So, What Do You Think The Lord Is Saying Or Doing? (Wednesday: 11/19/2008)

It is my belief that we Christians depend too much on what an individual pastor or an individual prophet or another anointed person thinks that he (or she) is hearing from the Lord, rather than trying to hear for ourselves or listening to many different voices from all over the Body of Christ. Dependence on just an anointed few is a guaranteed recipe for failure.

So, each day, I invite you to write what you believe the Lord is telling you, showing you, or doing for you. Testimonies. Short teachings. Prophetic words. Scriptures. Prayers. Whatever you believe that the Body of Christ needs to know or will be blessed by hearing. Try to keep your words under 100 words. And if you need to, attach a link to your site for longer messages.

    A unusual thought hit me this morning. “What is your child worth?”

    It was as if a kidnapper called me and asked for a ransom for one of our children. And the kidnapper wanted to know, what was I willing to give him in exchange for my child’s life?

    Tough question, I thought to myself. After a moment or two, I decided the kidnapper could have my checking account, savings account, IRA, 401K, house, vehicles, jewelry, everything. In fact, he could have me as a slave or could kill me. Just so my child could live.

    Most good parents would answer in the same way.

    But then, this thought hit me: what if it was a neighbor’s child, instead of my child, what would I be willing to give the kidnapper?

    Ouch! To offer less to the kidnapper than what I was willing to give for my own child means I do not love my neighbor as myself.

    I’ll have to think about this.

  2. I really want to see others saved this is weighing heavy on my heart,for there are so many still not willing to accept Jesus as there Saviour.I will continue praying for others to get saved that is what is on my mind this morning.As a body it is time for us to stand together,and know that every part of the body is important.
    Praise God

    I thank you for allowing me this space to voice my mind as a concerned Christian. I beleive like you that Christ wants to have a communication with us individually. That is why I find it so hard to attend a church – I just can’t get the hang of doinf and saying and singing everything exactly the way the pulpiteer tells me to. I don’t know how far you are willing to go with your independent thinking so I encourage you to visit christianscan.wordpress.com and consider for yourself whether God created all that is and gave it to us for our benefit (or folly). I love you brother – keep an open mind.
