New season 2008

I am trusting God to send people to me that are willing to live as a family, sharing all they have and actively taking up their place as mature son's getting involved in the Family business: THE KINGDOM of GOD.

Acts 4:32-35
All the believers were of one heart and mind, and no one felt that what he owned was his own; everyone was sharing.... and there was warm fellowship (literally great grace) among all the believers and no poverty; for all who owned land or houses sold them and brought the money to the apostles to give to others in need.

My vision and my purpose was to fulfill this.... for truth to be present, for love to be active, this is the only way. Whatever is of the Spirit is pure and supercedes that of the flesh. Our relationships, and family ties should be far superior and stronger than that of the flesh. This is not seen, because we are not actively making the choices and decisions necessary to see this manifest. We need a new mindset and we need to stretch our thinking into the dimension that will let the words 'HEAVENLY MINDED' ring true.

The TRUTH is quite simple.... it doesn't need deep thinking or special intellect, it just needs a willing heart, honesty and the humility to allow God to transform or re-shape you into His image. He will do it, all He wants is for us to co-operate. Eg. If there is just one slice of bread in the house, because I love my child, I will give it to her and go without. This sacrifice is not effort, but I feel thankful and humbled that I had a slice of bread to be able to give to her. It is a privilege for me to be in this situation.... I'm privileged to have and to be able to share what I have.... this must be a truth ALSO, and even more so, in my Spiritual life, in the family of God. This is the promise I'm after... this is what I choose to have, people that are willing to love in the fullness of the TRUTH. So funny how the world will use what God gave us and enrich themselves with His ways.... where do you think insurance companies came from? This is God's way... as a body, we see to it that there is no lack in the body and out of the overflow of the cup, that which spills into the saucer, we evangelise, reach out and do good unto all.

The Holy Spirit is, was and will always be my teacher. He leads me and often uses people, books, audio, visual, nature, movies and road signs or advertising (all sorts to whatever I'll open mind). I only read, listen and co-operate as I'm instructed. Often I have to wait months before reading a book as He prepares me; sometimes I only read one or two chapters and often I only finish a book a year or two later. He leads me and networks me with people... at each and every encounter I have a responsibility to hear from God and then to follow His instruction. I do this not because I'm a servant or under the law, but because I love Him, because I'm serious about His Kingdom to be manifest, because I'm a son of God and I respect and revere Him. Lastly also because I know He knows better and He is all wise. I wait for His timing and I am content in each situation because I know He is faithful and He will not forsake me. He will only do good unto me. In short, I am serious about His purpose for my life and I believe He has a purpose for my life and for every individual. I am thankful to Him leading me to work with dysfunctional people and drug addicts for the past few years. I have learned so much... how to trust Him, how to let go and let God, how to follow instruction and how to discern and see manipulation. I am thankful that by selling what I had to care for those who did not have or those that had, but were so poor in their Spirit that they could not donate, that I am set free of the curse of desiring or wanting money. I have been taught compassion, grace and patience. I have realised that the church cannot teach people how as they too were too poor to care for their own. The church has the answer, but because the church honors degrees and money more that heart, it too has been deceived by their own judgements they make and made.

It's blessed to be foolish! Listen to children and allow God to lead you... he used a donkey before, what stops Him to use those whom you condemn? It is not for man to judge, but it's Godly to be mercyful. It will cost you to learn to discern, so that you can not be robbed by Satan; are you willing to pay the price? Jesus said... reckon the price... then don't look back, because if you do, you are not fit for the Kingdom of God.

Truth involves 3 things so that you know it's God's love working through you:
Your money; Are you giving financially sharing all you have ,without making people feeling guilty about it or having to proclaim it to the world?
Your time and effort; Are you giving of yourself, are you putting your own time and effort into people? Time is important as this is something you can never replace or buy back. What use is it for a parent to work day and night to fulfill all the desires of his family, but no time is spent with the kids and no relationship is built?
Your name; Jesus is not ashamed of you and He is willing to call you His own in the midst of sin. Are you willing to be seen with renowned sinners, to believe in them and to confess that they are worth the effort?

1 John 3:17
But who ever has the worlds goods, and sees his brother have a need, and shuts up his bowels of compassion from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
