NZ, SYDNEY - 'SOURCE'

Just had amazing week in New Zealand last week with Mike Parks, Richard Eames and team - tremendous momentum happening! Great CMN event in Auckland - guys from across New Zealand joined up... amazing.
Sydney has been tremendous this week - C3 OxfordFalls BONFIRE NIGHT with the guys was awesome! Over 300 men around a 20foot wall of fire - how great is that!? Photos coming... attended Hillsong Conference with great friends Robert/Karyn Barriger with Taylor and Chana - Brian and Bobbie Houston are stunning leaders, highly motivating conference - you must attend some year - 25 years now and going strong!

Here's a short devo note - I think you'll like it - on 'Your Source'

What is Your Source?


God promised Abraham a son – and, he finally had one.
Fourteen years too early.

The issue was Abraham’s impatience, his fear, listening to wrong advice and the son he produced was Ishmael...A child that would bring grief to Abraham’s lineage to this very day. He had a son, but the source was Abraham, not God.

When God is the source, our lives produce eternal results, are protected by His peace and contain the power of His promise.

When we are the source, the product is finite, subject to sin and out of sync.

Psalm 46 says to ‘be still (wait) and know that I am God." Micah 7 says “I wait confidently." It is a constant instruction to us from God’s Word...wait for His timing.

Abraham couldn’t wait and he produced a stressor, not a successor. For you and me, it’s one of life’s most difficult areas.

Check what you’re about to do next week – is it His timing, or yours?

Who are you listening to – is it wise counsel or just mere advice?

Are you the source, or is God?

Grace/peace
Go strong!
Paul
