2010: The Year We Make Contact
When I was twelve years old a movie came out called 2010: The Year We Make Contact, and although I’ve never seen the film, I keep finding myself thinking about its title as we approach the literal 2010. The year we make contact—I like that. And I want that to be the theme of my life in this New Year. I want to come into contact with some of God’s purposes that I’ve heretofore missed out on. I want to experience greater boldness in witness and ministry. I want to contact the Lord’s presence in ways that I’ve never experienced before. Do you remember in John 1:47 when Jesus first met Nathaniel and instantly shared with him some God-given insights about the state of Nathaniel’s heart? Nathaniel was so undone that he exclaimed, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel." And Jesus replied by saying, "You will see greater things than these. Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man." I want that to be our collective testimony this year. I want us to see "greater things" than what we’ve ever seen before! Don’t you? Would you join me in making that our focused, unified prayer for 2010 and beyond?
