Lesson: Power-struggles

There are stinky power-struggles going on in the Church, whose trigger words include: One Body, many gifts, schism and leadership. Put all of those key words together and you get something like: "Saints who hold their God-given gifts superiorly on top of others." ~WDJ. For example, "You're small, and I'm not." Now, this is the ministry of the SAINTS. This should not be happening in the BODY :(

"There must be balance, saints. The humble man who has Almighty Power." ~WDJ

"That child-like faith that transpires into mountains being moved, miracles occurring-- all under the authority of God." ~WDJ

Matthew 10:24-25,
24The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 25It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

The above scripture verse is telling us that, only in a house of Devils is the disciple above his master and a servant above his lord. We are One unit. There are many gifts in the Body, as scripture informs us [I Corinthians 12:10, 28].

I may have the gift of tongues, and you the gift of prophecy-- we are both Christ-certified. You are not MY leader, you are only my Friend. GOD Almighty is my leader, My Friend, and He works through you AND me. Even so, yes we are to desire to prophesy, because God says we should [I Corinthians 14:39].

Life 101: From Milk to Meat

[photo credit, charismaministries.org]

Hebrews 5:13-14 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Daily Bread

Experiencing God, and staying close. This is where my heart is-- with God. Enveloped in God, deep in His Spirit. I want to stay there and never leave ♥♥ DAILY bread. Daily manna; keep us there dear God.



I like to fall asleep after reading my Word. So peaceful to fall asleep at the hand of your Bible. I love its smell. I sometimes place it under my pillow. You are my serenity Jesus. You are my peace of MIND. My anxiety subsides because of You. You are my soft place to drape myself upon. I lay at Your feet.

All Talk and no Word

I hope we all know where this leads us. These short and pithy lines are what I was inspired to tweet yesterday night. I shared this with the folks on Twitter.

All talk and no Word, is stealing God's time. You're on His clock. All talk and no Word, starves you of your deliverance. All talk and no Word, deprives you of your breakthrough. All talk and no Word, will keep you from what God wants to bless you with. All talk and no Word, will keep you hungry for attention. All talk and no Word, will probably make you fall into sin.

Best,
Whitney

Is this milk, or meat?
What do you think?

I think there is a line in there for every person. I could "flesh" this out some, but I'm thinking it is easily explanatory as a stand-alone. Surely I could offer some biblical references.

I was telling a gal on Twitter the other evening that I desire to be [will be] spirit-led in all things. So, before I am to post anything to my devotional Twitter or my devotional blog, I want to be sure that it's not just me talking, but instead what God desires for His people to know and experience for themselves.

And it is so.

Remember that Book I told y'all about?

That book I told y'all about [http://howdeeplyineedyou.blogspot.com/2009/04/happy-is-he.html], has now become BOOKS. Bless GOD for me right now!

Life 101

Amen, you cannot give what you do not have. The more you have in abundance, the more you will be able to share with others. It is not until you acquire that attribute will you be able to give fully to others and still have a little left over. "You'll never want to invest more than you're willing to lose."

Amen.
