Some Things We Always Need to Remember

I received this first part in a dream & wanted to share it with you, because I know it is meant for all of humanity. The rest just all poured through. I hope it uplifts you as much as it does me. Here it is:

Losing Faith in Faith – Going From Special to Normal

Years ago I took a personality profile test found it so accurate, down to the kinds of gestures I use and why, that I suggest to Joe Tkach that all ministers and leader types take one. This, from my naive perspective, might just prevent sending the same, ill placed and probably not really called to serve anyone but themselves type ministers from going on and on and hurting one congregation after another. WCG had this very bad habit of transferring it’s problem ministers rather than confronting them. They said no to testing. Now I know why. People hate the insecurity that comes from knowing they aren’t as special as they think they are.

Creating Sacred Space

Sacred Space can be inside of you, that place where you go to receive insight or answers or to meditate. It can also be a physical place in your home, office, yard, or anywhere you wish to create a sacred place.

Daily Bible Devotionals

Often, we confuse inspiration with motivation, when they are in fact very different things. Inspiration occurs on a higher, internal level, while motivation is the rationale for our behavior. Inspiration affects your emotions and your intellect. It is often a divinely spiritual influence that causes wonderful things to happen and life-changing situations to occur.

Being Inspired or In-Spirit In Your Life and Work

How often do you integrate what inspires you and what you consider to be in spirit or spiritual into your daily life? If you’re like most people, you probably answered, “not very often.” Can you even imagine how your life and work would be different, how our world would be different if Spirit was part of everything we did?

David Relying on the Lord’s Lovingkindness and to His Children – Supplying What is Needed Daily

David sought the Lord for the work of His lovingkindness, from morning time on through the day. “Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust.” As the Lord poured out His loyal, steadfast love, David gave glory to the Lord among His people. “I have not concealed Your lovingkindness . . . from the great congregation” (Psalm 40:10).

Are We Shining Lights or Lights Hiding Under the Lamp Shade?

Our Lord says: “Let your light shine before men.” He shows how absurd it is to light a lamp, and then to obscure its rays by placing it under a basket. The purpose of ignition is upset if the light is covered. Ah, though how many of us place baskets on the light of our testimony for God–the basket of cruel speech! Of ill-temper! Of a discontented and querulous spirit! These as well as more obvious failings will prevent us from shining out as light in a dark world.

David and the Lord’s Lovingkindness is Kinship with the Term Grace in the New Testament

After announcing his high estimation of lovingkindness, David begins to explain why it was so. “Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.” When people catch a glimpse of God’s lovingkindness, they understand that it includes His desire to protect them. Thus, they draw near in faith to be sheltered by His loving care. “Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by”
