The Prodical Daughter

My testimony in a nutshell is the prodical daughter.

In the church we stand at the mike and testify of our expericences about how God has brought us through a trial in this life. I will not take the time to do that here. At least not in detail. What I want to do is Testify of His power in my life to help another. Not just focusing on myself but how my trials have helped me help others.

I have been delivered from much to love much. But one thing angers me. Those who sit in false judgement. Judge not lest ye be judged. Forgive so that you can be forgiven. We sow our lives not just the Word. I want to talk about the Word made flesh and the Holy Spirit acts through our lives. This helps us to renew our minds to the fact the Holy Spirit has asked us to make room for Him. To live with us and in us and through us. And all that is in opposition to Him must be laid at the foot of the cross or nailed to it.

I recently saw a Promise Keepers meeting where Ann Graham Lotz said something that quickened in my spirit. "We give ourselves to God in pieces" Unlike God who gives us His whole person at once.

We may have a experience where we are filled with the Holy Spirit who is exactly like Jesus without a body. We are to be His body on earth as we yeild our memebers to Him in word and deed.

I personally have made a covenant with God but I have violated this covenant and had to repent. But God is faithful and keeps His promises. We have to speak up and flee when we are in a Joseph and Potiphar's Wife situtation.

Elected

Christians are elected too. We are called to live above the fray of low life opposition to our principles.

I happen to live in a lower income area where people associate income with class. By that I mean sophistocation or intellengence. I also have a handicap which sometimes retricts my speech. So like moses I am slow of speech. But my physical and demographical limitations will not stop me. I choose to live above the low life that some people insist on living.

We are free moral agents and if one wants to live a lower life on the food chain than God has called them too then that is thier choice. But the low living that I resist is not aimed the particular group of people that I live around. I love my neighbors. I live among and am part of the working poor. Its the criminal mind that insist on hurting others on purpose, that I object to.

We have too live under a constant awareness of those who don't want to work for their daily bread but take it from others that work hard for what little they have. So if you fall into the taker catagory get help and try another life. You are called to be a part of the elected.
