Learning to love beyond myself was not instantaneous (although I do believe in some cases it can happen as we are adopted as children of God). Truthfully, it can only be amazingly accomplished by the Grace of Jesus and the Work of the Holy Spirit.</div>

When I was first married, (as a Christian young lady); I had to learn sacrificial - 'selfLESS-serving-love' toward my husband as he did for me. It was a daily pursuit as we had to learn to bite our tongues and thus serve one another. Laying down our lives and our wants for the other.</div>

Then kids come along...wow! And when they were babies, we found them quite demanding of wants and needs too! The big thing is; we have this 'BIG' love in our hearts for them. We WANT to provide, protect and care for them. Yet, again it takes laying our own fleshly needs and wants down for our children.</div>

Painful situations in my life have come (through-out the years) as my<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><strong><em>BIG</em></strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>heart gets stepped on, poked at, misunderstood and eventually broken. The heart (emotionally speaking) is such a powerful and vital part of life. Without it, life would indeed be empty. Would you agree?

<em>"Imagine how I feel when my<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>BIG</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>heart is stomped on, poked and broken?"

Are we willing to continue to love BIG, even though there is suffering involved? That is an answer only you and I can give. But, allow me to add; as long as we are FULL OF JESUS, and long to continue to serve Him in completeness; we will not be able to do anything else but to LOVE<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em><strong>BIG</strong></em>!</div>

I can tell you from years of experience, I have had my moments I would rather just walk away and not feel the aches of being hurt when my love is twisted around and truly misunderstood. And, quite frankly, I have done this...walked away. Yet, praise the Lord - someone was praying I know that for sure! That, eventually I decided this has caused a distance between me and my Lord. I want to be ONE with Jesus. Thus, I knew the fear of being hurt AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN... would have to flee. I cannot have a 'precedence' first before living our a life of LOVING OTHERS.</div>

<span class="text Matt-8-10">WOW! Can you imagine that? Having Jesus looking at you, then at those all around, saying; "...Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel?"

I want that, I want to be THERE; in the place where my walk of faith, my words and actions that Jesus' [My Lord & King!] would be marveled at! How about you, are ya with me?

<span class="text Matt-8-10"><span class="oneClick-link oneClick-available">I want to with all my heart; for my God to admire me and be astonished! Yet, this is NOT what this man...this Centurion was setting out to do. Not at all! He was in a place of desperation; but also REALIZATION of Who Jesus is. A centurion is a soldier over a hundred soldiers. He was a comptroller of the town and well respected in this position. An officer of this stature was; "...chosen by merit, and so were men remarkable not so much for their daring courage as for their deliberation, constancy, and strength of mind." [M. Henry] Think on this, in comparison to all of us today; he had it all! He had prestige, respect, money, authority, intelligence and power. So many of us today, that is how SUCCESS is measured; isn't it? So, if we reach success, especially to this level will our mind & heart set be brought to humility on the behalf of others? This is where this leader was, his heart was broken for his servant who was struck with an awful disease of palsy. Palsy then was a type of paralysis either resulting from a stroke, bells palsy or something that caused numbness. It was looked at as impossible to cure and likely fatal.</span></span></div>

By 'beseeching' Him, the Centurion became a beggar. 'This is the only instance of one that came to him for a servant:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Lord, my servant lieth at home sick</i>.' A humble heart was in this man; simply because He knew Who Jesus truly was (& is today).

<strong>HIS FAITH</strong> was great and excellent, rare and uncommon, and Christ spoke of it as a wonderful thing, to teach us what is to be admired. The Centurion was not an Israelite; yet he was being honored by Jesus the Son of God.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
In the next few verses Jesus gives a 'talkin to' to the Children of Israel; where much more is expected. "But, there was no greater faith like this gentile's (non Israelite) seen in all Israel." Saying simply; it's the GRACE of God that searches the heart of ALL MAN (regardless of background).</div>

The call of God upon a man or woman, (when answered) totally breaths another type of life and even character into their lives. God's Heart is captured within, causing great passion for a dying world to be shown a way of salvation. As we pastors grow in our call; by serving others and spending intimate time in communion with our Lord; this PASSION intensifies greatly. So much so, it becomes greatly what we think and talk about ALL THE TIME; which then causes our feet to move and our hands to reach out.</div>

We love to listen, be a shoulder for one's to cry on, and offer sound advice coupled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit.</div>

As we dwell on this aspect, allow me to take you down a difficult roadway for many pastors today. They have this call, God's Heart-Beat pounding intensely within; yet their voices don't seem to be heard. God's Word is preached, prayer and fasting is being practiced, God is filling the minister with His blessed Spirit that gives great 'unction' to continue the work. Still, Pastor's telephone and visit, trying whatever avenue the Lord leads them to minister; and the response is not there. God's blessed presence is felt during the worship time in the service, the Pastor preaches (filled with love) with great affection and still; there is a deafening silence.</div>

Pastor, if you are there; you understand when church is over you feel an aching deep within your spirit. With a gentle smile, hugs around the necks of your parishioner's and kind words (plus quick counseling sessions); the doors are closed and locked and another service is over. Or is it? We all know and do believe God's Word doesn't return void, He is working on everyone's hearts and minds what was delivered that Sunday. It's not over inside the Pastor and even their entire family either. All week long, this is the day you anticipate to be used by the Lord for lives to be changed for His Glory. Yet another service, is over; seemingly, it seems fruit is not multiplying.</div>

These ministries are filled with intercessors. There is a loving unity that abides within the Body; where brothers and sisters in Christ are just that: a family. They find it difficult to say goodbye when it's time to part. Yet, many pastors (who are true & quite genuine in their love for God & people); are in a pastorship that see's little of what a healthy church has.</div>

