VISION = "IN A PERFECT WORLD!"

"Where there is no vision, the people perish..." {Proverbs 29:18}

>>>>>IN A PERFECT WORLD<<<<<

Perfect world...What does that even mean?

...For me, it would have to do with having more control,... or maybe resources is a more appropriate word to use to convey what I'm trying to say?

The resources to begin to act on the vision that would constitute for Beth and I what I believe would mean a perfect world for me and mine first...

REMEMBER???

FAMILY FIRST IN MINISTRY AND IN;
" SEEKING YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD ...AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU..."

...What I'm talking about is making sure my family is safe and secure first, and then collectively being enabled to allow each member of the family to be empowered to find their own individual purposes and relationship with their Heavenly Father...

It is my belief, that in so doing the family is strengthened, life is rich and full, filled with purpose, hope and adventure...and the Kingdom of God is best served and the "Real" New Testament Church will flourish and have the massive impact on this world and the world to come That God intended...

Tall order Huh?

I believe it's possible and way more than just an old mans unrealistic idealic pipe dream.

Yes I am still talking about the beginning of creating a real Tribulation Force type and style ministry and using all of the incredibly gifted, talented, and much blessed members of my family....

...Just Dad doing what Dad has been called to do...

Leading his family to be that dynamic force in these last days that we find ourselves living our lives in and being best prepared to deal with and to be used in the mass chaos that is soon to come...

Being ready....Getting ready...Even much more so as you see the day approaching.

There are plenty of reasons, some of them just selfish desires of 2 people growing older and wanting to surround themselves with the people they love the most on the planet...Our Children and Grandchildren and any other extended members of the family willing to take a chance on living their lives on the edge of the most exciting and important adventure in history.

THE RETURN OF OUR SOON AND VERY SOON COMING KING!

....JESUS!

God has blessed Beth and I with 3 incredible children and not only that...But all three have already done something incredible with their lives!

They all three chose 3 more incredible and dearly loved children of God, remarkable Human Beings for their lifes companions. In doing so, they have given us blessed and beautiful grandchildren...Five so far, 3 boys, 2 girls.

Joe, Jess and Tyler, are just as loved, and cherished as if they were our own children...In fact we do consider them to be!

Since we are surely in the throes of Labor pangs...that is, according to my understanding of Eschatological events, and the timeline involved, according to most learned scholars in the disciplines of theology and Prophetic iterpretations...?

...Anyday now, our lives and lifestyles are going to be challenged and changed in ways that most of us here in the United States and western cultures have never experienced or even tried to imagine.

...Even the unbelieving, and skeptical scoffers, realize that society as we know it is likely to disappear and in fact is even at the very moment of this writing.

These are perilous and uncertain times that we are living in...But are they really?

To my mind, I think that we are living in the most exciting times ever. Full of promise and opportunity. That is why we need to prepare immediately and begin to insure that we are in a position to protect and teach our most precious loved ones...

...and in so doing, we will be in a position to be soldiers on the front lines for loving and ministering to a lost and dying world a Tribulation Force!


...THE VISION IN MY PERFECT WORLD!


BREAK TIME....I HEAR THE DINNER BELL AND MY PRECIOUS LEXIE WILL BE HERE FOR AN OVERNIGHT VISIT WITH PAPAW AND GRANDMA AND MAMAW SORRELL

BBL TO SHARE THE   

......."VISION".......


Sunday Morning {THE LORD'S DAY}  Jan. 18, 2009>>8:30AM

The Vision....FINALLY

Well here it is....Regardless what your belief system is???  There  are so many right and practical reasons, on so many levels why the things I'm about to share would be the right and wise course of action to implement, giving the time and conditions in which we find ourselves at this moment in History.

First off, Let me share my personal perfect world idea, and then I'll explain the why fors, and how comes, and the results and benefits that would be realized as a result, and why I believe that the inspiration is divine and part of the call on my life and the lives of my loved ones:


....We need the right piece of property.  A minimum of 20 acres, but preferably a 100 + patch of ground.  The topography needs to be diverse and fertile with some high ground, woods forested for timber and wild game habitat.  Running water into and out of a resevoir/fishing pond.  There also needs to be enough land for growing crops for food for people and livestock.

