It matters who we listen to, and what listen for!
Scripture warns us to be aware of who we listen to and what we listen for! Not just spiritually but emotionally! JESUS spoke of phony counterfeit preaching and leadership! But, we can just as easily get embroiled and profoundly affected by careless anger, slander, gossip, arguments, in any relationship both in our homes and outside our homes! We've been warned of demonic influences, yet there are plenty of other subtle influences that can poison our trust, and friendship! If we claim John 3:16 then we have to live 1 John 3:16! Without hypocrisy!...Love is lasting HOLY GHOST fruit! When we dare to expose a lie by living the Truth, GOD gets involved! When we dare to let GOD be true regardless of why, when or how; GOD includes outrageous Grace into the equation! Forgive means to give before: even to the conniving and embittered! If nothing else they end up with "hot coals heaped on their heads", and we end up blessed!

seven earmarks of the last days church!
- First, Leadership will be tried emotionally and defied spiritually! - Second, HOLY GHOST will lead us into victory when we dare to reject being paralyzed by the obvious! - Third, the Church has always been within the church: GOD is bringing out an obviously glorious, spotless, joyous, confident, expectant, bride - Fourth, The harvest will overflow the boundaries of the church: This season will be accelerated for our sakes, because the night is coming when no one will be able to labor! - Fifth, This will be a HOLY GHOST generation! Unashamed and unconfused by doctrines and methods: Sacred in spirit Compassionate in Truth! - Sixth, Established cultural resistance will be fierce: Demonic powers know their demise is near, and must defile or deceive all they can! - Seventh, The Word alone, prayed aloud, confessed, hidden in our hearts, and applied will be enough to overcome and endure:

Mapping out our treasure
We often look and wait for GOD to give us the map to GOD's treasures : ( deposited wealth, 2 Cor. 4:7 ) , when we already have it! All we have to do is map out how and when we want to see, use, and have HIS treasure substantially real in our lives! Permission was granted, authority has been bestowed, opportunity was given in JESUS Blood! Not in some pathetic form of positive confession, current blab and grab incantation, or the latest "seed giving revelation! But calculated steps of prayer, faith and action! Even diets begin with some form of goal! So, why not map out a HOLY GHOST adventure that will confirm GOD's intentions and provision for us in a verifiable, measurable way! That will bring honor to JESUS! It amazes us, how much power is in simply planning, calculating prayer, and focusing GODly attention for real supernatural results in our life! We rarely ever notice how we get to where we're going until we get lost! This is the norm for most of us, BECAUSE WE BECOME TOO RELIGIOUS, and all the more presumptuous

JESUS example of salt, is about HIS Church; > us!
In Matt. 5:13 HE used the example of HIS church being salt. And if it becomes moraino > insipid, or loses it's saltiness, it then becomes useless and discarded. This is about the distinct quality of our regenerate life! In Mark 9:49,50 HE notes that we will all be seasoned > halidzo, with fire, As well as our offerings,sacrifices,and relationships, unless we lose our salt, and become useless. Once again about the distinct quality of our relationship with HIM! - One of the earmarks of the last days, is a major spiritual defection by a majority of Christians. I believe this is because many are losing, or have already lost their salt! For GOD and for HIS Church! - If we're in denial, or have any doubts about our salt, it will be obvious to others both in and outside the Church, because what we believe will become ineffectual!
