As Proverbs 18:13 states, “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” As maturing Christians, we should find value in diverse views
challenging us to further study and to be open to additional perspectives. While we may not agree with all the details in each article, we see great value in them. These

BE OF GOOD
COURAGE
T’S A NEW YEAR. And even though the world seems to be trapped in a “down-hill” slide
with ever-increasing velocity, the New Year brings with it a certain amount of “built-in”
optimism. If you have been following world events, you might suspect that there is a bit
of denial infiltrating our perspective.
Our circumstances are never supposed to affect our hope. That is left to a world without God.
The Christian worldview has always been “counter intuitive.” When things are at their worst,
God is at His best. Although our attentions are distracted by the struggle to save the American
dream and to understand how the world is changing, God’s interests have always been directed
toward the individual, not the collective.
To maintain a proper Godly worldview, we must never lose sight of that most valuable datapoint. Kingdoms rise and fall. Political parties ebb and flow. But our God remains the same,
forever.
There are many foreseeable challenges before us in the coming months. Our responsibility to
fight the fight remains, but the outcome is of God’s choosing. Our involvement is required, but
our joy comes from God. In fact, that joy surpasses worldly understanding.
One of our many mottos here is “It’s never been more important to know what is going on in the world.” It remains
true day after day and year after year.
We live in incredibly exciting times. Things are happening
that are quickly leading to the soon-return of our Hope, the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Be of good courage. Maranatha!

AFGHANISTAN PROPOSES TO BRING BACK STONING
Afghanistan’s decision to consider reintroducing public stoning as a punishment has drawn a
sharp rebuke from Human Rights Watch, who says it harks to the time of Taliban rule. “It is
absolutely shocking that 12 years after the fall of the Taliban government, the [Hamid] Karzai
administration might bring back stoning as a punishment.”

NEW COMMENTARY
THE ROYAL PROPHET
Dr. Chuck Missler - Founder
IT IS BY COMPARING THE CLASSIC KING JAMES VERSION WITH THE NEW
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD VERSION ( ISV ) THAT WE GAIN A MORE COMPLETE SENSE OF THE MAJESTIC FLOW OF THOUGHT OF THIS UNIQUE
ROYAL PROPHET.
T
here is a specific prophet that dominates the entire Bible: The Prophet Isaiah. As the “Royal
Prophet,” he served under four kings,1 with a span of future perspective that dwarfs all the
rest. His vocabulary is the most extensive2 and the integrity of his messages constitute a
pillar of apologetic reasoning.
A Target of Controversy
Isaiah’s message was so controversial that the Ashkenazi Jews took
Chapter 53 out of their Bible (the Tenakh). (However, the Sephardic
Jews retained it; and when the Dead Sea Scrolls were ultimately discovered, there was a complete copy of Isaiah—with Chapter 53 right
where it belonged: in the precise center of the second section.)
King Manasseh apparently had Isaiah cut in half. The modern
critics have attempted a similar thing with their “Deutero-Isaiah” theories; however, only to the uninformed. (A careful study of John 12:3840 shatters their profane speculations.)
Elegant Style
The flow of thought—unequalled elsewhere—also led to Handel’s
classic choral masterpiece. We are also now blessed with a proprietary
translation of the Paleo-Hebrew from the Dead Sea Scrolls by the acknowledged expert, Dr. Peter Flint, which is also the cornerstone of the
new International Standard Version Bible (ISV). We paralleled our
expositional commentary with the marvelous flow and rhythms of the
ISV, which very much speak for themselves.
BIO
Dr. Chuck Missler
President/Founder,
Koinonia Institute
After a distinguished military career and more than
30 very successful years
in the corporate business
environment, Chuck was
led to pursue a life-long
endeavor of teaching the
Bible on a full-time basis. He founded Koinonia
House, an organization
devoted to encouraging
people to study the Bible.
He also founded Koinonia
Institute to enable people
to have a Kingdom effect
on the world today.

