joel osteen: God as Father

---be blessed---c

the word spoken and the spirit

It has been a while, but I've been through a lot. I have been watching a lot of Christian TV and have been impressed with this: It is The Word spoken and the Spirit that accomplishes. In Genesis God spoke the Word (Jesus) and the Spirit moved to accomplish it. We are formed in the image of God, to be like God. We must speak the Word and believe that the Sprit will accomplish what we speak. God did not doubt that when He said "let there be light" that light was going to show up. He knew that the Word would be accomplished by His Spirit. We have to be right there. So filled with the Father's Love for us that we KNOW--we speak Jesus and Holy Spirit will accomplish it. I would like to recommend God TV. Mark Stibbe was on the latest "I want More Conference" and he was awesome. I just received another dose of The Love of The Father.---be blessed---c

if i had only known

If I had known what I know now, how different I would (maybe) have trained my children. When you grasp the true width and depth and height of God's love---I don't think that I would ever tell my child---you do this or I'm gonna... I don't think I can say this ever again because of the Revelation of The Father's Love. I can give credit to my wife (Brenda) and her mother Emma, her husband and our Pastor Wayne---Jack and Trisha Frost, Roger Gossnell--Andrew Wommack, Joyce Meyers, and right now I know that Joseph Prince is preaching THE GOSPEL of CHRIST JESUS! They all contributed to my Revelation, but It really just came to me when I asked for It.

If you spit on that bush---I'm gonna whip you good. Step around the corner and watch. That child will spit on that bush---even if he has to work up the spit! Maybe if I had said, "you know what? That bush right there does not grow as pretty if you spit on it." Step around the corner and watch. The child will not spit on the bush.

That is the reason for the New Covenant of Grace. It's His Love and our Faith in that Love that overcomes!---be blessed---c NO regrets--I am right where I need to be

PS: I got three really great kids!
