Truth — Trust — Yield

“Jesus answered and said, ‘ I thank You, Father … that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.'” Matthew 11:25

One of my favorite Victorious Christian living speakers is my friend, Dr. Robertson McQuilken. His father, Robert C. was one of the early founders of the Victorious Life Testimony that eventually because America’s KESWICK.

One of Robertson’s messages that is so powerful is the message where he teaches about the two parts of victorious Christian living = Trust and Yield. It is a powerful teaching and I would be more than happy to make it available to you on CD if you will respond to today’s blog with your snail mail address.

Today you will most likely join me and my family, and you will sit under the teaching of God’s Word. Your Pastor will share TRUTH from the WORD that will transform your life if you will obey/apply it to your life.

I love what Oswald Chambers writes about the TRUTH:

All of God’s revealed truths are sealed until they are opened to us through obedience. You will never open them through philosophy or thinking. But once you obey, a flash of light comes immediately.

Let God’s truth work into you by immersing yourself in it, not by worrying into it. The only way you can get to know the truth of God is to stop trying to find out and by being born again. If you obey God in the first thing He shows you, then He instantly opens up the next truth to you.

You could read volumes on the work of the Holy Spirit, when five minutes of total, uncompromising obedience would make things as clear as sunlight. Don’t say, “I suppose I will understand these things someday!” You can understand them now. And it is not study that brings understanding to you, but obedience.

Even the smallest bit of obedience opens heaven, and the deepest truths of God immediately become yours. Yet God will never reveal more truth about Himself to you, until you have obeyed what you know already. Beware of becoming one of the “wise and prudent.” “If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know . . .” (John 7:17 ).

Is there a truth that the Holy Spirit has be gently nudging to take a look at? Has he been speaking to your heart and you have ignored His prompting? Don’t just read the truth — TRUST and YIELD and allow Him to work that truth into your heart and life TODAY! — Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s KESWICK

God’s WORD for YOU: Proverbs 11; Isaiah 37-38; Colossians 3

Great Quote: What’s in it for me?” man says about obeying God. In this context how selfish and sinful that question is. The living God has spoken, and that is enough. The Saviour who shed his blood to save us from hell has told us how we should live, and that is enough. The loving Holy Spirit who made us alive has moved holy men to speak a word to us, and that is enough. We obey God because that glorifies God and there is nothing more than that.

Brother Demas, Where Art Thou?

Brother Demas, Where Art Thou?

“Be diligent to come to me quickly, for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica.” 2 Timothy 4:10

“Having loved the present world.” It doesn’t really sound that bad. You could take a walk with this statement and say that they are a great many things in the present world that are worthy of love. I can give a list of earthly things, right off the top of my head, that are worthy of my love. My wife, my children, a steak done just right and a good cup of Starbucks coffee are just a few. But when Paul penned this statement down he did not have these worldly things in mind. Demas just up and bolted out of Rome and headed for Thessalonica while Paul was preparing for a date with an executioners axe.

Now to be fair, Demas wasn’t the only one who left. Crescens had gone to Galatia, Titus went to Dalmatia but Paul does not write that these men had forsaken him, only Demas gets that denoted to him for the rest of Biblical history. I tried real hard to find something else written about Demas in all the resources I have at my disposal. I even paged through the “Complete Works of Flavius Josephus” to see if there was something more historical to the man than what Paul described of him. But like Yukon Cornelius, I toss my pick ax in the air and pull it from the snow….”Nothin’!!”

I feel bad for Demas. He couldn’t take the heat and he got out of the kitchen. Paul was being poured out as a drink offering for keeping the faith and Demas must have not wanted to go the distance that should call all of us heavenward in Christ Jesus. But I feel bad for myself in the role of being like Demas. I, too, am guilty of being weary of going that kind of distance. We are told there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for their brother or sister (I know the ladies are reading this as well) but aren’t we selective on who we are willing to do this for?

There were other moments when Demas got an honorable mention. He is acknowledged, ahead of Luke, as a fellow laborer in Philemon, gives a greeting in Colossians but nothing compares to, “for Demas has forsaken me”. Forsaken is a strong word to describe the action that Demas took against Paul. I guess the other two at least told Paul they were leaving. But it sounds like Demas turned his back on Paul. This had to hurt “The Way” during a time when the Roman Empire could have used a better way. History tells the ugly tale of “The Roman Empire” doesn’t it?

