Irrevocable:adjective that cannot be revoked, undone, recalled.




So this is Lonnie Frisbee baptizing some dirty hippie. Because he was a dirty Hippie. If you don't know about him.. then you need to.

So right now, God is talking to me about something so great. 

No matter how far away I feel from him.. I can't run fast enough. He is ALWAYS with me. 
For a while I was pretty far off. I couldn't hear his voice. Probably because I was to drunk to hear him. and I don't mean drunk in the spirit.
I really haven't had a problem with feeling too guilty about this time. However I am sad that I wasted time not being in his presence.
Now that I'm surrounded all the time I never want to leave.
So here's the good news I got..
Romans 11:29 "For God's gifts and his call are irrevocable."
I know that might seem simple.. But it's something that I think a LOT of people don't get.
So Lonnie Frisbee was this amazing guy, and he became gay and the church took him out of leadership. Which if I was a pastor would probably do to. BUT the thing that sucks is that he lost his following. 
He later got over being gay I guess, and was totally cleansed from the lifestyle. He did die of AIDS in 1994 I believe. But here's the point.. God didn't take away his gift. He still had it.
There are so many people in church history that have lead major revivals and they have fallen because of some moral issue. But they still had the same gifts. 

This is pretty different from what I've experienced in my life. But the point is, I've been an idiot. But God is still here, and I've picked up where I left off and I never want to have to do that again. I still have all my same gifting's, he didn't take them away to punish me. I still have the same call on my life. and NOTHING not even 9 months of partying can take that away.

I'm gonna go to bed now.
