Listening & God is Calling Laymen to the Pulpits and Many Pastors to the Pews

  

Listening

Listening is the most important thing you can do

But do you listen to Me or do you listen to You?

Praying in the Spirit is meaningless for your aware mind

That's  why it's equally important to take the TIME

TIME to just be quiet and listen

Listening to hear what is the Body of Christ's mission

Do I stay or do I go? Do I run or do I go slow?

There are the things you will hear when you get close to Me

These are the decisions I will help you make and help you see

Seeing is believing for the weak in faith

Hearing clearly is the key to seeing what is real and not fake

So take the time out of ANY part of your day

To just sit and listen to what I have to say

Then and only then will you truly know just how to pray

Your prayers in the Spirit will begin to take shape and make sense

So you can go forward in confidence and not ride the fence

Why do my people grumble and moan?

When they know they are chosen as my own?

I need them not to toil nor break their backs

For substances they merely need to ask

For I have redeemed the soil and the land

All is mine and I have put it into your hand

Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs

In the Presence of the Almighty is where the righteous belong 

Listen, Listen, Listen and ALL will be made clear

For I have not given you a spirit of fear but of GOOD CHEER

Know, dear ones, that I am always present and NEAR

The darkness will be overcome by the light

Those who have eyes to see will see alright

Gone will be the days of torment and pain

Reach into my Presence where the true treasure abounds

And you will hear Heavenly sounds

Be still and know that I am God

And I will show you the way that is well trod

I've got you dear children, do not be afraid

This is your moment to shine and you will not be the same

Your emotions are mailable by the world in which you abide

But if you listen to me you will see the truth through the painful lies

 

            Laymen to the Pulpit, Pastors to the Pews... Great Commissions 

Rest now, don't fight, Everything is going to be alright

Soon you will all see the light

As your enemies turn and take flight

Weary not dear loved ones in all your well doing

There is so much left to accomplish 

The Heavens are shaking and things are moving

What was once shall never be again

Its time to jump into the river, you know how to swim

Listen to HIM, "my Spirit never tells a lie"

In the shadow of the Almighty is where you shall abide

As I hardened Pharaoh's heart 9x and then 10

I have a plan to set my people free from tyranny yet once again

Their yolk of slavery, once heavy, will be broken by my might

And you shall taken on my commission which is easy and light

I will restore your sight so you can see what is happening clearly

Beloved Stay Near Me

Hush, hush now, wipe those tears, there is a plan

I haven't brought you this far to keep you held back my mere man

No one can stop the Divine order of my Universe

Those who touch his anointed will suffer a great curse

Touch NOT my anointed and do my prophets NO HARM

Repent and follow me and you will be delivered from the wrath for your wrongs

The wrongs you have done to my people, oh in ignorance and bliss

You have shot at the mark and greatly you have missed

Judas you are not, you don't mean to betray, 

but you will suffer his punishment if you do not turn onto the right way

I am speaking to the pastors of flocks that have grown weary

Of fear mongering and mask wearing- of the "juice" they are leery

You have pushed my sheep over the edge

By your admonition they went gleefully to the ledge 

And as some of my sheep have fallen into the pit below

You covered your eyes and didn't want to know

So I will call out my illegal shepherds

Who have commandeered my true flock

And I will remove you from the clergy and you will be defrocked

Go home to your family, work hard with your hands

Finally do something with your life

Start with remodeling plans

Get out tools, hammers and nails, learn what real work entails

And maybe you will grow to respect those who you used to look down upon on life's scales

The scales of this world, where you clerics thought you were superior

When in reality I never hear your prayers, they are consumed in your own lust and just a blur

For your thoughts, prayers, and actions are such a distain to me

That none of us hear you, Father, Son, Spirit: Trinity

And yet I still hold out my hand

I knock on your heart's door, and want you to enter into my kingdom and lands

But you must first lay down your pride for what you carry- 

you cannot fit through the eye of the needle

Pastors of America, I am talking to YOU 

Your pride is a stain when you call upon my name

Oh how I long to hear you without your purpose being self-centered gain

I want to hear you praying, loving, DEFENDING the FLOCK

Instead you turned from my sheep- I hear that a lot

"My church has shut down...they make us cover our faces..." 

Do you not know that these are holy and sacred places?

