I was speaking to a friend and said you know we just want a  DRIVE THRU JESUS! We both laughed but He was most definitely not laughing friends! He began to stir so heavy in me that I could not sleep until this was written! As I began to write all He gave me, my little sort of fun blues song turned into a serious message that He has asked me to share in it’s entirety. The song will be…but for now this is of most importance to His heart.

We live in a world where everything is instant gratification! I WANT IT NOW! We want something…for nothing. We have come to “expect “and “demand” without putting in any time at all for things. We want friends without being a friend. We want love without giving love! I mean we are now the world of drive thru’s and fast food! AMEN? If anything takes more than 60 seconds than it’s simply too long to wait!

I pray you will give me grace as you read this .  I am bound to obey Him in the little and big things in my walk with Him. I desire to please Him. Plus anything I share with you has already touched me personally as well. Please know it is easier to share this knowing I was one living it:) He is merciful, forgiving, and sooo loving! But He is Adonai-THE Master &  El Elyon-THE Most High God- we must heed His messages and ask is there something we need to change or allow Him to work out in us. He will help us as He molds us into the image of Christ. He adores us too much to leave us as we are..He has beautiful plans for us but let’s be willing to “handle a little business!”  shall we?

 

Drive Thru Jesus

I remember when an oil change was done at home and took awhile.

Or how about food cooked slowly with an aroma that made me smile?

Or how I’d wash my car by hand in my very own drive-way,

There was no quick stop, super lube, 10 minute wash it “MY” way.

 

We live in a world where “my way” is norm

Demand what we want from when we are born

And whenever we want -whatever we’ll pay

Unless it’s for Jesus, then I must delay.

 

$5 for coffee, Starbucks! NOTHIN less

A gift for another…ahh nothin’s left

$80 dollar jeans with the latest bling

$1 a day to feed the least of these.

Yes I am a Christian, of course I am

I believe in love and peace and faith of man.

I sit in a pew I have all my life

I’ve even given money from time to time.

 

I like to dress up and have a place to go

A place to belong ….with people like me you know.

My Faith it is quiet. I keep it to myself.

No forcing on others, I place Him on a shelf.

I pull Him out on Sundays when it’s acceptable you know

But the rest of the time I just try to get along.

 

I don’t really believe in evangelism

Unless you’re a pastor of course

I’ll leave it to the specialist

To tell others about the Lord.

 

Yea I’m going to heaven

I’m a good person, you know?

But I just don’t believe in all this talk of the “Holy Ghost.”

Yes, I believe in God and how He made the world

But not sure about “Satan and some evil dark world.”

Yes, I believe in  Jesus but I’ve never really talked to Him.

I would never think He’s angry or would one day “judge” our sin.

Some of you who are reading this  think God is speaking to the world

But sadly these are the thoughts of those who call themselves His boys and girls.

 

See, we want a drive thru Jesus just like that ole’ Mickey D’s.

We want to order Him our way, “Can I keep my sin pretty please.”

I want His name and my destiny claimed, my cake, and eat it too.

Yes “give me my mansion Oh Lord,” BUT  I’m short on time, I’ll get back to you.

Yea we want some drive thru Jesus. I need Him fast-SO serve Him up

I want Him to take my pain right now-regardless how long it took to get my stuff.

Naa, Got no intention of walking away from this  life that I enjoy

After all, He’s full of grace, He knows my heart and the rest is just noise.

 

No, I haven’t opened that book, it really doesn’t mean anything.

I mean, it’s just a historical book; it’s got nothing to do with me.

I don’t live under the law; don’t you know that I am free?

But did you skip the truth that says that” you will obey if you really love ME?”

 

Let me share a beautiful truth, maybe you haven’t heard?

You must put off those old clothes and get a new wardrobe.

Clothe yourself with His blood; His righteousness is white as snow

Throw away the former things so He can make you whole.

Yes, you must turn around, turn around… and walk away

Say goodbye to who you so construction in heaven can take place.

See it was I that realized I lived my life this way

So please don’t think I’m judging you, I truly can relate.

Oh no perfection has not come, only He can stake that claim.

But by the blood of Jesus I was redeemed and TRULY saved..
