Hey FresnoJoe! I remember you. You're the guy that always prays. That's great bro!

By the way I haven't moved to Chile...yet. Still trying to figure out how to get there. The Lord has not yet opened that door wide for me so I can only conclude that it is not His will that I go there quite yet if at all of course. Only time will tell.

If the door opens I will for sure go but until it does I can only leave it in His hands while doing what I can to move in that direction.

You can do the same thing from where you are now. Just like long distance learning. Try it out. A couple of things to keep in mind: once there you will be considered a walking cash machine and that in your mind things are the same as last time you were there. Praying

I remember you, Carlos, from about two years ago. You were trying to get out of the U.S. then too. Odd that you would come back to a 'doomed' country. :rolleyes:

Hey Carlos -

Sorry I have no clue how to help with what you are asking for. But I'd like to share a bit of my story with you.

About 9 years ago I stopped going to church. To put it simply, I was burned out - spiritually, mentally, and physically. "Churchianity" was destroying me. A few times I tried, but I just could not get myself going back to church - any church. The church routine just made me ill.

Earlier this year, my brother practically started dragging me to church with him. To be honest, I hated it. But while there some women were speaking into me about the need to belong to a church body. Well, I managed to get myself out of going to my bro's church again by trying out a church I hadn't been to yet, one that had a focus that was interesting to me. In my spirit I was asking the Lord for guidance, and although I didn't ask Him for a sign, I had a couple desires in my heart for what I wanted - aside from it not being "church as usual", I wasn't able to get away from that - but if I had to endure "the routine", there were cravings in my heart for fellowship, for friendship.

This church did not offer the manifestation of this desire, although it did seem a decent church to belong to. But something there brought out a desire to revisit another church that some people I was acquainted with attended. So I went there the following Sunday. Would you believe that those things I was craving were answered?! So, I figured that was good enough reason to keep going back!

So what did I learn from this, why I wanted to share this? The only thing that makes sense to me is that the Lord had me out in the desert (from the fellowship of a church body) for a reason, and the reason I did not feel the acceptance I needed from this church when I had gone there before was because it wasn't time for me to be there yet. Why it was this church and not the other, I don't know. But as I stumble through this life, I have to trust that the Lord is leading me, even when it doesn't seem like it.

The one thing I have not heard from what you have spoken so far is why the Lord sent you to San Diego. Based on my and others' experiences that I've heard, my inclination would be to ask you to seek the Lord about why He sent you there, what He would have you do there . . . something like that. Since it's rather clear the Lord is not opening the door for you to leave, it can only mean He has a plan for you still in San Diego. Seek out what He means for you in this place. It may be there is something you need to do or accomplish or learn of something else that I can't think of before He can move you on to Chile, if that is in His plan at all (sorry, but I can't assume that direction - even though I seriously sympathize with you).

Blessings!

Acts 13:1 Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,

Why is your going to Chile dependent on other people going too? If God is prompting you to go, and you are sure that He is prompting you to do so, then wait for the opportunity to open up and then go, whether someone is going with you or not.

I truly believe that if God wants to send you somewhere, He will prepare the way, He will go ahead of you. You have experienced in the past how God paved the way for you, He will do the same, if it is His plan for you to go.

In my own personal experience, when I have a desire to move somewhere, my only prayer is for God to lead me on level ground. From the Philippines, I've moved to the US, then to Colombia, South America, and now I'm in South Africa. And every single time, I just know that it was God who made it possible. Lay it before God from the very beginning and be awed at how He will do it.

Blessings...South

Dear Carlos -

We've wondered where life has taken you since you left a couple of years ago - I believe at that time you were angry with the country and the requirements to get assistance. How is your wife? Have you reconcilled with her and your family? I've prayed about that - I know she was making some demands that you come home and help her - you were searching for life with meaning and seemed so lost at the time. I pray that you all have reconciled and you are praying together over this trip to Chile.

So glad you are letting us know what is going on in your life now.

Howdy MorningGlory,

Just so you know...I never left :). So there was no coming back. Glad I made such a memorable impression on you...I guess.

Carlos

I remember you, Carlos, from about two years ago. You were trying to get out of the U.S. then too. Odd that you would come back to a 'doomed' country. :rolleyes:

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
