“Life in-Between”

"There are only two options regarding commitment; you're either in or you're out. There's no such thing as life in-between."
Pat Riley
Most of us have heard the story of the chicken arguing with the pig on commitment; it wasn’t the chicken that was fully committed, (at the breakfast table) the pig has to give his all. There is no in-between.
We know that same thing holds for us in Christ, we have to be all in, or we’re not in at all.
Life in-Between is a lousy way to live, work, or minister. A sold out person for the Lord, is the only way to live.
We know that when the Lord called us to minister with 2=1 in 1995 (then MMI), we prayed, counted the cost, and said to the Lord, we’ll go until you say no. Since that time, we had the most amazing opportunities to minister and have been all over the world and spent 4 months on the road in 2009, doing so.
We know we don’t have all the answers….but we sure know the One who does. Our intercessor team has helped us, hear from the Lord on a number of occasions. They were given insight, which helped us win a battle in spiritual warfare in another country. We would have been in big trouble if we hadn’t been committed to prayer, and had committed intercessors.
With prayer there isn’t any, “Life in-Between” we need to be all in. We’ve all had times when we were remiss in this part of our lives, could we encourage you, get back to the discipline, He’s waiting for you, His commitment has never ceased, to be there. He misses us when we don’t keep our commitments, you see He only has one option and that is a full commitment to you, and there isn’t any Life in-Between for Him.
Do you have examples you could share with all of us, about your victories in this area?
