So, What’s The Lord Saying Or Doing? (12/26/2008)

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.

Jesus Ruined My Suicide

In 1985, I ran into a brick wall with my life. I needed thousands of dollars to start a publishing company and bail myself and my family out of debt. Every credit card and credit source was tapped out. There was nobody to turn to, not one drop of hope left in my tank. I was finished.

The one untouched asset that I had was a $125,000 life insurance policy …(to read full aritcle, click here.)

How to be a Radical Christian (v).

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”

And He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’. On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 22:36-40)

Most of us Christians, even in times of rebellion, love God. Why? Because when we gave ourselves to the Lord, He poured His love into our hearts. So in effect, our love for Him is His love back to Him, perfect in every way.

Now, loving neighbors as ourselves, that’s a different story. After all, there has to be some boundaries for our love, doesn’t there? No use in throwing our love-pearls before the swine, right?

So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. (Ephesians 6:28)

The Greek word agape is translated into the English word love in Matthew 22:39 and Ephesians 6:28. And if you reread the two scriptures, you will notice an interesting point: we are to love our wives as our neighbors and as ourselves.

This agape type of love is different from the other Greek words translated into the English word love: eros (husband-wife love), storge (family love), and philia (friend’s love). It is an unconditional love that cares not about the character flaws or weaknesses in the other person and does not require a reciprocal love in return. It is God’s love, hanging on the cross, and reaching out to all of mankind.

So, if you want to be a radical Christian, look at your neighbor and say to yourself, “If need be, I will lay down my life for you, just as I would for my wife.”

Love never fails… (1 Corinthians 13:8)

Jesus, Don’t Come In! Too Much Sin!

A few years ago, I had one those experiences that most of us Christians dream about.

It was a normal winter morning. I was up early, praying a little, interceding a little, and reading my bible. But unlike the many mornings before this one, there seemed to be an expectation in the air. I didn’t know what it was, but it felt awesome.

I stopped praying and just waited on the Lord. His presence covered me like a soft comforter. Time stood still as eternity entered my room. It was glorious.

As I sat there, I knew the Lord was about to walk into the room and reveal Himself to me. My heart thumped in my chest. I held my breath.

So, what did I do next?

Did I think up a list of questions to ask Him? Did I bow down and assume a holy, worshipful position? No, not at all.

I pulled a blanket over my head and wept, and through my tears, I said, “Jesus, don’t come in. Please, don’t come in. I have too much sin in my life.”

Would I like to have another chance? Maybe I have less sin, right? I’ve thought about this often, but even if my sin level is down ninety-nine percent from that morning, I would still have sin in my life.

And Jesus is holy. And His holiness is deadly.