Do not cover the image bearer's countenance with a piece of cloth

Shortening their breathing, this is not why the founder's fought

They fought for freedom and Liberty, those things you have taken for granted

And I am now cleaning out my Body and raising up leaders who will be planted

Planted in good soil and will immediately take root and grow

And spread forth their anointing to everyone they know

The time is now and it won't be slow

But overnight my new trees will sprout up from the ground and they will grow

Then the Gospel of TRUTH will spread like wildfire throughout the entire GLOBE

Yes church I have a plan and I am letting you know

When things are shaken like this, it's a once in a century shaking

You are living in the midst of Church history in the making

THE GREAT COMMISIONS 

WORDS WORDS write them down make them known

Now is the time for all to be shown

You've all been given pieces of my magnificent puzzle

And you must work together in love and the Spirit you shall not muzzle

Words in everyone's mouth

Those who are up and moving and not on a spiritual couch

But have been actively seeking me for many many years

Now is your time to be seen for all your work, sweat, and tears

Those who prayed for strangers in the middle of the night 

Those who have never backed down from a spiritual fight

YOU- YOU- I SEE YOU as I saw Nathaniel under the fig tree

You answered my call long ago when I was looking for disciples and said "follow me." 

To those who are new to this Heavenly based fight

You too have a battle commission and a position, be ready to strike 

Strike while the iron is hot, for when it is cooled, the iron takes it's shape... and you don't want it remade

Be ready to go when I say "go",  Run as fast as you possibly can

There is much work for you to do as you fall under Heaven's command

Release the captives, held by fear and torment

Tell them why you were sent, do not relent

Do not grow tired or battle weary

Fuel yourself with my Word, this is not "one and done" but a series

Of moves and counter moves 

You will out maneuver, not just the leaders, but the mob

And end up victorious and rest when you have done a good job 

The job I created you to do from the foundation of the world

I promise you one thing on this Heavenly adventure- follow me and you will never get bored

See Jesus

Isaiah 58 Ministries                                                                            September 7, 2014

Pastor:   Leah Svensson

Scriptures:  Romans 5:12-14, Romans 1:16-20


          Hello from Plymouth, Massachusetts!!!  The place where it all started.  Good and Evil across our great nation all started here.  Whether you are on the good side or the bad side, the beginnings of what you are and believe today started here.  This is where the foundation has been laid.  One on a rock the other on shifting sand....

     

   The Pilgrims landed here and gave us the "Matrix of Liberty". In the year of our Lord 1620.
  The "Declaration of Independence" and   "The Constitution" follow the example of the first  successful government that was by the People and for the people. It is called Self Government:  where people themselves encompass the government making laws and enforcing them. Having the people control their own behavior using inward self-discipline given to them when Jesus Christ is revealed in their hearts and minds. With this all of the people agree on the Bible as God's perfect laws. It is easy to apply and uphold because God has  written his "just", "fair" and "equitable" laws on the hearts of all "good" people. The result of men "Knowing" God's perfect will was the Mayflower Compact.

       It is very very "good"!

   

Evil was also started here...  When evil people started self government by "coercing" the people to obey men instead of God and the Bible...  This government is when a few of the people are being "tyrants" over the rest of the people.  An example: Under this government the Supreme Court, made of just 9 people, can make laws and make everyone obey them when just 5 of them agree... This is called judicial tyranny, which we have today. These 5 people  can and do lie to, cheat, and steal from the American people of "The Truth".. 

 The Supreme Court lies about everything and forces their lies on the people.  The first "public, government run school"  was started here  in Massachusetts.  These evil people brainwash others, they blind the American people from the revelation of Jesus Christ and his gift of freedom in their hearts and minds. Public schools are a form of coercion, forced tyranny. 

      It is very, very "evil"!  

  





    God is pure, honest, without sin.  When Adam and Eve sinned they fell from having a perfect mind.  Sin entered their minds.  The devil owned Adam and Eve because they disobeyed God.  

Death in Adam, Life in Christ

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.


      

    The Pilgrims founded this country on the Rock of Jesus Christ.  They built the first society based on the truth that is in the Bible.  
    America is great, free, and good because of God. It is a society built on the rules written in the Old and New Testament. The Pilgrims gave us the Mayflower Compact which is the first covenant between free men based on the Bible.  The Pilgrims also gave us civilization and a civilized way to live with each other. The Pilgrims also gave us a civil law book based on the perfect law of the Bible.

   
 

    William Bradford is the first follower of Jesus Christ to set up self government based on the gospel of Jesus Christ and his divine laws from God the Father written for all men in the Bible. William Bradford was the governor of Plymouth for over 30 yrs. He was a  great political leader. The founding fathers submitted and learned from William Bradford and the pilgrims. The Founding Fathers also submitted to other great men of God who were in submission to Jesus Christ and his divine law, the Holy Bible. 

