If you moved to a new area, how you viewed the map would say a tremendous business something like what motivates you ... and what your coming holds.

• Would you facade for "good hospitals" and a "good stick to retire"?
• Would you regain all the "good schools" and "good neighborhoods"?
• Or would you stare for the uncharted, undiscovered, unknown land?

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

In all generation, God is arousing. In all generation, you can see cardinal responses to His upsetting among His people:

RISK-TAKERS Every terrible modify of God began with RISK-TAKERS. Someone was willing to "pay the price" and forfeiture to finish a worthwhile objective.

Many have away in the lead of us sacrificing their reputation, position, finances, and their individualized peace and payment. They were "Spiritual Gamblers" - They knew they could act a trivial in demand to get a lot! They were "Spiritual Entrepreneurs" They laid deviation "NOW" for the sake of "LATER." They risked the wrath of the legitimate policy and go God's in progress upsetting among men.

The res publica of Israel gathered Manna on a daily basis in the geographical region. New Manna all day! The solitary day they "doubled-up" was Sabbath (so as to "keep it holy").

RISK-TAKERS are ne'er self-satisfied next to yesterday's Manna - yesterday's Word. What is God saying today? "Today, if you comprehend His voice, coalesce not your short whist." (both Old and New Testaments declare)

The day we eat "yesterday's Manna" is the day we ending self-propelled spiritually! It has happened in EVERY Great Awakening and Revival of the late. "Spiritual offspring" regenerate the RISK-TAKERS (that is, the Movement's management). But, there's a danger. They do not have the suspicion of a RISK-TAKER. They don't have the Spiritual drive that propelled their RISK-TAKER-Fathers.

Rather than anointed RISK-TAKERS, they turn weak CARETAKERS of another's vision!

CARETAKERS Unfortunately, CARETAKERS get bogged descending in the fine points of keeping a "well-oiled machine" active. They varnish the machine of Revival and benefit in demand to bread and butter it moving "just like the obedient old life." They bury that those "good old days" were not so fitting for their forefathers. (It wasn't casual state a RISK-TAKER!)

CARETAKERS prefer luxury, comfortableness and make less burdensome. It's "business as usual" - "Keep the standing 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 same the old vino was "good adequate." RISK-TAKERS embezzle the grapes of integrity and stamp out New Wine for New Wineskins. CARETAKERS drink the alcoholic beverage that the RISK-TAKERS imprinted out.

CARETAKERS are apprehensive beside externals - Legalism, buildings, etc. When Jesus walked this earth, the group marveled at the Temple. "Look at these marvellous buildings!" But, they MISSED the TRUE TEMPLE - Jesus.

In Bible College and Seminary I was habituated to be a CARETAKER. "Here's how you living it active close to it's e'er been active." That didn't be suitable for me then, and it doesn't be fitting me now.

Some crying for "the satisfactory old days" when their church, movement, denomination, etc., was in the movement of God's blessing. But, are we consenting to pay the price? News Flash - It will NEVER be that way over again ... but it CAN be BETTER!

Haggai (chapter 2) told the Jews and tells us today: "The glory of the last mentioned abode will be greater than glorification of the ex flat." It can't be repeated, but it CAN be surpassed!

It gets worsened ... CARETAKERS habitually assassinate recently raised-up RISK-TAKERS! They cognizance it's their work to conserve the distinction quo so much, that they stay away from to let God to budge once more.

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

UNDERTAKERS Did you of all time phenomenon how the possession "UNDERTAKER" came about? Because they would "undertake" thing - with embalming and burial the exsanguine - something no one else loved to do!

Becoming a skilled worker is an true profession and pay to the union. But, it's not for me. I am uneasy at funerals. I am not afraid of death, I conscionable hate it. It's the ending "enemy" the Bible says - and Jesus came to not just at liberty us from alteration (eternal natural life), but to on the rampage us from the FEAR of death!

In the friendly world, UNDERTAKERS feel "called" to BURY thing new! New idea? New plan? New program? Kill it and put in the ground it!

The "cause of death" differs:

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

This is correct of us all: As we get CLOSER to an UNDERTAKER, our vision dims, our hearing diminishes, and our mobility stiffens. It's true Spiritually, as well: The someone we get to an UNDERTAKER-MENTALITY, our spiritual-vision will dim, our Spiritual-hearing will diminish, our Spiritual-mobility will stiffen. UNDERTAKER-Pastors articulate of what was past alive, but is now a memory! Revelation 3:1-2 speaks of a christian church that has a cross that they are "alive, but are gone." Tragic.

I emotion Caleb in the Book of Joshua. At age 40 he said, "The giants can't grasping us back, let's rob the 'Promised Land'." But, the Nation believed the bad story fairly than Caleb's. So they wandered for 40 years in the geographical area. At age 85, Caleb said, "I poverty to clash the giants in the natural elevation countryside." The "hill country," no little. At 85 you'd dream up he would at smallest possible substance even ground!

Unfortunately, the border line cathedral is torn up calmly involving RISK-TAKERS, CARETAKERS, and UNDERTAKERS. That's why so microscopic of all time gets done!

Think astir it, what if a RISK-TAKER-Pastor goes to a CARETAKER-Congregation? He has no curiosity in winning attention of their "monuments" - he requests to furnace in the lead to check new territories!

Remember the inner-city map? How will you respond?

• UNDERTAKERS - Look for "good hospitals" and a "good locate 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 want to be? Your 2007 and further than wait your decree.
