The Spirit is leading... Who will follow?

I believe God is allowing the old wineskins to burst.   We His children need to be willing to accept new wine skins, so that He can pour the new wine of His Holy Spirit into us. If we insist on holding onto the old doctrine it will stifle the move of the Holy Spirit, and we will burst and not be a vessel that can hold what is coming. It is a new wine, a different smell, taste and look from the old. And it's coming!!! Who will follow? Come Holy Spirit fill us with your new wine and those that burst so be it, I will not shut out your newness of life and revelation. Pour into me oh God, fill me, give to me, your servant and friend everything you have to give. I receive it all. Give me wisdom to impart to others in a manner they too can receive. I love you oh God my God. You are my strength, my deliverer, my fortress and mighty hand, always present never failing  and always victorious! Thank you Father-Remind me it is a childlike heart that allows and draws your Spirit. I choose t

Brick Wall...Is it there to stop me?

Have you ever had such a burden in your heart for someone that watching their pain made you feel so helpless?  I have had close relationships. Many in which my heart is burdened. Their pain causes me to hurt and I try my best to help them understand that joy and peace can be theirs. They don't have to continue struggling on a road that just goes around and around in a circle, with no focal point, or destination. I've shared  stories  with them how my God has helped and provided.

In Bill Johnson's book "Dreaming with God" he says something that caught my attention on this very subject. And I quote "The Holy Spirit knows what truth to breath on according to the particular season of our life." End quote. WOW! Maybe I want this person to fall in line so I don't have to worry about them anymore

Anger, Resentment, Unforgiveness, It Burns!

Anger Resentment Unforgiveness It Burns I wonder how different the outcome, had Daniel chosen to be angry and fearful in the midst of this betrayal.  It's obvious King Darius had respect for and esteemed Daniel. Daniel 6:1-3 , Let's pick up the story here... v. 1-3 "It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom; one hundred satraps,(I would liken them to mayors) to be over the whole kingdom; and over these, three governors, of whom Daniel was one, that the satraps might give account to them, so that the king would suffer no loss. Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm. " So here we have Daniel receiving a promotion and the next thing that happens is the others become hot with envy and try to look for a way to take him out. How many times an envious spirit has come over me and caused havoc in relationships, producing so much dis
