Can FETTERS turn to FLAX?

-

Hello Friend!

Good Morning!

I trust all is well with you and that you are growing and improving in every way.

Can FETTERS be reduced to FLAX? I pulled this idea from the Book of Judges 15.
My friend no matter the terrible condition we are in currently: may be it’s our bad habits, weaknesses or addictions and however long it had imprisoned us, we can CHANGE, we can be SET FREE. The FETTERS that bind us today can be reduced to FLAX. There is great HOPE!

That's the Good News: we can be constantly changed from glory to glory—this is the hope we can all have. We are not like a ‘polluted lake’, stagnant and stinky, but we have a RIVER within us that will make us glad with its freshness everyday. Wherever this RIVER flows it produces LIFE. Ezekiel 47:9, Psalm 1, John 7:37-39

God starts this Transformation PROCESS by giving us a new spirit (new creation), widens his influence into our soul (with our cooperation), and our body begins to increasingly fall in line with His purposes. Romans 12:2

The strong FETTERS of weaknesses that may have bound us for the most part of our lives, that put us on a recurring cycle of defeat and failure, can turn into FLAX as this RIVER OF LIFE begins to flow from our spirit, into our Mind and to our Brain, impacting our whole being positively. John 7:47-39

In Ezekiel 47:1-5 this picture is clearly described, the process of how the RIVER starts small and increases to the extent that it overwhelms and overflows through us.

Ask the Holy Spirit's help as we meditate on this passage, I'm sure it is going to give us more clarity and the Hope to get better everyday.

Hopefully in the future posts, we will examine a few more thoughts on the many approaches to RENEWING our MIND, and also the biology that happens in this transformation process.

Have a wonderful day!

Shalom!

Discipleship Thoughts - our New Location

-
Hello Disciples, Warriors and Saints! This is my new HIDE-OUT  to document my DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS . I have been receiving some feedback lately to 'enlarge my boundaries'. So, I took this new step to ' SPREAD OUT MY WINGS ', like our father of faith, Abraham and start walking on the 'terrain of the vast promised land'. I also felt this is an opportunity to reach out to a larger audience. Starting today I will only post the links to the DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS in our groups, especially for those of us who are still interested in reading my content.  Please feel free to drop by, stay connected, comment and share your thoughts here. Shalom!

Be anxious for nothing - FCRA or No FCRA

-
Hello Friend, Good Morning! How are you today? Have you been following the news? There is a lot of discussion among NGOs, many of whom seem anxious about what may be coming their way. Recently, I came across several news reports about the FCRA amendment bill, which has raised concern among many Christian NGOs. Some view it as a harsh or restrictive measure and feel targeted. At the same time, there could be valid reasons for the government to introduce such legislation. Can we deny that a small percentage of NGOs have failed to maintain financial integrity in running their institutions? In such cases, the violators should be held accountable and their licenses revoked. As the Bible says, “a little leaven leavens the whole lump.” Some unscrupulous NGOs have brought disgrace to the name of Christ. As Christians, we are called to a higher standard of living, and in this context, running our institutions above reproach is non-negotiable. However, with regard to propagating one’s faith, the...

Do our gatherings truly HELP us?

Do our gatherings truly HELP us grow?   I have noticed  that more and more gatherings  these days, looks more like a  “ Sunday entertainment" center, it  is HARMING than  HELPING God's people from  becoming  ROCK SOLID DISCIPLES . Our meetings should not be just a place for a lot of TALK, Emotional SINGING and Fun , however it should be a place where we are STRENGTHENED, EMPOWERED AS DISCIPLES  and SENT OUT  to be effective witnesses. When a gathering does not have DISCIPLESHIP as its CORE MISSION , then it has already moved away from the Biblical BLUE-PRINT of the Ekklesia .  If you find yourself in such a place, WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? The next best thing I can think of is to earnestly pray and look out for a fellowship which has Discipleship as one of its CORE pillars . That's it for now. Hopefully we will meet again in the next post. Until then, let us continue the journey of renewing our minds .   Shalom!
