Dear Church:
I am not pleased with the recent increase of and focus on the falls and short-comings of church leadership. While everyone is responsible for working out his/her individual salvation (Phil 2:12), you are supposed to be helping each other along the way; protecting and encouraging each other.

The prayers of the righteous availeth much (James 5:16) and I empowered you so that 1 can cast out 1000 and 2 can send 10,000 to flight (Deut 32:30). This is not addition or multiplication. That’s a 0 for each additional praying congregate in agreement. So, a pastor with a church of only 20 praying members should compel at least 1,000,00,000,000,000,000,000,000 demons to flee.

I expect the unsaved to be highly critical of the fallen church leaders. They are looking for excuses to avoid the truth and have itching ears for teachings that support their fleshly desires. You on the other hand should know better. I designed you to support, build, and protect each other. If any of you fall there is plenty of blame to go around.

Start covering each other!

With earnest regards,

GOD

Embrace Your Amazing!
+--------------------------------+
I know many may have underestimated you,
thought less of you;
thought they had the right to diminish and mess with you.
But game can only recognize game
And their thoughts and opinions don’t compare to the name
of Him who created you,
the One who makes all things new,
and designed you with a purpose so far beyond their comprehension
that the very universe has no choice when it mentions you but to call you
“Amazing!
Wonderfully made!
And glory to Him who created you!”
And the only one qualified
to tell you otherwise is not here.
Let me make this perfectly clear,
God’s purpose cannot be interrupted!
Let the jealous get disgusted
God’s glory does not care!
And so, amidst the harshest of flames,
you remain,
amazing.

Before you start or spread something about someone else or directly criticize someone else, ask yourself 3 questions:

1) Is what I am about to say true?
2) Is what I am about to say good?
3) Is what I am about to say useful?

Although Socrates is given credit for developing this filter it lines up with several Biblical scriptures. In short those scriptures encourage what we say to be righteous, holy, and virtuous, character building (Phil 4:8).

In short what you say to someone should be instructive and/or corrective towards their improvement (2Tim 3:16). This is the critical difference between condemnation and conviction. While both may include a highlight of something that needs to change, conviction contains valuable instructions on how to act correctly as well as information to correct and reverse any damage that was done by the previous behavior.

Correction

A good example of a corrective template is presented in 2Chr 7:14.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2Ch 7:14, KJV)

Notice the love and attention to detailed instructions God includes with his Criticiam of His people’s behavior. This is an example of how God wants us to resolve the conflicts we have with each other. There was a behavior God was not pleased with but He includes steps we can take to return to God’s pleased graces.

Instruction:

A good example of God’s instruction that is not meant for correction of bad behavior but encouragement and steps we can take to reach a goal can be found in 1Pet 4:12-19. In this example God is not correcting bad behavior but rather encouraging us to continue our good behavior even within a hostile and resistant environment.

This encouragement is meant to build and strengthen our walk, not tear us down. How about our criticisms of others? Do the edify and build or just serve to remind others of how they are falling short? Where would any of us be if God took that approach towards us?

One last thought Jesus came to build His people and God’s Kingdom (John 3:17). The devil’s agenda is to tear both down (John 10:10). So, pre-screen your comments and ask yourself “Who’s side am I working for with my current approach?”

Selah.

Pain is not a teacher…

It is a condition that, if our focus is right, can facilitate learning and personal growth. However, if our focus is on the wrong thing, we can come to the wrong conclusion that inevitably becomes detrimental to our development. Our focus decides the direction our thinking will take and the area and quality of the final destination of those thoughts and then the product of our actions.

Since God is the only author and creator of all things good (John 1:3), and since we cannot think or perceive like Him (Isaiah 55:8-9), unless our focus is on God, we cannot conceive a positive lesson or outcome from pain!

However, with our focus on God and submission to His direction, all situations, no matter their origin or agenda, will work for our good (Rom 8:28), despite what they look like or what their original agenda was for our lives.

In order to enjoy these blessings we must be willing to share God’s word whether it is popular to do so or not (2 Tim 4:2). It should be done in love and with patience, and it should be an “instant” response - a spiritual and physical reflex - done without thought or concern about how it makes us look, how others perceive us, or how it will impact our worldly popularity (Mathew 10:32-33)

Make no mistake, we are in a time where lines are being drawn and our silence will no longer be tolerated by God who gives us the words to say in that very moment.

“And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.” (Luk 12:11-12, KJV)

Be loving as Christ was loving. Be patient as God is ever so patient with us, but be bold and prepared to give a witness of your faith to him/her who I s sincerely seeking. No greater love can you demonstrate than a genuine concern for the souls of God’s children.

Good harvesting men and women of God. May your fruit be plentiful in Jesus name,

John Swails
