Independence and liberty are two of the most important things to most nations, whether or not individually we realize it. Nations rise and fall all for the pursuit of independence and liberty. That is a desire that God gave us and rightly so, the only problem is that independence and liberty with out God is a perversion. We have to be solely dependent on God to gain independence, we have to stand under God's authority to gain liberty. All through the blood of Jesus! Praise God!
What is spurring this thought of liberty and independence is how we have compartmentalized ourselves as a Body, notice the word there, Body. We, together corporately are the Body, not individually. We have divided ourselves based on trivial things, you like contemporary music go here, you like hymnals go there, you believe this and I believe that, so instead of coming together on the thing that makes us the same, Christ, we separate. Look around you at all the little and big independent "churches," I'm not judging them or anything, I'm actively involved in a "church," I use the word church in this way because we are just a tiny part of His Church, we aren't by ourselves the Church only together in unity are we the Church.
Romans 12:4-6 (New International Version)
Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.
Let me reemphasize the fact that this is an unfolding revelation to me and not in judgement, I desire for us to come together in unity! The enemy is working very hard to keep us divided for one simple reason...
Matthew 12:25
Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
Mark 3:25
If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
Luke 11:17
Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall.
So what he is doing is telling us your better than them because your worship leader is "more anointed" or can sing better. Then we buy into it and divide ourselves to chase our own thing and we forget the word or the dream in the beginning! With all this happening we begin to look at one another with some sort of spiritual superiority, like we are bigger and better, just like the Pharisee's. Then comes the harsh judgement and the back biting and the slander, especially when something happens and some one "falls" or something.
The Church corporately is a joke to most Americans. We think that it is because all these people have made mistakes and made us look bad. We are sadly mistaken, just read the Bible, read about David, Solomon. Division is what is made us a joke. That one that "fell," were we praying for them and lifting them up with blessings before the "fall?" We can't come together on anything but attacking our brother whenever they do make a mistake. Let's begin to come together! You have a dream and lack the resources? I know I do. But if we come together and share our dreams, visions, and resources think about how much more we can accomplish! No longer will we be crushed by the weight of trying to carry it all by ourselves, when we weren't created for that. We will be able to do greater things, bigger things, if run together.
God has given me a huge dream and a bigger vision! It is exciting and exhilarating. At the same time, I have some great restrictions, I have an 80,000 dollar debt for a mistake I made, I can't find a full time job, everything I have is either given or loaned to me and the list goes on. Looking at all this it is a bit overwhelming sometimes, but I know that I serve the God of the universe, the One who spoke it all into existence and nothing is outside of His control and He is a good Father, who desires to give us good gifts. Do I really think that He is going to pour money from heaven on me and let me try to run this thing alone? No. The fact of the matter is that when God first called His people Israel, they were one clan, one people. God was their king and ruler, but they wanted a man to rule over them and He gave them the desire of their heart, even though it wasn't His will and look what happened.... Division! Then when Christ came and gave the great commission and the first apostles went out they again began to bring the Body together in unity, every one bringing all they own together to care for one another, no one was without, all needs were met. That is how He designed it...Ecclesia- an assembly of citizens, this is the Greek word for church working together in koinonia- fellowship, actually sharing their lives in a covenant relationship, a brotherhood.
Acts 2:42 (New International Version)
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Beloved, I pray that this might pierce our stony hearts and move us towards one another, let's cut covenant and run together. Let's see what God can do when His people move together as one people!
Deuteronomy 32:30
How could one chase a thousand,
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their Rock had sold them,
And the LORD had surrendered them?

Judgment!!! Can We Handle It?
In today’s culture judgment is ingrained in us, everywhere you look, there are even entire programs devoted to judging and judgment. While God gave us judgment for good we have once again perverted it and use it incorrectly. God gave us judgment for accountability and to spur us into prayer. We must be careful of the things we are judging, they are usually the very things we struggle with.
The Word of God says not to judge according to one’s appearance in John 7:24 “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” The people in Jesus’ time were having a difficult time really believing that He was the Christ. They were expecting some big, fancy political leader to come and establish a kingdom in this world. They were not expecting the son of a carpenter from a little fishing town like Galilee. See in their incorrect judgment of the appearance, many missed the truth of who He really was and still is.
Matthew 7:1-2 “Judge not, that you are not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. That makes it very clear, with the same ruler we use to judge other people, we will get judged. That is a tough pill to swallow for me because of the harsh way that I have judged people. In our attempt to make ourselves feel better or look better, we are down right nasty! God made us all individuals with our own likes and dislikes, style, taste, appearance and talents. This year I started watching American Idol for the first time. Here is the thing though, no matter what we may think of those people up there doing their best, God loves them and He loves the way they look and sing. In fact He loves the way all of us look and sing and well do everything else we do and that makes us all pretty equal in my book.
I absolutely love John 8 and my favorite part of that text is the very beginning. There is Jesus going alone to the Mount of Olives to pray no doubt. When He returns to the temple the scribes and Pharisees approach Him with a woman who was just caught in the “very act” of adultery. The law says that she is to be stoned in Leviticus 20:10 so they wanted to see what Jesus would do about this situation, they were trying to trick Him. This is so cool, when they threw this at Him he just stooped down and began to write something in the sand in His cool, calm and collective way. He didn’t say anything for some time and then He stood up and said, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” They were all convicted and left from the oldest to the youngest. Then He tells the woman that she is free to go cause no one accuses her and then He tells her to go and sin no more. Awesome! In this text we really get a good feel for how we are to respond to the world, love and compassion, setting captives free not condemning like the Pharisees’ and religious leaders of the day.
