David Parker Leads His Congregation into Two-Way Journaling We need Jesus' supernatural love to minister as He did. by Ben Lunis Blessed Holy Lord Jesus, I know that I need more of Your love so that I can minister as You did on earth and instructed us to do the same and even greater. Ben, everything that I did, I did out of love. I want My followers to do the same. I want them, including you, to spend time in My presence so that I can infuse My love into you and into others. Yes, faith is important - far, far more important is love! When My people learn to walk in My love they can set the captives free, they can heal and restore, they can be a blessing! The kind of love that I want My people to exhibit to others is a supernatural love - My love - infused into them, you! You can’t manufacture it - you just receive it by spending time with Me, in My presence. It is not complicated. Just do it My way - spend time with Me!   View Post Share this: Goodness drawing by Dale Cresap Do you find some people to have an enormous force of will, and an eagerness to impose that will on others? They may succeed, but they also succeed at driving you away. Such mannerisms are oppressive and you run from them with good cause. In like manner are you not attracted to those who are kind and gentle? You know that my power is unlimited, yet it is my goodness that leads you to repentance. It is my will for you to turn from darkness to light. Do you think this method is too gentle for other people? For yourself? Yet in the process I want to draw you to myself rather than driving you away, for this is the same thing as drawing you to the light. Respond to my goodness and turn to me.

David Parker Leads His Congregation into Two-Way Journaling by Mark Virkler I am thrilled to see Pastor David Parker, of Central United Protestent Church, leading his congregation by sharing his own journaling on his website and creating a "Journaling Board" in the church for his congregation to post their messages from the Lord. This is Spirit-anointed leadership as he leads his people into ever greater intimacy with Almighty God! How about we all pray about ways we can stimulate the hearing of God's voice in our friends and families and churches? Another Life-Giving, Life-Changing Discipline! Dear Friends in Christ, Did you know that Journaling is actually “healthy” for you? Check out my article in our July Messenger for the amazing details! As we continue our ONE THING Summer Witness (a summer-long march into the habits of spiritual formation and discipleship growth), July will become our month of Journaling! The Prophet Habakkuk was told by God, “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets” (Habakkuk 2:2). Recording what God says to us is the very heart of journaling! We are challenging the whole church family to put into practice what Dr. Mark Virkler taught us about listening to God. As you come into the Foyer, you’ll notice a huge “Journaling Board” to the right which has been set aside as a creative, interactive, “Listening to God’s Voice” posting station! This is not Central Church’s “Wittenberg Door” for protests and complaints :-) but a wall of PRAYERS and CONVERSATIONS between us and God, and God and us! Please frequent this wall each week – to post a new writing you have done (hand-written or typed; two sentences or 5 pages). Take time to read what others have heard God saying to them. Learn from their encounters with God! Paper, pens and tacs will be made available all month for you to use this board “on-the-spot.” You can ask us to Xerox your journal entry so you don’t have to tear it out or re-write it. As you can see from the picture, I have already pinned my first journal entries (my journey through the gospel of Matthew). All of my writings are available on my new BlogSpot entitled “Hearing From Heaven.” If you go to http://hearingfromheaven.wordpress.com/ you can follow me in my devotional reflections and conversations with God. I look forward to this wall becoming “plastered” with heaven’s conversations! Speak Lord, for your servant is listening! – 1 Samuel 3:9 Praying, Caring, Serving and Sharing...TOGETHER!
