"Take a step back and view your life through the perspective of eternity. Each decision that you make etches a lasting inscription in the walls of history. Choices that are made will become the fruit of the following generations. this is the beautiful part of being alive - the blood that was shed on the battlefield of decisions now becomes the inheritance of authority in your family lineage.

There will come a day of justice when history will be revealed to each person. In that moment, the fruit of your life will be unveiled right before your eyes. On that day there will be a great celebration in the heavens for the man who has weathered the many storms of life while planting a harvest for a generation that he is now able to see. His reward will be everlasting. He will hear the father’s words, ‘well done good and faithful servant, the little that has been given you has been multiplied through your hands.’

There is a conviction that is meant to weigh heavy upon each person who calls himself a believer. We live within the awareness that life was meant to be sown into a destiny of people that we will not see. This conviction drives the mighty to pursue the impossible; the strong to brave many storms. There is no escaping the thundering storms of opposition, for we are the ones who have been commissioned to calm each of them. Each believer is called to take the test of life and turn it into a testimony. we have been launched into the darkest places of the earth transforming them into light of the world. We are the ones who see an army in the dry bones. It is us who can win the battle with the jar and the torch.

Who you are should not be decided by the economy, persuaded by popular opinion, or formed through the media’s bend. We are counter-culture by nature. We are predestined from the womb, set apart from the beginning. This life that we have chosen can only be navigated with the renewed mind. The old man screams too much when faced with the impossible and the flesh is a poor decision maker.

Have you decided who you will be? Do you know what you will leave behind? With your words you create worlds; with your prayers you release inheritance. the balance between life and death has been designed to rest in your hands. like many who have gone before you, we now have the opportunity to create change in the world around us. how you choose to live today is a choice for eternity." - Jason Vallotton
