اسبحك بقلب اشتهى حضورك

اسبح واسبح واسبح ... واجرى واقفز ويداى فى يداك على جبل صهيون .. لا ارى من حولى .. ولا اعى افكارهم عن هويتى ... انت وحدك مددت يدك المجروحة ومسكت بيدى وهى مهشمة لا تقوى على شىء ... هناك على جبل صهيون وبين يداك تقوت يداى وعادت الحياة الى الاعصاب والخلايا التى ماتت ودفنت فى قبور لا يمكن ان تصلها قدم بشر .. من هناك مددت يداك ومسكت يدى واخرجتى لاعود الى الحياة .. وقلت لى انه زمنك زمن الحب .. كل ما فسد فى وعائك اعود واصنعه من جديد بحسب ما يحسن فى عينى ..فتصيرى كاملة ببهائى وتصيرى الجميلة التى تصلح لمملكتى .. لا انسى عهدى معك ايام صباك.. انا الرب تكلمت وفعلت .. انا عرفت فى البرية فى ارض العطش انا القدوس الموجود فى وسطك وبدمى جعلتك هيكلا بحضورى .. من يد الهاوية ومن بين خيوط العينكبوت فديتك .. واخطبك لنفسى الى الابد اخطبك لنفسى بالعدل والحق والاحسان والمراحم .. اخطبك لنفسى بالامانة فتعرفين من هو سيد الارض كلها .. المصلوب الجالس على العرش..
اسبح واقفز .. اهتف .. البوق فى قلبى وليس فى لسانى .. بوقى يقول:

"اسبحك بقلب اشتهى حضورك واعبدك ربى للمنتهى"

من جبل صهيون .. الى البحر الزجاجى الخارج من عرشك... اسير بقلب يسجد فى خطوة .. وتنحنى فى نفسى كل مشاعرى امام جلالك وانت الذى كنت بيننا مصلوبا مجروحا بلا جمال ولا منظر نشتهيه ... وحينما تمتد يداك لتلمسنى تملائنى بجمال القداسة المشع من امامك .. لا جد فى قلبى طلبه ولا عوز ولا شهوة .. ليس احتياج لشىء اطلبه الا الوجود فى حضرتك عند اقدامك .. ادخل اختبىء تحت اذيلك .. واخرج لالعب مع ملائكتك امام عرشك ...

لو لم تسبحك نفسى فى ارض التوهان .. فمتى اسبح؟
لو لم اثق فيك فى زمن وارض التوهان فمتى اقدم ثقتى واسكن عند اقامك فى صمت وامان؟؟

عصفور فيلادلفيا

عصفور فيلادلفيا .. اعلم ان قوتك قليلة وانك فقدت ريشك الجميل وكُسرت عظام اجنحتك فلم يعد لك القوة لتقوم وتفتح باب لنفسك ..لكن امامى انك حفظت كلمتى .. حفظت كلمة صبرا ..سيعلم الجميع انك محبوب وانى انا القدوس وحدى قد احببتك .. سافتح لك الباب لتجد الحياة تنتظرك خلفه ... الحياة التى بحسب قلبى انا ومشيئتى وليست بحسب العالم وفكره ... انا وحدى الذى املك مفتاح داود وليس غيرى اعلم هذا جيدا ... انا الذى افتح وانا من يغلق ولا يفتح احد ورائى ... اغلقت خلفك ابواب الظلم والقهر ... فلن تُفتح مرة اخرى .. وافتح امامك ابواب الحياة .. من ذا الذى يقول فيكون وانا لم اقل ... الست انا الذى وصعت للبحر حدا فلن يتعداه ..

