Hey all
Well I wanted to share a little something to keep this roll going. Didn't want it to be a year between posts. We are getting ready to leave for a 4 week trip throughout the US. We will be in MO GA NC TN and back to good ole TX. We will be seeing lots of friends and hopefully meeting some new ones along the way.
God continues to speak more deeply about the necessity of knowing the truth. Jesus said if you continue in my word you will know the truth and the truth will make you free. Knowledge of the word will bring us truth that bring us freedom. The problem as I see it is that so many are walking in the doctrines of men and don't know it. Because there is a big crowd or plenty of money flowing in doesn't mean the blessing of God is upon something. The truth is God has revealed His truth in the word and has given us the spirit of truth to be able to find and know the truth. This knowledge of the truth makes us free.
The systems of men have a form of godliness but deny the power, the power of God Himself. When we cling to our tradition instead of the word of God we make of no effect God's word. In other words our tradition has more clout in our lives than the Word of Almighty God. We think more about doing things the traditional way rather than seeking God to know Him and His ways. There are many who are deceived but it does not have to be that way. The word says it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom. So by this we know that our inheritance includes revelation of the kingdom of God and the ways of the Lord.
Many people are bored with the current system called church but the truth is the ways of the Lord are exciting and not boring. The fulfillment that comes from finding and doing your God given purposes are beyond description. Search for the truth. Seek the Lord with all your heart and you will find Him, He has promised. Also make the decision to take a position of vulnerability by putting your heart and all that is in it on the table for examination. Let God sort through your beliefs. Let Him reveal how your ways and His ways match up. Remember the Spirit of Truth has been sent by the Father to guide us in ALL truth. He has power to accomplish this. Permit Him, make opportunity for Him to do what He has been sent to us to do.
Bless you all as you seek and find Him. I pray you have boldness and courage to make any necessary changes in your life. Abundant Grace and Blessings to all Mitch

Hey Mitch! I saw your note to Chenoah about this blog being up and running again!
You said this so well. I know it seems simple, but the way that you explained "the truth shall set you free" made more sense to me than it ever has before. I always thought, the truth is Jesus and if you know Jesus than you are free (in a vague, general way). But in reality, we are in bondage to so many things in life without even being able to see it! Once we can see the truth and know the truth, than we are set free from that bondage, including the bondage to the systems of man. That really hit me!
Anyway, Lee and I are excited about you writing again and also excited to see you very soon on your trip throughout the US!
God bless you and Renae!

Mitch,
I really like what you said here,
"Remember the Spirit of Truth has been sent by the Father to guide us in ALL truth. He has power to accomplish this. Permit Him, make opportunity for Him to do what He has been sent to us to do".
I'm working on permitting Him and making opportunity to allow Him...
Thanks for these words.
I really needed to "hear" this tonight.
