Behind-the-Scenes Workings of God

Let’s look at the confirming presence of God in the details of Mary’s life.  Her family, even when they had no knowledge of the behind-the-scenes workings of prophecy WomanRaiseHandsSky.jpgand purpose in their lives, dwelled in Nazareth.  I’m certain that Mary’s parents had no idea their grandchild would be the Messiah!  Perhaps one, if not several generations had made the choice to live or continue to live in Nazareth (which means the guarded one), but it is certain that God was working with all details to position Mary for destiny.  She was called to conceive and bear the ultimate gift of God to man.  Luke 1:30-34,”Then the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.  And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.  He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.’  And Mary said to the angel, ‘How shall this be . . .’” (RSV)  Even in the midst of this angelic visitation and undeniably Divine encounter, still Mary asked for more information, more understanding to confirm the next steps in her life. —Kathy

Clinging to God’s Word

We take God’s Word, grab hold of it and tenaciously cling to it until it carries us into HoldBibleHand.jpgtomorrow. “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying… I will do all my pleasure.” (Isa.46:10) This means that God declares something before there is anything like it in existence and when it is time for it to be manifest, it comes into existence. He is not finished declaring over you!

The Impossible and Walking With God

“For with God nothing will be impossible,” means just that . . . WITH Him, the impossible is accomplished. That means no strain on my part will bring about the FatherSonimpossible and neither will my determined efforts cause God to do the impossible. Pushing or tugging at God will not work, but walking WITH Him will position us to see the impossible become possible whenever necessary. Walking with Him will keep us from stumbling blindly from one assumption to another or from one disappointment to another. Walking with Him involves His confirming presence and recognizing His orchestration of people, circumstances and time to confirm our path. His love for us is so unfailing and detailed that He not only protects our destiny, He even salvages it at every point possible throughout our existence. —Kathy

That Which Was Lost

JesuslostsheepAs the people of God assemble today may they hope in Mighty Yahweh and His Word and His faithfulness to work that Word until His promises are fulfilled. May they take hope and encourage one another that their Lord is working in this nation and in the nations of the world and showing Himself mighty to redeem that which is lost. “for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Lk.19:10, Amp)

God Unlimited by Dimensions

LookAhead2021.jpgTomorrow is a dimension and no dimension holds God captive, nor can any dimension even restrict Him. The dimensions of man are height, length, width and time. Those dimensions were made for man to function in. God can function in or out of them with equal effectiveness. If God can never be limited by any dimension, He can get you to tomorrow with no problem. (Jn.8:58)

 

God Planned a Path for You

Wouldn’t it be more in character with our wise and loving God to have planned a PathwaySunTreespath for us that fulfills who we are rather than contradicts who we are?  To think otherwise is to assume our Heavenly Father has not been actively aware of us in every moment of our lifetime. To think otherwise is to assume our gifts and callings were an after-thought, after God got to know our personality and talents and quirks.  No, we serve the God who knows the end before there is a beginning! (Isa.46:10) —Kathy

Make Disciples

Men Praying“Make disciples” (Mt.28:91-20) does not mean: teach others to be dependent upon receiving blessings. Rather, it means to teach others to BE a blessing (like Jesus). The teaching, experiences and writings of the apostles matured, developed and equipped believers to be agency through which the Kingdom would be evidenced in this earth (Acts8:12;14:22; 19:8; 28:23,31;1Co4:20).

Called to the Task?

There is an indirect teaching in the foundational beliefs of many Christians that God-thinkingwhatever God asks us to do will always be very difficult.  Therefore, the measure of obedience can become how much we don’t want to do a task.  If it is what I hate to do or what I would never want to do or if it is a mandate that is obviously impossible, then that must be what God wants me to do, right?  So, people set themselves to callings and tasks they were never meant to accomplish and then end up confused and hurt, feeling no one supported them in their efforts. Or, they are plagued by unbelief, doubting they recognize their Father’s voice thereafter. Or, they sink into suffocating disappointment and fear of failure. —Kathy

Molding Vessels

potterGod will mold and chip away and apply heat. His purpose is not to get us to heaven but to mold us into the image of Christ. (Gal.4:19) That is why we have apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. He is using each one “for the perfecting of the saints, the work of the ministry, the edifying of the Body of Christ: “Till we all come unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” (Eph.4:12-13)
