Healing Gate Ministries

Several years ago, I was teaching at the University of the Nations in Kona, Hawaii.  Jan was with me and one night while we were walking the beach, I heard the still small voice of the Lord speak to me.  "I am closing the door to Hawaii and opening the doors to Korea!"  I shared this with Jan, who was sure I hadn't heard correctly (lol), however within 1/2 hour we were back at the base in time to hear at knock at our door.   A young Korean woman stood there and delivered a message that we clearly understood, "I would like to invite you to Korea to teach!"

It wasn't until I began itinerating that I became aware of how many couples are unable to have children of their own.   Many of these couples have been trying for years, and some have become settled in their hearts and are now the happy parents of adopted children.

When I am not traveling, it has become my habit to prepare the morning coffee for Jan so that we can start the day sipping our favourite beverage and sharing deep conversations!  This morning was no different - another beautiful fall day in the Okanagan and our conversation led us a topic we were both mediating on - (as so often happens).  Maintaining faith during the heaviest of seasons. 

Like a butterfly our spiritual journey begins the moment we are conceived in the mind of God,  (egg) and continues on as make our entry into into this world as babes (larvae - feeding and growth stage).  Through the next years, we becomes familiar with the world system and longing for something more (pupa).  And at rebirth (caterpillar) we are revealed as beautiful new creatures in Christ. And our spiritual journey continues as we continue on a path to become fully alive in Christ!  We know that the journey will be always before us, challenging, and God lead!  

Have you ever been talking with someone and in their conversation you hear a word or phrase  that really resonates in your spirit? That happened recently when Jan  and I were having coffee with long time friend Ralph Bromley.  He used the phrase “dropping your nets” and immediately I knew that the Lord was wanting to show me something in the scriptures.
