MOMENTS
OF REVELATION,
FIRE STORM DOWN UNDER & WORLD CLASS LEADERS
EDITORIAL – DEFINING
MOMENTS OF REVELATION
“Greater than the death of flesh, is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril, we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation.”
INTRODUCTION You
would expect that the quote above would have come from some ancient script of
wisdom. Profound as it may be, it is actually from a script for the popular
sci-fi series, ‘ PERILOUS
TIMES? Hopes
and dreams transcend generations, but there is much that could discourage us
right now considering the world's condition.
We have nuclear threats from North Korea, imminent war with Iraq,
and the tragic loss of the space shuttle with its precious cargo of seven souls,
to name just a few of the world’s present woes. Since 9/11, it
has been one thing after another and we certainly don’t need any
more complications, but the temptation could be to get into navel-gazing mode
and to lose sight of our dreams. WATERED
BY DREAMS This
is not the best environment for dreams to flourish, but spiritual life can be
even hardier than natural life, popping up and even prospering in the most
unlikely conditions. SETTING
THE PACE Every
year here in America, we remember
Martin Luther King’s birthday with a national holiday, but perhaps we have
forgotten one of the most profound things he ever said, "There was a time
when the church was very powerful. It was during that period when the early
Christians rejoiced when they were deemed worthy to suffer for what they
believed. In those days the church was not merely a thermometer that recorded
the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that
transformed the mores of society..." The western church needs a
vision-infusion so it can be revived back to its former strength and regain its
commission of transforming society,
instead of just sitting on the sideline and watching the world go by to
perdition. We are called to set the pace, not follow behind the blind!
TAKING
THE PLUNGE Moments
of revelation take place when we recognize that
“I
am convinced and sure of this very thing that He Who began a
good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ (right up to
the time of His return). Developing (that good work) and perfecting and bringing
it into full completion in you.”
(Philippians 1:6 AMP) #
FEEDBACK…
“Jeff - I just wanted to say thanks for the continued newsletters. [The Editorial: “What Lies Beneath…” FMI Report Dec. ‘02] hit home, as I am facing some tough decisions right now. The easy way would be to turn my back on or postpone the desires deep in my heart; the hard would be to go ahead in faith as the path would be narrow and rocky indeed. I am praying and looking to Him for guidance and waiting on Him for direction. Your December newsletter has reminded me that God did not give me a spirit of fear and to cast all my care on Him. It also reminds me that the hard way here on earth is what is necessary, as the enemy is not one of kindness but one of cruelty and I would rather face the enemy with Jesus by my side then face my heavenly Father and be like vomit before Him. My Father continues to impact me, challenge me and mould me. It excites me to no end as I learn, at times in the most unusual ways. My love to you all. Your sister in Christ, Alison Gilmore, Australia." "Dear
Jeff,

When
we
canceled our first vacation in six years due to my mother's passing last
September,
Pastor Steve Barnard of
Metro
Church, San Diego responded
by offering Heather and I an all expenses paid vacation in San Diego, California
for a week in the beautiful Loews
Coronado Resort.
This was a much needed break for us having been pretty hard at it (to say the
least) over the last four years settling into our new life and ministry here in
the Northeast of America. The beautiful California weather also gave us a
welcome break from the Northeastern winter. Many just say, "God bless you -
we're praying for you," but we wish to publicly thank Pastor Steve,
Executive Pastors Andrea
and Susan Giorgi and
their church, for their practical blessing and love to us. We were rested and
refreshed! We
also ministered in three wonderful services on the Sunday.
