Foundations for Eternity

Foundations for Eternity

She used to have a fear of being locked up in a box for eternity or not existing at all. The idea of nothingness terrified me, and she couldn't even imagine what it would be like. But what scared her even more was the thought of being forgotten by God. It was a fear that quietly hovered over me, and she didn't fully understand it until much later in life.

One day, she found myself crying and feeling devastated at the thought of being forgotten by God. It felt like the ultimate betrayal, like all my efforts to live a righteous life had been in vain. But as she prayed and sought answers from God, He revealed to her that this fear was not unfounded. In Matthew 7:23, Jesus says, "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

That revelation was a turning point for her and others have experienced the same in other ways. Many realize that fear is not just about the fear of being forgotten, but also about the fear of not truly knowing God. Many have been living their life for Him, but have not taken the time to truly know Him and develop a deep, personal relationship with Him.

Since that day, she has been intentional about seeking God and developing a personal relationship with Him. She and many others have learned that true intimacy with God brings peace and a sense of security that cannot be found anywhere else. Intentionality has also helped many to overcome the fear of being forgotten, because once you realize that walking in obedience and seeking God, causes Him to never forget you.

Our fears can be a result of our distance from God and our lack of knowledge about Him. However, as we invest time in seeking Him and growing closer to Him, we find the security and peace that we desire. Often, we try to fill the void with material things, creating idols that ultimately constrain us and leave us feeling lost in this modern world. By breaking free from these psychological constructs and focusing on our relationship with God, we can find true fulfillment and purpose.

In our modern world, we are caught in a system that values productivity, efficiency, and achievement above all else. We are encouraged to live our lives by the clock, constantly measuring our success and worth by how much we can accomplish in a given amount of time. We have become slaves to the clock, always rushing from one task to the next, never taking a moment to slow down and reflect on the bigger picture.

This systematic society that we live in creates constructs that can be psychologically and physically dysfunctional. We experience anxiety, stress, and burnout as we try to keep up with the demands of our fast-paced lives. We become disconnected from ourselves, from others, and from God. We must hold fast to sit down the presence of God in order to spiritually minded.

Timeless

We must learn to prioritize the things that truly matter - our relationships with ourselves, with others, and with God - over the societal pressure to constantly be productive and achieve. Only then can we break free from the constructs that keep us from living a full and meaningful life, and embrace the beauty of a timeless existence. What if we could break free from this construct of time and embrace a timeless state? What if we could live our lives in a way that values presence, connection, and compassion above productivity and achievement?

This is the essence of timelessness - living in the moment, fully present and engaged with the world around us.

Being timeless is a powerful way of living that allows us to find peace, clarity, and a sense of purpose in our daily lives. It means being fully present in the moment, without being distracted by the past or the future. It means being connected to our inner selves, and to the world around us in a profound and meaningful way.

This timelessness can have a powerful impact on the way we live our lives. When we are fully present and engaged, we are able to better understand our own needs and desires, as well as the needs of those around us. We are able to see the world more clearly, and to better appreciate its beauty and its challenges. We are better able to make wise and compassionate decisions that reflect our values and our sense of purpose.

Being timeless also allows us to cultivate a sense of inner peace and tranquility, even in the face of challenges and difficult circumstances. We are less likely to be driven by fear, anxiety, and stress, and more likely to be grounded in a sense of trust and faith in ourselves and in God. We are better able to let go of what no longer serves us, and to focus on what truly matters in our lives.

To cultivate timelessness in our lives, it can be helpful to adopt practices such as meditation, prayer, and mindfulness. These practices can help us to quiet our minds, to connect with our inner selves, and to find a sense of peace and clarity in the present moment. They can also help us to cultivate a greater sense of compassion and empathy for others, and to approach life with a spirit of curiosity, openness, and wonder.

It is important to recognize that the concept of timelessness is not about ignoring the temporal realities of our lives, nor is it about rejecting the value of productivity and achievement. Rather, it is about finding a balance between the demands of the present and the demands of the future, and about living in a way that reflects our deepest values and aspirations. It is about being intentional in our actions and our decisions, and about seeking to create a life that is rich in meaning and purpose.

