FELLOWSHIP: RESOLVING CONFLICTS
1/12/21 FELLOWSHIP: RESOLVING CONFLICTS
HEARD AND SAW:
I saw a little table inside a cabin in the wilderness. The table was sitting in front of a picture window. Table of fellowship. Don’t look at anything else but Me, not the circumstances.
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES IN FELLOWSHIP
Courage. I saw the inner workings of a scrapbook binding, where the individual spine and 2 covers needed to be joined. I saw some Tyvek that needed to be applied to connect them as one book. At your own risk. Courage. More tongues.
When I saw the book and theme of fellowship, I was reminded of this scripture:
Malachi 3:16-18 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17 And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him. 18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.
As to the 2 covers, I am reminded of how 2 Christians can have different views and perspectives, but when they come together to speak about the Lord, they are bound together by His love. The spine of the book can represent the Lord, that which they have in common. The Lord listens to both perspectives as they seek to know Him and His truth, and it is so precious to Him, He keeps a book in heaven recording their fellowship.
When creating scrapbooks, Tyvek is sticky and used to attach the front and back cover together with the spine. It keeps them from tearing apart, is water proof and very strong.

1/15/21 RICK JOYNER: Today he said we all have filters and we can all be biased. You can have many interpretations of events that took place and we need them to form the whole picture. He said all Christians should learn how to evaluate info for accuracy.
He described perspectives as an elephant. People have a blindfold on and don’t know they are feeling an elephant. One says, I feel a big round tree trunk (the leg of the elephant) and another, it feels like a hose, another says the ear is a big leaf. We see a bigger picture as we put together what different prophetic people say.
I turned to this W2P today and felt it was a confirmation to hearing “At your own risk.”
FREELY LOVING BUT GUARDING YOUR HEART (8/22/06)
Pebbles and stones are the stumbling blocks that arise in the communications of all people. It is how you respond to these, that brings you into the maturity of walking in My love. When it comes to learning how to freely give and receive My love, there is a fine line in learning how to walk between tenderness and hardness of heart. If one is too tender, he will feel every pebble under foot. To walk in such a place will eventually leave the stoning of a bruised heart. If one does not freely forgive with understanding, that bruised heart will become stone. A stony heart must be broken and the bitterness removed. It is a painful process in the unveiling of one’s soul to be so broken. It is a hard place to guard one’s heart and yet to love enough that you let yourself out and someone else in. Love is sometimes very painful and trust is not easily given once broken.
1 John 4:16-21 NLT
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we are like Christ here in this world. Such love has no fear because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of judgment, and this shows that his love has not been perfected in us. We love each other as a result of his loving us first. If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we have not seen? And God himself has commanded that we must love not only him but our Christian brothers and sisters, too.
WORD TO PONDER RESOLVING CONFLICTS 1/12/21
Beloveds, when you come together with other Christians, always remember that I want to be a part of your conversations. When in the midst of difficult circumstances it is easy to get derailed. If you focus on resolving differences of opinions, it can become a downhill cycle that decays the soul.
Stop and pray and bring Me into all of your conversations. As you keep Me as your focus, I will give you life giving good gifts towards peaceful resolutions. I will spare you and bring you through with discernment and understanding to resolve what is right and wrong so that you can come together in agreement. Together you will see that different perspectives can play a part in revealing what I AM wanting to bring to the table.
Malachi 3:16-18 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17 And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him. 18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.
