Found this blog.
It talks about the
stages of faith that we go through. Make sure you read through it first. You'll
have a better understanding where I'm coming from if you do.
This is where I'm at in my journey,
and my husband, Jim is not too far behind.
With regards to this example, is
there a way to help people that have "hit the wall" so to speak? I
hit that wall four years ago, and finally pushed through.... still no real
guidance here though I meet with a group of prophetic people once a month or so,
to pray and share testimonies. We want to become MORE like Jesus; "Jesus
followers" rather than being in a Christian social club. We are
going deeper with our relationship with God, becoming intimate with our
Bridegroom; learning to listen, not only to one another, but to our Father in
heaven.
What does that look like, really?
It's not self-centered, that's for sure. It's other people centered, and
focused not on our own agendas. Living opened handed with God. Not allowing
what another might think of what I do as heretical (unorthodoxed), but as Jesus
initiated...bringing Heaven to Earth. “The Kingdom of God is at hand.”
Jesus said that "the Kingdom of
Heaven is at hand (now)." He ushered in that Kingdom. So how do we do
this? How do we “do”, as Jesus did? I want more of Him. It's not just
reading the Bible. God is more than "the Bible". God is real,
alive and working in our lives. So...how do we get this "alive-ness"
to those who need to wake up, so they can experience that
"alive-ness" of God?
In order for "the
Church" as a Body of Believers to make an impact upon this nation, God
must become more "real, alive and working" in our lives inwardly, so
that God's power can be shown to those outside of the building. We cannot be
concerned or worried or scared. However, if we don't allow the Holy Spirit to
take control (becoming open handed and allowing God’s agenda; not our own), the
Body of Christ will continue to stay stagnant, frustrated and be powerless.
Anyway, these are just
thoughts rambling in my brain. Just thought I'd share them with you. If
anyone would like to discuss this….I’m open.
