Where "Faith" Leads Me, I Will Follow

At GTFI, we were told, “The Lord initiates participation (in His divine nature) by evoking the response of faith; saying, “I didn't make man to be inanimate, I made man to participate.” [Pastor; 1 Pet 1:4]

Hence, we can hear; thru the ear of faith, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion (participate/have complete authority) over...all  the earth (ie, the works of His hands).” [Gen 1:26; Ps 8:6]

Scripture records, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,” and Jesus is, and was, that “good man;” whose steps we are encouraged to follow. [Ps 37:23; 2 Pet 2:21]

Without His Spirit causing, and provoking, us, we wouldn't be able to participate in His life (ie, be like Him), by the response of “faith;” for the Spirit will guide us into all truth.              [Eze 36:26-27; Jn 16:13]

It is written: “Train up a child, in the way that he should go ...” and the Lord (by His Spirit) is leading us to a place of “trust;” that we would be enabled to bring our “feelings”(even our bodies) under subjection. [Prov 22:6; Nah 1:7; 1 Cor 9:27]

ThenSingsMySoul:

WHERE THERE IS FAITH,

THERE IS A VOICE CALLING, KEEP WALKING,

YOU'RE NOT ALONE, IN THIS WORLD.

WHERE THERE IS FAITH,

THERE IS A PEACE LIKE A CHILD SLEEPING,

HOPE EVERLASTING IN HE WHO IS ABLE 

TO BEAR EVERY BURDEN, TO HEAL EVERY HURT IN MY HEART

It'S A WONDERFUL, POWERFUL PLACE,

WHERE THERE IS FAITH.

My Grace and Truth Family,

Our Lord Jesus has certainly manifested HIS LIFE in me over the recent days through what has become commonly known as the “Christmas season.” The working of HIS LIFE in me by the HOLY GHOST is what strengthened me to worship HIM and call upon HIM.  HIS faithfulness in performing HIS Word in so many other situations was my hope and my wait. HIS present rule and reign in me were anchors for my soul, and by HIS SPIRIT I could rejoice.  Though my body was ravished by weakness, sickness, and pain, there was yet another at work in me—a GREATER ONE.  The reality of HIS union with me is the “mind” that caused me to rejoice as HE was “bringing me through the season”.  The reality of HIS union with me is why I rejoice on this “Christmas Day.”

I’m grateful that HE was born to fulfill our FATHER’s purpose by HIS LIFE—now GOD with us—EMANUEL!  Hallelujah!

[Matt 1:21]

He came to ransom us, from the fall from grace.

[1 Tim 2: 4-5; Rom 3: 23]

He came to translate us out of darkness, into His marvelous light.

[Col 1: 13-14]

He came to reconcile us unto God.

[2 Cor 5: 18-19]

         He came that we might be conformed into His very image, and likeness.              [Rom 8: 29]

He came to fulfill “a new covenant” with us.

[Jer 31: 31-33]

He came that the scriptures, that would be written of Him, might be fulfilled: “Christ IN you, the hope of glory.”

Dear Grace and Truth,

Surely the grace of our Lord has been to us as HE has walked us through our trials and tribulations just in the past days.  Remember HE said that we would surely have them; there is no escaping them.  Also bear in mind that HE has taught us to worship HIM even while we are in the midst of our experiences.  Right in the middle of the trial, HE calls us to assemble ourselves together to hear and receive strength to take one step at a time.  With each step during the tribulation that HE causes us to take by the supernatural Spirit of God, HE brings back to our remembrance His specific WORD like “look up and count the stars.” HIS WORD is the lamp for our feet.  Our believing HIM with the stepping is the victory that HE gives.  HE takes us from step (faith) to step (faith).  Our GOD causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus our Lord—trusting HIM, the ONE who has gotten us the victory.  Praise and thanksgiving are to our LORD and our Father God!!

Dear Grace and Truth family,

Our Lord truly encouraged me through the testimony of the saints while in North Carolina.  Our God has manifested, in part, the vision given to His vessels there—the revelation of JESUS CHRIST who is in fact the LORD of LORDS and KING of KINGS.  The Lord has magnified Himself!  Glory to our GOD!

Faithful is HE who has called us forth as Grace and Truth Fellowship International, and faithful is HE who will do, even accomplish, what HE has called and caused us to believe.

Thank you again for sending us on our journey, and we have returned with this report:  our GOD is well able to perform His “vision” through us.  Hallelujah!

What God Is NOT Doing

It is written that God was IN Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, NOT IMPUTING “OUR SINS” unto us; and, instead, hath given to us the ministry of the word of reconciliation.