So do we want to be part of the ugly tale? Do we want to clothe ourselves in “Demas” when the going gets tough? I guess it might be ok if the thought just crosses our minds but Jesus gives us strength to overcome the moment, if we diligently seek Him when we know, outright, that we are having a weak moment. I pray that this day we see it to the end. — Chris Hughes is a graduate of the Colony of Mercy and a frequent contributor to Freedom Fighter

Great Quote: “In addition to hurting himself, Demas did great damage to the cause of Christ. In abandoning it, he deprived it of a devoted worker and robbed it of all the good he might have accomplished had he remained faithful. We can only wonder how many lives he could have helped if he had stayed loyal to the Lord.” A Costly Love Affair — Gene Taylor

Sin is a Relationship

Sin is a Relationship

“Against you, you only have I sinned.” Psalm 51:4

This week I read a verse from Psalm 78 that really stuck in my heart: “In spite of all this, they still sinned; despite his wonders, they did not believe.” Psalm 78:32

This passage is telling the story of the children Israel and traces their rebelliousness despite the goodness and faithfulness of God in their lives. David pens this powerfully inditing phrase: IN SPITE OF ALL THIS, THEY STILL SINNED!

We don’t hear much today from the pulpit about sin. In our Christian culture we have changed the names of the the “sin” words from Scripture to make them more culturally correct and more palatable to our ears. Like we have done with other words in our English language to make them more politically correct, we have beautified the tough words of Scripture so that they are not as harsh.

We are so much like the children of Israel. I am so much like them. Even in the times of blessing and seeing God at work, I still find myself sinning. How can I be so stupid?

Paul Tripp addresses this issue in his book WHITER THAN SNOW — Meditations on Sin and Mercy (Crossway):

The desire to be like God rather than serve God lies at the bottom of every sin that anyone has ever committed. Sin isn’t first rooted in a philosophical debate of the appropriateness or healthiness of a certain ethic. No, sin is rooted in my unwillingness to find joy in living my life under the authority of, and for the glory of Another! Sin is rooted in my desire to live for ME. It’s driven by my propensity to indulge my every feeling, satisfy my every desire, and meet my every need …

What David understands from his confession (see today’s verse) is that sin is an act of relationship, or better stated, a violation of the one relationship that’s to be the shaping factor of everything I do or say. EVERY sin is vertical, no matter how thunderous the horizontal implications of sin are. It’s God, for whom and through whom we were created to live, whose boundaries we step over, because we don’t love him the way that we should.

Because sine is about breaking the relationship, restoration of relationship is the only hope for us in our struggle with sin. It’s only because God is willing to love us in a way we refuse to love him that he have any hope of defeating sin.

Sin is a relationship, and it takes relationship to deliver us from sin. Christ was willing to experience the rejection that our rebellion deserves so that we could have the relationship with God that’s our only hope as we grapple with the selfishness of sin.

Has God been pouring out His blessing on you and your family, ministry, job? Despite His goodness and blessing, do you find yourself in the cycle of sin? Let today’s devotional penetrate your heart. Be reminded today that sin IS a relationship! Think about it. — Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s KESWICK

God’s WORD for YOU: Proverbs 9; Isaiah 32-33; Colossians 1

Trust God in the Dark

Trust God in the Dark

Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant? Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God. — Isaiah 50:10

When I was a kid there was a ride on the Boardwalk in Wildwood that was half fun-house, half roller coaster. There were times that you had to walk through several mazes completely in the dark. You couldn’t see your hand in front of you. As a kid, it was scary. The good news was that my Dad was walking in front of us leading the way.

While we couldn’t see anything, we trusted our Dad enough that he would get us through to the end and get us back outside safely. All of a sudden we began to see the light, and when we stepped into the light — wow — how cool was that!

There are times when we go through life when all seems dark. These are the times we need to trust God in the dark. The writer of Streams in the Desert so wonderfully describes this for us today:

What is a believer to do in times of darkness — a darkness of perplexities and confusion — a darkness not of the heart but of the mind? These times of darkness come to a faithful and believing disciple who is walking obediently in the will of God. They come as seasons when he does not know what to do or which way to turn. His sky becomes overcast with clouds, and the clear light of heaven does not shine on his path, so that he feels as if he were groping his way through complete darkness.

