Open the eyes of our heart, L-rd

Are we trapped in a form of Christianity that it not real? In a sense, we have to be taken out of the mundane life of earth and taken to a spiritual orbit before we can see. As we see what is taking place inside of us that is being magnifies because we are to see more each day with the eyes of our heart as we begun to set our hearts on things above instead of the things on this earth. this is what begins to open the eyes of our heart, our spiritual eyes.

Many are called, but few are chosen. Not many go on to make their calling and election sure. We are also being opened to the extent of the spiritual real. All over the body of the Messiah right now there are there are many on-ramps that people are beginning to find that will lead them, you may be ahead of them in time, but that is so you can become servants who can help them.

Most of the church world has been built more with modern advertising techniques than with the substance and power of the kingdom. Almost all people now, including Christians, have been conditioned to respond more to hype than truth. You can build the biggest churches and the biggest ministries with good marketing, but is the L-rd in them? Can you find Him there?

One of the main things we must learn today is to see further, deeper, and wider than we have seen before, or we will continue to miss the L-rd and the great opportunities He's given to this generation.

Some churches are only about the Spirit, some only about the Word and yet some are just fellowship groups, but remember the Word came first then the Spirit. We cannot think of ourselves as better than any other, or we will fall.  The church drifted from its course for most of the church age. This began when G-d's people started worshiping the temple of the L-rd more than the L-rd of the temple. Some  started worshiping individual truths more than the Truth Himself. Regardless of what kind of church we are a part of, we will suffer shipwreck IF we start esteeming our group, our church, as more important than others who are different from us.

We cannot think of ourselves as better or more important than others, but as servants of those who may not have had our experience. If we don't do this, we too will stumble and drift from our course, become proud of the grace we have been given and pass it on.

We are warned about the 'false brethren.' The wheat and tares are mixed together now and will not be separated until the end. They will look alike until both have matured. Only then will the difference really be seen.

The main purpose of the true church is to be the temple of the L-rd, seeing men and women as equal in His work that He had called them to. The main thin we should look for is the presence of the L-rd in them. It is one thing to be in a congregation where thee is good teaching, worship, and ministry, but it is something else when you feel the L-rd moving among people, and where He is the true focus of attention.

If my personal ministry is getting more attention than the L-rd is, I should be concerned that I have departed from my main purpose. I have learned the vanity of just trying to build a ministry or influence, even when it is for a good reason. When we mature we will want to help prepare the way for the L-rd by helping to prepare His people for Him. If I am only increasing people's attention on me I am failing in my most important mission.

I do not feel comfortable being the focus of attention. I would much rather lead in a hidden way, by helping to steer people toward their destiny rather than being out in front.

Even in writing this as a form of leadership sharing knowledge learned, is a burden to me, but I am doing this out of obedience, but it is not comfortable being in the light of fire.

I know, at times, I can be a clumsy person socially, when He calls on me to lead it just makes me lean on Him more than anything else I know. So I do embrace it even if I don't feel comfortable with it. No person is capable of doing what they are called to do without G-d's help. That’s is why we were given the Helper. Feeling constantly inadequate makes you learn to lean on and trust in the L-rd, to constantly seek Him.

My goal is to be successful as the job I've been given, and that job is to prepare them for the King's service and to follow Him. My personal goal is to hear on that great Judgment Day, "well done good and faithful servant.
