If you touched to a new area, how you viewed the map would say a intense concordat in the order of what motivates you ... and what your imminent holds.

• Would you outer shell for "good hospitals" and a "good pop to retire"?
• Would you find all the "good schools" and "good neighborhoods"?
• Or would you appearance for the uncharted, undiscovered, unknown land?

Are you a Risk-taker, a Caretaker, or an Undertaker? The Bible says we "must agree to that God is (not 'was' or 'will be')." (Hebrews 11:6) God unconcealed His Name to Moses as "I AM" - Not "I WAS" or "I WILL BE" - He said, "I AM."

In every generation, God is itinerant. In every generation, you can see cardinal responses to His unreeling among His people:

RISK-TAKERS Every grave push of God began with RISK-TAKERS. Someone was ready to "pay the price" and forfeit to set up a worthy dream.

Many have gone up of us sacrificing their reputation, position, finances, and their of our own peace and deposit. They were "Spiritual Gamblers" - They knew they could sacrifice a weeny in direct to get a lot! They were "Spiritual Entrepreneurs" They arranged deviation "NOW" for the sake of "LATER." They risked the wrath of the established group and go God's widespread squirming among men.

The body politic of Israel gathered Manna daily in the geographic area. New Manna both day! The solitary day they "doubled-up" was Sabbath (so as to "keep it holy").

Certain messages:

RISK-TAKERS are ne'er delighted with yesterday's Manna - yesterday's Word. What is God locution today? "Today, if you perceive His voice, harden not your whist." (both Old and New Testaments attest)

The day we eat "yesterday's Manna" is the day we abstain from streaming spiritually! It has happened in EVERY Great Awakening and Revival of the recent. "Spiritual offspring" replace the RISK-TAKERS (that is, the Movement's supervision). But, there's a trouble. They do not have the heart of a RISK-TAKER. They don't have the Spiritual driving force that propelled their RISK-TAKER-Fathers.

Rather than anointed RISK-TAKERS, they go anaemic CARETAKERS of another's vision!

CARETAKERS Unfortunately, CARETAKERS get bogged fur in the listing of conformity a "well-oiled machine" going. They rub the machine of Revival and approval in lay down to resource it running "just same the perfect old days." They forget that those "good old days" were not so satisfactory for their forefathers. (It wasn't jammy someone a RISK-TAKER!)

CARETAKERS like luxury, encouragement and allay. It's "business as usual" - "Keep the stature quo" - It was "good enough" for the RISK-TAKERS and it's "good enough" for me.

In Luke 5:39, Jesus warned of those who said the old vino was "good adequate." RISK-TAKERS whip the grapes of morality and item out New Wine for New Wineskins. CARETAKERS infusion the alcoholic beverage that the RISK-TAKERS stamped out.

CARETAKERS are afraid with externals - Legalism, buildings, etc. When Jesus walked this earth, the populace marveled at the Temple. "Look at these ace buildings!" But, they MISSED the TRUE TEMPLE - Jesus.

In Bible College and Seminary I was trained to be a CARETAKER. "Here's how you hold on to it active like it's always been going." That didn't legal proceeding me then, and it doesn't proceeding me now.

Some bemoan for "the suitable old days" when their church, movement, denomination, etc., was in the tide of God's stroke of luck. But, are we glad to pay the price? News Flash - It will NEVER be that way once more ... but it CAN be BETTER!

Haggai (chapter 2) told the Jews and tells us today: "The honour of the last mentioned private house will be greater than honour of the one-time provide somewhere to stay." It can't be repeated, but it CAN be surpassed!

It gets worsened ... CARETAKERS routinely butcher a moment ago raised-up RISK-TAKERS! They touch it's their due to conserve the status quo so much, that they waste to allow God to budge again.

"Matthew 23:29-34 "Your (caretaker) fathers killed the (risk-taker) sacred writing." They even improved "monuments" to those they killed!

UNDERTAKERS Did you ever amazement how the occupancy "UNDERTAKER" came about? Because they would "undertake" anything - with embalming and burying the comatose - something no one other welcome to do!

Becoming a undertaker is an open export and provision to the colony. But, it's not for me. I am discomfited at funerals. I am not afraid of death, I fitting loathe it. It's the final "enemy" the Bible says - and Jesus came to not merely unconstrained us from extermination (eternal existence), but to unconstrained us from the FEAR of death!

In the nonphysical world, UNDERTAKERS quality "called" to BURY thing new! New idea? New plan? New program? Kill it and lay to rest it!

The "cause of death" differs:

1. We ne'er proved it that way before!
2. We tried it that way before, and it didn't work!

This is apodeictic of us all: As we get CLOSER to an UNDERTAKER, our illusion dims, our audible range diminishes, and our quality stiffens. It's factual Spiritually, as well: The mortal we get to an UNDERTAKER-MENTALITY, our spiritual-vision will dim, our Spiritual-hearing will diminish, our Spiritual-mobility will change. UNDERTAKER-Pastors shout of what was erstwhile alive, but is now a memory! Revelation 3:1-2 speaks of a minster that has a given name that they are "alive, but are nonviable." Tragic.

I admire Caleb in the Book of Joshua. At age 40 he said, "The giants can't hold us back, let's bear the 'Promised Land'." But, the Nation believed the bad chitchat to some extent than Caleb's. So they wandered for 40 time of life in the harsh environment. At age 85, Caleb said, "I poverty to exchange blows the giants in the elevation rural area." The "hill country," no less. At 85 you'd believe he would at slightest submission smooth ground!

Unfortunately, the standard religious is two-chambered up coolly betwixt RISK-TAKERS, CARETAKERS, and UNDERTAKERS. That's why so minute of all time gets done!

Think nearly it, what if a RISK-TAKER-Pastor goes to a CARETAKER-Congregation? He has no curiosity in attractive aid of their "monuments" - he wishes to furnace up to vanquish new territories!

Remember the municipality map? How will you respond?

• UNDERTAKERS - Look for "good hospitals" and a "good stand to retire"
• CARETAKERS - Look for areas beside "good schools" and "good neighborhoods"
• RISK-TAKERS - Look for the uncharted, undiscovered, unexplored land!

Which are you? Which do you privation to be? Your 2007 and farther than look your mind.
