Here's another Truth from the book, The Inner Woman of the Heart. I was so young when the LORD was giving me these Truths. I mean I was like 28 years younger...ummmmmm....that would have made me like 33. A long time ago!! ....but....O soooooooo rich!!!!!! Just listen:
As I studied God’s WORD, I read
about how Paul rebuked the Church at Corinth for this same reason:
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto
spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat;
for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is
among you envying and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal and walk as men?
(1 Corinthians 3: 1-3)
I said,
“Lord, that’s exactly what is going on in your
body. Jealousy, quarreling and division abound.
I meet people who I know love you and are serving you to the best of
their ability; and the next thing I know, they are criticizing someone else who
I know is also your child. I’ve been
guilty of doing the same thing, myself.
Please forgive me!”
Then, the Lord
said,
“My children are just like your children. They begin on milk, and just like any newborn
baby, they cry out to me for every little thing. As tiny babies, all they can do is cry. If they study my WORD, they begin to crawl
and jabber; and, then they toddle and speak one word at a time. As they begin to walk, they should also begin
speaking a little louder and a little clearer.
Learn from me.
Do not give your children more responsibility than they can handle, but
do not allow them to remain babies with no responsibilities either. Do everything in order. Let you toddler get up on his feet. Let Franklin walk, and let him fall. Be there as a loving parent, just as I AM
there for you when you fall.
In the spiritual realm, the toddler’s fall represents
sin. As you confess your sin, I forgive
you and help you to your feet. If you
fail to confess your sin, you continue to struggle and cry, sometimes never
returning to your walk.
Do not carry your children while they are learning to
walk, unless they are tired, for they must learn to walk if they are to be
mature men. It is the same with your
spiritual children, both your husband and sons and your brothers and sisters in
Christ who follow behind you. Let them
walk, but let them know that you are there to lend a helping hand.
My children fight among themselves causing me much
heartbreak. Just as your children make
you sad when they argue and fight, so do my children make me sad. Teach them to "love one another”, as I have loved them.
Allowing my love to flow through your family assures eternal life.
I AM LOVE! I AM
LIFE! I AM GOD! Therefore, love flowing through your family
means that I flow through your family.
My Baptist children must love my Pentecostal children; my Methodist
children must love my Presbyterian and Episcopal children; and on, and on.
For there is only One God – One Spirit of God -- One
Eternal Life – One Love! I AM no
respecter of persons. Whether black,
white, man, woman, Jew, Gentile, Baptist, or Catholic, when you receive ME, you
become My CHILD – My PEOPLE – you are a CHRISTIAN, a BELIEVER! All other titles are behind you as far as I
AM concerned.”
How exciting it is to realize that Almighty God, Creator of Heaven and
Earth – is my Father! He wants me to
call Him, Abba Father, which means Father in the context of the very
familiar and intimate name, Daddy. I
also believe that it is very exciting when He speaks to me specifically – when
He tells me how to treat my children.
You know I have people ask me do I really hear the LORD! You know, I do! I do hear Him!! He's my Shepherd, and He says that His sheep hear His voice. To say differently is to deny His Word...or to call Him a liar.
I used to have to ask Him, "LORD, is this You?" I had to find Word that agreed with what He said to me, and then, I was sure. Now, I have so much Word in me, that I know when He's speaking...He never disagrees with or contradicts His Word!!
Enough to chew on again...
Glad it's His will that I meditate on what He says!!
Chewing and Chewing as I leave you tonight...
Love you all!!! God bless!!!
