A Word from Papa...
So many people are working at their jobs out of duty, yet they claim they are doing this because they love their family. Part of this is true, but they also have believed a lie that it is their lot in life and that I(Papa) really don’t desire that they truly enjoy doing what they are made to do in this life...

Doctor! Doctor!!
Doctor the men! Bring them in by the droves to the truth of the Great Physician. I am more willing to heal men than you know. Men are the core foundation of the earth. Many are being tossed and thrown to the wayside by themselves, by women, and the public in general... "And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has
led you in the wilderness (desert) these forty years, that he might humble you, testing you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not." - Deut. 8:2. The dry times, those painful seasons of barrenness, are... .Making the most of time available is critical if we are to become renowned in the kingdom. Great people make time; good people find time; mediocre people waste time. Some people’s use of time borders on the criminal. It is a resource more important than money. Saying “no” so that our “yes” becomes more significant is vital to our lifestyle.
Focus determines our level of power and influence. Whatever has the capacity to keep our attention has influence over us... "Some people just won't come to the place you're desiring to ascend to in your spiritual walk and hunger for Me. Allow yourself to be ok with that. Don't reject them, just accept that it's a part of the growth process. It's like a caterpillar shedding its skin to grow. What was once loose and fitting, is now tight and straining. Guess what? You've grown. Let it go and continue to pursue Me higher! The joy will return as you find new friends, just up ahead of you...They are ascending to the places you want to go. Continue to devour the revelation of who you are in Me! I'm transforming you! Rest in Me and allow the Metamorphosis to take place. You said you wanted to "fly" didn't you?" -Papa The past few months I have been stretched into new places with Him. Expansion is a time to be treasured and monopolised. It certainly left me relying on new levels of grace and stripped me of self-dependancy...
Its Symptoms, Causes, and Remedies, Including Options For Potential Codependents To all appearances Saul was special: chosen by God to lead a nation, anointed, publicly endorsed by God and the leading prophet of his time, divinely led, humble, nonassertive, and had a kingly appearance. Even his early days as king reflected God’s favor. He was a success. Yet, incredibly, the same man developed an “above the law” mentality and a knack for denial and self-justification when challenged by God’s prophet. Saul then began a nosedive into anxiety, paranoia, and depression. Jealousy consumed him as one of his servants, David, began to share in the limelight. Although Saul knew David was a dedicated servant who would lay down his life for him, his jealousy raged, driven by an evil spirit. Scripture records Saul’s relentless plots to kill David, to recruit others as assassins, and to even use his own daughters (at the expense of their hearts) as unwitting accomplices. In his paranoia he perceived his own advisors and his son Jonathan as disloyal, even threatening to kill Jonathan. Such was his delusion that he pronounced a blessing in God’s name on a man who revealed David’s hiding place. Saul’s life ended miserably after consulting a medium. Never was he able to bring himself to say, “I repent.” Sadly, men of God with dark sides are not limited to Old Testament times. Paul had his troubles with envious preachers in Rome (Philippians 1:15–18 NASB);1 paranoid Diotrephes forbade his congregation to associate with John (3 John 9). Even to this day the ranks of godly shepherds have also contained some who have wounded the sheep. Like Saul, many enter ministry humbly and sincerely, but something snaps, triggering the dark side lurking within. I want to explore the symptoms, causes, and remedies for the Saul Syndrome and explore options for potential codependents. Much like a family secret no one wants to talk about... .What you call the church determines how you will relate to it. Some of the newer terms we have used to market the local church, and even solicit involvement and participation are the use of the common term “team.” It gets printed on t-shirts, banners and baseball caps, whatever necessary to both foster morale and to esteem cooperation, it seems a “team” spirit works thematically for a missions project, an evangelistic endeavor or even an annual call to practical service.
But when we begin to call ourselves a team and not a family, too much shifts, and often too much is lost. A team is a group of people banded together for the express purpose of achievement, winning a game, accomplishing a goal, or completing a project. The Chargers are a team, so are the marines, and United Airlines. A team usually has a coach, an owner, and of course players, all trained to accomplish a task. If the right guard keeps missing blocks, the coach is obligated to the owner and the other team members to bench him and even eventually replace or trade him. Sometimes when churches operate as teams... Talk it Out Before You Say, “I Do”PRE-MARRIAGE | By Julie Ferwerda
QUESTIONS YOU MiGHT NOT HAVE TALKED ABOUT... You’re thinking about spending the rest of your life with that special person. But do you really know them as well as you think? Are there areas you need to know about (or they need to know about you) that you haven’t discussed? The best time to get down to the nitty-gritty with each other is before you say, “I do.” You need to know what to expect after the wedding day, and to decide if you really want to spend the rest of your life with this person the way they are now. Chances are they (and you) won’t change that much, so if you really want to know who you are agreeing to love, work through these questions together. There’s no hurry — take all the time you need. But there’s one rule. You must be completely, gut-wrenchingly honest! If you misrepresent yourself, they will remember. Click on the link below to find an awesome list of questions to ask each other.... How well do you really know them? Put your knowledge to the test! It's worth it!

I (Papa) am always adding to you like the nacre that makes the pearl. I am not pointing out your flaws and setbacks. I am covering them and renewing you. I am focused on what I am adding to you. I am forming you into My image. The more you abide, the more you become, just like a pearl. Stop looking at what “you” need to change... |