Messianic Insights
Among many things, Isaiah is also the most Messianic of all
the Old Testament prophets. On every page, we gain a Messianic insight: every Christmas we celebrate the Hebraic parallelism:
“for unto us a child is born; unto us a Son is given.”3 (These are
not synonymous: The child was human and his birth fulfilled in
Bethlehem. The Son was divine, and given at Golgotha.)
For many, the “Holy of Holies” of the entire Old Testament

apart in a special study called The Fulcrum of the Entire Universe.
(See page 42 to order.)
It is also Isaiah that explains the mystery of why Jesus was ostensibly not easily recognized after His resurrection.4 (John’s enigmatic remark in John 21:12 is particularly puzzling!) And Isaiah also provides us with such a clear view of the Millennial Kingdom that it
must certainly embarrass the amillennialists. There are passages that clearly commingle with
the final chapters of the Book of Revelation.5
Cosmological Insights
It is Isaiah’s glimpse that the Creation was not originally “without form and void” (as
implied in Genesis 1:2’s “tohu v’bohu”):
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and
made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am
the LORD; and there is none else. 6
Thus, this hints of a possible interval between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 and, perhaps, an
insight on the fall of Satan, which Isaiah details in Chapter 14.7
Isaiah also confronts the very cutting edge of cosmology as he refers to the “stretching
of the heavens,”8 which challenges the very fabric of space itself. (This, along with the profound implications of the “Zero Point Energy,” will be the subject of subsequent articles
on the very foundations of subatomic physics.)
COVER
CONTENTS
Other Eschatological Insights
It is by comparing the classic King James Version with the new
International Standard Version (ISV) that we gain a more complete sense
of the majestic flow of thought of this unique Royal Prophet. It is in
Isaiah’s description of the ultimate destruction of Babylon which alters
our perspective of what has yet to happen in the Middle East and world
affairs.9 It is in Isaiah’s allusion to the future role of the Sinim (China)10
which further seems to suggest a major global outreach to the Gentiles as
part of the final climax.
Unquestionably, Isaiah
has given us our most
indispensable Old
Testament prophetic
tour de force, and it is
replete with exegetical
discoveries and
hermeneutic treasures.
A Personal Letter
The Book of Isaiah also
includes a personal letter from
God to Cyrus the Great (written over a century before he was
born), calling him by name and
providing so many anticipated
details of his career that it
moved him to free the Jewish
captives to return to their land.
That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure:
even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.11
For the Connoisseur
Unquestionably, Isaiah has given us our most indispensable Old
Testament prophetic tour de force and it is replete with exegetical discoveries and hermeneutic treasures. (It was Isaiah that revealed that the
Pharaoh of the Exodus was not an Egyptian.12)
The Holy Spirit always rewards the diligent. When you want to
feed on the Word of God, prepare yourself for a gourmet meal. It will be
uniquely rewarding (and life-changing!).

Isaiah was the most comprehensive of all prophets:
his writing spans the entirety of history, from the creation of the world to the creation of “a new heavens
and new earth.” No other prophet matches his majestic eloquence on the glory of God and the redemptive work and sufferings of the Coming Messiah, all
the while making us clearly aware of God’s abounding
Grace.

P
REPARING FOR DISASTERS INVOLVES MORE THAN JUST FOOD AND FUEL. IN TIMES
OF TROUBLE, WHAT KIND OF WITNESS WILL WE BE?
The year 2013 was a year of disasters. Typhoon Haiyan (the most powerful tropical
cyclone to make landfall in recorded history) dominated the headlines as the year closed, as
reports came pouring in from the Philippines with accounts of desolation throughout the
country. The United States is still picking through the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. This disaster caused over $US 67 billion in the United States, Canada, Cuba,
and several Caribbean countries.
Man also has the capability of taking actions with disastrous consequences. In fact, the
Obama Administration has euphemistically called acts of terror, “man-made disasters.”
Whether natural or man-made, most people are not prepared for a disaster. In fact, the
Red Cross’s 2013 World Disasters Report came to the following conclusion:
We have learned from major disasters. … We must continue to improve and innovate to make
disaster preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery more effective and accountable.
COVER
CONTENTS
While governments plan (sometimes poorly) for disasters, individuals have the ultimate responsibility for their own welfare and that of
their family. The first thing that needs to be determined is “How much
of a risk is there from a disaster?” Risk, however, is more than just what
the odds are that an event will occur. For risk analysts, risk is reduced
to a quasi-equation:
Risk = Threat x Vulnerability x Impact
Risk is a combination of all three factors. For there to be any risk
there must be at least some threat and vulnerability and impact. If any
of these three factors is zero, then there is no risk. Of course, everything has an element of threat, vulnerability or impact, so everything
carries some sort of risk. Those that demand that an initiative—be it a
nuclear power plant, a new drug, or a social program—carry absolutely
no risk believe in a fantasy.

