I John 4
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
When I began making plans for the church meeting in Colorado Springs on July 22-26, I sent notice to our little church group and began to receive enthusiastic responses from people about coming to these meetings.
Very shortly after this, the same people began to tell me the reasons they could not come to this meeting.
I knew these people were not established in these decisions by God. Most reasons had to do with physical problems. It was then 6 months before the meetings. They had no way of knowing what they would be like in six months.
Then devils strongly surfaced to divide Pam Padgett and I. I was certain devils were behind our "differences" and we both settled ourselves, coming into the one spirit of God and unity.
I've never before seen devils working this hard in multiple people to stop these meetings.
As of today, unity has come with at least one person who was temporarily torn away.
What I heard today from God is, "Try the spirit ..." for many false prophets have gone out into the world. These "prophets" are coming to tell these people they cannot travel or attend because of some imaginary event 6 months from "now" ... and they represent they are "God" speaking.
They twist what they bring causing the people to think it is God telling them what will happen in the future ... to cause them not to be able to attend the church gathering in late July.
Mark 4
The sower soweth the word.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
Don't fall into this. Devils want you to go opposite from the will of God and they will try to turn you away from something you were excited about. Devils represent themselves as "god" speaking and representing themselves as God to us. We sometimes rush into their direction. But they are twisted and bring fears of what will happen to you if you do this.
2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
If you look closely, you will see a "twisting" of the future for they are false prophets and they take partial truths and twist things and cause you to back down from what you were excited about.

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Today I thought about relationships and how mine have changed. I listen to those around me speaking about their best friend. When something sad or wonderful happens, they call their best friend.
I turn to God in all things. My favorite times are when I am by myself because I am with Him. I have many people around me that I love. I can be there for them but they can't fully be there for me. I know that my help comes from God. It reminds me of a line in a hymn, "The things on earth seem strangely dim".
I have a granddaughter that told me this week that she does not "fit in' with the other girls in her high school. She says they are "judgy" and "gossipy". She is troubled by this talk. She recently changed schools and misses seeing her old friends who seemed positive and content, She often wants to go to church with me.
I never "fit in" because God wanted me to turn to Him. I turned to Him because I had no real human companionship. This may be happening with my granddaughter now, I pray for God to reveal Himself to her. She is struggling and I feel this with her. I offer kind encouragement, but I know I am not what she needs. She needs a relationship with God. I have asked God to help her with this and to show me what I may need to do.
(JB ... I never "fit in" either. Pam Padgett wanted to fit in with her classmates and she didn't "fit in" either and didn't know what to do to be one of the group. I recall Barbara Preston having same feelings.
We are "peculiar people" says the apostle Peter:
I Peter 2
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Back to Beth Martin's statements:
Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Psalm 63:1 (A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.) O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Ephesians 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
At first this instruction seems something that, of course, we would do. We wouldn't intentionally speak something that is a lie to someone.
But considering speaking truth shown to us by the Holy Spirit when that truth is something that person will likely not want to hear, or is something that would make us look bad, shows how important this instruction is.
But considering speaking truth shown to us by the Holy Spirit when that truth is something that person will likely not want to hear, or is something that would make us look bad, shows how important this instruction is.
Instead of trying to protect ourselves by staying quiet, speaking truth gives others the opportunity to see a problem and deal with it. Caring for that person. It also frees us of the blood of that person.
John 15:12 Jesus says ... This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
(JB ... We "lay down our lives" every time we speak truth of God from Holy Spirit or by Bible. For by speaking "truth" we risk our reputation with that person.)

Ecclesiastes 9:10-11 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whether thou goest. I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

Many years ago my husband and I were on a bowling league. After awhile I saw that it was negatively affecting me. I would be upset if I didn’t do well and envious if he did better. It was to a point I knew I couldn’t continue this way. I prayed about it, asking God for help, and telling Him that I would be willing to quit the league if that’s what was necessary.
It turned out that God made a complete change in me. The next time we bowled on the league, I was so different. I didn’t care about how well I did and I wasn’t envious. I just enjoyed the game with no negative affects.

Psalm 37:3 Trust in the Lord (The Word), and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
(God will put HIS OWN desires for you into your heart.)
5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.

Home Meeting of Jesus Ministries
July 22-26, 2024
1-4 PM Daily
Pam Padgett's home in Colorado Springs, Co.
(details to follow)
Paul told us what to do when we gather as the church and this is what we will try to do:
I Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm (prayer), hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
Matthew 18:20 (Jesus says:) For where two or three are gathered together in MY name, there am I in the midst of them.
(Pam & I believe Matthew 18:20. Do you? If you believe this, what should you expect? I have prayed that God have those at this meeting that HE wants here. Pam and I make 2. So the Spirit of Jesus will be with us doing as God wills. Jesus heals people. Jesus saves people. Jesus brings words to show people the way to go. People learn the working of the Holy Spirit of God to teach people the things of God and to remind them of things Jesus said to us in the Bible. The Holy Spirit is the comforter and the Spirit of Truth. I'm so often amazed at those things Jesus shows me and how it helps me to know what to do on this earth.)
When Jesus is in the midst of us, all things are possible! Jesus is the truth and the answer to everything!
