What to look for
I asked myself, "why am I taking the time to share this information with you?"  I thought to myself that everyone has his/her own path to cross.  Why doing it?  I even came to realize that your testimonies are not my testimonies, and vise versa.  Why then?  Well, I'm doing it because no one else is gonna tell you.  Only God can open your eyes and give you the knowledge and understanding that you may need.
I was once told by a pastor friend, "There's more to what you don't know then what you think you know."  Wow, that puzzled my nerves for a long time.  It did make a lot of sense.  I remember my dad used to tell me to always pay attention when someone is talking, even if you already know what they're saying.  The Holy spirit is nothing to play with.  He is a revealer, a teacher, and everything else you can expect HIM to be.  Learning starts with a teachable heart.  No wonder why the word of God teaches us to become a child.  You can't teach a knowing person, but a child ask a million questions.  What are you eager to hear?  Are not all wisdom and knowledge foolish to God?  I believe the world would be a better place if everyone would respect each other's belief, gender, background.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR
l.	Look in your own self, own family, own house before looking 	elsewhere.  The devil is in every family, believe 	it or not.
2.	You can't look for anything if you don't know what you're looking for.   Seek ye first the kingdom of God and 	HIS righteousnes, then discernment will cleave unto you.  Pray for discernment.
3.	Watch for people seeking information.  Example:  you are brother "A" but brother "B" knew you had issues 	with brother "C",  brother "B" can make believe he's on your side, while trying to assemble	 		information for brother "C."   Don't reveal any secrets or negative information, because he is going to return 	the information to sender (brother C).   Believe me, I had to learn the hard way.   
	Another example:  Keep your mouth shut.  Don't be too quick to give information.  Try to feel why the 	question is being asked.  Let's say you are in a women or men prayer meeting, you can easily be 			tricked to give information.  Their purpose is to try to know what you know, or what you can see in the spirit 	relm.  You may be innocent thinking you just heard from God, or God had shown you a vision, lol, Guess 	what?  .....you become a target, for they know you have a genuine spirit, and you can be in their way.  	Bottom line....use discernment.  Lol, I had to learn the hard way.  Oh yes, lol, what a beauty when you can 	look back at your past mistakes.  	It's different now.  I know who Iam, and who's Iam.  I can say 				anything, but I don't advice you to do the same if you are not sure where you stand.
4.	Look for Growth.  God is a God of increase.  Increase doesn't necessarily mean money, but any positive 	increase is an increase.   God gives the gifts and talents, and HE is returning for His increase.  Increase in a 	church can be the members, the offerend, building/new plans, the youth programs, the reaching out ministry 	and progress, homeless, jail ministry, the number of activities under the supervision of the leader/s.  	The 	choir and it's anointed voices, the musicians and fresh playing anointed, and most of all....the number of 	souls have been saved.  God's business is on a upscale, not frozen or going downward.
5.	Look for love.  Love is the first commandment.  There is nothing greater than love.  Love can make you or 	brake you.  Where there's love, there is unity.  Where there is unity, greatness can be done.  One accord, you 	can move mountain.  Where there's love, there's no suffering.  We live together, cry together, and rejoice 	together.  	We feed off each other's testimonies.
6.	Look for signs.  Your numbers, colors, letters.  I can hear someone ask, "What do you mean by these?"  Lol, 	yes, become a child.  	Know your A.B.C's.  What you don't know won't kill you.  Keep on reading the word of 	God.
7.	Look for prayer warriors.  Have praying partners and pray for them.  Pray always for your leaders and those 	upholding your leaders in prayer.  Most mistakes that believers do, is they forgot that the praying giants get 	tired and weary sometimes.  We all get knockdown and we all need each other.  All knowledge belong to 		God.  God 	loves when you pray for other people; don't care if they 	meant you good or bad.  The devil can 	not take a house down; unless he strike the leader, the front liners, or those holding the leaders and the front 	liners.   Example:  Post, rafters, roof top, etc.  Pray for the body of Christ, and also for where you are being 	fed.  	Pray for the law makers and your President.
