Ears to Hear

Good Morning,

The Spirit Of The Lord says;

    All that hear and hearken to My voice
in these times when confusion attempts to cause you to be moved,
will from my Word receive double honor.  Stand and believe Me because of
My Word and I will give you double for your shame.  Those who are being
led by My Word and not by their emotions or by their circumstances and
all who will not give up will reap the rewards of their harvest.  As the
days become more and more difficult, some that sat at My table will
leave My house for the momentary pleasures that bring a lifetime of
misery.  Yet, I will have a remnant that will stay true and faithful
to Me and My Word.  I and my Word are one and that will never change.  I
Am watching those who are faithful to My Word, so that I may shower
over them blessings.  They will be My Josephs' in this season.  Families
will be preserved because of their faithfulness to do My Word.  I will
instruct them in the night season with dreams and visions.  They will
have witty inventions and creative ideas in a time when all seems
lost.  Supernatural wisdom will be given to them, because they have
kept themselves pure and holy.  Just like Joseph they will refuse to be
dictated to by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the
pride of life.  They know how to run when faced with sin for a season. 
They will still be holy.  This will be the holy remnant that have kept
themselves as virgins in this world, choosing to be holy vessels in
these last days.  To be the dwelling place for My glory to shine forth. 
My glory will go forth through the wisdom and abilities that My holy
people will exhibit to a world that is in chaos.  Peace, I speak to my
children, peace I command to rest upon My obedient ones.  Be empowered
to prosper in every area of your life.  I have commanded My angel army
to be at your side, to assist in all of the kingdom affairs.  You will
succeed and nothing will hinder.  All that the enemy thought would
hinder you will turn around and annihilate his plans and purposes
against you.  You will step over his snares and traps this season and
not give his plans a second thought, because you will cast down every
high thing, every lie and cunning device.  They are old devices that are
known to Me and the Kingdom, deceitful, prideful and  full of lies.  Be
strong in Me and declare boldly to the spirit of the enemy, I will not
stop, go back or give up.  Have a single vision now, do not be
distracted, run to win.       

    Many may fall at your right and left, but
because you have made Me your Refuge, you will be stable.  I Am going
through My garden to remove the tares that have grown and entangled
itself around my true plant.  Draw your energy from the deep roots you
have in Me.  My children that have placed their trust in Me will grow
deeper in Me, for now more than ever they know that I Am their true
hope.  This transition has hemmed you in to Me and my Word.  We are truly
becoming One.

Love,

Pastor D.
 
Scripture Reference; Isaiah 61:6-9;-You will be called priests of the Lord, ministers of our God.  You will feed on the treasures of the nations and boast in their riches.  Instead of shame and dishonor, you
will enjoy a double share of honor.  You will possess a double portion
of prosperity in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.  For, I
the lord love justice.  I hate robbery and wrongdoing.  I will faithfully
reward My people for their suffering and make an everlasting covenant
with them.  Their descendants will be recognized and honored among the
nations.  Everyone will realize that they are a people that the Lord has
blessed.

