Overheard

I am resting today on my easy chair. I turned on the TV and heard some teaching as I rested. Perhaps you would like to hear it as well?

The arrow that flies by noonday-Ps.91:5-comes at a time when your life is successful and you are being elevated. The psalmist says that we will not be afraid of those arrows.

Hosea means salvation.
Gomer means Beloved.
When Gomer was behaving badly,
Hosea still called her Beloved.

Those who come from an alcoholic home are often addicted to drama.
Drama (addiction to crisis) is an assassin meant to rob you of life.

To overcome, we need the blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony, The Word of God, and prayer intercessors around us.
We need Secret Service friends to protect us for where we are blind.
We cannot see everything at once.
We need good people around us who are watching out for us.
(And those who are willing to love us enough to risk pointing out our blind spots and help us to see.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't tell all of your business to everybody.
Mature people are transparent to those who are trustworthy
and discreet with those who are not.
Be careful with whom you are in covenant with.

The church is made up of broken people who Christ is putting back together.
Although we are dysfunctional, He makes us functional, restored, and recovered in life. We are not meant to remain dysfunctional.
