Sure Fire

 

 Sure fire you ever hear something called a sure fire cure for something, was it? How often are sure fire cures really cures? Remember Aha, yes, that's right, remember; that those things that are often called surefire turn out to be fires that had water poured on them. 

And one of the things that if we have described as working at, in remembering is remembering with a purpose, remembering with some subtlety and some nuance to it, because we control the memory process, we control what we remember and how we remember it, we control the things that we choose to make significant. And sure fire cures I'm pretty much sure  are guaranteed not to work, aren't they? 

So as you're recounting your walk with Jesus, and you're recounting the things that you're remembering recount to things, count them again The Times that so-called surefire. Things it didn't work out. And then take a look at the many things that he accomplished in the midst of that. Because one of the most powerful things about if the prophetic ministry of Christ in your life today; is how he can make the truth that he is come to bear relevance in your life. 

Now is that always a good thing is that always a fun thing. Well, it's almost always a good thing. It's almost never a fun thing. Because usually it involves something called thin and usually it involves it's something called confession, and usually involves something called repentance, and none of those uh, turn out to be as much fun as we'd like them to be. So we end up in a process of recertifying our walk with Christ. 

Walking out here as I am in the yard, where we can hear the birds chirping and the power of God and creation all around us, and we recertified that it is Christ. It is as John said, nothing was made, that was made if it wasn't made in Him where everything is founded in Christ without Christ, there is nothing. 

And so we recertify our faith, and that's what you want to do with your disciples is you want to be sure to take them to Jesus. Because actually do any of us have disciples? No; if anybody is learning, why are they learning, they're learning, because Christ provided the learning to take place and ultimately, that's the truth that you want to pass on to those who choose to listen and to have eyes to see and ears to hear.

View on Vocaroo >> Why laugh? 🤣 Heard a short on the joy of the Lord is our strength? Made me remember, that is recount, which in working with learners (disciples), is the time to recertify, which is an old but very true Newspaper writer saying: "Tell them, then tell them what you told them, then tell them once more memorably." Huh? How do you make a three time repeat interesting? Remember your first...? 🤣 In my pretty boring, unexciting, calm life; I've been fired lots of times. Sometimes it was on me, sometimes, it was on them- now, watch this one- it's gonna getcha, sometimes it was on God. Ooh that'll make some folk getonup😆But watch this:  Jhn 9:1  -  And   as   Jesus   passed by,   he saw   a man   which was blind   from   his   birth. Tools Jhn 9:2  -  And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, th...

View on Vocaroo >> Tasty, is a lovely word, sounds near sweet? Tenderloin is one of our favorite meats, as a meal we eat it with Rice-a-Roni or just rice; usually I try to make some gravy to go with the rice, and we have a vegetable. There is almost always some left over meat that I refrigerate in it's juice. A day or two later put that into a pan, as the frozen meat and juice heats up it fills the pan- then I'll add barbeque sauce to that and it boils down to the point the tenderloin falls apart and it's now pulled pork bbq for a marvelous sandwich. Tasty, it really, is. When Holy Spirit drew you from hell, usually by bringing you to your senses, of how messed up you were? When Holy Spirit does that, you are like a cooked meal that's been set aside in the refrigerator- you are preserved, but your function is stopped. Before, you were a meal, now, your just preserved. Holy Spirit gets hold of you, now you may feel some heat, you will be changing- becoming what ...

View on Vocaroo >> There are so many memories to your Christ experience. Remembering is in a very unsalted way, forming your story of what Christ has done. Get who, what, when, where and possibly why or how, together so it makes sense. Now we season... Dana you mix metaphors a bunch, we're writing, your using a cooking analogy? Ah you caught me...throwin Jalapenoes instead of pepper...and I'm in great company, the gospel is loaded with things that are like other things, the Bible has tons of metaphor...oops, that's a pun, huh? A coin, in a fishes mouth? To pay taxes? For both of them? See any metaphor there? Miracle aside, Peter a now fisher of men? Jesus now proving his earthly existence- ooh, here's one for history buffs, did the takers of taxes keep records? (Matt 17:27) What miracle, other than new birth, eating food that turns into energy, bones? Water rather than air? Both have Oxygen one way it's wet, the other we breathe, now can you begin to glimps...
