Nuggets of Truth - August 21 2008

Dear Friend,

First of all, I have merged the Bible study mailing list with the Nuggets of Truth mailing list, so everyone will receive notice of new content on ekklesia4him.net; whether articles or studies.

Two new word studies have been posted to the Bible Study Blog and to the list of PDF studies on the main site. They are "Have the rule over" and "Obey."

Now, I would like to say a personal word of caution. Although I am sharing the truths the Lord has so graciously revealed to me, I want to encourage you to search the scriptures and verify for yourself the things I write. I am not an authority on anything so please do not accept without question everything I say. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and He is the one who will lead you into all truth. Yes, He may use me, but I am still human and very prone to making mistakes. Even though I have been called to be a watchman and to sound a warning about the apostasy and deception that is so rampant in the Body of Christ, it is only God in Whom we must put our trust. If I sound "authoritative" in what I write, it comes from having experienced the Lord's heartbreak over the condition of the church, and from having been in the "school of the Holy Spirit." I try to faithfully share what He has shown me from His heart. And the cry of my heart is for ALL to forsake "self" and follow Jesus.

Your servant in search of Truth,
Stella Paterson

Insulting the Spirit of Grace

by Stella Paterson

Almost daily we hear reports of spurious signs and wonders taking place. In some cases, we hear from those who are deceived and desire to “spread the good news.” But in others, we hear from true believers who are deeply grieved at what is transpiring. The pace at which these lying signs and wonders are increasing is both shocking and sickening. The Bible has numerous warnings of the things we now see coming to pass. They should come as no surprise but when the reality of it all “hits home” we often find ourselves voicing, “How can this be? What an insult to the precious Holy Spirit!”

There is something far more insidious we need to consider. It has weighed on my heart ever since I completed “Tried and Found Wanting.” You may ask, “What could be worse than the things going on all around us that cause such devastation in the Body of Christ?” My response is, “Follow along with me; God’s Word holds the answer.”
