A Personal Update (Speaking & Writing) ? Matt Moore ?

Well, most of you know my story. You know my theology. You know my heart.

I want to see Jesus Christ glorified by God?s children coming to Him through the call of the gospel? forsaking the world for Him and loving Him more than their own lives. I want to use everything the Lord has given me?. my past, my struggles, and my gifts?. to be apart of His great mission.

We are all called to share the gospel and make disciples, regardless of location or vocation. I?ve been a personal trainer now since my conversion (for the past 4 years) and I?ve tried in my broken abilities to bring the gospel there with me?. and the Lord has blessed me to see people transformed by His Spirit. It has really been amazing, and just confirms with me that all of us?. whether we are the President of the United States or the Janitor at Burger King, can make an impact on the people around us.

Since the day the Lord drew me to in to Himself and opened my eyes, I?ve had a desire to share Him with others.. through the lens of my experiences? obviously homosexuality being apart of that. I believe that the Lord called me out in the way He did, at the time He did, for the purposes of communicating through me to the gay community?. and also the Church. I didn?t know, and still don?t, what that fully entails? but I?m willing to go where the Lord takes me? as long as the Holy Spirit controls me and humility restrains me from pride and self-exaltation. Lifting myself up, rather than Christ, is my biggest fear.

I?ve had a feeling (not saying all feelings are right lol) that the Lord wanted me to travel and point people to Him. For two years I?ve felt this way?. but I was not going to try to do it in my flesh or in my own strength. I don?t want to be outside of the Lord?s timing and be void of His anointing. I?ve told HIm, ?You lead. You open doors. I?ll follow??.. I?ve been impatient at times and gotten in my flesh (frustration)? for sure. But I know that His timing is perfect and His perfect will is going to bring me the most joy and Him the most glory.

I believe the Lord has opened doors now, and is telling me to follow.

Three months ago I signed with a major Christian literary agency ( www.theblythedanielagecy.com ) and began working on my first book. I never really seriously considered writing a book, but when they approached me about it.. I took it as one of those ?I?m opening the door? now walk in? messages from God, so I did? and it?s been an amazing experience so far.

Through my literary agent, Jessica, I was also linked up last week with a Christian Speaking Agency. Although I?ve felt like I was supposed to travel and speak, I was still cautious and hesitant in going into the conference call we had with this speaking agency last week. I don?t want to push something faster than the Lord intends? so I just told Him, ?If this is your will, make it clear. If not, I?m content. You?re enough.?

The Lord made it so very clear through that phone call (and other events over the next couple days) that it is time. The Speaking Agency ( www.therobinsonagency.com ) contacted me a few hours after our phone call letting me know they?d like to represent me and that they felt the Lord crossed our paths for a purpose? I accepted, feeling the same way. They are starting to book me immediately.

I am so excited, in the depths of my spirit, about the path that the Lord is laying out before me. I?m also cautious? because I know the dangers. And I don?t just mean spiritual warfare, I mean the dangers within myself. Pride, self-centeredness, deviation from Christ, etc. It?s all too easy to get caught up in ?the things of God?? and that is the biggest battle I face. I want Jesus Christ, only Him. And through writing and speaking, I want to gain more of Him and see others gain more of Him. So if you?re a praying person, would you mind praying for me? I would genuinely be so thankful.

I?m going to add a section on my website about the speaking, and provide contact information to the agency that?s representing me. If you think your church might be interested in having me at some point, you can email jackie@therobinsonagency.com and just put ?Matt Moore? in the subject.

If you are going to pray for me, I want to thank you again so much. And if you have been praying for me over the past couple of years, I want to let you know I feel those prayers? every single day. Just pray for His will to be done in my life? no matter what that ends up looking like.
