A More Excellent Way – How Love Reconciles All Things

23/03/2004 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Lynn | In: Blog, Blog, Healthy Leaders, Body-Soul-Spirit, Blog, Thriving Cities, Family, Blog, Healthy Leaders, Managing Conflict, Blog, Updates, Spiritual Insights

By Lynn Heatley.  In this section, I would like to speak on the nature and overflow of the love of God and how it is an essential aspect in the ministry of reconciliation. In the twelfth chapter of the first book of Corinthians, Paul speaks of the value of spiritual gifts and how all the gifts are needed to have a wholeness that reflects the nature of Christ.  He then transitions into the next chapter by calling his readers to a higher place; a place of understanding of how love is more important than any particular gift.  He summons us to come up higher to a broader place of understanding and lifestyle:  “And now I will show you the most excellent way”.  We will benefit greatly as we follow the Lord in this call to a more excellent way.

The Bridge Tribe

23/03/2004 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Lynn | In: Blog, Blog, Thriving Cities, Faith Communities, Blog, Updates, Spiritual Insights

by Lynn Heatley.  Intro:  I was in an email conversation a few months back with someone from the ReconciliationSchool (www.gracebridge.org). We talked quite a bit about the nature of one who identifies themselves with what I have come to term as the “bridge tribe”. I actually got that understanding through a time of prayer with the Lord. Fawn has encouraged me to expand a bit more on what I have shared, so here it is. I hope that it encourages you and perhaps gives you a bit more understanding.

by Lynn Heatley.  Have you ever had those times of revelation where you felt like a “lightbulb” went on in the interior of your soul?  Sometimes, the Lord leads me on treasure hunts, except usually, I do not understand that I am on one until all the clues suddenly appear together and then they say something dramatic.  So my story begins.

Identity and Finding Our Customized Shoes

23/03/2000 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Lynn | In: Blog, Blog, Updates, Spiritual Insights

By Lynn Heatley. A scene from Cinderella has been emerging in my spirit lately.  It is the famous scene where the king’s primary servant is taking the famous “glass slipper” that had fallen off Cinderella’s foot (in her fast escape) to all the maidens of the land to see which foot the slipper fits into thus revealing who the true owner of the shoe belongs to.

Avoiding Prayer Fatigue – Knowing Your Call

23/03/2000 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Lynn | In: Blog

By Fawn Parish. Fern Noble once said “Know your gift, know your call, know your place along the wall.” Fern Noble’s wise words echo often in my ears. We live in a season of a plethora of prayer passions. (try saying that 10 times fast). With so many prominent prayer needs presented to me, how do I know where to engage?

The Basic Principles of Biblical Peacemaking

22/03/1997 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Lynn | In: Blog, Blog, Healthy Leaders, Body-Soul-Spirit, Blog, Healthy Leaders, Blog, Healthy Leaders, Managing Conflict, Blog, Healthy Leaders, Teambuilding

by Ken Sande.  The Bible provides us with a simple yet powerful system for resolving conflict. This system is summarized in The Peacemaker’s Pledge. These principles are so simple that they can be used to resolve the most basic conflicts of daily life. But they are so powerful that they have been used to mediate and arbitrate bitter divorce and child custody actions, embezzlement situations, church divisions, multi-million dollar business disputes, malpractice lawsuits, and terrible sexual abuse cases. These principles are briefly discussed below.

Longings of the Soul

23/03/1996 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Lynn | In: Blog

By Ken Gire. In J. R. R. Tolkein’s The Hobbit, the magician Gandalf told the reluctant and unlikely hero Bilbo Baggins, “There is more to you than you know.” He said this, knowing that within the hobbit’s veins coursed blood not only from the sedentary Baggins side of the family but also from the swashbuckling Took side. We have a similar mingling of blood within us from a lineage that is both human and divine.

How We Began & Our Current Story

24/03/1995 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Lynn | In: Blog, Blog, Updates, Our History

By Lynn Heatley. God is wonderfully good and faithful to us! I have been involved in various prayer ministries since 1990. In the late 1980’s, the Lord brought me through renewal in my own life and gave me a burden to see others come into His presence and to know His voice and ways. I was involved in teaching and prayer ministry at my own local church in Chino which eventually led to my becoming the Pastor of Prayer.
