Lessons From The Haystack Prayer Meeting

Live In Freedom!

¹³ You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. ¹⁴ For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁵ If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. Galatians 5:13-15

Many Are One In Christ

For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. Romans 12:3-8

Focus On God

Many of us do not continue to grow spiritually because we prefer to choose on the basis of our rights, instead of relying on God to make the choice for us. We have to learn to walk according to the standard which has its eyes focused on God. ~ Oswald Chambers

R12:1-2

With eyes wide open to the mercies of God, I beg you, my brothers, as an act of intelligent worship, to give him your bodies, as a living sacrifice, consecrated to him and acceptable by him. Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould, but let God re-mould your minds from within, so that you may prove in practice that the plan of God for you is good, meets all his demands and moves towards the goal of true maturity.

Romans 12:1-2 JB Phillips

John 14:6

A Friendly Sky Outlook

The whole outlook of mankind might be changed if we could all believe that we dwell under a friendly sky and that the God of heaven, though exalted in power and majesty, is eager to be friends with us. A. W. Tozer

The Eye Of The Storm

This is taken from Growing Seeds. Find them on fb and on the net.

The eye of a storm, located in the center of a hurricane, is a region of mostly calm weather. The "eye" or center, is surrounded by the "eyewall", a ring of towering thunderstorms where the most severe weather occurs. When we experience the towering thunderstorms of life, the most sever obstacles and challenges, we must position ourselves in the center, maintain our calm and harness the strength to overcome.  Christ periodically left his disciples to be alone and perhaps center himself. Today, find your center in the quiet of the mind and bathe in the peace and stillness only found within. In the garden of the spirit, we reclaim Eden and the genesis of creation. All the noise of life's swirling changes are merely a bluster of billowing distractions. Let your eye stay fixed on the center, on the power of peace within. Harness the force of the storm by letting go and steady your eye in the middle of the mind with God.

Pentecost Sunday

A Shine Prayer

Heavenly Father, work in my life in such a way that people will see you shining forth. Help me to break free from the selfishness and sin that prevent me from being conformed to your image and expressing your holiness. In Jesus’ name, amen.