Ultimately, being timeless means living in alignment with our true selves and with the divine. It means recognizing that we are part of something greater than ourselves, and that our lives have the potential to make a profound difference in the world around us. It means living with a sense of purpose and direction, and with a deep and abiding sense of love, compassion, and grace.

Living in a timeless state does not mean that we are constantly in a state of bliss or happiness. It means that we approach life with a sense of curiosity, openness, and acceptance, even in the face of challenges and difficulties. It means that we are able to adapt to changing circumstances and to find peace and clarity in the midst of uncertainty and change. We can become a stabilizing force in the world, offering a sense of calm and wisdom in times of turmoil and distress.

Timelessness is a way of living that allows us to connect with our inner selves and with the divine in a profound and meaningful way. It is a way of living that brings clarity, purpose, and peace to our daily lives, and allows us to be a force for good in the world. By cultivating timelessness, we can live with a greater sense of presence, connection, and compassion, and we can create a life that is truly rich in meaning and beauty.

Placing the culture of today at the center of our agenda creates an ongoing hustle to chase what is popular and trending. It can be exciting to live in the moment, to jump on the latest trend, to go along with the crowd, and to chase after what is shiny and new. But this way of living often leaves us feeling empty and unsatisfied, as we are constantly seeking external validation and approval.

Instead of focusing on the latest trends and cultural norms, we should focus on what truly matters – our faith, our relationships, and our sense of purpose. These are the things that will endure and sustain us through the ups and downs of life, and will bring us true joy, peace, and fulfillment.

Being timeless means choosing to live in a way that reflects our values and priorities. It means setting our hearts and minds on what is truly important – our relationship with God, our families and friends, and our responsibilities and commitments. It means making decisions that reflect our sense of purpose and our desire to live a life of meaningful contribution and service to others.

Being timeless also means practicing mindfulness and being present in the moment. It means taking the time to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the world around us, and to savor the small moments of joy and connection that make life worth living. It means being fully present in our conversations with others, and being mindful of the words we speak and the actions we take.

At the end of the day, being timeless is about living a life that is true to our values and beliefs. It means prioritizing what is important over what is urgent, and focusing on the things that will endure beyond this moment. It means choosing to live a life that is grounded in faith, hope, and love, and that reflects the character and heart of God.

Let us strive to be timeless in our approach to life, and to live in a way that brings glory to God and blesses those around us. Let us choose to live in a way that is grounded in truth, meaning, and purpose, and that reflects the eternal values and principles that guide our lives.

May we be people who live with a sense of awe and wonder, who see the beauty and goodness in the world around us, and who choose to live in a way that reflects the love and grace of God. And may we be people who strive to make a positive difference in the world, through our words, our actions, and our relationships, and who choose to live in a way that is truly timeless.

Faith Walk

God holds the keys to eternity and offers to open the door if we can phantom that simple truth. It’s the ability to trust in what promises and proves itself should be easy but it’s a substance that must be neutered. It takes experiences to build our faith, in which we are not privy of the timing prior to the test.

So what is faith? Faith is a dynamic concept that embodies a profound and steadfast trust in God. It is a key quality that allows us to overcome the barriers and challenges that we encounter in life, as we rely on God's unwavering love and guidance to guide us through life’s difficulties.

Faith is not just a belief in the existence of God, but also a deep trust in His character and His purposes. It is a force that enables us to transcend our fear and our doubts, and to move forward with confidence and courage. It is a force that empowers us to see beyond our limitations and to embrace the possibilities of God's plan and be ready to move with power and authority in accordance with His will.

One of the most important aspects of faith is that it is not merely a passive state of mind, but rather a dynamic and active force that requires our participation and engagement. Faith calls us to act with conviction and purpose, even when we face uncertainty and adversity. It calls us to take risks and to step out of our comfort zones in order to pursue the purpose that God has in the earth through us.

