"THE HEART & MOUTH MUST AGREE!" When you do not "value your own words", as much as God's Word, you devalue the weight of influence they have in the world being created around you - even when you speak "with conviction"; because the authority of every man or woman is diminished by "the heart and the mouth" in disagreement! This denotes the primary reason "idle communication" is judged, according to Matthew 12; "by your own words, you will be justified or condemned"... TALK "with purpose and on purpose"! So, when God uses you to speak for HIM (prophesy), even what you share "from your heart", and not as a "Thus Saith The Lord" - will move people towards HIM! WATCH - Your Words..WS-3 Walter L.

"BEING PROPHETIC DOESN'T MAKE YOU INERRANT!" When we "prophesy", we do not assume a "mantle of inerrancy, immutability and infinity", like Jesus Christ; people of God! Many prophetic utterances over economies, nations and people's lives, must follow the continuum and process of Revelation , Interpretation and Application; so calling something a "false prophecy", is not basing what was communicated upon the fulfillment of specific details or degrees of accuracy -- although that becomes more and more certain "by reason of exercise and use". For instance, I've fasted and prayed - knowing by counsel, by God's Word, and by other verifiable mature witnesses that God's Mind on a matter was clearly revealed to me.  But, what materialized was the complete opposite! Like what I saw during the recent Presidential elections.. God did NOT elect Jimmy Carter, George Bush, Barack Obama, etc - the "...

"SYRUPY SWEET vs FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT" Saying something "in love" doesn't mean it comes out "syrupy sweet", where the potential of offense - ceases, no matter how nice or kind your words may be; because the content (truth) may cut to the core of their heart, bringing to the surface some pain that they may not have known exist, or didn't ever want to have to confront! The "Fruit of the Spirit" should be evidenced though, but "spiritual things must be spiritually discerned", so don't expect bitter, carnal, or wounded people to receive your words, in love! Therefore, "In love", primarily implies and reveals that the "underlying intentions" or the "motivating factors" - in which something is communicated; many times is flawed due to "the expression" coming out all wrong! If "God's love" is the foundation of our communication, even if we "ere in s...

UNEXPLAINABLE MIRACLES..SUPERNATURAL GOD! Through the years, I've seen some very interesting manifestations of God's Glory revealed in our ministry endeavors throughout the world. As I'm remembering some of those unusual and funny times where peculiarly powerful demonstrations brought us to greater dimensions of obedience and reverence for the Spirit of Grace; one instance comes to mind this morning... I had an assignment on the Eastern Shore of Maryland for a season, in which many of the seeds that we'd sown, are still harvesting in the Delmarva region today. One in particular involved a time of prayer with a well-known local pastor, in which his "surprise visit", had me boldly laying hands on him, in my fun pajamas - with some of the biggest and furriest cartoon-character "blue-slippers, you'd ever seen..LOL! At the conclusion of our time, he happened to look down, then he encountered and BEHELD, the "blessing of T...
