Listen. I do have an education. A bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and a MBA with a specialty in Health Services but the Lord warned me about using my old methods in the Kingdom once I stepped into running a ministry.

 

His idea of “specialty in health services,” well, I had no idea it would end up being one of the spiritual kind.

 

In this life with Jesus you won’t find a well drafted 5-year pro forma, a 3 year projected budget, or anything else like that.

 

If you ask me what’s happening in the next year, I’ll tell you that I’ll let you know when He lets me know.

 

But one thing I do know is it’s gonna require the fire and power of the Holy Spirit. All the man-made stuff is currently set to burn.

 

My old business meetings have turned to prayer meetings and we don’t take a majority vote around here on what God has said.

 

Every idol must be torn down and every false altar destroyed.

 

I don’t stress anymore by double checking the checkbook when He gives a directive, we know that obedience will be backed by provision, even if we find we wait a bit for it to come in.

 

There must be a full-on commitment to tending His sheep or He will go elsewhere.

 

End of story.

 

I don’t run marketing plans, although I’m not opposed to them if He directs you. However, I am waiting for that divine finger to write on the wall.

 

I realize this might seem haphazard to some of you but I’d like to give you a true glimpse of what I’ve learned about life keeping in step with the Spirit.

 

If you can figure it all out, it’s likely not God at all. If every “t” is crossed and “I” dotted…again…likely some human will going on there instead of God’s will.

 

Faith requires a supernatural trust and stretching that won’t usually work on paper.

 

Frankly if you can get the glory….

Nahhh….it ain’t God.

 

It’s when there’s no funds, no promotion, and no plan B that God sets Himself up for a massive WOW factor that you and everybody else knows you had nothing to do with….that’ll be a Jesus move for sure.

 

We had best prepare our hearts now for this kind of life in Jesus. For it is where the new wine is gonna pour…

 

If you need it all figured out for you in advance, it’s gonna be a bit painful for you, you know.

 

I remember the day He made me take my worship set list and toss it into the audience. It’s been a wild ride ever since.

 

But if you can look at it as a joy-filled adventure with the Holy Ghost….wooohoooo….you’re gonna love it.

It is indeed where freedom reigns.

 

So for all those desiring a new chapter with Christ in this season.

 

Here comes the NEXT CHAPTER for the body of Christ.

 

You’ll find it laid out plainly in the Book of Acts.
