May the Lord stir you concerning His nearness and interest in
you by touching your heart, by angels ministering around
your bed and by speaking to you in dreams.
”But as for me, the nearness of God is my good;
I have made the Lord God my refuge, That I may
tell of all Your works.” (Ps.73:28, NASB)

It is difficult to even remember you have a choice when you are pinned to the ground and the inevitable, unavoidable and inescapable is in your face like a 400lb., full grown, male lion! In a true safari record, a hunter shot a lion, but it kept coming and hit the man with a full-body-force lunge that slammed the man on his back and flung his rifle into the tall grass! Nailed to the ground, the hunter was about to be eaten. It was inevitable, unavoidable and inescapable, but the man CHOSE LIFE. He stuck his hand in that monster’s gaping mouth and grabbed its tongue, twisted it and shoved it back into the lion’s throat. The desperate grip kept the tongue at such an angle that the lion couldn’t even shut his jaw. That hunter lay there, determined to follow through on his choice while the hot breath of his enemy filled his nostrils and thick saliva slimed down his arm and every bone in the man’s body vibrated under the growl of the glaring beast. The man continued the choke-hold for forty-five minutes while his guide ran for the jeep and returned to run over the lion and kill it! Choose Life, even in the face of the inevitable, unavoidable and inescapable.

Since choice can be an automatic reflex, we must train ourselves to CHOOSE LIFE. Of course, re-training ourselves is not a stroll in the park. Re-training is never easy because we can’t take down-time to work on it. Re-training happens during real-life problems that just can’t be scheduled. They never come at a good time. Hell’s attacks are never fair. It is very difficult to contradict your emotions, especially when you’ve cried enough to salt a creek and used enough Kleenex to rub your nose right off your face. How do you choose life when you are dealing with relationship issues with someone who won’t even try? How do you choose life when you’re weary because you’ve already made that choice for months, for years, yet you are still smothering in changelessness? It’s difficult to choose life, again and again, when you’re still in the grip of pain and it’s taunting you daily. But in spite of difficulty we must CHOOSE LIFE in order to bring CHANGE in our lifetime.

May we see the hand of the Lord moving everywhere we look today.
May we see His possibilities. May we consider the supremacy and viability
of His Word in each situation and declare that supremacy and viability.
“At the end of ·that time [the days], I, Nebuchadnezzar, ·looked up [L lifted my eyes] toward heaven [acknowledging God’s supremacy], and ·I could think normally again [ my reason was restored to me]! Then I ·gave praise to [blessed] the Most High God; I gave honor and glory to him who lives forever. “God’s ·rule is forever [ sovereignty is an eternal sovereignty], and his kingdom continues for ·all time [ all generations].” (Dan.4:34, Expanded Bible)

Something to understand about choice is that it is often a reflex. When we get boxed in by conditions and circumstances, we are likely to automatically make choices whether we mean to or not. An unconscious choice for many is to ignore or deny the cocoon and conditions. Or, without realizing it, we can choose to believe we have no choice and can only be a victim. It is also sometimes easy to choose to trust self or others instead of God. However, only choosing to trust God is choosing life.

surprise them in their midst with His gifts of help and edification and put a fresh,
courageous heart in each one and invigorate their work.

May hurting ones realize that the Lord God has not added any
sorrow to their lives. Our beneficent God adds rich blessing.
May those blessings quickly push through the crust of hurt
and disillusionment and come to full bloom.

And He adds no sorrow to it.” (Pro 10:22)

We can have strong muscles like abs, quads and biceps, but the biggest muscle we need is trust in our God. We use the trust muscle every time we choose life. When Job said, “Though He slay me, yet I’ll trust Him,” he wasn’t accusing God of being behind all His suffering. He was saying, “Even if God were trying to kill me, I would still choose to trust Him!” That is CHOOSING LIFE. Job’s choice broke through the cocoon he was in (which were extremely overwhelming, tough circumstances) and his choice brought him to resolve and restoration.

Counsel for Living #2— May we each be attuned to hearing the voice of wisdom and counsel for our respective places of responsibility. May the Lord provide that we shall receive skillful instruction that will stand us good in days to come and may we be willing to receive correction in areas in which we are remiss. May the Lord’s purpose for you prevail above all opposition.

