You call me out upon the waters. WALK ON WATER..

"you call me out upon the waters. THE GREAT UNKNOWN.. where feet may fail."

...wow... These are the beginning words of OCEANS (where feet may fail) a song about walking on water.

FATHER just showed me a 'hard teaching'.

Sitting in the joy of 'departing for ministry service'.. my niece Suzanne leaving her life and going to Africa and to training. No home to return to. Remembering those who have taken their 'transformation vacation', but have merely gone back to 'church as usual', ignorant of how to maintain the 'Singles-power-ministry' for the benefit of the families. Ignorant of the command for joyful, closed confession and communion... Casual about 'disgrace coming to the men' and 'because of the angels' commands in 'hearing the HolySpirit...

We all qualify as 'rich people'. we do. We could 'walk away and start all over again' here in America, and 'build an empire' from a homeless shelter... just from 'available resources'.

YESHUA, son of God spoke to a 'rich person'

'Called the rich young ruler "out upon the waters" (!!) and what did the man do? he refused.

why?

because he loved his

.....'love of God & his 'personal religion-performance' more than God..more than the 'voice of the Son of God'.

James, the half-brother of Jesus says this... "If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them."

Father PRESSED me, and said 'the omissive sins' and the refusal to be 'true church' in line with his Son's teaching.. this is a CALLING OUT UPON THE WATERS.

It is very very 'easy' to use our assets to 'take spiritual vacations' where 'God stuff' is going on....

And actually continue to REFUSE to 'walk on the waters of obedience to the Apostles Teaching' ...for a lifetime. It is easier to help train people to RAISE THE DEAD IN THE NAME OF JESUS than it is to train them to 'tell on themselves' and 'admit their faults' and their 'hidden life'...!! Herein lies the 'missing instructions of Christ, that keep the men and the kids and the 'addict' in us SAFE... ARE YOU WILLING TO WALK ON THE WATERS OF SHAME AND DISCOMFORT? ...BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME SO MUCH..? -says YHVH Spirit of Lovingkindness.

Men. Trustworthy men. Willing to die. Starve.

Willing to present the uncomfortable truths....

Willing to demand regular honesty 'in family'

'in public church settings'

Willing to speak the prophetic words that say

'NO'... 'Wrong'..to do the greatest service of 'maintenance of the Revival that has never stopped..

as Nathan said to David. 'you have done evil'.

2 Timothy 2:2....

Where are the strong?

and who are the trusted?

and where is the harmony... sweet harmony...??

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. 17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.

oh Father, help us apply action to those things that we 'could do' but are unwilling...

this 'walking on the waters' in the ORDINARY things..

the 'expectations of Christ'. Cheerfully facing the 'uncomfortable truths of Christ' in ordinary church-and-family.

in perfect obedience...

this is the hardest work.
