The Thoughts of the Soul!

-

Last Saturday, March 20, 2010 we had a special speaker come share the word of God with us. Her name: Mercedes Dawson. What an amazing anointed women of God! It was easy to see that her knowledge went far beyond reading the word of God, but of having it engraved in her heart. A Bible verse that comes to mind to describe her walk with Christ is that one found in Joshua 1:8 (TNIV) “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” Not only did she impact us with her easiness of quoting bible verse after bible verse and her powerful testimony but we were blown away by her topic:
The Thoughts of the Soul.

She started off by explaining the effect of the fall of sin and how because of sin the original purpose of life was distorted. The original distortion is found in Genesis 3:7-8, when Adam and Eve felt ashamed because they had disobeyed God and thereby losing the vision that God had given them.
She further explained that the effects of the fall of sin are:
1. Rejection
2. Shame
3. Weakness and Impotence
Mercedes explained that “All bad behavior is a clear need to fill in the basic needs of life.” She further explained that “The enemy’s purpose is to keep man blind but God’s purpose is to show man the truth.” Therefore, we shouldn’t live life by our emotions but rather by the truth of the Word of God.

But where do we find our emotions? Well, we find them in the heart. The word for "heart" here is "kardia" = "the thoughts or feelings (mind). In this instance it does not refer to the flesh of the heart that pumps blood, but really our "mind" in the sense of our "soul" or "spirit." In Romans 8:27(TNIV) it says, “And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God.” God is the ONLY ONE able to discern the intentions of every heart! With this we must understand that many times our problems are a matter of the heart (our mind) and that we must overcome them with the truth of the Word of God. This will be the only way we will become victorious in our walk with Christ!
At the end she concluded by challenging us with the following question “When people in the world see us, for example our friends, family, colleagues, etc.., are we actually reflecting the glory of God? So, that they yearn for what we have?
We sure hope so! If not, today is a great day to start reflecting the glory of God through your testimony and letting them know what they are missing out on!
So.... there it is people!
The Thoughts of our Soul! We challenge you to concentrate about the things that are true, which is the Word of God. This will take care of the erroneous thoughts of our heart/mind/and soul.
Keep in mind like Mercedes said, “Only the Word of God that we speak has eternal transcendence!” So let’s go out there and speak the Word of Truth!

Connecting to you!

O n Saturday, June 20, 2010 our Deacon: Edy Canel brought a very special word, which he titled “Healing the Wounded” in Spanish “Vendando las Heridas.” Most of us in our lives have been wounded at one point in our lives. Some have been wounded physically, others emotionally, others spiritually and others a combination of all these. The pain and hurt felt through any of these types of wounds, usually leaves a scar behind. A scar that many types is too painful to look at. Each scar is a reminder of those days of tears, agony and pain, where you felt your heart torn apart into pieces and it seemed like there was nothing that could ever put it back together again. Many hidden wounds are found deep in the heart. Some of these are based on past experiences. Examples of such are: Severe Criticism, Hatred, Physical Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Emotional Abuse and even Spiritual Abuse. These wounds can be caused even by your closest loved ones, your spouse, family and brothers/sisters in Christ. Eve...
