Each of us has a unique calling. Some are called to very public callings and others are called to be hidden in the prayer closet as intercessors. Each calling is equally important to Our Heavenly Father. Each piece to the puzzle is needed to complete the puzzle.
When I was three years old, my parents were so broke that at Thanksgiving Mom fed us chicken noodle soup and told us it was turkey. We grew up in a modest two bedroom house with a floor furnace and no air conditioning other than open windows at night. Back then, we left the front door open and simply locked the screen door for “flow through” ventilation. It was common for us to play outside barefooted in the summer. My life was rich with memories. To get ahead, my Dad and uncle opened up a drive-in cafe and Mom worked 60-70 hours per week. My brother and I worked also. I made 11 cents per hour. I was afraid to ask Dad for a raise so I was content to work at that level for some time.
The point of my little stroll down “Memory Lane” is to share with our readers that I understand what it is to be in need. I never take finances for granted and I don’t feel that I am “entitled” to anything but I am thankful for HIS Grace in my life. When Pam and I were first married, I wanted to go to a Men’s Retreat being held at a lake lodge. The cost was $35 and I didn’t have the money to go. My friend Roy (one of the members of our Bible study) paid my way. I have been forever grateful for this act of Love and kindness. Forty years later we are still the closest of friends.
Our Heavenly Father has led me to write about preparing for the coming volatility and chaos. I know there will be those who are unable to take precautions and set aside funds, food, etc. I trust Our Heavenly Father will supply need and move upon those who have the ability to assist. This is just one of the reasons for www.unity153.net. Wouldn’t it be great for those with extra resources to deploy them to those in need? I believe we are being prepared to fully understand:
Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any [of them] that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
I believe these people had the revelation of Love and I also believe that is why Our Heavenly Father led me to focus on Love beginning in 2005… for such a time as this. When Servias Ministries was organized in 2006, we fully stated in our “mandate” that we planned to distribute to those in need as funds were available, to help the poor, the widows, the orphans, the less privileged. We have done so in a limited fashion to date. As Our Heavenly Father sees fit to fill the HIS Treasury for distribution, we will distribute.
In looking back, HE saw fit to have me experience lack, hunger, failure, isolation, heartbreak, imminent peril so that I would never take for granted anything. HE has made it a point not to trust riches nor take the attitude of the entitled. All of this allows me to have compassion on those in need. Servias is willing to distribute the books at no cost to those in need. They simply must write us. We are willing to acquire “Ransom coins” for those who wish to register for the Census but cannot afford the coins. As a matter of fact, we currently have a surplus of coins set aside for those in need. We are all in this together. Let us each fulfill our individual calling and supply the Body of Christ with our gifts and resources.
If you want to register for the Census, go to www.unity153.net and “Register”. If you cannot afford the coin, mark the box for assistance needed. We will allocate a coin on your behalf. Each coin is specifically assigned by name.
If you want any of the books we offer but can’t afford them, write us at:
