Ok this doesnt make alot of sense as a start but bear with me.
To give some context, watch this video:
ok so basically, leeroy wipes his entire party because he ran in and “leeroyed” the entire party. He was crazy to run into the room and pop all the eggs.
Now consider life. When was the last time we did something crazy? When was the last time God told us to do something crazy His glory but we said, “meh im fine right here.” You may say to yourselve, “thats never happened,” but what about those times when you felt you really should talk to someone standing accross the street but ignored them? The person at church who looks new but they seem fine so theres no need to talk to them? When was the last time we really stepped out to show Gods love to others?
What if PALS (the guild from the leeroy WoW video), was really God? what if PALS said, “this should never work, but we’re gonna do it anyways because it has a long term ramification,” and leeroy ran in, and God pwned the entire room. Philipians 4:13 “I can do everything through him who gives me strength.”
Why is it dificult for us to take these steps in faith? Matthew 21:18-22, “Early in the morning, as he was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.
20When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
21Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
Now think of Indiana Jones: The last crusade
He was able to take the step, but that was for his father. In turn, why cant we do this for our heavenly father?
Mark 10:13-15 ” 13And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. ”
Jesus used the term “verily.” In other places he says “verily verily i tell you the truth,” as a more emphasis on his meaning, yet in regards to taking the steps of faith we need to, we need to know that this is a fact.

Fact is defined as: “Knowledge or information based on real occurrences.” Now when we’re younger, if our mom or dad tells us to not cross the street without looking both ways or we’ll get turned into tomato soup, isnt that a fact? if our parents tell us to wash the dishes or else, isnt this a truth? If our parents say if we dont get to bed soon santa wont come, isnt that a fact?
Luke 11:11-13 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[a] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
This is also a fact.
luke 28:16-20 “Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
in light of the above, let us take crazy steps and actions. Let us take steps knowing God has our back. We dont play by the rules of earth, we play by Gods rules, and he has the big picture. Isaiah 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.” Let us be freaks for Christ and take those steps and leeroy without a second thought, having the security of God behind us when we are walking in the spirit with our heavenly Father.
Just some food for thought.