ساصونك واحميك واحفظك فى ساعة التجربة العتيدة ... فى ساعة التجربة العتيدة تسقط الاقنعة ويسقط معها من تقسى قلبه خلفها ... علمت انك لم تنكر اسمى حتى وانت فى ارض التوهان حيث حيات وعقارب ... تمسك بما تركته فى داخلك من الحياة والقوة والنور والرجاء حتى لا يسلب احد اكليلك منك ... غلبه صبرك وانتظرك ستجعل منك عمود ثابت فى هيكلى وليس من قوة تستطيع ان تخرجك فستكون فى الداخل ... امام عرشى دائما

عمود ثابت فى هيكلى وليس من قوة تستطيع ان تخرجك

لاتخف مجمع الشيطان لا تخف من من كل لسان اخذ من الاكاذيب ترس وستر من بدلوا مجدهم بالرماد ... اصب وانتظر حضورى ... لانى انا احببتك ... سيسمعونك قؤيبا وانت تغنى بمراحمى ..وسيعلمون انى انا اقطع العهد مع مختارى ولا تسقط عهودى من جيل الى جيل ... انت تسكن تحت جناحى وحقى يحيط بك كترس لا يقهر ...ملائكتى من حولك يحرسوك فى كل تركك .. فى ارض التوهان ان لم ترى عين ثمرك ونموك وازدهارك فانظر انت داخلك ستجده .. لا تجف نفسك وتذبل .. بل بالدسم والخضرة تحيا اعماقك ...

انا هو يهوه القدوس الجالس على الكروبيم ... سترى كل اقاصى الارض ذراعى وما تفعله يمينى ....انا هو الحافظ نفوس اتقيائى من يد الاشرار انقذهم فيفرحون ويسجدون امامى فى جمال القداسة ...

• Leaders can oftentimes find themselves in a leadership slump.
• Leaders move people from here to there.
• Leaders must be able to move people from a current reality (here) to a preferred future (there).
• Some people are oftentimes going to be satisfied with “here.”
• People oftentimes like it “here”… they don’t like the idea of going “there.”
• There’s familiarity and safety “here.”
• What do you do when people say they are staying “here”?
• Crank up the heat and show them what life will look like over “there.”
• The first play is not to make “there” sound wonderful, but to make “here” sound awful.
• You have to convince people why staying “here” is a bad idea.
• Before Martin Luther King Jr gave his “I Have a Dream” speech he gave hundreds of speeches that could have been considered “We Can’t Stay Here” speeches.
• People were ready for the “there” speech because they had heard the “here” speech many times before.
• Your God-given job is not to preside over something, our job is to figure out what God wants to get done, what role you play in it and move something or someone from here to there.
• Our job is convince people that we cannot and will not stay here.
• Staying here breaks the heart of God.
• Your God-given job is not to preserve something from its gradual demise.
• By God’s grace, with His power and for His glory, we are moving people there.

Team Building

• It takes fantastic people to move a church or an organization from here to there.
• You can’t do it alone.
• One of the greatest joys of leadership is assembling and knitting together teams of fantastic people.
• Teams are the catalyst of moving people from here to there.

The 3 “C’s” of Team Building… with a new “C”

• When building teams we typically look for CHARACTER, COMPETENCY and CHEMISTRY.
• We need to add a new “C”: CULTURE.
• We need to ask what kind of person flourishes in our unique culture?
• We’ve started asking, “What do we value? What works for us and what doesn’t?”
• A fundamental goal of leadership is to attract, develop and retain a team of fantastic people that will flourish in your unique culture.
• We want to make a disproportionate investment in your talents and abilities.
• Telling people that they’re valuable to your organization is life-changing.

Challenge

• We have a holy challenge of assembling, developing and inspiring a team of fantastic people without whom we could never get from here to there.
• Do you see this as a leadership fundamental?
• Do you view the assembling of fantastic people a privilege?
• Have you defined your culture?
• Are there sensitive conversations you need to have?

