. . . My calling as a pastor
PASTOR'S JOURNAL (1995)
FEB. 2: Happiness is a state of mind. Joy is a state of the heart. You will not deliver before it is time. When full fruition is ready, you shall bring forth in all my glory that has been developed. Rejoice, for your steps are ordered by me. FEB. 7: The correction to the body of Christ is increasing. As the days of maturity come, so does the discipline. The shaking that has been going on must bring forth the righteous, the holy, the just. If we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, the judgment will be worse than for those of Jesus' day when they refused to listen to him. It is not the way of man. You are not saved with your own understanding, but with the understanding from above. The understanding of God alone. FEB. 10: It is no longer peace that must be found, but perfect peace. The way, the walk, the worth of Christ is perfect peace. FEB. 11: "As for God, his way is perfect, the word of the Lord is tried, he is a buckler to those that trust him." (Psalm 18:30) "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee." (Isaiah 26:3) "The faith which is by him hath he given perfect soundness in the presence of you all." (Acts 3:16) "Make you perfect in every good work to do his will working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever." (Hebrew 13:21) "But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire wanting nothing." (James 1:4) "After you have suffered a while, be made perfect, established, strengthened and settled, by the grace of God" (I Peter 5:10) "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we even in this world." (I John 4:17) "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear." (I John 4:18) FEB. 18: I have extended the scepter. Even as I have given you a heart for Me, so I give you My mind with understanding and wisdom. And you shall think clearly with discernment of the Holy and the profane. Do not bring the profane into the holy, for that which is unclean cannot touch My holiness. FEB. 21: I am bringing you down from My mountain where you have been in the Glory Cloud just as Moses was those days and nights. I am bringing you to green pastures of peace and rest where you will once again minister to the people. My glory abides with you. This time you will be full of joy and comfort and it will be shared among the people. (John 14:26-27) The emphasis is peace in the Holy Ghost. FEB.24: Receiving truth is only relative to what you know. What you don't know you won't believe. But in Christ Jesus you must know truth and receive truth by faith. So what you don't know is relative to faith. And in believing you will receive truth whether you know it or not. When you walk away from being obedient, you are uncovered. All that I speak to My people is My Word. Everything else they hear is their choices. I either disapprove or approve their choice. FEB. 28: Eat and drink for there is the sound of the abundance of rain. Even as you pray, the clouds are gathering. And you will run and not be weary and you shall walk and not faint. Gird up the loins of your mind, be steadfast and immovable at the things you see and experience. Ride on this cloud of my glory. Behold the power of God.
