Pray dangerous prayers! The Father desires to take you on an amazing adventure.
I gave Jesus the keys of my life one day. I said take control I’ll follow You wherever You’ll lead me.
Have you ever prayed dangerous prayers? Did you know prayer works? I had an idea, but to what extend?
Did you ever think that when you gave it all up to Him, He would take you places you’d never dream off? Had you imagined that some time it would be hard and heart breaking? That it would mean giving everything you have everything you are? Not really. I had no clue.…

Song: End of my journey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwSzJcBogkU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Loved this song, gives the example of what the cross and message of Christs life. Total surrender to ego, to be resurected to live in and from spirit. Following and surrendering to Christ.
To be who we are and what we have come at this time in life to do on the earth. Only through the holy spirit can that be… Continue

Nothing else exists, all else is a illusion. ' The Son of God cannot sin. We can make mistakes, ' to be sure, and we obviously do. But Gods attitude toward error is a desire to heal us.

The Barn Perspective
Yesterday our pastor challenged us to have a "barn perspective" in relation to our possessions and giving. Many of us operate with a "bag perspective". We treat our possessions as our private reserve, like a bag of seed with a hole in it. We are always seeking to fill our bag to get ahead, and yet we struggle to find enough as our seed spills out here and there. There is…

engaging
I have been journeying with John in his engagement in fulfilling the SOIL commitment. This led me to look back at the site and notice that it has been inactive for quite some time. I assume we have all been engaged in the current calling God has placed before each one of us. For the past four years Linda and I have been engaged in starting a shelter for runaway/homeless youth in crisis: https://www.yeshelter.org/with a couple of forays to Kenya and…See More

"Hi John, had great time seeing you last night! Again thank for the invite to SOIL, hope I can share some positive energy with the site!"
"Holiness often isn't thought of in that way these days but that is so true. In what ways am I living a life that is different from the general way of the world, a life that is separated from the 'normal' way of living?"
"Good to see you on SOIL brother. I am excited about the possibilities. Shoot me an update on your life.
Your brother, John"
"Hi Dave it's good to see you on here. Look forwards to the conversation."