Take the dangers from an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP). An
EMP is a high-intensity burst of electromagnetic energy caused by the
rapid acceleration of charged particles.
Nuclear weapons, some new non-nuclear weapons, and even
geomagnetic storms (often called space weather) can power an EMP,
and the resultant changing magnetic field in the Earth’s atmosphere can
disrupt electrical systems. An EMP can generate
an electromagnetic shock
that can disrupt anything
with a computer chip in it,
such as those found in communication systems.
The pulse can flow through electrical transmission lines, overloading and damaging transmission distribution centers, fuses, and power lines,
rendering equipment permanently inoperative.

Many writers immediately call this an “Armageddon
event,” where a single EMP can throw a large portion of
a country back into the 18th century. The Risk Equation
yields a slightly different answer.
The Threat from an EMP is certainly out there. A
nuclear missile detonated 120 miles up in the air would
send out an EMP that would extend out 1,000 miles from
the center of detonation. There are several countries that
are capable of doing it. Russia and China definitely have
the weapons and delivery systems that can launch such an
attack. Other countries, such as North Korea and Iran
claim to have the capability, but it is doubtful they have both the weaponry and delivery systems to deliver such an attack. So, in this case, the Threat is deemed to be moderate to high.
The Vulnerability to such an attack is variable. The threat of an ICBM (intercontinental
ballistic missile) attack from China or Russia is deemed low—both would fear a retaliatory
strike. North Korea says it has the capability, but an analysis of the “nuclear” tests it has conducted is suspect. Iran, while not believed to have this

cated along the United States coastlines. This is not a
sure defense and open to criticism from military analysts. Many would deem U.S. vulnerability
to attack to be low to moderate.
The Impact from such an event has varied over time. Strategic military assets would
suffer a low impact from such an event. They have been “hardened” against such an attack
for years. Tactical military assets used to be hardened very well, but recent budget cuts have
reduced their resistance to an EMP. Strategic civilian assets, such as the national power grid,
would suffer significant damage from an EMP, but government and industry are taking steps

to mitigate any adverse effects. Consumer electronics would suffer the worst effects from
an EMP and very little has been done to protect these devices. The impact of an EMP would
thus be rated at moderate to high.
All three components of risk make for a risk that is deemed moderate. For an EMP generated from a nuclear device, what is deemed to be the most likely scenario is a missile launch
from a container ship where the missile’s trajectory would be low and flat, so to best avoid
antimissile defenses. In this scenario, a detonation
would occur much lower than 100 miles in altitude.

different answer.
Preparing for a Regional Disaster
A regional disaster is still something to worry about. The damage resulting from Hurricane Katrina that hit the United States in August 2005 is a good example of a regional disaster.
While news reports left the impression that New Orleans suffered all the damage and other
areas just received a lot of rain, the facts show something else entirely. Katrina was the costliest
natural disaster in the history of the United States. At least 1,833 people died in the hurricane
and its aftermath making it the deadliest U.S. hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. It also caused an estimated $81 billion in property damage. Entire towns were wiped off
the map.
While parts of the United States suffered no ill effects, for those caught in the storm, it
was the End of the World. The resultant case study revealed what happens to a population
when their world is turned upside down, and they are left totally unprepared.
Preparing Spiritually
While many talk about
how to prepare for a disaster, they mainly talk about
taking care of physical
needs. Very little attention
is paid to how to spiritually
and psychologically prepare
for such an event.

The hurricane and subsequent flood victims suffered from psychological disorders, such
as PTSD2 long after the waters receded and the rebuilding began. People experienced all sorts
of emotions—they had feelings of panic, a loss of control, anger and despair. Many felt disoriented along with a high degree of anxiety.
The images we saw on TV were not those of people maddened by hunger and thirst, but
those of people wading through water clutching boxes of goods that are clearly not for immediate consumption. There were pictures of people looting stores not for food, but for beer,
televisions, clothes and other nonessentials.
This irrationality showed up in other ways as well. Rescue helicopters were fired on by
those they were trying to save. A pediatric hospital was attacked by roving gangs looking
for whatever drugs they could find. This disaster scratched off that “thin veneer of civilization” and revealed that ruthless element of society that wants to protect itself and the unaccustomed power they found they had. Federal