Faith is a process that develops over time, as we seek out the truth and the insights that will help us understand God and the workings of ourselves in relation to Him and the world. It grows and deepens as we engage in prayer, study, and dialogue with other believers, and as we undertake acts of service and compassion that reflect the love and justice of God.

At the heart of faith is a radical willingness to say "yes" to God and to commit ourselves fully to the calling and the mission to which He wants our lives to be used for. It is a willingness to trust in God's goodness and grace, even when we cannot see the answers or the outcomes that we desire.

Faith is not just an individual pursuit, but rather a communal and collective enterprise. It grows and thrives when we join together with others who share our vision and our values, and who are committed to living out the demands of this life of purpose. In community, we find the encouragement, support, and solidarity that we need to sustain our faith and to be faithful to our callings.

Ultimately, faith is about living in the light of God's love and grace, and about participating in the movement of the Holy Spirit that is transforming our lives and the world around us. It is about experiencing the power of God’s presence in our lives, and about being transformed by that presence in ways that enable us to live with greater freedom, joy, and purpose.

In this way, faith is not just a set of beliefs or practices, but a way of life that encompasses every aspect of our being. It is a way of being in the world that is characterized by a deep and abiding trust in the power and goodness of God, and by a radical commitment to the fulfillment of His purpose in our lives.

Faith is a substance that must be nurtured and developed, and that grows best when it is tested and challenged. It is through the experiences of life, and the trials and tribulations that we face, that our faith is strengthened and deepened, and that we come to understand the true nature of God’s love and grace.

So, as we seek to walk in faith, let us be ready to say "yes" to God’s call and to the purpose that He has for our lives. Let us be brave and bold in the face of uncertainty, and let us pursue God’s truth and God’s purpose, trusting in the power of His Spirit to guide and sustain us along the way.

It should now be clear that this spiritual walk is ruled by the testing of our faith. The trials we face quickly expose the reality of our beliefs. To conquer those trials it takes an eternal mind and heart, knowledge of the promises of God and a deep relationship both with the Creator and the people who walk in the ways of the Creator.

The reality of the difficulties we face will disguise themselves as insurmountable obstacles in our walk as if there is no way out. The truth of the matter is that they are the substance of our strength, intricately woven in the reality of our breakthroughs.

In the early days of the ministry of Christ, Jesus’ cousin John the Baptist was imprisoned and facing enough pressure that would force you to question your faith in anything you once believed. Jesus’ fellow partner in the ministry and the reason why Jesus was baptized would now one day be beheaded and murdered.

In this real situation of fear and anxiety, John reaches out to Jesus to see if he is real or if he is faking it like all the others. He wanted to see if everything he believed in was all for nothing or if he really helped start something beyond himself, something real in which he would be able to endure his current state.

Jesus’ response to him is beyond disbelief. Most would think he would say "Yes, it is me, Jesus, yo homie, your cousin. Man, trust me, it’s me, chill out, you got it." Or something similar. The response is what we should focus on because it speaks to the experience of the faith walk. Jesus says “Go…tell John the things which you hear and see: Blind eyes opened; the lame are walking; lepers are cleansed; the deaf are hearing, the dead have been raised; and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.”

His response is all about the reality of life’s experiences and that which is presented to them in reality. The experience denotes the presence and power of God, governing those spaces. The goal is to reveal that despite what the situation appears to be in front of him, the evidence of miraculous power that cannot be controlled by any one person is present.

And that the Kingdom of heaven is now present in the earth, to remind him that the veracity of God is beyond the circumstances before him. So then, when we read in Ephesians 6:12: “We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places,” then we know the relevance of the spiritual identity and power of God.

Jesus is reminding him that the truth regarding the faith walk is a matter of experience and a mindset of eternity in both the consequences of our decisions and the consequences of our decisions.

As the challenges, disappointments and terrors of our experience present themselves to us, it should be understood that life operates much like what we know about nature. The winter weather was the source of my greatest fear as a child and into adulthood. Winters in Detroit transform the landscape into a treacherous terrain filled with hidden dangers that one cannot escape without adjustments and extra efforts. To remain the same with your behavior and not compensate for the climate, then there is no reason for growth and expectations to meet in a large gathering.

