NEW WINDOWS

It takes the revelation power of the Holy Spirit to demolish and remove the glass windows of our prejudices, bias, racism and stereotypes. These are the windows that filter our veiw of other people. It's not enough that the glass of these windows be broken, every piece of glass must be removed and then replaced. Not even the tiniest shard of glass can be allowed to remain; for the tiniest piece has the potential to poison the minds of many generations. Once removed, the Holy Spirit can then replace the old window with the "New Window" the mind of Christ. We will then be able to view others through the heart of God.

TRAINING EXERCISE - HUMILITY

Stop Defending Yourself?
The Lord showed me a good way to develop humility.
He told me to stop defending myself when wrongly, or rightly accused, and when I was offended by someone, (especially by someone who is close to me)
This is our opportunity to increase our strenght by becoming weak and gentle. We get elevated by getting lowly.
I found myself eventually no longer feeling hurt or being overwhelmed by the compulsion to counterattack.
It didn't happen overnight,  but it did happen.
By practicing this, we choke out the flesh and its pathetic ego, rendering them powerless.
1 Peter 4:12-13 NIV
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
Not for the faint of heart I know, but if you dare to assault your flesh in this manner, you will never be the same.
That's a promise!
In myself nothing, in Christ everything!
Grace & Peace
