- The Dominos Effect.com was birthed from a revelation given to me by Our Gracious Heavenly Father. It was in February
2009, while I was in prayer concerning my own walk with Him and my desire to make our world a better place. I can
remember "The Big Question" I had for Him....."How?"
I see so many needs each day all across the world as I correspond with other churches and pastors. Simple, yet urgent
needs....food staples, supplies, bibles, shoes and etc....things we take for granted in the USA are precious to people in our
far away lands and one person nor one church can supply it all. It leaves me to the reality that "alone" I can not change the
world, but together we can. So thus came my big question to God....."How?"
The first thing that the Lord shown me was His Formula. Formula?
Yes, His Formula for Success. The Lord said...."It is okay that Christians desire to raise money. And, it is okay that
churches desire to raise money. It is even okay that Christians raise money and give that money to the churches....but...
Money and Church does not mix!"
Now, the Lord really had my attention by now and as I quietly basked in His Revelation, He continues to show me several
things....
The Church is for ministering ONLY!
Money raised for any reason should be raised
"Outside" the church...and we are not talking
about the parking lot.
No items for sale of profit nor money raised for
benevolence purposes is to be done in the Name
of or in the Presence of the Church
The
Dominos Effect...
What it is and How it Works
Dominos Effect...
What it is and How it Works
WOW! And for years I had been party of such activity, wholeheartedly, in whatever church my husband and I
attended or ministered in. Our former website even included fund raising. It certainly was an eye-opener to me. I
was in full agreement with Him. It all made perfect sense. I continued to ask of Him to show me deeper "How" does
all this work. The next thing the Lord shown me was a set of dominoes. Plastic inanimate game pieces, each
supplied with a set of dots predestined to note their value. Useless, unless purchased and played. However, in the
hands of the one who purchases them, they can by their Master's own will and desire, be created into a beautiful
arrangement that can be transformed into a beautiful "masterpiece" by the "action" of one. With the flick of a single
finger, the starting domino collides with the second. The second with the third and so on, until the end.
As the dominoes clicked against each other in my mind, I realize that this is how the "Great Commission" works.
(Matthew 28:19-20) Out of the Master's hand, we are hard, cold useless pieces, with no purpose showing in our
lives. Predestined yes, of what our calling is, but unfruitful until the Lord Jesus who purchased our redemption
through his blood, becomes our Lord and Master through Salvation. Then as we become part of His Family and He
places us in the palm of His hand, we are capable of unlimited masterpieces, created by our Lord and fulfilled by us.
The obedience of the past faithful is the reason we know Christ today. We are the link for those who do not know
Christ yet and for those not yet born. It is like ripples in the water. One drop of water starts this chain reaction, a
movement spreading outward. And no one knows where it will end. It is our Christian duty to carry on the Great
Commission. Jesus commanded it. One Christian nor one church can carry the weight of the world. It MUST be a
joint effect of all of us.
I praised the Lord for such a revelation. I thank Him that He showed me His heart. But now, in my heart there is a
heaviness that I know He feels, too. Far too many Christians live a "stale" life. The evilness of this world abounds,
more now than it ever has been before. Sinners and Christians alike become entangled in it's web. Many Christians
loose their 'fire" and become cold, insensitive and as spoke of in "The Revelation" of the Holy Bible, has left their
First love, which was Jesus Christ. Our world is in a State of Apostasy. So showing Christians what the Father
desires of us in some cases is not enough. Christians need to be rejuvenated. I wish it was simple as attaching
jumper cables to their ears and starting the engine, but it is not.
So www.thedominoseffect.com was born. We have under the Unction of the Holy Spirit designed a Christian
Community Interactive Website where Christians can browse and interact with other Christians and encourage them
on their quest. It is also a place where all who will, can become involved in outreach ministry and donate to any of
the charities listed. The site is also a welcomed sight to sinners and the wayward as well. It is our desire that all may
come...share their feelings, thoughts, collect information and become involved with Christ. There is always more to
learn of Christ. Whether you are meeting Him for the first time or you have been a Christian for years. It is our goal
to wake up Christians out of their sleep and slumber, for Jesus Christ is coming again soon. The harvest is
plenteous but the laborers are few. He is coming for a bride without spot and wrinkle, whose wick is trimmed and
their lamps full of oil. Our work for Him is not a little one, so please consider joining The Dominos Effect as we
complete God's beautiful Masterpiece together.