We quickly learned as children that we would not be able to go outside and play with our friends in the neighborhood and would have to stay inside the house during a heavy snow. We had to adjust our habits and find new ways to cope with our environment.

In the same way, life’s challenges and difficulties require us to adjust our mindsets and behaviors, and to find new ways to cope with our environment. We must be willing to adapt to the realities of life and the realities of life are often challenging and disappointing.

As we grow and mature in our faith, we learn to incline our hearts by how the weather patterns of life suit us and that we must walk in God's call. This requires a relationship with God that is tested and proven. What I mean by provable faith is similar to what we have to be subjected to for approval of a license to get on the road and drive unsupervised.

You are tested and trained over a period of time with instruction that we are expected to listen to as truth. Then we are processed through a driving test to be issued a license and permission to operate without injury.

What is powerful about the baptism of Jesus and if we only had one chapter to read in the new testament, Matthew 3 and 4 would be a great place to start. If we examine the example set by Jesus then we find a robust example of this reality in the critical components in the truth of a baptized life.

When Jesus is baptized the first thing the spirit of God does is to lead him into the wilderness into an environment that could be considered unsafe and wild. A place of uncomfortability and vulnerability then to be proven. Notice that he is first called "Beloved."

Being called Beloved means that someone or something is greatly loved and cherished. It is a term of endearment often used to express deep emotions and affection. When we are called "Beloved" by God, it means that we are deeply loved and cherished by the Creator of the universe.

It means that we are valued and important, not because of what we have done or accomplished, but simply because we are His children. Being called Beloved means that we are worthy of love and affection, and that we can trust in the goodness and grace of God to guide us through life’s challenges and to bring us the best in our progress improving our life and love.

The first thing that we must remember is that the father calls us "beloved." Jesus, so loved the world that he was sent by the Father to be born to implement the principles of heaven and be an example for us. This example is what many of us attempt to overlook. It is in this example that we see the baptism and the events that follow that are so important.

So we find our lives mirror to Jesus’ example. In his case, he qualified for the baptism and all of heaven can rejoice. One line of scripture helps us here. "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased."

Meaning that nothing else matters. No government, no entity, no boundaries or limitations can separate us from the love of God and His plan for us. But among all of this, what we become familiar with are the tests. Test that Jesus also had to face as soon as he was baptized, he was tested and forced to do things that were the opposite of someone should do, while in a high pressure state and life or death situation.

As we carry out our faith as we love God in relationship and service, we must know that while this is all happening that we are constantly being proven and tested to form our lives without end. But we must know and love for the best of God that God knows. You may not recognize a giant step in your journey of faith but it becomes powerful that you walked through the proof and reached the right to call yourself a believer.

Creating a timeline of this arena of faith would be as followed: Affirmation of the great love of the Father, then we are baptized and initiated into His will, after that a wilderness experience whereby we face testing of our faith to prove our faith and refine our character to prepare us for ministry and be a witness.

Notice that in the high pressure and anxiety of Jesus testing in the wilderness that He was tempted but not defeated. Testing our faith is the only way to have strong faith. In that same way he was seeking to go around God devalues what was promised to each of us directly from God.

When this onerous walk of faith is complete then we are prepared for the work. The work will be difficult and challenging and to overcome it all we will be expected to grow closer and closer to God to walk in the power of our baptism and ministry. With this the final aspect of our walk through the method of Jesus tradition is that now we are ready to perform and carry out the will of God.

This is why Jesus dies at only 33. This reveals an eternal truth of life and that is that it is really all about the purpose of God and eternity. It is not necessarily about living to be extremely old or accomplishing a personal set of human expectations. It is about the time that is allotted to us to accomplish the will of the Father and bring His will to the earth.

Now for those who remain as I believe it to be the case of my life, I believe we are to live as an example of Jesus and then enter into public ministry, as an example. Now, public ministry appears to be Jesus' goal handled by his actions brought into the world. The public ministry is the result of the timeline we just discussed where he spends it all on these people with love.

