Change--The Pathway through Transition

2008 was filled with mulitple political campaigns calling for change--a new day, a new approach, a new path. Yet, 2009 leaves us with only the litter of buy-outs and pay-offs on the proposed pathway to new vision for this country.

I'm not settled in certainty as to how the next ten years will play out for the United States of America but I do have clear direction that changes are in store for Higher Praise Church--and that is not a campaign promise it is an unction from God.

I can't escape it... Change is inevitable. We are not who we once were. As a fellowship of believers our purpose has been re-directed for the better and now that change must be communicated directly and effectively to our community.

Its not yet 2010 and already several elements of transition have been put into play behind the scenes. April 2010, will mark a pivotal moment for us as we move into the new facility and I believe it is imperative that we not wait until then to make changes, but rather we must make preparation now.

Be forewarned that change is not always fun and it's definitely not always easy. It could also be said that change is not necessarily always for the better. These truths alone lead me to ere on the side of caution. We will not make changes simply for the sake of doing something different. We have been and will continue to seek God's will and follow His leading. The result will then have no choice but to be productive as we embrace the reality that sometimes change is as simple as exerting the uncomfortable effort of casting your nets on the other side of the boat. It may not even seem that much different but the truth is, that in such moments, man's good idea is replaced by a God idea. It's amazing to me how a simple act of obedience can open up the realm of the supernatural--especially in the area of provision.

Buckle up! We are about to take the ride of our lives as we trailblaze a path into the unknown. It will feel risky at times, but if God be for you, then who can be against you?

Through the wilderness of transition, we will travel the pathway of change in the vehicle of radical obedience, fueled by recognition of the purpose our Heavenly Father has designed us to accomplish...

I can't wait to see the other side!
