answers: Kyle, often you may find that there are wounded healers, that are able to reach out and lift us up. By wounded healers I mean those who were once wounded and shackled by the chains of sin, when Jesus broke the chains and set the wounder sinners free so they could be a representative healing to others, as Jesus Christs ambasadors. For those whom have been forgiven of much, often are more open to share and uplift those who are deep in sin and wounded, needing the Lords touch. If ther is anything that helps you, then it is the Lord alone who has reached out to you, not me. Never underestimate what the Holy Spirit can do for a receptive believer, I think you are such a believer. Because there are no Lone Ranger Christians, I can bet that someone somewhere has planted the seed of Jesus in you heart before. We may someday see how our sowing and reaping for the Master has turned out, but for now we trust that the lord uses us as we are able. To add one thing, never take a human beings word as tthe Word of the Lord, for only the Bible is the Word of God. If anyone says anything that does not take you to the Word of God ignor what they say. May I do just what I just said. Start with the Gospel of John and read it, try to pick out the gems that are there to speak to you. Study these verses, and read John again, pick out the gems once again. If you do this several times you will find new gems of the Word everytime! I am glad the Lord has set you and your wife free, now grow, go share with others you see in need of the healing touch of Jesus through you. Blessings, and always glad to respond to you Kyle.

dear justme once again you eminate the character of Jesus in your humility and humbleness in not wanting to take credit for any of what you said to me in your last post, in other words, if i am correct you are saying that you did nothing. Jesus also said in John 5v30 "i can of myself do nothing" in verse 19 he makes the same statment, yet you try telling the 5000 witnesses who ate and saw the marical of the 5 loaves and 2 fish that he did nothing mmmmm! You try telling those witnesses who were healed by pauls shadow and those that he laid hands on and were healed that he did nothing, I still give you aplause, and i understand that it is not you who has reached out to me but indeed it was the Lord, but you cannot tell me you did nothing, But check out this comment and then the scripture. Proverbs 27:2 Note, 1. We must do that which is commendable, for which even strangers may praise us. Our light must shine before men, and we must do good works that may be seen, though we must not do them on purpose that they may be seen. Let our own works be such as will praise us, even in the gates, Phil. 4:8. 2. When we have done it we must not commend ourselves, for that is an evidence of pride, folly, and self-love, and a great lessening to a man's reputation. Every one will be forward to run him down that cries himself up. There may be a just occasion for us to vindicate ourselves, but it does not become us to applaud ourselves. Proprio laus sordet in ore-- Self-praise defiles the mouth. from Matthew Henry's Commentary Prov 27:2 2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. (NKJ) So you see this is what i am doing, i am praising you honoring you for being obediant to the Holy Spirit, for allowing the Holy Spirit to use you to speak the father heart of God to me. What im trying to say i guess is, thank you, thank you for being Jesus to me and other people,and i agree with you, the Bible is the only word of God, but any brother in Christ who speaks peace, love, compassion, gentelness, understanding, grace and hope, speaks the language and words of God and proverbs has this to say. Prov 25:11 11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. (NKJ) Proverbs 25:11-12 Instructive similes Solomon here shows how much it becomes a man, 1. To speak pertinently: A word upon the wheels, that runs well, is well-circumstanced, in proper time and place-- instruction, advice, or comfort, given seasonably, and in apt expressions, adapted to the case of the person spoken to and agreeing with the character of the person speaking-- is like golden balls resembling apples, or like true apples of a golden colour (golden rennets), or perhaps gilded, as sometimes we have gilded laurels, and those embossed in pictures of silver, or rather brought to table in a silver network basket, or in a silver box of that which we call filigree- work, through which the golden apples might be seen. Doubtless in was some ornament of the table, then well known. As that was very pleasing to the eye, so is a word fitly spoken to the ear. (from Matthew Henry's Commentary) So my dear justme i thank you once again for your Holy Spirit inspired words of wisdom and comfort. just some thing else that you may want to know, i dont know if i have mentioned it but my wife and i are assistant cell leaders and we are part of the healing team in our church, we have both been saved and having a relationship with Jesus for almost 3 years now, and God is doing a quik work in our lives as we RUN THE RACE to become more like his son Jesus. I do know however, that i have been called to evangelizem not just in my place of work but in and around Africa, i am just waiting for God to release me into full time ministry, but in the mean time i look, listen and learn until my appointed time comes. Justme any time you just want to talk to somebody about God,Jesus the Holy Spirit or just talk hay! i would be happy to comply. KYLE |

answers, Kyle: I am glad to hear that you and your wife are cell leaders. This is a good preperation as well you are getting first hand experience in taking The Word in written form to applied real life experiences. That is real ministry. I can sense you have the joy of your salvation in action and deed. I encourage to make preperation for what ever ministry God calls you to, by perhaps taking some classes at a Bible school near you. My wife and I went to Bible college and seminary together. We ministered to four churches together, she is and always has been the wind benieth my wings. You and your wife if at all possible should take as many courses together as possible. That is if you feel the Lords leading in that direction. If you and your wife ernestly pray for God to open doors if it's His will, I can assure that you will have no doubt that he is leading you. Actually we felt we were on the Lords roller coster. Time went by so fast, and before we knew it we were older, and retired with five grandchildren. We are blessed beyond what anyone should be. The Lord does make a way when we wait for directions, and then move with faith, "For without faith it is impossible to please God". What more can I say? Blessings. justme |
