What You Have To Offer

As we often say at Beloved, “We live in the most glorious times ever!”

I will let you in on a little bit of what goes on in your leadership team. We spend a good portion of our time together rejoicing in the victory all of us are experiencing in every part of our family. We are vested in finding ways that we can shepherd you all deeper in Him, the way Jesus and the disciples shepherded and discipled those that they served. With that said, we are very diligent to use our God-given wisdom and His Word as we walk this journey out together as a family in these ever-quickly-changing times, standing in the victory that we have on this side of the cross.

Ephesians 2:20 TPT
You are rising like the perfectly fitted stones of the temple: and your lives are being built up together upon the ideal foundation laid by the the apostles and prophets, and best of all you are connected to the Head Cornerstone of the building, the Anointed One, Jesus Christ himself!

Beloved, that’s us!!!

I’m so very honored and blessed to have been called to this body, for a time such as this, affecting and infecting the world in which we live in very radical, dramatic ways and with the simple gospel message and the revelations of how to walk this out. We, as a family, are called to be the healthiest, wealthiest, and most influential body in the region. I, for one, believe that the fruits of our body are proving that we are indeed walking out that word from the Lord with our actions and hearts.

The body of Christ is needed now in ways that I thought I would never see. The world is being mislead in so many ways, and on so many different fronts at the same time, all leading to the same place — fear, death, and destruction. I would caution us all that we can be taken right into that very vortex of news and events that are happening in the world, and thereby lose sight or focus on the main thing, Jesus, and on being His beautiful church bride. The voices of the false prophets are everywhere, screaming from the rooftops, trying to stop us or distract us from seeking our Lord’s Kingdom above all else.

2Timothy 2:4 TPT
For every soldier called to active duty must divorce himself from the distractions of this world so that he may fully satisfy the one who chose him.

This is one of the many tensions that we must navigate as followers of Christ living in this fallen world today. We are so very blessed to have a family of like-minded believers with whom we walk this journey in unity to learn from, to edify, to help, or to serve in any way that we are gifted and called to do.

Hebrews 13:1 CEV
Keep being concerned about each other as the Lord’s followers should. 

As we all learn together how to have a culture that mirrors what our Lord desires it to be, I would encourage us all to be more purposeful about meeting the needs in our family and equally as important the needs of those that the Lord has cross our paths. This Kingdom concept is absolutely foreign to most, yet it is a big part of our culture and who we are becoming. The Lord blesses the saints so that we may, in turn, bless others.

2 Corinthians 9:8 CEV
God can bless you with everything you need, and you will always have more than enough to do all kinds of good things for others.

Today, Beloved, I pray that we would all begin to receive deeper revelation with regard to how and with what resources and actions we can bless each other and those who cross our paths, in order to bring them into the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I truly love this journey that we are on together serving our King, Beloved, and I know that I know that the best is yet to come!!!

It is with great anticipation I’m looking forward to being with you all very soon and to testifying to what the Lord is showing us!

In His grace and love,
Pastor Bob Lindquist
