I was riding my bicycle this morning about 6AM and was thinking about Charles’s writing. It was so profound, but then I heard a small voice in God’s ‘inclusionary way’ say what you read in italics below. The rest is Charles’s outstanding writing.
1-The real last move of God doesn’t need a man to lead it, (but it could)
2-Doesn’t need a band to hype it (but it could)
3-Doesn’t need a building to corral it (but it could)
4-Doesn’t need a billboard to promote it (but it could)
5-Doesn’t need intercessors to pray it in (but it could)
6-Doesn’t need a TV show or even a microphone to barker it (but it could)
7-Doesn’t need a PR program to defend it (but it could)
Can’t take up an offering for it or seed into it, can’t hype or manipulate it, can’t own it.
It has already begun in the secret places of men’s hearts, men who rarely even know one another. It is already taking place in the hidden corners of David’s cave of Adullam where a few misfits and malcontents have hidden out in Jesus and are being quietly shaped into a mighty army of glorified sons.

Daring to extrapolate the full implications of Jesus’ statement,”Without Me, you can do nothing,” I reached the conclusion years ago that “the point of intersection of the sovereignty of God and the collective believers’ subjective state is an intersection of the Father’s decision to act, and our fully recognized state of utter helplessness until He does”. I expect to see indication of the impending, final, consummate move of God in an accelerated realization of our poverty of spirit; that is, of having no autonomous spiritual resources in ourselves. As long as we imagine that God is awaiting our facilitating of His purpose, we deceive ourselves into thinking that we are not, in fact, spiritually bankrupt in and of ourselves and bereft of any ability to contribute to the doing of God.

Recently Willie Cripps of Jena, LA interestingly enough (REMEMBER JENA 6) was challenged that the African-American was an inferior race according to a quote by Abraham Lincoln. Here is Willie’s response:
Can Abraham Lincoln be consider as a TRUE PROPHET of God? His evaluation of the Black Race has proven to be completely wrong. Continue reading ‘“A Supreme Race?”……………By Willie Cripps’

“I have a right to my opinion.” I’m sure you have heard these words before. You may have even spoken them. I can remember both hearing them and saying them and usually, this particular phrase surfaces when we find someone disagreeing with us. The statement is entirely true - You and I both have a right to our opinion. One may ask, “Does having a right necessarily make one right?” Continue reading ‘You Are Entitled To Fight, But You Are Worthy Of Peace…………….By Marquis Hunt’

-Matthew 9:12, 13 states … Jesus said unto them (the Pharisees), They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go and learn what that means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am come not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance …-In these verses of scripture, we find Jesus in one of His many disputes with the Pharisees. They were always ready to argue and to point the finger at the publicans and the sinners. So … How did Jesus respond? What did He do?
-Jesus exposed the Pharisees for what and who they were. They were, and are, and do represent: Someone who has knowledge of the scriptures, BUT DOES NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY MEAN. The Pharisee spirit claims to know God, but DOES NOT KNOW GOD. It is one of intellect and self-righteousness, which depends totally on the carnal mind for its interpretation of scripture. Many people live in a world of quoting scriptures, BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE SCRIPTURES MEAN. The Pharisees were masters at quoting the scriptures, but they were babes in their understanding of them.
-Let us HUMBLE OURSELVES in asking God to show us what the Holy Scriptures mean. For without the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him (God), we can only hope to become a fine tuned and polished PHARISEE! ARE YOU WILLING TO GO ON A JOURNEY TO FIND OUT WHAT THE WORDS OF THE BIBLE REALLY MEAN? It is important to know the words of the Lord, BUT IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN!
-GO AND LEARN WHAT THEY MEAN!-
International Taste Test of Universalism By Mark Eaton
I used to live in a small town called Russellville, Arkansas. The restaurants there were few and far between. Both of them were café’s, or little hamburger joints. For instance, if you want a hamburger, or fried chicken; you go to the same place. They had two pasta restaurants and yet one was known for there philly cheese steak and the other for cajun? When I moved to Dallas, Texas I was in shock. I could go to a pizza place that had real imported cheese; or I could to a little place that has authentic philly cheese steaks. The real challenge is that authentic food usually has the real names like ‘calizones’ or ‘chicken alfredo’. The other day I was in a real well known place and ordered alfredo sauce. When I got it, it tasted different. He said most alfredo is done the American Way, and not authentic. What is the one thing I had to overcome to eat the best food I had ever eaten? I had to Move Beyond Terminology. Continue reading ‘UNIVERSALISM……”LOOKING AT THE MENU”’
Meet my Canadian brother, Thom Mills and his unique ministry to the body of Christ. When I first met Thom in Arkansas, I was so impressed with his servant’s heart. His products are done with excellence and he is quite diverse in what he has to offer. Not only does he have an outstanding and growing Store House, but his High Calling production company is among the best.
www.biblestudystorehouse.com has a vision to serve the Body of Christ as a convenient and streamlined checkout service for books, DVDs, CD and other products for a growing list of ministries, organizations and individuals. Thom shared, “In so doing, we provide a networking of ministries at a product level, allowing a person looking for a product by one author, speaker or organization to become familiar with those of others.” Those interested in having their product(s) sold through the StoreHouse should contact Thom.

