THE COFFEE SHOP FROM HEAVEN Christina Hall writes, D. and T. met in 2007. They had both been in unhappy relationships before that, but, at this moment in time, they were both unattached, so their happiness wasn’t built on someone else’s unhappiness. D. was leaving a room she had been renting in a share house in Melbourne, and T. was the one who came to replace her… they were ships that almost passed in the night… but God wasn’t going to let that happen! They met around the time that I was going to be baptised. I had been away from the church and the Bible for 40 years, but the evidence of God’s presence in my life, during that time, was as subtle as a sledgehammer! I couldn’t deny, any longer, that Jesus had drawn me with His cords of love and I couldn’t wait to tell the world. So, D. came to my baptism, all radiant and in love, and with her arms full of beautiful Waratahs for me ( Waratah - Wikipedia ). “Waratah-Flowers” www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezjvz4wS2A0 She and T. had so much in common. They were both involved in the performing arts, and a year later they were married in a very romantic ceremony in The Tambourine Mountain, Queensland. We were shocked when they told us that they were going to move to the country, as we thought they were ‘city people’. They had fallen in love with a miner’s cottage in a small country town. The cottage had been built in the early 1850’s, when gold was discovered in that area. It had remained relatively untouched, except for the addition of water and electricity, and a kitchen and bathroom, in the 1950’s. The cottage had been on the market for a long time, and no one else seemed to see what D. and T. saw in it. We were happy for them, but we did worry that, if the time came when they wanted to sell it, it might not be easy finding a buyer. Ten years went by and slowly the novelty of the place began to wear off…for both of them. Also, they were thinking it might be nice to own a coffee shop… a place where adults could come and have a meal, sit and talk, or read, while children would be happily entertained by different activities. They began looking around for a suitable property, each doing their own research. Finally, T. found a place he liked. D. had also found something she thought would be worth looking at. When they compared notes, they discovered that they both had found the same place! When they went to see the property, they were very excited, as it could easily be transformed into the coffee shop of their dreams! They made an offer (and I have to pause here to give thanks to our Almighty God!). The current owners liked D. and T. and they really approved of their plans for the shop. They said they would hold it for them, no matter how many other offers they received… but, of course, there was a deadline… they had to get on with their lives, too. Now, D. and T. had to sell the cottage, if they were to finance the new property. As we suspected, no one was as enthusiastic about it as D. and T. had been, ten years ago. Many came to see it but no one made an offer. Time was slipping away; the deadline was getting closer and closer. It was a very stressful time for all of us and I should have known better… I knew that God would allow what was best for them… but they had their hearts set on the place and the current owners wanted them to have it. Would they sell it (their country cottage), at all, and if they did, would they get the amount of money they needed? T. later recalled, “It came right down to the wire!” At the last moment, a wonderful woman came through for them… she paid the amount they were asking… enough to pay for the new property with a nice little nest egg left over! “ Hallelujah! Thank God! And why? Because He is good, because His love lasts! But, who on earth can do it - declaim God’s mighty acts, broadcast all His praises!” Psalm 106:1-2 (MSG).

Genesis 33 The Message 33 1-4 Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming with his four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah and Rachel and the two maidservants. He put the maidservants out in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last. He led the way and, as he approached his brother, bowed seven times, honoring his brother. But Esau ran up and embraced him, held him tight and kissed him. And they both wept. 5 Then Esau looked around and saw the women and children: “And who are these with you?” Jacob said, “The children that God saw fit to bless me with.” 6-7 Then the maidservants came up with their children and bowed; then Leah and her children, also bowing; and finally, Joseph and Rachel came up and bowed to Esau. 8 Esau then asked, “And what was the meaning of all those herds that I met?” “I was hoping that they would pave the way for my master to welcome me.” 9 Esau said, “Oh, brother. I have plenty of everything—keep what is yours for yourself.” 10-11 Jacob said, “Please. If you can find it in your heart to welcome me, accept these gifts. When I saw your face, it was as the face of God smiling on me. Accept the gifts I have brought for you. God has been good to me and I have more than enough.” Jacob urged the gifts on him and Esau accepted. 12 Then Esau said, “Let’s start out on our way; I’ll take the lead.” 13-14 But Jacob said, “My master can see that the children are frail. And the flocks and herds are nursing, making for slow going. If I push them too hard, even for a day, I’d lose them all. So, master, you go on ahead of your servant, while I take it easy at the pace of my flocks and children. I’ll catch up with you in Seir.” 15 Esau said, “Let me at least lend you some of my men.” “There’s no need,” said Jacob. “Your generous welcome is all I need or want.” 16 So Esau set out that day and made his way back to Seir. 17 And Jacob left for Succoth. He built a shelter for himself and sheds for his livestock. That’s how the place came to be called Succoth (Sheds). 18-20 And that’s how it happened that Jacob arrived all in one piece in Shechem in the land of Canaan—all the way from Paddan Aram. He camped near the city. He bought the land where he pitched his tent from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem. He paid a hundred silver coins for it. Then he built an altar there and named it El-Elohe-Israel (Mighty Is the God of Israel). * * * https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen+33&version=MSG ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6-INknjia8

GOD’S METHODS Morality cannot be legislated; the true followers of Jesus know that you cannot impose morality with laws. Morality in a society comes from the hearts and minds of people who hold to an internalized set of values based on love for others, seeing others as children of God, of doing to others as they would have done to themselves. Only those who have internalized God’s law into their heart are mature enough to handle the responsibilities that come with freedom. This moral set of values cannot be externally imposed; they must be internally experienced on an individual basis in a love relationship with our Creator God. Only a society composed of people who possess this internal morality - love and respect for others, trust in God, and self-control to restrain themselves from harming others - can experience the greatest liberty. But when otherwise godly people are oppressed by the constant fear-messaging, increasing immorality, and societal decay that they attribute to the godless left, they experience increasing frustration and fear that triggers their survival drives to seek a solution to save themselves, their families, and the society that they love. Satan then steps in to deceive the fear-ridden people that the only way to restore order, to make people safe, to stop the destruction of godlessness is with more government, “better” laws, and stronger authoritarian enforcement. This is the beast of Revelation, the end-time global coalition of religious imperialism advanced with the consent of the people because they are afraid, feel helpless, hopeless, and want to restore order to society. Don’t be deceived into joining the King of the North or the King of the South - stand firm for Jesus, reveal His character by practicing His methods of truth, love, and freedom and, thereby, give Him glory - for this is the time in human history for everyone to see the difference between our Creator God of love and the imperial dictator god of Rome and throw off the imperial god and worship Him who made the heavens, earth, sea, and fountains of water!
