Followers (of Christ),
You might be right,...if you ever thought of us as hypocrites, otherwise known as being human. We are no better than you, loss of words humbles us. Stress and worry hit us right when we went to write this blog....writers block set in real bad. We thought about dropping the Bible on the table to see what page it would open up to and then conjure the spirit of God up into a well written piece. Night before we even pray, asking God to give us the words to say. It didn't come in like a mist wave, or a power laden field of cool energetic wind blowing through our hair if you have ever experienced the power of the Holy Spirit's inter-galactic and inter-dimensional whispers anointing upon you to know what we mean that you too are called of us for the stand to testify of Jesus Christ. No blinding flash of light or double dose of caffeine induced thoughts...the religious and social activist whiz kids died at the keyboard with nothing to say, with just a pulse of stress and worry as the blog writers minds... still, drew blanks. Except for stress and worry.
We worry, we stress, we wonder if we will meet our goals of being able to help people like a real ministry the way Christ commanded. Blogs alone don't do it. Action, love and care does. Funds to even be a 5013(c) official thing seem so far away as we pound key boards in faith and patience seeming to go nowhere wondering where, when or how basic amounts of operating expenses could ever happen. Still, we know we are called, and guided, and have to be humbled at times by the very God we claim to want to promote to our fellow humans. Ministries are like humans, and humans are like ministries...they feel pressure, stress, worry....expectations to perform and do something that uplifts, helps, heals, shields, protects and is there for people in getting Gods word out to the world. Many dreams, plans, ambitions...idle, idle, idle as we want to go, go go. Hurry, yet wait...it's hard to do both at the same time.
Then as we struggled for the words about what we speak of, having stress, worry...we know we are no more hypocritical than you. It clicked in the middle of writing this even, that "stress", "worry" is the very thing God was trying to have us write about as it shows up in his words about a hundred times. Especially the region we write from that is economically impoverished despite "economic recovery"...so opposite of the worlds perceptions of America, and fire dangers loom in all our faces in Colorado and mid-west we wonder if we will still even be around. Want something to worry about? We have no shortage of worry, or stress....only lack of Gods words studied...even on the mountain top of Mountain Majesties Ministries we, like some of you, sometimes forget how to ask God for his words to say and directions to take, it simply means we are human like you and all others in the whole planet who need Gods words...
Back To Basics, Waiting On And Then Getting God (His Kingdom Is Coming)
We have noticed there is a pattern about God. He likes his people, including the ministries they create under his will, to have patience, and reliance on him.We asked God what to write about, and we worried...waiting on the Lord. Yet, the English word "worry" from Old English wyrgan and Old High German wurgen, both meaning "to strangle, to choke". That is how we felt ...we felt strangled and choked of words suppressing our own will and waiting on Gods will, waiting on God to speak from the Bible. We bit our lip, like the Lithuanian girl pictured, until we saw God speaking through his word in the Bible, and the he gave us the go ahead with the following to say as coming from him....
Psalm 37:1-7 - "Fret not yourself...trust in the Lord...trust in Him"
We realized, the pressure to perform unto God and help one another, is nothing new, but really, is just the daily grind of getting our hearts set right with God. 2 Corinthians 11:28 - "the daily pressure upon me of concern for all the churches",...and do we in America really understand what it means that it is upon us, to share the word to all the world? Forever, even after we are someday judged or fall from greatness, or just keep going for decades more until the nuclear rubble surviving type of people have lost their way and those few survivors come back with his words all over again anew? The world still looks, listens and waits on the words from America not for our ego or pride, but how well we in America listen to his words or not. Billy Graham is gone,...but it's you now. No superheroes, just folks sharing God.
With actions picking up in Sryia, Iran, North Korea...and Israel, as they will for awhile the world faces anxiety, worry, stress, yet even then,...his words still stand after all that to come. His words, his plans....mean something to the whole world sitting on the edge of their seats. Caliphates, babylons,...empires....byek.
Even if you personally or we as a nation are being judged in time to come...that when sharing Gods words,...there is no worry, no stress, it is he who speaks, and as is now: Matthew 10:19, 20 - "do not be anxious about how or what you will speak...it is not you who speaks, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you".
Worry of what to say or do only exist, where God is not allowed to exist. We worried, as we waited, and then his message came to us clear as we gained focus to his words. It is not our own words to share, just letting Gods words already spoken being heard. It is that simple, as you head into your work week ahead,...pause internally for just about 3 seconds at various points to refresh and to re-find that center point inside of you to wait on the words from God as you remember YOU are a ministry of your own to all you come in contact with. Give God your keyboard, your phone, your smartphone and let it be him who shares and speaks of his words through you to the world.Wait, listen, read, share. It is when you personally are at a loss of words, can you empower through humility and can God take over and you become the supercharged ministry point of his light and love that you are...
Worry is just waiting on his words, and this song helps us to realize even the sparrow knows.
Blessings,
MMM

| Looking to Gods words...biting ones lip can be a physical manifestation of worry. Yet, the Bible was written for this very thing, seeking not reliance on ones own ways and words and failed religions of the world, but that of our worlds heavenly father who speaks to us all in the words of Jesus Christ. We do not need to speak,...HE already has.-* |