Dear believer, does this describe you? What should you do in times of darkness? LISTEN TO THE WORD: “Let him … trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.” Actually the FIRST thing is to do NOTHING. This is a difficult thing for our lowly human nature to do. There is a saying, “When you are rattled, don’t rush.” In other words, when you are confused and do not know what to do, DO NOTHING. When you find yourself in a spiritual fog, do not run ahead, but slow the pace of your life. And if necessary, KEEP YOUR LIFE’S SHIP ANCHORED OR TIED TO THE DOCK!!!

The right thing is simply to TRUST GOD, for while we trust, He can work. Worrying, however, prevents Him from doing anything for us. If the darkness covering us strikes terror in our hearts and we run back and forth, seeking in vain to find a way of escape from the dark trial where God’s providence has placed us, then the Lord cannot work on our behalf.

Only the peace of God will quiet our minds and put our hearts at rest. We must place our hand in His as a little child and allow Him to lead us into the bright sunshine of His love. He knows the way out of the dense, dark forest, so may we climb into HIS arms, trusting Him to rescue us by showing us the shortest and most reliable road.

Remember: We are NEVER without a pilot — even when we do not know which way to steer!

My brother, are you in one of those dark times? Then heed these words: TRUST GOD IN THE DARK! — Bill Welte is President of America’s KESWICK

God’s WORD for YOU: Proverbs 8; Isaiah 30-31; Philippians 4

Great Quote: Never doubt in the dark what God has told you in the light!

Don’t Fear Nathan

Don’t Fear Nathan

” … when Nathan the prophet went to him.” (Title of Psalm 51)

We have all had them at one time or another in our lives. God sends these special servants into our lives who are willing to speak truth into our lives.

Remember the story of King David and his sin of adultery with Bathsheba? God sent Nathan the prophet to confront David with the truth. David could ignored him, run from him, or even had him put to death. But God used Nathan in David’s life to help expose his heart and begin the process of repentance and restoration.

In his book WHITER THAN SNOW — Meditations on Sin and Mercy, Dr. Paul David Tripp describes the legacy of Nathan:

No shouts
No pointed fingers
No flashing eyes
No red-faced accusations
No inflammatory vocabulary
No bulging veins
No derogatory names
No scary threats
No arrows of guilt
No cornering logic
No “how dare you?”
No, “I can’t believe you would!”
No, “What were you thinking?”
No public confrontation
No published rebuke
No arrest warrant
No handcuffs
No leading away to be charged
No list of crimes
No human tricks
No trying to do God’s work
No hope of forcing a turning
No confidence in the power of man
No human manipulation
No political posturing
No, none of these.
Just a humble prophet
Telling a simple story
A sinner with a sinner
Not standing above
Alongside, together
Wanting to be an instrument
Helping to assist a blind man to see
But no trust in self
Speaking calmly
Speaking simply
And letting God
Do through a familiar example
Painted with plain words
What only God can do
Crack the hard-shelled heart
Of a wayward man
And make it feel again
See again
Cry again
Pray again
Plead again
Hope again
Love again
Commit again
To a new and better way.
Not a legacy of
self-righteousness
impatient
condemning
“I’m better than you”
Anger
But the harvest
of a man of GRACE
to a man
Who doesn’t deserve grace
But won’t live again
Without it.

I am thankful for the men that God has brought into my life — those Nathan’s that have come at the right time. Often he uses my wife, Jan, as my Nathan. It takes courage to be a Nathan. A Nathan is someone who REALLY loves and cares enough to confront in love.

Great Quote: When it seems like nothing is happening in our lives, we should consider it a time of preparation. We’re like musicians in an orchestra between movements of a symphony.

We’re ready because we know at any moment the conductor may raise his baton, signaling us to play. — Mary Morrison Suggs

Notify Your Face

1 Peter 3:15 (The New International Version) But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect …

I have been saying for years that we could reach more people for Christ is the radiance of the Christ within us was noticeable on our faces.

Cut me a break — you know it to be true. We stand to sing about the fact that we have joy in our hearts while our faces look like we sucked up pickle juice through our noses with a straw.

We go to the bank, to the post office, to get gas, and some of us never even crack a smile or have an encouraging word to say to those who wait on us.

Now don’t stone me — you know it’s true. You’ve been around those joyless, lifeless Christians. We of all people, the redeemed — should be bursting with joy and that joy ought to be bubbling over to our faces.

