July 4th was our last day with the YASP (Young Adult School Prophets). We had an incredible service in the morning where Gary & Marilyn Hargrave sealed this time in the Word, and Silas Esteves spoke to us about truly living in what we have experienced during the School of Prophets. In the afternoon everyone in the YASP program had
Last October we had an awesome celebration in our family, Eddie Schiek and Aimee Christiansen took another step in their relationship and commitment to each other and to our Heavenly Father. It was such a special time for all of their relatives and friends and also to the whole Hale O Kāula Church family.
When we talk about being a family it is important to notice that we are talking about a spiritual family, although a lot of the principles of a natural family also apply.
““And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.” ” (John 8:29, NAS)
In this verse we see a clear picture of how Jesus Christ moved and lived His life on earth. He learned obedience the bible says (Hebrews 5:7-9), because He came to do the Father’s will (John 6:38). There are many references that show us this quality in Jesus.
For a little over three years me and my family have been living on Maui, Hawaii, and it has been an amazing experience (which of course could mean a lot of things). But even though we live in Hawaii, we don’t really experience paradise every day, because we are not tourists on vacation.
One thing that is really interesting, coming from Brazil, is to understand the differences in the many cultures here in the Islands. This morning, listening to the radio we started laughing about the local jokes, but it only took three years for us to understand these cultures enough to get it and laugh!
In our lives we do a lot of things that we are not really proud of, but as I was reading the most recent message from my spiritual father, Gary Hargrave, an amazing picture of Salvation came to me. I hope I can help you to see what I saw:
“For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.” (1 Thessalonians 2:13, NAS)
In a recent message, Gary Hargrave used this scripture and what really stood out to me is that there are two things that need to happen when we hear a Word. First, we need to get over the barrier of receiving a Word through a human vessel, and second we also have to believe in that word for it to work in us.
Today, Debbie and I are in a transition between the Young Adults School of Prophets and meetings with all the pastors and ministries of The Living Word Fellowship. The 2010 Shiloh School of Prophets is complete, and it was a great time of seeking the Lord together. Now everyone is tired after such an intense time!
