Gates do not Stand Alone

I look out my window overseeing the city and watch people doing their best to build a shelter using only one post. Our city is in need of shelters for people lost,
hurt, deceived, and bound by darkness. Unfortunately it is not working. The best that gets accomplished is a rag-tag tent that keeps some rain off but does little to shield the raging storms people are seeking shelter from. The character being built by the few faithful trying to erect a shelter with only one post has been honed to a razor sharpness. “Quitting” has long been vanquished in their vocabulary, and I say this as the highest compliment. In the depth of their soul they know a shelter must be in place and somehow, some way, they will build one.
It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
– Ephesians 4:11-13
The Purple Pill: God’s call to His bride to make herself ready. (Cheyenne Wyoming: GooseBear Press, 2017)
Align and fulfill your part in the greatest revival the world has ever seen. It is time for the plans, gifts, and purpose God has knit in our hearts to be activated and called out. Our loving Heavenly Father gently raises a mirror so we can see a clear reflection of ourselves in light of His truth. Through the lens of life we see our reflection and He reveals what He sees, our true self. He always sees what’s in His heart for you, that is what you will be. In the midst of this the enemy, void of power unless we yield it to him, comes bending and twisting the mirror of truth seeking to steal, kill, and destroy. As we fit the armor of God on and begin to wield the sword of the Spirit we find it awkward and clunky at first, but with the Spirit’s help it begins to feel natural as we join Him in a beautiful waltz, we ebb and flow with the rhythms of His grace. Glancing toward our past we see one victory after another as we pursue the call God has put on our life. Test after test purifies our hearts. Our reflection is beginning to look a whole lot like Jesus. Discovering our purpose, since the creation of the world, we walk with a true heart of stewardship for all things are ours and all things are His. In His time, in His order, His call is evidenced in our daily life, bringing the Kingdom of God to earth, as it ought to be.
