Another Reconfirmation on BoW Next Steps
Posted on November 1st, 2010 No commentsContinued from this entry
Lord Jesus. I’m struggling with the direction you provided regarding filing for non-profit status. Is this truly your will? It’s quite burdensome, and very official and binding, so I want to make sure I do the right thing.Michael, re-read all entries on non-profit status.Ok, so the first mention was on 10/25 when I asked if I could proceed with it. This was after I had already set up the PayPal account to accept donations in order to potentially fund greater focus on the project. You provided clarity that it wasn’t needed yet, and money wasn’t needed yet – I was getting ahead of myself.The second mention is on 10/30 when you told me that I “may file for non-profit status”. When asked to confirm your will, you said that the status would be needed if the ministry was “going to have any hope of a donation of any size” and that “you need to establish the corporate entity to conform with your laws”. Then you said later that you are directing me “toward non-profit so that money is not the focus”.
So, in the net of it, I’m still uncertain whether you’re allowing me to do something that I thought was right, or whether you’re asking me to file for non-profit status.
Michael, what does it really matter right now? I said you may file, not that I want you to file. I’m giving you permission, not direction. I’m not giving you direction at this time on this matter, which means that filing for non-profit status would not impede my ultimate will, other than causing you to spend a bit of extra time on something. In either case, the money is not the issue. The project will be funded if your heart is right and you stay tuned in to me.So… may I wait to file for incorporation?Yes, Michael. You may wait on this.Let me rephrase. What do you want me to do in terms of incorporation?I don’t want anything in this regard at this time. That doesn’t mean I want you to do nothing, it just means I’m not asking for anything. So, you can do something or you can do nothing, it’s your choice.I choose to focus my time on what you are positively directing me to do. This is not my project, and I’d rather have more time available to carry out the tasks you positively set before me, rather than follow my own idea of next steps.Sounds like a good idea. Then get back to reading your journal entries.Yes, Lord.
