BIBLICAL RHETORIC VS BIBLICAL TRUTH

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I've always believed that the sounding brass and the tinkling cymbals of biblical rhetoric feed our senses while biblical truth feeds our spirit. Eventually the choir, the charismatic preacher, the crowd, and the sweet sound of those who speak with the tongues of men and of angels will feed those who are satisfied with just milk for the moment, while the Rhema Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever feeds with the meat that would satisfy for a lifetime. In other words, they came to feed and needed no music. I say, let the preacher give his people food, and they will flock around him, even if the sounding brass of rhetoric and the tinkling cymbals of oratory are silent. No human explanation or interpretation of God’s Word should be elevated to the same authority as the text itself. The choir, the charismatic preacher, the crowd, and the sweet sound of those who speak with the tongues of men and of angels can never truly give us faith as you and I know, without faith it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6) and faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Therefore we must realize that there surely is a difference between biblical rhetoric and biblical truth.

Birthdays!

This is the day that the Creator chose for you to come to this earth and grace us with your presence.

If you weren't here, it would not feel right. Something would be missing. You!

Make your birthdays about 'the celebration of self'.

Do only the things that you truly want to do.

Sleep in or get up early, whatever you want.

Eat only the things you want. Savour each bite! Enhale the lushious smell of something loved and appreciated! Close your eyes often! Delight in your senses being saturated by the foods you love! Push all thoughts of guilt and judgement out of your mind. Enjoy!

Be around others or be alone. Either way - celebrate. If you are going to be with others, let them know that it's your birthday. Maybe throw yourself a party.

On this day, be the one standing in your corner with the poms-poms cheering yourself on.

Sing your praises. All day long remind yourself just how wonderful you are.

Treat yourself like you would your best friend.

If you have a sweet tooth, maybe some bonbons are in order. Whatever it is you love, give it freely to yourself today.

Remember the relationship you have with yourself is reflective of all other relationships. If you seek love and happiness - give it to yourself. Walk in gratitude and appreciation of yourself.

Chances are if you can't give yourself one day a year of guilt free self indulgence and celebration, you aren't very happy. Who could be happy with someone who treats them like that? It all starts with you.

Take the time to write a list of all the things you have accomplished since your last birthday. Write of anything, big or small that has enhanced the quality of your life. Do not entertain thoughts of anything that didn't work out or that is still unfinished. This is the day of celebration of your success!

Happy, happy, happy birthday!

Thoughts to Live By

Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

Marry a person you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

When you say, “I love you,” mean it.

When you say, “I’m sorry,” look the person in the eye.

Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

Believe in love at first sight.

Never laugh at anyone’s dreams. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much.

Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it’s the only way to live life completely.

In disagreements, fight fairly. No name-calling.

Don’t judge people by their relatives.

Talk slowly but think quickly.

When someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer smile and ask, “Why do you want to know?”.

Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

Say, “Bless you” when you hear someone sneezes.

When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.

Remember the three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others and Responsibility for all your actions.

Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.

Spend some time alone.

Letter from the Creator

This is the Creator,

Today I will be handling all of your problems for you. I do not need your help. So, have a nice day. I love you.

Remember...If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it yourself !! Kindly put it in the SFTCTD (something for the Creator to do) box. I will get to it in 'my time'. All situations will be resolved.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

Now have a nice day, the Creator.

SPIRITUAL VITAMINS

We work hard to keep our outward appearance attractive, but what is in our hearts is even more important. The way we are deep down (where others can’t see) matters much to God. What are you like inside? When people become Christians, God makes them different on the inside. He will continue the process of change inside them if they only ask. God wants us to seek healthy thoughts and motives, not just healthy food and exercise.

Who is Elder Dre? (My Confessions)

I represent the One Whose Name is, "I Am the Lord Who heals." (Exodus 15:26)

God sends me with His Word and heals people, and delivers them from destruction. (Psalm 107:20)

Death and life are in the power of my tongue. (Proverbs 18:21)

Surely Jesus has borne all people's sicknesses and carried all people's pains. He was wounded for all people's transgressions, He was bruised for all people's iniquities, the chastisement for all people's peace was upon Him, and by His stripes all people are healed. (Isaiah 53:4,5)

As I go about, I teach the Word of God, preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, and heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. (Matthew 4:23)

Jesus already took all people's infirmities and bare all people's sicknesses away. (Matthew 8:17)

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. He gave me power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. As I go, I preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' I heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons. Freely I have received, so I freely give. (Matthew 10:1,7-8)

He who receives me receives Jesus, and he who receives Jesus receives God. (Matthew 10:40)

I am a believer. All things are possible to me. (Mark 9:23)

And these signs follow me because I believe: In Jesus' name I cast out demons; I speak with new tongues; I remove serpents; and if I drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt me; I lay hands on the sick, and they recover. (Mark 16:17-18)

Everywhere I go the Lord is working with me, confirming His Word that I speak, through the accompanying signs. Amen. (Mark 16:20)

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord." (Luke 4:18-19)

With authority and power I command the unclean spirits, and they come out. (Luke 4:36)

As I am teaching, the power of the Lord is present to heal people. (Luke 5:17)

And my speech and my preaching are not just with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that people's faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:4-5)

Not that I am sufficient of myself to think of anything as being from myself, but my sufficiency is from God, Who also made me sufficient as a minister of the New Covenant. (2 Corinthians 3:5-6)

For I do not preach myself, but Christ Jesus the Lord. (2 Corinthians 4:5)

I'm not moved by what I feel. I'm not moved by what I see. For I "walk by faith, not by sight." (2 Corinthians 5:7) I'm moved only by what I believe. I believe the Word of God.