Some people think about infirmity like this, ‘With my track record, I probably deserve this; besides, everybody has their cross to bear.’ (If we think like that, we need to find a way to bleach our brain!) Your cross in life is your purpose, not your predicament! God’s will is never that someone be born for sickness or trouble. That’s sick thinking, death-curse thinking and our God is Life! By the way, one of the essential aspects of choosing life is to know your God’s character, not just His Word and His Principles, but His Heart, because that is what enables us to trust Him.

Can our struggles really be related to our purpose and our future when we can’t see any connection to either? YES, but how many Christians consider things like this? Aren’t we more apt to think something like, “My infirmity is a bloodline pattern, a weakness, a disease in our family.” So then we tolerate and allow an ongoing curse and thereby choose death and we act like “history repeating itself” is a biblical principle! History only repeats because the changes needed didn’t happen. That wrong thinking causes us to just accept things that we were actually born to conquer. We need to CHOOSE LIFE and bring CHANGE in our lifetime, and even expect change to ripple back to the previous generation.

and step into new levels of freedom and fulfillment through His mercy and loving-kindness.

Your purpose and potential to bring God glory can draw unique fire as the devil consistently tries to rob, kill or destroy the glory of God. This could 
actually explain why you are a magnet for certain types of problems, (like a back-handed confirmation of your purpose and calling.) For example, if you continually battle health issues, the real cause of that war may be over your call and purpose. The intention behind snuffing you out could be to remove your godly influence in your family or community or career. A more specific ensample: if you were born to train and educate future politicians or judges but sickness keeps you out of the classroom, those students do not come under the godly influence that was essential for their belief system and future decisions. (Your health and healing is bigger than you. It connects to purpose.) From another perspective, physical harassment may be an attempt to stir up doubt or cynicism in you so that you’ll never flow in the gift of healing as God intended.

May the people of Jehovah God shine like the noonday sun and
may they stick out from those who live with darkened minds.
May they live relaxed and with pleasure and fulfillment as they
apply the Wisdom of Jehovah at every turn in their daily lives.
”It is as sport to a [self-confident] fool to do wickedness, but
to have skillful and godly Wisdom is pleasure and relaxation

You may be trapped in a cocoon because of the mistakes or difficulties of a previous generation or, you may be in a cocoon challenge because of some particular aspect of your destiny. If your enemy has sniffed out the purpose and call of God in you, he will go after it. Technically, the devil can’t decide to touch God’s plan and purpose, he is just not big enough. His only hope is to derail God’s participants from it through evil devices like injustice, deception, false accusation, etc. He will use anything he can to limit or stop you or your passion. Stopping you from being who you were born to be and doing what you were born to do is his only way of hindering the GLORY of GOD in the earth. Jesus said in John 17:4 “I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.” So your purpose and potential to bring God glory can draw unique fire as the devil consistently tries to rob, kill or destroy the glory of God.

May you go out under the cover of the hand of God, the protection
of God and the favor of God that you may be in the right place at
the right time successfully accomplishing the purposes of God
for your advancement and the advancing of the Kingdom.
”Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God
[set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a
place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time,” (1Pe.5:6, Amp)

(By Kathy G.) Some cocoons (entrapped, tough times in life) are common for many people, but we also have our customized cocoons, those tough times that are unique to us. These come from matters that need resolve in our soul, like you may be having to work on a relationship that was damaged by jealousy or fear or anger. Or you may be having to deal with problems you inherited, ongoing battles from choices made four generations ago. Perhaps your forerunners didn’t choose life and blessings and it caused them to end up with a view of marriage that’s bound to fail. So the next generation has to work through the trickle-down issues of divorce. Or a generation made wrong career choices and bankrupted the whole family causing poverty conditions and limitations for decades. Or a generation chose death and curses, deciding to be lawless, and the ripple effect undermined character to the point that a family or community or culture is cocooned in corruption. Can our struggles really be related to our purpose and our future when we can’t see any connection to either? We need to CHOOSE LIFE and bring CHANGE in our lifetime, and even expect change to ripple back to the previous generation.