"But understand this, that in the last days there<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><u><em><strong><span style="color: red;">will come times of difficulty</span></strong></em></u>. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people."</div>

Difficult passage of scripture; yet we all KNOW that truly this<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><u><strong><em>is in all the world</em></strong></u><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>filled with, "<strong><u><span style="color: #674ea7;">lovers of self</span></u></strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>- more than lovers of God." The FRUIT of this is<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><u><strong><span style="color: blue;">destruction</span></strong></u>; "It is the most destructive influence upon interpersonal relationships imaginable. It eliminates concern for the other person’s welfare and sucks the life out of any meaningful communication. It is the first sin of the universe, when Adam and Eve chose themselves over God, and it tops the list of sins that God hates" [<em><a href="http://www.awordfromtheword.org/lovers-of-self">Dr. Dan Hayden</a></em>]</div>

This self love has been the break down of the church. When we note that priorities are based on the factor of: <u><em><strong>'me'</strong></em></u>; other's needs are neglected (including God's). How does this affect Pastors? Those who do not allow anger to fester, still do deal with intense frustration; who feel a gnawing eating within their hearts. To be frank; it is MISERABLE! God's LIFE GIVING SPIRIT; has led the Pastor (and his entire family) to a ministry to bring LIFE. But, it's just not being received!</div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
Here is where the Pastor battles his own emotions of loss on what to do and how to reach out, thus that leans to sadness. Feeling bewildered, realizing God's Heart; a Pastor (who is earnest in his call), approaches each day of service only knowing one thing: BE FAITHFUL. The difficulty lies, seeing one's self and their family in disarray. Worn, but knowing God well enough that He will take care of them. The Pastor asks God the question; "Do I continue...do I keep going on, year after year, with no fruit?" Saying to his / her Lord; "God, I want to love them with Your love...I NEED to be used of You to cultivate the harvest of souls. Help me, God: I feel as if I am slowly dying not being USED UP for You!"</div>

Slowly dying, ouch! Not spiritually, but ministerially and emotionally. Do pastors admit that to one</div>

another? I think not! But, there are several ministries (churches) that are in this very 'state'. There are some pastors too, who are feeling (as they long to serve) that they are slowly sinking and their feet are just getting heavier. The support in prayer, affirmation, and finances (sometimes) is just simply non existent.</div>

Seek out a friend, a godly man or woman who is truly in 'touch' with the leading of the Holy Spirit. This person may or may not be a fellow pastor, or minister but can also be one who is passionate about serving the Lord and others. Confide this to them, pour your heart out. Allow them to pray for you and be your confidant. We need this. I cannot tell you that you need to leave this ministry or stay. But, I can tell you; God see's your faithfulness to Him;</div>

<span class="p">I know several aged ministers who have had those healthy, fruitful churches as well as those dry, unhealthy ones too. What encourages me as a Pastor (with my husband); is the GLOW on their faces (reminding me of Stephen when martyred by Paul) when they speak of ALL THE YEARS of ministry and how many (of their old parishioners) have come to them (even from those barren churches) and tell them how God used them (the aged Pastor) to turn their lives over to the Lord. And how, God blessed in that their families today are serving Jesus. Ya see, we just don't know; only God knows. Hang on my friend, God is making a way. Meanwhile, draw strength from the WELL, being filled with His refreshing!</span></div>

[Sometimes (as we all have done) she will get a word wrong, or put them in the wrong places.] I told her, "Would you like it if someone misquoted you, and it changed up everything you had said?"

Ignorance, and if not ignorance; then it's just rebellion adhering to this twisted adherence of theology. We serve a Triune God; which means unity (3 in one). Thus, the Holy Spirit (which is part of the triune Godhead) breathed into (inspired) all who were ordained to write the scriptures we read today, in the Old & New Testament. Jesus says in Lu. 15 that apart from Christ; man is cut off from God; thus we MUST embrace the entirety of the Word of God.</span><br />

The winds will blow but most important are we ready for the winds to blow. We must be prepared to be fruitful in the times that which are before us. We must be prepared when the wind does blow there will be things exposed and will we be prepared for what we see.

Eye sight is so important to our everyday life that we take for granted the preciousness of the gift God has given to us. Jesus reached out and touched the blinded eyes so they could in turn rejoice in seeing life and all they could experience. What is our spiritual eye sight worth to us? It is my prayer that you see Jesus for all He is and rejoice in seeing Him fully.</div>

It is crazy how we can go through the Old Testament and see how it relates today and it sure does. Haggai chapter 2 shares with us how we tend to veiw things and how God does and how we get priorities off and then miss out on what God may have for us. The Amplified Bible shares an important message for today in verses 12-13 "Holiness is not infectious and Unholiness is infectious"</div>

The apostle Paul wrote "I press toward the mark" and this is what we are to do is make our lives intentional because there is no oops in our Christian walk . We have to eye the goal and live accordingly. If we push through then we will enjoy a life that is intended for God's glory.</div>

To Know God is a place where we ought to want to be able to hear the heart of a loving Father.<br />
There are so many things that God desires to help us understand and all we have to say is I want to understand and whatever it is that will be good for me . The greatest heart that is needed today is a teachable heart.HOPE FOR THE GENERATIONShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08313967973706879504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385069194340079891.post-67332119393648722722013-09-13T08:31:00.000-07:002013-09-13T08:31:02.642-07:00Come Unto Me<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> to open our own spiritual eyes to this truth. Just</span></span><br />
