Departure & Arrivals 070305

For The LORD to get us where he has planned for us, we must have a departure

We are comfortable where we are, in our life, in our faith, but God wants to move us on

Our ministry is ahead of us, but we can’t see what is ahead with our eyes, we need the eyes of faith, 2 Corinthians 5:7 “We walk by faith, and not by sight.”

Jeremiah 29:11 “for I know the plans I have for you”

His plans are beyond what I can see, therefore the spirit of fear comes in

Gideon & Judges 6:11-17

Verse 11, the Midianites, descendants of Abraham and his concubine Keturah

Verse 12 “you mighty man of valor,” The LORD was stating the end from the beginning

Show me a sign, signs are for the lost

First the fleece was wet with dew, the second time the fleece is dry and the ground wet

Judges 8:28 shows 40 years of Gideon as a judge of Israel

Gideon had to leave from cowering at the winepress, to the General and Judge of Israel

If no departure, there is no arrival, in the natural and in the spirit

From Val Schubert… It is true we can only find God when we find Christ alone, but it is also true that we will not last in our walk if we are not rooted and established in the love of his body. 

We need a place to be fruitful ( Ephraim) and to grow and to multiply…to be fruitful and multiply we will need to depart from our previous ministry as we know it, and step out in what God has planned for us.

Manasseh first son (forget the past) and then Ephraim (be fruitful.)

Genesis 41:50-52 Manasseh & Ephraim
