God’s plans for His own continue regardless of present circumstances. (2) Though surrounded by fire Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were unharmed and did not even smell like smoke. Regardless that actual fire was present all around them, touching them, it did not function like fire where they were concerned. It functioned normally upon the men who threw them in but not on the three Hebrews. God altered elements and circumstances to fulfill His purposes.

A few years ago at a conference I discovered that you could call in a church growth specialist for $20,000 and he would set your church on a program that would insure steady growth. Recently a friend told me that their church paid a church growth specialist $40,000 to train the staff and members but, because of various unavoidable incidents, the program never was implemented. I have knowledge of a deep, virtually unknown secret I found in an ancient book that will save churches tens of thousands of dollars and I share it here with you all for free: ”…walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.” (Acts 9:31b–The Bible)

Dates, predictions and signs come and go in every generation and during and after the book writing and prophesying of it all, and after the hubbub, frenzy, fear and debates subside, creation is still left groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God. We are surrounded by masses who wish their lives were different. It would not do creation nor the miserable masses an ounce of good for sons of God to be manifest somewhere out there in the distant, eternal future. Creation is not groaning for the cessation of time but for the benefits received when the King’s sons rule wisely and authoritatively with their Father’s character in real time, in present circumstances (Matt.10:7-8; Mk.16:17-20).

While there are people in every generation who have illusions and fears about moons, celebrations and calendar dates, let us all fear GOD and walk before Him uprightly through all the comings and goings of signs and dates and books and CDs. In spite of illusions, may the people of God live fruitfully and effectively while perfect love is casting out the fear created by those illusions (1Jn.4:18). “But against all illusion and fantasy and empty talk There’s always this rock foundation: Fear God!” (Eccl.5:7, Msg)

May you realize right through the haze of doubt and shortcomings and delays
that it is not over for you and the purpose that God has put in you. May you
come to realize today that the God who does not give up has not given up on
you and getting you to destiny. Father God does not give up and does not
stop moving by the power of His mighty hand.
”The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord,
endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.” (Ps.138:8, NKJV)

Fear of the perceived possibilities of dark calamity and destruction of society and cherished comfort zones pervades pulpits, parishioners and personal lives. BUT, wait, I think I found a SECRET in John 8! ”Jesus said to the people, ‘I am the Light of the world. So if you follow me, you won’t be stumbling through the darkness, for living light will flood your path.’” (Jn.8:12, LB) The greater the darkness, the brighter the light. You cannot turn on darkness and get light to flee but you can turn on light and watch darkness flee.

Your Home #29—May your home be a place of honor where each family member honors the other. May your home be a place where honor of others outside your family is spoken of. May your home be a place where honor is not just taught but caught and practiced.

Listening to some Christians talk at church, in the marketplace and in social media, at the end of the day, it sounds like they have decided they 
“want off the program”. Their terminology accompanied by accents of fear leaves the impression that they have completely forgotten the mandate of our LORD, “Go ye into all the world” (i.e., all seven mountains of influence in culture to establish the government and culture of Jehovah) and have opted for “get off the program—get off the planet”. One thing western Christianity must continually contend with is the desire to get off the planet every time our comfort zones appear to be threatened. A couple of Walmart closures had some Christians so upset that they believed most of what misguided and mischievous people on the internet were attempting to perpetrate about the closures and were ready to go to heaven. While they were ready to go to heaven, creation continued to groan for manifestation of the sons of God (Rom.8:19, 22) rather than the departure of God’s sons for some place more comfortable. Since when is fear, of any kind, to be the rule upon which the decision to opt in or opt out of Christ’s mandate tolerable? Somehow, it is very difficult to imagine Apostle Paul having a nervous breakdown over a colorful moon or the inability to purchase kosher food right in one’s own neighborhood. Until the mandate of The Lord is fulfilled (Ps.110:1), there is no option offered to “get off this program”, regardless the moon. There is no scripture that says, “Be ye slackers and fearful so things can get worse quicker so the coming of the Lord can happen sooner.” (Compare: Gen.15:1; Deut.20:3;31:6; Josh.1:7; 2Chron.32:7; Lk.12:7; 12:32; Rev.1:17) Jesus said, “Go ye” (Matt.28:19) and He never said, “Come back”.

