Hi folks:
Last week our Tuesday night meeting went well here. I thought I wrote
about it but one of those recent blank emails went out. I am so sorry.
It was a very intimate time with both the spirit of the Lord and one
another. Things are starting to get deeper relationally here. People
are starting to "dive" into one another's lives a little more.
Relationship is one of the building blocks of the Christian community.
It is what the world is looking for, as well. If you are looking for
some "deeper relationships" then perhaps this can be a place for you.
One of the things I am noticing is people being exposed to love is
bringing two sides out. One side is almost "will you love me when I am
not so lovable" and the other is "this what I have been waiting for."
What's weird is most of us do not know how to accept the one side or
the other very well. It has revealed a clear dichotomy in my thinking
over how did the church handle "bad behavior." I know what the
traditional side of things has looked like, but I wanted to examine it
afresh. One of the things I came to believe is that we the "church"
have to provide a safe place for everyone. So, if you really had a BAD
day and did a lot of not so wonderful things, you "force" us into a
position of love and how to approach you. One is we will never want to
be a place of embarrassment for you. So, I will believe the same
spirit that got you here to other believers can quicken you as to what
is wrong. We do not have to "expose" your sin. You on the other hand
have a biblical responsibility to confess your sin to another that you
might be healed. (Is that one of the reasons so many are sick? Oh
yeah-And repentance brings times of refreshing. Not feeling
refreshed...) We need to pray for you if it is not a sin unto death.
We need to approach you in meekness less we encounter the same sin.
You have a biblical response to make things right before your worship
before you bring your "gift" to the altar. I know about the 1-2-3-out
the door approach to confronting sin that the bible outlines. I am in
the middle of one with someone right now. I have approached them and
wait for their response. Have you ever looked at how that really
works? Interesting study. We as a body of believers have a
responsibility to love. So many are angry that I encounter every day.
Anger takes away our love, our energy, our health. What if we purpose
to be the ones that s-l-o-w down the pace? That love can prevail. Each
one who is fighting for finance, there is a lot being said about it.
(I am meditating on the word below.) Tina and I are moving to this
place. Just 5 minutes ago I received a call from a 90 year old prayer
warrior. He said "Lee-I am coming to visit you. I need to talk to you.
Are you OK? What is going on in Springfield. You have been on my heart
for 2 weeks.") In the past I have seen people quake at his prayer. I
have seen oil puddle up in his hands. But I have not seen him or
talked to him for over 3 years. He just disappeared. Now he wants to
come here to talk.
The last few weeks some awfully incredible things have happened here
in the community. Where can someone buy a 50,000 square foot building
for 18K? Just 2 weeks ago it happened. Some friends of mine bought
this large place and asked me to walk through it with them. Today I
have a meeting with a eastern unbeliever. He has written me to get
together. October this year can be the counter action to the years of
the devil and his halloween. This weekend we saw a witch "bound" tree
in a yard. Some of us believe that is prophetic here in Springfield.
Practical-Anyone up to bringing some worship together tomorrow night?
Last week was wonderful. Let me know.