[2 Cor 6: 18-19]

Do you mean to tell me that God is NOT mad at me; and He does NOT condemn me, for coming up short of His glory? For all have sinned.

[Rom 3:23]

The “word” declares: “But we are washed ...sanctified ...justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus ...by the washing of regeneration; and renewing of the Holy Ghost ...that we may therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain grace to help us in time of need.”

[1 Cor 6:11; Tit 3: 5; Heb 4: 16]

 Aren't you grateful that the Holy Ghost is a lifetime renewable, non-cancellable, ever lasting benefit of your salvation?

Just as the tongue is an unruly member, so the mind (the seat of the soul), too, can run amuck; wandering into unauthorized places , (called imaginations), entertaining vain things;  like “the lusts of the flesh, and ...the eyes, and the pride of life.”

[Jas 3:8; 2 Cor 10:5; 1 Jn 2:16]

Pastor once called imaginations “image-nations,” referring to the “legion” of thoughts that encamp within the mind that create confusion. [Mk 5:9]

It has been said: “A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste.”     [UNCF slogan] 

We are re-minded that The Master Planner has a Master Plan; even A Better Idea, for our thoughts. He said: “Whatsoever things are true ...honest ...just ...pure ...lovely ...of good report: if there be any virtue ...think on these things.”

[Phil 4:8]

Thanks be to God, that He gave us a tutor; even, a governor, thru Christ (the Holy Ghost); to bring to our remembrance, (and administrate obedience to), every word Jesus spoke. Because His words are Spirit, and they are life, and health to our flesh.  

[Gal 4:2; Jn 14:26; 6:63; Prov 4:20-22]

A word ministered at Now Faith Fellowship, in Plant City; on Sunday, 16 October, 2011

     

All “sheep” need a “good Shepherd.”

[Jn 10:11]

In times past,  Abba promised to give us “pastors;” (aka shepherds) according to His heart, “which shall feed us with knowledge and understanding;” and travail with us, enduring birth pains, until Christ is completely formed in us. “Thus saith the Lord ...I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor ...be lacking.”                                              [Jer 3:15; Gal 4:19, AMP; Jer 23:4]

During this season of GTFI's Celebration, of the faithful inauguration, commission, and provision of our Lord Jesus Christ, we give pause; to reflect on  the Lord's “gift” to us. “And He gave some ...pastors ...for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”

[Eph 4:8, 11-12]

Our Pastor, Ernest R. Howell, at GTFI, is a conscientious, “sent,” overseer of the flock; who watches for our souls, and, whose hope and crown of rejoicing is that we be found in the presence of the Lord, at His coming ...and he shepherd's us toward that end.

[1 Thess 2:19-20]

The Apostle Paul, a church builder, and a mentor of pastors, admonished: “We beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you ...to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake.”

[1 Thess 5:12-13]

My dear family,

Our 2011 celebration was a marvelous time of fellowship with HIM and with each other.  HIS WORD delivered to us throughout the year has been quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword.  HIS WORD to us has pierced even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow, discerning the very thoughts and intents of our hearts.  Yet HIS WORD is our life!

I’m expecting a manifestation of HIS GREATNESS in and through us again as HE WALKS Grace and Truth Fellowship International into 2012.

Hallelujah!

Come To Jesus

The call, of God, has gone forth: “Come unto Me, all ye that labour (work) and are heavy laden (burdened with a load of care), and I will give you Rest.”

[Matt 11:28]

 “Although the children of Israel had been delivered out of a place, unbelief hindered them from entering into another place (His Rest), to be changed.”

[Sermon notes]

We were told that “Rest” remains a dynamic of living, that eminates from being “joined” (as a branch) to the Vine; a matter of the heart; “as the banch cannot bear fruit of itself."

[Pastor; cf. Jn 15:4]

“For he that is entered into His Rest, he also hath ceased from his own works.”

[Heb 4:10]

So, during your time of communion and worship, ASK THE SAVIOUR TO HELP YOU, (by His Spirit), to “cast ALL your care upon Him;” that you might “be anxious for nothing.”

[1 Pet 5:7; Phil 4:6]  

Jesus said: “Search the scriptures; for ...they ...testify of Me. And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life.” As we have already aforesaid: “Works Equals Death, while Rest Equals Life.”  Come To Jesus.

[Jn 5:39-40]

    

ThenSingsMySoul;

LORD, I GIVE YOU MY HEART,

I GIVE YOU MY SOUL;

I LIVE FOR YOU ALONE.

EVERY BREATH THAT I TAKE,

EVERY MOMENT I'M AWAKE,

LORD, HAVE YOUR WAY IN ME.

