The Rules of the Christian Life Produces A Fullness In Christ

The rules of this Ministry seems to keep growing not for the Ministry for me as the Shepherd as I learn and grow I understand more of what is expected from my Father…

2 Timothy 4:1-5 (MEV) 1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word, be ready in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching. 3 For the time will come when people will not endure sound doctrine, but they will gather to themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, having itching ears, 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn to myths. 5 But be self-controlled in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, and prove your ministry.

Colossians 2:6-8 (MEV) 6 As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, and abounding with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest anyone captivate you through philosophy and vain deceit, in the tradition of men and the elementary principles of the world, and not after Christ.

Romans 12:9 (MEV) Let love be without hypocrisy. Hate what is evil. Cleave to what is good.

Back in 1985, I was given a Ministry “Abounding Love Ministry” I thought I knew what God wanted me to do and I took off printing and producing and doing. That went on for about a year and a half or two. Then nothing. I did soul winning classes taught them produced tracts. A Ministry in Glendale AZ now has the tract and the rest is history. However, through the years some verses came to life in me. I do not recall the times however I do know what is expected from them.

Some may think that “Abounding Love Ministries Worldwide” is just here doing what it does on Facebook. “The Prayer Outreach” is a big part of this ministry as is “In God, We Will Trust” and I am sure the growth is not over. Thus come the rules, trust me I dislike them as well however, have learned that they are a necessity.

What is done through these Ministries is done by the calling of our Father and the leading of the Holy Spirit? I am a simple man with simple needs I am not doing this for money or for fame. I am doing it as a calling. I do believe that it is a calling from God our Father. Having the responsibility of a ministry I now understand more what a Pastor goes through with the splits and troubles of a quote-unquote church.

I could never and still do not know who first called those building a church for the building is just that a building. Many people today understand the church as a building. This is not a biblical understanding of the church. The word “church” comes from the Greek word ekklesia which is defined as “an assembly” or “called-out ones.” The root meaning of “church” is not that of a building, but of people. It is ironic that when you ask people what church they attend, they usually identify a building.

So after this thought and studying for the Rules of this Ministry I related to Acts 20:28 (MEV) Therefore take heed to yourselves and to the entire flock, over which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. Being a Shepherd of a Flock is not an easy task it is a work of love that comes from the heart. We have a group of over 11,000 and love plays a very big part.  So taken from an Evangelist Pastor who said if something starts with therefore let us see what it is there for…

Acts 20:22-24 (MEV) 22 “Now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what shall befall me there, 23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me. 24 But none of these things deter me. Nor do I count my life of value to myself, so that I may joyfully finish my course and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. Now we see what it is there for nothing is important to Paul only getting the word of Jesus out and showing other the freedom of the salvation of Christ. Thus I stand with these scriptures… Another part of the Rules of this Ministry Galatians 2:20-21 (MEV) 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God,[a] who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God. For if righteousness comes by the law, then Christ died in vain.

Now I understand Ecclesiastes 1:18 (MEV) For in an abundance of wisdom is an abundance of frustration, and he who increases in knowledge also increases in sorrow. The more you learn the more you understand and with more knowledge comes a lot of sorrow because one sees where people without God is headed. A hard lesson to learn is all are not going to accept a walk with our Father because they are sure they have found something better that only leads to destruction.

Money can not buy your way in nor can lies The truth is Jesus died on a cross and in 3 days walked out of the tomb and now sits at the right hand of The Father interceding for us.

I do hope that this article helps others understand the rules of this Ministry and why they are there.
