Welcome to week 37 of the 2022 Home Fellowship Bible study under Dr. Kevin Zadai’s Warrior Notes Ministry.
Here are my comments and insights on Dr. Kevin Zadai’s Home Fellowship Lesson for this week. You can share your comments at Comment

I have to comment on the first couple of lines by Dr. Kevin Zadai. I find myself trying to compete with others in the faith at times. That is a mistake. We may sometimes compete with ourselves trying to learn and do, but our work is in vain unless the Lord builds the house. I should ask myself whether I am too much like Martha sometimes and running dry. We always have to seek the Kingdom first and sit at the feet of Jesus like Mary.

Luke 10:38-42
38 Now, it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”

41 And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
NKJV

I want to bring out a point in Ephesians, which is part of our study, focusing on Eph 4:21, 25 here.

Eph 4:21, 23
21 If you have really experienced the Anointed One, and heard his truth, it will be seen in your life; for we know that the ultimate reality is embodied in Jesus!

23 Now, it’s time to be made new by every revelation that’s been given to you
TPT

The ultimate reality is embodied in Jesus Christ, and He Dwells in you if you have received Jesus. Those revelations come by sitting at the feet of Jesus as we read in Luke 10 and expressed within Eph 4. This revelation sets you free.

Q: 1. Discuss how the revelation of Christ in us changes people’s behavior versus us trying to make people behave.

I’ll give my input; you can give yours by commenting on this blog. I saw an old black and white film called “Robo Man.” The movie was based on the treatment of an individual in order to get the person to have traits imposed upon him. They were not desirable traits. But through conditioning, the individual took on these traits. I believe this happens in the church quite a bit in the negative sense. If we keep beating our backs with the proverbial chain and our neighbor’s backs as well by labeling one another falsy (slandering – satan’s name means to slander and slandering satanizes people), we wind up creating -being if you are the victim – what you are being labeled as.

Love is key. If the church can not express love as we find it in Christ, then we have Robo Christians. We have an outward appearance of Godliness while we are – feel more like a whitewashed sepulcher. If people cannot be good to one another in the Body, then we are not following Christ’s example. The End of Your Faith – Week 40

It is due to sin that we do not feel good about a person whom people are talking about. It is not the individual being talked about that makes you upset. It is sin in the form of words entering your person. It is a spirit, and it is not holy (Dr. Kynan Bridges). As King David prayed, there can never be too much preaching on “setting a guard before our mouths.” What Keeps You from Receiving from God? -Week 10

Can anyone control the tongue that sets nature’s course on the fires of hell? Only the quenching living waters from God’s throne can quench that fire, and it starts with love from within our hearts.

I believe people mistreat each other in the church because they are failing at what we are meant to do, the first and foremost being sharing the Gospel message. So instead, we take on a false religious venue and cloak our guilt of inactivity with “holding one another accountable,” which is just masking our lack of sharing the truth of Jesus Christ. Not that we are not to do so, I need to be held to account and even more so as I express ideas on God’s word and teach. This message may convict you. It has to convict me first as I have done the same. I hope to fight the good fight of faith in my situations. I feal the most prominent sin in the church is the tongue setting the course of nature on fire

James 3:1-12
1 Do not become teachers in large numbers, my brothers, since you know that we who are teachers will incur a stricter judgment. 2 For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to rein in the whole body as well. 3 Now if we put the bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their whole body as well. 4 Look at the ships too: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are nevertheless directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot determines. 5 So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire, the very world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set among our body’s parts as that which defiles the whole body and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. 7 For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race. 8 But no one among mankind can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people, who have been made in the likeness of God; 10 from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters, these things should not be this way. 11 Does a spring send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water? 12 Can a fig tree, my brothers and sisters, bear olives, or a vine bear figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh
NASB

So, how do we balance correcting ourselves, correcting each other, and avoiding sin? Obvious sin is very evident. I can become lax and non-decerning regarding my focus. Some sins may not be evident in their nature. I can fail at this point in correcting myself and correcting others. If I have a plank in my eye, how can I tell someone to let me help you see better? My ability to assist will be affected by my faults. First, I have to confess my sins. I have to see myself for what I am in all aspects. Love helps us do that. I’m still in the phase of needing a doctor before I can assist others, but I think I can help nonetheless.

If you feel like you are being abused within a church, I advise you to find another place of worship. Avoid abusive people in the church who say they are making sure everything is holy. They are masking their sin and pointing a finger at you simultaneously. I have seen this as people speak harshly of ministers meanwhile their own sin manifest. I have seen it coming from pulpits, which is a major issue.

I heard Dr. Sandra Kennedy say there are just as many psychologically ill people within the church as there are without. She stated this should not be the case.

The Good News: Proverbs 4:18;
We cannot lose our Salvation. I would imagine there are those who might cringe at this idea, but I have to say I agree that you cannot lose what God has accomplished. If you say yes, you can lose your Salvation, you are saying the Cross was not strong enough to hold you. There are places in the Bible where we read there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, and that place, believe it or not, isn’t hell. (Dr. Tony Evens, Dr. Charles Stanly, Dr. Missler, and many others agree. I did not want to through names out, but these names should ring a bell.) If you agree you can lose your Salvation, you are saying you bring your own righteousness to the Cross and add something to the work it has accomplished. Now, we do earn or lose rewards based on our actions or the lack thereof. That is where the weeping and gnashing of teeth comes in. Love your neighbor as yourself, and treat others as you would have them treat you. Fear God and not man.

I can say I need correction, and I thank God that He has opened my heart to receiving correction. That came through love. It does not come through isolation and scornful gestures. While I felt like Robo Man at times in my Christian life. We cannot be like that. We must confess our sins to God. We must ask God to forgive us. We must walk in the light of His fellowship and sit at His feet. Then we can lay all hindrances aside.

Share your personal experiences. Comment on any part of the video and not just necessarily the questions Dr. Kevin suggest. Tell us what God is saying to you.
