Be Ye Encouraged !
Nothing ever goes waste.  Every thought, word, and deed informally or in a formal Sermon or Scripture Lesson, based in Pure Love and Truth shall, by definition, reach the hearts of the Brethren...

Persons may not voice or express it; however, scattering the seeds of unconditional Divine Love and Sanctity eventually falls on fertile soil.  Fellow beings may not know or see it themselves - yet the Word based in Holiness and Truth inevitably takes root in the Heart. 

Full Trust and Surrender to God:  Taking the Youth beyond the Nursery Level

When we surrender to God and Live in His Will, we ask for nothing beyond God's Will be Done and a pure, open, and loving heart.  Only, dear Lord, to be absorbed in You, to be filled with You, to do only Thy Will . . .

  

Be Still

and Know

that I am God.

Psalm 46:10


We will know what God’s Word means for us when we are still before Him and relinquish our own little will and sets of needs, wants, and desires and Totally Fully allow the Divine to work in and through us.  We are desireless in that All is surrendered to His Will. 

We let go, even of the corner of the "security blanket" we may still be gripping, and lay ourselves open in heart, mind, body, and soul to His Work in us.  No (or minimal) particular list of deeds, healings, seeking for "rewards" on Earth or Heaven, people to show up, people to go...  NOTHING.  NOTHING.  We simply dwell in His presence in Love.  Love seeks nothing, wants nothing.  It is not a bargain in the marketplace.  In smooth times, in crisis times, in All Times, submit fully to God's Will.  Drop the "I," "me" that may start to well up and simply Live in His Grace. 

(Note that, not to be taken out of context, this all does not mean suspending Prayers for our brethren.  We, of course, still hold them all in our heart of hearts and keep them in Prayer that God's Will be Done for them and in their every breath and moment of life.)


The only real prayer in His Perfect Grace is Lord, Thy Will Be Done, in me, in all of us.  Amen.

Take Great Care -  do not slip un-noticed into becoming a "cardboard minister."  Beware of starting to use "stock phrases" and having "stock scripture" at hand for different circumstances.  LET THE HOLY SPIRIT WORK IN AND THROUGH YOU.  Know that there is a huge difference between being a sermonizer and being a minister--pastoring as a calling.  Go into retreat diving deep into the Word, Solitude, Prayer, as well as Divine Fellowship for three to four weeks per year if at all possible.  And if you find yourself drifting into stock-phrases, stock-scripture, or robotic automatic-pilot pastoring, take at least a month (or more) to go Up to the Mountain Top with the Holy Spirit - and then return and be a Divine Refuge in the storm for all thy Brethren.  Love One Another.  Love One Another, submitting fully to the Will of God. 

This site exists to be a source of sustinance and encouragement. It allows us to reach those who minister to one another.

Please use this site as a resource for deepening and broadening your dive into the Gospel. We look forward to hearing from you and answering any questions you might have.

 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 

Every single one of us can become a Refuge in the storm for people,
no matter where He has planted you in this season and time of life . . .
