Past week we have been learning about linking generations, instead of dividing them on small peaces and separate them from the whole body ,- it was painful to hear that : "is difficult to received together (with the older generation) then give ! So true, if you look at the world today, and what we learn from the past is just cutting the "Big Cake" on small pieces. We learn from the past how to separate generations from each other making our churches, community, fellowships - body parts ( reminds me cars parts store - where everything you can find but doesn't work together, in fact you have to go to different shelfs and alleys to find the right thing) . Its like the (somebody says) John 6 modern version says: - "
After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, A large crowd followed Him, because they saw the sign which He was performing on those who were sick, then Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples and set: (modern version) We have so many people around 5000 so, you Peter will take the age group 2-4 and you go on the left side of the mountain, You Philip take the 5-7 years old and do some good program for them with object lessons, and you Andrew don't worry take the teens and eat with them the five barley and two fishes and you gonna be fine.... " LOL - is this how our church looks like today ?
It's kinda funny picture of the word we possibly will do this days, but what really happen there ? God use small boy with his load of 5 bread and 2 fishes to teach the adults !
Anyway, working with my school journal tonight something happen to me, and was really clear that God want to show me something about the older generation in Poland, - listening music from our iPod (obviously not with christian lyrics) God start to giving me some thoughts what we should do when we come back to Poland,- it was the strange thing happen to me from a long while,- my iPod was playing and just stopped working (being charged) showing my the characteristic apple sign, i tried to push and play but didn't work at all, but i feel like its a special moment that I should listen to the Lord W O W - so God show me Poland and older generation forgotten, left behind and sad,- then i saw two hands old one and young one trying to reconcile - a young hand asking for forgiveness, disregard and arrogance -
got the sense that we should go with the younger generation and serve to the old people by blessing, praying and loving them! ,- next what happen was, when i turn my page of my notes the first sentence i saw, was to build bridges with the older generation to work together, after that i saw open chat with one of our friend in Poland, who told me that she just celebrated 84 birthday of her MOM and she see how passionated She still is for the LORD !! WOW, - next thing i get from her was,- we are so busy, running and leaving the older generation lonely ....... so true. few days before when as a school we prayed I got some impression about the new generation that is selfish .... :-( and should pray and bless and serve and not forget about the oldest ! when I finished putting all this things together as one picture my iPod start working again by itself !!! - isn't strange ? :-)
wow, i don't know how,when,were ? - but I know that God is doing something special, something which is bringing Him Joy, something what He is doing today .. i want to Hear more God !
.... one more things, God gave my dad dream 2 years ago about me, that I had some trouble with pornography, (God gave me freedom 6 moths ago) I rejected that actually having some trouble with it...., so I called him last week, after i read the verse from the Bible saying:
And it shall be in the last days, God says, That I will pour forth of my Spirit on all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams .... ACTS 2,17 I understood that I have to asking for forgiveness and be thankful that God spoke through my Friend-Dad to me with Grace & Truth!
Working together with the old generation is amazing and i can"t wait to see the vision come true !
