Singapore. One day we will look back and laugh!

25th May 2011.

Singapore.  Visiting with Jonathan Warner to discuss funding opportunities for his "Inheritance" movie.  One day we will look back and laugh at what God did.  I mean, how did we end up here!

God is taking me on an amazing journey.  Whatever happens here in terms of funding I know that God is very interested in my journey, in our journeys.  He more interested in the road we travel with Him than the destination!  After all, He already knows, as do we, the final destination.  But how will we travel there? Will it be the path laid out for us by our faithful Daddy in Heaven or a windy, unprepared path through a rocky mountain that eventually gets us there, but only after a struggle?

I am enjoying this moment with God so much I don't really care the outcome.  Now don't get me wrong, I really, really want to see this movie made.  People need to see this movie and receive the Fathers heart for their lives. I am very passionate about this!

But in terms of what God is doing, I could just follow Him around until I die and I would be so happy.  It is just so much fun meeting people, going here and there, helping this person and that, talking about Gods dreams in our hearts and helping people achieve them.  What's not to like about playing with our Daddy in MY PERSONAL sandpit!

The reality is all these projects and ideas are amazing!  "I'm a WorldChanger" is really opening doors and inspiring people to change the lives of others for the better.  And I appreciate the support and growing momentum and favour God is releasing.  There is so much more to do.

But I am actually so "uninvolved" and God is so "involved" that I'm just running along in obedience, releasing faith and favour along the journey, using what I've been given and leaving God to sort out the results.  Because only He can do this!

I mean, I cannot physically convince a group of strangers in Singapore, or New Zealand for that matter, to part with $1,000,000 to get this movie made.  Get real.

And yet here we are. Following a trail started, built and prepared by God.  A stranger moves into the building next to Horizon, comes to introduce himself to us, has lunch, reads Jonathans script, cries and is moved by it, tells us we must take this message to his friends in Singapore, arranges some introductions and meetings, Jonathan calls some NCMI guys and more meetings are made, he invites me as the token "grey haired fella", we go, more meetings arranged.........possibilities.......

And here we are. One day into it.  Building relationships.  Talking the Kingdom.  Discussing taking the Kingdom into business, the marketplace, taking the seven mountains for God.  Discussing the Fathers heart for families, for fathers, for sons and daughters - and making a movie about it.

God has brought amazing acting talent to the movie, sovereign provision of talent, some of the best in New Zealand.  And marketing opportunities galore from this talent.  There is a great story to tell even from how God is bringing the actors and production staff together.  One day Jonathan will write a section for my book about that piece.

So whatever your dreams - if they are from God then I implore you to take the first step.  To obey is better than sacrifice - I believe that at this time more than ever it is better to "obey" God in your dream or passion than to do almost anything else!

Now is the time of the Lords favour. Now!  So start to move with the passion in your heart.  If it is giving then give, serving then serve, dreaming then dream - do it all  for God.  Do it all WITH God.  It is no longer important what you do for God (what you sacrifice) but it is important what you do WITH God!  Time with Him, playing in your personal sandpit, doing the things you LOVE, co-labouring with God because He made you for this day, for this idea or passion or dream - and He delights to do it with you.

Three more meetings tomorrow.  Should be fun.  Oh and I'm sorry if my joy at doing this upsets anyone.  Galavanting all over the world.  Flying in planes.  Leaving my family behind.  Stop judging and may the poverty spirit come out of you in Jesus name!  If you celebrated the journey God has me and others on, those that are going with their passions, and if you started your journey you might find God taking you further and higher than me.

And I pray He does!  I really do!  I just get excited to see people get on and enjoy their God and run with the passions God has put in their hearts.

Come on people.  Lets change the world. Take the first step!

Over a year ago I had a meal with Jonathan to talk about being yoked with unbelievers.  And today I'm sitting in a coffee bar in Singapore raising funds for a feature movie - executive producer!

Where will you be in 12 months?

It depends on you.
