Advice for all Leaders
Leaders! Spiritual Moms & Dads!
This world needs problem solvers who give advice, through the light of Torah.
So many out there need someone who can pray for and with them! Many so-called leaders, rather stand in the pulpit to speak and to be admired, than to serve behind the scenes!
However, it is time when those who came to the end of self, and who know that the Ruach (Holy Spirit) is THE ONE who serves through them, to take a stand and to serve as Yeshua did.
Many out there require the wisdom, which we only can find in Him, “The Great, I AM!”
As Abba is cleaning, purifying, and pruning those, He wants to send, and the world hungers for HIS love and HIS solutions!
Those He prepared, went through many difficult situations themselves. They know where they came from, they know how to do things.
Back in 2005-6 Abba gave me this:
G-d KNOWS the way, Yeshua GOES the way and the Holy Spirit SHOWS the way. As HE, WHO IS TRULY ONE, IS THE WAY!
When we go through many difficult situations, we receive or must I say, build empathy, which is based on practice rather then theory.
When we have gone through many difficult situations, we receive the building blocks that together, will decisively shape the word empathy — these stones are hard-baked from practice and not plasticized, based on distant theory.
I am not saying that a foundation laid by theory does not give the true wisdom, but empathize with someone else’s situation, the hard-acquired wisdom is a deeper bone meter to empathize with the other.
From there, we can help others as an experienced expert. You can help others, with integrity and experience, and with a sensitivity that you do not learn from a book.
Empathy is the ability to put yourself in someone else his/her shoes and to have the courage to admit how you should feel being in that situation.
It demands honesty and the right skills to listen to the other without any form of judging. Those who went through much can help without talking about the issue out of theory, (reading books).
The more we went through deep things ourselves, the deeper we can understand others, and help and advice out of our own experiences.
Without giving a time frame, how long things (need to) take, (healing, forgiving, recover).
Blessings and Shalom over you!

Lovely. Thank you.
So true Catherina, great post.
There is no fakeness found in an overcomer. Each step weighted down with sorrow and pain, these burdens are turned into building blocks that set other captives free.
I recently heard someone say that if there’s no supply then the demand finds the cup empty…this is in line with the wisdom in your post.
Love this so much – thank you for the encouragement.
Thank you Tony! I give all honor and glory to our King! But it has blessed me to receive this positive and encouraging comment! And I love this one: there’s no supply then the demand finds the cup empty. Yes and amen! Blessed day my brother in the Lord!
