The Perfecting Church

We are sent people. We are living in this world, but we are not of this world — our primary source is the mouth of God/God’s word. Our sent lives begin when we’re restored to God’s word and liberated from secondary sources as first priority. It is the word of God that perfects us — restoring our mindset to the original intent God had when He sent us to the people, places and times we find ourselves. We are here to live a sent life.

Perspective matters and how we see and perceive is rooted in what we believe. We will never have right perspective, if we don’t begin with the simple yet profound truth — we don’t come from this world; we’ve been sent to this world. Too often, we cry out for God to take us from what He has sent us to. Everything in our lives looks and feels different when realize we’ve been sent to — we don’t come from.

We’ve all met someone, were making small talk or being introduced and were quickly met with the question, “Where are you from?” The question is asked so often because it tells so much or at least leads to so much assumption, about who we are and what we’re capable of. Even Jesus was dismissed by one of the early disciples when introduced as, Jesus of Nazareth. Can anything good come from Nazareth? The truth of the matter is our destiny is linked to our origin and our origin is linked to our destiny. The two are inseparably intertwined. Life will continue to ask us, “Where are you from?” And more than we realize, our destiny is tied to our response.

God is visionary. He sees what we can’t, knows what we don’t and has the power and resources to bring those unseen realities into existence. We typically associate new beginnings with leaving our circumstances and surroundings. But over and over throughout the bible, God begins again in the same place. No where is this tendency to begin again right where we are more stunning than in the life of Hagar. This enslaved, pregnant teen shows us what it means to be called and seen by the visionary God.

Our thoughts initiate our actions, our actions create our habits and our habits determine our destiny. Our Heavenly Father desires that we set our thoughts and minds on His plans and purposes for our lives and that we not walk in fear and fall into the traps that the enemy has made for us. We must be diligent to regulate and lift our thoughts so they rise to the level of God’s truth so we can fully manifest His desires in the earth.

Pain is a universal part of the human experience in this fallen world. Not one of us is immune. Our heart’s response to the pain we experience— and inflict —plays a pivotal role in our experiences becoming either a portal for manifestations of God’s power or for them becoming portals for great destruction as we respond in our own power.

This is the time to wail, mourn, and grieve over all that is happening in our nation, our states, our cities, our communities, our neighborhoods, and our churches.

There is a clarion call from the Father who sees the destruction of His people. He is sending for an army, not of military might, but of women who are skilled at wailing, willing to cry tears over the broken systems, lives, dreams, and hearts of His people. This wailing is a sound that God commissions to alert the oppressed that He has heard their cries. His desire is for His people to mourn and seek Him.

We all have things in our lives and this world that we want to change.  Some have tried and found it’s too painful to change things in our lives and this world.  Some have witnessed others try to change things in their lives and this world and lose jobs, friends, family, and even their lives in the process and concluded it’s just too expensive.  But some have come to realize we are here to bring about change.  God has created and positioned us to push against the pain, to work with Him to remove the thorns in our lives and this world.

Too often, we limit our definition of change to something physical and external, overlooking the profound power of our mindset. Mindset can be defined as the beliefs, attitudes, and feelings that shape the way we choose and live each day. External change typically results in the same kinds of choices and the same kinds of results, because external change doesn’t change our mindset. Among all of the ways we can seek and pursue change, nothing is as powerful as a changed mind.

Crippled as a child, Mephibosheth spent the majority of his life in hiding. He came from royal lineage, but his life and experiences were far from royal. Mephibosheth shows us how radically our lives and circumstances change when we experience the sudden power and supernatural reach of the King’s Table — the promises of God. Like Mephibosheth, we are never beyond the capability or reach of the King’s Table.
