Scripture Verse

2 Timothy 1:6,7
And he sat down, and called the twelve, and said unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receives me: and whosoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him that sent me. And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followed not us: and we forbad him, because he followed not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part. For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Guard your heart and mouth all the days of your life and walk as Jesus walked.

I have found it astonishing and also appalling at the same time, that even in the Christian world one gets confused at what to believe. One will say they
err because of hyper faith. Another will say to speak in tongues is of the devil or God does not heal today or He does not do it that way or this way. We humans love to put God in a box because it matches ones doctrines or it is easier to understand Him that way. Then we try to force everyone else to believe exactly that way. I understand that we must have controls but can one come into my house and dictate what rules are in their household. I am afraid not. There is a definite distinction between light and darkness. God has taught me a valuable thing in life. I can mark a man but not judge him. That is His job not mine.

Where are the David's in Christianity today? David refused to speak evil of King Saul even if Saul wanted him dead and sought diligently to end his life. David was a great sinner and God did not try to hide David's dark deeds, yet God said that David was a man after His own heart. When Billy Graham went to Russia he was misunderstood and many condemned his actions when we all should of just stayed quiet and prayed and supported the man of God and what God was doing. Let it be far from me to judge Billy Graham. I long for my Jesus to come so that his faith and desire will finally become a reality ..... that we might all be one even as He and His Father are one. Hey some might say that Jesus was only dreaming but that was His faith, for and in us. Was Jesus delirious or did He have faith?

When I once worked at Chryslers of Canada, I remember sitting in my office and talking this man who was a Baptist at one time and had fallen. He came in as usual to mock me but I knew in his heart and he was searching for the truth. It was lunch time and we were having a great talk. The man was in tears as I spoke and then in walks another Christian who did not agree with me in everything. He got involved and asked me a controversial question. I answered him humbly but he contended with me. The man who I was ministering to stood up, threw his hands in the air and said, "When all you Christians get it together then you can tell me about this Jesus of yours" and walked out. I grieved in my heart and wept. Then I opened my bible to the chapter of Mark began to read the verses above and said to this man "For the sake of your doctrine you just destroyed a man". I said no more but just let the Word of God work in this man's heart. I saw tears in his eyes as he left.

Again I say as I said last week, "WE ARE the children of God. I am God's child. Oh yes, I am and so are you. Jesus is my brother. I belong to God. I am part of God's family. I am in the palm of His hand and no one shall pluck me from His grip. I am determined in life to keep that status. I know who I am and where I belong. Jesus is exactly who He says He is. God is exactly who He says He is". We must settle and secure this fact in our lives once and for all so that we are not swayed to and fro by every wind of doctrine that comes our way. We must be established in His word to know who we are and where we come from. Then once that is established we must walk humbly with our Brother and Sister regardless of what they believe and let each other get on with the work that God has called them to do in their lives.

Many times I have gone to another Pastor from another denomination and asked if I could help them in the meeting, revival, seminar, etc. I would tell them that I will do anything to help. Many had come to know that I would not do anything they felt was wrong to do according to their beliefs. Why not try this sometime and get really blessed.

My desire in my ministry is to see that the faith of Jesus' be fulfilled before He comes. I desire to see us walk with one another without judgment. I believe only then will we have an effect on the world. I am so glad that no man will be my judge when I die and go home to be with my Jesus. Praise You Jesus!!!!!!
