Summary:
As we absorb the scriptures, worship, and wait on the Lord, we find that this becomes the very preparation in us that creates the armor of God. We are coming with the answer, the gospel of peace, not further conflict. The battle has been won, Satan is a defeated foe.

Summary:
In the body of Christ there are many different expressions and ways of fulfilling God’s will. How are we to know the things that God is speaking to us and not be divided from our brother that is doing something different? We know that we must not use our carnal minds to try and discern what God is speaking, and that it is only by the Spirit of God within us that we can see what He is doing in each person. We all have something to contribute so that His family will be built up and complete.
Show Notes:
We must not use our human brains to try to discern the things of God. It is God’s Spirit within us that reveals the truth of what He is speaking.
When we revert to using our carnal mind, we open ourselves up to deception and division.
Will we lean upon what God has placed within our spirit, or our soul flesh and carnal mind.
If we lean on our mind to figure things out we will always wonder if this is the truth – we will be confused.
When I don’t understand something, I’m simply going to it on the shelf for God to interpret it to my spirit.
Because there are many different expressions and paths in God, we must reach in to His Spirit to understand and love what He is doing in our brother.
What we have to give to the body of Christ is so important – it supplies what the whole body needs.
