Once upon a troubled time, in an era of political focus,

the clamor of or change in the leadership of a nation, the

eyes of the influential turned toward the never-been-done.

Now is the time for a black president, now is the new era

for a woman in power, now is the time to change the

institution of marriage and proclaim that it could be anything

that is different: 2 men, 2 women or, who knows, maybe

3 or 4 or 6 together without limits. Who has the right to

make moral judgment? Who needs morality? At such

a time, in such a materialistic nation that defines the

success of any person or organization -- God sent a

few radical believers to dot the land with a fresh message.

It is not what you have that defines you. It is not what

you know that identifies you. It is not your possessions

that reveal you. It is not your money that sustains you.

From deep within the hearts of these chosen few the call

goes out to listen to the words of a man who claimed to be

the Son Of God, a man who during his 30s presented such

a radical message of lifestyle change that he actually

stated: "If you are not ready to give up everything for me;

then, you are not ready to be my disciple." (Luke 14:33).

These chosen messengers sold all, gave away their

material "security," submitted themselves to daily provisions,

and began to go forward in the power of God, being

strengthened by joy of the Lord Jesus Christ. They stepped

into the daily glory of God and asked Him to be their Lord,

Savior, and comforter. Now, they stay attentive every minute

to see what their glorious God will do next. Who will He

send to them to be inspired and reflect upon this King of

Glory who promises to return here from Heaven to

receive those who have submitted to Him? One at a time

they speak about the provision of our great God and

savior Jesus Christ. They let people know how much God

loves them. He willingly gave up everything for us. He

gave His most cherished only begotten son who died so

we may live eternally.

In a park, on a beach, in the path of the wind and sun and

rain, rising tides, burning sand, darkness of night, heat of day,

they wait on their great God to supply their every need.

Their great awe maximum God who never leaves or

forsakes them, actually speaks to them daily. He tells them

to wait for His surprises: "When you have a need, present

it to me, go where I send you today, open your eyes

and ears, pray for the sick, comfort the poor, save the lost,

encourage the weak, love the unlovable, lift up the holy

name of Jesus Christ, whose name is above all names.

Every need will be provided as you seek first my kingdom."

The person who gave you this message is one who follows

the radical lifestyle of our most loving but radical teacher

and Creator of the earth in which we live and the creator

of the heavens to which we aspire. Come fellowship with

them and be encouraged by the simple purity of their

Jesus walk. Be changed by the faith they profess, the faith

walk they possess. God will touch your heart in a

powerful way!
