Revelation Fusion NOT Confusion

06/28/2025

Simply mind boggling, havent heard anything new in the lessons, things I have heard and read all my life since I have been a child.

So what’s new you ask? Revelation! I knew the words, I knew the references to some as well, and many verses I could finish by heart, what was really lacking was the revelation of what the spirit of God was really revealing to me at that point of time in my life, in my walk and on my journey.

My perspective, revelation and most importantly my reverence for the triune God has deepened, do i get it all? Absolutely not but on a far better footing than before i did the course.

Planting & developing churches

God has called us to plant churches through use of the unique ways he’s given to us. We can never experience the power of how God can do through us until we step out trusting him. “We should not pray for the Job and fail to do application “.

I learn in church planting you have to trust and rely to God 100%

In all suffering you need to focus just like David and that is a principle a calling is essential this is what suppose to fill my head

I learn that I should know my limits

And I should never be ashamed to start all over again

The most important thing is to have relationship with God

And remember always about short and long terms because in the race there’s always one person who wins the prize not everyone

Always seeking wisdom is the beginning of wisdom

Honesty, humility and seeking help

Conjetivity

Be accountable and authenticity

Living the true version of yourself

Understanding the goals

You must put God first

Being able to have self evaluation
