Gillette Abundant Life Church

Paul explains to the church how they should keep things in order. One must read and study the whole context of these scriptures to be fully informed.

God sets us apart, He prunes us to where we can produce more fruit for His purpose. We should be producing fruit in every season of life, and be continually examining our branches for true fruit. Every branch that does not bear fruit, He will prune. And He will prune fruit bearing branches also, that can sometime be painful and we have to trust in Him and His purpose for our life.

Ridicule involves the act of mockery. Do not surround yourself people who ridicule God. He sets an example for us, God resists the proud. When we humble ourselves it gets us closer to Him and allows us to more closely see others the way He sees them, through love.

We must have that agape love that Jesus has toward us.

The children of Israel were free from Egypt physically, but mentally, they were not. Anytime something difficult arose they wanted to go back to bondage because they knew some things were provided. God didn't set us free to go back to the sin that had us bond. There is no security in bondage.

There are many times in the bible that God/Jesus met a specific person on purpose not just have an encounter with that person, but to redirect their lives. Jesus wants to meet you where you are and give you an encounter that you won't forget so your life can be changed.....

There is different types of tongues. There is prophesying types of tongues, declarative types of tongues. Just to name a couple. But just because you are not being used in that type of gifting doesn't mean you are less important. If you are filled with the Holy Ghost, you are part of the body of Christ. Every part of your body is important, even if it is in a cast. You are important.

God is our refuge and strength.
