Edification for October 26

Hello again sisters! 

I'm back here to share a few more things to edify you. 

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Romans 14:19

I was washing dishes today and the glass I was washing broke in my hands so it took a little chunk out my hand so I can't type the best today so I made you an audio. I read some of Proverbs 31 to edify you godly women. 

(And I think my hand will heal fine but it just makes me so very thankful for what I had before...and hopefully again when the body God made heals itself:-)

A sister shared 2 John 1:10-11 (and I add a few more verses). 

Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 

If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 

For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

2 John 1:8-11

And how we have to be careful that we don't allow our emotions to affect what God's Word says. You can go look up the Greek of what those things mean. We have to be careful that we don't accommodate or be a partaker in false teachers bringing false doctrines. And in so doing we hope they will see the grave error of their ways and repent! 

I wrote to you how I was able to reach out and share the gospel with that Jehovah's Witness woman. And then she said she wanted to hear back from me... 

And she did hear from me...but I didn't hear from her. And after awhile I reached out again and then again asking if she was well and sharing more truth. But I think it's evident she doesn't want it. But she got truth and hope...if she is willing and repents. And we move on. 

And as I shared about the Hebrew Root woman awhile ago and how she ended communicating with me, not wanting truth...

So we can share the hope of the gospel with people, and it's up to them what they do with it. Some might get angry, or go silent and ignore you but either way God is glorified and His truth does what it does and we are to be faithful. And it's a precious rare thing when someone will seek and listen to truth...and then be transformed by the gospel and follow in all their ways, willing to lose it all for Christ. I'm thankful for all my sisters who do just that! And share that truth that changed them with others as well as loving the brethren! 

And I share a glass of cold water for you sisters! 

You realize how much of a blessing something as simple as that is when you are really thirsty and can't get to water right away. We're so blessed to have water! 

And share a cup of tea too! Just simple things to share together with you sisters as best we can long distance:-) 

If we were all together we would share and serve one another in the fellowship of the Lord...but it's nice to have communication via technology too. 

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

1 Peter 3:8

Tomatoes coming along in the garden... 

What a blessing to watch things grow to produce good foods in time (as long as no creature comes along and eats it or something:-). 

Reminds me of this...waiting patiently. 

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

James 5:7-8

That's encouraging! 

OK I must go now sister saints. Hope you are striving on in the true faith of the gospel! 

Let us be....... 

Patient 
Content
Humble
Obedient 
Holy
Righteous

Thankful
Virtuous 
Sober
Merciful 
Loving

...and everything else pleasing to the Father!

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

1 Thessalonians 4:1

Love in Christ, 

Sister Michaela
