WHAT DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT DESIRE FOR THE CHURCH.

TO QUOTE THE BELONGING COMPANY MINISTRY.
GODS CHILDREN IN THIS GENERATION NEED AND WANT.

"THEY DESIRE ENCOUNTER OVER ENTERTAINMENT, PRESENCE OVER PRESENTATION, INTIMACY OVER INDUSTRY, PEOPLE OVER POSITION, AND JESUS OVER EVERYTHING." (FROM PASTOR ALEX SEELEY)

 WHEN I READ THIS, MY HEART BEGAN TO JUMP, YES, YES! THAT IS WHAT THE CHURCH NEEDS.

 BELOVED, WE THE CHURCH HAVE SETTLED IN THE PAST, FOR THE STATUS QUO. MAN MADE RELIGION.
JESUS WANTS US TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. 

 IT IS TIME TO LET GO OF SOME ACTIVITIES AND FALL INTO THE ARMS OF JESUS.  SPEND TIME WITH HIM.

 GOOD DEEDS ARE GOOD, BUT THEY WILL NEVER TAKE THE  PLACE OF THE WONDERFUL BLESSING OF SITTING AT THE FEET OF JESUS.

 PEOPLE THAT GET BURNED OUT IN MINISTRY ARE DOING TO MUCH IN THEIR FLESH TO PLEASE MAN.  

 THEY SHOULD BE JOYFUL AND CONTENT TO SIT AT JESUS FEET AND GET FROM HIM FIRST, BEFORE THEY GO MINISTER.

 MARY, MARTHA'S SISTER, LEARNED THIS LESSON.

 LUKE 10:39-42
AND SHE HAD A SISTER CALLED MARY, WHO ALSO SAT AT JESUS FEET AND HEARD HIS WORD.

 BUT MARTHA WAS WAS DISTRACTED WITH MUCH SERVING, AND APPROACHED HIM SAYING, "LORD, DO YOU NOT CARE THAT MY SISTER HAS LEFT ME TO SERVE ALONE?  THEREFORE TELL HER TO HELP ME."
AND JESUS SAID, MARTHA MARTHA, YOU ARE WORRIED AND TROUBLED ABOUT MANY THINGS,
BUT MARY HAS CHOSEN THE GOOD THINGS WHICH WILL NOT BE TAKEN AWAY FROM HER.

 BELOVED, IF MORE OF US WOULD LEARN THIS LESSON OF SITTING AT JESUS FEET FIRST, BEFORE WE GO TO SERVE 
THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR BURN-OUT, 
OUR SERVING WOULD BE SUCH A JOY IN OUR HEART. 
NO MATTER WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT LEADS US TO DO.

 BURN-OUT COMES WHEN WE FEEL WE HAVE TO PLEASE MAN INSTEAD OF GOD. DOING TOO MUCH FOR THE WRONG MOTIVE.

 BELOVED, WE ARE THE CHURCH, WE HAVE THE JOY OF THE LORD, WE HAVE ALL WE NEED TO BE 
A BRIGHT SHINNING LIGHT IN THIS WORLD.  

 LET US GET OUR FOCUS BACK ON JESUS.  OFF OF RELIGION, AND ONTO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. 
RELIGION CAUSES THE FOCUS TO BE ON US. 

 IT IS OUR RELATIONSHIP THAT DRAWS US CLOSER TO OUR LORD.

 HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY WITH JESUS. KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON THE KING OF KINGS, HE'S COMING SOON.

 PRAISE HIM, SING TO HIM, WORSHIP HIM FROM YOUR HEART, QUALITY TIME TO START YOUR DAY.

 ITS ALL ABOUT THE HEART CONDITION, THE INNER YOU. 

 JAMES 4:8
DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU.

 REMEMBER JESUS CAME TO SAVE YOUR SOUL, THAT IS, TO CHANGE YOUR REACTIONS, AND YOUR WILL, AND TO FILL YOUR MIND WITH THE THOUGHTS OF HIS WORD THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

 JESUS CAME TO GIVE YOU LIFE, HOPE AND HEALING IN EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE.

 JOHN 10:10
" THE THIEF DOES NOT COME EXCEPT TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY,
I HAVE COME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MAY HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY."

 GOD BLESS YOUR DAY
JESUS LOVES YOU

 LOVE IN JESUS
JOY

THE NEW CHRISTIANTY IS A MIXTURE OF OTHER RELIGIONS FROM OTHER GOVENMENTS.

  We all get excited to see new babes born into God's kingdom.  They are coming in by the millions all over the world. Praise God!! We pray that they will be taught the Bible, be discipled and shown the love of God. They cannot know the fullness of God without reading His word and getting to know Jesus. There is a new Christianity being formed. One without repentance, or accountability, to other believers, full of self, and not dying daily to self. It's full of entertainment, flashing colored lights, all about SELF, ( SERVING EMOTIONS AND LOVING FAVOR) just like the world. Matthew 18:3-4 And He said " Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. "Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Humility is lacking in so many, pride is event in their words and actions in some of the big ministries. I had a beloved brother in Christ...

WHEN INDIFFERENCE ENDS, THAT IS WHEN LOVE BEGINS.

  Don't look for love to come to you, instead, look  where you can give it. Galatians 5:13 For you brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. If you have been buried with Christ in baptism and raised in new life, then stop looking at the old you. Give the love that you always wanted to experience before you met Jesus. That unconditional love. If you noticed while reading the gospels that Jesus went out of His way to show the Fathers love, to provide what real love looks like. Sinners flocked to hear the good news of the gospel. They felt the love. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Beloved, we are to do the same for sinners we know, who have not received Jesus yet. We only receive real love from God when we realize that real love is missing from our life. Conditional love says, I will love you if you please me. G...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
