THE BATTLE AXE: Going It Alone? (12/16/2013)—The disciples of Jesus were trained to go out in pairs. This is in line with legal requirements for testimony in judgment and determinations of truth (in the mouth of two or three let every word be established as in Deuteronomy 17: 6 and 19: 15; Matthew 18: 16; 2nd Corinthians 13: 1, KJV). Using pairs promotes teaching through demonstration and dialogue. Additionally, wisdom dictates the use of large groups and assemblies when making decisions that would have long-term and widespread impact. Government and rule will best prosper through collective strategies (see Proverbs 11: 14, Proverbs 15: 22 and Proverbs 24: 6, KJV). Also, there are Scriptures that promote teams of two as having needed advantage, while teams of three are stronger and more difficult to divide or separate (see Ecclesiastes 4: 8-12, KJV). A pair along with Jesus or his agent, the Holy Spirit, is able to function in dialog and council. Such teams are mechanisms for individual members to receive added information and guidance, correction, encouragement, and immediate response to concerns. With their unique contributions, team members are equipped to respond against unanticipated, unintended, and unplanned for challenges, events, and setbacks (see Isaiah 9: 6, John 8: 12-19 and 28-32, KJV).
THE GOLDEN ARROW: And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. He said, Bring them hither to me. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children. (Matthew 14: 15-21, KJV)

“angelica”, I have been having a tough time responding to the “Christmas spirit” of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday holiday selling along with choosing a gift for my sisters upcoming 50th Anniversary, and the many end-of-year fund raising letters and requests from school alumni organizations and charities that I try to monitor and assist. At the moment, I feel paralyzed, frozen, and unable to give anything, to anybody, or encourage the holiday season at all. Even so, here are a few points you might find helpful:
(1.) Where the duty of a steward is to oversee household finances, the flow of money and necessary supplies, the keys to success are called “discipline,” “advanced planning,” “staying on budget” and “sticking to ones plan.” When you reach your limit, you plain have to accept it.
(2.) Success when serving GOD always requires we be alert to opportunities that call forth and apply divine gifts. So to speak, “When you got ’em, take ’em out and smoke ’em.”
(3.) Even when you may not give or share materially, you should continue to participate spiritually. Rejoice; keep a positive attitude; speak comfort and encouragement. Exhort to correct action. Acknowledge the giving and works of others.
(4.) Often, the Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Similarly, the Spirit is willing, but the wallet is weak. We cannot personally answer every homeless person we may encounter on the streets; and we may have to be satisfied by our gifts to organizations and volunteers who maintain that as their ministry. Instead of weeping at what we may not do, we are to rejoice in what others are accomplishing.
There is far more to be said, correctly shared, and spiritually understood. For example, (5.) The poor are always with us, however, not to depress us, send us on guilt trips, or shame us. They are to touch our hearts in an experience of divine love from within ourselves. They are to call forth compassion, pity and respect from the deep wells of our inmost person that otherwise would not be stirred. They are to challenge us to continue mature and unselfish efforts in support of life. They are to further connect us to GOD in praise and prayer.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