Mile Markers and Celebrations

• How do you encourage people to stay on the journey?
• Where on the journey are people most vulnerable on the journey from “here” to “there”?
• The whole vision gets imperiled in the middle of the journey.
• It’s not the first three or four miles that are a challenge in running a marathon, or the last few [because the end is in sight], it’s the miles in-between that it’s difficult.
• Circumstances can hinder momentum.
• People forget how bad it was “here” and how wonderful it will be when they get “there.”
• Refill people’s vision buckets regularly.
• Vision leaks.
• Celebrate every mile-marker you possibly can on the way to the destination.
• Create mile-markersarbitrarily if you need to.
• What keeps people on the journey is some sense of hope that they are going to get there someday.
• Turn set-backs into celebrations.
• Any headway in the right direction is progress.
• There is a 40% differential between in the productivity of an inspired teammate, church member, office worker, etc … and one who is uninspired.
• Jesus monitored the inspiration level in His followers and breathe life into them when he saw that it was waning
• He knew that inspiration matters.
• When is the last time you threw a party to celebrate not just the destination, but the mile markers along the way of getting there?

Whispers from God

• You can never get from “here” to “there” in a straight line.
• You never amass fantastic people or make much progress on the journey without hearing from God en route.
• The primary way God speaks to us is through the Bible.
• Be a regular relentless reader of the word of God
• God speaks to us directly by His Spirit.
• John 10:17 … “my sheep will hear my voice…”
• We may never hear an audible voice but He puts thoughts in our minds that are not our thoughts.
• Follow those urges and those promptings.
• Do you believe that God still speaks today?
• We can’t live out a script that other people have for our lives.
• God’s whisper is enough.
• God tries to speak to us every single day.
• We need to lower the ambient noise in our lives to receive and hear what God is speaking to us.
• We will never have to do this alone… God with us all the time, everywhere.
• Will you do everything your power to hear God’s voice and heed it?
• We would see incredible changes in leadership all around the world if we’d be willing to listen to the whispers of God.
• The smartest moves we make in leadership don’t come from our own wisdom but from wisdom that is not our own.
• There’s no telling what God might do if you listen to God’s whispers and heed them.

Some Whispers You May Be Hearing

• Don’t Quit,
• Step Up
• Apologize
• Make the Tough Decision
• Get Help
• Stop Running from God,
• Slow Down
• Show your Heart
• Let others Lead
• Feed your Soul
• Bless the Team
• Make the Ask
• Do something more Impactful
• Come Clean
• Embody the Vision
• Celebrate the Victories
• Speak the Truth
• Pay the Price
• Count Your Blessings
• End the Secret
• Check your Motives
• Set the Pace
• Give God your Best
• Get Physically Fit
• Serve Your Spouse
• Pray

Whispers from God help us get from here to there the right way with the right motives

• Human beings are being trafficked in containers across the world and sold for sex.
• From trafficked girl: If your God is real and loving, why wouldn’t your God come sooner?
• Why has it taken so long for the Church to come to rescue?
• We have a generation that is crying out that is asking for hope.
• There are people in all of our nations and cities that are crying out for hope.
• Ephesians 5:14
• On the earth there’s a divine recalibration happening.
• God is waking up His Church.
• We live in a world and generation filled with hopelessness.
• This is greatest hour for the Church to bring light, life, love, hope and liberty to the broken world.
• We serve a redeeming and restoring God.
• When all of the world is wondering we have the hope living in this inside of us.
• Jesus Christ is the hope of the world and His Church is the vehicle to take that hope to the world.
• Hope is like oxygen for leaders.
• As church leaders, we have a responsibility to lead people from a place of hope.
• Jesus is still in the business of saving people.
• People will follow our cue.
• What hope does the world have if we don’t have hope?
• The truth of the word of God is more powerful than the facts.
• Ephesians 2:10
• If there is hope for someone like me, there’s hope for everyone.
• We don’t have to live is victims anymore.
• The truth will set you free.
• Hope is not wishful thinking.
• Hope is confident expectation.

