Feeling Restless? You Were Made for More

You feel it, don’t you? That restless energy. It’s that deep, nagging sense that you were put on this planet to do something huge, something that matters.

We’ve all been there. You’re scrolling through social media, watching the chaos of the world unfold - the debates, the heartbreak, the injustice - and amidst the noise, a quiet voice whispers: “Someone needs to step up. Someone needs to change this.”

And deep down, you suspect that ‘someone’ might be you.

In their new book, P3: Prayer, Power and Proclamation, Dr Christopher Peppler and Lance Peppler address this exact feeling. They argue that this isn’t just a fleeting thought or a desire to be the main character; it is a divine spark. It is the Creator’s fingerprint on your soul, nudging you towards something epic.

The Problem: The Plastic Butter Knife

If we are called to be world-changers, why do we so often feel powerless?

The Introduction to P3 hits the nail on the head. The problem isn’t a lack of passion; it’s that we often try to fight spiritual battles with human tools. We rely on our own limited strength, our intellect, our charisma, or our social media reach. We burn out because we are trying to do God-sized work with human-sized resources.

As the authors brilliantly put it: "It’s like trying to fell a giant redwood with a plastic butter knife – noble effort, but pointless."

The Solution: The Jesus Model

To make a real difference, we need a divine partnership. We need to look at the definitive model: Jesus Christ.

The book breaks down a pivotal moment in Luke 9, where Jesus goes up a mountain and comes back down to heal a boy possessed by a demon. This passage reveals the three-step cycle that fueled Jesus’s ministry - and the cycle that should fuel ours:

1. Prayer (Connection) Jesus didn't just pray as a religious duty; He retreated to solitude to establish a direct line to the Father. This wasn't about reciting a wish list; it was about deep connection, receiving guidance, and aligning with Heaven.

2. Power (Anointing) After connecting, Jesus was demonstrably "charged" by the Holy Spirit. This power wasn't for a warm, fuzzy feeling during a church service; it was the raw, spiritual energy needed to authenticate His message in a broken world. It turns the Gospel from good advice into a supernatural reality.

3. Proclamation (Action) This is the release. The authors coin the term "ProclamAction." It’s not just talking; it’s speaking God’s will and backing it up with His power through healing, deliverance, and miracles. Jesus didn't just discuss the Kingdom; He demonstrated it.

Stop Scrollling, Start Living

You weren't designed to passively scroll through life, consuming content and keeping up with trends. You were designed to be an active agent of change - a "Kingdom carrier."

P3: Prayer, Power and Proclamation is a hands-on guide to stopping the cycle of feeling powerless and starting the cycle of living a Spirit-powered life. It’s time to trade in the plastic butter knife for the power of the Holy Spirit.
