What The Spirit is Saying to the Churches

planetoftheweb@gmail.com — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 14:20:05 -0500

What the Spirit Is Saying to the Churches
"Let all who can hear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. Revelation 3:13 (TLB)

What the Spirit Is Saying to the Churches by Henry Blackaby, is a small(89 pages) book that tells the true story what God did in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada through a small church. It describes the way a church of ten discouraged people were transformed by the Holy Spirit into a church of people who had an overwhelming impact in their world. This book is about what can happen when a church listen’s to what the Spirit is saying to them.
Last fall the church staff began meeting monthly to study What the Spirit Is Saying to the Churches by Henry Blackaby. As a part of this ongoing study (we are only on chapter 4) the staff has begun to ask “What is the Spirit saying to DLBC?” The initial result of our study and prayer is GPS (God’s Positioning System – Giving, Praying, Serving).
Recently I challenged our small group leaders to purchase and read What the Spirit is Saying to the Churches. Now I’m challenging our church to do the same. I am “double-dog-daring” each of us to purchase and read this book. But I don’t want us to just read it and be done, rather, I want us to read it and then begin to ask the question, “Lord, what are you saying to me and to my church?” I strongly believe God is waiting on us, the church at Deltona Lakes, to ask such a question and to ask it in a way that means we will do what HE says.
The following is an excerpt from What the Spirit Is Saying to the Churches by Henry Blackaby.
God has been stirring His people. His people today have heard Him give this charge: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
Such an assignment seems impossible to achieve, and so it is with men. But with God it is possible–and so the task and calling remain before us, confronting us all. Each person and church must respond.
When Jesus gave the disciples His assignment to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, He added this promise: “And lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). God’s call is not a program, but a Person to be followed, a Person who has given His personal command to be obeyed. And as we obey, He will then accomplish His purposed through us and give every person in our world an opportunity to hear the gospel.

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there. 2 Chronicles 7:14-18 (NIV)
I have 2 prayers:
1. May God grant that the people of Deltona, Florida: hear Him, believe Him, obey Him, adjust our lives to Him, and fully experience Him every day until Christ returns.
2. May the church at Deltona Lakes use our ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to us!

To purchase a copy of What the Spirit Is Saying to the Churches by Henry Blackaby, contact Brenda Gilmore in the church office. The cost of the book is $8.

EIGHT STEPS TO GETTING OUT OF DEBT

planetoftheweb@gmail.com — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:24:35 -0500

EIGHT STEPS TO GETTING OUT OF DEBT PART 1
There’s no doubt personal debt has played a key role in the current financial crisis. Debt levels have been climbing for several decades. People are spending a $1.25 for every $1 they make. Debt isn’t just impacting our church’s pews though. It’s impacting the pulpits as well. Many ministries are sunk because pastors are so burdened by debt they leave the ministry for more profitable work. Debt is a problem we can’t ignore any longer. But how do we get out from under it? We’ve got to commit to these eight Biblical steps for Financial Freedom. For the next several weeks we will examine these.
1. Commit to becoming debt free now. This is the most difficult step of all, but it’s also the most important. You’ve got to make a commitment to do this. It’s absolutely crucial. Paying off debt is something God blesses. The Bible says in Psalm 37: “The wicked borrow and do not repay…” (v. 21 NIV). God does not bless the wicked.
That means you can’t take the easy way out and file bankruptcy in order to beat people out of debt. Sure, bankruptcy is legal. And some types of bankruptcy allow you to reorganize in order to pay off debt. However, some types of bankruptcy are designed to get out of obligations. They may be legal, but that doesn’t make it moral. It’s not moral to stiff somebody out of debt. God says if you have a debt, you are to pay it off. This is tough to preach in these difficult days. Some think it’s their only option. We need to make this important commitment to pay our debts.
Nobody just drifts out of debt. You’ve got to be intentional and start with a commitment. We all want to be out of debt. But we have to do what it takes to do that. It isn’t easy. It takes discipline. It takes perseverance. But it’s also the right thing to do.

2. Start paying God and yourself first. If you want to get out of debt, you’ve got to start tithing 10 percent (paying God) and saving 10 percent (paying yourself). People in debt will balk at this. They don’t understand how tithing and saving will help get them out of debt. But if you wait until you pay off all your bills, you will never save and you will never tithe.
When we’re in debt, we need God’s help. That means we need to do it God’s way. The fact is, whatever area we want God to bless, we have to put him first in. You want God to bless your finances? You better put him first in your finances. Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and all these other things will be added to you.”

Hard Times May Lead to Hidden Talents

planetoftheweb@gmail.com — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:55:56 -0500

HARD TIMES MAY LEAD TO HIDDEN TALENTS
John James Audubon, the famous bird artist, discovered his true potential because of life’s hardships. His life story is one of triumph over adversity.
Audubon was born in Haiti. He was the illegitimate son of a French sea captain and his French mistress. He was sent to America in 1803 to escape conscription (being drafted) into Emperor Napoleon’s army. As an adult, Audubon spent more than a decade in business, setting up a dry-goods store in Henderson, Kentucky. While in Kentucky, his wife gave birth to two sons. The couple also had a daughter who died in infancy. Audubon enjoyed a successful life as a merchant and continued to enjoy his hobby of drawing and studying birds. In 1819, hard times hit again for Audubon when an economic downturn found him bankrupt and in jail (in those days people were jailed for bankruptcy). Hard times forced Audubon to take what was a hobby and convert it to a full-time career. Their economic situation caused Audubon’s wife to seek employment. As a result, she discovered her love of teaching.
Our community is going through a financially difficult time right now. People are out of work or struggling because of reduced pay. What we see as problems and pain is often God’s intervention in our lives. Sometimes he is calling us to trust HIM (Ex. 14:21), sometimes HE is calling on us to return to HIM (1 Sam. 7:3), and sometimes HE is improving us (Ps.66:10). Whatever the case, God is available to overcome what we see as problems, often by exposing a talent we never realized we had. Note God’s interaction with Moses at the burning bush:
Moses said to the LORD, "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue." The LORD said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD? Exodus 4:10-11 (NIV)
Not every one of us will discover we have a hidden talent as a creative genius. However, difficult times often cause us to open our hearts and minds to those talents we have long ignored. God’s plan for our lives is not always readily apparent to us, but he will always walk beside us, guiding us. Begin to pray that God would send out workers to the various ministries at DLBC. But pray too for GOD to reveal to you the “hidden talent” HE has given you and how to employ that talent at DLBC.