It’s easy to talk and speak on things that are either too complex, about things we haven’t experienced yet, or it’s hard to communicate a serious message in a time where the threshold for what is serious is askew. This means people will need to hear this message in person in an intimate way, to embody the miracles that happen everyday that go unseen. You cannot or should not believe everything you hear and see on social media. We have to fight the culture wars of today, through our immediate integrity checks and this is done in the presence of God and the people of God daily.

It is our prayer for everyone to leave the time artificially inspired and motivated to love God and others through acts of service and operate in the presence of God. To bring their gifts and talents to the house of God and these distinct ministries and willful acts to the house of God for the community.

We will do everything that we can, to produce a people that will work to magnify the presence of God in the earth to win ahead through precedence and teach all generations the power of our faith and keys to unlock everything they need to be fulfilled in this lifetime and beyond.

What Matters for Real

As we walk in faith, we become the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing His love and compassion to those around us. Our faith becomes the main conduit between our earthly mission and God's will being done on earth. Through our faith, we can be vessels of hope, light, and transformation in a world that desperately needs it.

If we are not careful, life in today’s world can be a difficult and challenging place, filled with distractions, obligations, and pressures that can make it difficult to connect deeply with others and to live out a radical, God-centered ministry. In this context, it can be hard to know what matters most in life, and what we should be investing our time and our most precious resources into.

Radical ministry is about cultivating relationships that are meaningful and profound, and that help people to connect deeply with God and with each other. It is about creating spaces where people can come together to support and encourage each other, and to work together to serve and to bring God's love and grace into the world around them.

One of the most important aspects of radical ministry is the ability to create relationships that are grounded in a shared sense of purpose and mission. This requires a deep and abiding love for God and be committed to serving Him and living out the best in all relational situations. It also requires a willingness to be vulnerable and authentic with each other, and to be willing to journey together through life’s challenges and struggles.

As we pursue radical ministry, we can create spaces that are designed and with intention, to support and encourage people, to give them the tools and resources they need to grow and flourish. This might include programs and activities that offer opportunities for study, discussion, and service, as well as spaces for reflection, prayer, and worship. It might also include opportunities for mentoring, coaching, and spiritual direction, to help people discern their calling and to develop their gifts and talents that God has given to them.

Through our efforts to pursue radical ministry, we can build a community that is grounded in a deep and abiding sense of love, compassion, and justice. I believe this is reflective of an important set of foundational practices that reflect the heart of God. I believe there are five points of practice reflective of an ultimate expression of this truth. Those five points are Hospitality, Social Justice, Worship, Events and Radical Outcomes.

Radical hospitality involves creating spaces that are open, welcoming, and inclusive, where people can come as they are and be embraced with love and compassion. It involves creating a culture of hospitality that is grounded in a fearlessness love that values and respects all people, regardless of their background, beliefs, or circumstances.

Social justice involves working to create a more just and equitable community, where people have access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. This might involve working to address the root causes of poverty and inequality, and to advocate for policies and programs that promote fairness, equality and opportunity for all.

Worship involves creating spaces for worship and prayer that are spiritually moving, and that encourage people to connect deeply with God and with each other. It might involve a variety of practices and styles, from traditional liturgy to contemporary worship and that reflect the diversity of perspectives and experiences of the community that we serve. An occurrence of this is when we use the method of gospel mixology to create spiritual experiences through the combination of genres that opens the hearts and minds of people to really receive the Word of God.

Events involve offering a variety of programs and activities that provide opportunities for learning, growth, and service. This might include workshops, seminars, and conferences, as well as service projects and mission trips. These events offer opportunities for people to come together, to build relationships, and to experience a sense of purpose and service together and most importantly create practical solutions and systems that are engaging and intuitive for new converts and believers who want to rejoin the church. It is not our desire to have people rejoin our church but that they come into fellowship with the most High God.

