HARTLEY’S GROUP & DEEPER WATERS
VISION AND VALUES

OUR LIFELONG
MESSAGE & THEME FOR THIS HOUR ON THE EARTH:
First set a ‘Pillar of Understanding; to build on.
We have a responsibility before the Lord every time we communicate.
FIRST, we
are called to see ‘CITIES THAT LOVE GOD WELL’ in all arenas of life
and are to touch the nations
(Deuteronomy 6 / 1 Chronicles 15 / Psalm 24 / Cities of Refuge /
Habitation). These cities change nations and have a commission to be
sent. They will reflect the forgotten faces of God.
SECOND,
we are to call forth those who will “SING THE SONG OF WISDOM OR “AUTHENTIC
HEART CRY’”
in the marketplace, in all of life and on the wall. These individuals
(City Builders) would rebuild these cities to love God well. You are them!
THIRD, we
are to equip City Builders with the right “SPIRITUAL ADVANCE TOOLS”.
We are committed to seeing City Builders sing their Song of Wisdom. With them,
they would be able to rebuild cities according to loving God well and help
others discover the ‘Forgotten Faces of God’ all across the cities, in every
arena of life.
They would
be equipped with the Advance Tool of the “DIVINE CRY”. This is
the “RUTH CRY” or your “RUTH ROAR, REACH & RECLINE”.
FOUR VALUES TO BE WALKED OUT BY "CITY
BUILDERS"
“City Builders” would need to walk out four specific values in
order to successfully rebuild ‘Cities of Love’, according to the love of God.
VALUE #1 - To
“Heal & Expand” the View of God in All of Life (Ezekiel 36:21)
The current view of God in the marketplace is not OK. He is to be seen as our
partner and not as distant. God is not just ‘God in the corner of the church’.
He is the ‘God of All Life’! We are to help restore the ‘Forgotten Faces of
God’ within the marketplace and every institution of life. We are to say “No
More!” to the fear and greed model of business and to help say “Yes!” to the
benevolent face of God and His ways. Through the simplicity and purity of God’s
love, cities will be redeemed, hearts will be reached and the vulnerable will be
cared for.
VALUE #2 - To
Help the Joseph’s Be Tilted Back Up (2 Corinthians 7:3).
There are many who have
legitimate callings in the marketplace who are to build cities that love God
well and to bring the Kingdom of God into the marketplace. Our goal is to
validate their callings and to equip them for their fruitful love expressions
unto God in all of life. Joseph’s are to see great value in themselves to
mentor others and care enough about each other to get their own unique worship
and call in God.
VALUE #3 - To
‘Lend a Hand and a Plan’ to the Next Generation (Malachi 4:6).
Commitment to raise up
youth and to really see them to smile at their future. They want to see young
ones raised up as ‘Champions of Life’ and not allow them to be ‘wanderers’ in
the land. They will give the youth the right tools and opportunities to grow in
their ‘Kingdom Callings’ and in their love for God.
VALUE #4 - To
Restore “Prayer” as the Chief Building Methodology.
To re-establish the principle of ‘building on our knees’ in devotional and
intercessory prayer as our ‘Chief Building Methodology’. We are committed to
knowing God in the marketplace; to stop and be with Him first before building,
to consider God and His plan first and foremost. We are committed to the
establishment of prayer for the exaltation of Jesus in cities and in the
marketplace until He returns. Life if about encountering Jesus through
devotional prayer (ACTS or ‘land phone’), encountering Christ in all activities
of the day (‘cell phone’) and hearing God’s prophetic heartbeat (‘walkie
talkie’).