Good Morning,
    As we continue to delve into the final frontier of holiness, we
must remember that our hearts are the ground that the seed of the word
will produce in.  Therefore it is imperative to keep our hearts tilled with a continued watering from the Word of God, otherwise it is easy for you to harden your heart against the Word and especially those who bring truth of the Word to us. (read–Mark 4: 12-20)
    The prophetic Word can and does foretell, exhort, encourage,
warn and instruct.  All of us love to hear and receive the Word that
encourages, exhorts, and even foretells as long as it benefits us.  Yet,
warning and instructing with the authority of God's voice and His Word
are as much a part of the prophetic as anything else.  You must always
keep a teachable and humble heart and be willing to change.  The ground
of your heart will determine your future fruit.  We will examine several
examples of the Prophets speaking to Kings and those in authority and
the responses of the ground of their hearts.
    Today, let's look at one whose ground was pliable and humble,
David.  David's sin was clearly revealed  to the Prophet Nathan.  Read II Samuel 12:1-11; God
uses Nathan to correct, rebuke, forewarn and foretell of David's
future, because of his sin of adultery and murder.  Let's read verses
12-13, here Nathan is prophesying the word of the Lord to King David
"Thus says the Lord, Behold I will raise up evil against you out of
your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give
them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of
this sun
For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel.,
and before the sun.  And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the
Lord.  And Nathan said to David, The Lord also has put away your sin;
you shall not die."
    David's sin
was exposed by the Lord to save his soul from hell.  David the king,
repented when the prophet uncovered his unholiness.  David humbled his
heart to the truth of God's Word
brought by the prophet, even though his sin had consequences that were
dire.  Now, remember, David was king, he could have had Nathan
executed, put out, thrown in prison, etc.  We all know that when truth is
revealed and sin is uncovered, most of us would allow pride to raise
its ugly head, by being hurt, offended or mad.  We must never be foolish
enough to allow the pride of heart to deceive us.(
Obad.
3) "A man's pride will bring him low, but he who is of a humble spirit
will obtain honor.  By pride and insolence comes only contention (anger,
madness), but with the well-advised is skillful and Godly wisdom.  When
swelling and pride come, then emptiness and shame come also, but with
the humble (those who are lowly, who have been pruned or chiseled by
trial, and renounce self) are skillful and Godly wisdom and soundness."(Prov. 29:23; 13:10; 11:2)
 When
God deals with our faults, shortcomings or sins, we should choose the
heart of David, a humble one that is well advised, obtains honor,
renounces self and receives Godly wisdom.  The prideful heart will bring
you low, causes only strife, contention, anger, and a puffed up
swelling that defies God and His Word.  Finally,
"Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." (Prov.16:18) God is shaking His House, He is cleaning us, be washed by the water of His Word.  Yield to His voice!  Be humble.
 

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,

The Spirit Of The Lord says;
   

    In your life I have started to mend
what has been altered in the transition process that you have gone
through.  Some of you have allowed what was meant for your good, to hold
you back.  The tearing away from the familiar was designed to catapult
you into your destiny.  Yet, you have sorrowed at the changes that I
have sent your way.  Look now, and you will begin to see My purpose for
the shifts that I have allowed.  You are not so easily sidetracked by
the lies and deceptions of the enemy as you were in times past.  See,
now your desire has grown towards Me and you want more truth in your
life.  In the early part of the season of change you were resistant to
My alterations that I caused your steps to walk in.  Now, you want to
see yourself be transformed into My image more that all other things.  I
have cut away from My children that would allow Me, things that were
causing them to be tattered and worn and not able to carry My fresh
oil.  This cleansing has come to all that will stand in My house as a
royal priesthood.  I Am now sending fires of purification into My
household!  Repentance will be heard from Family, truth, purity and
justice will be shouted from the rooftops of all of the watchmen that I
have called upon the wall.  They see what is coming over the horizon!  With the eyes of eagles they can see afar off, and they warn with My
Words, for My children to return to holiness.  Declare you among the
nations and publish it as the ambassadors of my Kingdom, set up a
standard, raise it high!  Righteousness will be known in My house.
   

    For, I the Lord will judge the whole
earth in righteousness.  How long will the land mourn, and all creation
groan and travail as they await, for My sons to rise up and be awakened
to their destiny and the great calling?  I Am shaking you, My children. 
I Am shaking My house and with it comes a fresh spring cleaning, all
clutter and useless idols of heart and body will be swept out as I
shake.  Do not try to hold on to them, let it flow freely away from you. 
I Am giving the new for the old and tattered garment, that My bride has
been wearing.  Your white garments had become pale.  I have let the
circumstances in your life bring you to this place, to the place of
repentance and prayer, to seek My face.  Look at Me as your All.  So that
I may wash you afresh.  I have covered you so that others would not see
your nakedness.  I have altered your attitude towards Me in the secret
place.  I Am glad to see you as My humble, holy child, simply trusting
Me for your everything.  We will experience days of great adventures, as
We become One.  I Am, after all working it out for your good.  Do not
fear anything that comes to this world, for you must remember, your end
will always be good!

Love,

Pastor D.
 

