Wouldn’t it be thrilling to spend the night laying your hands on people and seeing them healed? Would you be excited if a demon possessed person was freed when you ordered the demon to leave? If you reached down to a dead man and pulled him to his feet, alive and well, wouldn’t you be telling everyone about it?
You have every right to be joyful and excited when God uses you. The problem occurs when we make these things our destination instead of merely a means to the end. Our goal is not the spiritual gifts or being able to experience God working in our lives. Our goals are to be found in eternal fruit.
If you were to be used to bring someone back to life, it would be absolutely awesome. If that person was able to live another 30 years, but in all that time never accepted Jesus as their savior, what was gained?
“…rejoice because your names are written in heaven.” The only true eternal treasure in this world is a soul. Experiencing God using you is thrilling, but it is hollow compared to a soul coming to know salvation through Jesus Christ.