...The idea is that you need a high ground position for a military type defenseable position...Its always better to hold the high ground in a battle!
Believe me when I say to you that in the future when chaos rules, infrastructures are broken down and the population is desperately just trying to survive.  Only those with a strategy and weapons to protect themselves and their loved ones and their resources will be able to fend off those hell bent on taking what you have away from you.
...History bears this out...Think about the early settler days like when Daniel Boone brought families into the wilderness and they had to defend themselves against those that would take away what they had by any means necessary...MOVIE BUFFS SHOULD KNOW THIS.  MAD  MAX, WATERWORLD,  THE LEFT BEHIND MOVIES,  ETC. ETC.

Trust me when I tell you that a few major disasters, whether they are terrorist attacks or God's Prophetic judgements being unleashed as prophesied, So called natural disasters, even economic collapse which we are smack dab in the middle of at this very moment...Could very well, and probably will put us in a position where we will have to make those choices to kill or be killed, fighting for the lives and protection of those we love the most, just like we have seen and are seeing in all of the conflicts taking place in the Middle East.

We would be fools to think that because we live in America that we are somehow immune from these kind of realities, and probabilities.

   Let it put it this way;  "I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE A GUN AND NOT NEED IT OR HAVE TO USE IT, THAN TO NOT HAVE ONE, AND NEED ONE TO SAVE THE LIVES OF MY GRANDSONS AND GRANDDAUGHTERS"...

...BTW...There are worse things that people do to each other than killing them and I'll be damned before I risk something like that happening to one of my babies when I might possibly be able to do something to prevent it...Life as we know it now is very likely to change drastically very soon!


GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND!!!
...YOU ARE NOT AN OSTRICH, BUT A CHILD OF THE KING AND HIS WORD SAYS BE YE ALWAYS READY FOR YOU KNOW NOT WHAT HOUR THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE COMETH!

VIRGINS...MAKE SURE YOU HAVE OIL IN YOUR LAMPS!

GET IT?????

You have to have fresh water for survival to support life, sanitation, crop irrigation and can create a source of self contained, self producing energy, ie; ELECTRICITY, oxygen, hydrogen etc.

THE STRATEGY IS AND EVEN THE PRACTICALITY OF HAVING ALL YOUR BASES COVERED SAYS THAT WE NEED TO BE LIVING IN AN ENVIRONMENT AND IN SUCH A WAY AS  BEING SELF SUSTAINING, SELF CONTAINED SO THAT YOU AND YOURS CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT ANYONE ELSES HELP OTHER THAN GOD ALMIGHTY AND EACH OTHER.

We need to gather together as families just like they did in the old days when this country was in the process of being settled pooling our talents and resources and especially renewing our love and devotion to one another.

We can build these earth ships that are self sustaining like a few communities out in New Mexico, where they rely on Solar, and wind to produce electricity, heating and cooling, sanitation, etc.   They even live in the desert but are able to produce their own fresh water through solar condensation, they grow their own food and not only is this a good idea for survival needs, but it is being good stewards of our planet and wise use of our monies that we are not having to spend money for water, electric, sanitation unhealthy food...

The great thing about these Earth Ships that I mentioned is the fact that they used mostly items from the garbage for building materials, Old tires, Plastic bottles, glass jars, Plain old dirt and rocks. 

What an awesome way to begin this adventure and begin to live out this vision that God has inspired in me for family first and then organizing ourselves into a Genuine New Testament Church That teaches, nurtures and loves our children, loves our neighbors, and our planet, and demonstrates to a world in great need by the things that we do, and the way that we live that we most importantly love the Lord our God with all our heart soul mind and body.   Then they will be able to hear what we say because they see the truth of it in our lives, And they will experience it firsthand because God will bless and provide in the same way that He did with the loaves and fishes where we have what we need and plent more left over to share with all of those within our watchcare and responsibility.

This is only the tip of the iceburg of this vision and inspiration that God has birthed in me and in this vision I see every member of my family being used in mighty fashions to be a part of this exciting opportunities that we have right in front of us...

I will share so much more in my next post coming very soon....I've got to go spend some time with my little Lexie Princess.   The greatest joy of this Papaws heart is spending time with my babies.

Excitedly in his service today

Brother Michael
