Character To Keep You

boundariesThe 3rd question God asked Adam was if he’d eaten of the tree.  God wasn’t looking for information of course.  He was helping Adam realize the point of origin of this earthquake that cracked his self-image and damaged his self-worth was when he defied the boundaries.  If anyone ever feels like God sets boundaries to demean or be unjust or cruel, they need some vitamin “G” as in “G”row up!  He sets boundaries wisely to set the stage for the truest expression of commitment, respect and honor in a lifetime.  It takes self-government to work within boundaries and that self-government develops maturity and character.  Character is a matter of righteous values and moral strength.  Character is essential to taste true fulfillment in your lifetime.  It will take Character to keep you wherever purpose takes you.  I’ve known really gifted and skilled people who lost everything because they did not have the self-government and character to honor boundaries and protocol in relationships or career or finances or health.

New Language In Your Home

TalkingHome
Your Home #14—May your home be filled with new language this year—filled with the language of finance and prosperity, filled with the language of health and filled with the language of wise counsel given and heeded.

“Without good direction, people lose their way; the more wise counsel you follow, the better your chances.” (Prov.11:14, Msg)

Don’t Stop And Replay Offending Moments

Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection and ascension was for our salvation.  That salvation includes the power to RecorderListenovercome any obstacle to your life and purpose.  The fact that He came to die for you proves that you have value.  That’s your trump, the undeniable proof that you have value and that will forever declare your worth!  The challenge is figuring out how to get your emotions to agree with that truth so that you don’t bottom-out if someone treats you as if you don’t have worth.  If  someone’s  selfishness or pride or ignorance or prejudice or stupidity causes them to look at anybody as worthless, that is their problem.  It is a lie to believe someone else’s problem can make you worthless.  The challenge here is to find a way that their problem has no influence over our emotions.  If we can learn to leave those offending moments in life by deciding not to stop and replay them, we can walk away in the confidence that we can trust God to deal with people and their issues while we rest in the truth that our self-worth isn’t even at risk.

Expectant Hearts

 

HandHeart

 

As the people of God assemble today may His people have a sense of the more that is to come of His purposes and His outpourings. May the hope of receiving and participating fill their hearts with expectancy.

“In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary–we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!” (Rom.5:5, Msg)

May we not get off assignment in this coming year.

“I’m telling you this straight. The Son can’t independently
do a thing, only what He sees the Father doing. What the
Father does, the Son does.” (Jn.5:19b, Msg)

Purpose Revealed And Realized

 

The glory of God through us, His creation, is not our putting forth effort to hit an ideal or to align with MoonReflectSuna creed or even getting to heaven. It’s accomplishing things that show His character, His Name in this earth in spite of the influence of culture. That which is in heaven comes to earth through an earthen vessel (Jer.18:4-6; Matt.6:10) and continually points back to its Source in heaven (Matt.5:16). That is why Jesus could say, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father” because He never misrepresented the Father, no matter how hard people (and the devil) tried to get Him to adjust to their expectations. “Glory” can be translated “excellence”. If we stop short of the excellent purpose and use of God’s power in our life, we have stopped short of His glory. The glory of God through us is purpose revealed and realized. Thayer says that “glory” means “splendor, brightness of the moon”. We only speak of the beauty of the moon because it is reflecting the sun, and the only reason there is reflection is because of the power of the sun. We can only show forth the glory of Him who sits on the throne in heaven. Let us ask, “What of my life points back to heaven?” We are not come-shorters; we are go-forthers whose lives bring attention and recognition to the redemptive God of the ages.

Your Home Fuller This Year

LivingRoomYour Home #13—May your home be fuller this year—full of the things you have needed, full of the evidences of victories and full of love and good, productive fellowship.

 “The curse of the Lord is in and on the house of the wicked, but He declares blessed (joyful and favored with blessings) the home of the just and consistently righteous.” (Prov.3:33, Amp)

Your Future

Declaration 7.—YOUR FUTURE:  

(Rev.3:8) “I HAVE SET before you an open door and no man can shut it”

DoorOpenNo man has set, no happen-chance circumstance has set, no fluke or hiccup has set, no turmoil or trauma or luck-of-the-draw has set a door before you.

BUT the Word says…. I HAVE SET AN OPEN DOOR.

SET: (Thayer) to give one something to his advantage;  to give to one who is asking;  to supply, furnish necessary things;  to give over to one’s care, entrust;  to commission [for 2015]

cf. 1Cor.16:9  a great door and effectual is opened unto me… and there are many adversaries  [those that oppose, that which opposes]. The Word says that there are many adversaries BUT…  not many impossibilities.  There are things that oppose and things that are contrary but it does not say “impossibilities”.

Don’t forget what Jesus Himself has said: “I HAVE overcome the world”  (Jn.16:33) NOT “I will eventually overcome the world” .
Remind the enemy of the Footprint on his neck! (Josh.10:24-25)

Declare:  I have a future because my Lord has set an open door before me.

Different Conversation

 

FamilyTalking

 

Your Home #12 — May your home be filled with different conversation in the year to come—different because you are no longer discussing threats and defeats but hopes and victories. 

“Answer my prayers, O True God, the righteous, who makes me right.  I was hopelessly surrounded, and You rescued me.  Once again hear me; hide me in Your favor;  bring victory in defeat and hope in hopelessness.” (Ps.4:1, The Voice)
