Strong Tower
For the past month we have been tarring down the frame work and walls to an old building to make room for a new building to be built called Strong Tower. With a vision being driven by a passion to further the kingdom; Pastor Arnoldo hears and follows the Lords voice without hesitation. This building is to be a place fueled by the desire to raise up disciples and a retreat center to fuel a fire inside the Lord’s people. A place to fed by all who are hungry.
All month I have been asking the Lord what good are we doing here other than serving with our hands and feet. Lord how are we suppose to further your kingdom with out sharing your kingdom to the people. We are in the country side away from civilization! All though I love serving, I question if we are really making an impact on this community.
Then I heard the Lord speak, “ A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps” Proverbs 16:9. He continued by saying, “ Do not remember past events, pay no attention to the things of old. Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the dessert” Isaiah 43:18-19. Then it hit me we are making way for the something new. He has raised up a man of faith to carry out His plan and part of His plan was for us to come build on what the Lord had envisioned.
Pastor Arnoldo confirmed that these people don’t know how to serve or work for free. That we could be an example of fruit. This changed my perception on Missions. Our mission is not to see the fruit our mission is to be the fruit and in that God gets all the glory!
Do you question God’s hand when you can’t see the direction of His feet?
