Information on Theological Conversation Building Opportunities
Every believer should strive to develop proper conversation building that accurately reflects God's speech by "teaching them to observe all that I commanded you" [Matt 28:20]. Some, who have followed Christ in faith as his disciple and subsequent baptism, have the personal tools for self-study in hearing God's speech with only the assistance of the Holy Spirit. However, most learn best in assembly with other believers in purposeful discipleship, under the direction of the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus implied by his imperative entreaty to his disciples to "Make disciples!" [Matt 28:19].
First, I encourage you to find relationships in your local church for personal discipleship with those mature in the faith. This method is God's best design and most rewarding for sustained growth and accountability. Open Heavens Ministries stands alongside local church ministries to assist in reminding those in the discipleship process to always focus on proper hearing of God's speech more than the speech of others with theological or philosophical terminology about God's speech [Col 2:8]. The audible distortion of God's Word by use of non-biblical terms and concepts opens disciples to the strategy of the devil to ask, "Indeed, has God said...?" [Gen 3:1], in a weak biblical hearing of this-means-to-me. One then becomes a disciple of a personal-created-faith more than the actual Word spoken by the God of creation. How much actual Scripture and in reading God's Word does your usual discipleship study have? Is it built on the foundation of Christ in his purpose to access an open, eternal-place heaven, either at death or the seconding coming for those living? Or, is your discipleship-conversation-building earth-centric, as part of the earthly strife in attempts to build a fleshly kingdom [Matt 24:4-12, See topic: How to have a loving relationship with a false prophet or enemy]? It is good to remember that the line demarcating service to God or the devil is very fluid from day to day [e.g., Matt 16:21-24]. . Destructive, unloving, seems-to-me conversation will not be answered here. Direct comment in rejection or support of facts in determination of truth is always welcome. I attempt to practice friendliness and prayer tempered with love [Matt 5:43-48] but also follow the biblical mandate of appropriate withdrawal of blessings with shaking dust from my feet [Matt 10:13-14], not sharing with those inclined to harm me [Matt 7:6], and avoidance [2 Tim 3:5], as I turn away looking for those who really want to grow as a disciple of God's speech more than other people. That said..., let us have a great conversation in learning together in the joy of hearing God's speech!
