Thank you for listening to this message from Damon Thompson Ministries. All right, you're ready? A phrase that I've been hearing repeatedly since being seated

here in this Apostolic seat at the Homestead is it's time to expand the family tree.

What I do not believe leaders need is another organization or network and certainly not another

organizational network,

but they need integration into family.

We are beginning to inherit the detailed blueprints of what this expansion of the family tree is to look like in the days to come and my heart is so incredibly stirred.

As I've studied the life of Christ, the ultimate model of what it means to be a spiritual father in the earth, I'm witnessing a pattern

beginning to be revealed in my heart. Although we know that Jesus obviously had the 12 disciples

that 11 of whom would become apostles.

We also have the witness of 70 others

that would have been a part of that same family tree

and Jesus would have

pouring his heart into that group of 70 as well.

One of the first aspects of this expansion of our family tree here

will be to have three gatherings this coming year

where we expand our wilderness society gatherings from just one night and one

service to a two-day gathering with three services as well as sharing a meal

together in order to facilitate Abba's heart in expanding this family tree. The

first one of those will be January the 31st and February the 1st.

We'll have a Tuesday night wilderness society.

We'll have a Wednesday morning wilderness society.

We'll have a Wednesday afternoon dreamland barbecue lunch together to the glory of God and then that night
