πŸ’₯ Report on summer church Home Meeting in Colorado Springs


Comments by Joan Boney:
 
To me, one of the strongest concepts brought forth was the following warning:
 
πŸ’₯  Remember:  God knows the future.  Therefore be sure you seek God over any thing you plan and let God establish your thoughts, hopefully with the Word of God.  Then be sure you do that Word and not just hear that Word for it is the doer of the Word who is blessed.  You deceive your own self when you hear the Word and fail to do that Word.  Live in that Word for that causes the Word to be a part of you.
 
There is currently so much turmoil and hatred (especially in politics) and confusion and trouble,   we must be extremely diligent to do the following:
 
* Live in peace, without spot, and blameless ... as the apostle Peter told us in 2 Peter 3:14   Live according to truth of Bible.  Be sure the words we speak to others edifies them in truth of God making us blameless.

*  I often pray this over me:  Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
 
* I recommend that each of us carry with us a small notebook and jot down every negative thought that comes to us during each day ... and go to Bible through prayer and compare those negative thoughts with Bible and choose to believe Bible.  Taking Thoughts Captive
 
*  If we feel anger rising up in us over a report or news event, withdraw immediately and refuse anger and ask God to cleanse us.

πŸ’₯  On the 2nd day of the meeting I was stricken with great fear .  I cried out to God for help and God brought the following to my memory:

2 Corinthians 3:5-6  Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
