The message on the ensuing pages was
probably prompted by the following statement: “Something is wrong with the way we do
church.” Anonymous,

F. Y. I. Desire
Gift of Prophecy Follow the way of love and eagerly
desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. But everyone who
prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort. 1
Corinthians 14:1 & 3 NIV Test
Prophecies Please test the message on the opposite
page to see if it is of the Lord or if it is me. Do not treat prophecies with contempt.
Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil. 1
Thessalonians 5:20-22 NIV MESSAGE
My children are confused. [editor - are we raising our hands and clapping in praise of
the band or the Lord? This is worship due the Lamb of God. Why is the band facing
us and not the cross?] “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” 1
Corinthians 14:33 NASB I have placed My Son as Head of this
body. Make it clear and they will raise their hands in praise to My Son. Quicken
– Power To Arouse & Invigorate If the
previous page’s message is real, it still remains to be determined that it
applies to the Video Café at this time. Only the Lord’s words that are quickened
by His Spirit give life. The Greek word for quicken [Zoopoieo]
literally means "make alive, or give vitality" by spiritual power to
arouse and invigorate; like a seed germinating, springing up and growing. The
Bible is just words until they are quickened and we finally realize they apply
to us “Listen to this, I'm talking to you!” It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63
KJV The Spirit can make life. Sheer muscle
and willpower don't make anything happen. Every word I've spoken to you is a
Spirit-word, and so it is life-making. But some of you are resisting, refusing
to have any part in this. John