Scripture References;  Romans 8:18-28; Isaiah 62:10-12: Matt.9:16;

Ears to Hear

    Everyone of us likes to hear cheers and encouraging words from the Lord.  Yet, II Timothy 3:16-17; "All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.  God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work."  God
and His Word is not all about our feelings and saying only what we want
to hear.  He is a Father like none other.  His Word is true and the final
authority.  God has always wanted a 'holy nation', a people set apart
for and to Him.  A people that did not walk their lives out like everyone else around you.  If we love God, then we love His Word and will allow it to correct us. 
I Peter 2:9; "But you are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood
, an holy nation, a peculiar people: that you may show forth the praises of Him (set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him) who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." 
All of us that believe God's Word
and love Him are in a covenant, we have our part to do, as well as
God's does with His promises.  Sometimes we get so caught up in what God
can do for us, that we forget about what we are to do.  Doing is not a
Christian curse word.  Our works outside of being saved cannot save us, but now that we are saved we do have works.  Listen to
James
2: 14-18; "What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you
have faith but don't show it by your works (deeds, actions)?  Can that
kind of faith save anyone?  Suppose you see a brother or
sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, "Good-bye and have a
good day; stay warm and eat well"- but then you don't give that person
any food or clothing.  What good does that do?  So you see, faith by
itself isn't enough.  Unless it produces good works (deeds,actions), it
is dead, useless.  Now someone may argue, "Some people have faith;
others have
good deeds." 
But I say, "How can you show me your faith if you don't have good works
(deeds,actions)? 
I will show you my faith by my good works
(deeds,actions)."

   

    Our holiness
can be seen, for it is in actions and deeds, works as we simply obey
God's Word.  I will share briefly what each description of who we are
called to be spoken of in
I Peter 2:9, but remember be just as excited about being, "a holy nation and a peculiar people" as you do over the rest.  Chosen
generation, refers to being select, elect, favorite, marked for favor
to receive special privileges; we are the objects of God's divine
favor.  Royal priesthood means to be kingly in nature; ancestry from the
King; belonging to royalty and nobility.  The order of priests with the
authority to administer in the name of Deity.
 
Okay,
I'll shout about it too!  Now, from this place we must deal with the Word
that has been in the archives hidden under love, forgiveness and
humility and plain ole' doing right. 
Holy nation; it refers to a community (the body of Christ)
of people composed of one or more nationalities that are sacred.  Which
means spotless, blameless sanctified, consecrated; set apart from the
menial everyday usage; set apart for the use of Deity; laid aside for
the selfless purpose of worship; filled with complete devotion to God. 
Peculiar people means to be distinct (not like everybody else)
belonging exclusively; independent of other people; special and
particular; exempt from ordinary people, an exclusive group of people.
 
Now here is the beginning of pursuing holiness.  We must not act like
everybody else, not in our deeds, works, behavior or our responses. 
Hebrews 12:14; "Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration and holiness without which no man will ever see the Lord."  Sounds like
the pursuit of holiness should be one of the first things on our list of things to do in the Kingdom of God.  Next time we will 
pursue (follow hard after in order to overtake, to seek to attain or accomplish; to practice and follow close), so that we might display the perfections and virtues of God

 

Love,

Pastor D.

Good Morning,
 
The Spirit of the Lord says,
 
No more compromising will be heard from the remnant of the true Church.  They realize that my Word is true and a strangers voice they will not listen to.  Just like a quilt they are being sown to those that are wise and rely only on My Word.  The keys of wisdom are in the treasury of My Word and the wise are found eating their full at My table.  Trainable and teachable makes it easy for them to receive the hidden treasure in My Word that directs their steps and keep them steady on the path.  This is why the wise can hear My voice direct them on the narrow way, even when others choose to walk on the broadway that leads to death.  Everything that pertains to life and god-likeness can be found in the treasury of My Word.  Every wise man can be found digging deeper.  Your anointing is found in being in the ordained steps that I have for you.  My Spirit leads and guides you on paths of righteousness, there  you will see those that walk in the supernatural.  They are the humble that are carriers of My power.  I cry out to all to come and walk here on the heights of My glory.  To all those who have gone through the valley of weeping, I have caused it to become for them pools of blessings!  Yes, their trust and reliance on Me and My Word, multiplies back to them increase in strength and of My victorious power.  Being revived and empowered afresh, now they go forth to deliver and set free those that have been imprisoned by the lies of the enemy.  They war for the souls of those that the enemy has deceived, bringing to me the spoils of war, many souls!  Lifting up my standard that repels the evil one.  Destroying his territory of fear, doubt, and unbelief, they cry loud the sound of great salvation and deliverance.  Now lift up your eyes and see that I have set you up to put your hands to My harvest, My strong , mighty, victorious warriors.  The season of the plowman overtaking the reaper is upon Us.  Do not bedistracted with the affairs of civilian living.  Keep your sickle and your sword prepared.  I Am hastening the appointed time, stay ready!

