Having been in the church some 20 plus years I find I know less now about what the church needs today than I did when I entered this life.
I find that Christ, apostle Paul and handful of proverbs have had way more understanding about what the church has needed than I ever could. In the beginning I thought I could fix, be innovative, relevant only to find I caused more angst than I did cohesiveness. Continue reading Every Church Needs A…
Last night was multiple dreams throughout the night. The common thread? People needing people. In each dream there was possibility, opportunity and openings. There was also the need for people to come alongside and help. People need people.
Reaching out is key in so many situations. Reaching in is the key in others.
Something is changing. I sense it, I see it, I observe it. Our voices are being heard. I know many are frustrated, disappointed and discouraged. I said yesterday that so many thought 2014 would be the year and already they are pulling the “plug” on it because something did not happen, did not go right. Continue reading Don’t Be Fooled By Discouragement
Channeling…got your attention. Definitely a word we need to recapture.
Last night I had a very engaging dream. Weird, provoking and once again putting tension on ethics and understanding.
Here is the first part…
The young lady had attended a class on “Chaos: Channeling the News.” I knew who she was. She was a bright young voice with a full future ahead. What I saw happen, was this class was doing something weird to her that I could not explain. When I called her over to talk she had one of those “paper games” we had as children where you would fold paper to fit over your four fingers and come up with an answer. She came up to and showed me this. IDAHO is what it said. Then she used the word like this. IDAHO= I don’t act hurt openly Continue reading Is Your Channeling The News Keeping You From Growing?
“Too many cooks will spoil the broth”…remember that!
Dream
A few weeks ago I had an interesting dream.(December 7th 2013) In that dream I went into a restaurant. The restaurant looked very similar to one I had owned in the early 1980’s. As I walked through the double doors I felt something change. Like there was a lift in the atmosphere.
I looked over the stainless steel shelving and instead on one or two chefs, I had five. The night was expected to be normal, perhaps 200 dinners, why the five chefs? Continue reading Shhhh… Listen! Do You Hear The Sound Of Five Chefs?
Each day I learn more and more about me, about God and about honor and team. Because of this I am subject to God in bringing forth the clearest words I can. I am subject to my wife and family to place them in the forefront of all I say and all I do. I am in fellowship with my local house (The Village Church) and I am on a leadership team in this house as well as working regionally. Continue reading Prophetic Guidelines For This Blog
“You know the day destroys the night…”
A few nights ago I had a dream. With everything going on I just sat on it and let it percolate. Honestly it disturbed me a slightly.
Here was a map over and aerial view with 5 areas “smudged out” almost as if there was a cloud over that area that would not allow the satellite camera to see. As two of us looked over the map I said “I know there is something there. I am going.” I got in my vehicle and headed there. Continue reading How To Disappear And Change The World
This morning while I was praying I felt the Lord quicken me about a word related to the Village fellowship my wife and I attend. Many want to know what “church” will look like in 2014.
This is what I believe The Village Church will see in the coming days. Continue reading Prophetic Word for The Village Church 2014
I sat there this morning and read a few posts and thought people are in need. People need help. The difficulty was they were too often turning to a man or a woman with the belief that one person was going to save them, rescue them.
Too many are relying on the gift or calling of God in helping them avoid their personal growing up process. In the worst of cases this can turn to manipulation, groveling, self-degradation and a life style rife with dangerous results. Continue reading Don’t Be Fooled-“I Need A Hero”