number of reasons people attribute to this behavior.
The ultimate reason for the resulting chaos can be explained this way:
Where there is no vision, the people perish: But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)
When people do not have a moral compass, more importantly, a Biblical one, it is easy
to fall into lawlessness and misery. One that lives by a moral code is much more likely to
come through adversity much better than those that live in a world of relativism and situational ethics.
What Kind of Witness Will We Be?
Disasters like Katrina should make us think, as Christians, what would we do in such a
situation? Opinions on this range from giving those in need everything you can, to defending
what you have to save yourself and your loved ones, even if that means resorting to violence.
COVER
CONTENTS
Many people talk in generalities about preparing for a disaster,
some take concrete steps, but what many individuals, families and
churches do not talk about is what their Christian witness would be
in such an event.
Assuming you are one that does not have a cabin in the wilderness away from civilization, what would you do? Imagine a scenario
where you have prepared for a disaster that has come and your family
is taken care of. But six months after the event, you are relatively well
fed and your neighbors, who are still alive, are skeletal. They are going
to figure out that you have something they want and they will come
for it. What will you do? Is prepping in and of itself the way? Some
people equate prepping with building your own “fortified city” as
was built in Biblical times.
In fact, the Bible says a lot about fortified cities. It notes that
fortified cities are a means of protection3 and they are mighty and
strong.4 It also says they are conquerable and utterly destroyed.5 In
Hosea we read that fortified cities are no substitute for God.
Israel has neglected its maker in building palaces. Judah has multiplied
its fortified cities, but I will send fire to their cities, and it will consume
their fortresses.
Hosea 8:14 (ISV)
While we are also admonished to be good stewards of what we
have and to prepare for hard times, here in Hosea we learn that if we
put all our trust in the things of this world and forget God, we are
bound to fail. So, the question is, in times of trouble, what kind of
witness will we be? How will we face adversity? What will YOU do?

Koinonia Institute’s Annual Conference
This year’s Strategic Perspectives Conference in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho contained some
“firsts”: In addition to the individual presentations that have been the hallmark of the
conference in previous years, panel discussions were added to the format and were well
received. Also, the Koinonia Institute awarded earned Gold Medallions for the first time to
members of the Institute. Many of them have been working on this goal for over six years.
Underlining the fact that the Institute is truly a worldwide ministry, the awardees came
from Australia, Canada, and the United States.

Israel Tours Coming in 2014 (Led by Dan Stolebarger)
School of Discipleship – February 6 – March 6: This experience will seek to provide
some serious “God Time.” We will be spending approximately one week in the desert, then
a week in Jerusalem, then a week up in the Galilee, ending with a week making our way to
Haifa, then down to Caesarea and Netanya. This will be a “Hebraic” type of experience,
one that includes conversational teaching as we traverse the Land together rather than in a
classroom setting with pre-recorded materials. Our desire will be to provide an experiential
type of learning. We will not just have lessons on prayer and fasting; we will actually be incorporating these disciplines coinciding with our studies. Our ultimate goal will be to “See
the Land, Hear the Land and also to Serve the Land.” Since the first trip sold out so quickly,
we will add a second trip in June 2014.
Talmidim Tour – March 9 – 21: This is our “giving back” to Israel – a true Genesis 12
experience. This “tour” travels via two vans, and the focus is on WORK. We will be working
with Helping Hands Coalition, who ministers to Holocaust Survivors. We also will be refurbishing bomb shelters. Talmidim is an “invitation only” tour, and we only accept those who
have been to Israel already.

