Fourth, study the non-Christian religions more sympathetically to find the good that is within them in order to have a more sympathetic approach to the people.”
Father God, thank You for all of my CF friends. I ask that Your Spirit proceeds them to make all the crooked things straight and the rough areas smooth. I pray that every trap that the enemy would set out for them this day, would backfire on him and work out for their good and for Your glory, in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

The Fountain of Living Water
October 23, 2009
I am the Fountain of Living Water. I flow freely in the direction of My beloved church. I want you to know that this water of life that flows from Me in your direction is life-giving. It will give to the one who will receive it vibrancy in his walk.
I am the Fountain of living water. I flow freely in your direction to bring zest into your life. Do not fail to recognize this gift of love, for in so doing you will grow, you will know a newness of life the world cannot give, and you will be utterly delighted deep within your heart.
I want you to know that a new and spectacular hour is dawning, beloved, a new and spectacular hour when you will walk in accordance with My will in a dynamic way. This flow is speeding up. This flow is speeding up and coming in your direction full force. So get your heart ready to receive all the properties that this dose of wonder will provide. Yes, get your heart ready to receive more of Me!!!
vibrancy – vitality, vivacity, enthusiasm, effervescence, liveliness, joie de vivre
__________________ Psalms 119:99 The Word of God gives me more understanding then all my teachers
I read in 1 Kings 17 about when Elijah showed up in the king's presence and abruptly announced there would not be any rain or dew until he gave the word, not God, but him. The I read in James 5:17-18 how Elijah was a man just like us. Put it together and what do you get?
Elijah was a man of prayer, a man who knew God. He didn't just show up out of nowhere. Seemingly, he did. But all along he was in the wings, fellowshipping with God, and learning His Word. This was all in a culture that was anti-God and in an Israel that was lost in worship to idols. Yet he knew what was written in Deuteronomy 11, that if His people turned from Him and worshiped other gods heaven would be shut up and there would be no rain. Therefore he boldly announced to the king there would be no rain.
There will come a day when people may think you came out of nowhere. They may wonder who you are and how you can be so bold and authoritative. That's because for years you have been abiding in God's Word and hiding it in your heart.
Be bold. Be strong. Know Whom you serve and Whose you are. You will do mighty exploits in His name.
John 14:12 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.

Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee
Proverbs 3:5-6
trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding in all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.
Ephesians 4:23
and be renewed in the spirit of your mind
2 Cor 10:3-5
For thou we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God, to the pulling down of strongholds. Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
Philippians 4:6-7
Be careful (anxious) for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God.
and the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
I Corinthians 2:12
Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God
1 Corinthians 2:14
but the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are Spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:16
For who hath known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Could you all pray and see what God shows you for me
I was going to an on fire, deliverance, prophetic ministry but my wife can't handle it because it is to long and radical
We have been having bible studies in our home of which my sons and their freinds come to and my wife is part of it also, but with very little growth
Should I stick with the home bible study or go back to the on fire church, which nobody wants to have anything to do with
Please let me know what God shows you
Thanks
I think extenuating circumstances like a less than enthusiastic spouse should not even be considered when seeking the will of God on matters like this. Often, when you pare all this distraction away, you already know what God wants you to do. Do not fear this or fear the possible consequences - God is VERY good at changing hearts. Just walk in Love always and don't take offense if changes take a little while.
At the same time, seeing little growth as an extenuating circumstance to seek out more dynamic fellowship falls into the same boat. If God wants you to maintain your house-church, then what you see with your eyes shouldn't amount to a hill of beans. If I had a single empty chair to preach to, I'd still preach to it if that is where God wants me. Walk by faith and not by sight and things will start rocking and rolling. But sometimes it can take a little while - but persevere and be patient.
