Our Purpose and Vision

Transcription

1 "Son of man, see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and give attention to all that I am going to show you; for you have been brought here in order to show it to you. Declare to the house of Israel all that you see." Ezekiel 40:4 NAS Who Are We? s are local havens where God s purpose driven virtuous women come together to find encouragement and inspiration. We will help each other discover, plan and develop the vision and purpose that is within each and every one of us that are for the cares of people across the earth. Find your PASSION, you discover your PURPOSE. Discover your purpose, God will give you your PLANS. Get your plans and together we can help each other bring it to reality. That is TRUE ONENESS!!! For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, `plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 NAS Purpose is not something that you have to go and get, it is in each and every one of us. As we continue to seek God, it will begin to unveil itself. s are geared to do just that. The more we come together and seek God s will; our true self will be revealed. God desires His children to be liberated. It is time for peace and restored hope in His Word again. We were all created with a purpose, but distractions of darkness and the cares of the world tends to darken our eyes to the point that we cannot clearly see God s plans for our lives. Together we will learn how to quiet the noise, eliminate distractions and live in a place of calm where we can clearly hear and see the plans God has for us. We all want to hear these words...well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. Matthew 25:23KJV

2 Page 2 Unity My husband and I recognize the vastness of the role of marriage and that it is a shared responsibility and not an individualized assignment. From the onset we see God operating in the principal of unity and collaboration with his decision for creation. God validates man s companionship by noting the fact that it is not good for man to operate alone. If we consider the wider view of what is being said we find that if a man wants to succeed in his endeavors as a husband then he must harness the power of unity with his wife and God first. The uniqueness of this relationship is that it implies devastation when there is a broken connection with the three (God, Man, and Woman). Why Virtuous Women? When you take time to read the passage on the virtuous woman in Proverbs 31:10-31, you will find first that a virtuous woman is the heart of her husband and he trust s her. He understands that he will have no lack of gain. Her worth is far above jewels and she will bring good and not evil all the days of her life. She understands her purpose and seeks for what is good and works well with her hands in delight. Along with many other God instilled qualities, she also extends her hand to the poor and stretches out her hand to the needy. That is why God is calling His virtuous women. A virtuous woman is one who conforms to moral and ethical principles. Women that are reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossipers nor enslaved to sensual devices, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored. Titus 3:3-5

3 Page 3 The Role of Husband The following text is taken from a study that my husband has created titled, Marriage: God s Perfect Plan Men are designed to be watchtowers. Watchtowers are called to protect and govern. When a man s territory is increased through properly aligned perspectives and relationships the ability and authorization to move to a higher elevation is permitted and orchestrated for him by God. If we fully understand Gods intent for husband and wife we would recognize that the placing of the husband as ruler over the wife was not a punishment for a mistake that was made but for a shield of protection. Marriage is a sacred an ordained relationship by God that is the foundation to our entire society, so There is no problem in the world that does not have a spiritual solution. Deepak Chopra God wanted to instill order and safe guards for it not oppression. If we keep our marriages as institutions of agreement we will achieve everything our marriages were created to be. buys it (Proverbs 31:14-16) are just a few of her abilities. Women have been given the How To gift. Give a woman a plan and God will give her the ability to bring it to pass. She is like a merchant ship that brings her food from afar. She rises while it is still night and gives food to her household. She considers a field and A woman that has been given a vision, a purpose and a passion is destined to give birth to it. We hold it in our hearts like an expecting mother holding her child in her womb. We wait for the day when we give birth and the joy it brings. When Purposes Connect When our purpose is combined with other purposes we rejoice. Just like John the Baptist leaped in His mothers womb when Mary spoke of Jesus in hers, we leap for joy. John leaped because his existence and purpose linked directly to Jesus existence and purpose in the earth.

There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. John 1:7-9 NAS. Along with being the perfect helpmate and suitable for our husbands, we are life-givers. Give us your plan Oh God and we will bring it to life. A Prayer of a Purposed Woman The Let Us Principle Synergy of God s purpose within each and every one of us will produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of any individual purpose. We were not meant to do it alone. See Genesis 2:26. I know you have heard the saying that it takes a village to raise a child. Well the same is true for purpose. It takes a village to birth Purpose. Picture the s as Purpose Building Workshops. How do our gifts, talents, and purpose interconnect? How do we all fit and work together as One Body in Christ is what we will discover. Our objective is to unite current and aspiring visionaries globally, rallying around reformation ethics, principles and values to effectively work together for the betterment of humanity. A complete spiritual and mental dismantlement and reconfiguration of our thinking is paramount for the creation of harmonic equality amongst people on the earth. This will require peculiar associations and partnerships with insightful and assiduous people elevated in the integral plans of God. The works that we perform here on earth that is considered legitimate are those that are authorized by God. The kingdom is built on relationship; not on talent, spiritual gifting or human abilities.

