What is YOUR Issue?

“What is your ‘issue of blood’ (‘like’ the lady with same in the Bible who pursued and received a supernatural, healing touch from Jesus!)? Is it physical or spiritual, ‘like’ sabotaging your own success by ‘reason’ of (feelings of) unworthiness and/or attitudes and actions of ‘over and under-kill’? Character flaw(s), generational curse(s) and/or enemy stronghold(s) plaguing your life? Christ has already conquered these and wants to cure you, Fellow Struggler-Pioneer!”

Pithy Insights in Jude

“Jude makes intriguing comments on how to reach those who need God:

First, be filled with faith by praying in the spirit (v.20);

Second, keep yourself in the love of God (v.21);

Third, have compassion on those doubting (v. 22);

Fourth, rescue others from the flames (v. 23);

Fifth, show mercy tempered with fear (v.23).” Pastor/Author Ken Gurley, The Book on Prayer, pg. 251.

Cry Out to God

“Working harder and smarter is not always the answer. Since (true) life moves at the speed of relationships, those we try to change usually believe they work harder and are more intelligent than us. TRY TEARS.” Pastor/Author Ken Gurley, in The Book on Prayer, pg. 250.

“Faith-fool?”

“Faith is saying ‘yes’ (to God) before you’re ready!” Apostolic Pentecostal Preacher in wonderful message at Long Beach, CA

Churchwork

“I don’t ‘go to church’ anymore; I go to…’assemble’.” Brother/Musician/Man-of-God/Friend-of-mine, Ron Wilson San Antonio, TX. (In other words, He IS {part of} the Church, Christ’s Bride and Body and People on Earth and, therefore, embraces ‘Lifestyle Christianity,’ living for God {not self}, by His Grace, every day!).

New Perspective(?)

People are searching more for experiences (good feelings) than knowledge (real wisdom) and belonging (community) more than truth and liberty, especially in these Last Days of deception we find ourselves in. Why is this? I believe it’s because truth is objective and confronts ‘our’ lies and waywardness. The Good News? If we’ll embrace it by accepting responsibility and partner with God (which includes His Word and His People), Who longs to write HIS-story with our everyday lives, we can get…and stay…powerfully free. Then others, who are also Hungry, will learn to “follow us, as we follow Christ,” which fosters ‘world-change’ and even greater joy! Epiphany to me, dkb 9/8-9/9/24.

Pop Op? NOT!

“What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner, ‘I stand for consensus’?” Late British Prime Minister, Margaret (Baroness) Thatcher

Ultimate Justice

“(God’s) Love is more just than justice.” Henry Ward Beecher (as found in Stormie Omartian’s devotional, That’s What Love is For, pg. 52.

What REALLY Matters?

When you die, you’ll have to let go of everything without any choice so why not exercise your power-to-choose and minimize now, getting blessed with the joy of giving…and also being less encumbered with temporal things that truly do not satisfy? In this ‘Joy-of-generosity’ sowing, you shall indeed reap way Beyond your deepest desires and most extravagant imagination. Ephesians 3:16-20.