Radical outcomes are the natural results of the first four points of practice. They are the outcomes that are produced when people are engaged in hospitality, social justice, worship, and events with a deep and abiding sense of purpose and commitment. These outcomes might include stronger relationships, a greater sense of connection and community, and a more just and equitable society.

Through the practice of radical ministry, we are able to help individuals develop the skills and dispositions they need to live out their faith in a robust and meaningful way. This might include cultivating compassion, empathy, and resilience, and developing a deep and abiding trust in God’s presence in their lives.

Ultimately, the goal of radical ministry is to help those we serve to become the best version of themselves, and to live out their lives in a way that reflects the love, grace, and justice of God and helps their communities grow better and stronger together.

Radical ministry is the path of purpose for each of us, and that this path is one that can be pursued in many different ways, depending on the unique context and circumstances of each individual and community. It is a path that requires courage, perseverance, and a deep sense of commitment to the mission of God in our local communities. It is a path that is not easy, but that is filled with joy, meaning, and purpose. It is a path that invites us to be truly and radically Christian, to live out our beliefs in a way that is authentic, compassionate, and just.

May we all be able to display a collective strength to be radical in our approaches and commit to this path, and to join together with others in the journey towards a more just and loving world. May we be guided by the light of Jesus Christ, and rest when needed to be sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit, as we recapture the harmony of rest, service and our relationships inside and outside of the house of God.

When we think about a radical approach and carrying it out there’s a need to include the dedicated time to plan to show up for the work more than the typical spaces of ministry. The mechanics of purposeful intent deliver outcomes mired in a consistent mindset to that desire.

So under this practice, we can actively seek out ways to create hope and adventurous outreach, and to be a light to those around us. We can commit to living out our faith in a way that is bold, courageous, and just, and to build relationships that are based on love, respect, and reciprocity.

Young adult ministries began to be a blessing in all kinds of ways to institute a will that people want to be included in and provide and to watch a community that is based on care for the others but also for one’s self. Reciprocity is measurable in its own unique way that isn’t a practice of someone breaking their back in order to measure their performance by how much they’ve poured into a ministry. Instead it exhibits a clear path of intentional give and take that produces the healthiest relationships that are fulfilling.

In a world where many are seeking the beauty and fruit of a community that seeks to exemplify the love of God, the reality is that he is seeking a people who will spiritually scale through acts of love and kindness, with the best intentions, so that the power of God can exist in the house of God and throughout.

If membership is consistent and growing as well as more members are coming because of the love and service and the framework that the community provides, it is to be celebrated. There will be no practices of guilt to inflate our gatherings, we simply want those who are all in with their time and negatively used their finances. Instead, their willingness to sacrifice by showing up will be met with their need so that power be evident and lived out in their own life. They will be given the needed attention and love so they don’t feel forced to perform or impress anyone but God.

This means we are constantly building systems to support this people and leadership structure where the requirements of leadership are specific and maintained since they are not made of people who are exhausted, but people who are strong, mature and have sufficient energy to share. It should not be a place for a new door for someone to recover from a place of collapse but for people who had time to recover and be restored.

The beauty of this is that several disciples and leaders will be grown and trained and led in a way that will mature their perspectives and the work will not fall apart out of the exhaustion and collapse from a small group of people. The thoughtfulness that this will take requires the intentionality of self-care, healthy boundaries and following what God is truly telling you to do. The will of God for your life will not have you living in burnout and out of balance.

When people are only present and available when it is convenient, or agreeable, then we can receive that as a truth but still hold up the trust and power of God to show a better way. The blessing of what is at stake is that we are going to accomplish something that must exist that is stronger, inevitable and powerfully, possible. God wants us to walk in reconciliation while rooted in the power of the Holy Spirit so that we can be witnesses then every church adopting a radical ministry will accomplish the will of the Father over time, to increase the presence of God in the earth.

A generation of disciples and ministers will be cultivated and ready to start families and relationships in a healthy way. Powerful teachers, and services will exist that can both lead experiences that are positive and measurable. The drums of life will be met with a live rhythm that keeps the mind in time with the ark of the covenant and the right path that leads to a life lived for Christ.

