Cyrus McGoldrick talks about the importance of knowing who you are and who your community is in building a successful campaign. The word community is too often used cavalierly as an ideal or an imagined backdrop to the work we are doing. We talk about cities as a community but that doesn't really exist. New York City, as an example, is a collection of villages. Can 12 million people share a community? Not really. Even one neighborhood of Brooklyn or the Bronx isn't necessarily one community in a real way. When Cyrus thinks about building campaigns, he tries to focus small, on the things that are immediately around him and the people he's in community with. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nextgenpolitics/message
How useful is it to gather moments before a new calendar year? How can I really secure divine help for the future? Many people have lost faith in the concept of watch night service because they do not receive answers. There are many people who subscribe to prophecy but are very lazy. Prophecy does not work for a lazy man. For instance, when God spoke to Moses, Moses was patient to get more instructions and divine strategies and he acted on them. Prophecies always come with instructions. If it is something you need to do, there will be clear instructions. What is the formula to secure divine help? One factor is purpose. Nothing secures divine help like purpose! As simple as it may sound, this is everything. Some unbelievers seem to have supernatural abilities and live with ease compared to believers. For instance, Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar had dreams of what will happen in the future. The moment your life is aligned with purpose, no matter who you are, you'll enjoy the help of God. Cyrus, the pagan king was an example. In Isaiah 45, God assured Cyrus that he will help him. This was because Cyrus was aligned with his will. In 2 Chronicles 36:22-23, we understand why Cyrus enjoyed the mercies of God. Cyrus' heart was stirred and he freed the children of Israel to go build God a temple for God. When you come to a point in life, where the spirit of God can no longer stir you, you're out of purpose. When Cyrus aligned with God's will, God made sure he could not be stopped. It should not be all about your plan; purpose is the principle of divine help.
Rev. Steven Theiss, retired pastor in Frohna, Missouri, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Isaiah 44. When Cyrus of Persia conquered Babylon, the exiles from Judah didn’t know what to make of it. Isaiah speaks clearly in chapter 45: this is all God’s doing. This event only proves that the gods of Babylon are useless. Why would you cut down a tree and burn one half for fuel and worship the other half as a god? Idolatry is madness! We too waste so much time, effort, and resources on imitations of ourselves, what we make in our own image. Only the Creator can snap us out of it. Like Moses and Cyrus, God has sent our Lord Jesus to rescue us from alienation and guide us to new life.
