100107 Friends of Jesus

Happy 2010 to you all.

Felice Navidad, Prospero Ano y Felicidad

Happy Nativity, Prosperous year with happiness.

We sang this a bit over Christmas (spanish, remember Jose Feliciano!!).

Hope your holiday was good.

We enjoyed plenty of family time, books, dvd s, singing and talks.

If you like worship music, get “Here is Love” by BethelMusic CD+DVD

from Koorong – It is a gem.

I’ve got a blog on the web now so go to :

http://newfriendsofjesus.blogspot.com/

and also make friends with me on facebook,

I’d enjoy that.

I’m now into the world of Twitter (its ok tho, ha he ha),

so search for Boyd McNamara there.

I’ve got more inspiration and great links in those three places.

Do some communicating to me though!

“These people come near to Me with their mouth

And honour me with their lips,

But their hearts are far from me.

Their worship of Me is made up only of rules taught by men.” (Is.29:13)

Compare

“the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth

to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.” (2Chron.16:9)

Below are some relevant quotes I have collected.

Prayers that don't move you, won't move Him. -- Bill Johnson.

After the death of Jesus,

the men’s hands smelled like fish the women’s like anointing. - TF Tenney

Never allow Pharisees to intimidate you from reaching the people

for whom Christ shed his saving blood on the Cross. - Rick Warren

Jason Hamlin prophet and evangelist to Mid East, talks on “loving your enemy”.

I recently (15-11-09) heard Jason, a man of great energy for delivering God’s Word.

Below is what I wanted to put on paper.

He opened up with “shall men give into your bosom” Luke 6:37.

It is not a call to give your tithes or offerings to a work so you can be blessed later.

Its about the result of loving your enemy.

When you are being beaten up by the unsaved (this person is really the one in the hopeless position).

Who needs to show the mercy;

who needs to operate in The Spirit rather than the flesh?

He gave several examples:

He staged one as he is being kicked to the ground by a big burly kickboxer;

another real one - when the side of his car was totalled by a drunken woman driver –

fleshly anger and then sue at law – or say –

“please go home;

God loves you –

God has a plan for your life,

please take heed of it,

Go be blessed”.

Jason did this and later much more was “given into his bosom by men”.

Luke 6:46 …..why say Lord Lord and do not…..

Verses 44 :….. every one is known by their fruit (integrity).

………………Bare fruit by building on the rock (that’s what hearers look like) –

………………it is when, not if the floods come.

Luke 6:37 ….acquit don’t judge; release don’t condemn; forgive don’t begrudge.

Lu 6:27 …….love your enemies, and move into the favour of God.

v32 to 35 …..God is kind to the ungrateful, selfish, unthankful, and the wicked. ……

………..He was that to Me and He wants me to be kind, too.