As the people of God assemble today, may the Lord enable them to step beyond issues that would otherwise hinder their hearing the truths of His Word. May issues not be considered or guarded as the Word of God is spoken. May those issues not be a screen that the Word has to get through before the Word can be considered for repentance and/or growth. May personal issues, and issues with others who are present in the meeting, take a back seat to the life and delivering power of the Word of God.
Psa 106:25 They found fault with the life they had and turned a deaf ear to GOD’s voice. (Msg)
Psa 81:11 But My people would not hearken to My voice, and Israel would have none of Me.
Psa 81:12 So I gave them up to their own hearts’ lust and let them go after their own stubborn will, that they might follow their own counsels.
Psa 81:13 Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!
Psa 81:14 Speedily then I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their adversaries. (Amp)

May the Lord most high free you from being fenced in by lack of
opportunity and circumstantial opposition. May you run free like
the calf set free from the stall and cross finish lines and goal
lines accomplishing all you were born to be.
“When I was fenced in, you freed and rescued
me because you love me.” (Ps.18:19, CEV)

People, time and circumstances seem to be working against destiny for many. BUT ask Joseph, “Did God bring you to purpose? And when He finally did, was He too late?” Ask David, “Did personalities keep you down so that your life did not fulfill God’s purpose?” The deciding factor is this: Is God our goal? That is the only goal God will guarantee. To have God as our goal means that we want to possess Him, to know Him, to walk with Him more than anything. To have God as our goal means that we will know Him and we will know Him by His Word getting into us and walking by that Word. If we know Him we will allow Him to bring us into the likeness of His Son. “That was then and this is now.” True, BUT God had an unpredictable habit of manifesting Himself miraculously then and…. His habits have not changed NOW!

It is difficult to even remember you have a choice when you are pinned to the ground and the inevitable, unavoidable and inescapable is in your face like a 400lb., full grown, male lion! In a true safari record, a hunter shot a lion, but it kept coming and hit the man with a full-body-force lunge that slammed the man on his back and flung his rifle into the tall grass! Nailed to the ground, the hunter was about to be eaten. It was inevitable, unavoidable and inescapable, but the man CHOSE LIFE. He stuck his hand in that monster’s gaping mouth and grabbed its tongue, twisted it and shoved it back into the lion’s throat. The desperate grip kept the tongue at such an angle that the lion couldn’t even shut his jaw. That hunter lay there, determined to follow through on his choice while the hot breath of his enemy filled his nostrils and thick saliva slimed down his arm and every bone in the man’s body vibrated under the growl of the glaring beast. The man continued the choke-hold for forty-five minutes while his guide ran for the jeep and returned to run over the lion and kill it! Choose Life, even in the face of the inevitable, unavoidable and inescapable.

Since choice can be an automatic reflex, we must train ourselves to CHOOSE LIFE. Of course, re-training ourselves is not a stroll in the park. Re-training is never easy because we can’t take down-time to work on it. Re-training happens during real-life problems that just can’t be scheduled. They never come at a good time. Hell’s attacks are never fair. It is very difficult to contradict your emotions, especially when you’ve cried enough to salt a creek and used enough Kleenex to rub your nose right off your face. How do you choose life when you are dealing with relationship issues with someone who won’t even try? How do you choose life when you’re weary because you’ve already made that choice for months, for years, yet you are still smothering in changelessness? It’s difficult to choose life, again and again, when you’re still in the grip of pain and it’s taunting you daily. But in spite of difficulty we must CHOOSE LIFE in order to bring CHANGE in our lifetime.
Some people think about infirmity like this, ‘With my track record, I probably deserve this; besides, everybody has their cross to bear.’ (If we think like that, we need to find a way to bleach our brain!) Your cross in life is your purpose, not your predicament! God’s will is never that someone be born for sickness or trouble. That’s sick thinking, death-curse thinking and our God is Life! By the way, one of the essential aspects of choosing life is to know your God’s character, not just His Word and His Principles, but His Heart, because that is what enables us to trust Him.
actually explain why you are a magnet for certain types of problems, (like a back-handed confirmation of your purpose and calling.) For example, if you continually battle health issues, the real cause of that war may be over your call and purpose. The intention behind snuffing you out could be to remove your godly influence in your family or community or career. A more specific ensample: if you were born to train and educate future politicians or judges but sickness keeps you out of the classroom, those students do not come under the godly influence that was essential for their belief system and future decisions. (Your health and healing is bigger than you. It connects to purpose.) From another perspective, physical harassment may be an attempt to stir up doubt or cynicism in you so that you’ll never flow in the gift of healing as God intended.
You may be trapped in a cocoon because of the mistakes or difficulties of a previous generation or, you may be in a cocoon challenge because of some particular aspect of your destiny. If your enemy has sniffed out the purpose and call of God in you, he will go after it. Technically, the devil can’t decide to touch God’s plan and purpose, he is just not big enough.
