Navigating in Uncertain Times

Since Returning from Tasmania something major has shifted in the World.

I wanted to speak and address some things as we can all easier get caught up in controversy and begin to react with fear and then make decisions that could be rash.

So what has changed , Violence , and increased level of Anti Semitism , Hatred and Persecution towards Christians, Wars, Famines, Earthquakes  Signs in the Sky.

The Conflict in the Middle East , The Escalation of events in Iraq and Syria has stirred up a lot of people.As I have looked at Scripture , I again read through Matthew Chapter 24.

What I would like to encourage everyone to do is firstly hear the words of Jesus ( Do Not Be Troubled)

Right now the End Times message, Biblical Prophecy Teaching is becoming popular, again I would encourage that we all be spending more time in the Word of God.  Let us be informed and aware of what is happening around the world so that we can pray effectively.

What is of greater importance is that we continue to hear Gods voice, and that we continue in being obedient in the Call that God has given to each of us.

Teaching on Repentance , and Holiness needs to be balanced out with Teaching on Grace and on  being intimate lovers and followers of Jesus Christ. How we live our lives as Disciples now that we have repented and we have chosen the narrow path.  The Teaching on Holiness and Repentance is not to produce shame and fear.  

Biblical Prophecy is not to drive us to live in fear. It is to confirm the times and seasons to which we now live in. The 3 things Jesus teaches us - Do not be Troubled,  Have no fear , Do not Worry,  Do not be Anxious that is the best advice we can take at this time.

How to be best prepare ourselves to be Ready for His Return

A)  Be radical followers and Lovers of Jesus Christ ( Be in Love, Be Holy , Be Set Apart)

B)  Form Kingdom Communities - Family & Community are the crux of all that happens

C)  We need to fast track Prayer Furnaces

D) Send out Firestarters with a Kingdom Now Word from the Lord, Filled with the Spirit of God, with Signs and Wonders following the Preaching of the word.

E)  Encouraging the Seers to See and Hear,  The Prophets to Discern and listen to the Holy Spirit of Key Events and speak into them bringing correction and guidance.

F)  Gatherings under the Radar  - Experiencing His Presence, Providing Places for Encounter

We need to do our part in making disciples , restoring davids tent, ensuring the Gospel gets to all people groups so the end can come.

Ensuring that the different parts of the Bride we are connected with are Ready, the Oil is full, Lamps are burning,  Lets get all the healing we can, all the Restoration we can so we are without Spot and blemish.

We still create a culture of presence, we still train others how to host the Presence of God.  The More the World gets darker the more we are to shine the brighter - to love more ,  to heal more, to be Jesus more. So let us be Sober , Be Prepared for His Return,  But Let us Live in Joy, Love and Peace and Fire and not in Fear and in Shame.
