Such believers are sadly being guided more by their zeal and reading of past saints than by their personal walk with the Lord and the guidance of the Spirit of God in their lives.","author":"Greg Gordon","tags":["modern-world","problems"],"id":2707,"author_id":"Greg+Gordon"},{"text":"Soon we will be in heaven and that opportunity will be over, let us not regret that we could have loved the brethren more.","author":"Greg Gordon","tags":["brethren","opportunity"],"id":40459,"author_id":"Greg+Gordon"},{"text":"Learning from our mistakes is important to be able to make better choices in the future.","author":"Greg Gordon","tags":["choices","failure","learning","mistakes"],"id":80972,"author_id":"Greg+Gordon"},{"text":"Leaders in the body of Christ must be humble and broken from the Lord’s hand to be truly useful in His kingdom.","author":"Greg Gordon","tags":["body-of-christ","humble","leaders"],"id":83931,"author_id":"Greg+Gordon"},{"text":"Are you full of the Holy Spirit?

When we truly forgive someone, we need to come to the place where we can bless them and desire God’s blessing also on their lives.","author":"Greg Gordon","tags":["forgiveness"],"id":203211,"author_id":"Greg+Gordon"},{"text":"God does not look to find those who are the elites and those who are the most skilled. Rather He looks for the weak and insignificant who trust in Him. God uses broken pots and vessels, He uses imperfect people who trust in a perfect God. Thus all men will know that it is God who has manifested His power and glory through a brother or sister. It is realized then that it was not the work of men but the work of God.","author":"Greg Gordon","tags":["weakness"],"id":337530,"author_id":"Greg+Gordon"},{"text":"God uses nobodies that will trust Him implicitly and fully.","author":"Greg Gordon","tags":["god","trust"],"id":358509,"author_id":"Greg+Gordon"},{"text":"Believers saw it as a holy battle, a spiritual warfare at its height.
