Our Personal Testimony that God is Calling All to Come Deeper to Him

 Our Personal Testimony that 

God is Calling All to Come Deeper to Him

I am just a voice, even likened unto a mail carrier, sharing a message. A message for groups, but even more a message for each individual. A message of love, compassion and hope. Please consider the message. This is about the message and He who the invitation originates from and not about the messenger or messengers. This is an invitation, a deeper call to God’s people to come closer, come deeper, to feel the aching of the heart of God for His people. Come deeper and cry out to God like never before, to see and acknowledge His weeping over His people and Zion as did Enoch. (Genesis 7:35 IV And it came to pass, that the God of heaven looked upon the residue of the people, and wept; and Enoch bore record of it, … And Enoch said unto the Lord, How is it that thou canst weep, seeing thou art holy, and from all eternity to all eternity?...44 Wherefore should not the heavens weep, seeing these shall suffer?) God’s response was an expression of His Great Love for His People and all His Creation (Genesis 7:44 IV). The invitation is to weep with Him, to travail with Him and to co-labor with Him.

Some Pastors and Leaders have responded and have shared this invitation with their congregations, but many of God’s People have not yet heard the invitation. Please pray about sharing this. It does not matter how it is shared or spread. I pray all God’s people will experience the Lord’s Call to them personally and will take it seriously. The invitation is “Come Deeper”. May our response be “Here am I Lord, call me deeper, draw me deeper so that I may feel and experience your heart for your people and truly love your people through the Power of Your Love.

I pray for the sake of God’s Kingdom this invitation will be embraced by all and not taken lightly or rejected. If you feel God’s Spirit calling you deeper, Praise the Lord! If you do not feel this invitation is from the Lord, then please ask the Lord are you calling me deeper, do you want me to draw closer to you? I pray that you will feel God’s intense love for you and how He is calling each of His people to deeper communion and communication with Him. The only way this invitation can fail in your life is if it is taken casually or lightly or rejected. I believe with all my heart that God is calling ALL His People to walk closer with Him. We are not asking anyone to take our word or someone else’s word, but to seek God’s Face and ask Him. May you be greatly blessed.

A copy of the Excerpts from the 3 visons is attached for those who have not seen it. Please share it as led by the Holy Spirit. This is my husband’s and my personal testimony, but I believe it can be shared by all who feel God calling them deeper. There are many experiences that have led up to this point in our lives. I believe God has prepared each of you in different ways. He has given so many of you mighty testimonies and assignments for Him and you have been faithful to His requests. I believe each one of those prayer endeavors and emails and pleas and sermons to the people by the leaders and others plays a crucial role in why this invitation has even been extended at this time. This message in no way negates or belittles the work the Lord has called each of you to do, I believe it is a result of that work.

The invitation for us personally came as many questions were posed to us by the Holy Spirit. One was “Is He, God worthy to call you, to call us and how will you respond…?” When our answer was “Yes, Lord, you alone are worthy to call us…” then we had the opportunity to answer other questions which led to where we are now, with the “Invitation”, “Will you be among my people?... I’m calling you deeper, closer to me. As you ask, I will draw closer. Give me your time and I will give you more of Me…” Our response was not immediate, not recognizing the invitation for what it truly was. Our response now is, “Please Lord, call us deeper, draw us closer to you so we can more fully feel what you feel for your people, and we can more fully learn to co-labor with you and Matthew 6:11 will be done even as is recorded… "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is done in heaven."

I do not believe this invitation is just for a few, but for ALL who feel the impress and sweetness of His Holy Spirit and will respond. I pray that you can see and feel that the beauty of this message is out of God’s great love for His People. There is no condemnation, only an invitation once again in preparation for this invitation, the Lord posed a question to us, Have you missed time with me? I’ve missed my time with you.”

Your Brother and Sister in Christ,

Ron and Brenda VanFleet

PREPARE AND ENRICH Class 06 April 2024

Prepare and Enrich is a tremendous system for a counselor to work with couples regarding Premarriage or Marriage. I have been using this system for over 25 years. It is mainly a facilitator program meaning you follow the instructions on each page when talking to the couple. You will be able to add your own wisdom or choose not to. The couple is charged a fee of $35. They then answer some background questions followed by 170 multiple choice questions about themselves and their relationship. This is all done on the web. We get back a report that is around 20 pages about the couple. The report is designed to generate a lot of conversation plus some new insights. The training will help you to use the report to guide and bless the couple. See the attached bulletin for details about time and place. The cost is $82 for material which you must have to be accredited. You will also receive a free $35 coupon to pay for your first couple. You will also have access to their facilitator web site that will have a lot of helpful continued education. This class can also be attended by people that are already accredited but want to review and ask questions at no cost. We recommend the training be done by husband/wife couples who will share the training material. My hope is that every congregation will have someone trained and able to use the system when needed. You may ask further questions by email to jimbailey2001@aol.com We will provide a simple lunch for a donation. You must register by 3/22 with full payment of $82 if not already accredited.  Send Check to Jim Bailey 1813 S Lake Dr., Independence, MO 64055.

