Beware of the RISE (Re-emergence) of Diotrephes

3 John 1:9-10
9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. 10 So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.

 

There are people around us who are like Diotrephes. They start off subtly, and as they gain courage they will begin to tear up a ministry from the inside out. While we could dig deeply into this, Father simply said this to me today: Watch out for the rise of Diotrephes in the midst of your ministries. Many have evicted him in the past, but he’s trying to come back in. One of the ways he’s entering in this season is by taking on unauthorized leadership and mentorship roles within varying ministries in a very, very subtle manner.

Living With An Autism Diagnosis (Our Story Part I) (2)

Our Son’s Autism Diagnosis

(I guess you could call this an article; but in truth, I’m simply sharing my heart. This story is about my son, JJ, and my families journey these past eight years. Maybe you are having challenges as well. Perhaps your challenge is not with a child diagnosed with a disability, but a parent you are caring for or another loved one who may be in need. The fact is: You are in this place of seeings God’s Glory in a situation that to those looking in — would seem like everything but a place of hope and belief. For many reading this and who know me, I probably won’t be spiritual enough for you — quoting scriptures and making tons of religious degrees. You see, I KNOW my son and our family is in the hands of God. I already know that we are walking in victory in this area, but their are some truths in this walk that I am compelled to share. There are some challenges and struggles that are very real — in the superNATURAL place in which my family daily lives. I pray that you are BLESSED in hearing part of our story.)

 

This is my son, Jeriah. He’s eight years old now and is the joy of our lives. Every night he prays with me and if I forget, he comes looking for me to make sure I pray over him before his head hits the pillow. Every morning he wakes me up with a gigantic hug and sloppy kiss; and expects to be prayed over by his daddy. He loves calling me by my middle name (of which I will never share), and telling me to, “Wake up!” He get’s “right in my ear” while I’m sleeping and then shout it — knowing I’ll wake up in a panic, nearly rolling out of the bed. He thinks its funny.

Navigating This Life

Part II: Identifying & Releasing Chaotic People (2)

For full understanding, please read  Part I: Identifying & Releasing Chaotic People
 

Proverbs 25:28 AMP says, “He who has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without walls.”

I am writing this article not to shame ANYONE, but to call the body of Christ into accountability; and to reveal what is really going on in the spirit with some of God’s people. Chaotic people are BROKEN PEOPLE. They are hurting deeply! It is imperative that we understand this.

You might ask: What does this mean? This means that there is a spiritual root (and there can be more than one) to their actions and behavior. It means that your love walk and your patience are being tested. Many believers have NO TOLERANCE for people who are in need of deliverance in this area and they will cut them off. But for those of us who can see, and whom God has assigned to walk with His people through this, there is a requirement for “truth in love.”
