Acts 13 churches needed today!

Acts 13:1-3(KJV) 1Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.


There seems to be a lot of learning opportunities with classes, conferences, studies etc. but where are the praying Spirit lead churches of today. Is there any less need for the guidance of the Spirit today?
With all of the predictors and false things of all sorts out there we need the Spirit of truth who knows the real will of God to help us more today than ever.
I would call all who read this to prayer for the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into His harvest everywhere!

God bless you richly!

Life Cycles

Gleanings from the Garden

As a person observes what a garden does, they cannot help but see how everything has its own time for its life cycle or season.

A time to be planted – covered.

A time to spring up – breaking through.

A time to grow – strengthening.

A time to bloom – a fragrance released.

A time to produce fruit (if fruit is a part of it) - productivity.

A time to complete its life cycle – dying.

There is such a thing as the fullness of time when all things are just right to bring forth the plan of God that is locked up within each seed, each plant, each bird, each critter each person and it is just the right time.

Galatians 4:4 says to us concerning Christ, - But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law.

If things seem to be in a holding pattern in your life, if nothing seems to be coming together, wait on the Lord. There is that “fullness of time” for your life. Like a seed planted in the ground and out of sight for a while. There are some great mysteries taking place in you until the time that you are brought forth to be seen and enjoyed because of who you have been becoming during the covered over time. Great mysteries make for great reading……God makes everything beautiful in its time………You are an epistle to be read of all men.

Ecclesiastes 3:1(KJV)1 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

God bless!
