We all make mistakes

Spiritual Growth

Here is an excerpt from a letter 

I wrote to a dear brother in the Lord.

Your words “I have made a lot of mistakes” is tumbling around in my heart maybe even, not so much the words as the feelings expressed in those words my heart identified with as something I have experienced. We all make mistakes in our spiritual walks. I found with myself I allowed spiritual excitement to carry me farther than my knowledge, wisdom and discernment of God’s word had taken me at that time...Disaster In big bold red letters.

Repercussions, yes, and it is humbling to have to deal with them, but God is gracious in His love for us. In my heart He is looking down on us as children first learning to walk, children who run and fall down for they have not yet mastered their balance. God allows us to fall down to skin our knees, bruise our egos, scratch our legs, arms and elbows sometimes so we learn to get back up dig in the word and see where we errored at. To fine tune our balance to our walk, skip, hop, jump or run. With this in mind...know it is just the Holy Spirit at Work in You! Teaching, leading and guiding you into the Word of God so you have better balance in your spirit.

Remember too that sometimes when we are working in faith that work also requires others involved to have faith also; God’s work is seldom a solo performance. The first think I learned about God was to fear Him in awe understanding that He really is God and He will do what He has said He will do....It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, a God that has such an intense love for us that he is jealous. I think a lot of people miss that, just how intense, deep, and enduring God’s love for us is...True it is a love to deep for us to understand completely it is beyond our minds ability, however I also believe if we do not try to get that concept our understanding is clouded...So if you are in check, check out the faith on the other end...sad to say however there are professed Christians out there that are clueless...and lack even simple understanding of those things unseen...inexperienced....you know what I am going to Say...My all times line....”some allow religion to happen to them not in them”.....Had too......:)

All we can do to build their faith is pray for them and perhaps find a gentle way to lead them back to Calvary all of it...guide them to review from the agony in the garden to the cross, for it is sometimes hard to realize and grasp just how much our Jesus went through that we not be burdened with those trials...Have them pray for understanding of those events, for with understanding comes faith, and by faith we understand, that we have never given enough until we have given it all...( I know faith comes by hearing but for me it has come in other ways too) Then love comes... in abundance even Jesus after he gave it all came back to give more...Teach them to ponder on these things. Many have only been taught about the blood and it is most precious and what cleanses us of our sins, but he gave us much more and the mystery of those things are in His blood from his tears of blood in the garden to the cross He overcame much for us. Let us remind others to receive, ponder, and pray for understanding of all the heartache he has already covered for us....If we will just pass it on!

Preaching again aren’t I. Okay, just one more thing! Teach them to ponder...I know they have translated it out of the bible, but I honestly believe removing some things like pondering, perception, and kissing the son should have been left in there!!!!! For all three have been vital points of learning in my walk...(Sorry....Rabbit trial) you know how opinionated I can get about that....:) okay two more things:)

Remember, one instant in His will is worth 10,000 lifetimes. For just a glimpse into his Glory sears a heart to eternity. Desire His gifts and work and train and be diligent towards them, they shall come, for it has been spoken and there is life in God’s Word not one will return to Him void. Give thanksgiving always for the writing of the word on our hearts.

When the spirit manifests within you, you are no longer just a follower of Christ but now you are a vessel of Christ by his indwelling Spirit and builder toward His will on earth even as it is in heaven. He will mold you and place you where you are to be...that your manifestation work toward His will in all things that His will be met in the earth even as it is in heaven. To His Glory be the work of our hands as ministers of His Word we bring Glory to the name above all names, Jesus. Never forgetting to seek His face in all we do, trust in God and place our faith in the things unseen anticipating fully His return in Glory; our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Remember me in your prayers.

In the love of Christ,