Berean Tour – March 23 – 31: This is geared toward those who have never been to Israel before and is

FINANCIAL TURMOIL PART 2

Gateway Church
NAVIGATING FINANCIAL
UNCERTAINTY
THE FOLLOWING SEVEN BIBLICAL FINANCIAL INSIGHTS WILL HELP YOU NAVIGATE TODAY’S—AND TOMORROW’S—FINANCIAL TURMOIL.
N
o matter where we live in the world or whatever generation God has
chosen to place us, we will experience financial uncertainty.
Thank goodness for timeless divinely inspired Scriptures that
tell us how to live.
Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as
you have. For He Himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Hebrews 13:5
The following seven Biblical financial insights will help you navigate today’s—and tomorrow’s—financial turmoil.
1. Understand God Owns It All
Understand God owns it all—we are only stewards. When this
message sinks from our mind to our heart, it is a relief. God really
owns everything and gives time, talent and treasure to us for the season of our short life to manage for the glory of His Kingdom.
2. Determine your Kingdom Allegiance
Remember Jesus’ Words in the Sermon on the Mount:
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love
the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot
serve God and wealth.
Matthew 6:24

I wonder if Jesus had the words of Joshua
in mind as he gave His message? Joshua challenges Israel in the same way.
And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord,
choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,
whether the gods which your fathers served that
were on the other side of the River, or the gods of
the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for
me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15 (NKJV)
The challenge is to decide whom we will serve. It’s the exact same challenge for us today.
God or money. God or possessions. When opposed to each other, God or country? Who will
you serve? Many times the result of losing money or even the threat of losing money is a revelation that MONEY was really your god. Choose wisely, my friends. We cannot serve both.
3. Practice Generosity
Practice generosity—God is a generous God. “For God so love the world he gave...”
(John 3:16). It is His nature to be generous. An open hand
Understand God

to be more like God. In the midst of financial uncertainty, is

are only stewards.
The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will
also be watered himself.
Proverbs 11:25 (NKJV)
4. Avoid the Use of Debt
Debt limits future opportunities because of previous decisions. Debt also places us in a
servant/lender relationship.
The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender.
Proverbs 22:7 (NKJV)

CONTENTS
ORDER
With economic uncertainty
around the corner I believe it is
downright foolish to be in debt. I
know this sounds harsh, but I mean
to motivate, not condemn. Get out
of debt as quickly as possible while
preparing for the future.
5. Create Margin By Living
Under your Income
My family has been on a quest to create maximum margin in our finances. The more
margin, the more options. Systematically analyze every monthly expenditure. Is it a need,
want, or desire? Many of the items, like the cable bill, we cut and have not been missed. Every situation is different. God will guide you with specific wisdom in the creation of margin.
6. Save
I like the way the Amplified Bible translates the following verse:
The financial order of
using money should be
to give first, then save,
then spend.
There are precious treasures and oil in the dwelling
of the wise, but a self-confident and foolish man
swallows it up and wastes it.
Proverbs 21:20 (Amplified Bible)
The financial order of using money should
be to give first, then save, then spend. Creating a
lifestyle of saving will yield margin for today and security for tomorrow. What vehicle do I
recommend for saving? That is another article for another time, but I leave you with this.
Practice Solomon-style investing, the richest man in the world’s advice is found here. Diversify, diversify.
Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
Ecclesiastes 11:2 (KJV)

7. Build Your Eternal Investment Portfolio
If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, wood, hay or straw, their work will be
shown for what it is, because The Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire and
the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder
will receive a reward. If it is burned up the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even
though as one escaping through the flames.
1 Corinthians 3:12-15
The way we live today determines our eternal rewards and treasure in heaven. No matter
what we do financially, make it the top priority to walk down the middle of God’s Will for
your life. To build a man-centered big kingdom of sand is still just a temporal kingdom of
sand. As a seasoned eternal investor, keep focused on the true return in the Kingdom of God.
There are days of economic uncertainty ahead, just as there always have been. The severity of the turmoil is in the hands of our loving Father. No matter the future, join me in seeking the Kingdom of GOD and loving the lost and
reaching them with the Good News of our Lord
Christ Jesus.

journey, see my book, Generous Life Journey.

ONCE AGAIN THE FOG
IS LIFTING
THIS YEAR WE ARE SEEKING THE LORD IN REGARDS TO STARTING A REGULAR
WEEKLY ONLINE BROADCAST, WHICH WE ARE TENTATIVELY CALLING “THE
KOINONIA INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP.”
O
ver eight years ago I left a large church in San Diego to become part of a new revolution. My
gut (okay—probably the Holy Spirit) was telling me that God was leading me to
a new type of ministry that had never been done before. So, I made the move and
hitched my wagon to Chuck Missler and K-House and began
this “new” work.
BIO
Early Planning at Koinonia Institute
Even today I can remember the times that Chuck and I would
spend in his office “plottin’ and schemin’,” at least that’s what we called
it, but in reality I can see that it was really us seeking the mind of the
Lord! In the early days we often spoke about the fog lifting and then
we relished a new-found clarity.
Over the weeks and months we discovered the “three pillars” the
Lord had given to us and these pillars are what we used as a foundation
to build what we now call Koinonia Institute. Things seemed to be going at warp speed back then and Chuck and I often quipped, “There
they go and we’re their leaders!”
Now, as KI was being formed we were very cautious not to present
ourselves as a replacement for the Church; we truly saw the Institute as
a supplement to the Church.
The Role of Small Groups
As I look back at the time I served at a mega-church in San Diego,
I can now see some of the seeds that God used to plant KI. We were a