Good Morning,


   The Spirit Of The Lord Says;

    Stand in awe of Me, for all the many
wonders you will see.  I Am going to rise up big on the inside of you
and change the 'you' that has been hindering 'you'.  All of My promises
to you will be fulfilled as you totally surrender your lives to Me.  This is the generation that will have clean hands and a pure heart, for
you will have no other gods before Me.  I have truly become the central
focus of your life.  All of My blessings will come upon you and overtake
you, because you have obeyed My voice, and continue to do so.
    Since you have been in pursuit of more
of My glory and seeking My face with such zeal, there is within you the
eyes to see and complete what I have begun.  Because of your
humility, and keeping yourself small in your own eyes and in the eyes of
others, I will bountifully reward you and lift you up.  I have
innumerable ways to show you that My hand of favor is upon you.  I Am
about to surprise you in a grand way, giving you tokens as I lavish My
goodness on you.  I will cause the small clan to be a mighty powerful
army.  In my Kingdom, the Davids' of this world, always defeat the
Goliaths'.  They triumph knowing that I Am their victory.  There is no
fear to My children who know Me and are unashamed of Me, for they are
the mighty weapons in My hand.  Take your position and stand sure.  Keep
your hands lifted to Me in total surrender, so that I may fill you to
overflow.  You have within you everything that this world needs.  Those
who are obedient to My Word, will be abundantly blessed for all to
partake of.  You will be to your land and your house, a Joseph.  You will
see, hear, understand and obey all that I reveal to you and
supernaturally provisions will come.  You are my faithful stewards,
proven faithful by your diligence to My Word.  I have placed you
strategically for the prepared times ahead.  I will give you counsel in
the night season and even as you walk on your way.  Stay alert and
attentive to My voice, you will know when to advance and when to be
still.  Stay alert!

Love,

Good Morning,
 

    I was meditating today on this thought, 'I can't wait to go
home to see the Lord.'  Yet, even as I was sharing this thought, I
encountered several comments from other Christians, who can wait.  They
feel that there is so much that they want to see and accomplish before
Jesus comes.  If you don't mind I would like to share my feelings.  If
there is anything that I have to accomplish, I'm asking
God to make it known to me, so that I can get busy.  I can see all
things new after we come back to earth to rule and reign for all
eternity.  These are the scriptures I was directed to;
"How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord of Heaven's Armies.  I long,
yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the Lord.  With my
whole being, body, and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God."
 (Psalms 84:1-2)  Pine is to long for,
yearn deeply, suffer with longing, to fail in vitality; strong persistent desire or craving. 
Psalms
63:1 – "O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for You.  My soul
thirsts for You: my whole body longs for You in this parched and weary
land where there is no water."

    While writing I am listening to, "Coming Back Soon", by Randy Stonehill
He is in earnest with desire for the Lord to come back soon, while most
saints want to postpone His arrival until some later date.  Are you in
the group that yearnsEarnest is serious in intention and purpose and effort; sincerely zealous, with great fervency.  My
daughter is engaged to marry in July.  Well, I want you to know that not
only is she eating and drinking wedding plans, but everyone within
earshot of her will have to hear about it.  She is in earnest about her
wedding date, she is applying all of her effort, intentions and purpose
for that day.  She has a strong persistent desire and craving for her
soon to be husband.  She is in the steady mode of preparation for that
date.  That should be our state of readiness.
 

    There is so much insight and revelation in the book of Esther
and her preparation for the king.  Young Hadassah or Esther was
separated with other brides that were in readiness for their king.  We
should be in separation as we are in preparation for our KingEsther 2:8-12;  Verse 12 says, "Before each young woman was taken to the king's bed, she was given the prescribed twelve months of beauty treatments — six months with oil of myrrh, followed by six months with special perfumes and ointments."  Just think we are in that twelve months of prescribed beauty treatment
I am excited about it, even if it is years in the making.  I desire to
be with our King!  I hope you do also.  Let's offer thanksgivings to God our Father for His great provisions of our future with Him now and forevermore.

