....Where two or more…
Where two or more…that is when I, the "soul man", agree to be ruled by the Spirit of the Father who is no one less than the Mind of Christ, the Holy Ghost, there are two gathered together. When these two agree as to touching anything.... there will be Peace in Jerusalem. When Peace rules in Jerusalem we have obeyed the command to go first to Jerusalem and since obedience is better than sacrifice… oh boy! With proper rulership established in Jerusalem we then see Judea ministered to and coming into order without our striving and who knows what the Samaritans will see. Jesus set the order to occur as first to Jerusalem then to all Judea and in Samaria then to the uttermost part of the earth. When this is observed we can trust His Holy Ghost to do exceedingly and abundantly even to the gentiles who live in the uttermost. We shall be witnesses unto Him within ourselves and give Him praise and worship. We will be conformed to the likeness of the Son and all of us ruled by the Spirit will walk in agreement as the Judeans of God. Samaritans who live & walk in close proximity to Judeans will know we are different lay down the nets and follow Him.

I’ve been thinking about the body lately…….
Who knows how to touch you better than you do? Who knows where it itches? Who knows where it hurts? Who knows better than you where to touch yourself to make you feel good?
Here are some of the thoughts that have recently come to mind.
I clean between my toes and notice my toenails are long. I remember too that my socks have gotten holes in them and put one-and-one together and clip my nails so I can enjoy socks without holes for a while longer. While bent over to check my socks I had to labor because my belly was protruding and it occurred to me that I must lose some weight if I intended to keep on clipping my toenails. I stood up and went to the mirror and having made sure no one was looking I embarrassingly lifted my shirt to reveal my belly and remembered I had not checked my belly button for lint recently and sure enough I needed a cleaning. Since I was on this great adventure I undertook to inspect my ears and nose for hair and even on the top of my nose were some hairs that needed extracting. Grooming alone was demanding so much of my attention and whether I liked it or not it seemed as though it was instinct I could not avoid, to avoid these functions would be unnatural and have serious social consequences.
Next thing you know I was in the shower and used a special shampoo for my hair and not wanting to violate any standards decided to follow the instructions and shampoo twice almost like a religious ritual. This all preceded the anointing of my hair with the most exquisite smelling conditioner that made me smell special. I haven’t graduated to liquid soap yet and so I reached for a bar of soap and with that bar of soap proceeded to carefully wash every crack and crevice on my body. I was careful not to get too intimate with myself but I do have to touch everything to wash everything. I felt a lump the size of a golf ball in my right rear cheek, we do have two front cheeks too you know, but decided to ignore it again because the VA told me back in 1989 that it was just a lump of fat. Once in a while though I do like to touch it just to see if it is still there.
Perhaps you’re getting the picture by now. We are intimate with our bodies. We were made this way.
A year or so ago I had to have ingrown toenails taken care of at the doctors office and just down the road at another doctors office I had a probe made by Sony inserted in an orifice giving me a view of myself I had never seen before. On occasion I get blood spots on the toilet paper and hope it will just go away.
People pay a lot of attention to the body and this goes for everyone on earth. There are many more aspects that we could mention, ways we minister to ourselves, to our bodies.
Many by now have said, “man this guy is gross” or “I never touch myself like that” or “we should not talk about these private matters in public” but I want to continue the dialog anyway. Yes, this is a dialog and not a monolog because it is intended that this metaphor of the individual body be seen as one body but many parts. These many parts all interacting together in agreement, in one accord and with one intention.
There are many doctrines and ideas cooked up to account for the increase of evil and the spread of unrighteousness in the earth when the Word of God is clear about the increase of His government and not of evil. I want to ask a question; is God’s word the truth and our experience the lie?
We may say no to intimacy but it is God’s way for the body. Bear one another’s burdens and thus fulfil the law of Christ! How can we do it with out knowing each other? Is the body weak because satan is triumphant or is it because the body is not discerning itself and healing itself in Jesus’ name? How can I pray for you effectively when I don’t know you?
Touching the body seems so undignified and so we refuse to but until we touch the body like we know it things will remain the same. We have been revived and now we need the reformation of our minds so we can see that when we touch the body of Christ like He commanded and equipped us to the body will be made whole and accomplish all it is intended to. Christ in us is the hope of glory for the earth. When are we going to learn to touch the body like we know it, touch it like we love it, touch it and care for it just like we care for and pamper our own fleshly bodies? When we do we will be as effective in the earth as the Father intended the body of His Son to be. The hope of the world is Christ in us completed once and for all! One new man in the earth, Hallelujah!

Dr. A. T. Robertson used to say
Dr. A. T. Robertson used to say to his classes,
“The Greek New Testament has a message for each mind.
Some of the truth in it has never yet been seen by anyone else.
It is like a virgin forest, waiting there to be explored.
‘Let us go up at once, and possess it’.”

Sinners Anonymous
Twelve Steps Of Recovery
1. We admitted we were powerless over sin and death and that our lives had become unmanageable. 2 Chronicles 25:8b, Deut. 24:16, Isaiah 59:2, Jeremiah 31:30, Romans 3:23
2. Came to believe that God in Christ could restore us to sanity through His Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 28:16, Romans 9:33, Romans 10: 11
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, to help us to rebuild our lives according to the Word of God. Matthew 17: 11-13, Luke 15:18
4. Made a searching and fearless personal inventory of ourselves.
Proverbs 20:27, I Corinthians 2: 10-12, I John 4:18
5. Admitted to our God, to ourselves, and to another human being, the exact nature of our liabilities and our assets. James 5:16, I John 1:9
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all our liabilities. Proverbs 16:3, Luke 23:54
7. Humbly asked God to remove these liabilities and to help us to strengthen our assets for the full life. James 1:5, Matthew 7:7
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all. Leviticus 5:16, Exodus 22: 3, 5, 6 & 14
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. Luke 19: 8-10, Exodus 22:1, Numbers 5: 6&7
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when wrong promptly admitted it, while continuing to recognize our progress in sanctification. Acts 2: 42-44
11. Sought through prayer, meditation and study of the Word to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. Matthew 26:41, II Peter 1: 5-9
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these Steps, we promised to carry this message to others who experience sin and death in their lives and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Luke 4: 18 & 24: 53, Acts 13: 1-4 & 1:8, Mark 16: 20, Matthew 28: 19&20

Can Grace be see in me?
as taught by Jesus and my father Charles Francis
modeled by my mother Mary Elizabeth
Participate in your own recovery!
Many, instead of saying, “pray for me” should first say,
“teach me God’s Word so that I can intelligently participate in my own recovery”. *
We must know what the benefits of Calvary are before we can appropriate them by faith.

How can you defend someone you know is guilty?
A defense lawyer's belief in a client's guilt or innocence is totally irrelevant. That determination is the job of the judge or jury under our adversarial system of justice. Every person charged by the government is entitled to zealous representation, something that may not seem important to some people until someone from their family is charged with a crime. Additionally, our job is every bit as much making sure that the Government doesn't over charge or over punish a guilty client as it is to see that it doesn't convict an innocent one. We believe that criminal defense lawyers are really constitutional defense lawyers; we are the last line of defense between the individual rights and liberty of all citizens and the often misguided, overzealous exercise of untold power by our government.
If it weren't for criminal defense attorneys tirelessly challenging the power of the government to intrude into individuals' lives, no one would be safe from unreasonable government intrusion.

Unconscious Unreality
The deadliest Pharisaism today is not hypocrisy
but unconscious unreality.

The deadliest attitude of the Pharisees that we exhibit today is not hypocrisy