Maintaining Hope

• We maintain hope by focusing on one.
• In the midst of our dreams we have to remember it’s all about one.
• Big numbers are numbing and dehumanizing.
• It’s easy to ignore suffering, not get involved and feel hopeless when something is nameless and faceless.
• Everything changes when you give something a name and a face.
• We will not be able to fuel hope when we communicate numbers.
• We need to break down the number.
• Translate hope from nameless, faceless numbers to a person.
• Jesus inside of us can make such a difference.
• The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is living inside of us.
• Passion fuels your hope.
• Without passion we cannot do anything.
• Most of us are leading because God has done a great work in us and we want to see that translated into other people’s lives.
• We do what we want from passion.
• When our leadership steps from passion to obligation we’ve lost hope.
• While we have passionate hope, it will carry us beyond ourselves, our ability, talents, etc.
• Hope fuels our risk-taking.
• When you have no hope you play it safe.
• The day and hour we live in, the Church is called to go places we’ve never been before and take a risk.
• We oftentimes avoid the context where miracles can happen.
• We need to take risks.
• We need to step into the darkness and bring light.
• God is calling us to go to places we’ve never been on pathways we didn’t know existed.
• We don’t need to fear the world or the darkness, the hope we have is an anchor for our soul and compels us to go into the darkness.
• The purpose of light is to illuminate the darkness, that’s the job of the Church!
• It doesn’t take much light to break the darkness, you just have to take the risk to go into it.
• Don’t lose hope!
• Zachariah 9:12
• We need to be prisoners of hope… our stronghold is Jesus.
• Our hope is not in the size of our churches, what we have, what we do, etc.
• Our hope rests in Jesus Christ.
• We need to have an unshakable confidence in God.
• In hope, Abraham believed.
• The Bible is full of examples of people who were facing impossible situations who had hope.
• What is impossible with men is possible with God.
• We are on the winning side.

Jesus is an anchor for our soul.

Philippians 1:6 – Jesus who started this awesome work in us shall bring it to completion

Andy Stanley – The Upside of Tension (Leadership Summit 2010)

THE UPSIDE OF TENSION
The right amount of pressure & tension can be used to pick up a contact lens and/or throw a baseball. The key is to leverage that tension appropriately.

1. Every organization has problems that shouldn’t be SOLVED and tensions that should be RESOLVED.
A. For example: Whats more important?
*Working and/or Family
*Preaching inspired by the Holy Spirit and/or getting kids back from volunteers on time.
*Excellence vs Sound Financial decisions
*Theology and/or Application
B. If you “resolve” any of those tensions, you will CREATE new tensions.
*We have to learn to manage these problems and tensions … not solve/resolve them.
C. If you resolve any of those tensions, you create a barrier to progress.
D. Progress depends not on the resolution of those tensions but on the successful MANAGEMENT of those tensions.
*When there are two opposing forces, you must create a third option/category, otherwise you end up with a win/lose. Or a lose/lose situation

2. To distinguish between problems to solve and tensions to manage, ask the following:
*Does this problem or tension keep resurfacing?
*Are there mature advocates for both sides?
ex. Keep church safe for seekers vs need to mature Christians
*Are the two sides really independent?

3. The role of leadership is to LEVERAGE the tension to the benefit of the organization.
A. Identify the tensions to be managed in your organization.
B. Create TERMINOLOGY EVERYONE KNOWS.
C. Inform your CORE.
*Key players must understand the principle or catch the vision.
D. Continually give VALUE to both sides.
E. Don’t weigh in too heavily on your personal biases.
*Understand the UP SIDE of the opposite side.
F. Don’t allow strong personalities to WIN the day.
*You need passionate people to champion a side, but also a mature person that realizes it’s a tension that won’t ever be resolved.
G. Don;t think in terms of balance. Think RHYTHM
*Don’t try to be fair. – not we did x last year so to be fair lets do y this year.
*Understand timing, time to learn, time to serve, time to preach/time to sing.
*Identify tensions (not solvable) … and identify problems that do NEED to be solved.

CONCLUSION: As a leader, one of the most valuable things you can do for your organization is differentiate between tensions your organization will always need to manage vs problems that need to be solv
