Getting To God-Ordained Appointments

 

TalkingPointing

 

We have appointments to get to in 2015. If we listen to what seems to be apparent and logical and reasonable and live according to those things, it is possible that we will not get to God-ordained appointments. Trying to live by what others say can result in the sad report of Acts 27:20 “all hope was taken away”—that is the point at which people give up and stop trying. For the coming days of our lives we best listen and take Paul’s example and Paul’s instruction who said “I …believe God” (Acts 27:25) and “…The Word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart”… (Rom.10:8, NKJV). Let’s stop trying to live by things said BY OTHERS and start living by things said BY US. (Cf. Prov.15:30; 18:21)

Effect Of Words And Thoughts

Silhouetted female in front of sunset sky   Why are our words, thoughts and attitudes so important? Because they are registered somewhere in our mortal bodies. They affect us as well as others. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” (Prov.23:7a, NKJV) “Words are not mere words, you know. If they’re not backed by a godly life, they accumulate as poison in the soul.” (2Tim.2:16b-17a, Msg) (cf.Prov.18:21, Msg)

The Foundational Thing: I Believe God

 

Boat_Paul_RomeFrom the stormy Acts 27 account Paul decided, in the midst of a dangerous situation, to not live by things said BY OTHERS. The foundational thing he said was in v.25 “I believe God”. He believed the thing said in v.24 “you must be brought before Caesar”; and HE SAID that thing also. Other things he said that were contrary to what was apparent: v.22 “there shall be no loss”; v.24 “fear not”; v.24 “all will be saved”. All the other 275 people and their authorities (unbelievers) were crying out contrary things but Paul did not live according to what they said; he lived according to what he had been instructed and what he had been instructed, HE SAID. Not only did Paul firmly stand on what HE SAID but, eventually, those in authority began to say what he said and all were saved.

Each Standing With The Other

DisciplesBoat

 

As the people of God assemble today may there be people who discover that the people of God care about them and what they are going through. May there be assurances that each is standing with the other to get to the other side of the lake in spite of the storm.

“So that there should be no division or discord or lack of adaptation [of the parts of the body to each other], but the members all alike should have a mutual interest in and care for one another.” (1Cor.12:25, Amp)

Forgiveness Is An Investment

LookFuture

 

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. Forgiveness is an investment in your future.—KG

“And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” (Matt.6:12, KJV)

Because Someone Said

Paul had a God-ordained appointment to get to. He was traveling in a ship that was in the middle of a storm and PointingTalkingthe ship was in danger of sinking. Other people were making decisions about that journey and about that ship and were saying things that were in agreement with what was apparent in the present set of circumstances. In Acts 27:17 experienced seamen were “fearing” and in v.20 things had escalated to the point that the report is “all hope was taken away”. In v.11 the centurion had already listened to something said by an experienced sea captain and was putting 276 people in peril for their lives and v.12 says “the majority favored the plan of putting to sea”. Experienced people and the majority put the loss of the ship and everyone’s life in peril because “someone said”.

Keep The Amen Alive

man in praise

 

Keep the “Amen” alive in you;  that “Amen” the Holy Spirit put down deep in you when you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior.  Worship, read the Word, listen to the teaching of the Word, share your testimony.  Stir up the “Amen” to Who God is and to His Word.

“Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus.  In Him, this is what we preach and pray, THE GREAT AMEN, God’s Yes and our Yes together, gloriously evident. God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, PUTTING HIS YES WITHIN US.  By His Spirit He has stamped us with His eternal pledge—a sure beginning of what He is destined to complete.” (2Cor.1:20-22, Msg)

The Word In Your Mouth

Paul helped the Christians in Rome to wake up to a matter that would be a vital factor in their future: …”The Word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart”… (Rom.10:8, NKJV). Some of us came through an era talkingmouthof religious training and teaching that left us with the understanding that the vital factors of our lives and our future would be the result of what someone else said to us. Some have grown up in dysfunctional families and some have come out of bad marriages thinking that they do not deserve anything more or different than the negative that was said about them. But the helpful instruction of Paul is that the word our ears (and the atmosphere and the environment) need to hear is the word that comes out of our own mouth. But that word must be influenced, must be shaped by THE Word of God:  “…that is, the Word of Faith which we proclaim;” (v.8b). What was to come out of the Romans’ mouths was to have been influenced by the instruction of the Word from godly leaders and teachers.

Place Of Solace

Your Home #15 – May your home be the place of safety and acceptance you think of when you are out in the world and are mistreated and taken advantage of. May you return there safely and may it be your place of solace.
“You will be sheltered,without fear of hurtful words or any other weapon. . . .   Your home will be secure, and your sheep will be safe.” (Job 5:21, 24, CEV)

By Us Or By Them?

All of these wonderful things (hopes and victories, finance, prosperity, health) could come to pass for some of us simply because we applied a very simple solution—they could happen because we have stopped living peopletalkingby what is said BY OTHERS and have started living by what is said BY US. Over the course of years I have heard of people who changed something in their life because of something an individual said to them. They stopped taking medicine or started taking a medicine because an individual, who had no medical training, said they should; and the result was disastrous. There are people who have brought someone into their life or expulsed someone from their life because an individual said they should; and the result was disastrous. There are people who have invested in a market an individual told them to invest in and the result was disastrous. I know a couple who were told by an older influential couple that they should stop paying tithes “because it did not make sense to pay tithes” proving on both ends (believer and unbeliever) that human reason can, somewhat easily, cast aside biblical principle because an opposing viewpoint seems logical at the time. We should be very wise in deciding whether to live by something said by others and decide the correctness of it by the truths evident in the Bible.
