Dear Svet,
As regard your question, I believe it has to start from the place of prayer; “If it is not worth praying for, then its not worth arguing about” Said Chip.
I believed there is something your friend has seen in you that is causing him to make such decision and all you can do is to turn to the Lord in prayer and allow Him to do as He pleases.

Once again, this is not time to argue with your friend on who is right or wrong but it is a time the Lord in His own mercy is drawing you more nearer to Himself.. Just like Abram separated from Lot before the Lord could communicate with him again. Lot was a Christian but what God intended to do with Abraham cannot be fulfilled unless Abraham separate from Lot. So also He’s doing this time. To Lot, Soddom and Gormmorah is enough but, to Abraham, God is enough.
The Lord may later unite you again in the Spirit but first let Him accomplished His works in you.

May the Lord lead you on how to go about this.Amen

Today’s Infinite Supply from this article brought me to tears. For me, Yah-Shua (Jesus) has always been enough, and yet I fight guilt when other people tell me what should be added to my life.

I realized not long ago that most religious activities were more like talking about the swimming pool than actually going swimming. This article and the Scriptures within it are confirmation that my analogy is right on target.

Even as a writer, I am so happy to see it pointed out that if I love my writings more than I love Jesus, I am saying He is not enough. I must also remember that if I love the praises of people (which leads me to people pleasing), I am saying Jesus is not enough. God forbid! I do love Yah-Shua (meaning Yah is my salvation and that my salvation is found ONLY in Him) and that is simply enough. Thank you, Chip, for this encouraging wisdom and strength.

Thanks Chip for another thought provoking article.
It sure triggered afew guestions in my own life and
the body of Christ. It is easy to fall into that
trap.Works for the church and ministry can easily
become more important without realizing. Years ago
I had a vision of the Lord who could not get in His own church. It sure can be about the Lord
without touching His heart.Very frightening is the scripture Lord we prophesied in your name depart of me I never knew you. Very sobering to us as Christians.

JESUS IS ENOUGH. WHEN GOD GAVE US CHRIST HE GAVE HIS BEST AND WHEN HE GAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT, HE GAVE HIS ALL. WHAT IS THERE LEFT FOR GOD TO GIVE TO HUMANITY WHEN HE HAD EARLIER EMPTIED HEAVEN OF HIS ALL. THIS TRUTH HOWEVER IS RESERVED FOR THE SIMPLE AT HEART. MAY THE LORD OPEN OUR EYES TO THE SIMPLICITY OF THE TRUTH.

Jesus is Enough. We are called to be with Jesus. This is our calling. Question pertaining to our livelihood – if we don’t work, we don’t eat. I was just wondering if geographically a person could be in the wrong place. I know Jesus promised never to leave or forsake me. I know He is always here. I know Holy Spirit is my counselor and helper. After asking for wisdom and being open to His will, how will I know what is my next step. I know to follow the peace. I am open to change. Since I have had jobs in various fields (social worker, employment interviewer, stock broker, stay at home mom, intern teacher, customer service representative, homeschool teacher of two children, and at home appointment setter) and have not been on the most conventional path but have been one trying to be available to my children and husband and not on the career path. I’ve always had the desire to live in another country and experience another culture. I am drawn to the simple life. I don’t need alot of stuff, it’s like baggage to me that hold me back. I do know that Holy Spirit spoke to me over 20 yrs. ago driving home after my last term before graduating college to travel light through this life and depend on Him, people will fail me. In the natural, I could just read the Word, pray, do temp work and be a free bird. I’ve never been one to imagine living in the same house for 19 years but I have. My life just seems like something is off even though Jesus is Lord and I have learned not to be a people pleaser (except in the situation with my spouse). It’s a daily seeking the kingdom of God and His way of doing things. I am living by faith and trusting for His guidance. My husband is just on a totally different path, how can two walk together if they don’t agree?Suggestions? Jesus is enough. I still think about God blessing the work of my hands. If I don’t work I don’t eat!! Thanks.

Luke 10:38-42 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

I am so thankful for this article. Thanks brother Chip. I recall several years ago I prayed to The Lord saying: “give me Jesus, and He is enough”.

Oh how true this is. When told that women had to wear skirts/dresses, grow their hair and not preach/teach, I was asked this very question of the Lord. Do you love Me more than these. I said yes, not knowing at the time whether He was speaking of the pants, preaching/teaching, or if He was referring to the men who brought me that message.
Because those men had been preaching for a long time, I just assumed that I was rebelling, since I did not attend church and only dealt with the Lord. My joy left, but worse than that, the Lover of my soul left. I had to repent for putting on a dress, and for following them, when I should have kept following the Lord Himself. He let me see how our righteousness is but filthy rags.
That was almost two years ago and I am now only just able to face Him again for being fooled.
Tender He is that He would allow us to crucify Him yet again, while the one in which He existed says truly He is the Son of God. One thing I have learned, is to never let anyone be my Holy Spirit.
He is now preparing a table before me in the presence of my enemies. That table is a table of love, and forgiveness as I am being reunited with my first love again, after a lengthy time of running through the streets of Solomons song, and asking, have you seen my Lover.
Thanks for sharing the Lords heart Chip.
