Let Every Heart
Prepare Him Room
Be Ye Encouraged !Beloved, be not gullible - take great care not to accept blindly and believe whatever
persons tell you about what someone else "did" or "said" or what "happened." This is mission
critical. An INSTANT after something happens or is said, persons can greatly mis-represent it with a shift in wording,
intonation, and emotion. The way it is perceived and then represented to others can be somewhat, very, or COMPLETELY
unrelated to actual reality. Either dismiss it totally, or Find Out the Actual Facts. Some beings have an ability
to accurately perceive and report things without morphing reality. Know and Understand the Difference. See TRUTH.
AND, - BE - a Person who perceives and relays (speaks of) things accurately and truthfully, absent exaggerations or embellishments
or infusing of your own emotions or mental projections or assumptions about someone's intentions!! So, so
important for taking part in humanity without "trouble-causing."
Do not go on teaching
things like "forgive but don't 'forget'" type of ways-of-the-world! Very simply, we are all Called to Not
"blame" in the first place, but if we do bring mental and/or verbal accusations, we are Commanded to FORGET
- and - "FORGIVE!" . . .
Know that nothing done in the Spirit ever goes waste.
Every thought, word, and deed informally or in a formal Sermon or Scripture Lesson, based in Pure Love and Truth shall, by
definition, reach the hearts of the Brethren...
Persons may not voice or express it; however, scattering the seeds
of unconditional Divine Love and Sanctity eventually falls on fertile soil. Fellow beings may not know
or see it themselves - yet the Word based in Holiness and Truth inevitably takes root in the Heart.
Full
Trust and Surrender to God: Taking the Youth beyond the Nursery Level
When we surrender to God and Live in His Will, we ask for
nothing beyond God's Will be Done and a pure, open, and loving heart. Only, dear Lord, to be absorbed
in You, to be filled with You, to do only Thy Will . . . Be Still and Know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10
We will know what God’s Word means for us when
we are still before Him and relinquish our own little will and sets of needs, wants, and desires and Totally Fully allow
the Divine to work in and through us. We are desireless in that All is surrendered to His Will.
We
let go, even of the corner of the "security blanket" we may still be gripping, and lay ourselves open in heart,
mind, body, and soul to His Work in us. No (or minimal) particular list of deeds, healings, seeking for "rewards"
on Earth or Heaven, people to show up, people to go... NOTHING. NOTHING. We simply dwell in His presence
in Love. Love seeks nothing, wants nothing. It is not a bargain in the marketplace. In smooth times, in
crisis times, in All Times, submit fully to God's Will. Drop the "I," "me" that may start to well
up and simply Live in His Grace.
(Note that, not to be taken out of context, this all does
not mean suspending Prayers for our brethren. We, of course, still hold them all in our heart of hearts and keep them
in Prayer that God's Will be Done for them and in their every breath and moment of life.)
The only real prayer in His
Perfect Grace is Lord, Thy Will Be Done, in me, in all of us. Amen.

Take Great Care - do not slip un-noticed into becoming a "cardboard minister."
Beware of starting to use "stock phrases" and having "stock scripture" at hand for different circumstances.
LET THE HOLY SPIRIT WORK IN AND THROUGH YOU. Know that there is a huge difference between being a sermonizer and being
a minister--pastoring as a calling. Go into retreat diving deep into the Word, Solitude, Prayer, as well as Divine Fellowship
for three to four weeks per year if at all possible. And if you find yourself drifting into stock-phrases, stock-scripture,
or robotic automatic-pilot pastoring, take at least a month (or more) to go Up to the Mountain Top with the Holy Spirit -
and then return and be a Divine Refuge in the storm for all thy Brethren. Love One Another. Love One Another,
submitting fully to the Will of God. On "ministering"
and "evangalism" - Take great care to not think or speak of anyone as if they are a "notch" on your
evangalistic belt, either directly or in subtle indirect forms. This is a slip into the abyss. It has to
do with the demenour and the way you share things, perceive things, and ways in which you "share testimony."
Take care lest your foot slip on that rock . . . You do not need to "advertise." Just let the
Holy Spirit work in and Through you, which is oft time quietly and gently. Beloved, there is a time to proclaim
loudly from the roof-tops and a time to remain quiet... This site exists to be a source of sustinance and encouragement. It allows us to reach those
who minister to one another.
Please use this site as a resource for REFLECTION, and to deepen and
broaden your dive into the Gospel. We look forward to hearing from you and answering any questions you might have.