the Executive Pastor as well as the pastor overseeing all of our Small Groups.
Chuck could truly see that we were committed to building Small Groups, as we coined the
phrase that our church was a church that was made
up of Small Groups! We knew the power of these
small groups and how the Lord was using them
to assist in growing passionate Talmidimers (Disciples).
With the Small Group revolution as a backdrop, along with Chuck’s past experiences in
Home Fellowships, he recorded a Topical Study
called The Once and Future Church. Here’s what
Chuck has to say about this teaching:

online classes! We then added weekly quizzes and a
comprehensive final to complete the course.
Last was the question of how to grade. We then came up with the following grading
scale: Discussion Question participation = 25%; weekly quizzes = 25%; and Comprehensive
Final = 50%.
The amazing thing to remember is this was being done entirely on the Internet. Hundreds began to see the value of this and thousands of folks have joined Koinonia Institute
over the years, and to date it is staggering to think that we have awarded over 2300 Bronze
Medallions!

One thing that has stuck in my mind was that when we were beta testing some of these
early classes I would do an exit survey and was stunned to find that one of the things that our
students enjoyed the most were the Discussion Questions! The reason? Because they found
other folks that had similar passions and were like-minded! I guess it was a kind of a validation that they weren’t weird! Part of it was because others had some of the same concerns
regarding their church experiences; they really didn’t want to leave but they could see their
church being compromised and slipping towards the things of the world. Even though we

So, this year we are seeking the Lord in regards to starting a regular weekly online broadcast, which we are tentatively calling The Koinonia International Fellowship.
One of our goals will be to include at least three segments into this weekly service: a
Berean devotional, an Issachar Report and then get a glimpse of those who are “doing it” as
we highlight a Koinonos practicum.
Again, just like back at the beginning we are praying for clarity, but as I reflect back, the
words of Chuck Missler continue to ring in my ears “the church began in homes and may
one day end in homes!”
What we are planning is the “next step” in creating an intentional online global Fellowship of like-minded Believers that are passionate about Discipleship!
As I am writing I hear the lyrics from a song from way back saying (or I guess praying)
these words:
“The church began in
homes and may one
day end in homes.”
Bind us together, Lord bind us together with cords that
cannot be broken!
Bind us together, Lord bind us together with cords
of love!
And as Solomon wrote:
Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is
not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:12
Please keep this endeavor in your prayers and keep your eyes open.

In 1921, two young missionary couples in Stockholm, Sweden, received a burden to
go to the Belgian Congo (which is now Zaire). David and Svea Flood (along with their
two-year-old son) joined Joel and Bertha Erickson to battle insects, fierce heat, malaria and
malnutrition. But after six months in the jungle, they had made little or no contact with the
native people. Although the Ericksons decided to return to the mission station, the Floods
chose to stay in their lonely outpost. Svea was now pregnant and sick with malaria, yet she

You allow this? We came here to give our lives, and now my wife is dead at 27! All we have
to show for all this is one little village boy who probably doesn’t even understand what we’ve
told him. You’ve failed me, God. What a waste of life!”
David Flood ended up making drastic “emotional choices”: he chose to leave his new
daughter with the Ericksons; he took his son back home with him to Sweden; and, from
then on, he never allowed the name of God to be mentioned in his presence. His little girl
was raised in the Congo by an American missionary couple, who named their adopted
daughter “Aggie.”
Throughout her life, Aggie tried to locate her real father, but her letters were never answered. She never knew that David Flood had remarried and fathered four more children,
and she never knew that he had plunged into despair and had become an alcoholic. But
when she was in her forties, Aggie and her husband were given
round-trip tickets to Sweden, and
while spending a day’s layover
in London, the couple went to
hear a well-known black preacher
from the Belgian Congo.
After the meeting, Aggie

