evening dinner huddle could be cancelled at last min. Keep an eye open in case this happens again this week. Thanks for you understanding and patience!)
Happy Late Morning Greetings to You, My Teammates, Co-Laborers in Christ! God is good and with us always and has great plans for the week ahead for you and for us as His gathered and sent Body. Invite Him to come abide and lead with open hearts, hands and minds and willing feet to follow Him.
we explored 1 John 3-4. We continued to hear John teaching of the importance of love, loving one another, loving God and others, dwelling in and following love and allowing our God who is Love to love through us. They WILL know we are Christians by our love! We were reminded of all the anti-Christ types in the media and around us speaking lies and spreading false teachings and how they will be aligned against us because they refuse to believe or follow God and don't want to be reminded of their sinful choices and ways by the example of us following God and living and loving well. We also saw how some of these false teachings invaded the church in John's days and how that is happening
with many churches trying to scratch itching ears and water down the Bible or alter God's teachings to fit their lifestyle choices and how they try to force us to affirm those choices because they feel guilty and shameful. And we say "NO!!!" We will always stand on Biblical standards, God's teaching and commands and follow His holy and righteous and good ways. AMEN! May that be us and our denomination always! You alone Lord. The Bible alone! Your holy and perfect ways alone! Amen. And may we always stand firm against false teachings, sin, lies and hate. May we seek You always, check all teachings against your Word, like the Berean's, and follow you and Your ways alone and lovingly help others to find you and walk in your ways. Thank You! Come fill us and lead us to live and love more and more like Jesus and to walk in Your good ways always. Thank You! Come! Lead us! Amen! May they know we are Christians by our love and by our walk and fruit. You are all we need and Your ways are perfect! PTL! Help us to choose well and shine bright into the darkness around us. Bring revival and protect us from the evil one and foolish choices. Amen!
Perfect mid day prayer and beginning of week commitment! God is Love. Love created us to love and lives in us to love through us. Think about how that may be playing out
and this week and follow Jesus with much joy and
and of course overflowing love! Who might He have for you to process with, pray with, plan with and go with? Pray into that and do something about that. Maybe with the woman's prayer teams or men prayer partners? We are united in Christ as His Body and we need each other. What's your part in this love machine? Step into it boldly!
I had an amazing night of peaceful and restful sleep and slept until 8
. I am just wrapping up an amazing quiet time. (the first in over a month) God sure has been speaking. I could share like 7 or 8 devos threading through the above and for you, but God said let them fend for themselves
and seek me with all their hearts. Please check out the second part of my
. blog and pray a covering over me, you and us. Pray on that armor and prepare to stand firm in Christ. The enemy is prowling about trying to kill, steal, destroy, derail and side track those God is using. God is using us and has great plans. Stand firm and be prepared for the hate of the world, attacks of Satan and God's deliverance and leading forward to His perfect plans. They are coming alive as we are coming alive in '25 and as we move closer to becoming that dynamic movement of God. We need each other and covering and encouragement. Let us unite, stand firm and commit to follow Jesus well the rest of the year! God is enough and His plans for us are perfect. Amen and PTL! Now time for some brunch! God loves you as do I and He has gathered our loving Body to go love well. That's our mission and it's coming alive! PTL! and shalom! They will know we are Christians by our love! May we choose to live and love well together! Amen!
