Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned:  but what sayest thou?  This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him.  But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.”   -- John 8:5, 6

"As though He heard them not."  Jesus was good at tuning out what He did not need to hear.  He would shut down the lies, gossip, and criticalness of the people.  Jesus knew who He was and saw the potential in others, not their faults.  He did not focus on where they were at that moment, but where they could be in the future!  He did not see an adulterous woman, but a delivered, forgiven, changed person who would serve His Father in the Kingdom.  See the potential in all the people around you, especially in your spouse, your children, your family, your friends.  See them through God's eyes, not through the eyes of a stone-thrower.  Then help them reach their potential in God with faith and love.

...Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard
them not.  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them,
He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.   --John 8:6, 7

"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone."  I am sure that this is not the response they wanted or expected from Jesus.  If they knew He was going to turn it back around and focus on their walk with God, they would never have brought this woman to Him.  Many times putting others down is done just to bring you up.  This is because, really deep inside, you are ashamed of your performance in the things of God, but you feel better if someone else is doing worse than you.  Christianity is not a race or a competition.  It is your personal relationship with the Father by the Holy Spirit.  Focus on your relationship with God.  Allow Him to finish the work He began in you.  Out of that relationship you will be able to build others up rather than tear them down.  The closer you get to Him, the farther away from stone-throwing you will get.

It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. — John 6:45a

We are living in the greatest dispensation of all time.  We have the privilege and opportunity to be personally taught by the Spirit of God.  Old Testament people longed for and desired to hear the voice of God, but were taught by the Law.  Today we have God Himself living on the inside of us, and we have the awesome opportunity to hear and be led by His voice on a daily basis.  We no longer have just a prayer-time relationship with God, or a church relationship with God, but we have an all-day, every-day contact with God.  The attention you give to your spiritual growth and development must be a priority over the intellectual and natural-realm life.  Many in the Church have a head-full of information, but do not walk in the power of revelation.  Revelation in the Spirit is what makes you dangerous as a soldier of God.  Revelation will not only cause you to know the Word, but to act and live what you know. Peter got a revelation: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  Jesus said “You did not get this information from flesh and blood, but you were taught by My Father.”  As a result, Satan desired to sift Peter as wheat.  Why?  Peter had become dangerous to the kingdom of darkness.  Today’s army will receive revelation through Holy-Ghost preaching.  As a result, they will no longer sit and prepare, but will cooperate with God. God is teaching His people.

...a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, — Joel 2:2b

Joel is prophesying about a last-days, one-of-a-kind army.  He speaks of a group of soldiers who will run, climb, march, and invade the kingdom of darkness.  When you are living in a revival ministry, you are advancing and excited about saving the lost, healing the sick, and preaching the Word.  It is time to get aggressive in the Spirit.  We have been given health and wealth and peace and joy and all-out victory in the spirit realm, and it is time to fight the good fight of faith.  Wherever you go and whatever you do, look to invade.  Do not become content with the ordinary, or to just “get by,” but look to make progress-–you are a great people and a strong-–never seen before!  You are moved by God’s voice and His commands and are led by His Spirit in all truth.  You cannot and will not be stopped!  Others shall see you and fear and put their trust in the Lord.  Soon the army will grow and multiply–-it will advance as one unit and the forces of darkness will not be safe anywhere.
