So, What’s The Lord Saying Or Doing? (12/28/2008)

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 250 words. And if you need to, attach a link to your site for longer messages.

    If you want to be encouraged by a prophecy, click on the following link. It is a word about “Living in the Best” by Michael Reynolds:

    I wholeheartedly agree. I joined the United Church of Christ for many reasons, but one of the main reasons I joined was because of a great conversation I had with one of the pastors. She elaborated on the UCC’s motto, “God is still speaking,” and told me that, if I join this church, I shouldn’t join it because I like the way the senior pastor preaches, because he’s just one person. I should join, however, if the I find that the people in the congregation share the same belief set that I do, so that we can strengthen each other in figuring out what God is saying to us as individuals, which is a much stronger testament. Thank you for this short but powerful post!

    Larrywho…I agree with you. We ALL are part of the Body of Christ. We all have been given gifts, and talents, and reason we are put on this earth. We are all unique. We need to stop comparing ourselves to others in the BODY, and realize we ARE a PART of that BODY! You have a purpose, and we won’t fulfill that purpose till we realize that we play a part in that. And to begin to realize what your part is, is to realize that God wants to speak to YOU, and not just to the person sitting next to you in church, or the one up on the platform!
