block cuts except god offense ourselves seen separate
Offense cuts you off from God. We separate ourselves from the pipeline. I've never seen anything block blessings from Heaven except offense.
strong healing gifts-of-the-spirit
Offended people still may experience miracles, words of utterance, strong preaching, and healing in their lives. But these are gifts of the Spirit, not fruits. We will be judged according to fruit, not gifting. A gift is given. Fruit is cultivated.
jesus keys suffering
Just as Jesus learned obedience by the things He suffered, we learn obedience by the difficult circumstances we face. When we obey the Word of God that is spoken by the Holy Spirit, we will grow and mature in the times of conflict and suffering. Our knowledge of Scripture is not the key. Obedience is.
worship manifest walks
God is seeking those who hear His call to a life of worship. Those who heed are those who will walk in His presence. They will know Him intimately as He will manifest Himself to them.
jesus tired hypocrite
I am so tired of criticalness being called discernment. Do you want to know true discernment? Paul said "That your love may abound in all discernment." When you are willing to die for somebody that is when you are actually discerning them. Jesus could call the Pharisees hypocrites and snakes because he went to the cross and died for them. So the next time you are quote "discerning" about somebody ask yourselves the question could you die for them? If you can`t say yes, you're critical because the love of God is to lay down your life for them, and discernment is rooted only in love. Got it?
humility firsts obedience
True humility is absolute obedience and dependence on God. It puts Him first, others second, and ourselves third in all things.
pain real heart
I say that trials and tests locate a person. In other words they determine where you are spiritually. They reveal the true condition of your heart. How you react under pressure is how the real you reacts.
spiritual children years
Physical growth is a function of time. No two-year-old child has ever been six feet tall. Intellectual growth is a function of learning. Spiritual growth is neither a function of time or learning, but it is a function of obedience.
mind protection authority
We must always keep in mind all legitimate authority is from God, and is given for protection, provision, and peace.
spiritual maturity obedience
Physical maturity is bound to time. Spiritual maturity is bound to obedience.
jealous want fellowship
The Spirit of God is jealous over us; He doesn't want superficial fellowship, but genuine intimacy.
promise
Simply put, the promises of God are not automatic; they must be acquired by faith.
heart honor rewards
We don't honor just to get a reward; we honor because it is the heart of God, and it is our delight.
godly simple men
How can a good God appoint cruel people to positions of authority? The answer is simple: God is the originator of the authority, but He is not the author of the cruelty. Man is responsible for his cruel actions, not God. All authority is of God, but not all authority is godly.
