Playing Catch Up!

Well as most of you know life can get somewhat crazy! That is most definitely the case with me over here in NZ. I apologize for not giving updates! Some have received my email updates a bit ago but I apologize for not updating my blog. With the mix of conferences, meetings, the internship, family, friends, soccer and now work, life has been awesomely busy! Also our spotty internet here at the house has not helped either! Anyway, God is so good and faithful as always. In this blog post I want to just give you an update of what is happening, and what God has been teaching me as of late. Also I'll be posting again shortly about a few different encounters with heaven, and heavenly beings that have happened just in the last week or so! So stay posted for that update!

Anyway, just recently God has really been teaching me about fathering, through Jason, the other interns, and just by being in His presence. It is crazy to see, and realize that the root of so many problems in society come back to the lack of fathering. Its so apparent. Just by looking at the statistics for broken homes, you can see why so many kids do drugs, drink, smoke, give way too much to the opposite sex and really have a lack of direction. Often it stems from the lack of a strong father. Our God is the ultimate father and He is the perfect model to base how we father off of. If males understood and thought in a way, where they would one day shape the paradigms and perceptions of their natural kids and spiritual kids, males would act so much different. Why do you think the Bible has all the geneologys going back to Adam? Its because it's all about passing an inheritance, in the natural but also spiritually, from the father to the son. God is eternal. In other words He is outside of time. So are we. Our spirits are eternal, making them outside of time with God. Did you know youre an eternal being? Did you know God made you a spirit being with a soul and a body??? Haha that's another story. Anyway, God is eternal and outside of time. So He does not just see us when He looks at us. He sees us, but also the generations behind us, and in front of us. So if we are to have a mind like Christs, we should start seeing, and thinking how He does. That would mean we wouldn't be living our lives for ourselves, but instead for the generations. Through this revelation I have been changing the way I think. Especially when it comes to my own sin, but also the iniquities that are passed down through the generations. What am I doing now to help the generations that will come from me. Jesus died for our sins but also all our iniquities, which are sins that are literally passed down from father to son. So with this revelation I have been repenting and going through a process of asking for forgiveness for the iniquities in my family. Why you ask? So I don't pass it down to my kids. The Bible talks about working out your salvation with fear and trembling. A fear of God and a trembling, or shaking of the sin and things in your soul that are not of God. If I have a mind like Christs then I will think of my kids, and their kids. Did you know that everyone's deepest desire is to have the approval and affection of their natural father? It's because we literally come from that person. I am a part of my father. Yes I come from mom's womb, but that seed, which is now me, started in dad. It is amazing the shaping force a father can be. Look at David in the Bible. He left an incredible inheritance for Solomon. And what happened with Solomon? The inheritance was stepped into and it grew to a place where no one could compare their own with.  You see the natural blessings, but you also see the spiritual blessing that was passed from David to Solomon. Solomon walked in wisdom that no other man had. And that wisdom produced billions of assets physically. How was Solomon able to come into all of that? Because David had passed along a generational blessing, but He had also literally prepared a way spiritually for his seed. He dealt with his heart and walked closely to the Lord.

This topic is so vital for not just the Christians but everyone. Honestly I am really excited to be a father. The revelation I have received from the Lord is awesome! It's vital. The best part is, I learn to be a father from spending time with the Father. It is amazing to sit in the presence of a Dad who's walls or guards are already down, where He is in a posture of vulnerability, ready for relationship, ready for intimacy and transparency. A Dad who wants to speak to us, give us advice, speak truth, one who is stern at the right times, but comes out of a place of love and not condemnation. A Dad who wants to hear our heart, allows His kids to share the cares they have, the worries they have, and ultimately a Dad who wants to just be in our presence more than anything. Did you know God longs our presence more than we long His presence? That's the kind of dad I want to be. He is the Father I want to mimic and gain understanding from. The awesome thing is the more we spend time in His presence the more we are changed into His likeness, the more we become who we really are. I could go on and on but I think you get the idea!

Anyway, blessings to everyone! I really miss everyone back home! Would love to hear from everyone. I hear its quite a mild summer over there! The winter here is mild. Just had a decent size snow which apparently is big for Chch! It was fun playing in snow in July!!! So yes! Bless you all! Would also appreciate any support you guys can offer. Still believing God for funding! He has been so faithful. I am working now to help out with the year, which has changed my internship a considerable amount, but I am just so blessed to even be where God has me! So please! Pray for me and ask the Lord what He would have you give. Top right of the page...click that "Donate" button! Love you all! Also thank you so much to those who have traded into me this year. Just know you are literally trading into blessings, revelations, and understanding that can only be brought by the Spirit!
