Love and Fear part 2

11/08/2015 11:19

Nothing will hold you back like fear does. Worry. Stress. These things can literally make you sick. The mind effects the body. In earth as it is in heaven. And the biggest fear we have is that we're unloveable. Why do you think Eve was so eager to swallow the serpent's lie? It spoke right to her...

I think there are two "forces" in the universe. Love and fear. NOT love and hate. Because according to 1 John 4:18, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." And really, these two "forces" could be...

When things line up in Divine Order things really start to flow. Perception--what we see--Perspective--how we see it--and Priority--what we do about it--are the Three P's. And if any one of them are out of whack it can really throw a wrench in the works. It can really get us mixed up, confused....

Priority. What you DO about what you see and how you see it. The culmination. The fullness. Because faith without works is dead, right? All of this thinking, and discussing, and meditating about stuff doesn't really mean a whole lot until you put your money where your mouth is. Love is love but...

Three P's part 3

Perception and perspective (what you see and how you see it) go hand in hand. And they lead to priority. Much in the same way that faith and hope go hand in hand and lead to love. Faith is the subtance of things hoped for. How you see things determines what you see. It's the old idea of "putting...

Three P's part 2

Perception, Perspective, Priority. What you see, how you see it, and what you do with it. These three things define our reality. And it is only when these three things line up correctly--with Jesus, who IS the Way, the Truth, and the Life--that we can begin to manifest the Kingdom of God...

Three P's part 1

You've probably heard of the "Three T's." Time, Talent, Treasure. Well God has laid on my heart the Three P's. Perception, Perspective, Priority. And I really think if we understand these Three P's, it will help us in how we deal with... everything. Because I've heard it said that life is 10% what...

Accepting Embrace part 5

If I don't accept you, I can't embrace you. If I don't understand you, I can't accept you. And if I can't understand, or accept, or embrace you... I can't love you. Which is a problem because, according to 1 John 3:14, "We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren....

Accepting Embrace part 4

People don't want to spend time with people who are constantly criticizing them, always condemning them, and trying to get them to change. That's the kind of thing that gets people to run FROM God instead of running TO Him. And that, in large part, is what the church has become. We seem to think...

Accepting Embrace part 3

Helping someone without demanding change from them... that can look a lot like enabling them. And that's where things can get really tricky. Especially when the person you're trying to help is involved in something "bad." Or, more specifically, something harmful. Let me keep using my example of...
