Becoming One: The Flow of Giving Energy

Image
📖 Scripture Focus “Above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect unity.” Colossians 3:14 (ESV) “The glory that You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one even as We are one.” John 17:22 (ESV) 🌤 Opening Reflection Becoming one is not about losing ourselves — it is about discovering who we truly are when God’s love flows freely between us. Scripture calls us into a unity that mirrors the very heart of the Trinity: a shared life, a shared light, a shared energy. Writers like those in The Celestine Prophecy describe this as the difference between giving energy and taking energy . And while the book is not Scripture, it names something Scripture has always taught: when we give life, we grow; when we take life, we shrink. 🔍 Insight or Revelation 1. Giving Energy: The Way of the Spirit In The Celestine Prophecy , giving energy means offering presence, encouragement, attention, and love without demanding anything in ...

The Acts Church: A Spirit-Led Model for Today’s Believers (Edited 1/2/2026)

Image
Edited 1/2/2026 I have been thinking about this post. I am getting lazy and have been looking for AI to create my final post, correct my mistakes, and make it look pretty, but I am noticing that it is taking me away from my original thoughts.  Back to my original thoughts:  I think we can glean important concepts from the Acts church that we can use in our communities, but I think some things should be different.  When the Acts church started, it consisted of the apostles and followers of Jesus during his public ministry of about three to three and a half years. They heard his teachings, saw with their own eyes' the miracles he performed. They were all witnesses to the prophecies, verifying that he WAS/IS the Messiah. They were, in essence, all in the kingdom of God, Father God's kingdom.  We no longer have these people with us, but their stories were passed on in writings and by word of mouth. The Bible is a collection of sacred texts for Christianity and Judaism. T...

A deeper look at the Nicolaitans in Revelation — what Jesus hated,

Image
The Nicolaitans appear only twice in Scripture, yet Jesus says He hates their deeds and doctrines. This study explores what their name means, why their influence was so dangerous, and how their spirit still appears in religious systems today. It’s a call to discernment, repentance, and a return to direct communion with God. The Doctrines of the Nicolaitans In the past, I’ve stumbled across the name Nicolaitans in Scripture. It appears only twice—in Revelation chapter 2. Revelation 2:6 (LEB) “But you do have this: that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, things which I also hate.” Revelation 2:15–16 (LEB) “So likewise you also have those who hold fast to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. Therefore repent! But if you do not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword from my mouth.” This morning, while searching Revelation 2 again, that name caught my attention. I’ve looked before, trying to understand who the Nicolaitans wer...
