Is 2022 going to be another year of 'cop out' Christians ? By that I mean, well, a number of things but primarily when shown and sometimes even lovingly 'confronted' with error that has for the most part been GENERATIONAL in the churches, they start scrambling for any reason NOT to believe what is shown them. It appears to not matter how simple, how logical, how inspirational this (to them) NEW truth Is, they will come up with excuses like "oh if it's not presented in a 'lovingly way', then I refuse to believe it" or "is it possible that there is 'another' meaning/way/interpretation it could be understood ?"
Really ? So who determines what 'lovingly' is ? You? me ? or the Word of God where love has conditions, love has 'teeth' to it like a sharp two edged sword...remember that one ? Of course you do ! Oh but only when convenient or when it fit's your narrative or when it's talking about someone else ?
Another meaning ? interpretation ? So who determines how or what to determine scripture meaning and implication ? You ? me?
I thought the Bible says in 2 Peter 1:20,21 the Bible interprets ITSELF ?!
I'm trying my best to remain positive BUT I'm not counting on 2022 being much differn't to this year gone, or the one before that, or the one before...

Who would have thought ??!! In our teaching tonight we 'discovered' the nine manifestations of holy spirit mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12 are ALL in the one verse of Philippians 2:13..."For it is God that worketh IN you (the first three 'INSPIRATION' manifestations. speaking in tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophesy) both to will (God wills as the holy spirit gives us the 'REVELATION' manifestations, word of knowledge, word of wisdom, discerning of spirits) and to DO (the last three 'IMPARTATION' manifestations, faith, miracles, healings).....of or FOR His good pleasure OMG !!!....WOW !!!

Pouring with rain outside, going through another teaching..WOW !!!
Psalm 37:4 "delight YOURself in the Lord..." Our first responsibility is to delight OURselves in the Lord....not my responsibility to delight someone else, nor theirs to delight me ! I'm not responsible to delight the Pastor, Prophet or anyone else in church no matter how lovely or sincere they may be until I'm first delighted...
And I'm to delight myself IN the Lord...so... I cannot delight myself in something I do not know nor yet understand. The more I UNDERSTAND the more I can delight !!!

Once upon a time, (a long, long time ago in fact), there was an argument amongst the body about which part was the most important. The eyes argued they were the most important because without them the rest of the body may walk off a cliff and perish.
Then the ears piped up and declared they were most important as without hearing the rest of the body may not hear a bus coming and get run over.
The mouth then screamed "without me the body cannot eat or drink and will quickly perish".
There was silence and then the bum hole said in a quiet squeaky voice "I reckon I'm the most important because without me..." before it could finish the other body parts were rolling around with laughter (I know, sounds a bit ridiculous, right) So the bum hole in embarrasment closed up shop.
Within two days, the eyes got blurry, the ears blocked up and the mouth couldn't take any more food into it. They then all agreed the bum hole was the most important out of them all !
I think of 1 Corinthians 12:12-24
For the body is not one member, but many
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body ?
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
But now are they many members, yet but one body.
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
Nay, much more those members of the body, WHICH SEEM TO BE MORE FEEBLE ARE NECESSARY.
And those members of the body, WHICH WE THINK TO BE LESS HONOURABLE, UPON THESE WE BESTOW MORE ABUNDANT HONOUR; and our UNCOMELY PARTS have MORE ABUNDANT COMELINESS.
For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, HAVING GIVEN MORE ABUNDANT HONOUR TO THAT PART WHICH LACKED.
I know, you know, that the 'big picture' is talking about how every Christian is part of the body with differn't functions.
Let us however draw down, go a bit deeper, scratch the surface and go 1 Corinthians 2:10 depth beyond depth !!
The eyes and ears represent the 'revelation' or revealing manifestations, the hands and feet the 'impartation' or action manifestations. The loins area (containing the reproductive organs, the 'uncomely' parts) represents the 'inspiration' manifestations of 1 Corinthians 12. Speaking in tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophesy.
EVERY TIME we manifest that gift of holy spirit within us i.e. speaking in tongues or in a body of believers interpretation of tongues and word of prophesy we are bringing NEW LIFE !!
Isaiah 57:19
I CREATE THE FRUIT of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
WOW !!!!
Speaking in tongues, interpretation of tongues and prophesy are often in churches considered feeble and unnecessary, lacking compared to the other manifestations YET God considers them deserving of more abundant honour !!
Hope this blesses someones day !! xx