Good Morning,

The Spirit of the Lord Says;


       I Am about to pour out upon My people
a blessing that there will not be room enough to receive.  Everything
that you have seen in the past will pale in comparison with what I Am
doing soon.  The world will see and know that I Am a good provider to
His own.  You are my witnesses of My goodness and My provisions.  You
will go forth and publish with your words as well as with the signs
that follow, "My Father is good"! 

    

    In the next great move, there will be a
push forward into the miraculous.  Those who have been standing and
believing Me for the fulfilling of My Word, will stand in amazement and
in awe of the performing of it.  I know that you have stood for
wholeness in your body, mind and relationships and especially in
spiritual insight.  Be amazed at the next six months at how I will make
a way.  I will cause everything to be so much easier for you, if you
believe, you will see.  You, who have shaken yourself free from the
cares and worries of this world and have boldly trusted Me as your
source, will be surprisingly pleased.  Because you have developed eyes
to see and ears to hear, you will see the supernatural and hear the way
to go.  Be aware, this is now the time to look right on, not to your
left or to the right.  I will do exactly as I have said to you over and
over again.  I Am God and not man.  I cannot lie and therefore I Am
trustworthy.  Preparation for the miraculous is most important for you. 
Study and perfect humility.  It is Me all over you.  This will keep you
on target for the Kingdom purposes.  I will bless those who bless Me.  I
Am about to overwhelm you as I overflow on you all of My best.  You have
seeded your life for this great harvest!  I Am exceedingly beyond
anything that you can perceive.  You and I are together will be
unstoppable.  Stay in the mode of preparation, stay humble, stay in
love.  Enjoy and share it, and be blessed!
 

    Malachi 3:11-18; Let's read verse 13, these are the verses that the Lord placed in my heart.  "Your
words have been strong and hard against Me, says the Lord.  Yet you say,
"What do you mean?  How have we spoken against You?  You have said,
"What's the use of serving God?'  What have we gained by obeying His
commands or by trying to show the Lord Almighty that we are sorry for
our sins?  From now on we will say, "Blessed are the arrogant.  For those
who do evil get rich and those who dare God to punish them go free of
harm."

    Then those who feared the Lord spoke with
each other and the Lord listened to what they said.  In His Presence, a
scroll of remembrance was written to record the names of
those who feared Him and loved to think about Him.  They will be My people, "says the Lord of Heaven's Armies.  "On the day when I act, they will be My own special treasure.  I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child.  Then you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not."  God
is about to act on our behalf, it will be unprecedented, and everyone
will see and know the difference between the believers and the wicked. 
Those who fear and know their God and walk in His love and stay humble,
will do exploits!  Have you made your choice?  All the way for God, my
brothers and sisters.  All the way!
 

Love,

Good Morning,   

    Daniel 11:32.. "…,but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits
Know is to observe, consider and seeing; diligent to become
familiar friends; to understand and comprehend.  To recognize and have intimate understanding and familiarity through experience. 
The word exploits means achieving, performing by utilizing the power, to work and cultivate; to succeed and set in order.  That's why the Word says to, "Be still and know that I Am God." (Psalms 46:10)  In other words recognize and understand through experience for yourself, by becoming familiar friends that understand the ways of God.  Stop all non-authorized activity. (those that are not authorized by God) Rely on God, trust Him.

    Let's look at one of Paul's experiencing God and becoming more familiar with His ways.  II
Corin.1:8-10; "We think you ought to know, dear brothers ans sisters
about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia.  We were
crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure and we thought we
would never live through it.  In fact, we expected to die.  But as a
result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely on God, who raises the dead.  And He did rescue us from mortal danger and He will rescue us again.  We have placed our trust in Him, and He will continue to rescue us again."
  Paul became more and more acquainted and familiar with God. He became increasingly more intimate with God and saw Him as his deliverer, healer, provider, friend, counselor, and his way-maker.  His experience with God as he trusted God's Word, can be heard in Paul's
words also.  Paul boast in his confidence in knowing God, not just knowing about Him.
"But my God shall supply all your need (fill to the full) according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:19)  Paul experienced and knew God and because of that intimate knowledge of God, he achieved, performed, by utilizing the power of God to work and cultivate in order to succeed in his calling.  Paul did exploits for God and the Kingdom!


