Carrying Other's Burdens

Man looks at the Appearance…

I spent some time with a gal recently who attended church for many years, but in our talk, she admitted she still has trouble understanding the Word. We prayed together, and I came away realizing again… I just can’t presume where someone really is in their heart… because only God Looks at the Heart. God does indeed look at the heart and He has chosen YOU, and this study, and Lina’s teaching, to minister to your gals for this season of your life.

Whatever You Ask in my Name…

Before I met with that gal, I prayed such a simple prayer, but that’s okay… because God wasn’t ministering among us because of a lavishly articulated prayer or fine sounding spiritual argument, He was acting because of our faith in Jesus and what He was doing in her life. In a way, it takes away the pressure…

Carrying others’ burdens…

This is the heavy part of the ministry…. Sometimes all we see is the ashes in their lives. Job’s friends saw ashes too… and health issues, and material loss….and when they didn’t know what to say or do, they said all kinds of wrong things… because their focus was all wrong. It was on themselves, their self righteousness, and on Job and his sins…. Right?

But God set that all straight in Job 40, when God spoke to Job from in a storm and told Job that since he could not figure out the reasons for his suffering…and since Job, himself, was not All Wise, All powerful, Eternal, Great and Perfect, then Job should trust the ONE who is….the Lord God Yahwey, which is the name that implies an intimate relationship with man. (Job 40-41)

And that is the reason it is so important to be in His Word. Because our gals need us to help them trust and BELIEVE in the ONLY ONE who is worth believing in and trusting…. The All Wise, All Powerful, Almighty, Eternal, Great and Perfect GOD and His Son Jesus Christ.
