A SPECIAL EDITION OF THE SHEPHERDS WITHOUT BORDERS LIGHTHOUSE BUGLE MAGAZINE !!! MAY 1, 2012

We pay a price to have the Master Builder build our house; the owner builder does it on the cheap with flaws in his house. You get what you pay for, an original or an inferior copy; we have a choice to seek after the deeper things of you Lord, to pay the price for it as we desire it above what we want. Or we can go after the passions and giftings that call out to us, like starting a church or a ministry and do something for YOU, God. We then get frustrated and throw it in, on many occasions as doing something for God is all to hard. We can do nothing for you Lord, the castles or houses that are built by owner builders don’t function and fore-fill their real purpose unfortunately, they create more owner builds that fall into a similar fate. You allow them to succeed for a season or a time, bearing some fruit. The Master Builder, has a far greater purpose, to create the most beautiful building with it own beauty, its own architecture but with a character that reflects its designer and Master Builder. This building will last for ever and ever as it is built with a rock that is purified by fire and all impurities are removed. Look at the Ankor Wat built of Sand stone and then look at the Taj Mahal that is built of Marble not Granite (Marble is soft than Granite)... The wear on the Ankor Wat is not good and it is crumbling in parts and some areas have had to be restored due to weather and the way it is build. The Taj is beautiful it looks like it was built yesterday not centuries ago. The price for something that will last for ever and to be built by a Master at his craft is worth anything to put yourself in his hands and to trust his passion for you. Lord, you say to me “I trust you, but do you really really trust me”? I say Yes, Lord you are the only one I trust, there is none like you, which has the love to see a finished product in it splendour and beauty. I sat out side the Taj Mahal at sunrise with tears running down my eye that a man would go to so much trouble to build a beautiful place for the woman he loves. Now I sit hear with tears as I think, you are doing the same thing for the ones you love but in a far greater way, this is spiritual and not Physical, a castle for those that will allow you to build it, it is a far great beauty and splendour that will be around for ever, while all other things have faded away.

I know when you have finished the castle you are building in us, then I can be used for your purposes as we will reflect only you and the new creation that we have become in you. Wow, what can you do though us then, to be purpose built were I can contain you in me with all of you splendour and to walk in you and you in me in fullness (glory), knowing nothing can touch me.
