LOOKING AHEAD…
Here we are again ! Another one down and 2009 starting in just over 24 hours . Certainly wish and pray for a blessed and happy New Year for all our readers and friends. Change ,as ever ,is in the wind . Bec and Dave and the girls leave for Spain in 12 days . They will help us establish a g42 Leadership Training Center near Malaga in the South of Spain . We commence ,deo volente ,2 March . I`m anticipating being there the majority of my time . If you know of people who are sold out but need and want further discipleship and mentoring ,please get in touch . We plan and await God`s suddenlies and surprises ! And either way ,we`re fine ! The World Race continues to grow quickly and a generation is stirring..
As always ,we don`t know what the year will bring . Economically ,politically and socially we have to say that our World is well and truly messed up . Systems are broken and bankrupt and people are very scared . I do believe that this is a great opportunity for the Kingdom of God on the planet ,if we will rise up ,demonstrate integrity ,declare a viable alternative ,remind each other of true values and walk humbly before our God . As nearly all foundations are shaken and many smashed ,there is a palpable hunger for security and purpose . What`s it all about Alfie?
On the day that we remembered 20 years in USA (16 Dec),one of my daily readings
was:“Now ,go lead the people to the place I spoke of..”( Exodus 32:34) This was spoken to Moses by God in circumstances that can only be described as dire and abjectly disappointing amid open rebellion and idolatry . Point is ,advancing and moving on is absolutely necessary and not an option ,despite what your eyes are seeing and you heart may be feeling .
On my birthday (19 Dec) my reading was:'Increase &possess the land…”( Deut 8:1) No mention of circumstances ,resources ,obstacles or feelings . What was the catch ?? Only this:remember that God is God ,and obey what He says . Simple ,right ?
I have my marching orders for 2009 . Lead what I have been given by the Lord to lead ;and move into greater inheritance and harvest ,as we increase and possess.
For you Dear Friend:do not let any circumstance dictate the course of your decisions and actions this year ,find your courage and move forward . I mean ,if you can`t do anything else ,at least fall forward ! Don`t sit and die !
And as you trust God and obey Him ,move from surviving to thriving . Do what He`s asked you to do . Your giants are bread for you…