There are ways of knowing with certainty that the random shifts we see in culture movements give the appearance of power but are in fact a façade that can’t sustain or nurture a community. When you do ministry better with Godliness gifts at the center of your approach, the outcomes are natural consequences that provide future certainty and hope that wouldn’t exist without a mission and vision that is purposeful, valuing the lives of people above all else.

People who step into the house of God will be met in the ways of the original church where our heart’s vision was like the heart’s of Christ. Where the people support, serve and protect each other from harm and all manner of evil. We will know and display the mature ways of a family.

They will have confidence that our aim is to be a positive force, while understanding what love looks like without ever getting that close to someone who will harm the most holy part of themselves. Everyone, including ourselves will evaluate as the intelligent and honest truth in the spirit of holiness. The Bible tells us to “work out our own soul salvation with fear and trembling.” This is similar to our need to bridge introspective and collective relationships together at one time.

We will become a body that works together based on the reality of where we are in the moment, as well as in the space of our desire to grow with Christ and apply ourselves according to His word.

Therefore, we will serve our neighbor and act in ways that are morally fit for every goal we create. At our collective and individual best we then honor the Father through acts that further chase His will for our lives. At peace and providing peace to others because we are in alignment with His will and our relational commitments.

At first, be prepared to use much prayer and studying with an expectation of knowledge and the need to do this work together; and in the end you only have gained a small part of the experience of what it will truly take to create the blooming effect of pause on earth that says we were both happy and tired yet satisfied that healthy diplomacy was achieved. As time goes on, the meticulous dedication of this work will become more optionated and prominent and with more people we can scale our output and scope to the greatest possible outcome at the time.

Then there will be growth in faith to truly trust God for hopes that He gave in your youth, that you refused to forget, and careful quiet moments, we will remember again and witness our prayers of the past with time in mind and truth in our hearts.

What matters for real is the applicability and the values with forward-thinking as the container of a great ministry movement where the practical becomes the goal from intents only small and seemingly lofty at first.

What matters is that the Glory of God can be found on every level of our growing ministry and that the serenity of character is in the truth of what it means for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.

There is an ability that God has given us (the referred to as potential) that if crafted and applied with intentional change will turn out the kind of practical application that is both noteworthy and actionable in ways that will be recognized by the ones who have authority.

Our bodies should remember the fortitude developed by the nature of thinking in the mind, a bit ahead of our current problems, potential pitfalls and challenges that might display themselves along the way, and under the present vacuum of uncertainty.

What matters for real must be reflected in the principalities that God shows us in the approach of seeking Him first in all that we do. And in doing so, we together will be able to develop ourselves and discern our path for as far as we can see.

What matters most are that beginners can begin with joy and so can any of us dream a new beginning, and have the assistance of God to be with them as well as learners who have done this before them, our bodies will annotate a quickening of faith and then support this conviction of the urgency of time and move in the presence of God and His people.

This is what is meant by fulfilling God’s will be done on earth in our hearts and the benefit of a community based on love and service to each other. I speak this to remind the listener of the values that we must maintain as we move to this direction. We will be satisfied while careful and purposeful endurance lessons become the scaffolding of our new structures of growth.

We have to choose who is important to us because the alternative is wasteland and desert places devoid of the water and food we need to grow. We should now have a hunger and thirst for righteousness with the desire to change and draw closer to God like never before because all this can happen for us to be effective at every level of ministry and within our lives like an overflow that always allows our prayers to be answered to see the glory of God in our everyday lives.

We must learn to see what we thought were nuclear mistakes, begun by a weakness of the moment and reclaimed through the journey of your patience and the sweet mercy of God. The resulting test of our faith is the provisioning that our faith needed to employ for growth. You will be testified of by the results and the wholeness achieved because you did the work with God’s help and through your own merit.

This would look like a change of grace that meets us at our level because of our individual need to be tailored as unique by God so the spiritual engineering of our building and this pursuit of God selah.

