Birthday thoughts
Dear friends-
First, if you did not know that next week was my birthday, then know you are welcome. You just have to let the keeper of the food (Tina) know that you are coming. The party is on the 5th of July. My actual birthday is July 3rd. Funny, I just saw that George W. Bush and I were born in the same town and the same hospital. Interesting.
The last few weeks have been pretty interesting. Many things on the plate. (Hey, summer is short in Vermont!) I have been talking to many people with new business interests getting me out and about. Prayed for a pre-Christian with cancer. Was with a couple from Atlanta (She is originally from Springfield), who have an outreach to prostitutes, strippers and porn stars and they were here for the last few days. Meetings in other churches and fellowships.
Observation-there is a large group in the church and outside the church who do not know how to fit in anywhere. How can that be when we are made in the image of the Lord? I must fit in. Paul said we were the body. The body connected. Some of my friends have called them disenfranchised. Others the wanderers. But what ever the name the fact is that they do not feel that they fit.
In recent days I have met many who are disconnected with no direction, no feel for destiny, no understanding of the future with hope. Perhaps I feel that way because of the gifts that God has placed in my life. The ability to see pain and see the destiny of an individual all at the same time. In recent days I have had a number of people call seeking a word. We all want to know where we are going.
I ministered on Sunday morning in a church that is seeking change. Change for the future. Change that must be implemented today for tomorrow. As I prayed and prophesied over people the Lord revealed something "fresh" to me. The fresh was that people are "crying" out for a future and a knowledge of that. Scripture tells us that "believe the prophets and prosper." There has been a shift in recent days to do that. As I laid hands on people and the Lord released pictures of destiny, you could feel the change of the atmosphere. I did another meeting there a few days later. Some of the people came and asked for clarification of words and applications. (Could this mean we have left the days of "I need a word. Now I need another word. And another." As I said to a couple yesterday, I am a "one trick pony." I simply know what I know and it does not change.) This could mean that there is the opportunity for the prophetic word to not only be heard, but that people will allow it to be "shepherded" in their lives. It would signal a change from words gathering dust on the shelves and a willingness to walk in it. Ultimately, that would invite relationship and the removal of the "outcast" syndrome so many experience. It beacons the future of a five fold team of operatives, working together, going place to place and doing the "stuff."
Our friends(The ministry they work with is Victoria's Friends. We had a lot in common like the XXX Church-Porn and Pancakes, JC's Girls, etc.) from Atlanta go into strip joints and the like. (Well, the girls do!) They bring the "outcast" face to face with the love of the Father. They have a home complete with house mom's that takes care of these broken vessels. We had a glorious time with them. We have already talked about reaching out together in cities about New England, bringing teams, sharing with churches about porn and prostitution, etc., and how we can help these caught in it. We are looking towards Boston, Springfield, Hartford and New Haven.
Little wonder the Lord had no time that could not show up for the meal, but sent them to gather from the highways and byways.
There is a lot shaking going on. It is getting harder and harder to be a "loner." But, that does not mean they are not out there. It is our reasonable service to find them.
So, if you are feeling "lonely on July 5th, join us.
Blessings,
Lee
