What Kind Of Man Is This?

They said of Jesus: “What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”  (Mt.8:27) This is the kind of man that exemplifies a son that creation groans for, the kind of man man capethat believes God delegated authority to mankind in Genesis that is still in effect.  Jesus lived as the kind of man that would overcome opposing circumstances and even natural boundaries to bring circumstances into alignment with God’s will, the kind of son who does what he sees the Father doing.  We can do this.  Dominion is doable.  I have a good friend who is gearing up to take dominion over land in Israel that will affect the future and destinies of a generation there. Her plan is incremental, purchase by purchase, life by life.  She’s not doing this because she is experienced at it, but because it is an obedience.  It’s what she sees the Father doing.  I know another lady that was told when she was twenty-three that she would not live long.  Her response was, “That can’t be.  I have too much to do.”  And now in her fifties, she was proven right.  She has lived to build an orphanage in Africa that she makes regular trips to maintain and expand.  By her decision and words she took dominion over a diagnosis and continues to do what she sees the Father doing.  We just have to decide whether we are going to live on the bench with condemnation and fig leaves in fear or doubt, or put on our cape and leotard with the big golden “S” for SON and reach beyond natural to Super-natural and do what Father said we could and would and should.  That is participating and cooperating with the prayer, “Lord, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

May Property Sell

for-sale

 

May the Lord work in behalf of His people so that property sells for the price that it is worth.
May buyers and sellers come together in a timely fashion. May all proceedings and closings
proceed to the desired end without a hitch.

“For God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel, says, “Life is going to return to normal.
Homes and fields and vineyards are again going to be bought in this country.”’ (Jer.32:15, Msg)

To Reach Potential

jumping across“BID me COME,” is a longing to experience the Kingdom of God.  “BID me COME,” is a longing to demonstrate the Authority of God so that my life is more than typical, average Christianity.  It is a longing from the heart of our Father to provoke generations to come to reach their potential in Christ.  The only way we will leave a weak, uninspiring heritage is if we ignore that cry of “BID me COME” within us.  I know I am not a young thing to tackle such a quest, but I also know that even time and age have to bow to the purposes of God.  The empowering truth is that “BID me COME” trumps age.  We are never too old or too young to take ground for His purposes.

Moving In God’s Direction

point the way
Hopefully, we will not shrink back and think we can opt out of choosing to respond to our Lord’s “Come on” (Matt.14:29). If we refuse to cooperate with God’s intent stirring within us, there will be repercussions. For one, not moving forward in God’s direction can leave us to simply become a victim of our present circumstances instead of changing them.  For another, we get cheated out of destiny and fulfillment that would make our lifetime bring glory to God.  For another, we suffer the consequences of disobedience, (which are too varied and numerous to list here.)  Believe it or not, just like it was hard for Jonah to fight cooperating with God, it is not easy for a son to ignore or defy the cry of a son’s heart.

Imparting Freedom

chain breaking

 

As the people of God assemble today may their thoughts, their hearts and their actions be about freedom and liberty in Christ.  May they rejoice in the freedom He has given them and may they impart that freedom to others through their love, compassion, words and actions.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed” (Lk.4:18, GNT)

 

The Son Sets Free

run free

 

July 4th is a celebration about freedom in the USA and we know that the world over “if the Son gives you freedom, you are free!”. (Jn.8:36, CEV)
“[Freedom in Christ] It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” (Gal.5:1, NIV)
“Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves.” (1Pe.2:16, NIV)

 

Minors And Majors In Order

graph

 

How far up on the list have we let “minor” items inch toward “major” positions in recent years? Habits, indulgences and expenditures tend to creep ever upward among priorities and can eventually press biblically-based convictions out of position.  May the Lord help us to keep things in the order that the wisdom of biblical values would put them.
“First things first. Your business is life, not death. Follow me. Pursue life.” (Matt.8:22, Msg)
