Courage to take risks that bring hope to others

"You cannot cross the ocean, until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore."

- Christopher Columbus

author and finisher

last week I had an amazing miracle happen, that is important to document. God has recently been teaching how be sure that I am "resting" in Him. So that my business decisions and personal life flow within his place of provision.

One aspect of this is that He is the author (or initiator) of ideas and/or direction. So 1 week ago on monday I sat in this very same coffee shop contemplating if my idea for the next day was in fact authored by God, or be me. We (VisionAir) had an opportunity to fly to the midwest using a clients plane to provide free air transportation to people needing medical care in other cities. I sent an email to our friends that Pastor in Tulsa and asked if they would be interested in helping with the operational costs associated wit the trip. They said yes, but with no guarantees. So After praying, we agreed to take the risk and believe God to come through. This was the worst possible time to ask this church for help as well as the worst possible time for VisionAir to take a financial risk, but we knew in our hearts it was authored in heaven, so off we went. in three days we moved 12 yr old Jacob and his mom for Cleft lip and palet treatment (Tulsa-Houston) we moved Bobby who is dying from pancreatic and liver cancer (Waco, TX - Tulsa.) The next Day we moved Jeff and his wife from Little Rock, AK to Houston for Lung Cancer treatment, he has only one lung and was in bad shape. Then finally we were able bring 10 yr old Skyler and his family from East Texas (Longview) to Denver for life saving spine surgery. God came through his people that go to Destiny Church in Tulsa. they gave more than enough to cover the operating cost of the entire trip. The whole trip was a testimony to the goodness and provision of Papa God. Even how the schedule came together to move everyone was a logistical miracle.

When God trusts us enough to experience a supernatural event, we must realize that we then have a expectation put on us by our loving Father to believe for more of the same. We are not to endeavor to replicate or deduce the experience to a formula. We are, however expected to function at a new level of Faith so that our family as well as those that we have the opportunity to influence will come into contact with God's supernatural love. He is after all called the God of the Impossible. Therefore, spiritual growth happens when we accomplish something "impossible" with Him. No matter if it is simple Bible reading, prayer, or participating in church. The purpose of the connections with God is to lead us into a tangible experience. Knowledge of God is not enough in and of itself, and ind act can be destructive. It is meant to lead us into an encounter with the creator, the author, the finisher of all that is GOOD. So please be sure to Come to Him, learn of Him, REST in Him, so that He may author and finish the great work that He has already started in you. He really can take care of you in such an impossible way that He will simultaneously also change the lives of others through your steps of obedience.

Yah God!! Moved 4 families 5,000 miles, at no cost to them. Trip cost $5,000. all the money came in, and lives were changed. Bring the Kingdom, and stop trying to do it on your own.
