Jenelsie's Corner (07/26/15)

My Grace and Truth Family,

Our Lord God cannot lie! HE is not a man that HE should. HE is truth and all that HE does originates from "truth" which is in "Himself." What a "mind-shift"!

So when we call on our "faithful" Lord, HE comes to us in truth, by truth and through truth. There is no other way for HIM to reveal HIMSELF.

Take comfort then in our "faithful" God. He shall supply all of our need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus--that is the TRUTH! All things work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose--that's the TRUTH. No weapon formed against us, His beloved, shall prosper--this is TRUTH.

Now whatsoever things are TRUE, think on these things. Our Father God is FAITHFUL to perform HIS WORD--TRUTH. Our Father loves us--TRUTH!!

Hallelujah! Receive encouragement by His Spirit of TRUTH.

Love in Christ Jesus,
Sister Jenelsie, Pastor's wife

Fallow Ground III

“Ground” is the inner/invisible person, behind the veil of the flesh (aka the “soul”); the sum result of the life experiences of a person, from their past, leading up to the present. [Pastor]

Add to that the “genetics” (tendencies/weaknesses) of preceding generations, passed down as part of our bio-psycological make up ...areas of “the imagination” unactivated, and yet untouched, with the Truth and Light of Father's Love. [Pastor]

When did the “ground” (thoughts/imaginations) become FALLOW?

“...when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God...but became vain in their imaginations, and (with darkened hearts) changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man ...” [Pastor; Rom 1:21-23]

Hence, the “break up”/ the “planting” ...even “the pulling down of STRONGHOLDS, (and) the  casting down of  imaginations ...against the knowledge of God, bringing into captivity EVERY THOUGHT to the obedience of Christ …” [Pastor; 2 Cor 10:3-5]

PULLING DOWN STRONGHOLDS

IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

PULLING DOWN STRONGHOLDS

IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!

Fallow Ground II

Jeremiah 4:1-4 is an old covenant command that was fulfilled IN Jesus Christ. [Pastor]

Whereas we once were lost (“uncultivated ground”), NOW (IN Christ) we have been found; and our “fallow ground” is plowed (or broken up), but, yet unseeded; awaiting a “new heart,” and a “new spirit.”

[Pastor; Eze 36:26]

As we begin to receive the engrafted Word, our stoney heart is removed; and the strongholds of rebellion are torn down, as the Lord grants us repentance to the acknowledging of the Truth; by the quickening of His Spirit.

[Jas 1:21; 2 Tim 2:25; Jn 17:17b Thy Word is Truth]

When the Lord, our God, says: “Sow not among thorns (but) circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskin of your (stoney) heart ...” He is giving Himself the authority to do as He has spoken. For His Word shall accomplish that which pleases Him.

[Jer 4:3(b)-4(a); Num 23:19; Isa 55:11]

IT'S TIME TO SEEK THE LORD 'TIL HE COMES …

AND BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW GROUND …

IT'S TIME TO SEEK THE LORD 'TIL HE COMES …

AND BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW GROUND!

My Sisters and Brothers,

Hear these words: "And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding..." Because I, your Father God, love you, I have ordained a prophet and given to you, my children. Whatsoever I command him, he shall speak, for I have put MY WORDS in his mouth and set him ('him,' in Christ Jesus) over kingdoms to root out and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant."

As it pleased the Father, HE has chosen to put His Life, even His WORD, in a vessel whom HE sent to us, to sow seed. And it is so... "and these are they which are sown on good ground, such as hear the Word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred."

HE really loves us! Hallelujah!!

Your sister,

Jenelsie Howell, Pastor's wife

Fallow Ground - 1

A question to Pastor, regarding a passage of scripture in Jeremiah [4:3] and Hosea [10:12], provoked a very in-depth teaching: Q. As the LORD delivers us, and brings us into His LIGHT and ...KINGDOM; Are we all brought into the KINGDOM with “fallow ground?” or, as Pastor defines “it:” “uncultivated insides?”

Not as if we will have already apprehended, or comprehended, that for which we have been apprehended (or possessed); rather, as newborn babes, we must first be washed (by the word),  then  discipled (unto perfection) by tutors and governors; that we might grow up and be fruitful.

[Phil 3:12; 1 Pet 2: 2; Gal 4:2; Col 1:10]

Father is the husbandman, and His Word is His plow; to “root out ...pull down ...destroy, and ...throw down” vain imaginations, and any high thinking that would exhalt itself against the knowledge of God; and to build and plant (seed), until Christ is formed in us.

[2 Tim 2:6; Jer 1:10; Gal 4:19]

Breaking up the fallow ground (aka, “uncultivated insides”) prepares us to “conceive seed,” until Abba speaks His intent, and performs His word.

[Pastor; Isa 55:10-11]

ThenSingsMySoul:

… BEFORE THESE EARTHLY CARES TAKE YOU OUT;

TURN  YOU AROUND, BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW GROUND!