Salvation, An Event Or A Journey

Jesus in the mornin,' Jesus in the noon day, Jesus at supper time.

We were reminded that God's purpose in bringing the children of Israel out of Egyptian bondage (aka darkness/“sin”) was to deliver them into a place/land(of “Light”/Rest) promised; where He could manifest/demonstrate His faithfulness, and favour in-unto-and through them, that He saves; in the midst of the other nations.  [Pastor]

We underscore “out of” and “into,” to emphasize the “process” of salvation; being a deliverance “out of” darkness, and a translation “into” the kingdom of (God's) dear Son; as a precursor to Abba's admonition to us to: “Walk in the Light, (as children of the Light), as He is ...the Light.”

[Col 1:13; Eph 5:8; 1 Jn 1:7]

 In like manner, our salvation is more than an “event” (a milestone in our life and times), but the first step in a “journey” in the earth; with Jesus, as “the author, and the finisher, of our faith.” After all, God is not a man, that He should lie; neither ...repent: Has He not spoken? And shall He not do as He has spoken?

[Heb 12:2; Num 23:19]

My sisters and brothers at Grace and Truth,

Oh, enough has not been spoken of how our Father and Lord Jesus have satisfied us with “manna” and “living water.”  HE has weaned us from the “breasts”, now preparing meals so scrumptious that we have to eat them slowly to savor every bite.  HE knows what is good for us too, feeding us seasoned dishes over and over to provide the nutrients HE knows we need.  It is wonderful how our Lord has even taught us how to eat meat—in small portions, chewing it well to allow the flavor to delight us.  Yes, the food is absolutely delicious, and the water HE serves quenches our thirst.

“Oh, taste and see that our LORD is good.”

Hallelujah!

"Work" Equals "Death," "Rest" Equals "Life"

It is written: “For he that is entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.” [Heb 4:10]

You may never fully know what a relief it is to come to realize “Jesus Paid It All;” and that “grace” is God's “gift” for “works.” [Eph 2:8]

Knowing “the end from the beginning,” Abba foreshadowed the destiny of every believer; when He “rested from all His work,” on the 7^th day of creation.                                      [Isa 46:9(b)-10(a); Gen 2:2]

And, after the foundation for our salvation was laid (which is Jesus Christ), then the invitation is extended: “Come unto Me, all ye that labour (work), and are heavy laden (burdened with a load of care), and I will give you Rest.”

[1 Cor 3:11; Matt 11:28]

“When we are delivered into His Rest, we are joined to His works(life), that are (is) already finished; from the foundation of the world.” [Pastor]

Dear Grace and Truth Family,

Blessings to each of you!  What wonderful “grace for grace” we have from our Father through Lord Jesus, as pertaining to the Holy Ghost.  Let the testimonies come forth about the walk HE has given us in this new understanding of the working of HIS SPIRIT in us.  Surely HE has manifested the “fullness” of HIS SPIRIT in us during this past week, or HE is causing a hunger like never before for the “filling” of HIS SPIRIT.  So in worshipping HIM, we can just rejoice in the TRUTH for all HE has done in the fulfilling of HIS PROMISE, to baptize us in the HOLY GHOST.

My Grace and Truth Family,

Do you recall our Lord saying to us one Sunday morning that “He hears us”?  Stop and consider this:  the Lord God Almighty, our Father, hears us when we speak to Him.  And “I”, the new creature, heard what He said to us.

What a strength I received from those Words!  Since “hearing” Him, there has been boldness in me by the Holy Ghost to broach subject matters long avoided whenever I talked to our Father.  I just did not have the confidence that I would be heard.

Now, let’s add what HE has taught us.  HE manifests Himself by pattern in hearing us. HE attends to our cry and petition.  HE proceeds to “do” according to the counsel of His own will while HE promises that all things work together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.  HE fights battles, gives victory, and causes us to triumph.

The greater portion of the blessing from what HE spoke was in my hearing HIM.  

HE is so Wonderful!  Blessings to you too—HE hears you!

Prostrate, The Position Of Deliverance

I heard the Spirit of the Lord say: “Prayer equals 'dying (to self) daily'... (and) forsaking (every care).”

We were told the fruit of our prayer's is “Every adversary, against our soul's – anger, hurt, bitterness, strife, frustration, depression, fear, offenses, etc – must “take a break!” (or, cease from troubling). [Pastor] 

There is much to be said about casting “all” our cares on the Lord; because He cares for us ...and He fights for us; declaring Himself to be “an enemy to our enemies, and an adversary to our adversaries;” such that we can “Be still, and know that (He) is God (alone).” 

