Spiritual Hypocrisy By Oswald Chambers

Edition Modern Classic Updated Classic If we aren’t mindful of the way the Spirit of God works in us, we will become spiritual hypocrites. Instead of interceding in prayer when we see another person failing, we’ll turn our discernment into criticism. Be very careful that you don’t act like a hypocrite and try to fix other people before you yourself are right with God. The Holy Spirit isn’t revealed to us through the intellectual workings of our mind, but through the direct penetration of our souls. If we aren’t alert to the source of the revelation—to the fact that it is God, not us—we will become cauldrons of criticism. We’ll forget what Scripture says about our dealings with others: “You should pray and God will give them life.” One of the subtlest burdens God puts on his disciples is this burden of using discernment when it comes to other souls. Why does he reveal certain things about others to us? It isn’t so we’ll criticize them. It’s so we’ll take their burden before God. It’s so we’ll form the mind of Christ regarding them, interceding with him on their behalf. God says he will give them life if we pray in this way. To intercede in prayer isn’t to tell God our opinions or to let him in on the workings of our minds. It’s to stir ourselves up to get at his mind, his thoughts, about the people for whom we intercede. Is Jesus Christ seeing the workings of his soul in us? He can’t—not until we are so identified with him that we strive to know his mind. If we want Jesus to be satisfied with us, we must learn to intercede wholeheartedly on others’ behalf, as he intercedes for us: “Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them” (Hebrews 7:25).

"How To Pray For Nature" by Agnes Sanford

Agnes Sanford believed Christians could pray about natural events including natural disaster concerns like earthquakes.She built her house on the San Andreas fault lines beleiving that while she was living there there would not be another "big" earthquake.Maybe we should be praying about climate change.My pastor used to say we could learn things from Agnes. I heard her speak in Adelaide when I was a new Christian. She did make a lasting impression on me.Frank Lauback was also one of the "Christian Mystics" who taught many good things about prayer.Saduh Sundar Singh was also a Christian man who some of us woukd finf fault with but has much to teach us. These tapes are from the CFO (Camp Farthest Out) movenent founded by Glenn Clarke.

War Against Saints ~ Jessie Penn-Lewis

Testing the Spirits

We are told in the Bible the following. "1 John 4:1-3 On Denying the Incarnation Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. ..." There are people who have exercised a ministry in doing just this in various countries. There are some in Austalia who have worked in this area.Some in America and I woukd guess other countries as well.What do you think it means? I have put a link below to an audiotape on the internet by the late Stan Motherwell. I have a copy of this and first heard it many years ago.There have been many extremes in the Charismatic and Pentecostal movement.This is a message by Stan challenging the movement as it was gaining much momentum in the 1970's.I have not been involevd in this ministry.This shoukd be listened too with discretion and discernment. In talking to my minister who alerted me to this practice he advised that usually those who agreed to this test discovered the spirit giving their tongue was not from God. These people were Christians who had been deceived. https://promiseboxaudio.com/stan-motherwell-the-movement-of-gifts/

Is Your Hope in God Faint and Dying? By Oswald Chambers

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. — Isaiah 26:3 (kjv) Is your imagination stayed on God, or is it starved? A starved imagination is one of the greatest sources of exhaustion in a disciple’s life. To attain the perfect peace Isaiah describes, we must set our minds steadfastly on God, trusting entirely in him. If you have never used your imagination to put yourself deliberately before God, begin to do it now. It is no use waiting for God to come to you: you must go to him, turning your gaze away from the faces of idols. Imagination is the greatest gift God has given us, and it ought to be devoted entirely to him. If you learn to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, it will be one of the greatest assets to your faith when the time of trial comes, because your faith and the Spirit of God will work together. “We have sinned, even as our ancestors did. . . . They did not remember your many kindnesses” (Psalm 106:6–7). If you find that your mind is not steadfastly set on God, if you cannot remember his kindness and love, drive a stake through the heart of your forgetfulness. Remember whose you are and whom you serve. If you do, your affection for God will increase tenfold, your imagination will be quick and enthusiastic, and your hope will be inexpressibly bright.