   

    The Pilgrims and the Founding Fathers set up self government based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 
                        

   

The Gospel of Jesus Christ which is the foundation and basis, (basis: divine authority, right of),  for all civil government:

 

    There is no greater love than the love God has for all people that he sent his only begotten Son to die for us so we don't have to lie to ourselves or to others. We don't have to obey the devil or those still captive by him, owned by him to "conquer all people". We no longer believe the lies the Devil came up with listed here!!!  We are free from the Father of lies and can now, in the power of our true Father Tell the "truth"... Jesus, his word, every word of the Bible is inspired by God and is the absolute truth!!! 

     God loved us so much he set us free from "all" sin.. For every sin comes from a lie....  The truth, the Word of God, enlightened to a "humble" soul by the power of the Holy Spirit, the "truth" sets all men free...  Men have no more excuse to sin and can be punished and corrected when they do sin....

     Knowing the Gospel of Jesus Christ lead The Pilgrims to write the Mayflower Compact and led the founding fathers to write The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. 

     

The Pilgrims and the Founding Fathers are men who obeyed God and his word only!  They are free from "working" for other people.  They are not slaves and do not have "masters," or "bosses." They founded this country on the principles of farming.  Men providing for themselves independent of others.  Relying on the benevolence, grace and mercy of God only; to bestow upon them his magnificent blessing on their families, friends, neighbors; on their farms, animals and to provide their livelihoods.  God's love:

benevolence

noun 1.desire to do good to others; goodwill; charitableness:

to be filled with benevolence toward one's fellow creatures.

2.

an act of kindness; a charitable gift.

3.

English History. a forced contribution to the sovereign.

No one can ask for someone else, or through the government by the people, to provide for them, anything.  All men must turn to God, obey him and trust God's benevolence for their provision and protection... 

Government's job under the leadership of the Pilgrims and Founding Fathers is to uphold the people's freedom and rights that come from God and him only..  No one can break the laws of God. No one can transgress against others, especially those in leadership; judges, congressmen, Senators, policemen, statesmen, lawyers, etc.

Leadership must live and act according to the highest of morals standards given to men by God.  Leadership is accountable to the people. No one is above the laws of God.  All men are under the "good" superior laws that come from God.

fair1

fe(ə)r/Submit

adjective

1.

in accordance with the rules or standards; legitimate.

"the group has achieved fair and equal representation for all its members"

synonyms: just, equitable, honest, upright, honorable, trustworthy; More

antonyms: unjust, biased

1.

without cheating or trying to achieve unjust advantage.

"no one could say he played fair"

      So we just spent a week learning about the Pilgrims and the founding Fathers.  One word comes to mind.....  These saints of the most high God lived amongst each other and with other people "Fairly", "Justly".  They all had faith in God's ability to deliver them from unjust, unfair, unholy people who would cause them to live under their leadership instead of God's Holy, just, fair Ten Commandments. 

     Not only did they live under God's leadership by the Holy Spirit and the Bible but they also made laws in which all men must treat each other "fairly", "justly" according to the good and perfect laws of God...  

   No one can judge another without going to God's Holy Word first to find out what is just, and fair.  This is where we get every man deserves a "fair" trial.  Without the Word of God or his Ten Commandments men can not govern or sit in judgement.  All people must  be "fair", "just" to one another according to the Words of Almighty God.  For only God is just and fair.  Only God can justify and redeem men's souls......

    Only through the blood that Jesus shed for all men, to pay the price for sin, can men be forgiven their sins... Only God's chosen can govern in America.  Those who are free from sin who are just and fair.  Men who treat everyone equally according to God's Holy perfect law;  The Holy Bible! 

    Conclusion.  No one obeys another person..  All men must submit to God, his Holy Word, only!!!!  No one can "make" another" person do anything unjust, unfair, according the the precious Word of God. For God is Holy, just, fair to all men!!!

 

  "No pubic Schools" for they "do" and "teach" people to sin, to be unfair, to lie, to cheat,to steal, to live immoral, to do unjust things. They do it themselves and cause children not to remember God and be fair and just but the opposite.  

    God is fair and just and shall judge 

those who teach others to forget God 

 and his Word. God will judge those who 

support these unfair, unjust people.....

    Every child, every person has the "right" 

from God to know only God can judge them, only God can punish them, only 

God can reward them for being "good" according to his Word!!!  

