Back in Montana

Well its been a while since i updated here. At the end of my stay in Russia, I and other people that speak into my life, felt like the Lord was wanting me to go home to Montana to get a little R & R.

At the time I didn't fully understand why. Now I can see exactly what the Lord was doing and why.

There is a lot of talk in churches of foundations. If the foundation is strong then the building will be also. If the foundation is wrong, then you are wasting your time trying to build on it.

Since coming home I have come to see that my foundation has been built on what man says it should be, bible school, internships, mission trips, quiet time....,but the Lord has another agenda. Jesus died with one agenda, to restore man to God. We want formulas, He wants friends. He can trust friends with the Kingdom.

The foundation upon which all else is built is knowing Him. Not knowing about Him i.e. knowing the bible, or how to preach, or how to pray for the sick. When I came home I had to get brutally honest with myself and admit that I really don't know the Father. We are business partners and not friends. That is a horrible realization!!

So I have set apart some time to spend with God. All else aside! Just to seek to truly know Him. I know this will be the most amazing time and out of it will flow the fruitfulness that we all seek.

It is the most simple and basic step that must be first above all else. He cannot and will not allow us to bypass the very reason that Jesus went to the cross. He declares in His word that if we seek Him we will find Him. For He is the answer to every problem, the true fulfilment of every desire and the pinnacle of all true spirituality.
