Taking It By Force!

This past year I went to several seminars. Andrew Wommack, Bill Johnson & Mehesh Shavad, Elijia List (East Coast Prophetics) And this week at Rand Clark's (School for Healing & Impartation) I observed something very interesting at these conferences, in all of them, they gave away FREE books, DVD's & CDs. Every time they gave them away, they would ask everyone who wants it? Almost everyone would raise their hands, I do, I do! Then there were a few who got off their buts and came forward, and there were even fewer, that grabbed it (taking it by force). I've made mental note of this and conveyed this thought to a few friends in relation to spiritual gifts.

Well today Randy Clark was giving away a few books. Most everyone raised their hands for, he handed them out to a few who asked, some far away, some close. No one running up to ask! I wasn't interested in those books so I didn't raise my hand. Then he got to the last book of his he was giving away on "Impartation". I wanted that one! He asked who wanted that one? I raised my hand like many others. Noticed his body language was different then the others he had handed out, standing in mid stage with his hand up high, saying "Who want's this book?" So I started to move quickly to the front, noticing another women on my right moving quickly too. So I ran in front of him, putting my hand right in his face, saying I do. Noticed his stair straight ahead. He then confirmed to me what he was trying to do, by saying "If anyone really wants this book bad enough, (that's when I moved) they can have it!" So I snatched it from his hands. His point proved and example shown to others. He then started his lesson off with "Those wanting spiritual gifts bad enough, take it by force!"

Very good lead in! I felt honored in a way to be the one, taking it by force. I pray my life lives in parallel with that spiritually as well!

Take it by Force!
There is so much God wants to offer us, and He is sure to give it to those who go get it, but less likely to those who sit back. There is so much, just go get them!

Praise, Renew, Persevere, Love-
