Hosea =
4:6 My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge 

last night at Valley View Christian Church I had the privilege to teach at the men’s Bible study! What a=
n AWESOME time! the guys wanted to keep going and so did I!!!! Such a stron=
g presence of the Holy Spirit!

We ta=
lked about leaving behind a Godly legacy! Mark Twain said, “Live =
your life so that at your funeral even the undertaker cries!”  
=

We ta=
lked about bearing fruit for our Lord, letting our light shine for Him!

If yo=
u are Christ’s disciple, you show it by bearing fruit for Him. Wh=
at fruit are you producing? This is a natural result of you following Jesus=
Christ. You do not do it in your own strength  You allow the Hol=
y Spirit to EMPOWER you for the task of bearing fruit for Jesus! It is not&=
nbsp;forced  what are you forcing yourself to do right now  =
pay your taxes? Your Late LOL LOL! Go to work? Go to Church? Love=
your Wife? I need to mention here I love my wife so much! It is awful=
to force yourself to do things! My testimony to you folks and the guys&nbs=
p;last night is that when you are FILLED with the HOLY SPIRIT it is li=
ke you are walking on air, it is like you are walking along with Jesus and =
you don’t turn the the left or the right, you keep walking straig=
ht ahead with Jesus Christ. That is why I use the term very often, we are h=
ere to help you in your daily walk with Jesus Christ. Once you are filled w=
ith the HOLY SPIRIT you will bring forth much fruit for Jesus Christ! AMEN!=
When you start to turn to the right or the left, the Holy Spirit will prom=
pt you to get back on track! Temptation and the flesh will bite at you each=
day! You must be filled with the HOLY SPIRIT! Are you FILLED UP with the H=
OLY SPIRIT MY FRIEND???  Your life will reach greater h=
eights than you ever dreamed!!!!!!!! If you want more teaching on this=
just email me. It is such a wonderful thing to be filled with the Holy Spi=
rit, there is nothing like it. It keeps you out of trouble, =
out of depression, out of the sick bed of anxiety!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pleas=
e take time today to read John 15, I am the True vine

Yeste=
rday I got this email from Kay in Indiana, a long time friend in =
our Lord. Read her note and the devotional from Breakpoint attached……..=
..

Hi Dewey ~

In viewing the many photos of the bomb scene at the Boston Marathon, I noti=
ced all the people in motion – running away from the blasts or running towa=
rd the injured.  The thoughtful response to this tragedy printed below=
confronted me with my own typical response to situations =
which are not as they ought to be…

Do I run away to save myself…..run toward the problem to see how I can he=
lp…..or sit on the sidelines and comment about what everyone else is doin=
g?

Holy Spirit, You have some serious work to do in me…

Running Toward Chaos

Making the Invisible Kingdom Visible

Eric Metaxas

April 18, 2013

Scarcely a day goes by without yet another reminder of the ancient Roman ph=
rase, Homo homini lupus est: man is a wolf to his fellow man. The terrible =
bombing at the finish line of the Boston Marathon=E2=80=94which, at the tim=
e of this recording, killed three people, including an eight-year-old boy, =
and injured at least 140 others=E2=80=94is just the latest graphic piece of=
evidence.

And the bombing is also further proof=E2=80=94as if we needed more=E2=80=94=
of what Christian writer Ed Stetzer calls =E2=80=9Cthe brokenness in our fa=
llen world.=E2=80=9D

Yet Christians know that this is, at best, an incomplete depiction of man. =
Fallen men are capable of incredible=E2=80=94or, perhaps, all-too-credible=
=E2=80=94cruelty towards each other. But even in our fallen state, we are c=
apable of just the opposite: overcoming evil with good.

As one of my colleagues pointed out, one of the most striking and certainly=
the most moving images coming out of Boston was of people rushing forward =
toward the sites of the explosions to help the injured.

The=
Archbishop of Boston, Sean O=E2=80=99Malley, spoke for many of us when he =
said that =E2=80=9Cthe citizens of the City of Boston and the Commonwealth =
of Massachusetts are blessed by the bravery and heroism of many, particular=
ly the men and women of the police and fire departments and emergency servi=
ces who responded within momentsof these tragic events.=E2=80=9D

But it wasn=E2=80=99t only those in uniform. Carlos Arredondo, a peace acti=
vist whose son was killed in Iraq, became a national hero when he jumped ov=
er the security fence and started helping the injured. And he wasn=E2=80=99=
t the only civilian who ran towards the chaos when common sense dictated ru=
nning away from it.

Watching the coverage, another colleague was not only inspired by the actio=
ns of those who rushed to the aid of the injured but also saw in their acti=
ons a metaphor of what it means to be the Church in a broken and fallen wor=
ld.

