If God can move you from January to December,
He will move you
From Shame to Fame,
Insult to Result,
Sorry to Glory,
Disgrace to His Grace,
Labour to Favour,
Mockery to Victory.
May the Lord raise you from Glory to Glory

1. Give God what’s right — not what’s left.

2. Man’s way leads to a hopeless end — God’s way leads to an endless hope.

3. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.

4. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.

5. In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma–but never let him be the period.

6. Don’t put a question mark where God puts a period.

7. Are you wrinkled with burden? Come close to God for a face-lift.

8. When praying, don’t give God instructions – just report for duty.

9. Don’t wait till you are down before men before you go to God.

10. We don’t change God’s message — His message changes us.

11. The church is prayer-conditioned.

12. When God ordains, He sustains.

13. Learn how to give and it will be given back to you

14. Plan ahead — It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.

15. Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.

16. Suffering from truth decay? Brush up on your Bible.

17. Exercise daily — walk with the Lord.

18. Never give the devil a ride — he will always want to drive.

19. Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.

20. Compassion is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.

21. He who angers you controls you.

22. Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.

23. Give Satan an inch & he’ll be a ruler.

24. Be ye fishers of men — you catch them & He’ll clean them.

25. God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

Who’d wanna underestimate the omnipotence of … God?

……….. GOD DELIMITED ………..
People are notoriously losing their grip on
(A) The enormity and loftiness of God Almighty
. . Who spoke the world into existence
. . Who fills all space … and time … and dimensionality
…………….AS WELL AS………………
(B) The veracity and magnitude and magnanimity of Papa God who is the best and only friend
. . Of a single
. . Otherwise unspeakably lonely
. . And terribly frightened
. . Little child.

We get our own little grip
On Who He is to US
In our personal all-important lives
and forget that
He can, and ought to,
be Everything
to everybody.

The End of the Age

July 14, 2016Adequate researchDr. Robin Starbuck

Whereas the war which the Jews made with the Romans hath been the greatest of all those, not only that have been in our times, but, in a manner, of those that ever were heard of; both of those wherein cities have fought against cities, or nations against nations; while some men who were not concerned in the affairs themselves have gotten together vain and contradictory stories by hearsay, and have written them down after a sophistical manner; and while those that were there present have given false accounts of things, and this either out of a humor of flattery to the Romans, or of hatred towards the Jews; and while their writings contain sometimes accusations, and sometimes encomiums, but no where the accurate truth of the facts; I have proposed to myself, for the sake of such as live under the government of the Romans, to translate those books into the Greek tongue, which I formerly composed in the language of our country, and sent to the Upper Barbarians; 2 Joseph, the son of Matthias, by birth a Hebrew, a priest also, and one who at first fought against the Romans myself, and was forced to be present at what was done afterwards, [am the author of this work]. 2. Now at the time when this great concussion of affairs happened, the affairs of the Romans were themselves in great disorder.
[Not wanting] to suffer those Greeks and Romans that were not in the wars to be ignorant of these things, and to read either flatteries or fictions, while the Parthians, and the Babylonians, and the remotest Arabians, and those of our nation beyond Euphrates, with the Adiabeni, by my means, knew accurately both whence the war begun, what miseries it brought upon us, and after what manner it ended. 3. It is true, these writers have the confidence to call their accounts histories; wherein yet they seem to me to fail of their own purpose, as well as to relate nothing that is sound. For they have a mind to demonstrate the greatness of the Romans, while they still diminish and lessen the actions of the Jews, as not discerning how it cannot be that those must appear to be great who have only conquered those that were little. Nor are they ashamed to overlook the length of the war, the multitude of the Roman forces who so greatly suffered in it, or the might of the commanders, whose great labors about Jerusalem will be deemed inglorious, if what they achieved be reckoned but a small matter. 4. However, I will not go to the other extreme, out of opposition to those men who extol the Romans nor will I determine to raise the actions of my countrymen too high; but I will prosecute the actions of both parties with accuracy.

Been out of sorts
For a brief spell?
Don’t know what to pray
Or whether to pray at all?
Hang up the phone!!
Cancel the nebulous
Nefarious nonsensical.
Hop on the express train
To immediate At-One-Ment
With your precious all-glorious
Intimate Friend within.
PRAY IN TONGUES !!!!!

One of the great advantages of speaking in tongues is that when we speak in tongues, we are praying from our spirits & not our heads. I Cor. 14:14

Raptureless and free!

July 12, 2016Waking upDr. Robin Starbuck

I’m thrilled to hear that Andrew Wommack no longer believes in a coming rapture. He’s one of my faves because he refuses to stay locked into traditional interpretations of ancient scriptures with no regard for the languages and cultures of the age.
RJS

Raptureless is a great study into this matter. It has been observed by many scholars and teachers that a future coming rapture was introduced into theological studies recently (about 200 years old)
If many would take their time to revisit it they would also discover what we are seeing. Recently I even read a post by Andrew Wommack that he no longer believes in a forth coming rapture.
Simeon Edigbe

If I had been deeply steeped in futurism at the time I met Simeon or Simon or Chuck or Don K. Preston on FB, I personally wouldn’t have been ready for their message on preterism, but thank God for Andrew Wommack who taught painstakingly on the fact that we must, we must, we must not get entangled with traditional mindsets when it comes to our own reading and interpreting of the Bible. The Bible is subject to new revelation because we should be guided by the Holy Spirit and allow ourself to have our minds open to the cultures and the languages and the mores and the timeframes of the ancient contributors to the Bible especially the whole Jewish backdrop that prevails there and then. Andrew has taken a great deal of abuse from the press and from people who refuse to imagine that there could have been mistakes in people’s interpretations of the Bible over thousands of years. I get it that it’s very disconcerting to change anything about one’s theology when they are so public and relied upon by millions of people and for that reason I really, really appreciate Andrew’s courage to come out and teach us to have COURAGE as well!

Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.

Right now I’m having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before..

I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.

Anybody know what
Newer dogma is?
Dogma newer?
Dog manure.

hahahaha!

A lot of people cry when they chop onions. The trick is not to form an emotional bond.

I’m feeling about as useful as a traffic signal in Grand Theft Auto…

Experts have found the following analysis to be nearly 100% accurate.

1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.

2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.

3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country, and who are very good at crossword puzzles.

4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don’t really understand The New York Times.

5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn’t mind running the country, if they could find the time and if they didn’t have to leave Southern California to do it.

6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country.

7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren’t too sure who’s running the country and don’t really care as long as they can get a seat on the train.

There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are gay, handicapped, minority, feminist, atheists, and those who also happen to be illegal aliens from any other country or galaxy, provided of course, that they are not Republicans.

12. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.

13. The Seattle Times is read by people who have recently caught a fish and need something to wrap it in.

TONGUES

Speaking in tongues is an amazing way of allowing yourself to hear God speak to you in the spirit without all the barriers that language imposes. The devil isn’t privy to what gets communicated because he’s being drowned out. The communications are 100% pure, loving, encouraging, inspiring, exhilarating and wonderful!
