September 12, Monday

Well hi!  Here I am again.  Craig recently stated that we should make a habit of writing daily.  Of course I need to establish a habit of also reading daily.  I need to habitually rise early, pray, and study.  Then look at my daily list of things to do.

What’s been going through my mind recently is how I need to see the importance of who I am and that I need to become an expert in my field.  I grew up with detail in everything I endeavored to do.  However, I never stuck with anything long enough to master it.  Now I’m 24 years old; I sometimes feel it is too late to start.

What can I become an expert in?  I need a specific goal of what I, Carol Hamby, want.  As a natural man I knew what I wanted.  I wanted more than anything to live LIFE!  I wanted to experience everything I could, get my hands on everything.  Well, why not now?

Why not become sold out and committed to the goal of absolute obedience?

My Household Responsibility is the Cultural Center.  This past weekend I got my feet wet.  I felt like an asshole.  I work directly with Bob W.  Who am I to get to work with Bob W.?  I’m in charge of set-up and ushering for the T.V. productions.  Me, li’l ole me.  Then, for parties afterward, I ‘hostess’ them.  But I’m learning that voice of obedience and, by watching Bob, how to stay at peace and be gracious in the midst of ‘chaos.’  And he loves people and motivates them by his personality.

I’ve seen too that I want to master protocol.  I know it; I just need to remember to do it!  That is the first step.  It’s my Ministry.  God believes in me.  He has opened a big door for me to learn!  So God, teach me to handle the responsibility….to trust you to work out details….to go with what I think best.

The Cultural Center crew is: Me, Denise G., Becky D., John O., Paula B., Chris C., Stephen S., Perry R., Barbie R.

Handle all things with love!

August 24, Wednesday

Well, I’m on Staff for The Way International.  And I’m still not perfect.

Sometimes I feel like I have my head up my butt.  I loaf too much.

I’d read the Word now, but I wouldn’t get much out of it.

August 25, Thursday

I recently got out of a meeting with Michael F. and the Interim Corps.  We went over policies and procedures and some of the heart of our Interim year.

There are fifty-six 13th Corps Staff here at HQ for the year.  We are the backbone, protectors, “grunts,” of HQ.  Michael shared that it is not “easy” to live here.  Well, I well believe him.  My past few days have not been easy.  One reason, I feel, is because I need direction.  I realized again tonight, thinking about L.E.A.D., that I need to know I am loved and appreciated and that I have to have the confidence that I am where God wants me to be.

I’m called to be here my Interim year and it is a responsibility toward you Father.  It is not a time to grow slack.  Help me to set goals and to have a greater and greater vision.

Michael wants us to list three things that we think would be impossible on our Interim year.  Along with that I should list some goals.

I will now look at my goals from last block and then God you help me.

August 21, Sunday

Sunday Night Teaching Service (first one of the year)
Doctor is teaching.

Two things that hurt Doctor’s heart this year:
1 – Only 1301 WOWs were commissioned this year from the Rock.
2 – When people do not take care of this place physically.

Teaching:  “The Lordship of Love”

Romans 10:9 ~  Confess Jesus as Lord (Master)
I Cortinthians 12:3 ~ The only way to truly say Jesus is Lord is by speaking in tongues, by pneuma hagion.
Ephesians 2:3 ~ When I was born again, I changed masters.

II Peter 1:3-4 ~ When I got born again, I also got a new nature  and that is why:  I John 3:1-2, 10, 14, 16, 23; I John 4:6-13.  I have a new nature.  I have escaped the lusts and its corruption, Colossians 1:13.

Phileo love is human love which is basically self love.

Agapeo love is God love.  It comes into a believer with the new birth.

What else do we get when born again?
1 – Love
2 – Eternal life
3 – The gift of holy spirit

I Corinthians 8:1 ~ Knowledge puffs up.

I Peter 4:8 ~ Agapeo covers the multitude of sins.

Matthew 22:36 ~ “Master” = “Lord”

John 14:23 ~ To keep His Word is keep the Lordship of Love.  He abides in me, in this hunk of flesh.
John 15:8, 9, 12, 16-19 ~ Love will produce fruit.

Love is giving.  There are three love scenes in the book of Acts.
Pentecost ~ See the dethroning of selfishness in men’s lives and crowned with the Lordship of Love
Acts 2:41-47 ~ When we are outside of the Lordship of Love, God cannot add daily.
Acts 4:32-35 ~ I have to practice the Lordship of Love; Philippians 2:13.
Acts 5:1-4

Exodus 35:4-5, 22; 36:5 ~ When I recognize the Lordship of Love, it will be God’s ability and my ability to bless people.

In the first century they lost the great truth of the Mystery, the Lordship of Love.  They had more than they needed.

I Corinthians 13 ~ The Lordship of Love is the power in my life that will bear fruit.
