'A CHAT WITH A BASSETT HOUND'
A week on from a superb weekend conference hosted by 'Churches Together' in Scarborough, their first Springfest annual event, I have come home blessed with much food for thought. Dr. R.T. Kendall was speaking on Total Forgiveness and the Anointing. I was particularly touched with the reminder on the need to live in the "Realm of the ungrieved Spirit." I was minded as a result of this to pick up a book bought a while back sitting in my veritable library that needs to 'get into' me, "GLORY ON YOUR HOUSE", by Jack Hayford. He is listed in my links, by the way. He has much to say that strengthens the message of how to live in the realm of the ungrieved Spirit. Last year I spent 3 mornings reading a book about love by E.W.Kenyon and came away glowing, gripped and impassioned, delightfully convicted this is what God wants for us more than anything. I had only heard Kenyon's name before. (There is no particular order as to whose who listed) Amazed that Kenyon was a revivalist on Jonathan Edward's earlier stomping ground and that he began a Bible School, his message then has great value for today and is most relevant. Being loving ..at all times, hmmn.
Quite a challenge, easy when we feel God close, easy when we feel loved, but what when the heat is on as the proverbial song goes? Hmmn. Hold that thought as I continue. R.T. Kendall spoke twice on Total Forgiveness: "We do it because it's right", "It's a life sentence" and,"this is the purest form of Christianity". I responded twice by coming forward to stand and repeat a prayer with a group of us (2 different meetings).
1st meeting - I had folk to forgive. 2nd meeting - as R.T. spoke, E.W. Kenyon's parallel and complimentary message came vividly back to mind. I responded to both 'benedictions'. because I want the Grace to be loving no matter what. My flesh hates it...but my spirit loves it! Our spirit is always strengthened by what our flesh hates if God calls us to pay a price - it's small compared to Jesus' price for us, and the later reward is great. God liberates as when we are prepared to let His Dove out of the cage of our own hearts to enable us to simply and excellently love folk around us. When we come to the place when our delight is to Bless and see God touch people who knows, He may just fill the House with Glory.
Oh by the way, I spoke to a Bassett Hound that weekend, he much appreciated it, very kissy to my hands!
God wants us to have spiritual ears like such, with hearts that hear as to 'hearken'.
Be doggone blessed!

I enjoyed your article where you shared the dream which you had. I have had a few dreams myself but I have learnt that sometimes when God shows you something, He wants you to do something about it (its an assignment). So you have to be able to discern what it is that the Lord wants from you. (T. Kachote - tmkachote@yahoo.co.uk)
