Harvest With New Strategies

HarvestField

 

As the people of God assemble today may they look
upon the fields that are white unto harvest.
May they look upon them with love and compassion
and with new and effective strategies.

”Arise, O God, judge the earth;  For You shall inherit all nations.” (Ps.82:8, NKJV)

Candidates To Participate

SeaSunEven before the resurrection, the sea water had its normal density and the body of Jesus had its proper density, yet Jesus walked on water (Matt.14:26). This LORD of the many-layered wisdom of God (Eph.3:10) is not bound by dimensions, nor by the poverty of human experience, nor by the laws of gravity or mass. Therefore, the advancing of His Kingdom and the sons of that Kingdom are candidates to participate in what their King has set up.
”Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” (Isa.9:7)

Lead Us Not Into Temptation

ShepherdLead“And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil” (Matt.6:13. . . At first glance, this sounds like this is asking God not to tempt us when James 1:13, tells us that God tempts no man to evil.  So a son wouldn’t suspect his Father of doing that.   One of the meanings of temptation here is adversity.  Neither would sons ask Father to keep us from adversity, because a mature son knows better than to expect not having to grow in character through overcoming.   I think The Message may have captured the heart of this phrase:  Mat 6:13  Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.  One of the meanings of the Greek word translated here as “not” is “lest,” which means “for fear that.”   That would lend this phrase to say, “Father lead us and deliver us from evil for fear that we will fall to temptation if You don’t.”   And as a son with that understanding, my prayer would be in agreement, “May I live my life today showing that I am not under the dictates and influence of temptation because I am delivered from the evil one”.  I can pray that with confident expectation because Thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory.   Therefore, we pray as sons, knowing our Father has, and always will have, the prevailing governmental order and the authoritative power and the ultimate manifestation of His every intent . . . forever.

Basic Good Sense

HandOutStop

 

May the Lord give us wisdom and basic good sense to not give out any personal information that we do not have to give out.  May we be able to make sound decisions and do without something, if necessary, to prevent releasing any information that would give a thief advantage.
“For skillful and godly Wisdom shall enter into your heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant to you. 11 Discretion shall watch over you, understanding shall keep you, 12 To deliver you from the way of evil and the evil men, from men who speak perverse things and are liars, 13 Men who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, 14 Who rejoice to do evil and delight in the perverseness of evil, 15 Who are crooked in their ways, wayward and devious in their paths.” (Prov.2:10-15, Amp)

Investing In Our Future

ChainsBrokenForgiveness is an investment in your future. It is not about staying saved or deserving, it is about investing wisely.  And forgive us our debts AS we forgive our debtors is a declaration that we understand Father’s governing principle and we know our personal responsibility in living it out.  I have to think God was emphasizing a consistent and continuous release that forgiveness brings, a continual unfettering of others to unfetter ourselves from our issues, a continual coming to freedom and deliverance to live as God intended, free to be who we were born to be for our Father’s glory.

Untethered From A Future Dictated By The Past

LookRearviewMirror

 

Mature sons know that walking confidently in the freedom and power of forgiveness only happens “AS” we forgive others and un-tether them from a future dictated by the past. As we release others, dead or alive, from what they owe us in apology for pain, hassle, grief or injustice, we are freed up from the debt we have built.  Debt erased from our future will change it.  (Matt.6:12)

Living Stones

StoneWall

As the people of God assemble today may there be people who realize that is where they belong and allow God to set them in as a living stone to be a viable part of the local vision.

“Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you’ll serve as holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God.” (1Pe.2:6, Msg)

Press Toward The Mark

StartRace

May we not allow what we hear and see in the moment of great trial, in the moment of great pressure, in the days of nothing happening (from our line of sight) to talk us out of the prize.

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Phil.3:14, KJV)

“I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.” (Phil.3:14, Msg)
