Shower Blog 5

Seated in heavenly places. Always.

Heaven is not moved by need, otherwise Haiti would be in perfect shape by now. I would have $1 million dollars, and there would be no poverty in the world.

Heaven is moved by faith.

Anytime i digress and start praying because of a need that has come up, be it financial, relational, spiritual, physical, mental, educational...... I will not be moved by need to pray. I will let my problem face God. I live out of the abundance of heaven. I am not impressed by any kind of lack.

I live as a steward of abundance and hope. Not as a steward of need and fear.

Shower Blog 4

The greatest is love.

I can't afford to forget the basics.

I am a river. A constant flowing in, a constant pouring out. Just like when you're draining water using a hose, it's the water the flows out that causes a draw/demand on the water source to replace what was lost. Relationship, finances, stewardship, teaching, the prophetic, gifts, etc. Stewardship is just the label for the effect of how a river is supposed to work.

Up to this point i haven't really lived with this reality, I've been bottling some things up, creating a dead, rotting pond, instead of a life-giving river (John 7:38).

It's also interesting how, when rivers are moving, they erode the ground that carries the water, and it gradually gets deeper and deeper, becoming more and more capable to move more water.