You are never too far away to build again. You have not failed we often started what we couldn’t finish. As a result rebuilding and the work of growth and maturity is necessary. That is because the first trials don’t dethrone the ones who can face them while in their infancy.

Many of us don’t have the level of faith required to change but there is a type of order that God operates in. For there to be change there be will timetables of trials, priesthood and everyday consistency. This is natural because this sacred element in the movement requires a consistent measure of faith to be present and more powerful than you have the day before. Use this to keep going.

Eventually, the current climate of a terrible present will transition and little by little it will turn in your favor because in order to do what you must to fulfill God’s will your actions will begin to show up to show this. Someone will see something and give you what you need. You will pick what to do with that string next. You will be motivated by a stranger’s encouragement or love that will be strong and honest. This means grace has showed up as a solution. Then you will have what you least expect in that moment. You are as a result prepared to be your living witness while the Holy Spirt empowers you to become a radical in your thinking and your will be conformed to the change that has taken place and your resulting approach to your relationships, values, strategy and operate to act about how to do ministry in today’s world.

As a result we will become totally aware that magnitude of our portion not in fear or timid in approaching it. The conduit of power that is God will oversee the maturation of our evolution of the ministry to a greater degree of impact that is measurable and truly inspiring.

Radical ministry is not just about doing things differently and this is where so many get stuck. It is not about money or as charisma or power but it does require an overflowing expression of love and joy as a requirement to progress. Earlier I mentioned hospitality, justice, worship and events.

We have to start with the willingness of a few believers to get rid of the jealousy for what looks like more powerful over what is actually obtainable. Every body has a story and a time that for them is extremely special. And that there is a way for our ministry to be used in that framework. The spirit requires this.

We must believe that we are capable of doing incredible things and that we have the power to change the world. This belief is the foundation of radical ministry that is depending on the discipline of our witness, that is so solid, that one will ask and be nurtured to begin a relationship with God themselves.

We must be willing to work beyond what is easy and convenient and develop a life where mission work is accomplished with words and deeds. To give in to this work we must have refined and measured stamina that doesn’t deplete in absence of a real pressure of the expectation of culture. This kind of stamina rests in the presence of God and in the safety of healthy relationships.

We should never forget that every soul and every person of every age deserves this attention and depth of care when they need it. That for this to be a fact they are fed and encouraged and guided through the crisis and triumphs based on choosing God’s route for their ministry and relationship and career choices to the extent that we have the capacity to help.

So begin to prepare for the new workload and become appreciative of the support that is needed to carry out the work not a flexible kindness but a commitment from a team that we train and practice together. The kind of commitments allow love to set boundaries with a common goal. This we do so that the loads we carry can be better managed and pressures in life aren’t hidden, they are examined.

As a result, every community where our ministry is being carried out and grows should be strengthening itself in love and receive the catalyst of new growth in harmony with what they need through the specific nature of that place. But indeed this will be under the guard of a tested and unified leadership team and council who genuinely of love that place and seek God’s will for the friends and families they represent.

The desire to serve and serve often will grow and deepen and there will be a real reciprocal joy that everyone will begin to understand and believe in. The outcomes then will begin to show up in the kind of impact that people want to see with lives becoming more stable and careers begin to blossom that were only tiny seeds, before the force of love and community was present and transformative.

As a result of this practice those who engage in the work of ministry will be healthy and strong and full of enough energy to bring everything they have and will see their own relationships becoming more firm, the days become more manageable and their wellness will be protected and deepened. This makes the experience mutually beneficial. You aren’t wasting your time but getting stronger.

Ultimately, the rewards of radical ministry are not just in the personal growth and transformation that we experience, but also in the impact that we have on the lives of those around us. We are able to bring hope, healing, and transformation to individuals, families, and communities, and to be a part of God’s mission to bring God's will to earth as it is in heaven.

At its core, radical ministry is about recognizing the real-world needs around us and responding with love, compassion, and service. It is about creating spaces where people can come together to support and encourage each other, to grow in faith and love, and to serve and make a difference in the world around us. As we embrace this path, we can make a meaningful impact and show the love of Christ in tangible ways.
