Thank You, Lord!!
Our dream for a long time has been to help people, but:
- We do not want a traditional ‘ministry’ or to be Pastors of a church;
- We don’t want to be encumbered by the world’s business methods;
- We are not interested in operating under the limits of the status-quo;
- We have no desire to write a book, or to be a NY Times Bestselling Author;
- We do not want a non-profit organization that is limited by it’s donations;
- We do not want to spend enormous resources in fund-raising;
- We do not want to be a CEO managing a large business enterprise;
- We will not give control to boardmembers or stockholders, because they don’t share our vision;
- We do believe our mission will be extremely well-funded;
- We want to travel the USA, but not live in hotels nor out of suitcases;
- Therefore, we cannot be home-based in one location;
- We want to help people in big ways as well as in small ways.
So, thank You, Lord that Your supply for our heart’s desire is able to accomplish all of this in great style! It has truly been worth the wait and the frustration of not knowing where we were headed, or how this will happen.
But, we truly are “witnesses of Your GREAT provision for all whom You love,” according to Your prophetic word to us.
Some people may think this is selfish or a bit arrogant of us to tell God what we want, instead of ‘surrendering’ to His will and letting Him dictate to us what He wants from us. That is a common misconception by those who do not know about our New Covenant relationship with God as Believers in Christ. The Old Covenant Law was all about demands and orders to be obeyed by man. But, the New Covenant of Grace reveals the TRUE nature of God as One who supplies and gives, rather than demands or gives orders.
I won’t go into this subject here, but if you are intrigued by this truth, I recommend you (1) read and meditate on the NEW Testament for a few weeks or months, asking the Holy Spirit to do His job of revealing truth to you; (2) avoid reading or meditating on the OLD Testament during this time; (3) contact me for further information (either Gordon or Karan), or post a reply below.
This is my dream too! Thank you for so clearly writing this prayer for us to see!
I have printed it out, and am so grateful for this clarity and wisdom teaching!
Sincerely,
Denise