led me to the Lord when I was a little boy.”
Aggie was ecstatic to learn that her mother’s
only convert was being mightily used to evangelize Zaire, and he was overjoyed to meet the
daughter of the woman who had introduced
him to Christ.
When Aggie arrived in Sweden, she located her father in an impoverished area of
Stockholm, living in a rundown apartment
filled with empty liquor bottles. David Flood
was now a 73-year-old diabetic who had had
a stroke and whose eyes were covered with
cataracts, yet when she identified herself, he
began to weep and apologize for abandoning her. But when Aggie said, “That’s okay, Daddy, God took care of me,” he became totally
enraged.
“God didn’t take care of you!” he cried. “He ruined our whole family! He led us to Africa and then betrayed us! Nothing ever came of our time there, and it was a waste of our
lives!”
That’s when Aggie told him about the black preacher she’d just met in London, and how

aspect of our existence, and there is no sorrow so great that He cannot somehow “recycle” it to bring
forth a blessing. The deciding factor, however, is our own choice to release God to work.
Nothing Shall Separate Us
The above story exemplifies that when we choose to follow our own feelings and desires
over God’s will, we quench His Spirit in us. This, then, blocks His Love not only from flowing through us to others, but also hinders us from experiencing His Love personally.
Psalm 119:70 explains this further. It says that when we make emotional choices, our
hearts become “fat as grease” (like kitchen lard!). This grease, then, not only clogs, chokes
out and quenches any communication or personal leading from God, it also causes us to
become insensitive and unfeeling towards others.
The Bible tells us that
James describes this as the “pure water” of God’s
Spirit getting blocked off and coming out “bitter.”
“sin” is anything we

It’s interesting to note that in a real life situthat is “not of faith.”
ation, when you put grease or fat on a physical

burn, you not only make that area insensitive and
resistant to healing, you also cause a scar to be formed in its place. Sin and self are just like
that grease—they not only make us insensitive and resistant to God’s leading, they also leave
scars on our lives. In other words, we always reap the consequences of our wrong choices, as
clearly seen in the above story about Aggie.
What Is Sin?
The Bible tells us that “sin”
is anything we choose to do or
believe that is “not of faith.”
(Romans 14:23) Now, if we are
Christians who sin, God remains
in our hearts, but His Spirit will
be quenched and thus, His Life in
our hearts is blocked from coming forth.
When I used to think of sin,

5:19-21 and I could say, “Hey, I’m really okay. I
don’t do those kinds of things!” But, then I came
across a little book called The Calvary Road by Roy
Hession that changed my life.
In this little book, there is a list of subtle things
that cover our hearts and separate us from God’s
Life just as much as the big ones of Galatians 5.

oversensitivity, criticalness, resentfulness, worry,
grumbling, bossiness, self-complacency, self-energy, selfseeking, self-indulgence, and self-consciousness.
The above list describes sins that quench God’s
Spirit and cover our hearts just as much as the “biggies” of Galatians 5. These “little sins” cover our
hearts with grease, form a barrier or a blockage and
prohibit God’s Life from being experienced, not
only personally, but also through us to others.
An Example: “Could I Borrow Some Money?”
Joanne was a hairdresser in a Christian salon and a total perfectionist. She never could
stand any untidiness or messiness in her booth. She befriended Susie, a Christian who
worked in the booth next to hers. Susie was a single mom, who out of necessity (when her
baby-sitter did not show up) brought her two little children to work with her. Of course,
the kids often brought crackers and cookies, and before long the whole place became a total
disaster.
Joanne tried to put up with this situation for a while. She smiled and pretended everything was fine, even sometimes taking care of Susie’s children. But after months of the inconvenience and the mess, she unknowingly allowed deep roots of bitterness to grow.
Like many of us, Joanne didn’t realize that when we don’t deal with our real negative
thoughts and emotions right away, they form a barrier (grease) over our hearts and can become the motivation for many of our actions.
One day while out shopping, Joanne ran into Susie who was trying to buy some clothes.
Susie’s estranged husband was coming over the next night for a visit, and Susie was hop-

