It has been way too long since I place a blog. But I felt this necessity to share this especially with all those who will be attending the Sun Synod Winter Youth Retreat...
About a month ago, I had a vision of speaking in Texas this winter, I was blown away when Pastor John from Austin to come speak in Texas for the Sun Synod Winter retreat. This will be my 3rd time (for different events) in the span of 4 years in Texas, I began to wonder, "God why?", a great anticipation began to build in my heart about what God has in his heart for Texas. God first shared Joel 2:12, "return to me with all of your heart with fasting..." In Joel 2:15 it says, "declare a Holy fast call a sacred assembly"... Our family and our ministry team here in Mexico began a three day fast praying deeply for revelation and preparations for the retreat in Texas. On the first day of the fast God declared clearly through my wife, His will for the retreat.. "He wants our roots deeper and deeper into His marvelous LOVE"...Ephesians 3:17 ....
What does this mean...I turned on the TV and Karate Kit 3 was on (the original series with Miyagi, pretty bad movie but I watched it for good 30 minutes anyways)... In the movie Mr. Miyagi and Daniel are back in California after their visit to Japan.. Mr. Miyagi finds a bonzai tree that looks dead, but begins to care for it. Daniel does not faith that the tree will survive... Skip over 30 minutes or towards the end of the movie... WOW the Bonzai has become healthy again...Daniel says, "I can't believe it, how?" Mr. Miyagi says, "Good ROOTS"....when you have your have good strong roots...the tree will live...
Often we find ourselves like a neglected Bonzai... Our environment here is not nourishing... maybe out right harmful... But we know that our roots are in Jesus... One who gives eternal, LOVE, life, and nourishment....
I believe that God wants to raise us and fill us with this powerful love... But are you ready.. Are you anticipating and preparing for God to restore you??? If not it is simple... ask Him? Call out to Him.. No Cry out to him.. and prepare your heart... Make a place for him... We have a now less than a month before the retreat... God says there will be pouring out of my Love in Texas are you excited to go deeper ....
