2 Corinthians 6:

11 O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. 

12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. 

13 Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you must also be open.

One of the key strategies of the Prince of the World is to force people, including

believers, into a closed off life from others, and in so doing the full anointing of Christ.

Hurt, shame, bitterness, resentment, all the things that life throws at us are at the 

disposal of the enemy to isolate yourself from the body of Christ, and close off

your heart, which will atrophy. A hardened heart can neither receive from above,

or shed abroad the Love of God by the Holy Spirit. In order for Paul's admonition

here to be effective, we must do a regular heart checkup. Have you been hurt recently?

Suffered a loss that has left you feeling lonely and isolated? So many things can

damage the heart! We must be sensitive to the needs of those around us, and be

open to sharing with others our burdens. The exhortation for today is "let your heart be open".

Trust God to bring the right people into your life, to minister and be ministered.

Hebrews 6:

9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation,

though we speak in this manner. 

10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, 

in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 

11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 

12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Worthy Note: If you are struggling with any or similar issues mentioned in the OP

please contact the Worthy Prayer Team right away for intercessions.

Of course, there is no substitute for your local church body. Unfortunately,

often the ones who caused the issue are within that church and people think,

how can I go to the people who caused me so much injury in the first place?

Know this, the Lord will use you to not only restore your heart, but heal your

local body. The worst thing one can do is abandon the place where the Lord set

you, and much prayer must proceed that decision. Let the Lord lead you to a 

place of reconciliation. If that cannot be accomplished there, the Lord will let

you know. Always give Him the opportunity to turn things around for good!

I have found hurt by others & unforgiveness from ourselves are two of the quickest weapons the enemy uses against us.

TRUTH; our affections are our most bitter and hardest to overcome flaws, faults, sins ect, but they too must be brought under SUBJECTION to the Spirit, so he may bring us into SUBMISSION to God.

A tree is ALWAYS identifiable by it's fruit. Just as Jesus cursed the fig tree for NOT bearing, so too will this be the curse of many a self-righteous person.

Set your affections on things above is not so easy as the words used to say such. Daily examination is a must as well as reconciliation.

 

May we ALL come to the place where we can lay aside the sin / sins that SO EASILY beset us !

Gr8 thoughts.

We need way more of the word to be used in edification than in correction IMO.

You can correct until you are BLUE in the face & FAINT of heart but as the old saying goes......you CAN lead a horse to water but ya can't make him drink.

Jesus rebuked this thought by saying " Ye are the salt of the earth".....

LETS MAKE ' EM THIRSTY!!!!!!

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