   

 

       Farming is a good wholesome healthy life to live.  Children have the right to know they have the right to own property and have land. Children have the right from God to know what they produce stays with them. The land through which God will provide for them...  

    Government does not own anyone's land, they can not tax your property or what you produce; then turn around and steal your children to make them submit to them and obey them.... All men must obey God and God only!!!

The Just Live by Faith  Romans

 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,  for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” 

Romans 7:12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he sent Jesus to died in our place. We are free to serve God and him ONLY!! NO one can steal from you, no one can lie to you, to one can make you submit to them and serve them. No one can watch over your shoulder 24/7/365 to judge you like teachers do. They are not God.....

That You May Know

1 John 5:13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God  will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.
18 We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.
19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
Romans 1:16

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith,  as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” 

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,  in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 

                                        Conclusion

 

    To live in America is to see Jesus in everyone around you... Jesus death set all men free from sin. Men are without an excuse. No one is free to sin but the opposite; men are free from sin and from those who willing sin, transgress the laws of God. This country is founded on the principles of self employment through farming and those occupations that support the free enterprise of men providing for their families through farming.  

Anyone who oppresses, makes this difficult or impossible, is to be put to death for violating a man's God given right to provide for himself and his family freely using his own land and property. When you look at an American you need to see Jesus or God benevolence satiating their entire being.  Then both of you are free!  Life, liberty, free to be happy through God's love, grace and benevolence...

satiate

   [sā′s̸hē āt′; for adj., usually, -it]

adjective

1. The definition of satiate is being full or having had enough or more than enough.
   An example of satiate is how you would describe yourself filled up on your favorite meal.

4th of July Series, Speak the Truth Even in the Little Things (part 1)

Isaiah 58 Ministries                                                          June 25, 2014

Pastor: Leah Svensson

Scripture: Psalms 133:1, Psalms 19:14, James 3:9-11, Philippians 4:6-8, Mark 9:33-37, Luke 6:45, Matthew 25:15-30,

 

   

    How good and how pleasant it is 

For brethren to dwell together in 

unity! Psalm 133:1

    

   






  The other day Justin came up with an epiphany. 


The devil can't get to a righteous man so he 

uses other people in the flesh to 

try to trap a righteous person in a 

lie. 

     The devil is weak. He is also the father of lies. God wants for us to always speak the truth, even in the little things.  We have to work on with every word we speak. No matter what we are feeling inside. (Clothes, make-up, weight  or our personal opinions, are not considered  the Truth; keep your personal abstract thoughts to yourself. i.e. Don't tell someone you don't like their clothes or say things that hurt their feelings. Styles are always changing.)

   

   Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable (pleasing) in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.Psalm 19:14 

(This is a scripture that I pray often :)

  
  What I am finding is that sometimes when I think I'm speaking the truth, lies are coming out of my mouth. Yikes!  How can this be- blessing and cursing cannot come from the same place. 

     

   You may say that everyone lies, but if

our head is Christ, only 

the truth should 

come out of our mouths. 

     Sometimes life throws hard things at us. In these moments we are squeezed- anger, frustration, fear- all of these things are lies from the enemy. I have purposed to only let the truth come out of me no matter what. 

    James 3:9-11 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water?

Fear Vs Faith....One is a Lie and One is the Truth

Philippians 4 

6 Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.

7 And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

8 For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just (fair), whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable,whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take is anything account of these things [fix your minds on them].

 

 Think on these things: :) 

     If you think on good things the TRUTH  will come out and the lies will dissipate! 

Truth, purity, justice, decent, proper, excellent, virtue, praise to God worthy, lovely, lovable, worthy of the reverence of God!! :)

    God wants us to meditate, he wants us to think things through. He is telling us in His word to fix our mind on things, to weigh things and take account, to remember them. 

But we have a limited area in which our thoughts should go- on one side is depression, fear, anxiety, lack of faith in God, anger, violence, self pity.

 

  Preaching the Gospel to others so "They also" know the love of God ahead of Ourselves Will Cause the Truth to Prevail

    



                     First will be last and Last will be first:

Mark 9: 33 And they arrived at Capernaum; and when [they were] in the house, He asked them, What were you discussing and arguing about on the road?

34 But they kept still, for on the road they had discussed and disputed with one another as to who was the greatest.

35 And He sat down and called the Twelve [apostles], and He said to them, If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all.

