In this World, all around the Churches, there are some Incomplete Disciples. It is always not their fault that they are Incomplete Disciples. It could be that after their initial reception of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour that there was no-one to teach them. It could be that their Bible Teachers were ill equipped.

The New Testament has much to say about Spiritual Gifts. If we have any Spiritual Gift, it is for the Glory of God and for the edification of the Church. Here is a very good test of anyone who claims to have a Spiritual Gift: Does it Glorify God? Does it Edify the Church?

---------
Chris. 
Israel had rebelled against the Lord their God. Most of Israel remains in that condition today. The Prayer of the True Church for Israel should be the same Prayer for all the Nations. The greatest need on the Earth today is the need for God. This is the same in all Nations. No one Nation should be given 'special treatment' by the Intercessors. The Great Need of the World today is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We need to always remember this wherever we are and in every situation that we may be in. God loves all people - both small and great!

-------
Chris. 
Many idols are man-made, just like God's People, when they were backsliding, made idols with their own hands. We should not be surprised about idols nor should we admire them. To admire an idol is the same as worshipping an idol. The Bible tells us that God is Spirit and those people who Worship Him worship in Spirit and in Truth.

c)  God will bring with Him.
d)  Those people who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 
(This Second one gives me great assurance: Truly Together With The Lord)
----
Chris.
A Bill of Divorce is a very painful document. Both the person who gives it and the person who receives it are surely in great pain and, sometimes, also in great shame. We can see from the Words that God used He was in so much pain. His people, through their unfaithfulness had caused Him pain. I am sure that, even today, when God's People are unfaithful, we give Him pain.

(Through this Second one I want to be Properly Receiving The Word Of God)
---
The Throne! Every concept we may have about God's Throne in Heaven will surely be both Awesome and Glorious. This means that when we gather as a Church to Worship, the spiritual atmosphere in the Sanctuary should also be Awesome and Glorious. How we enter and exit the Sanctuary is really important.

Chris. 
His Name is called Wonderful Counsellor! This Name reveals to us that one of the desires of God's Heart is to give His People counsel. Our problem is that, sometimes, we can become human counsellor dependant. We should always come to our Wonderful Counsellor and His Word first. It is from there that we can determine if we need further counsel.

It was so, in the history of God's People, recorded here in the Book of Jeremiah, that they refused to listen to and obey God. It seems that, in many parts of this World today, this problem still exists. I believe that God is longing for His People to listen to and obey Him.

If we genuinely love Jesus Christ then we can accept easily the fact that the Father Himself loves us. In my Teaching this week here in beautiful Salem, Oregon countryside, I am dealing with the subject of the Love God has for us. It is so important for us all that we genuinely love Jesus Christ.

Yesterday I travelled from Portland Oregon to Salem Oregon. The whole journey was taken in the pouring rain. Although the US High Way was very busy the time taken in the car was a wonderful time of Blessed Fellowship. As I looked at the many trees and fields that we passed by they all looked so fresh and Blessed because of the rain. I was reminded indeed that drought is not a Blessing.