As Ed Stetzer wrote, =E2=80=9Cit=E2=80=99s not enough for Chr=
istians merely to recognize that the world isn=E2=80=99t what it ought to b=
e and that people are suffering in ways they shouldn=E2=80=99t have to suff=
er.=E2=80=9D Instead, our =E2=80=9Csorrow and indignation=E2=80=9D should p=
rompt us to act in ways that =E2=80=9Csubvert=E2=80=9D that brokenness.

Our task is to =E2=80=9Cwork to make this world more as God would inte=
nd it to be=E2=80=94with justice, peace, and more.=E2=80=9D Or as Chuck Col=
son used to put it,” our task is to make the invisible Kingdom visibl”e.

Chuck loved to tell the story of how, when the great plagues struck ancient=
Rome and the doctors fled the city, Christians stayed behind and cared for=
the sick, even though as a result some contracted the plague themselves an=
d died. They saw this as part of what it meant to be God=E2=80=99s people i=
n a suffering world. As a result of their witness, many pagans became Chris=
tians because they saw in this sacrificial love something that paganism cou=
ld not offer.

That =E2=80=9Csomething=E2=80=9D was the invisible Kingdom now made visible=
.

Think of Mother Theresa. While other people abandoned the sick and dying of=
Calcutta, she embraced them. In doing so, she and her Missionaries of Char=
ity made the invisible Kingdom visible one dying person at a time.

Every time Prison Fellowship volunteers reach out to a different kind of pa=
riah=E2=80=94prisoners=E2=80=94they announce that this world=E2=80=99s brok=
enness is not final. God is at work setting things right.

One day, because of the resurrection of Jesus, it will all be set right. Bu=
t for now, we keep running toward the chaos making visible to the world the=
invisible Kingdom of God that will one day fill the whole earth.

AWESOME WORDS!

in 
Bakersfield California and you were under the =
rule that you could not give CPR to residents and a lady fell bef=
ore your eye’s having a heart attack? The employees did not give =
the victim CPR and she died! What would you have done? They can fire me, I =
would of course give CPR! I don’t think Jesus would want us to st=
and by and watch someone die!!!

The Carp=
enter
    

Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on a=
djoining farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious rift in 40 year=
s of farming side-by-side, sharing machinery and trading labor and goods as=
needed without a hitch.

Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstand=
ing and it grew into a major difference and finally, it exploded int=
o an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence. 

One morning there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man wi=
th a carpenter’s toolbox. “I ‘m looking for a few days’ work,” he said. “Pe=
rhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with? Cou=
ld I help you?”

“Yes,” said the older brother. “I do have a job for you. Look across the cr=
eek at that farm. That’s my neighbor. In fact, it’s my younger brother! Las=
t week there was a meadow between us. He recently took his bulldozer to the=
river levee and now there is a creek between us.  Well, he may have d=
one this to spite me, but I’ll do him one better. See that pile of lumber b=
y the barn? I want you to build me a fence an 8-foot fence — so I won’t ne=
ed to see his place or his face anymore.” 

The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails =
and the post-hole digger and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”

The older brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter get the mat=
erials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all=
that day — measuring, sawing and nailing. About sunset when the farmer re=
turned, the carpenter had just finished his job. 

The farmer’s eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at=
all.
 =

It was a bridge … A bridge=
that stretched from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of wo=
rk, handrails and all! And the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming to=
ward them, his hand outstretched.”You are quite a fellow to build=
this bridge after all I’ve said and done.” The two brothers=
stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in middle, taking each =
other’s hand. They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox onto his s=
houlder.”No, wait! Stay a few days. I’ve a lot of other projects =
for you,” said the older brother. “I’d love to stay on,” the carp=
enter said, “but I have many more bridges to build.”

Remember This

   

God won’t ask what kind of car you drove, but He’ll=
ask how many people you helped get where they needed to go.  

God won’t ask the square footage of your house, but He’ll ask how many peop=
le you welcomed into your home.  

God won’t ask about the clothes you had in your closet, but He’ll ask how m=
any you helped to clothe.  

God won’t ask how many friends you had, but He’ll ask how many people to wh=
om you were a friend.  

God won’t ask in what neighborhood you lived, but He’ll ask how you treated=
your neighbors.  

God won’t ask about the color of your skin, but He’ll ask about the content=
of your character. 

God won’t ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation, but He’ll  lo=
vingly take you to your mansion in Heaven, and not to the gates of hell.&nb=
sp;

April 19, 2013. Something good is about to happen to you. While you were not awar=
e, the Lord was making His plans to pour out specific blessings for you. On=
e blessing may surprise you. It is something you have counted on happening =
that will not occur as you thought. God is protecting you at this point fro=
m something that could bring disappointment and sustained frustration. This=
is a time to keep your eyes on Jesus. He is your source for wisdom and pea=
ce. He brings heavenly gifts to bless people. Ask and receive.
