Welcome to  CampfireTALK!

Chrismas season is upon us!  That's right, and it's time for the abundance of the presence of the Spirit of GOD! 

Notice that I did not say Happy Holidays
or Season's Greetings but I call it for what it is:  "Christmas"! 

Folks, there's no other holiday during Christmas time BUT Christmas!  And the folks that some of you are so worried about offending could care less if you say to them, "Merry Christmas", or not!  But, the devil has fooled "the elect", the sons and daughters of GOD into embracing a purely satanic custom, hidden under phrases like "politically correct"  or "being fair".  How do you think your neighbor or co-worker is going to react to you when they are judged and sent to Hell because you were so worried about their feelings that you forgot (or were afraid) to share with them the very words of Life that they needed to hear? 

The Bible says that when we "become friends of the world, we make ourselves an enemy to GOD"!  You are only fooling yourself if you think that Jesus is going to let you out of your responsibility to share the gospel just because your boss won't allow it, or because you were afraid someone might be offended, or because it would not be "fair" to others.  Jesus, the Bible says, "commanded" us to "Preach the gospel to all creation".   

Jesus also said in the Bible, "You are My friends if you do what I command you."  I believe that being "born-again" is more than just a moment of salvation - it is a way of life.  You have to, as the apostle Paul put it, "walk the talk".  He said, "You show me your faith without your works" in a mockingly tone,  and then he finishes, "and I will SHOW YOU my faith BY MY WORKS!"  He continues to say to us, "Faith without works ... is dead!" 

This Christmas season, "practice" your faith in GOD.  Live your life before men, so that they will know you are called by HIS name.  And take the time to notice "the Spirit" of the season, for it - is - Christmas time!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Are You Walking in the Flesh?  
from pastor Rich Allcorn

I hear that term all the time.  Walking in the flesh.  The Bible talks about it.  We are taught "NOT" to do it.  But what does it mean? 

When GOD created man, he had no sin nature.  His spirit man was pure before GOD, and without sin.  When Adam sinned, he opened the door to Satan and to sin, and his spirit man became that of sin.  His flesh man also began to develop a "sin nature", this took time.  You have to remember, his "body" had been walking with GOD for some time before the fall of man, so it only knew how to be "godly".  But as time went on, it followed after the nature of Adam's spirit man (now with a sinful nature) and began to actually "learn" the ways of the sin, or the "ways of the flesh" as the Bible now refers to it. 

You see, when you are "born-again", your spirit man is totally re-created in the likeness of GOD!  It is no longer the same!  But, like when Adam first fell, and his body began to learn the ways of the flesh, your body is very well trained in it.  It has been walking in the way of the flesh since you were born!  It has had "years" to learn to develop it's sin nature and to produce the fruits of "the flesh" as the Bible puts it.  When you are born-again, you now have to re-train your flesh (or your physical body) to live in the ways of GOD and not in the ways of the flesh.  While this may come easy for some, it is hard for most! 

I have noticed that when I spend time in the Word of GOD, and in prayer ... and when I am involved in a WORD-based church, where the gifts of the spirit flow, and the pastor and staff are spirit-led, my personal growth is phenomenal!  I focus on the "good things" around me, and on the "blessings" of GOD in my life.  But, if I stop going to  church, or I start going to a church that is not a WORD-based church but one where they teach and preach doctrine, my growth stops.  In fact, I began to develop the fruits of the flesh, and not of the spirit man!  My thoughts began to be critical and accusing.  I become suspicious and impatient, and I really don't like "me" when that happens!  I become a very "un-likeable" person!  And frankly, that won't change until I begin to "feed" my spirit man once again, with the life-giving WORD of GOD.  For it is that "LIFE" of GOD that transforms my physical flesh into something of love, encouraging, uplifting, patient, etc. and all of the "fruit of the Spirit" begins to flow out from me.  I become really quite  a nice guy to be around! 

I was sharing with my son, John, this morning that as I spend time in the WORD of GOD, in prayer, and in fellowship with my Father, I began to "fill" my spirit man with the very "LIFE" of GOD!  If you could see in the spirit-realm, you'd see an aura or a "light" about me!  I actually begin to 'shine'.  Sometimes, even in the natural, people can see this!  I have noticed too that people who are serving the devil notice this most quickly!  It is because the "light" that is in me, shines into the "darkness" that reigns inside of them, and they immediately become aware of it!  You see, "light" dispells "darkness".  It drives it out! 

