Day 36 - Prophetic

It was exciting to dive into a great book while I was flying to Las Vegas.  Yesterday at church we had an awesome message about not being fearful of the prophetic.  Since I was raised in a pentecostal church the prophetic, like other manifestations of the Spirit, are not foreign to me.  I was thrilled to hear that our church would be having impartation sessions.  The sad thing, it was going on while I was in Vegas.  Bummer!

So I determined that even though I was in Vegas for business I could find plenty of time to pray and seek God for a "word in season."  Part of my time in prayer today is asking God about a ministry my husband Ken and I are thinking about beginning.  I told Ken that we would compare ideas when I get home and then step out as we feel God leading us.

It can be scary starting a new venture but when you know that God is on the adventure with you, it is a great support system.  The neat thing, this new ministry idea, has so much to do with 'broken' people.  Go figure.  Just like God to have me involved with something I am in a current study of so I can put things I'm learning to the test.

How about you?  Have you ever felt like you needed to do something but were scared or hesitant to begin?  It is just like us to want the whole charted course before we beign.  That way we can plan for dangerous areas.  Kinda like climbing a mountain.  If you knew the steep areas and any narrow paths you could mentally be prepared.

But I have found doing much of anything substantial for the Lord, you fly blind.  He requires that we are leaning totally on Him.  We are not doing anything in our own strength.  I never forget Indiana Jones in the movie where he had to traverse a gorge and there was nothing else to do but take a step into thin air.  Of course a step appeared and he was able to cross.  But it was in faith he took that first step and then the next and the next.
   
Lord, I commit the inception of this ministry to you.  I will follow where you lead and do what you what accomplished.  Please infuse me with your ideas and the power of the Holy Spirit to make it a major transformation in people's lives.  Amen

So as I am walking along it is wonderful to have a huge goal in front of me.  I have plenty of time to gather ideas while the Lord is doing a complete healing in my life in regards to 'broken.'  Having something that helps define your purpose sure puts a pep in your step.
