Holy Fire...Is it Just for Moses?

Unconventional Ministry

 
What is unconventional ministry?
 

I heard so clearly the Lord say to me, “I have called you to an unconventional ministry.”

I have pondered this in my heart now for years and it has been burning in my soul over these last few months. Burning like a red hot coal in the middle of my chest.
Only since these last few weeks have I even begun to remotely understand in the least what the Lord has in mind.

The odd thing about it all is that when I first heard the Lord use those words, “Unconventional ministry” I wasn't actually excited about what I “thought” He had in mind.
Then when I began to "think about it more" and ponder what the Lord meant by “unconventional” I began to dread the idea.
 However, now that I have spent time listening to Him explain it to me [years] through prayer and His Word and example; and believe I have a more realistic view of what He has in mind;
I am more excited than ever at the idea of fulfilling the destiny the Lord has for me.

So, what is this "unconventional ministry" I am talking about?

Simple…..Ministry the way Jesus did it.

Luke 9:23 

 ²³ Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me."

John 5:19 

 ¹⁹ Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does."

 

1) It may, [probably will] cause a few waves in the religious orders of the current day; 

[thus the “unconventional"]

2) It will be ministry moved by the Spirit of God;

3) It will be ministry full of the Love of God; 

4) It will be ministry based outside of the four walls of the church.

5) It will be a ministry that regardless of what other may think or say stays true to what the Lord says.
because;

"Obedience is better than sacrifice."

1 Samuel 15:22 

 ²² But Samuel replied:
   “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
   as much as in obeying the LORD?
To obey is better than sacrifice, 

   and to heed is better than the fat of rams. "


Has God called YOU to step out of YOUR COMFORT ZONE to serve Him in an unconventional way?


It's really not that difficult...just ask yourself ~


What would Jesus do?


and

Do it.

The battle line is drawn....                                                                       Chosen ones are being called. 

           

        

The tension of impending

battle is in the air

                                          God's watchmen on high alert.

Are you ready?

No time to be letting your guard down, for laziness or sleep. The oil in your lamps must be kept full at this hour.

Morning and evening on your knees. The King is coming and we are to be ready. The enemy knows his time is short and will stop at nothing less than death to the saints.

Are you ready?

Put on the full armor of God.....Be watchful...Stand firm in your faith....and BE READY.

Have you ever..........?

Do you ever just....stop.....and  listen to the world around you?

Do you ever just pick something from the world around you and focus on that one thing and just wonder how it came to be?

Do you ever sneak out sit in the quiet of the night when everyone else is asleep and just sit quietly by yourself, waiting not saying a word...no music...no prayers...just quiet....waiting on God?

I have.

It is amazing.

I have been doing it allot lately. I mean I have always done it, through out my life time, but here lately, I have been doing it even more so. As I go through my day at work for no apparent reason I will just stop what I am doing and .....listen...to what is going on around me. I mean  intently listen.

It is as if I have become acutely aware of people and things around me in a whole new way.

And my life?

That as well has become less important in a odd type of way. One I can't rightly

 explain. I am more and more aware of my need to invest my time and effort into things that will benefit me eternally, myself as well as others.
Every waking moment....literally...I am thinking about the next moment I will have free to meet with the Master....and ultimately...the day He will return to earth as King....or if it be his will I should meet him first in Heaven.

I am so in love with Yeshua.

Warm, Soft, Strong;

His arms hold me close.

Tenderness, Peace, Love;

He speaks with his eyes.

Together in silence;

Face to face at last.

Tears of joy shed together;

No memory of my past.

A love to die for;

A death to live for;

The two become one.

My Lord and me;

Heaven Awaits

The Man Whose Never Been

    

          

               THE MAN WHO'S NEVER BEEN               

People wonder what's come over me.
The change they can't seem to see.
Belongs to the love of my life.
  The man ~ who gave his life for me.

They make statements, causing such a fuss.
 They say, "This man is nothing more than dust."
They say I'm living fantasy with a man who's never been.
 With a laugh they ask me, time and time again,
"How can a man give his life, and yet you say he lives within?"

***
“Father, why can't they see?  Father, what's come over me?
  The beauty of your love ~ The grace that flows from your son.
  And me ~
 You have chosen me ~ to be your bride to be ~
 For all eternity ~ for all the world to see ~ for all the world to see.
Father, why can't they see?
 Father, how very real you are to me?”

“Some day, before too long, cause them to see they're wrong.
 Stir them, before it's too late.
 Father, save them from their horror filled fate.
Father, why can't they see?
 Father, why won't they see?”
***

People may wonder what's come over me.
  Soon, very soon all the world will see.
That this change is for real ~
That the love that I feel ~ has a purpose,
  Has a meaning,
Has a man, who is real, a man who can feel,
He gave his life ~ for me.