I told him that I've found that the more time I spend in the WORD of GOD, the more people want to be around me!  They think I'm some wonderful guy, and thought they don't know why, they just like being around me!  But, I shared with my son, it is not "me" that is getting them so excited and making them feel so wonderful, but it is the presence of GOD in my life!  You see, their "spirit man" is hungry for the WORD of GOD, and it senses that in me.  As I speak and share, their spirit man is "soaking it up" like a very dry sponge, because it - is - being - fed!  It is being "nourished" in my presence, by the very Spirit of GOD that their spirit is longing to be in the presence of! 

So, if you find that you are not being very supportive of your husband, and all that you can see are his faults, then it may be a good time for you to evaluate the church you are attending.  It's also a good time to check your "WORD level" ... when was the last time you listened to a preaching tape, CD or message?  How often are you into your Bible?  And how much do you pray - really pray!  You know, you cannot be much of a helpmate to your husband if you are sapping him dry with insults, criticisms, and accusations.  And maybe you're not that bad, but are you encouraging him, uplifting him, and telling him how much you appreciate him?  "But you don't know what he ... "   See!  You are focusing on "problems" and not on your faith!  You are being "moved by what you see".  The Bible says that a man or woman of faith "lives by their faith"!  So, as a "Proverbs 31" Woman of faith and power, YOU need to be a source of energy, of warmth, of encouragement, and of "faith" to your husband!  And you cannot do that if YOU are starving out, spiritually, yourself.  When you show up, he needs to feel like your "champion"!  You need to make him feel like he can fight any battle, and take on any enemy, on your behalf!  He needs to feel like you look at him the same way you did when you two first fell in love!  You have absolutely NO IDEA how important that is to him right now!  Make it happen! 

And you husbands, is your wife always upset with you?  Is she picking at everything that you do?  When you try to be affectionate, does she ask you to stop, or does she call you "irritating" when you try and show your affections?  Does she no longer seem to have a desire for you?  It looks like you need to read just a little bit deeper.  You see, deep down inside, she's become focused on the problems of the family, and of life.  She is seeing the bills, the failures, and all the handiwork of the devil.  THAT is what she is focused on!  And you are going to need some supernatural "MAN power" to return to your position of being her "champion", and her hero!  You cannot be her hero if you don't "see" yourself as that in your heart.  And that means, YOU need some WORD time!  You need to be in a church where the men get together and encourage one another, where they lift one another up and pray for one another.  In the same way that you want your wife to be more feminine, more affectionate, and more womanly, YOU need to be more of a man!  That comes from time with godly MEN!  You see, spending time with other men challenges you!  It charges you up!  And, it gives you an opportunity to share your fears and concerns with other men, so they can pray with you, encourage you, and lift you up!  Then, you can return home saddled atop your big white horse and wearing your armor ... so to speak.  When you show up, seeing yourself inside as a "champion", she will respond to that!  Every woman wants her man to be a real MAN, a godly MAN, and a MAN who stands for things that she can look up to!  Make it happen! 

The bottom line here, folks, is ... this season is a time for re-charging, re-evaluation, and re-grouping!  You MUST ensure that your family is in a church where the WORD of GOD is preached!  Don't sell out for a short worship service, or easy sermons, or regular rote routines.  Find yourself a church where they will love on you, pray over you, encourage you, and hear from GOD on your behalf!  Find a place where they "preach the WORD of GOD"!  We are "spiritual beings", and these user-friendly churches are NOT going to help you get your life on-track and on the plan that GOD truly has for you!  Oh, they'll make you feel good, so you can say you went to church, but did you actually have church?  And do they minister to your spirit man?  You see, THAT is the true litmus test - DOES IT FEED MY SPIRIT MAN?  This season, "find out"!  Make - it - happen! 

If you don't ....  it will not happen, nothing will change, and your life will just carry on.  Your dreams that seem to be out-of-reach will never be realized unless YOU do something different to get it done!  GET IN THE WORD, and make a difference!
