Glory Seed Guidelines

Notice – The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.

These daily devotionals are brought to you by Gary Piper, a writer with our Sister Site, Natural Spirit Ministries. TheologyWeb encourages you to visit and support their site.... they have many informative articles which can be discussed right here. If you enjoy Gary Piper's devotionals, please send him an encouraging note or post. We are very appreciative of our partnership with Natural Spirit Ministries and look forward to many more co-ventures.

    Glory Seed Devotional’s 2018 Experiencing Jesus, the Prelude to Life
    Soaring on the Wings of the Holy Spirit
    Shalom!


    I am going to ask you a question, then I am going to answer it for you. Are you able to fly all by yourself with no outside help? “No, I can’t fly without help! Where you going with that question.” Well, actually I am not going anywhere but you are, you are going soaring on the Wings of the Holy Spirit. “Youths may become faint and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who trust in the LORD will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:30–31)

    That reading in Isaiah since finding it has been one of my favorites but I come across another one in Exodus that hints as why God carries us on the Wings of the Holy Spirit. “You have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.” (Exodus 19:4) By the way you might make a note we usually refer to the Holy Spirit as a Dove but in Isaiah the Spirit is referred to as an Eagle.

    I like the reading from Exodus because if we are familiar with the exodus story from Egypt by Moses and the Israelites you’ll understand it is a little more descriptive of why God will fly us on the Wings of Eagles. I am not suggesting any of us will spend 40 years in a desert, but we will have “stuff” that we’ll not be able to endure or overcome it on our own.

    I am sure at some point you’ve become familiar with the Poem “Footprints in the Sand” I am not going to quote the entire reading only the last verse because it too tells of us being carried yet it is also a promise. “He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."

    I want to make one last point in his book Daniel Bush, Undefended: Discovering God When Your Guard Is Down pages 13, 14 gives his own story of being carried. Where is the current of the Spirit running? To which point on the compass is the Spirit of Christ bidding you to come and know him this day? During the months before my move east to China, I clung to the promise the Lord had confirmed on that dark night—“I’ll not drop you.” At the end of myself and the start of his power, I awoke to his presence active in the recollection of and reliance upon his promise, which strengthened and empowered both my thoughts and actions.”

    And remember what God did for Daniel Bush, Moses, and the Israelites He’ll do for you and I as well.

    Happy Soaring!

    “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life…” (John 14:6)

    Grace and PEACE,
    Gary
