Some Thoughts

Anything worth doing is worth a critic or two.

If we spend time chasing and challenging every critic then all that time has been wasted. But the word critic in the Greek means "able to discern".
So don't just dismiss critics no one person or group is above a critic. Process it, especially if it's someone whom you trust and respect and if any of it applies turn it... into the fuel for change.

Know your God given values and vision so you can grow from your critics.

And if they are hurting you, do you hurt them back, if they bite do you bite back!

"But if you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another" Gal 5;15 NLT

This was a First century and is a Twenty-first problem for the church, I think we have forgotten how to turn the other cheek and seventy times seven.

"If someone says, "I love God," but hates... a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don't love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?" 1 John 4:20 NLT

Just a thought people just a thought!

"I'm Dying Here"

What I am about to say is in no way “bragging” on our spirituality but I am so excited about LC stepping up to the plate with our 21 days of fasting and prayer! And really fasting is no fun; there is nothing enjoyable about it, like I said “I am dying here”. But dying is not really a bad thing, dying through fasting is denying our enemy within, that dictator within, the king stomach that is on the throne of our flesh. Fasting is a spiritual discipline that brings breakthrough and anointing not by twisting Gods arm but moving His heart thus His will move His hand! Dying to our flesh also means a heightened spiritual awareness. I have witnessed this already in the few days that we have been on this journey; there have been multiple examples of the gifts of the Spirit in operation in the local body of Christ. Fasting linked with prayer is so powerful as long as it is done privately, but you say “how can fasting be privately if it is done corporately?” In scripture there are many example of corporate fasting and prayer and it can be private at the same time because you know how the fast will go between you and God, what you will fast, and length of the fast. Can I be transparent, that I have fasted in the past and didn’t guard it privately and only did it because of another individual? Needless to say I got my reward, and that reward, appearing spiritual to that individual.
So “today is a good day to day” because I am ready for a harvest, I am ready for a breakthrough, I really to die!
