As the people of God assemble today, may their ears and
eyes be opened to discover that there are still possibilities in
their God for solutions that no one has ever considered.
May they go forth speaking in agreement with the creative
acts of God in them and in the earth.
“…[Abraham] dared to trust God to do what only God could
do: … with a word make something out of nothing.” (Rom.4:17, Msg)
May the list of people you
glean wisdom from grow.
“Listen! Wisdom is calling out.
Reason is making herself heard.” (Prov.8:1, GNT)

“Those things which are behind” must be laid aside in order that “those things which are before” may be attained. A prophecy can be a part of what makes up that “Divine Gravity Pull.” When we receive a prophecy, the word which we receive begins to propel us forward. When we are propelled forward we are truly being propelled toward something but we are also being propelled away from something. Prophecies should serve to help get our minds and emotions off those unfruitful things of the past. There are attitudes and mindsets, traditions and sentiments, failures and rejection that we must set aside in order to go on. “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us” (Heb 12:1).

May all things that are supposed to connect in our
brains connect as they should. May they connect in
the timing and fashion that is profitable for accomplishing
daily tasks and completing goals and communicating accurately.
“Then I tried to explain these things in the best and most
accurate way.” (Ecc 12:10, CEV)
Christ’s “holy power and influence” had laid hold of Paul (Phil.3:12). It has been said that the gravity pull of a planet is its influence upon other heavenly objects. That holy power and influence of Christ upon us apprehends us in order to display His Image in us and His character through us.

Your Home #5 — May your home be a house of prayer where prayers are offered for each of those who dwell there. May it be a place of agreement for your needs and for the salvation of family.
Act 16:31 They answered, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will be saved.” (Acts 16:31, GW)
The reason Paul said, “that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus” (Phil.3:12), was because he could feel that undeniable “Pull” to His destiny. Rather than resisting that “Pull”, he reached forward (v.13) in anticipation of grasping the fullness for which He had been “apprehended.” That word “apprehended” is a wonderful word which expresses that “Divine Pull” upon us. “Apprehend”: to possess; to take eagerly, comprehend, find, perceive (Strong); to take possession of – in a good sense, of Christ by His holy power and influence laying hold of the human mind and will, in order to prompt and govern it (Thayer).

As the people of God assemble today, may they hear and speak the
never-failing Word of God that assures His people that He is on the
throne and that their trust in Him is not misplaced. May they leave
their respective places of worship with hope and enablement to
meet tomorrow’s challenges with faith in their God.
“No need to panic over alarms or surprises, or predictions that
doomsday’s just around the corner, Because God will be right there
with you; he’ll keep you safe and sound.” (Prov.3:25-26, Msg)
You are welcome to choose the title you prefer: “What To Do When You Are More Spiritual Than Your Pastor” or “What To Do When You Know More Than Your Pastor Knows” or “Observations on Absolom.” Absolom pushed for and expected to be able to take authority in areas where he hadn’t been proven (1Tim.3:10). But biblical principal tends to follow this pattern: (1) Process while walking out relationship; (2) Process leads to being proven; (3) Process and being proven leads to a track record that follows the principal of Lk.16:10– “faithful in little can be trusted in much”.

The goal Paul spoke of is consistently out there before us. It is not illusive nor is it merely idealistic. It IS reachable. It IS attainable. But there are “black holes” and certain “planets”, with their gravity pull, that we must avoid in order to reach that goal.
“Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Phil 3:12-14)
