2 Timothy 1:6-7 (GWTransl)You received a gift from God when I placed my hands on you ?to ordain you?. Now I’m reminding you to fan that gift into flames. God didn’t give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment.
Should we be emotional?
Proverbs 29:11 (GWTransl)A fool expresses all his emotions,
but a wise person controls them.
We must have these types of leaders in the church
1 Timothy 3:2-5 (NKJV)A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);
1 Timothy 3:12 (NKJV)
Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

Why Does Pastor John Fullerton MacArthur Seem To Hate Christians?
The beauty of the church of God built by Jesus the Anointed is the diversity. Not ‘diversity’ in terms of the sexual perversion the world tries to flog today. Diversity in that there are many people with many different types of personalities as well as giftings and callings.
God is so gracious. When we get off He corrects us. If we are like David, and correct ourselves we are back on God’s path for our lives. If we ignore, we are stepping outside of God’s will.
I don’t know much about John MacArthur other than he is a pastor, publishes a lot of books, and is more of a religious guy who doesn’t like Spirit-filled Christians or shall we say, Spirit-filled Jesus people. He doesn’t believe in signs or wonders, so you’d never see me in a church like that.
Indeed God is gracious. When someone says they are a prophet we should always be careful, it seems that God did indeed send someone to warn John about attacking Jesus people and the move of the Holy Spirit. We know from Acts with Ananias and Sapphira, you can’t work against the Holy Spirit and expect to continue.
This video of a ‘prophet’ warning John MacArthur really gets you thinking. He speaks with a Scottish accent and may have come from far and really felt that God wanted him to deliver that message.
Generally, it’s best to avoid John MacArthur’s materials as it comes from a Calvinist perspective. They see God as always angry and judgmental. Maybe because that is the way they are? However, God is not like that now. Judgment will come.
Let’s be praying for John that he will have know Jesus personally and be filled with the power and presence of the Holy Spirit so he will be able to lead the people in his circle to God and not away from the Kingdom.
God Is Moving In Tokyo- Coming To Jesus
It has been very cool, last Sunday three people came to Jesus. The Sunday before (13 Sept 2015), 2 people came to Jesus and three people we’re baptized in the Holy Spirit. I didn’t even arrive at Victory until nearly 3 hours after the service started. Praise God! The power of the Holy Spirit is changing Japan.
What has God got planned for this week? I can’t wait to get to Victory Sunday!
God wants all people to come to Him
1 Timothy 2:3-5 (NKJV)For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
It’s All About Jesus
1 Timothy 1:17 (NKJV)Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

We Come In The Word And With Holy Spirit Power
1 Thessalonians 1:5 (NKJV)For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.
If your church is just about tradition and meetings, then you’re missing the point. Our Christian life is about the Word of God, and of power. That power only comes by the Holy Spirit. That’s not something that ended in the early church. The power of the Hoky Spirit is how we live today. Every day. Praise God.
