Enslaved by Theology and doctrine some attempt to prove their righteousness before the world..., You have to do this; you can't do that..., it imprisons the believer through judgement and condemnation..., misplacing love with hate and intolerance..., religion.
Love One Another is simplicity at its greatest, by setting us free we willingly submit ourselves to God's unfailing mercy and seek to share it with others in every season..., replacing hate with love..., and exercising what we have been shown..., complete and total forgiveness entirely..., faith.

Christy, welcome to Big Church and I am so glad you joined. There are lots of nice people here and you will meet some of the most fantastic folks from around the world to fellowship with.
God knows how much I have missed you each time we are sent different directions in life and so it is a total blessing and a wonderful surprise that you have found Big Church and joined. "It's all God's fault" as Sister Melody would say.
LOVE YOU SIS!

RAHAB

HEBREWS 11:31 NKJ
By faith the Rahab did not perish . . .
Rahab was not a descendant of Israel. She was a from the city of Jericho, which God commanded Israel to utterly destroy. But because of her faith, all that was hers was spared. She also became an ancestor of Jesus of Nazareth, being the great- great-grandmother of King David (Matthew 1:5-6).
No matter who you are, or what you have done, there is hope for you. Through faith in God, and His provision, your life can be changed.
Rahab asked that all her family and all their possessions be protected. This action evidently pleased God because Hebrews 11 commends her faith, and tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6,31).
JOSHUA 2:12-13 NKJ
"Now therefore, I beg you, swear to me by the Lord, since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my father's house, and give me a true token, "and spare my father, my mother, my brothers, my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death."
Note that Rahab asked for a token, a sign. They told her to place a blood-colored cord in her window -- representing her faith in God's provision of blood under the Old Covenant.
JOSHUA 2:18,21 NKJ
". . . bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down . . . .
Then she said, "According to your words, so be it." And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet cord in the window.
JOSHUA 6:23,25 NKJ
And the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. So they brought out all her relatives and left them
outside the camp of Israel. And Joshua spared Rahab the , her father's household,
and all that she had . . . .
We should stand in faith just as Rahab did and ask for the lives of all our family members, and for all our possessions.
Then we must "display the scarlet cord" in our windows -- the Blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. When the devil comes to steal, kill, or destroy us, or anything that belongs to us, we must make sure he sees the Blood of Jesus.
If a , who had no covenant with God, by her faith received God's protection for all her family and possessions, surely as believers in the New Covenant established by Jesus' Blood, our faith can do at least as much.
By faith, I place the blood of Jesus over all my family, those I love and all.

Great Awakening

Here in this moment and time,
We search for wonders and miracles and signs,
Something to satisfy the hunger in us all,
The human reach from deep within our soul.
Like a machine in pursuit,
On the horizon like a raging fire we move,
driven by questions in an endless search for truth,
There is a story in us,
THE GREAT AWAKENING BEGINS.
I believe there's a mighty power,
I believe it's a latter rain,
I believe there's a move of God calling us all higher,
Oh, I believe these are the days of the great awakening.
More than our hearts can contain,
It is an over flow of God's AMAZING GRACE
Coming to reconcile a world that's lost it's way,
Oh, All consuming fire, come purify us once again.
There's no containing this great move of restoration,
No walls, No boundaries, No lines,
Without a doubt I do believe if we'll just get down on our knees the latter rain is gonna fall,
it's just a matter of time.
OOOps, got caught listening to my 4HIM CD again......,

Have You Ever Noticed?

Have you ever noticed that the Bible is chock filled with stories about how God chose the least likely persons to succeed and demonstrated His great ability by raising them to success against incredible odds?
If a mother had two and one of them got sick, would she throw the sick away?
Let's suppose that she had the medicine to cure the sick , would she give the cure to the well in hopes of making it even better?
How absurd!
She would give her attention to the sick and cure it.
Is there any among you, who if your asks for bread will give him a stone?
Or, if the asks for a fish, will give it a snake?
If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your , how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
Matthew 7:9-11
We all have one Father and Creator.
Malachi 2:10
God loves the unlovable, He forgives the unforgiveable, He saves the unsavable.
Nothing is too difficult for God, not even to love, forgive or save the least likely of us.
There is no such thing as unlovable, unforgiveable or unsavable in God's vocabulary.
God uses the language of love.
Dear Father, heal me with Your precious love, don't ever let me doubt that Your forgiveness is never ending, and let Your saving grace abound throughout all generations. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Distance/ Or Not

There are times when it seems that I go through a short period now and then when it feels like there is a distance between me and God.
The power, revelation, and increased moves of the Spirit appear dormant and it causes me to pray constantly as I long to feel the extreme presence I am used to.
It helps when I remind myself that God is a Good Shepherd and He gives His sheep rest.
Usually when He gives me that rest it is just before something really big and amazing is about to happen.
So I have learned to appreciate the rest, recognize that it isn't distance from God at all, but a part of His infinite wisdom and concern for me.
A sheep will not rest if it's worried, so if God is giving me rest I should not worry, only trust, expectantly that great and mighty things are about to happen.
Thank you God for Your tender care and the rest You give to prepare us all for greater things to come.

He loved us before we loved Him.
So oughtened we be so very excited to love others before they love us; even our enemies.
