Utövande av makt


Beskrivning av innehållet i undervisningen i videoklippet:

Vi kommer att titta på korrekt och gudfruktig användning av makt och inflytande i det kristna hemmet och i kyrkan i ljuset av exempel och undervisning från Herren som har getts all makt. Vi kommer först att komma till en förståelse av vad makt är och hur vi använder den samt ta upp olika sätt på vilka vi kan missbruka vår gudagivna makt och skada fåren till vika vi har blivit kallade som herde. Slutligen kommer vi att studera  hur makt som är återlösande (redemptive) ser ut i en ledares liv.

The proper and godly use of power and influence in the Christian home and in the church will be considered in light of the example and teachings of our Lord to whom all power has been given. We will first come to an understanding of what power is and how we use it as well as consider various ways in which we can abuse our God-given power and bring harm to the sheep we have been called to shepherd. Finally, we will consider what power that is redemptive looks like in the life of a leader. - See more at: http://www.foclonline.org/workshop/leadership-power-and-authority-church-and-home#sthash.y9gqAn4e.DmQR25Yz.dpuf

The Voice – The Vision

Från Rivers of Edens blogg:.

"The Voice – The Vision

When there is chaos, a voice of truth rises up to lead the way through confusion. A Voice of Truth is rising up in this time. God is raising up many people that are passing through a transitional time, where they are being asked to count the cost in speaking that which God desires spoken in these days. I recently had a recurring vision while in prayer. 

The Vision: People were passing through a canal that linked two bodies of water. I will call this ‘transitional waters’ through which many are passing from one point to another. Some were swimming. Some were treading water. Some were wading. These transitional waters were a point of training for a people to speak for God, to be a Voice, not an echo. It was in this place that many realized there was a cost to be a Voice. Those who speak will be challenged, persecuted, ignored and rejected. Yet, how desperately we need a Voice of Truth in these times.

Let me challenge you in this blog series. You may be thinking that this does not apply to you. I would ask you to think again. This series will challenge you to speak truth and also to accept truth when someone speaks it to you in grace. Truth sets captives free. Truth breaks lies that control our lives. Jesus said, 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32 NKJV) Do you want to be free? Truly free? Then you must hear truth and speak truth in the person of Jesus Christ.

So I will jump right into the waters in this blog to call forth a Voice of Truth in many who will read this. I won’t qualify my statements by trying to think of everyone who may resist what I am going to say. There will always be the offended and the accusers. Many will oppose a Voice of Truth by saying there is not enough love being spoken.  Some will say the words are judgmental or strong. There are any numbers of reasons to shut our voices down. Yet, you must speak for the world needs your voice.

As the Lord said to me one day, “Debra, just say it!” I am passing through these transitional waters with many of you, learning to speak what God wants spoken and weighing my words carefully in the Spirit so that grace is evident and real flowing through my life. What about you? Don’t you see them? There are people all around you needing truth to be set free. I see them. We will talk about them in this blog series. You may find yourself among them – how you were or how you are. And, you will definitely find others you may know who you come into contact with everyday. Enjoy the journey with me!"

The warfare of brokenness and pure devotion


WORD FOR THE WEEK

"The Western church, like a ‘passive smoker’, has inhaled the toxic fumes of its culture. Like Israel of old, she has bowed at the altars of the surrounding nations. And, like her, has inevitably come under a discipline of God. Unlike Asia and large regions of Africa, the West is apostate. Having embraced the creator-God as her Bridegroom in the first several centuries she turned to other lovers – to false gods. But to whom much is given much is required. Because of the light she received in those first several centuries her judgements will be that much more intense. Therefore, until the Western church falls on the rock, the rock will continue to fall on her. The reason we are not seeing the breakthrough in the West, in my view, is simply because God is resisting it!

... If we persist in our pursuit of other gods we will continue to be resisted. The idolatry of technique and the frenetic pursuit of new and better models of doing church will only continue to provoke his displeasure. Even “spiritual warfare” will fail if the underlying sin is not dealt with. Our controversy is not so much with “principalities and powers” as it is with God! As the creator of the earth, he is the ultimate ‘territorial spirit’. The earth is his and if we return to him as the one true and living God he will give it to us – he will bring down every prideful demonic stronghold over cities and nations, because they have first been brought down in us. Our warfare is, therefore, the warfare of brokenness and pure devotion."

Övergångstider

WORD FOR THE WEEK

"… the mark of the new order is not membership of a particular group or movement. It is whether we have yielded to the processes of God in the perplexity of prophetic delay and learned the lessons of the cave (see the full article for an explanation of these terms).

We stand at a transitional point in history – the overlap between an old order and the new. There is right now a new move of God being prepared in the wings. But before it breaks forth, we are being faced with a time of prophetic delay, and therefore with decisions – will we find refuge and dream fulfilment through human ability, 'head and shoulders' government, or in the Lord? Will we cast ourselves in brokenness on him or merely resolve to overcome in our own strength depending on our skill, training, and programs - on human strategy and planning? The purpose of prophetic delay, of transitional times is probationary - we are being weighed in the balance - but will it fall to the old order of human control or to the new order of humility and brokenness.

We are talking here about an inner quality of the spirit that is supernatural. It cannot be faked – it is more than cultural graciousness and good manners. It is something deep in the human spirit that only God himself can create. It comes in the extremity of our circumstances – when we are either crushed by the weight of God's awesome presence or overwhelmed without emotional, physical, or financial strength – when in utter weakness we call on the Lord.

Therefore, let us cry with David, 'Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me'; for 'the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart…' (Psa 51:10, 17).

And in this moment of prophetic delay let us also be confident that the One who lives in a high and holy place lives also with 'he who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite' (Isa 57:15)."
