So here I am today, home at L.I.F.E. church as my spiritual family and the community I’ve decided to stay connected with since August of 2019. It’s been a beautiful journey and it only keeps getting better. I’m realizing more and more recently that my spirit immmediately got the revelation from God on the path I am to take, but my soul was catching up with the understanding. Alot of times, the understanding takes awhile to manifest for many reason, but often it is our agreement “Yes and Amen” our TRUST = REST in God in all manner, no matter what that His plans for our lives is perfect, complete, lacking nothing.

I’m encouraged though that finally I’ve come to an agreement that I’ve chosen, decided and I am staying connected with this family and community of light, love, and life! A month ago a friend invited me to visit a church with her. The previous week I invited her to visit that particular church but we ended up not going. This time I decided not to go and she said, she understands being where I should be.
My response, “It’s not about where I should be, Its a choice I’ve made!“

You are made for intimate friendships!

If you are at home in the confines of your house but not connected to a local church community where it is a home to engage in spiritual life with people in real time then please hear me! I’m encouraging you today to reach out and allow your heart to be enlightened to the value of a spiritual family, community and to stay connected. In this day of age (as I myself have), it is easy to plug in to a church through youTube, facebook or any social media of choice, watch a variety of options for connection, which are all in good intention. However, virtual engagement and involvement can not beneficially and effectively replace tangible connections and engagement. It is not meant to! It’s a supliment and yes intent is to keep you connected. However, you are more disconnected that when you started because its motivation is not rooted in building friendships. Although, friendships and intimacy do and can come out of that medium.

In my opinion, other means for connecting to a church body other than physically being present to connect with spiritual and physical being is not as fruitful, but it does keep you busy! I believed that it is in shaking hands, eye contacts, hugs, reciprocated smiles, the vibration of sound through a human voice and live music in the ambiance, and the atmosphere of a group of people with the intention of sychronicity and one heart focus for a duration of time in and to worhip the living God, connecting with the body of Jesus Christ is where life flows. This is a huge part of staying present to today, heart fully engaged with life and bearing fruit 30 – 60 – 100 fold that will last throughout eternity. You can have many reasons today and they may be if not all, are valid as to why you may feel it is not necessary. Lean closer friends, you are made for connections and as far as your heart is willing to go, for deep intimate friendships.

Living.In.Fullness.Everyday

L.I.F.E. church stands for Living, In, Fullness, Everyday.
I love that! God speaks to me in acronyms and how fun that L.I.F.E. means that.

What does it mean to live in fullness?
To me in starts with knowing you are three part being with spirit, soul, and body. All three parts of me need to be filled and consumed to be charazterize as living in fulness and everyday is the choice where the free will of man is exercise.

What exactly do I want to be in fullness of?
We probably cannot all agree in what we want to be filled and consumed by. I personally want to be filled and consumed by God.

What does that look like?
The bible says that when you receive the gospel of Christ and accept the free gift of His salvation, your spirit then becomes reborn. Your born again spirit is the very place where the Spirit of God dwells. That’s union, a new covenant between God and man. Which means my spirit is already in fullness. My soul is that part of everyday exercising my free will and choosing to live in the fullness of God. That is in my intent thoughts of Him and emotionally engaging to His presence. My body then is the natural response and a visual manifestation of what is truly happening in my soul. That is intimate frienship with God. What are those conversations like? As I think of God, emotionally engaging with Him and choosing His ways, it is then seen in my action in response to people all around me.

The cry of humanity…

…the deepest desire of the heart and longing of the soul is to be fully naked and unshamed and to be completely known. It is with God also! He desires that He would be known intimately by His creation through an intimate and eternal friendship. You can know someone by knowledge, seeing them from a distant, being aware of things around their presence, but you truly only know a persons heart in closeness and nearness. Spending quality time with them. Face to face, intimately sharing hearts, intent thoughts, and emotionally responding to their presence.
This starts with your response to the call of God to come home to Him and it can begin today. 

I bless you in your search for home, to choose to stay connected!