5 Page 5 When seeking God about the vision He has given my husband to unite other visionaries for the betterment of humanity, He led me to the following scripture passages. "But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. "All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. "Then the King will say to those on His right, `Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. `For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.' "Then the righteous will answer Him, `Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? `And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? `When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' "The King will answer and say to them, `Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.' Matthew 25:31-40 NAS These are the specific areas that God is calling us to touch. Nakedness, sickness, and imprisonment are not just physical but mental and spiritual. We are called to touch all of it. Prophecy against the Shepherds of Israel (Leaders and Systems) Then the word of the LORD came to me saying, "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to those shepherds, `Thus says the Lord GOD, "Woe, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock? "You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat sheep without feeding the flock. "Those who are sickly you have not strengthened, the diseased you have not healed, the broken you have not bound up, the scattered you have not brought back, nor have you sought for the lost; but with force and with severity you have dominated them. "They were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and they became food for every beast of the field and were scattered. "My flock wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill; My flock was scattered over all the surface of the earth, and there was no one to search or seek for them.

6 Page 6 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD: "As I live," declares the Lord GOD, "surely because My flock has become a prey, My flock has even become food for all the beasts of the field for lack of a shepherd, and My shepherds did not search for My flock, but rather the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock; therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD: `Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand My sheep from them and make them cease from feeding sheep. So the shepherds will not feed themselves anymore, but I will deliver My flock from their mouth, so that they will not be food for them." Ezekiel Chapter 34:1-10 The Restoration of Israel (People Who Love God) For thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. "As a shepherd cares for his herd in the day when he is among his scattered sheep, so I will care for My sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a cloudy and gloomy day. I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. I will feed them in a good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. "I will feed My flock and I will lead them to rest," declares the Lord GOD. "I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick; but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them with judgment. Ezekiel Chapter 34:11-16 A shepherd protects, guides, or watches over a person or group of people and watches them carefully. The enlightenment we received is not about any specific spiritual leader or a pastor but it includes all that are called to care for God s children, including systems of the earth such as prisons, schools, social services, etc. If you continue reading the entire chapter of the above passages you will find that there are great consequences that follow, but God has called us all to repentance.

7 Page 7 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 NAS "I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." Luke 5:32 NAS Build It and They Will Come God, through each of us will build a global Haven (ARK) where God s children can come and find safety, peace and purpose. We together represent Gods desire in the previous passage and are called to care for God s children. We are lighthouses for God and it is time to let God s Light so shine in the earth as One Global Light. "I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. John 12:46. For you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light. Ephesians 5:8. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself." John 12:32 What to Expect You can expect divinely monthly foundational teachings geared to inspire, build and strengthen our relationship in God and each other as we together move towards are created purpose. We will all participate in a pre-recorded teaching and then post our enlightenments on Facebook for all to be encouraged and inspired. Our Japan group is our first designated group and will appear live as we together share and talk about the enlightenments together. Purpose Building Workshops God s plan is to establish purpose building workshops all across the world. We all will be engaged in teachings with different people facilitating and teaching. In these groups we will focus on key areas of concern that God wants to touch in the earth. Our future workshops will include spiritual code of ethics, business plan writing, small and non-profit classes, publishing and much more. Together we will bridge our gifts, talents and purposes to meet God s ultimate plan for the betterment of humanity.

8 Page 8 The Global Experience We as one family eventually will come together as one global body annual in national seminars and conferences around the world. We will be in a place where we can help fund those that are in other countries to come as we all worship God and fellowship together. Financial Contribution Eventually there will be an agreed upon financial commitment that will go towards operations and the humanitarian projects that will be birthed from our workshops. The contributions will come from individuals, partners and businesses that share in the betterment of humanity. Our Commitment The internal framework and essence of every leader helps them recognize that their ability and drive comes from a higher call of destiny. Right now our focus is on building and strengthening our lives in God, relationships and marriages through teachings and fellowship globally. Everyone currently walking in your purpose; whether accounting, writing, teaching, etc. and you share God s heart for the betterment of humanity then God is calling you. The more we share the more we grow. Our purpose is becoming clearer and the direction God is leading our groups has to do with reaching God s lost and abandoned souls within the systems of the world. When your purpose is clear and you see that God has given your family a vision to help end hunger, homelessness, nakedness, sickness or to care for the imprisoned, or a passion to reach out to our youth and orphans, etc. then the next phase of the will be calling you.

9 Page 9 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Matthew 9:37-38 KJV. We are looking for committed individuals who are willing to collaborate together, participate in foundational building teachings, and discuss and plan the vision God has laid out in each and every one of us. The times we meet will be coordinated with an international audience allowing us to stream live together. It is impossible to build without relationship and commitment. If you are willing to commit once a month and stream live with women across the world as we go through God s Word together, then God is calling you. Are you willing to strengthen your own relationship with God and continually seek Him for your purpose and help others discover theirs? God is calling you. Are you willing to share enlightenments you receive from God and encourage others in our discussion groups? God is calling you. Finally, are you willing to collaborate your purpose, gifts and talents as One Body in Christ, building God s church across the earth? God is calling you. Seek God and Pray Take time to seek God and pray. If you are willing to walk this journey with us then send me a message on Facebook and join our discussion group on Facebook. Our first live stream will take place Saturday, August 31st at 10:00am in Japan which is 9:00pm Friday, August 30th Eastern Standard Time in the United States. Please take time and share this with anyone you feel will be a great asset. I look forward to sharing and growing together with you. May God bless you all richly. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28NAS Curtis and Michele Bryant Visionaries of the
