" Grace-Gift "

inspired by:

The Grace-gift experience is one of the hardest things to except for a human being.
It tells us that without, we are unworthy, incapable, powerless and short of the mark.
Acceptance of Grace results in thankfulness and inner peace.

" The woman at the well "

inspired by:

John 4

In an unusual situation at the water well we see Jesus stooping down to a non Jewish woman's level in order to lift her out of her mire, placing her in His Kingdom.
In turn she activates an entire village.

" The woman at the well 2 "

inspired by:

John 4

She thought she had all her religious facts in a row, not realizing she was short of the living life experience which was about to change her entire life and surroundings.

" The woman at the well 3 "

inspired by:

John 4

Jesus tells the woman at the well that worshiping the Father will not depend on a place or time.
Instead the Father is seeking those who worship Him in spirit and in truth.
These attributes are only found in those who are governed by and placed in Christ.

"The Ecclesia (Assembly)"

The real flock are those who are able to hear His voice Jesus says.
The church is not necessarily the flock of Christ, but can contain it.
Sometimes we can see the Ecclesia (assembly) of the flock within the organized church-body.
Another large part of the flock are grazing in perfect peace outside the structured church.

" Anointed "

inspired by:

Hebrews 1 vs 9

You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity, therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows."

" Outside the Camp "

inspired by:

Hebrews 13:12-14

..... Jesus also died outside the city, in order to purify the people from sin with his own blood.
Let us, then, go to him outside the camp and share his shame.
For there is no permanent city for us here on earth; we are looking for the city which is to come.
