Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:1-2)
As we journey toward this time of Pentecost, I have been considering the issue of our being "holy and acceptable unto God" and what it requires. In order for the "tongues of fire" to light the body of Christ (our church) on fire, we must all be striving for Holiness.
Some say that is simply a phrase that can be interpreted in many ways; however, if we continue to dissect the Word of God into our human terms (that which is acceptable and more palatable to us) we will lose the Spiritual connotations that evolve from the separation of one's self from the world. In stepping away from that which makes sense to those in the world, but is totally foreign to God, we become accepted by the world and may be in danger of losing our souls.
It is essential that we do not lose touch with what God directs us to do and the warnings that come if we fail to do so. It is through following the instructions of the Holy Spirit that we will, as a unit, begin to touch, see, and feel those fiery tongues moving through our souls and edifying our minds.
It is unfortunate that there are those who do not believe in the awesome power of the Almighty and reduce Him to our level. Shame on you. Let's strive to do better and seek to reach higher levels of revelation when Pentecost arrives on May 11th. It is past time for us to stand in solidarity with our Creator and follow the practices and examples presented to us through the life of Christ. Love of Christ and total surrender to His will is the key - the combination to the lock - to denying ourselves and picking up our cross and following Him.
Upon striving to do this I know your day of Pentecost will be Blessed.
Hold on for the ride of your life!! |

Wants, Needs, Desires/Wrestling With Fleshly Entanglements
"What happens is that I do,not the good I will to do, but the evil I do not intend. But if I do what is against my will, it is not I who do it, but sin which dwells in me. This means that even though I want to do what is right, a law that leads to wrongdoing is always ready at hand. My inner self agrees with the law of God, but I see in my body's members
anther law at war with the law of my mind; this makes me the prisoner of the law of sin in my members." Romans 8:19- 23

National Day of Prayer
May 1, 2008
Challenge to all prayer warriors:
Begin to fast with members of LifeLines on April 30th in preparation for the National Day of Prayer. Let us focus on the needs of our city, state, and country.
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14
"I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed:
'O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands, we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.'"
Daniel 9:4-6
"I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove savage beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country." Leviticus 26:6
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
Let the peace of God be your recompense. |
