Man’s rejects make some of God’s greatest prospects.

This post is the revelatory teaching notes that Dr. Aikens taught from in the Bootcamp entitled "Joseph Stepping Down to a Higher Call". Posted by Rev. Jane Babich after attending the Bootcamp. Sometimes we step down to a higher call as preparation for the work of God. Genesis 37:2-4 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report. Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors. And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and…
This post is the revelatory teaching notes that Dr. Aikens taught from in the Bootcamp entitled "Faith Cometh to Rebuke Mess!". Posted by Rev. Jane Babich after attending the Bootcamp. Faith Cometh to Rebuke Mess!” (It’s so Key!) Today we consider two bedrock key principles of salvation; “Grace and Faith”. We do so to get an understanding that Grace is given to strengthen us for the press, and Faith comes to rebuke the mess! So, getting a revelation of this concept beloveds; is absolutely Key! Faith untried may be true faith, but it is sure to be little faith; likely to remain small; unable to rebuke subtility so we’d behave wisely in trials. Such was Adam's and his woman’s problem. Genesis 3:8 Apostle-phrased! And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of…
Ambassadors for Christ are to be surrendered and purposed to turn around and choose to be chosen.
This post is the revelatory teaching notes that Dr. Aikens taught from in the Bootcamp entitled "Absolute & Key: Working What Would Worketh Me". Posted by Rev. Jane Babich after attending the Bootcamp. James 1: 3-4 tells us a key principle of our faith we’ll find is absolute, it’s that; “We’re to know this; that the trying of our faith “worketh” patience. Therefore, “let” patience have her perfecting work; that we then; may be found perfect, entire; wanting in no area! What does all this mean? Whenever we’re being “worked” by whatever’s been “permitted”; and all must be permitted to come to nigh those who are the Lord’s; when we can’t see the way out; thus, feel a spiritual time out should have been called long ago; we get anxious, we fret; we become vexed; double-minded; short-tempered; even depressed as…
At a time when God’s people were continually being beguiled by “evil present with them”; He sent His prophet and captain, Isaiah; to faithfully speak truth to lighten that darkness. And again, he obediently went and with quiet confidence men hear loudly; “spoke boldly” to “evil” its future, He said; “Behold saith God, “I will yet come do marvelous, astonishing things among My people. It is My truth when heard, that shall cause subtility’s wisdoms and false understanding completely lacking discernment to vanish. And all Mine good men “shall see”! For I declare “woe” unto evil’s fruit thinking to hide from Me what their counsel wrongly teaches. They speak and cover their evil with darkness; thinking who sees or really knows us?” But I do declare woe!
We’ve worked surely building up our foundational knowledge to more and more understand we’ve very key, amazing nine gifts and fruit of the Spirit. He equips us as believers for individual press towards the mark God sets to work out in our own revelatory high calling. Now consider the gauntlet of oppositional traffic jams the 12 strongmen tag teams form. They hinder press to do good in spiritual relationship we now value as eternal salvation. They make it costly to emulate the Lord; so remain determined to follow Him; despite all those divers temptations we find we may frustratingly fall into. His Grace will help us to not “utterly” fall!
For those who’ve chosen to love and trust in the Lord; truly realize that in our lives there can be no turning back; no thought of falling back to any plan “B” of who and what we depend upon. It truly must be that we love the Lord, therefore are fully persuaded, the safest place for us is in His will!
Last week we Selah’d with Galatians 5:22-26; listing the fruit of the Spirit. Our takeaway was His fruit are singular, but as multifaceted in nature as He is tripartite; yet being but one God. And we are the same; made in His likeness. This multi-faceted fruit listing is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness or meekness and temperance called self-control. Today, we define how it shapes and gives us strength of spirit, coupled with His grace to behave wisely; enabling all to see, indeed; He is with us!
Living in the Fruit of the Spirit; with Grace - by Dr. Audrey Aikens These verses are a responsive reading done during the teaching from 1 Samuel 22:1-52 Apostle-phrased to personalize! David spoke to the Lord in his Psalm 18 which he wrote in the day the Lord delivered him out of his enemies and king Saul’s hand. He sang “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer; in Him will I trust. He’s my shield; my salvation, my high tower, my refuge and savior; my everything. You oh Lord; saved me from “violence every strongman” has thought to bring me! Thus, “I will” trust and continually call on the Lord! He is worthy to be praised! As I praise Him, He continually saves me from all my enemies! When death comes in billowing waves to threaten me; when…
