This is day #3 of blogging quotes from John Bevere's book "The Bait of Satan".
"We will be judged according to fruit, not gifting. A gift is given. Fruit is cultivated."
"God never created us to live seperately and independently of each other... An isolated person seeks only his own desire, not God's. He recieves no counsel and sets himself up for deception."
"When God does instruct you to leave, you will go out with peace, no matter what the condtion of the minstry... Spiritual growth is a function of obedience... Our knowledge of Scripture is not the key. Obedience is... When God releases you in peace, you will not have pressure to justify your departure to others."
"The way you leave a church or a realtionship is the way you will enter into your next church or relationship."
"Many times God will allow people to run from situations He desires them to face if they are set on running from them in their hearts."
"How you react under pressure is how the real you acts."
"Trials in this life will expose what's in your heart - whether the offense is toward God or others. Tests either make you bitter toward God or others or stronger. If you pass the test, your roots will shoot down deper, stabilizing you and your future. If you fail, you become offended, which can lead to defilement with bitterness."
"Love is the bottom line in our relationship with the Lord - not love of principles or teachings but love for the Person of Jesus Christ."
"If you preach the truth you will offend people, and they will be uprooted and leave. Do not grieve over them, but rather continue to feed and nurture the ones God has sent you."
"Stay in your authority, or someone else will take it from you and use it against you."
