To those reading this post,

In this day and hour the Lord is calling the body of Christ to come together in unity and in truth. There will be those who post their views but might be met with correction, using the Word of God as the standard upon which we stand. Jesus, Himself, used the Word to come against the Tempter. While we walk in love, we will not compromise God's Word. We do not mean to offend, but to teach, to share, to grow together not thinking more highly of ourselves than we ought.

As a child of God, there is no room for offense. This is a ploy and tactic of the enemy. A spirit of offense can be deadly. If any one of us thinks we have the total understanding of God's Word and will, be careful lest we fall. Humility is not something we can bring about in ourselves. It is acquired by knowing the greatness of our Lord thus being aware of the weakness of self.

If we should become offended by something a brother or sister in Christ might say to us or by the words of an unbeliever, let us take them before the Lord and allow the Holy Spirit to show us if their is truth in those words or if it an fiery dart sent by the advisery. Let us not be quick to attack before finding if we are in the wrong. God chastens those He loves. The enemy condemns. There is a difference. We are instructed to test the prophetic word and keep that which is good.

God's blessings to you all. May we strive to serve our Lord with honor and follow after Him to the glory of our Father, in Jesus' name. Amen.

In His love,
Joan
