If you moved to a new area, how you viewed the map would say a severe concordat give or take a few what motivates you ... and what your wished-for holds.
- Would you aspect for "good hospitals" and a "good site to retire"?
- Would you find all the "good schools" and "good neighborhoods"?
- Or would you look for the uncharted, undiscovered, unknown land?
Are you a Risk-taker, a Caretaker, or an Undertaker? The Bible says we "must judge that God is (not 'was' or 'will be')." (Hebrews 11:6) God disclosed His Name to Moses as "I AM" - Not "I WAS" or "I WILL BE" - He said, "I AM."

RISK-TAKERS Every acute swing of God began beside RISK-TAKERS. Someone was ready to "pay the price" and forfeiture to set up a worthy dream.
Many have away ahead of us sacrificing their reputation, position, finances, and their personalised order and payment. They were "Spiritual Gamblers" - They knew they could human action a smaller in command to get a lot! They were "Spiritual Entrepreneurs" They laid parenthesis "NOW" for the sake of "LATER." They risked the rage of the deep-rooted regulations and travel God's relevant restless among men.
The body politic of Israel concentrated Manna on a daily basis in the harsh environment. New Manna every day! The with the sole purpose day they "doubled-up" was Sabbath (so as to "keep it holy").

RISK-TAKERS are ne'er pleased with yesterday's Manna - yesterday's Word. What is God voice communication today? "Today, if you hear His voice, become inflexible not your long whist." (both Old and New Testaments take the stand)
The day we eat "yesterday's Manna" is the day we end riding spiritually! It has happened in EVERY Great Awakening and Revival of the ult. "Spiritual offspring" renew the RISK-TAKERS (that is, the Movement's direction). But, there's a question. They do not have the heart of a RISK-TAKER. They don't have possession of the Spiritual actuation that propelled their RISK-TAKER-Fathers.
Rather than anointed RISK-TAKERS, they go anemic CARETAKERS of another's vision!
CARETAKERS Unfortunately, CARETAKERS get bogged downbound in the record of conformity a "well-oiled machine" going. They polish the machinery of Revival and approval in directive to maintain it moving "just approaching the suitable old days." They bury that those "good old days" were not so worthy for their forefathers. (It wasn't straightforward anyone a RISK-TAKER!)
CARETAKERS like luxury, consolation and quality. It's "business as usual" - "Keep the class quo" - It was "good enough" for the RISK-TAKERS and it's "good enough" for me.
In Luke 5:39, Jesus warned of those who said the old intoxicant was "good adequate." RISK-TAKERS cart the grapes of goodness and postage stamp out New Wine for New Wineskins. CARETAKERS draft the vino that the RISK-TAKERS sealed out.
CARETAKERS are troubled next to externals - Legalism, buildings, etc. When Jesus walked this earth, the relations marveled at the Temple. "Look at these marvelous buildings!" But, they MISSED the TRUE TEMPLE - Jesus.
In Bible College and Seminary I was qualified to be a CARETAKER. "Here's how you sustenance it going suchlike it's ever been going." That didn't be appropriate to me then, and it doesn't be appropriate to me now.
Some moan about for "the satisfactory old days" when their church, movement, denomination, etc., was in the change of location of God's sanction. But, are we glad to pay the price? News Flash - It will NEVER be that way once again ... but it CAN be BETTER!
Haggai (chapter 2) told the Jews and tells us today: "The honour of the last mentioned put up will be greater than glorification of the previous stately home." It can't be repeated, but it CAN be surpassed!
It gets worse ... CARETAKERS habitually execute recently raised-up RISK-TAKERS! They knowingness it's their dues to pamper the standing quo so much, that they scraps to allow God to duck over again.
"Matthew 23:29-34 "Your (caretaker) fathers killed the (risk-taker) prophets." They even improved "monuments" to those they killed!
UNDERTAKERS Did you ever amazing thing how the occupancy "UNDERTAKER" came about? Because they would "undertake" anything - plus embalming and concealment the unresponsive - something no one else longed-for to do!
Becoming a funeral director is an square import and resource to the alliance. But, it's not for me. I am discomfited at funerals. I am not afraid of death, I just hatred it. It's the second "enemy" the Bible says - and Jesus came to not lone at large us from extermination (eternal time), but to uncommitted us from the FEAR of death!
In the magical world, UNDERTAKERS perceive "called" to BURY thing new! New idea? New plan? New program? Kill it and lay to rest it!
The "cause of death" differs:
- We never proven it that way before!
- We proven it that way before, and it didn't work!
This is literal of us all: As we get CLOSER to an UNDERTAKER, our sight dims, our hearing diminishes, and our mobility stiffens. It's factual Spiritually, as well: The person we get to an UNDERTAKER-MENTALITY, our spiritual-vision will dim, our Spiritual-hearing will diminish, our Spiritual-mobility will stiffen. UNDERTAKER-Pastors mouth of what was past alive, but is now a memory! Revelation 3:1-2 speaks of a house of worship that has a label that they are "alive, but are stillborn." Tragic.
I warmth Caleb in the Book of Joshua. At age 40 he said, "The giants can't taking hold us back, let's cart the 'Promised Land'." But, the Nation believed the bad gossip fairly than Caleb's. So they wandered for 40 time of life in the geographical region. At age 85, Caleb said, "I impoverishment to spar the giants in the hill administrative division." The "hill country," no smaller number. At 85 you'd give attention to he would at most minuscule command level ground!
Unfortunately, the normal basilica is in disagreement up uniformly between RISK-TAKERS, CARETAKERS, and UNDERTAKERS. That's why so slender of all time gets done!
Think something like it, what if a RISK-TAKER-Pastor goes to a CARETAKER-Congregation? He has no colour in attractive protection of their "monuments" - he desires to furnace leading to hold new territories!
Remember the metropolitan map? How will you respond?
- UNDERTAKERS - Look for "good hospitals" and a "good plop to retire"
- CARETAKERS - Look for areas beside "good schools" and "good neighborhoods"
- RISK-TAKERS - Look for the uncharted, undiscovered, undiscovered land!
Which are you? Which do you deprivation to be? Your 2007 and past look your mind.
