Michael...lecture (bad describing work to grab attention) RISK

"Risk" People of chance=change
There's this level that Mike showed us
Good Intentions/Ideas on top
Then there's this risk zone in the middle
Then there's the Transformation at the end.
Look at Joshua 5:12
Think about the walk around the walls of Jerico. How crazy did those people of faith look?
The had responsibility to 'go' and take positioin.
GOd would rather us make mistakes than do nothing. I liked Mike's thing about when we're on outreach, be careful as DTS students not to hide behind prayer walks, and things like intercession which aren't taking much risk. Perhaps God is waiting to 'do' something once we GO and 'do' something.
The people changing the world, are RISK takers, failing over and over.
I like my small group's intercession for each other because I learned a lot about myself I didn't know or realize they saw in my and heard from God. Christine's words that I'm like Peter who did choose to walk on water, but feared and sank. God held his hand and picked him up. It gave light in the fact that yes I faulter and sink a lot, but I am one who would probably take a step out and out of the bunch say I'll try walking on water to Jesus. (Look at New Zealand).
