Catalyst
“Catalyst: A person or thing that precipitates (comes before, causing) an event.”
“A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change.”
Why do we let the world and the swirling abyss of the enemy’s lies influence us?
Are we not the ones that cause or instigate CHANGE?
Why do we allow ourselves to be changed by the external shouts and internal whispers that are NOT from God?
He has placed us here to be HIS catalysts; not to be changed by our surroundings, but rather to permanently and completely change everything we come in contact with!
I’ll tell you why we hear the shouts and whispers.
Because our enemy (God’s enemy) knows that if he can shut us down, restrict, or limit us in knowing who we are in God and who God has created us to be; then the devil knows that in some way he has thwarted God’s plan. Not God’s ultimate plan; because even the enemy is not so stupid as to think that. But, if he can hinder you (one person) from entering into their destiny of being God’s catalyst; then he can not only hinder them, but possibly even cause those that were to be affected (changed) by your ministry, to remain unchanged.
How are we to see God’s desired reaction if we hold back?
Notice I said God’s desired reaction; not ours! We see the foaming starting to take place in the chemical (spiritual) reaction and we start holding back. When God’s goal is to see the whole situation, person, environment changed. We see the few bubbles or vapor starting to appear and we’re like…
“Well I better quit! Things are starting to get stirred up. I’m rocking the boat…settle down.”
WHAT?!!
God wants not one molecule to be left unchanged! He wants the WHOLE situation, person, environment changed! What are we doing holding back??!! We for sure don’t know better than God does; about what He wants!
God wants us to have more of Him than just a name (Christians); or more than for us to wear Him like a t-shirt. He wants to change every part of us. Not to just be an additive. God IS the ultimate catalyst! You cannot hold Him back from His purposes! Don’t let the devil hold you back from your purpose, because it is from God; and the devil can’t hold you back either!
So STOP LETTING him!
