I am in transition and it does not feel very comfortable. At present I am no longer the pastor of Father's House, a position I have held since we started the ministry 11 years ago. We are in the process of launching an itinerant ministry to the broader Body of Christ but as yet we have not left home to do anything. It has only been a few days but it is a very interesting feeling not actually being able to say exactly what one does. It is a little bit like walking on water, there is nothing of substance under my feet. I just have to believe that I heard God when He said, leave your comfort zone and come to me here." Right now I'm just trying to keep my eyes on Him and walk.
Today in prayer I was trying to get a bearing on where I was going. But all my questions seemed unimportant. I realized that to ask Him about my ministry was no longer pertinent to the place I am trying to reach in His heart. As inquiries came to my mind in prayer, I found them benign of any significant meaning. And then I asked a question I have never thought to ask before. "Father, what is it that you really want?"
I did not hear anything but the question lingered in my heart. I got up feeling that I was asking the right question even if I hadn't received an answer.