ing there might be a
chance for a reconciliation. When Susie went
to pay for the clothes,
however, the cashier for
some reason couldn’t
take her credit card. She
didn’t have any cash in
her purse, so she quickly
turned to Joanne and
asked, “Please, could I
borrow some money? I’ll
pay you back at work in the morning.”
Before Joanne could even think, she responded with, “No, I’m really sorry, but...” and
then she made up some feeble excuse for why she couldn’t loan Susie the money. Joanne actually had plenty of money in her purse, but because her heart was so clogged by resentment
and bitterness, she reacted out of that grease, rather than God’s Love.
Susie responded, “Oh, I understand. I was

money, because she had plenty in her purse. Guilt
and shame consumed her. She finally went to the
ladies’ room to regain her composure. In the bathroom, she wept, asking the Lord to forgive
her. He exposed the bitterness and resentment that she was still harboring in her heart against
Susie for always bringing her children to work. Joanne thanked God for revealing the truth,
chose to confess and repent of it and then, to give it over to the Lord, knowing that He
would forgive her and cleanse her.
When she left the bathroom and went back into the store, she saw Susie’s pile of clothes
still sitting there on the counter. Prompted by the Holy Spirit, she bought the clothes as a gift

for Susie. When Joanne went to work the next morning, she told Susie the whole story, asked
her forgiveness and then gave her the “love gift” out of her heart. Once again “the sweet
fountain water” of God’s Life in Joanne’s heart was able to flow. (James 3:10-11) When we
daily wash our hearts with that cool, fresh, running water of God’s Word by confessing, repenting, and giving our sins to God, our sin and our self will not only be washed away, but
no scars will be left!
Chain Reaction of Our Soul
One of the more interesting things I learned when I was writing Be Ye Transformed is
that there is a natural mental and emotional “chain reaction” in each of our souls. In other
words, if we could peel back the outer layer of our soul, we would see that our thoughts trigger our emotions; our emotions then stir up our desires; and, our desires produce our actions.
In other words, every action we take really comes from four split decisions. Since our
thoughts are the first to be triggered in this chain-reaction, God puts great emphasis on them
throughout Scripture. He knows that if we can catch the negative thoughts when they first
occur, then we’ll be able to stop the whole chain reaction before it even begins. And thus, we
might be able to prevent some of the sin before it occurs in our lives.
What happens, however, when we don’t take every thought captive is that we end up
being carried on by the “tide of emotion” (that chain reaction), quenching God’s Spirit, and
then His Life in our hearts is thwarted. This is why 2 Corinthians 10:5 exhorts us to: “...
bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” In other words, we are to stop
and examine the thoughts
we have. Now, obviously, we
can’t examine every thought
we think, but we can stop
and take a good hard look
at the angry thoughts, the
hurtful thoughts, the fearful
thoughts, etc. Any thought
that takes away our peace is a
thought that God wants us to
“take captive” and to examine.

CONTENTS
ORDER
If we’re unable to catch the negative thoughts before they stir up our emotions, then perhaps we can spot the wild emotions before they become out-of-control desires and before they
become actions. Obviously, it’s like splitting hairs to examine this chain reaction, but it’s imperative that we, at least, see its domino effect.
When Are Thoughts “Sin”?
Technically we are not responsible for the first, original self-centered or ungodly
thought: it’s what we choose to do with that thought that produces the sin or not. If we can
recognize the negative thought and choose to immediately give it over to God, then we’ll not
have sinned. However, if we entertain, mull over and follow what those thoughts are prompting, then it will be sin and we’ll end up with a layer of grease over our hearts.
It’s interesting because, even if we do nothing with our negative thinking, it still will end
up quenching God’s Spirit and eventually be buried in the hidden part of our soul. It’s absolutely
Only choosing by faith
impossible to stand still in our walk with God;
to do God’s will, regardwe are either moving forward with Him or falling
less of how we feel or
behind. Ephesians exhorts us to:
what we think, will allow
us to be overcomers.
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of
your mouth, but that which is good to the use of
edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God,
whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger,
and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to
another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
Ephesians 4:29-32
Only faith choices will allow us to walk in the above Scripture. Humanly speaking, it’s
impossible! Choosing to walk by our own sight and our own feelings will never cut it. This is
not what the Christian life is all about! Only choosing by faith to do God’s will, regardless of
how we feel or what we think, will allow us to be overcomers.
