DOVES

As I searched on line for the programme schedule of a Christian t.v. station on the internet I noticed a critical blog by a former supporter of the channel.  The man went to great lengths regarding his disapproval of the latest additions and schedules whilst saluting the genuinely sincere intentions of the founders, nevertheless he had decided they were to lose his support.

His comments regarding Israel were somewhat strange.    On the occasions I had visited the site I found reporting on the Middle East honest and balanced.  The Barry Segal programme on the land of Israel and the customs of the Jewish people is informative and at times amusing.

Presuming the complainant is a Christian himself, does he not understand the God of the bible is the God of the Jewish people and Yeshua is our Hebrew Lord and Saviour.   Yes,  Jesus was a Jew and  Christian gentiles are grafted into the vine.    The Messiah is coming back to His land, His people.  

In the U.K. OFCOM have ensured Christian broadcasts are in every way bland, inoffensive to all and toothless.    They very quickly arrive on the scene telling the organisation concerned  "you can't say that" thereby totally disarming the concept of freedom of speech, which is very convenient for the "new wave, replacement theology, prosperity teachers,  God's Word watered down and blurred at the edges.

2 Timothy 4 - 3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they heap up for themselves teachers.

With the exception of the excellent teaching by Jacob Prasch, the late Dwight Pryor, David Hocking, Dave Hunt and David Wilkerson I prefer to seek solace and Holy Spirit guidance reading my bible,  steering well clear of the white suited perfectly manicured celebrities with Lear Jet and Rolex watch, and the numerous authors who sell their exalted opinions on what God actually meant by this and that.

T.V. celebrities of some channels seemingly rake in millions with the encouragement you can become an angel or plant a tree in Israel!   The certificate arrived but I doubt I will ever find my tree in Israel.   In fact I have to take their word for any planting.      So perhaps I could be forgiven for not wanting to read this man's very lengthy article nit picking Revelation T.V.    Facebook and the media are awash with self appointed prophetesses and experts and I seriously doubt some would know their Messiah if they fell over him.      

As I studied various texts in my bible the words would catch my attention and speak into my life.
I highlight a passage thinking YES!!!!     Strangely when this text was used and preached by true men of God it was confirmation and affirmation.    The Father leads His children around the globe and His Holy Spirit will bring enlightenment to any soul sincerely struggling to understand WHY.

Time to call in the Lollards.     In total obedience to Matthew 10  they went two by two in long red robes, staff in hand.    Having freely received they freely preached the gospel to the people.  

Fortunately I keep a daily journal as I don't have a photographic brain and as someone quoted amusingly  "life is like toilet paper, when it is getting near the end of the roll it goes fast.   I was searching for the date of a dream I had logged which even I had been unable to forget.

In January 2008 I had logged a quote I had either heard or read "Just get ready to lose some friends for where God is taking you they can't go"   I then discovered the entry I was seeking in March 2008.  

Sheds that in past vivid dreams had been filled with every conceivable need stood empty.   I had searched the first two sheds and had somehow reached the conclusion our very survival was threatened.   I instructed a small group of people to burn bits of furniture on a makeshift fire to keep warm, that we would have to mend and make do using whatever we could find and turn the former garden of well tended beds and lawns to growing food as quickly as the season would allow.   Yes it was a fat cow, lean cow dream of what has come to pass for many people since then and continues to this day.  

Recalling my dream to a wealthy atheist relative he scoffed  "it won't affect me"  He clearly viewed my witness with contempt,  but my reply came instantly and spontaneously  "it will if the banks crash"     He rarely passes a comment these days.

Matthew 16 - 17 (study note)  The deity of Christ is a truth known only by divine revelation.
MEANWHILE I STAND IN THE GAP BEFORE GOD - for my little brother.

Some excellent tips were logged in August 2008

The challenge is living in a society contrary to your beliefs.
Your main witness "your Christian life lived - walking the walk"
Keep your eyes on Yeshua.
Don't get diverted or distracted by contrary winds blowing around your family.

BE AS GENTLE AS DOVES.
They can only see straight ahead - wise birds.

It's not what someone did, or said that caused concern
YOU TOOK YOUR EYES OFF YESHUA.

I will always log discovered gems of wisdom,  I am humble enough to know you never stop learning.
I will forever seek the blessing of a spirit of discernment in the minefield of today's witnesses  knowing however well intentioned the evangelists or the promotion by pen or media,  it is only by true personal revelation a soul turns homeward.
