Evidence Of What We Are Connected To

connected

 

There must be a connection to something beyond the “elemental things.”  Paul’s deep concern over the “elemental things” of Gal.4:3 is about the things of this present age which so occupy our minds and distract us from Father’s true character and purpose for His Kingdom. Those elemental things represent institutions, traditions and mindsets. “They are the elementary symbols of the law unable to justify” (Fausset). We easily connect to and identify with those things and then they get a hold on us which obligates us to their legalisms which we end up serving. If we speak, act and live like everyone else in this age we will get no different results than they get. What we do and the way we go about it; what we say and the results we get are evidence of what and who we have connected to.

Higher Than Religion

pruning vineJesus wanted to get His disciples connected to a higher source than the religion they had been stooped in. The legalism they had practiced could identify adherents but couldn’t produce fruit that witnessed to who the Father really is. The legalism was a witness to their personal determination but not to the character of the Father. The only thing their legalism communicated was that they were connected to a religion and its rules. Jn 15:8  “This is how my Father shows who he is–when you produce grapes, when you mature as my disciples.” (MSG) They had to be pruned back by the word of Jesus just so that they would be ready to bear good fruit (15:2).

Lord Keep Our Children And Teachers

School childrenMay the Lord God move by the power of His Word and His Spirit in schools across America in this school year. May He surround our children with His keeping power and may He raise up from them Daniels, Deborahs, Josephs and Davids who impact their environment for the saving of many.

May the Lord Most High keep His powerful hand upon our school teachers in this coming year. May He minister to them their importance in our culture and bless them for giving of themselves to our children. May He protect them and make them righteously effective beyond all logical measures for the children’s future and the future of our nation.

“…They are to give good counsel and be teachers of what is right and noble,” (Titus 2:3, Amp)

Accomplished Because Of Connection

Jesus got done what He got done because of His connection with the Father. He accomplished what He accomplished because of that connection. Jn 5:19  Jesus said to the Jews, “I can guarantee this truth: The Son cannot do anything on his own. He can do only what he sees the Father doing. Indeed, the Son does exactly what the Father does.” (GW)  The fruit of our lives is a witness of the connections we have made. In Jn.15:4 Jesus makes it plain that the only way a branch can produce fruit is to live in the vine, i.e., be properly connected.

Encouraged For America’s Future

Pray for AmericaAs the people of God assemble today, may the Lord encourage them for the future of our
nation and their vital part in assuring that future. May they be encouraged that their
prayers and partnership are significant in His workings in America. May they receive
His assurance that they shall not be moved out of purpose nor off the foundation of God Almighty.

“God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:  God shall help her, and that right early.” (Ps.46:5)

“He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.” (Ps.62:6)

Finding That Which Is Lost

finding something

 

May the Lord help you to find that lost purse, lost wallet,
lost credit card, lost money, lost jewelry, lost papers.
May many rejoice with you.

“imagine a woman who has ten coins and loses one.
Won’t she light a lamp and scour the house, looking
in every nook and cranny until she finds it? And
when she finds it you can be sure she’ll call her
friends and neighbors: ‘Celebrate with me! I
found my lost coin!’” (Lk.15:8-9, Msg)

The Most Valuable Connection Of All

ConnectionJesus had the most valuable connection of all, connection with the Father and His desire was that we might experience that connection. The Father set things up in such a way that we may have connection with Him through Jesus so that we can do what Jesus did. Jn 17:21  “I pray that all of these people continue to have unity in the way that you, Father, are in me and I am in you.” (GW)  Then Jesus goes on to illustrate to us the flow of power and energy to the branches of the vine which produce the grapes. That flow and fruitfulness is a result of that connection. Jn 15:4  “Live in me. Make your home in me just as I do in you. In the same way that a branch can’t bear grapes by itself but only by being joined to the vine, you can’t bear fruit unless you are joined with me. 5  “I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you’re joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can’t produce a thing.” (MSG)

Sweet Dreams

dreams

 

May you begin a habit of dreaming sweet dreams and
awake refreshed with a sense of hope and expectation.

“Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action
of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry
out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and
above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond
our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]—” (Eh.3:20, Amp)
