The Contrast of the Love of Jesus

The awesome contrast of the love of JESUS stands out vividly and most significantly in history.  It stands out noticeably in comparison to the harsh Love Storiesgovernment and rulers and culture of that time.  Political rulers and military were cruel and unforgiving while religious rulers were stiff and legalistic, meting out punishment without mercy. Jesus walked among the people, talked with them, touched them and wept over them–all motivated by His love and compassion.  His signs and wonders never benefited Him, only those He lovingly touched.  I suppose that if we look at the life, motivation and actions of Jesus, we would come to the conclusion that the definition of love is “redemptive action.” “For God so loved . . . that He gave . . .” (Jn.3:16)

The Kingdom of God is Action

The Kingdom of God is not just something we put on the list of “Things I Believe In,” but it is action–action in us and through us. The government of God (The Kingdom) is exercised through sons/daughters.  It is somewhat like when James, in his epistle, PrayingForPeoplesaid, “There are people going around talking about what faith they have. I will show you my faith by my works.” (Js.2:18) There were evidently people just wanting to impress others by merely talking about their belief concerning faith. Reading about faith in the Bible like the way James spoke of it and observing faith leads me to the conclusion that it might best be described as a verb (action) rather than a noun (person, place or thing).  Just so, the Kingdom of God is best described as a verb (action) rather than as a noun. The Kingdom of God is the King acting through His authorized agents who release His governmental power in their sphere of authority.

God’s Timing and Appointments

“These things will come to pass . . . in their time,” was Gabriel’s answer to CalendarAppointment.jpgZachariah.  The old priest had not known how to factor in God’s timing into his destiny and purpose.  God not only has a plan, He has a specific time-frame to manifest it.  Many of life’s frustrations come because we have no understanding of God’s TIMING for our gifts and callings.  God’s TIMING rarely flows within the confines of our logic or agenda.  Learning to recognize His TIMING can be the key to fulfilling our calling.  If we are out of sync with God’s timing, we need not expect confirmations. There is not anyone or anything positioned to confirm us along life’s path if we miss God-ordained appointments.  —Kathy

Authority of Heaven is Within Reach

HandReaching3Jesus said, “The Kingdom has come upon you.” God’s authority and power over sickness and disease has come upon your physical body, here, now, on earth. Jesus said the Kingdom of heaven is at hand because the authority and power is within reach! Everything in heaven displays God’s authority and power and that same authority and power can be displayed on the earth. (Lk.11:20) —Kathy

Window Makers

Compassionate people of God will be window makers in 2020. Many people have Looking out windowwalls of impossibility and walls of hopelessness in front of them. They cannot see the future or their ability to have any productive part in it. But people with the Word of God in them and with words of wisdom will build windows in those walls by bringing knowledge and a way out of circumstances. People will see hope, clarity and solutions because our relationship with them, our words to them, opened what was shut to them before. (Ps 24:7)

Washed and Propelled Forward

As the people of God assemble today may they rejoice and declare the Word of God. WaterfallManToday, the Word of God Most High will go forth and will impact His people and they will be propelled forward in the purposes of God in their generation. ”Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, 26 so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. (Eph.5:25b-27, NASB)

Don’t Back off too Soon

cloudThe tiny cloud the prophet sent his servant to look for was not visible the first six times he walked four miles to look for it (1K.18). But he was right in his obedience to look the first six times as well as the seventh. Too often we back off too soon and see too little. (2Co.5:7)