The first time I met this guy, I was in the foothills of the Ozarks. He was riding his motorcylcle. Since we have become close friends. Check out his new website (www.completerestorationinchrist.com). The following is a ‘Good Confession’ that Dennis wrote that you might want to start your day off with each morning. “God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, all-loving, altogether Righteous, God is not a respecter of persons, and His judgments make us learn righteousness. God is Love, always giving, His mercy never ends. All good things come from Him and even the bad are not out of his control. God does not keep his anger forever, Loves even His enemies. God will overcome all evil with good. Even his correction is in his red-hot love and passion for our perfection to become like Jesus who is the perfect representation of his nature and ways. God is always good to all, He never changes, and He never makes a mistake, or is out-witted or overpowered by anyone or anything. God never loses. God knows the beginning to the end and He works ALL things out in accordance with his will and desire and pleasure. And in this working out of His plan; God is good to all; all the time. We can just trust Him for all of each day’s needs and concerns, and put them in His great, awesome loving hands, His “Power through grace” is sufficient for our weakness, sickness, sin and needs which are all turned into blessings. Jesus took all that on himself and overcame it all,for us all, and now is working in us all and through us all, this way that we shall all overcome; through sharing in His victory over sin, the flesh, the devil, and death. As He works out his salvation in each of us; everyone in their own order. Praise God The Father in Christ Jesus The Son by The Holy Spirit, it is so, Amen!”
I was pondering Luke 6:32 this morning.
“And ye love them which love you, what think ye? For sinners also love those that love them.”
If I am only reaching out to those who I have already reached out to; is this the True Love of the Father? Hardly not! I believe that if we all sound the same, have the same doctrine, and only embrace those who we feel comfortable with….THIS IS NOT TRUE LOVE. Later in the passage it says, God is kind to the unthankful and to the wicked. What? Kindness is hardly the word to describe the so-called Christian today’s response to those who don’t believe the way they do.
Get passionate about reaching outside your sphere of influence or comfort zone! If my “Fellowship” is based on being comfortable, or you must fit my “Creed”….. or how about this one, “If your are not to far out there.” This is a Huge Comfort Zone. When looking in scripture “biblical transition” means often leaving the familar, and walking on new ground.
So again…..(1) If you are fundamentally sound, (2) Your doctrine is correct, (3) And those you fellowship with all believe the same…….HEAR IS JESUS WORDS TO YOU, “WHAT THINK YE?” Sorry, but you have not arrived, when you are in such a comfortable state. Search the scriptures. There is huge difference between “biblical transition” and “being comfortable”. Often, those who are comfortable with you, don’t really hear your heart, and thus only assume you believe like they do.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one sharpens another.” - Proverbs 27:17
Being Uncomfortable,

Friends–Read the entire chapter of Collosians 3 paying close attention to every word. In verse 11, there are seven groups listed which CHRIST IS ALL, AND IN ALL. But pay close attention to ONE group…..”Scythian” and remember that Christ is ALL and in ALL. Paul has already given a broad list that Christ is in, but this group (Scythian), let’s take a closer look. In the Phillips Bible scythian is translated “savage”. In Taylor Bible it states -“In this new life one’s nationality or race or education or social position is UNIMPORTANT. Such things mean nothing.” In Peloubet’s Bible Dictionary..Scythian is a generalized term for rude, ignorant, and degraded. The name often included all the nomadic tribes, who dwelt mostly north of the Black and Caspian Sea, stretching thence indefinitely into inner Asia and they were regarded by the ancients as standing extremely low in point of intelligence and civilization. Webster’s New World Dictionary states..Scyth-i-a (sith’e-a) ancient region in SE Europe, centered about the north coast of the Black Sea.. Syth-i-a of ancient Scythia, its people, their language, etc. 1. any of a nomadic tribe and war like people who lived in ancient Scythia. 2. their extinct IRANIAN language. So think about it…Paul wrote, that “Christ is in the Greeks (wisdom), the Jews (religion), and on down to this broad category of people; even the uncultured and those in jail (all of this broad range of humanity). Yes, “CHRIST (the One whom is in ALL) is in the lowest level of society. Verse 16 states, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you ‘richly’ in all wisdom.” etc., etc., etc. LORD HELP US TO INCLUDE ALL AS YOU HAVE. May we make this clear to ALL…EXPLICITLY CLEAR!
