Rise Above The Heard
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
The lowest level of maturity is when you have to be encouraged to do what is right.

There is something that you will find out about Christianity as you grow in maturity.
Sadly, I must share that all that you see on the service is not what you will find to be a reality in many who proclaim Jesus is Lord. Remember, many who proclaim to be mature are not. There will be times when you will be disappointed in other individuals due to their actions and views toward what you believe. What is important is not what they have obtained or what they have said, but it is what you receive from the Word of God. Beware of offence that can be taken due to another’s' actions and or the actions of a group of individuals who are proclaiming faith in the Lord.
Jesus said: " Woe unto the world because of offences for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! (Matt. 18:7)
The Apostle Paul said in front of Felix that "I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and men." (Acts 24:16)
Offence will come, but do not allow it to come through you! Keep the love of God before you so that the Spirit of God can deliver through you the Gospel of the Kingdom to others which is the power of salvation of which you yourself have received if you have received the call of God upon your life and have repented toward God turning from sin and allowing the Spirit of God to direct you in love.
What do you do when what you are experiencing in life does not align with what you have heard from others who are preaching the faith of the Bible? When you hear others preach about prosperity yet you yourself are rubbing pennies together and are perplexed about the future and the future of your family? When you hear preachers preach healing and you yourself have been given a report of bad health? What do you do? How will you act?
The answer is
in Him!
You must above all understand that Jesus was not just speaking to His disciples and those around Him some two thousand years ago! YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THIS! Go to the link below and watch the video 'His Words Were Spoken For You'.

Hearing the Gospel of the Kingdom of God
Perhaps you have been handed a card or have seen a flyer with this web site and or the number to this ministry.
Perhaps you are facing a situation or circumstance that is so emotionally hard to handle or physically you have experienced or are experiencing hardship due to sickness or disease.
Perhaps you have been sexually molested or verbally abused or have been laid off from your employment and all hope has crumbled.
So what is it that we at Hensley Ministries believe that we have to offer to you?
It is just that, 'belief'.Tthe faith that we hold in a man who has more manuscripts written about Him and or His followers than any character in history. The man Jesus of Nazareth called Messiah.
It is this faith that we desire to share. It is the knowledge of who the Son of God is and not who others say that He is.
For a while, by hope and sheer will of ones mind the history of this man named Jesus and the stories surrounding Him allow a period of learning in hope of the astounding work that has been recorded to have taken place by Jesus. However, with learning comes the chore of remembrance and often actions outside of one's study and prayer speak louder due to a life time of reacting to such. Other voices come in and reasoning takes place from truths that seem far removed from one's personal life.
Some grew up in Church of some denomination and yet seem to live a life as if they have forgotten everything that was spoken in their hearing.
Nevertheless, the truth of the Gospel (proclaimed word of God) is that church attendance will not effect the spirit of a man or woman; but hearing God Almighty speak to you personally (called being born again) will.
The Bible is very clear in that faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the word of God. (Romans 10:17)
Now I want to share to you what the 'word of God' is. And that way you will never be the same; and you will never allow another to manipulate you through emotion nor human intellect.

The Word
What can you do today for God?
(Have you ever asked yourself that question?)
What you can truly do today for God is to not allow yourself to be deceived! Study your Bible and do what it says! Listen to the Spirit of God more so than you desire to talk. I time of prayer, finish your prayer and listen for the Lord to answer you. Do not pray and jump into life full throttle. If you are praying and not expecting an answer... my friend you have been duped by religion! God desires to show you many things and to guide you into what is best for you - not your neighbor! If you are always doing the talking, and not listening; you cannot blame the Lord for your faults in life. A relationship is not one sided. A relationship is between two and you and God make the majority!
Remember that without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God. And when you come to god in prayer you must first believe that He is, and you must believe that He is a rewarder to those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6)
To diligently seek God means as follows:
To seek out and search for with an emphasis on requiring something from. the word is ekzeteo in the Greek, and it is used for demanding rights and privileges. The understanding could be viewed as if one went to court and found within the law that an individual or group were due something according to their rights underneath the law. It then would be not on them to act toward receiving such but those of the law who carry out justice.
For us who are in the Kingdom of God who proclaim Jesus as Lord and Savior, we have angels who minister toward us and carry out justice swiftly and are not hindered when the saint is standing by faith at the throne of God. Woe to anyone who stands against the saint of God when he or she not only knows but understands and has voiced their case to the Father.
Now, do you see the importance of knowing the written Word of God and the importance of listening to Him?
That is why it is written that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of God.
This is not a fable or some fairy tale that is designed to make you feel loved or in control of your life. This is true fellowship in the relationship of a child and their Father.
Make the choice today to receive from Him and reject the world. enter into the Kingdom of God and stand by faith.
