Renewed Sense of Urgency

There are certain experiences that we encounter as believers that lead to a renewed focus on the urgency of sharing the Gospel and furthering the kingdom work of bringing glory to God. These are the life purposes of those who follow Jesus. If we are observant during the times of experiencing the need for the influence of Jesus to take over, we will see in a very real way of the depravity of humanity. Certainly we could see these experiences everyday if we were not so distracted by our life obligations. Seeing the activity of that which is contrary to what God sees as righteous should stir in the heart of those transformed by the power of God a desire to devote their energy to proclaiming the power of God. 

What this simply comes down to is what is emphasized in churches all over the world, very consistently. Application of what we have come to know about God and His Will is identifying the use of these principles in our current life circumstances. To see the world through the eyes of our changed lives with a new and more complete understanding of who God is, this is application. Once you see it, the actions that are needed are sure to follow. The hinderance that takes place is the lack of knowledge or the lack of seeing the current circumstance in light of the growth in true understanding of God that has taken place. Urgency is just the term to describe the transition from just knowing about what is righteous to truly seeing circumstances as a changed sinner. If you want to be more urgent in influencing the world to reflect the things of God, such as love and eternal hope in Jesus, then start by intentionally processing the world and the current circumstance in light of what you know about God. knowing more, with the transition to seeing more, will bring the inevitability of doing more. Just knowing, without application, is still blindness. When you just know more you may say the right things, but you are still not doing and serving. This is still disobedience and all who have truly been saved by the power of God through faith in Jesus desire to be obedient. Lets be urgent by simply paying attention to God and what is happening all around us with the intention of application.
