A WORD FOR ACTS 2 FAMILIES!
I have a word of encouragement for those of you in seasons of movement and transition, as our family is right now. I call us all the Acts 2 families!
What are acts 2 families? Families who have given God their complete yes to go where He has called them despite the COST and UNKNOWN.
Families commissioned in this new day to lead the church back to the original blueprint.
I feel to say to you: Acts 2 families, assemble!
Step out of the funk of the past season!
Get your focus back!
I know you are in a season of massive change, transition, and even many changing locations, missions and so much more...but God is mightily at work right now!
The Lord is shifting you out of the season of shifting sands. He’s planting your feet on solid rock again. After years of instability and waves knocking you back and forth, He’s bringing you into stability and a season of establishing.
He’s calling you into your greatest divine assignment, one that will supersede every other or idea you’ve had. God is bringing you back to the simplicity of Acts 2 and the simple gospel.
He’s untangling you from the snakes of the ministry world and everything that has choked the life, joy, and adventure out of your calling. He’s bringing you back to the simplicity of His presence and to loving people well.
Acts 2 families, assemble! Begin to dream with the Lord. There is grace this week to dream with Him. Come together as a family and ask, “Lord, where are You leading us? What do You have for us?”
If you’ve been in a place of frustration or confusion, or if you’ve seen your children bending under the weight of this season of crushing, come together. Consecrate yourselves before the Lord and ask Him, “What is our next step?” He will give you your next step.
The Lord is bringing families back into divine order. He’s clearing out all the debris and planting your feet in a place where you will flourish not just as individuals or ministries, but as families.
This is a time where your children will thrive. They will step into their own Acts 2 as well.
This is what the Lord is doing right now, bringing us back to the original call, the simple call. Let’s embrace it, dream with Him, and step into what He has prepared for us.
I kept hearing this scripture over you this morning;
“and provide for those who grieve in Zion to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor”
Watch what God does in this season.. so shake off the dust because it’s going to be glorious!
