Tom, No, everyone isn't going to follow, and often not right now anyway; but often impressions are left that we are unaware of, like watering that has small growing effects we cannot see right now. So yes, Patience, as God who waits for the harvest and because of love. Something fell on me today...struck me! First though...last summer during a fiery trial just prior to an amazing visitation and miraculous healing hubby said these words in a way that I thought God himself said them!...."The will of God and the will of man are 2 separate things." So today after I have been feeling really high in spirit lately, I was "seeing" that while "our" will is to be and live in the high places, it's often in the average places of life, where things just seem ordinary, that God's will is occuring most in us. I say occuring as a "verb." So you say...people won't follow, and I think, God is moving many of us along, even them, at a pace like a clock hand often, yet we are moving. Patience! The will of God...it works in God's ways that are not man's. amen?
Tommy, No I don't have that online church site, but it was neat! I left it then because I was convicted that the effort I was trying to make with the overseas people was not God's leading but my own...I tell you brother, God showed me something serious! We can play...and think we are doing a service to God and man, and can end up in "spiritual woe." And you know why and how? Because...not sinners, but those who call themselves by God's name, get to walking "after the flesh." Which means...after our own will and not Gods...after our own glory and not God's. And I have been to this place "He" termed "spiritual woe," and it aint pretty!
So I am cautious in life now, but yet more on fire for God than when I first began. I get tempted to work online; I Love the people God Loves so much and Love to be an Encourager and ofcourse...Councelor...and do have calling, but whatever I do, it has to have a pure motive of being 'for" the hearts of people; money alone doesn't interest me and won't keep me, yet because I do school at home online and work only part time as Nurse, it would be good to be able to propser some from home if only I could figure out what to do to Give what god gives me and at the same time prosper just a little in order to help the causes. Got any ideas?
I'm open to ideas...joint ventures, but again, it's not money that I will be solely motivated by, but a pure work to help people in heart and life. I know the time is coming; I feel it and God has told me: I feel alot to give that God has given me and a true passion for the hearts of people. Counceling is going to get me there I know, but I do ponder on ways to give now.
Usually I'm listening and being the encourager and adviser, feeling, as for me, it's God who is my councelor, but this one time I have spoken my own heart and desires. Open to responses to me if I may get any.