ZIONWORKS NEWS for FEBRUARY 15th, 2024

 ZIONWORKS NEWS for FEBRUARY 15th, 2024

The call to build Zion is true, valid and necessary for today. “…be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great.” “…Zion shall flourish, and the glory of the Lord shall be upon her and she shall be an ensign unto the people, and there shall come unto her out of every nation under heaven. And the day shall come when the nations of the earth shall tremble because of her…”

The above scripture is taken from Doctrine and Covenants 64:6c & 8a, b. The words and message starting in 6a and ending in 8a are too deeply revealing and powerful to print them all here at this time. D&C 58 has similar revealing information. It is good advice to pray before approaching them. Seek to understand them as revealed from heaven (as should be with all scripture) and be personally prepared to abide by Christ’s direction. In all of God’s revealed word, he calls you and me to receive his love and guidance directly from the realm of glory and not as dictated by any culture, peer group or church. His church is defined as composed of those who are pure in heart and obedient to His voice. These, He also calls “Saints”. In these last days, He has said that he will gather his Saints from all quarters of the earth! We were created with a desire in our souls to fellowship with Saints and a joy in our souls when we encounter them. He has called us to “bear testimony of things which are to come…and also that you might be honored of laying the foundation and bearing record of the land upon which the Zion of God shall stand…” D&C58:3b, c

Zionworks’ purpose is to create a situation of fellowship among all people in the world who are pure in heart and need all of the safety, refuge and resources of Zion as Christ describes it in all scripture. Strength from Christ and each other, and cooperation and encouragement in the building of the real Kingdom on the earth is the reason for this Christ-given mission. Appealing directly to Jesus to think and act according to his direction draws all of His people together in purpose and makes us eager to hear each other's life story, learn from each other, love each other and prefer the other, knowing that if Jesus said to, that it can be done and will be a true celestial situation. We were never told it would be easy or that it can be done with a part-time effort or attitude.

The name "Zionworks" is unimportant and maybe should be dispensed with, as this work of gathering is really the work of Zion and not the idea or property of any of individual or group. Zionworks, from the beginning, allied itself with the pure celestial principles of heaven and of God’s kingdom on the earth. Not persuaded by any philosophy or religion that deviates, in the slightest, from that which is directly from Christ, its people recognize the responsibility (and labor) to establish that very kingdom. This kingdom must, in reality, be “an ensign” setting an example to the world of cooperative love in responsible action. This becomes more hugely obvious, urgent and beckoning as local, national and world conditions reveal it in bold contrast. To live in a society that governs itself, feeds itself and sustains itself independent of world society is something to get serious and get excited about. It’s time to re-charge our energy for this huge undertaking and to never become weary in well doing.

CALENDAR
.

NEXT WORK DAY: Saturday, March 24th. To be determined at the meeting. In the past we have had some tremendous hands-on classes on food preservation, healthy baking, gardening, water acquisition and storage and even spiritual warfare. So, it would be fun and beneficial to schedule one of these classes again soon. There is work to be done on our meeting place and people that need physical help on their homes and premises. We may be able to schedule two or more work days in advance.

Lagos Nigeria Restoration Campground Fund

Dear Saints, We have an opportunity to help the saints of Lagos Nigeria with the next phase of their Restoration Campgrounds. They have been working on it for 4 years to get the fencing, iron gate, and building to the 1 st story complete except for the roof. They need to do the decking which will act as the roof for the 1 st floor and provide the floor for the 2 nd story. Rest rooms will also be completed so it will be usable for worship for a new branch at Atan near Lagos. It will also be used for the annual conference and annual retreats such as women’s, youth, and men’s retreats for Nigeria. Nigeria has 13 branches or groups, 36 priesthood, and over 500 members. This facility is in the name of the church, and not any individual. Land was donated and signed over to the church by a local church member. They are anxiously awaiting this next phase to make it feasible for use. It will require about $20,000. Click the link below to see the progress.
