Unless captured by a myopic view of self, most of us want to discuss, orchestrate and manifest plans that are consistent with those we consider our family. Especially in this era of prevalent chaotic influence it is important chart; logic, resource and emotional topics for discussion to provide an outline for prayer and decision making. Failure on even one Family member to declare or share any component weaves potential for partial or near entire mission failure.

Yet, those who depend upon the Lord risk making move before consultation without beginning this solemn process in prayer. For considering and achieving all of my own ideas, objectives or campaigns may be utter disaster if not consistent with God’s Direction in meditation, prayer and study of His Gospel. This in my opinion is the greatest temptation for those of strong will and experience. If my will is used as the guideline for plan manifestation I have begun on at best weak footing.

We have unmistakably arrived at “a time such as this”, a day where each of us may being consistent with God’s Will for our Creation find and fulfill His purpose for our creation. It behooves many that have taken years to prepare for this moment instead of walking the broad boulevard of their own counsel as they arrive at this moment having done the prep work. However, of equal danger is dropping all the preparation, prayer and obedience in fearful departure from listening and obeying God.

Two ideas; one singular and the other collective. For we must each of us unite with God in His unique direction for our Spirit as we each find ourselves embroiled in the Spirit’s struggle against our flesh. We must first understand and decide that we never could defeat the flesh. It is a battle of God’s Holy Spirit to rid the seed of our eventual glorification from the sin that stills resides within it. We must personally listen and align with God’s Spirit in conviction, repentance and action and then realize together the power of our Holy Spirit given gifts to strengthen saints, conduct ministry, edify the body and collectively join to build our defense in love and fullness of Christ against Deception.

Then comes the benefit, revision of paralysis found in the quality of; planning, action and adaptation. The character of our original outline in laying out options lends flexibility to those adaptations which must come having been met with the plasma morphing of circumstance in battle. All plans except for God’s are subject to the need for attenuation. Therefore starting from a strict agreement to adhere to His Plan instead our own accounts for that failure of self driven justification and outcome. Yes, things are going to change, human hearts and emotions are going to fluctuate but our feet individually and collectively dug deep and planted upon the Rock of Ages makes us immovable.
