 This afternoon I went to Yeppoon with about 40 other believers for a "Sons Retreat." I'm actually on retreat now as I write this and we are having a very deep time with each other and with God. We are all spiritual sons (and daughters) of Apostle John Alley who is also my real Father and he is mentoring us in the things of God, in our faith and in loving one another and serving each other. Basically he is a bit like a tradesman and we are apprentices....kind of like Jesus and the disciples, except that most of us are already pastors and church leaders in our own right. However we all realize that we cannot be all that God wants us to be on our own and we need other people to watch over us and care for us. Even pastors need a pastor, except that in this case its even better....its a Dad. The Bible is full of this family kind of Christianity and now that we are starting to realize that this is the way God wants it to be, we are beginning to find much more happiness and fulfillment in what we do as we serve the Lord. Over the centuries, and especially recently, Christianity has been very structured and organized and run like a big company. It has been very administrative and a lot of the love and mercy is missing, but God is now helping us to see that as Apostles come back to Christianity, the way God want, that it will become much more family like. Its a good thing. So we are having a special "family retreat" together just for spiritual sons and our mentor.....our spiritual dad. We're having a great time and I'll write more soon. For more about what is a spiritual son, just click. For a more comprehensive article on this subject you can read my Dad's chapter entitled Fathers and Sonship from his latest book "The Apostolic Revelation" |
