Eleutheria Ministries: Truths From God's Word

This week I had a dream and as I was processing it with Holy Spirit this morning, he not only explained the meaning of the dream but gave me a word for the Bride.   I felt Holy Spirit saying we are heading into a season of “unrest” in the Body of Christ.  God is stirring the hearts of his people.  Those who have deep, close intimacy with him will be drawn deeper.  However, those who do not, will find themselves unsatisfied with things as they “have always been.” Hunger for “more” will increase but without the commitment to intentional intimacy, these will be tempted to turn aside to “other gods”, (I.E. entertainment, worldly lusts/pleasures, money, even other religions).  Following this word, Holy Spirit gave me five keys to maintaining and increasing or developing a life of intimacy with him to prevent “turning aside.” First, we must be intentional about entering the secret place.  What is the secret place?   The place where we get alone wit...

 This morning as I was reading in Genesis 1, I had only made it to verse 4 when I heard the Lord ask, “How did I create?”   My response was, “Through your words, Lord.” His reply, “That is why your words are so important.  They are a creative force, speaking things into the spirit realm.  Your words create whether you recognize it or not.”  Negative, doubt filled words create a negative atmosphere that will impact everything and everyone you encounter.  Everything you touch will be affected by the atmosphere your words create.    In the cartoon Peanuts Cartoons, Pigpen stirs up a dust cloud everywhere he goes.  The atmosphere around him is full of dust and the air is impure.  The same holds true in our lives.  Negative words lead to death.  Even though we cannot see it, those words are bringing a slow death to everything we touch. Constantly negative Christians often wonder why things, “Never go well for me.”  It is t...

Today we will continue talking about keeping our wick trimmed. I will begin with a quick recap of our last lesson. In Luke 10, we saw that Martha was so distracted in serving the Savior that she missed the importance of being with the Savior. We learned that service is not a substitute for intimacy! Additionally, consistency in the life of a believer is built on daily, small, and faithful steps, rather than infrequent intense efforts. We learned that Christ is working in us to maintain a life of consistency, and he will continue this work until the day it is completed when he comes back for His Bride!!! Today we will look at keeping our wick trimmed to improve fuel efficiency. An untrimmed or excessively long wick burns hotter and faster, wasting oil and reducing the overall burn time. As I was seeking the Lord about this section on fuel efficiency I felt drawn to the topic of our prayer life. I want to lay the foundation for this section by giving the definitions to three words t...

Today we will begin talking about keeping our wick trimmed so we can reflect the light of Christ to the world.   In an oil lamp, the wick is the conduit through which the oil travels from the bowl. It is also the wick that is set on fire to provide light to those using the lamp. We will be looking at why is it necessary to keep the wick of an oil lamp trimmed. We will see how these same principles can apply to the life of a believer allowing us to maintain the flow of Holy Spirit to radiate His glory. I have discovered five reason we must keep our spiritual wick trimmed. First, to prevent soot and smoke to maintain the unhindered flow of Holy Spirit’s light. In an oil lamp, untrimmed wicks produce large, smoky, and flickering flames, which create soot that can stain the glass chimney, the lamp, and even the surrounding area. Soot and smoke can hinder the flow of the light and leave a residue on things/people who it contacts. Luke 10:38-42, Now while they were on their way, it...
