On behalf of the two of us, and those we are reaching, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking part in our work, friendship, and all our family of faith has been doing to encourage and reach this end time's generation with The Gospel of Jesus Christ... and with The Gospel Jesus Christ preached!

Weekly Wisdom: True LEADERS Speak LIFE!

The tongue of the WISE is Health.  -Proverbs 12:18b

Where “Sticks and stones may break some bones..." words spoken in the wrong way can cause even worse damage to a person’s heart!  Psalm 57:4 explains, “My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.”

You see, you don't need a knife or a gun to commit murder!  Sowing weed seed, by speaking wrong words over the life of a person, leads to death if it isn't rooted out.  Luke teaches us that, “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45)

We can turn the tide of destruction in the lives of those around us who are listening!  We need to truly understand this!  PEOPLE'S LIVES CAN BECOME FORMED INTO EXACTLY WHAT WE SAY, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue...” (Proverbs 18:21a) so ... SPEAK LIFE!

Day #3 of 20-day Blog mini-series #2
Chapter TWO, "In Christ Jesus our Lord"

    
"In Christ Jesus our Lord"
          One of these encounters (when people in Israel thought Jesus' proclamation of His identity was heresy) occurred as the Lord walked into the Temple in Solomon's porch. There He was, surrounded by a group of the Jews. They said to him, "How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly." (John 10:24)

Question to ponder:

For which of the miraculous signs or wonders Jesus worked do you think the Jews and others doubted that He is the Christ?  _________________________________________

Keith's "Comments from the Author":

"We encourage you to pull up the Scripture of what the unbelievers said to Jesus, for yourself. As you read and meditate on it, think about what Christ Had already done to remove all 'doubt' compared to what the unbelievers held onto, in their heart of 'doubt'. Then, we encourage you to meditate on how, now that we have received the Person of the Holy Spirit, we can know even 'the deep things of God' (1 Corinthians 2:9-14). We each have unfathomable things to look forward to, things people have not seen, nor heard, nor even thought of, but it requires a desire that we continue to pursue our Father in Heaven, through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in the power of the Person of the Holy Spirit - with Them, us IN Them, Then IN us, us and Them in ONEness. Selah."

"How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly." (John 10:24)

*See you tomorrow, and please make sure to invite your friends who are lost or who just need encouragement too! God bless you!*

Day #2 of 20-day Blog mini-series #2
Chapter TWO, "In Christ Jesus our Lord"

    
"In Christ Jesus our Lord"
           How is the life of Christ lived in us? Jesus said, "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." (John 15:5) Think about what Jesus said, "without Him" we can do nothing. According to Webster's Dictionary (1828), "without" means "on the outside, out-of-doors, lacking." "Within" on the other hand has the opposite meaning. Webster's defines "within" as "on or into the inside, indoors, inside the body, mind, etc."

           You see, Jesus was not merely saying that, if we do not hang out with Him sometimes or throw a prayer or two His way from time to time, we will not be able to do anything. He was actually saying that, if we are not "in" Him, we can do nothing! Now, to be in Christ, we must be one with Him (see a good example in John 17:21-23). It should be obvious that there is a huge difference between standing next to someone occasionally and being one with them continually. However, this reality is one that many professing Christians today would consider heretical. This is no surprise, because many people who lived in Israel during the time of Jesus' earthly ministry thought so, too, and some sought to put Jesus to death for that very reason.

Question to ponder:

What are some of those common, every-day things that come to mind, just when you are getting into the Scripture or quiet time with God?  _________________________________________

Keith's "Comments from the Author":

"At times in my life, when I was stepping out in faith to accomplish something *with* God, I found myself letting my old thought life, from my old flesh nature, dictate to me to depart from the ONLY thing that can help me break loose of my old flesh nature – studying the Word of God. You may know what I'm talking about but, if not, pull out your Bible and start reading, and watch what happens. If you listen to the thoughts and voices that begin to come, you'll notice how they start working to get you away, and separated, from Christ Jesus and His Word. You likely will hear some commonly-heard thoughts about common, every-day things that come to your mind, trying to get you out from the intimate presence of God. I have learned that this whole process of dying to our old flesh nature and its ways, in order to pursue oneness with God and the wisdom of His Word, is indeed a fight. It is a fight we must win at all costs. Anything of great worth requires great effort to obtain it, and is worth fighting for! There is nothing more worthy in the universe than God, and doing whatever we must do to become 'one' with Him. Remember the Bible verse, 'Take every thought captive'? In the Name of Jesus Christ, pull down every thought that would try to exalt itself above God in your mind. Read God's Word, study what He begins whispering into your spirit, ask the Person of the Holy Spirit to help tutor you, and let it begin transforming you in EVERY way, especially in doing and being all of what He created in you to do and to be!".

 We encourage you to pull up the Scripture of what Jesus said to Father God in John 16:21-23. As you read and meditate on it, remember that NOTHING is more WONDERFUL than working *w-i-t-h* God to fulfill the plan He has created for our lives."

"That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us ... And the glory which Thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are One...." (John 17:21-23)

*See you tomorrow, and please make sure to invite your friends who are lost or who just need encouragement too! God bless you!*