I just read a thought provoking quote this weekend from the atheist philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche. He said this to a group of Christians: Yuck, you make me sick! When their spokesperson asked why, he answered, “Because you redeemed don’t look like you’re redeemed. You’re as fearful, guilt-ridden, anxious, confused, and adrift in an alien environment as I am. I am allowed. I don’t believe. I have nothing to hope for. But you people claim you have a Savior. Why don’t you look like you’re saved!”

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! So what about it? That ought to scare the gloomies right out of us and put a smile on your face. Do you have the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in your heart? Then maybe a good way to let the world know that we are REDEEMED by the blood of the Lamb, is to first notify our face. Maybe then they will ask the question: What’s different about YOU?

God’s Loves You

God Loves You …

“See what an incredible quality of love the Father has given (show, bestowed on) us, that we should (be permitted to) be named and called and counted the children of God!” — 1 John 3:1 (The Amplified Bible

God pursues a continuing love relationship with you that is real and personal — is the second principle from the Experiencing God Bible study written by Dr. Henry Blackaby. For some reason this keeps coming up again and again in my reading and study.

My guess is that there is someone reading Freedom Fighters that needs to hear this plain and simple message: God loves you! One of America’s leading theologians was asked what the greatest truth was that he ever heard. His reply was simply this: JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO!

There could be someone reading today’s blog and you are saying, but Bill — you just don’t understand. I’ve done this _______________ or I have don’t that _____________ and there is no way that God could ever love me.

Romans 5:8 declares: BUT GOD COMMENDED HIS LOVE FOR US, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. Note that He loved us while we were still in our sinful condition.

I just read this prayer written by author, Brennan Manning:

Father, because I am loved
and I love
I don’t have to
explain myself to you.
I don’t have to
abase myself before you.
You know all about me,
and you call me friend.
You call me your delight,
You call me your beloved.

Because I am loved
and I am love
I need not lie prostrate
on my face before you.
I am free to run
into the circle of your waiting arms,
to enter the fullness of your embrace,
to be held
safely
strongly
securely
against your heart,

Because I am loved
and I love
I don’t have to worry
about my response or lack of it.
I don’t have to struggle
with my desire to understand.
I don’t have to wrestle
with my feelings of unworthiness.
All I have to do is
be still,
stay close,
and let you love me
into wholeness.

Father, sometimes
it’s the hardest thing
in the world
just to be still,
stay close,
and let you love me.
But because I am loved
and I love,
I try.

Here I am, Father,
Still, for once.
Closer than I’ve ever been.
Waiting.
Accepting.
Wanting.
Love me, Father.

Wow. I trust that resonates with your heart today. My brother — God loves you and is pursuing a love relationship with you! Allow that to fill your soul today. — Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s KESWICK

The God Who is Enough

10/04/200906/05/2012Leave a comment

THE GOD WHO IS ENOUGH

“When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appear to Abram and said to Him, ‘I am Almighty God walk before Me and be blameless.’’ (Genesis 17:1)

God revealed Himself to Abram in a significant way at a strategic time. The promise of a son had been given him many years before. Now when all reasonable hope had vanished, He renewed the promise, using a fresh identifying title for Himself – Almighty God. In previous instances, He was spoken of as God, a translation of the Hebrew word Elohim. That term contained the idea of His power and a possible reference to His triune personality. Now, however, this name is coupled with another description of His character – Almighty.

This word is based on the Hebrew word for breast. It was used to express two ideas. First, it communicated the idea of the breast of a warrior, the key to strength for using a spear or sword. God identifies Himself to Abram as the powerful warrior who could overcome the obstacles and fulfill His promise.

The root word was also used to refer to the breast of a woman and symbolized the source of sustenance for the dependent child. Thus in the one title two precious provisions are combined. God is the overcome and the sustainer for His trusting child. He is the all-sufficient One – the God who is enough. Abram needed that assurance.

This introduction of the Lord was followed by the instruction by the Lord. He said to Abram “walk before Me and be blameless.” Such a command would be fruitless if God had not first presented Himself as the God who is enough. His character became the resource for his fulfilling of the command. The action required is literally, walk face to face with Me. Here is a lesson for our day. We must base our behavior on His sufficiency and not on our ability. The New Testament commentary on this verse is 2 Corinthians 3:5, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.” Pastor Bill A. Raws was the grandson of the founder of America’s KESWICK and served for 50+ years until his homegoing in July 2008.