The Spirit Of the Lord says;
   
    I Am shifting My people into another
level.  I Am releasing to all that have put their trust in Me, keys that
will unlock treasuries that I have kept and preserved for them.  Shift! 
Shift!
   
    Wonder walkers and glory carriers are waking up to the greatness that is within.  Signs and wonders
will accompany My people that know me, it will be as it should have
been.  You were made for this and you are having your eyes enlighten to
see the richness of the inheritance you have in Me.  I have ordained
that you should walk in these good works.

   

    Reliance upon Me, will open up the flowing
rivers of the miraculous, which will become your norm.  My favor is on
you, My righteous ones that receive My instructions and made them your
delight.  This miraculous power operates effectively from the place of
love.  Stay rooted and grounded in My love.  This is the source of the
miraculous, I Am love.  Go forth and shift to the next level of My glory
and the wonders of your God!

Ears to Hear

Good Morning,

The Spirit Of The Lord Says;
   

    As I bring you out and over to your 'promise land',
don't forget your brothers and sisters who are making the same journey
for their crossover.  Offer to them the same comfort, encouragement,
help and support that you have received.  Remember, I have been faithful
in sending you help from on high.  Sometimes in the form of good
anointed words to heal your hurting heart.  Other times I have
given finances as a token to push you over the hill that was to much for you.  I have supplied to you whatever was necessary for your maturing.  I
Am gracious and gentle to you as you transition and make the change.  My mercy kept you in My hands.
 
  

    I desire that you now become My ministers
of mercy to one another, as those who are walking behind you on the
same road, grow up.  You must be the consoling voice to the hurting
parts of My Body.  On the road that is contracted by pressure, I have
placed rest areas along the way, full of encouragement and mercy, to
assist and aid to make the walk of faith prosperous.  I will not forget
your labor of love that you show by serving all other saints.  I Am
measuring your seeds back to you, pressed down, shaken together and
running over.  You must make all your seeds full of love, kindness,
gentleness, long-suffering, meekness and temperance, powerful ones that
will bring to you a bountiful harvest.  Do not become selfish by not
opening your hands of love and mercy
because of your own difficulties, test and trials.  Always giving,
casting your bread on the waters, for waves will come at all times and
a variety of ways.  Harvesting in your field, make it good!  Do not
forget that your brothers and sisters are on the same narrow road as
you, be an easy marker for them to follow.

   

    I Am coming soon, to receive you.  Be a
people of unity, preferring one another.  Victory is on the horizon for
My people who will stand side by side.  Your voices ringing as one is an
intoxicating sound to Me.  With you I Am well pleased!  You are imitating
Us, We are One.

 
   

    Sometimes
as we grow up and move from some of the testing grounds of our past
spiritual process, we tend to forget when we see some younger brothers
or sisters coming the same route.  We may become a little less tolerable
of the messes they make.  We forget to offer them the same mercy that we
received from God.  We just want them to grow up and stop acting so
childish.  Yet, we were spiritual babies, children and teenagers at one
time in our walk with the Lord.  Remember, we must let love be our
foundation for everything that we do and say in the Kingdom of God.  We are always dropping seeds into our fields as well as into the lives that we are connected to in the body of Christ
Let's not sow seeds of doubt, fear, unbelief, impatience or unkindness. 
Remember how long-suffering Father God has been and continues to be
with you as you move to the next level, which is new to you, yet
someone else is waiting to help you.  Do you want them to offer you
kindness and long-suffering?  Let's do to others as we want others to do
to us.

   

    "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of sympathy (pity and mercy) and the God [Who is the Source]
of every comfort (consolation and encouragement), Who comforts (consoles and encourages) us in every trouble (calamity and affliction),
so that you may also be able to comfort (console and encourage) those
who are in any kind of trouble or distress, with the comfort
(consolation and encouragement) with which we ourselves are comforted
(consoled and encouraged) by God." II Corin. 1:3-4

Love,

Pastor D.
