I dont know what the heck this means, but .. last week I prayed for God to give me a word about an issue I was having with a coworker who ostracized me at work. The image I got was of the anvil you used in your thumbnail. I didnt know it was an anvil at the time, but I googled "One horn" because thats the closest words I could put to the image in my mind... So scrolling through my YT feed I see this!!!! Your video with a One Horn Anvil as the And i immediately clicked to listen. So here I go, Lord. I will accept whatever message this topic/episode holds for me.

*Edit: I see why this message came across my path today. Tmrw I have an HR meeting with said coworker to discuss what happened and the Lord wants me to take exactly the approach in this video here. All glory to God. 🙏

I can be more open to receiving criticism by being humble and slow to speak.❤

thanks for the message guys, when you mentioned how Jesus treated the gentiles and tax collectors out of love instead of just casting them aside as hopeless, I need to apply that to my life. Seek ways to mend relationships or disagreements out of love. Stay blessed guys

Glorious Day Everyone~Criticism can be helpful when given in humility. It will make others comfortable in speaking with. We are all human and can treat one another with respect that is received in this way. There is always help here in the message brought to us by design.

Is anyone else struggling right now finding a church with a community just like they are preaching about here?

I just wanted to show my gratitude and say thank you both for doing all of this. In the past year I’ve had a hard time with family, I got kicked out and ex-communicated and struggled with a lot of things. When there was hardly anything for certain in my life, your family and your podcast has been there.
So thank you for sharing the word and being so encouraging when people need it most. Love you guys

Loving this message, how does this apply to someone who’s wronged you that is non Christian?

I can be more open to receive criticism by praying to not be so defensive but to emody Christ's character.

First fellowship is to get right its "By whome ye were called unto the fellowship of His son Jesus Christ our Lord"

" Our fellowship is with the Father and his son Jesus the Messiah"

Once you get that fellowship then you can share your bread with other believers in the fulness of Christ in the Holy Ghost.

Also, according to the bible, there is no "Gift of discernment"
The Word says "discerning of spirits"

Two different understandings. Peace/shalom in Jesus.
