trainning scouts

I had a book on community developmetnt which was called:
TO AVOID MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN.

I think this is what I am doing now. I am having time to analyze and just to put down on paper the conclusions I reach IN ORDER TO AVOID MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES.

For me it is a time of deep deliverance and joy. As I organize all these ideas, I am being able to throw to the trash the wrong ideas that made my previous walk in the ministry something tiredsome and confusing. I have walked too many miles under fear. I am overcoming fear through the revelation of truth.

I understand I am a scout, (see previous blog on this) I am not a general. That is why I cannot wear a uniform and just fall in with all the stablished routes.
I think God has appointed scouts into each army, precisely to explore new ways, walk down them and then go for the rest of the people and tell them: "I have found the path we are to follow now."

A SCOUT FINDS THE ROUTES, THE GENERAL LEADS THE ARMY TO WALK DOWN THESE ROUTES. Big difference- must be kept in mind.
These are different roles, and God has different types of people to take each role.

I believe that part of the reason the church is now stuck is precisely the fact that pastors have not understood the role of the scouts. They have not learned to see who is truly a scout, and they have not trusted the work God has already done in these people.
Lack of trust in God is sin. Sin is stopping rain from falling. The same rain we keep praying for.

I now understand that I am a scout. And I also understand that I am to train scouts.
Part of the pastors' worry in allowing scouts to take their place, is that people will all want to become scouts.
I believe that God has appointed different tasks for each person. Some are called to be generals, many, many, many, many are called to be soldiers. And some are to be scouts.
Yes, I will be used to train scouts. The people who are being pastored by me are scouts. Not because I like them and decided to form them into scouts but BECAUSE THEY WERE CALLED TO BE SCOUTS.

When God assigns people their position in the body of Christ, He also gives them a special chip. It is true. He makes us in a special way to carry out our job.
Pastors so far have tried to stop the scouts from taking their place out of fear. Fear to see their sheep hurt. This is totally wrong. Nobody is called to move in fear. Fear is a clear signal that something is wrong in our relationship with God. I remember telling God so many times, "I will obey, but I do not really trust you." I obeyed in fear- and almost got killed. Fear is dangerous.

I believe God knows who is a scout. And such people he wants to train for such a task. And the fact that there are many "scouts to be trainned" moving about on planet earth should not scare pastors. It should rejoice them, for that is precisely what is needed for the coming revival.
It is an answer to prayer.

Pastors who want to be used in the revival must get in tune with God and accept that there are scouts, and learn quickly what the role of scouts is within the Body of Christ learn to work along their side.

I am a scout.
I am trainning scouts.
I have walked ahead, I understand what is going on. I can be used to train other scouts in order to make their walk easier and TO AVOID THEIR MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES.
Specially so they do not walk in fear. This is a big mistake.
I am not assisting a congregation now, I am still praying to find a pastor that has understood all the above, or the pastor that God is dealing with to take him to such a place. =)
But I have my ears open, my eyes are wide open...I am waiting to see who God leads me to.
In the meanwhile I suggest that we start praying so pastors begin to understand the scout's role and therefore may trust God in order to let them take their place in the right moment.

I know scouts are being stirred by God all over the world. They are restless and cannot seem to settle with their school studies, or their jobs. God is stirring them with one clear message "it is time to prepare"
It is important that they keep in mind that it is time to prepare. Not time to actually take their place.
It is trainning time.
Do not panic, we will each get a pastor that understands this.
BUT that is God's job- to stir their hearts.
We just need to concentrate in dealing with our heart.
AND to trust God -He is God, He will get the pastors ready by the time we are ready.
Let us prepare!