He continues later in the text in John 8:15-16 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. He shows us first by action what we are doing wrong and how to do it right then He says it, He always lives the example first. That is the most important thing is living the example. Sometimes we will be the only Bible people will look at or we’ll be the only Christ they see. We must live the example all the time or else we’ll loose them. Isaiah 58:6 tells us the “fast” that God has chosen for us is to undo the heavy burdens, let the oppressed go free and break every yoke. How can we do any of that if we are too busy judging people to get to know and love on them? So judgment....can we handle it?

You Shall Receive Power
Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Jesus told His disciples in Acts 1:4 to wait for what the Father promised them. He was referring to the power they would receive “when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” Jesus gave this mandate to go with the promise that we don’t have to go at it alone, we have the Holy Spirit to not only guide and direct us but also the power of God has been made available to us through Him. Are we effective if we are trying to go about the will of the Father without utilizing the most important tool? Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Try as we may, we can never be truly effective without the presence and leadership of the Holy Spirit in our lives. 1 Corinthians 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? This verse makes it perfectly clear that we can by no means do things according to our own agenda for we don't even belong to ourselves! Though our own abilities mighty be great and we might be gifted, our best doesn’t even come close to His best, Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus promised the power of the Holy Spirit John 16:12-14 I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak of His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. The Holy Spirit wasn’t just for the early church, we are in just as much need of the Holy Spirit and His power as the early church, if not more. We see that God doesn’t play favorites with people in Luke 20:21 Then they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show personal favoritism, but you teach the way of God in truth.” This wasn’t even the disciples saying this but some of the religious authority at the time, trying to trick Him, yet even they noticed that Christ prefer one over the other. So how does it make any sense that God would send the Holy Spirit to only one generation? And once we receive that Holy Spirit, are job isn’t done. Yes, we are to be guided by Him and nothing we do is to be of our own strength but this means we need to do something. Go back to Acts 1:8 ...and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” That is a command to go and evangelize, spread the word and follow the acts of Jesus. First in our own community, Jerusalem was their own community. Then to the region and area, Judea and Samaria and finally everywhere else. We certainly cannot exist by just trying to reach everyone else if we aren’t even being effective right here in our own back yards. That leads me to this question: What is power? Here are some biblical definitions of the word power. I contend that if we don’t begin to seek His face and the power of the Holy Spirit that He will pass our generation just as He did Moses and the Israelites in the wilderness.
Power
A. Noun
1. Dunamis: power referring to a variety of ideas relating to ability, capacity, authority and might; is sometimes used by metonymy (a word or expression used as a substitute for something with which it is closely associated) of persons and things, e.g.,
a. of God, Matthew 26:64; Mark 14:62 Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.” NKJV
b. Of Angels Ephesians 1:21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and above every name that is names, not only in this age but also in that which is to come; RV Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 1Peter 3:22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him. NKJV
c. Of that which manifests God’s power: Christ: 1Corinthians 1:24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God; The Gospel: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek NKJV
d. Of mighty works Mark 6:5 And He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands upon a few sick people and healed them. RV Mark 9:39 But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in My name will be able soon after to speak evil of Me. RV; Acts 2:22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know-NKJV Acts 8:13 Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed seeing the miracles and signs which were done. NKJV 2 Corinthians 12:12 Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds. NKJV
2. Exousin: denotes freedom of action, right to act; used of God, it is absolute, unrestricted, e.g.,
a. authority is the freedom to decide or a right to act without hindrance. Romans 9:21 Does not the potter have the power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel of honor and another for dishonor? NKJV Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. NKJV b. used of men, authority is delegated Acts 1:7 And He said to them, “ It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. NKJV 1Corinthians 9:18 What is my reward then? That when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel. NKJV
c. angelic beings are also called powers Ephesians 3:10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made know by the church to the principalities and powers of in the heavenly places. NKJV Ephesians 1:21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every names that is named, not only in this age NKJV Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. NKJV Colossians 1:16 For by him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. NKJV Colossians 2:15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. NKJV Colossians 2:10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. NKJV
3. Ischus: ability force, strength is nowhere translated power 2 Timothy 1:9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began NKJV
4. Kratos: is translated power e.g., 1 Timothy 6:16 who alone has immorality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no mane has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen NKJV Hebrews 2:14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil NKJV Ephesians 1:19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power NKJV Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. NKJV
5. Dunaton: the common adjective form of dunatos, powerful Romans 9:22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured the much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction NKJV
6. Arche: a beginning, rule, is translated power in Luke 20:20 So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor. NKJV
B. Verb
1. Exousiazo: to exercise authority
a. in the active voice, have authority and of the power of the rulers Luke 22:25 And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors’” NKJV 2 Corinthians 7:4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
b. in the passive voice, to be brought under the power of a thing 1 Corinthians 6:12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. NKJV
Jesus told His disciples in Acts 1:4 to wait for what the Father promised them.
