A Letter From Paul

In the New Testament we see that Paul sent a recommendation with instructions to Timothy on how to preserve his salvation Paul had written epistles to many of the churches letters full of spirituality and on how to worship he said the Gospel, the Good News will always be the main point the words for one to live by so that to them God may anoint you need to be girded up in order to preserve your faith and watch out for those false teachers and make believers who are always lying in wait Paul wrote this letter of encouragement, support and concern It was a reminder for Timothy to utilize all the knowledge that he'd learn for Timothy was a destined disciple, a child of God from the start he had an inherited belief that was entrenched in his heart so how does anyone measure true faith? do you use a system of scales and weights? faith is a belief based solely on your actions faith is the whole of you and not just a fraction faith is more than just a feeling faith is the state of just believing God gave you a unique skill, a special talent, He gave you a gift It was a show of grace so use it to help others spirits to be lift God gave you power and a great strength to go the distance, to go the entire length depend on the Lord to move and guide you rely on His promises for they are sure and true let go and let God and with your gift be stirred up let the Holy Spirit continue to refill your cup so watch out for those Tates and others like them in the church be aware of the spirit of negativity that around them lurks Old Man Tate is just one big know-it-all Mother Hesitate is always trying to stop and stall Sister Agitate is always trying to stir up some mess Brother Irritate always irksome and no church business can progress Deacon Vegetate sitting in the pew always in the same spot Cousin Imitate always wanting to copy what everyone else has got Trustee Potentate thinks he's the big man on the church scene but the Choir Director Devastate, that's one member who's just plain mean but Facilitate is the only member in the Tate clan who could be a blessing to a spirit-filled man so let the Holy Spirit call to your remembrance all that you've learned you have a gift and a belief system and the spirit to discern God gave you power, love and a sound mind for a reason just don't worry about the Tate clan for they will get theirs in due season
