LETS CONTEND !!

"You have got to keep contending because if you don't contend then the vast majority of the church worldwide if it doesn't have prophets and apostles and evangelists and teacher/pastors contending, passionate, overcoming their own disappointments, their own cynicism, their own skepticism and unbelief - pushing through the demonic lies, if you don't have leaders like that then the church will gladly settle quickly to sermonettes on a Sunday and dead religious rituals and laws and superstition and guilt and doctrines of demons!"

Craig, huge encouragement! When we can release our hearts without layers of cynicism and rejection impeding the “substance” of God's grace, people receive God's life, love and empowerment. This is why I love the example of John the Baptist's boldness. It reminds us not to let the accusations of a religious spirit silence our voices, the voices of those crying out in the wilderness of law, legalism and religion with the message of God's grace. There are foundational men and women who've been through some things that are rising up to bring strength to the grace community. Your post today is an example. When we are brought back to the Rock, we are once again living STONES.

Hey Jim...thanks for the comment...i must admit...i love what you say ..."When we can release our hearts without layers of cynicism and rejection impeding the “substance” of God's grace, people receive God's life, love and empowerment."..how true. People become recipients of these things (manifested at times as the gospel with signs wonders miracles and various healings following)when we are free from the accusation of the enemy, in all his/its various forms...and we soak in the gospel (if Gods grace) to be free and remain free..
