>Your children are My children

Posted in Experience on May 25, 2007| Leave a Comment »

>Your children are not in your hands and should not be your primary focus, I should be your primary focus. These are My children – I loaned them to you to enjoy and love, but never forget they are Mine.

I have good plans for each of them, but they are My plans and My ways of leading them for their own particular calling. You are letting your own desires cloud the fact that I call on My Own timetable and for My Own purposes.

I put that love and faithfulness for your children in you and it is a good thing, but even good things must be laid on My altar. You will not be bereaved of your children, you will not be disappointed. You must trust that I love them as I love you and will pick them up when they cry.

You put in them the knowledge, they can cry to me, they shall cry out to Me and I shall hear and pick them up. Trust Me to do that.

>My voice and no backup plan

Posted in Experience on May 25, 2007| Leave a Comment »

>My sheep hear My voice. You know My voice because I care for you, and in the midst of many voices, all calling for your attention, you can hear Mine – it’s the one that brings peace to your soul.

It doesn’t matter what the other voices say, I am the Lord. The voice of worry, self pity, lust, greed, selfishness have no power to work. I, alone, have the power within Myself to keep and defend you. Trust My hand, trust My voice, have no backup plan – you don’t need one, lean completely on Me.

Simple faith is all I require.

Yours is not to know the big picture but to know the Big God who controls the big picture. You will hear my voice and you will recognize it and you will follow.

It will be good.

>My Call to St. Cuthbert Episcopal

>You are getting direction better than dreams, you hear my Spirit in your heart and mind. Why try to go back to what was at best confusing when you can hear me through my Holy Spirit?

Paul on a missionary journey with his ministry blocked didn’t know which way to go had a dream of a Macedonian calling for help. You, too, are on a missionary journey and have been seeking where but the pastor, himself, comes to you and asks for help, not in a dream but in person; go that direction like Paul went to Macedonia not knowing the future but knowing I am there. I’ll not ask anything of you that I shall not provide. What do you care of buildings and pageantry, follow Me and let happen what I do. Take Acts 16:9-10 as confirmation of your decision.

See how I have led you in the past? I stir your heart then redirect you, channeling you to the right way.

I stirred you to have faith to buy a helicopter for a missionary then I asked you to simply pay for a missionary’s way to the field, and it satisfied that desire. I stirred you to return to the pastorate then gave you a message for a new church founder to base his ministry on, and it satisfied that desire. So I stirred you to receive messages from me in dreams and visions, then you the life experiences others only dream of. Isn’t flesh and blood better than a dream?

Don’t worry about the battle or of winning and loosing, focus on following Me. Anything on this earth you “win” is only temporary and anything on earth you “lose” or have taken away is meaningless. You said you wanted to see the unseen, well, this is the way to do that. Set your pride on me not your physique. Set your sense of victory on Me not the theological battles won/lost or the buildings kept. I will provide fellowship for you in Me and with those who are alive in Me.

You shall fish in waters where they are hungry and want my word; don’t be discouraged at resistance.

Concerning your family’s response, I shall make things clear as you move forward. Don’t push, lead.