[1 Pet 5:7; Exo 23:22; Ps 46:10]

On our knees we can then be joined to His will and purpose, and begin to see “all things” through His perspective, and revelation. [Pastor]

OPEN THE EYES OF OUR HEARTS, LORD, OPEN THE EYES OF OUR HEARTS; WE WANT TO SEE YOU, WE WANT TO SEE YOU.

Dear Grace and Truth Family,

Our time of “celebration” is just around the corner—next month as a matter of fact.  During this week-long acknowledgement of our Father’s faithfulness in providing for His ministry through this part of the Body of Christ, our song of worship is still again this year, “We Give Ourselves Away.”  HE has sent HIS WORD throughout 2011 to wash us, teach us, correct us, and establish us in the “doing of HIS WILL”—giving ourselves away to be used by HIM.  Our various experiences have been chosen to fulfill the very WORD which HE has sent, giving us “vision” for HIS “will” concerning Grace and Truth Fellowship International.

So let us gather when the hour is appointed to give thanksgiving to our Father for making us “one” with the SON in the “doing of HIS WILL”.  We celebrate our LORD!

Hallelujah!

Dear Grace and Truth,

“Waiting on the Lord” has really become a cliché within our ‘church’ language.  We often use this phrase as a ‘catch-all’ to provide an explanation or a reason which is supposed to defend us whenever ‘something’ has not happened.  

On Wednesday night our Lord began to impart His ‘take’ on “waiting on the Lord”.  Let us be sure to ‘hear’ the WORD again because HE is pulling down, plucking up, destroying, throwing down our old doctrine and fables, and planting a new and different understanding about “waiting” on HIM.  The LORD says HIS WORD is our LIFE.

Hallelujah!

When We Pray

The Apostle Paul wrote: “I will that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without ...doubting.” [1 Tim 2:8] While, to the church at Thessalonica, he admonished: “Pray without ceasing.” [1 Thess 5:17]

King David declared: “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice.” [Ps 55:17] While [v.18], paraphrased, could read: He will deliver your soul, in peace, from the battles that rage against you. [Insp] What a benefit. [Ps 103:2]

Jesus; who taught us how to pray, is our best model of a life of prayer; demonstrating His co-dependency on His Father's directions, and acknowledging His Father's sovereignty; in all things. [ex. Jn 5:19-20]

“When we pray, we are acknowledging “I will not be God” ...but, when we (forsake) prayer we are (usurping) God's authority (or, taking God's place).” [Pastor]  

So, “Continue in prayer, and watch in the same, with thanksgiving.” [Col 4:2]

A Certain WORD Out Of Another Wisdom

It is written, concerning the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God: “How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!” [Rom 11:33]

But the Spirit says: “The Lord (God) knows He is invisible; that is why He purposes to give us “infallible (visible, tangible) proof” that He is.”

[Pastor; Acts 1:3; Heb 11:6]

The “Certain” word, of the Lord, in “Uncertain” Times is for the believer's ears only. Jesus said:

“Father ...Thou hast hid these thing from the wise and prudent, and ...revealed them unto babes.” [Matt 11:25]

You may ask: How does God communicate His wisdom? Through the foolishness of preaching:

“We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained ...”

[1 Cor 2:7]

A "Certain" WORD

In “Uncertain” Times, is like “a nail in a sure place;” that strengthens, and settles us; and establishes our goings.

[Isa 22:23; Ps 40:1-2]

  

Lately the body of Christ, along with the world at large, has been staring into the abyss of socio-economic upheaval; with chaos looming; like a dark, foreboding, cloud, on every hand.

Yet, the Spirit of the Lord is trumpeting a “certain” word in the midst of the congregation, saying: “Stand still, and see the salvation/deliverance/provision of the Lord!”

[2 Chr 20:17]

As the Lord causes our “eye to be single,” looking unto Jesus; we will rediscover the source of our trust.

[Matt 6:22]

David said: “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.”

God always provides.

Jenelsie's Corner (#234)

Dear Grace and Truth Family,

Do you agree that learning to live in and out from the kingdom of God gives us “out of this world experiences”?  During this “season” of prayer, as HE is drawing us to Himself, let’s take a seat at His feet.  Remember it was Mary, the woman who can be likened to the church (the “woman”), who sat at the feet of Jesus to hear His Word.  Martha, on the other hand, was cumbered about much serving.  Our Lord Jesus contrasted the two women and spoke that Mary had chosen that “good part”.  This “part” would not be taken from her, for “it” would go into her “insides” and reveal about a new life with her “husband”.

This encouragement is for each of us to yield to His drawing, for we have been delivered from the power (kingdom) of darkness and translated into the kingdom of HIS dear Son.

Hallelujah!  I’ll sit beside you near His big toe (smile).
