The Community Transformation Initiative Empowered Living Just and Moral Living -Supportive Relationships -Grace and Peace The Heart of The Father Fathering is at the deepest heart of God. Jesus taught us to pray, "Our Father." Jesus said, "..., if you have seen Me, you have seen the Father." John the Baptist was to be one in the Spirit of Elijah to turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. This was the opening of the new covenant. 400 years earlier, Malachi closed the old covenant. His last words told us the spirit of Elijah must come to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers for cursing to leave the land. 5.

The Community Transformation Initiative Empowered Living Just and Moral Living -Supportive Relationships -Grace and Peace FAITH TO GAIN that the Anointed One may take up permanent residence and continually dwell in our hearts by faith; Each family or group or business or community needs resources that have to be brought into existence. A father/leader must see into the vastness of need and obtain by faith those resources. He/she must see ahead of the need and believe and lead. 17. The Community Transformation Initiative Empowered Living Just and Moral Living -Supportive Relationships -Grace and Peace Out of the Abundance. Proverbial Wisdoms From Solomon A mans heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps. The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, But a man of understanding will draw it out. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts. Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.

The Community Transformation Initiative Empowered Living Just and Moral Living -Supportive Relationships -Grace and Peace LOVE TO MOTIVATE that all of us being rooted deeply and broadly and set on an extensively firm foundation for our temples in love, may be capable of fully attaining and grasping mentally with all the saints, all expressions of His body, His love Love must be the prime motivator. Anything else will lead in the wrong direction. Love is huge. Love will keep us moving when all other motivations are gone. Love will endure, bear up, hope, believe and sustain the right direction. 19. The Community Transformation Initiative Empowered Living Just and Moral Living -Supportive Relationships -Grace and Peace LOVE TO MOTIVATE may be capable of fully attaining and grasping mentally what is the breadth, and length and depth and height and every possible dimension of His love and to know in experience and real living knowledge useful for daily situations, the love of the Anointed One, which takes excelling knowledge beyond the norm 20. The Community Transformation Initiative Empowered Living Just and Moral Living -Supportive Relationships -Grace and Peace Why Do We Do This? The United States leads the world in fatherlessness with over 40% of our children going to bed without a father present. Fatherlessness is not just physical. It is emotional, social, relational, and spiritual. The active presence of a supportive father brings home and community health. Studies prove that children with this advantage perform better in education, become more caring people, and avoid destructive behaviors. 21. The Community Transformation Initiative Empowered Living Just and Moral Living -Supportive Relationships -Grace and Peace Why Do We Do This? Our fatherlessness is not just fathers. This situation is reflective of the health of our leadership in community, congregation, and home. Good leaders and good fathers are nurturing, committed, caring, alert, aware, involved, protective providers. Good leaders and good fathers are supported and covered in caring community. 22. The Community Transformation Initiative Empowered Living Just and Moral Living -Supportive Relationships -Grace and Peace PRESENCE TO ENERGIZE that we might be filled to overflowing with all the fullness of God. Enthusiasm is a Greek compound word. En mean inside. Theos means God. God Inside Us. Energy that comes from God inside us bubbles up under all need. When a father/leader is tired he/she makes mistakes that can destroy futures. Energy keeps action on behalf of those being led. 23.