God’s WORD for YOU: Proverbs 4; Isaiah 20-22; Ephesians 6

Great Quote: To be forged upon the anvil of God’s purpose, to be at once His hammer,His tongs, and His molten iron; to hear words that rend the heart, seevisions that pierce the chest; to be emptied like an urn, again andagain and again until one desires only rest, only an end to therefilling — and to know one cannot live without the refilling. To begiven words that one dare not speak, and to feel those words churningand boiling in the belly until one must speak them aloud, or die. To bedespised, soon or late, by everyone except Adonai — and to desire itso, while hating it. This is to be a prophet. Thom Lemmons

Pressure (Part 2)

Pressure (Part 2)

“He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.” Psalm 18:19

After I blogged yesterday about pressure, I flipped the page of the Keswick devotional, REAL VICTORY FOR REAL LIFE and laughed. I couldn’t believe the poem that followed the reading for October 2nd. Believe it or not, it was called: PRESSURE …

Pressed out of measure and pressed to all length;
Pressed so intensely it seems, beyond all stregnth;
Pressed in the body and pressed in the soul,
Pressed in the mind till the dark surges roll.
Pressure by foes, and pressure from friends.
Pressure on pressure, till life nearly ends.

Pressed into knowing no helper but God;
Pressed into loving the staff and the rod.
Pressed into liberty where nothing clings;
Pressed into faith for impossible things.
Pressed into living a life in the Lord,
Pressed into living a Christ-life outpoured. — Author Unknown

Dr. Jay Kessler, who served as President of Taylor University wrote about pressure in Campus Life magazine:

There are two ways of handling pressure. One is illustrated by a bathysphere, the miniature submarine used to explore the ocean in places so deep that the water pressure would crush a conventional submarine like an aluminum can. Bathyspheres compensate with plate steel several inches thick, which keeps the water out but also makes them heavy and hard to maneuver. Inside they’re cramped.

When these craft descend to the ocean floor, however, they find they’re not alone. When thier lights are turned on and you look through the tiny, thick plate-glass windows, what do you see? Fish!

These fish cope with extreme pressure in an entirely different way. They don’t build thick skins: they remain supple and free. They compensate for the outside pressure through equal and opposite pressure inside themselves.

Christians, likewise, don’t have to be hard and thick-skinned — as long as they appropriate God’s power within to equal the pressure without.

Brother, how are you handling the pressures of life? Press into Him and allow Him to flood your heart and mind with HIS peace. — Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s KESWICK

I Don’t Really Like Pressure … But It IS Necessary

“It was good for me to be afflicted.” Psalm 119:71

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get weary of the constant pressures of life. Sometimes it seems that everything is so difficult. I find myself saying, “Why does it have to be so complicated? Why does it have to be so hard?”

We can tell when God is getting ready to show up to do something spectacular at America’s KESWICK. Days before a conference or an event, it seems like everything goes crazy. The computers and copiers go nuts. Interpersonal relationships begin to surface where little things become big things.

I am sure you can relate the same from your world. A part of God always being at work around us is the awareness that He uses pressures to shape and mold us. We don’t necessarily want to hear that, but He has a way of using the pressure to conform us to His image.

Yesterday I read this from STREAMS IN THE DESERT and it gave me perspective:

Dear believer, do you understand that God may take away your comforts and privileges in order to make you a stronger Christian? Do you see why the Lord always trains His soldiers not by allowing them to lie on their beds of ease but by calling them to difficult marches and service? He makes them wade through streams, swim across rivers, climb steep mountains, and walk many long marches carrying heavy backpacks of sorrow.

This is how he develops soldiers — not by dressing them up in fine uniforms to strut at the gates of the barracks or to appear as handsome gentlemen to those who are strolling through the park. No, God knows that soldiers can only be made in battle and are not developed in times of peace. We may be able to grow the raw materials of which soldiers are made, but turning them into true warriors requires the education brought about by the smell of gunpowder and by fighting in the midst of flying bullets and exploding bombs, not by living through pleasant and peaceful times.

So dear brother, could this account for YOUR situation? Is the Lord uncovering your gifts and causing them to grow? Is He developing in YOU the qualities of a soldier by shoving you into the heat of the battle? Should you not then use EVERY gift and weapon He has given you to become a conqueror? (Charles Haddon Spurgeon)

Oh! but you say, “I don’t know what He will want next.” No, we none of us know that, but we know we shall be safe in His hands. Catherine Booth