We shared tonight some GeMs (God moments) from Psalm 35:10
All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor (humble) from him (satan) that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth (ransacks, steals, health, vitality, possessions from) him.
We need to get to and stay at that point in our Christian walk where ALL OUR BONES SAY...all our being...gives God His rightful place and deserved respect in our lives.
The figure of speech 'personification' (giving voice or movement to inanimate objects, i.e. "the rocks cry out and sing") to EMPHASIZE the point of our whole body and mind synchronizing WITH WHAT WE SPEAK OUT OF OUR MOUTHS....the greek word is homologos (confess or say the same thing the Word says !!!) That's when we know and God knows we mean business and satan better flee, scram, depart.
But then we took this a 1 Corinthians 2:10 further, deeper and tied it in with Hebrews 4:12 The Word of God being sharp enough to divide joints and marrow in a body, how the marrow in the bones is the 'sweet savour' that gives the bones their taste and how our undivided praise and especially when we are s.i.t. IS that sweet savour unto God the Father !
The 'synchronized life' and the key being 'homologos' (lining up the confession out of the mouth on lips of believing with what is in the heart) power chargers our Christian walk.
You see, 'believing' is NOT about gritting your teeth and trying to maintain a 'positive' attitude in spite of. Believing comes by way of making the logical connections between all aspects of the Word (like we've just done) and being excited about what gets you excited.
You don't have to be excited by the same things that get me excited concerning things in the Word of God but be excited at your level of persuasion 🙂 Love ya !

A MOST GENUINE SUBSTANCE
Reality is the object of many a search,
Looking for it in school, the streets, the church,
But the true essence of the real,
The enemy works and sweats to conceal,
It is created within the spiritual DNA by the Creator,
The seed of His nature set in the body of the Believer,
A most genuine substance, the authentic Real,
A power vivified beyond mere feel.

The round k**b of our bathroom door had become harder and harder to open. Took 2 to 3 twists to open and close door and if left would more than likely seize up all together meaning the cost and hassle of fitting a new one.
I came home early from work today under the weather (flu ?) and put my feet up for a bit to rest, decided to have a shower and before going in remembered the door k**b ! I said to myself "soul, I will now go to the shed and grab the WD40 and using the nozzle attachment, I will spray thou latch".
Two light sprays and 'voila' FIXED. Talking about a smooth as silk latch baby !!
I'm reminded how it says in Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Notice it's in the singular NOT PLURAL...God will supply all our need one by one....our job is to not let them pile up to become NEEDS...believe God to take care of them one by one.
If it's broken, fix it or throw it. If you haven't worn or used something for years, sell it, or give it away. I guarentee you'll feel lighter, brighter, happier, satisfied...the feeling of turning that door k**b without struggling is all of the above 🙂

DIVINE SECRETS
Divine secrets, living on the edge of forever,
Expecting that which cannot be imagined,
The down payment of His grace projecting syllables of representation,
Transcending my mind, arousing spiritual energy to levels unsurpassed,
Like Paul's visions, John's words miniaturized,
God's future palpable, cognizant and idealized in spiritual heart,
That which resides beyond the firmament,
Readied to unveil in full array to my awareness,
The Father takes me miles beyond my internal horizons,
With energized words of praise and beseeching,
Catalyzing His Logos into the vitalized brilliance of divine secrets,
Illuminating my heart with intimate treasure,
Gently and vibrantly leading me beyond the confines of my soul,
To expanses of awareness, starbursts of reflecting splendor,
Divine soliloquies, transcending the mundane, the elevated real.

1Timothy 1:2
Unto Timothy, my own son (true child) in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ephesians 5:1
Be ye therefore followers (imitators) of God, as dear children;
Timothy had 'endeared' himself to the Apostle Paul just as we 'endear' ourselves to God. How does this happen, this 'endearment', this 'deep fondness' ?
It comes by way of appreciation. Appreciation of Paul by Timothy because Timothy appreciated what had been given to him. First the Word of God, then, the trust, the love, the sacrifice of Pauls life and ministry to enable, embolden, grow Timothy...."and the thing which you have heard of me amongst many witnesses the same commit to faithful men and women who shall be able to teach others also"- 2 Timothy 2:2
Just as we appreciate what was recorded in John 3:16, the 'faithful', the 'committed', the 'able to teach' is reserved for them who appreciate what they have, what they've been given.

To all our FB friends...Friday 2 July and the remaining 4 Fridays of that month (total 5) we will be doing an Email study with anyone who desires to know more about the Isaiah 45:3 'Treasures of Darkness and Hidden Riches in Secret Places' and just how pertinent and relative they are for Gods' people today to shine in a rapidly darkening and perverse world/generation.
Oh...and we will tie it in with the 4 things mentioned in Proverbs 30:18-19 that Solomon could never figure out and no-one in the churches today can either !!
Prepare to get SPOILT 🙂 No fancy words, spiels, cliches, guessing...just straight from God's Word where EVERY TRUTH must fit in the framework of the 1 Corinthians 12 'manifestations'
Again, this is an email study. We're not doing it via facebook where any Tom, Dick or Dick can drop in with their 5 cents worth but only with those we know are genuinely hungry and thirsting FOR THE MORE...so please email your addy to [email protected] if you want to be part of this journey !! LUV YA
