I am Adam

God is absolutely brilliant...go figure. And He has done so much that I am thankful for in the past years and especially months. God has given me some amazing vision for my future over my time working in Australia and Asia! It comes in two parts, He has revealed to me who I am and what He designed me for. I'm so thankful for His amazing faithfulness to speak. How often do we get stuck thinking we are praying to a God that is billions of miles away who is hard to connect with. But in actual fact faith is just acknowledging and realizing He is sitting across the table from us, living in us, we open our mouths and He immediately hears and touches us. We can speak to Him and He speaks back, because He loves and wants relationship with us.
Anyway, I want to update everyone on what God is doing in me, and what He has prepared me for over the past few years. First I'm going to update you on a very significant word God spoke to me about who I am. Then share with you next week about what God has spoken about my future!

I AM ADAM
And Adam in the bible was not created for what He could do, for worship leading or doing missions or evangelising. Adam was created for intimacy, made with God's own hands, breathed into by the mouth of God. Adam was designed to walk with God, to know Him, holding hands and walking through the garden together. While others would hide, Adam was created not to, but to rejoice in the Glory of God, shameless and free.
Adam was created for leadership, he was the first of his kind, and the first and only one who walked with his Creator. Therefore, he was the only one who could introduce every other being to that Creator. He was meant to lead civilization and was given authority.
Adam was created to take dominion, he was designed with authority over land, over his destiny, the choices he made. That is, whether he partners with God or with the works of evil. He was told to name the animals and be a steward of the environment. He was God's manager on earth and was given God's authority, as an ambassador, or representative of God on earth. When the animals saw Adam walking in the garden, and Adam is created in the image of God, or in the "illusion of God" the animals should have been confused and wondered whether it was God or Adam they were seeing. This is obviously pre-fall. The glory of God was with Adam.

Now I am far from being this, but this is my identity, its what was intended for me. And for us. God has been speaking to me about how He created me to lead others into intimacy with Him by authority and strength. Integrity and a thirst for justice for the nations. God has given me an identity to aim for a journey to be a part of, He has shown me what He intended for me and its exciting.

I always had struggles with identity. I'm quite good at many things, but not especially good at any one thing. So while other people are "worship leaders" or "trade workers" or "writers" I always felt left out, like God didn't give me an identity. But over the last years and specifically last three months, God has told me I have an identity and if being His son, the one to inherit His kingdom isn't enough, then nothing will be. I'm a son of God, designed to know my Father intimately, and thats enough for me, thats who I am. Maybe this message resounds with where you are at. Maybe you are a "jack of all trades master of none", well, be a son, there is nothing more powerful than knowing your Father and receiving the spirit of sonship.

I am Adam, son of God, my Father. I am designed for intimacy with the Lord and to lead others there. Are you an Adam as well?

Be Blessed this Christmas, I will be in touch next week to share why I am coming home in February!
