Letter to the Camp

To the entire Camp: Last nights attendance as well as last Thursdays attendance was unacceptable, especially considering what season we are in. Many members of the camp are going through some horrible times right now, and most have no idea because of there lack of commitment to the camp. As I looked at Pastor Mo standing in front of all 10 of us last night, God spoke this to me….

“The burden of the entire camp is resting on the “Faithful Few.” Those few will receive their reward, but the camp as a whole will not see greater works because the faithful few is so very few.”

As long as our meetings have 8-10 members in attendance (last night even included a visitor), our camps cry from our lips of “Greater Works Lord, use us Lord, take us to the next Level, we are ready to infiltrate the industry….” Is a faint whisper to God compared to our actions that suggest “I am happy with my portion, I am NOT WILLING to do what is required, and I AM NOT WILLING TO SUBMIT TO MY PASTOR who has called for us to meet weekly.

I don’t care what your role in 12 Strings is. If you consider yourself a part of 12 Strings, you should be at these meetings. I take total responsibility for my actions that lead to the camp not getting where I feel like God wants us to be, but I will hold each and every one of you accountable for your role that you play in that. I believe that everyone should have that attitude, and if you are not willing to be held accountable for your actions, then you need to step down. The same faithful few grind during the “less glamorous” things like meetings and fasting, yet everyone and their mother comes out to the events, and I assume we will have more people at our get together on Sunday than we did at our meeting on Thursday. Why? Because everyone is not making this a priority. If it’s not important to you and if your not ready to grind. Step down. Otherwise, when I call you out in public or in private; don’t get mad at anyone but yourself.

If it sounds to you like I’m angry, than praise God. That means that even in your current complacent state you still have discernment. Praise God you haven’t yet lost that. Faithful few, I thank you for being faithful.

If this announcement makes anyone upset towards me, praise God for conviction. You were probably absent with no reason. If this announcement doesn’t make you angry, it’s probably because your heart is with the season, but for legitimate reasons you could not attend last night or last Thursday. Be prepared for a change that will keep you accountable. If your not ready for that accountability, step down now. As Pastor Mo said at Apex, “We do honorable discharges and dishonorable discharges…”