36 And He took a little child and put him in the center of their group; and taking him in [His] arms, He said to them,

37 Whoever in My name and for My sake accepts and receives and welcomes one such child also accepts and receives and welcomes Me; and whoever so receives Me receives not only Me but Him Who sent Me.

   

a lie causes darkness

    Sometimes depression and anxiety will overwhelm us. Lies creep into our head. As we think on them they come out of our mouths and become realities. We need to stop these thoughts at the fountainhead! One way to do this is to pray for, seek answers from God, and uplift others and somehow your problems get starved of their hold over you! 

 

  What we meditate on, what we think about, those are the things that will eventually come out of our mouths. 

   A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. Luke 6:45

       

   We can't let evil or the devil come out of our mouths. We must put 

one another's 

relationship to God

 first and realize that our words affect those around us to bring health and bring healing.

    Pray first! Pray about 

every thing because even the Word of God can be used 

for harm, but should be used to comfort, bind up the wounded and set the captives free. When the Word of God is used in simple truth, everyone is blessed.

   When we speak the truth all the time, we are putting others before our own selfishness, self loathing or pain. We then, get healed from that pain and if we meditate on the good things the god of self loathing is starved to death then happiness and peace return.

  

The world says that we need "me time" and we need to "think about our needs" in order to find balance and peace but that is not what our Lord teaches. 

The Lord teaches that if we put God's needs, to show his children his love and pray for their problems in front of our own, he will fix ours!! :) 

   

       It doesn't matter where you have come from. What matters is that we "take up our cross daily" and follow our Lord. 

     The other day our friend  Jimmy was talking about not wanting to be stuck in this earthy body, but has a desire to be complete and whole in Heaven. Oh, how I feel that way sometimes. 

Our Founding Fathers felt the same.

   Then I look at all I have done in this life for our Lord and realize I have not "run my race." 

I still have a purpose to fulfill. God has a 

plan for us on this earth still. I want to throw off this earthy temple and be with my Lord but I am not ready. I have not done enough for Him. I still need to gain that Heavenly treasure. So,  I will rejoice in the body God has given me! I will do that which is pleasing in His sight with what he has given me, with the tools he has put before me today!

     

      Our very own Kansas Cowboy lives out his life putting others first, so they come to know how much God loves them. God will truly bless him! He has taken the small things God has given him turned them into pure gold! God gave him some pallet wood and he built a cathedral for God's creatures, our chickens! This is the principle of the talents. 3 men were each given talents or coins- two did something with them, but one put his talents in the ground. If you do what you can with what God gives you he will abundantly bless you with more!!! 

Matthew 25:15 To one he gave five talents  to another two, to another one—to each in proportion to his own [a]personal ability. Then he departed and left the country.16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he gained five talents more.17 And likewise he who had received the two talents—he also gained two talents more.18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.19 Now after a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.20 And he who had received the five talents came and brought him five more, saying, Master, you entrusted to me five talents; see, here I have gained five talents more.21 His master said to him, Well done, you upright (honorable, [b]admirable) and faithful servant! You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little; I will put you in charge of much. Enter into and share the joy (the delight, the [c]blessedness) which your master enjoys.22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, Master, you entrusted two talents to me; here I have gained two talents more.23 His master said to him, Well done, you upright (honorable, [d]admirable) and faithful servant! You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little; I will put you in charge of much. Enter into and share the joy (the delight, the [e]blessedness) which your master enjoys.24 He who had received one talent also came forward, saying, Master, I knew you to be a harsh and hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you had not winnowed [the grain].25 So I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is your own.26 But his master answered him, You wicked and lazy and idle servant! Did you indeed know that I reap where I have not sowed and gather [grain] where I have not winnowed?27 Then you should have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received what was my own with interest.28 So take the talent away from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents.29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will be furnished richly so that he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have will be taken away 30 And throw the good-for-nothing servant into the outer darkness; there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.

One way we can tell the truth is to take whatever God has given us and use it to the fullest. We have one acre of land. We know God wants us to have more so we can do more. Now, we could sit here and say "I'll just wait to start farming until I get all the land I think I'll need." But that would not be what God is telling us to do according to the parable we just read. I've lived in an apartment and started gardening on a 3rd floor balcony. We started with a handful of carrots and some lettuce, now we have raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes, cabbage, beans, you name it, we are trying to grow it! I know that as we step out and do what we can with what we have the Lord will supply the rest. I could complain about not having everything I need yet, but the Lord is showing me to be positive and praise Him and thank him in everything!
