Deuteronomy 13 -15; Galatians 1; Titus 3

Ok so just sent out an invite to people to come and journey through Earner to Heir, 6 weeks exploring Your Plan for us.....so I best stay in this Journey myself....not being able to shed the red cloak myself what am I going to be showing them...the desire to shed it, the desire to BE close to my Abba...
we show each other our hearts......dangerous as that sounds....that's what we do.

Deut. 13: 3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him.

And then Galatians, gotta love Paul.... so much faith and passion coming from a real life experience w/God......it's just an amazing story.... seeing him go from zealot to this amazing softer servant of Christ, willing to do whatever it takes to spread the Gospel of Christ. He's a character that gives me hope....

Titus 3: 3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. 10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. 11 You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.


It's not going to be important what we say, You work in the hearts and minds of people way ahead of us......no matter what we think our little invite is about....You are ahead of it....and we are only responsible to say what You put on our hearts. Now...to know what you put on my heart we have to ask......we have to take time, spend time here with You finding out how very little we know and then....to be curious...... to ask and Thank You Abba we have found that out , how very little we know......and the asking is getting easier...so maybe the red cloak is coming off??
