Too many people rely on leadership in the congregation to do the work of the ministry. Every single member of the body of Messiah needs to get off their blessed assurance and do the work of The Kingdom of Heaven. How are you furthering the Kingdom of Heaven today? In this discussion please either share what you are currently doing for the Kingdom of Heaven, or simply discuss how you may start doing this. Shalom, Reuel

There are different kinds of services, but the same Master. And there are different kinds of workings, but it is the same Elohim who is working all in all. And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting, for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit; and to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; and to another belief by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit; and to another operations of powers; and to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues: But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each one individually as He intends. For as the body is one, and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is the Messiah. For indeed by one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether slaves or free; and we were all made to drink into one Spirit. For indeed the body is not one member, but many. 1 Cor. 12:5-14 Furthering the Kingdom of Heaven is being willing to be: ...crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of Elohim, who loved me, and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20 And then to: Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of Elohim in Messiah Yeshua concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. 1 Thes. 5:17-22 And to; Wait on YHVH, and keep His way, and He shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. Psalm 37:34 Because, by the keeping of His perfect ways we become a candle: ...on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:15-16
Peace be unto all, Yochanah

More buttons being pushed. :-) My radical statement. A life that is not an active example and witness cannot be Christian. In my personal walk the Lord has been leading me to greater and greater depths of service. October 18, 2003 I was laid off from work. I felt very strongly that the Lord was leading me somewhere. I told the Lord as I was driving home. I don't care if I lose my house, I don't care if I lose my car, I don't care if I lose my computers (that one really hurt), I don't care if I lose ..... Show me what you want me to do and I will do it. I can be a little slow so please use a 2x4 if I need it. Well..... Months later I have not been able to find a job and I am involved in full-time volunteer ministry. The Lord has always taken care of me before, He is taking care of me now, and He always will. www.iaua.name

Only if all of G-d's people could pray this! This truly is what He is looking for...A people that will love Him with their whole, heart, mind, and soul, and that will trust Him for -everything-...and, not just pay Him lip service. Father G'd (YHVH), may I, and all my brethren have this heart. Baruch haba B'Shem Adonai B'Shem Yeshua, Reuel

Reuel,
With me being a recovered drug addict through my Fathers Grace, my Father in heaven has opened the door for me to help lead a group of recovering men. He allows me to testify of the great work He has done in my life, and to let them know that He is ready to extend the same hand of loving grace to them. We meet 2 times a week, and it has been a true blessing to share our Fathers word with these men in a Christ centered recovery group. We must pray for all of our Fathers lost children because this world offers so many traps for us, and we can't overcome without the blood of the Lamb. Give thanks, and praise to His Holy Name!

Today Yeshua, Praise Adonai that He has blessed you with the opportunity to teach about G'd, and His mercy to those whom will believe, and become His disciple. I will be praying that our Father continues to bless you in this ministry. Bless you for being a willing vessel to do His ministry. Shalom rav, Reuel

Reuel,
Please keep praying for the recovery meeting, our Father's spirit is really moving at these meetings. There have been five men give their lives to the Lord in less than a month (Praise the Father). We also had 21 people at the last meeting, and that was the most since we started about a year and a half ago. It is a true blessing to watch our Father touch lives and change hearts. I know that it's all about Him and not about us, and I feel so blessed just to serve Him and watch His hand at work. Thank you for your prayers.

We should always try to save the lost. When a man loses something precious, he will spend all the time he has searching for it. These souls are precious to G-d and if we are Christians (Christ-like) our goal should be to save every single precious one we can. I salute all you; especially you, Todah Y'shuah in this forum. May G-d Almighty bless you and double your blessing before the next time you decide to comment on how well these meetings are going.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. This is a verse that really speaks to me:
Let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
James 5:20(NASB)
Praise His holy name.

Please keep praying for this recovery ministry. Our Fathers hand is on this ministry. He is changing hearts, and winning souls for His kingdom. It is a true blessing to see Him at work. Please pray that those serving in this ministry will have His love, and His truth in their hearts. Because we know as it says in John 8:32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free (NASB) Praise His Name!!!

Hey everybody, I just wanted to give the people of this board an update on how the ministry is going. We have been meeting 2 times a week, but we are starting a new meeting on Monday nights that will have us meeting 3 nights a week. We had 26 at the last Wednesday night meeting, and we are still growing. There have been several professions of faith in the last few months, and many are learning about who our Lord and savior is, and lives are truly being changed. One of the local churches that has been seeing the results of this ministry first hand is trying to buy an old school house to run this ministry out of, so that we can spend more time discipling these people. The goal of this ministry is not only to show them the way to be delivered from their addictions, but how to serve the one who has delivered them. Please pray for this ministry, and the people there in. Thanks.
