So, the RV dealership has been a hellish experience. But, it has been golden and so very educational. The LORD has been great to teach me and very patient while I throw my immature tantrums.
Here’s what’s gone on, and this is big in terms of the apostolic:
- Do NOT run away from hell. You run towards it. That is where the lost are, and they will simply act like lost people do.
- Love them however they need it, whether it be supernatural or natural.
- Change the environment – dont let it change you. This was a hard one. I didnt really have faith for things to change when I was dealing with a bunch of self-willed people. But, you release the Kingdom, and things happen. This is a key for changing cities.
The deal that brought number three home occurred through two events.
The first was the Fury, a trailer that got stolen. Laura and I prayed for it to come back, and it did. One of the sales guys just happened to be going to his wife’s school to take her something, and there it was – parked on the street. We got it back.
The second is even bigger. The GM was recently released. And, one of the Canadian owners is now there doing that job. Well, he has been interviewing everyone. Last week, it was sales’ turn.
When I got in there, he shared what he was doing and said not to worry. I told him that I dont worry. I also told him that if he wanted the truth, I would give it to him. I was probably the most transparent guy there. I have since learned the principle of reserve, where Jesus said that He had more things He would share later because they couldnt handle it all now.
Anyway, he said that he wanted the truth so I started out by telling him on four different times, I was asked to lie, and I am not a liar. I also told Nick that I am not a car salesman and dont manipulate people. Nor would I.
Well, as it turns out, Peter the owner, has been telling everyone not to lie. That has been a big part of why he wanted to interview folks. I just happened to tell him rather than him telling me.
It was very interesting and encouraging. God was breaking the spirit of deception over that place – the very prayer that I had been praying and declaring over that dealership. It actually worked! Ha!
Bless the LORD. He is listening to us. And, He will act when we decree, declare, pray and intercede. It’s a big deal.
I am learning how to be an apostle, I guess.