Counsel For Living #3— Heb.1:2, (Amp)-“in these last days He has
spoken to us BY HIS SON… v.3-“… the EXACT REPRESENTATION
of His Father’s essence…” Why should we have any less goal? “Come
close to God and He will come close to you.” (Js.4:8, Amp) Intimacy
requires two parties drawing close, not just one. Sons draw close to
the Father so they can be “the exact representation”. Close isn’t
for chill bumps but for representation.

The young woman was in the throes of birth pangs and she was screaming at the top of her lungs for relief. She and her husband had taken classes over the previous months and he was supposed to be coaching her with her breathing. She had him by the chest hairs, calling him names and 
demanding this thing be over with as quickly and painlessly as possible. The young man had never seen his quiet, little, soft-spoken wife like this in all the six years of their marriage. The nurse grabbed the young man’s shoulder and said sir, “You must tell your wife to breathe, breathe!” He turned to the nurse, grabbing her by the shoulders and, totally exasperated, yelled, “Breathe, breathe nothing! We want off this program!”
The beauty and unity of her assisted birth by her husband was so ideally desired that they could not imagine anything that could possibly upset the serene, well-planned event that would make the memory of a lifetime for them and their precious child. But when difficulties arose and comfort zones were totally surpassed by the rude reality of the moment, they both decided that they wanted off the program.
The program of the Lord Jesus Christ is that His redeemed ones would be salt and light, reconcilers of men to God and manifest Him to a groaning creation. There is no “opt out” button included with the program. “Salvation does not mean flight and escape from the lower material world to a higher spiritual world; it means the redemption of the realm of human history by the invasion of the spiritual realm of God, so that the historical realm is lifted to a new and higher level of existence.” (George Eldon Ladd, “The Theology of the New Testament”, p.489)

May you go over the top and beyond what you have hoped for in gaining victory in your life, your health, your finances and your calling. May you not just get up to ground level but soar beyond any measure you have know heretofore.
”It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail not. They are new every morning; GREAT AND BEYOND MEASURE IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS. The Lord is my portion or share, says my living being (my inner self); therefore will I hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.” (Lam.3:22-24, Amp)

If marriage statistics are stalking yours or if your finances are boiling down to coins in a can or if you have been hit with an undeniable diagnosis, lift your head and CHOOSE LIFE, no matter how difficult it is because the Word says: it is not too difficult for you, (Deut 30:11), it isn’t too much for you, it’s not out of your reach. The word is very near you, in your mouth, in your mind and in your heart. You can do this. Deut 30:20 says to CHOOSE LIFE by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice and by holding fast to Him. That same verse tells us why, so that we and our descendants may live long in the land which we possess. Choosing life is taking ground. We take acreage out of every cocoon of circumstances that we overcome. We gather real-estate that becomes inheritance for at least four generations as well as inspiration for all those that feel the ripple of our life!

In a true safari record, a hunter shot a lion, but it kept coming and hit the man with a full-body-force lunge that slammed the man on his back and flung his rifle into the tall grass! Nailed to the ground, the hunter was about to be eaten. It was inevitable, unavoidable and inescapable, but the man CHOSE LIFE. He stuck his hand in that monster’s gaping mouth and grabbed its tongue, twisted it and shoved it back into the lion’s throat. The desperate grip kept the tongue at such an angle that the lion couldn’t even shut his jaw. That hunter lay there, determined to follow through on his choice while the hot breath of his enemy filled his nostrils and thick saliva slimed down his arm and every bone in the man’s body vibrated under the growl of the glaring beast. The man continued the choke-hold for forty-five minutes while his guide ran for the jeep and returned to run over the lion and kill it! Choose Life, even in the face of the inevitable, unavoidable and inescapable.

May you receive refunds and replacements where needed and
may people and companies admit overcharges and correct
and give proper credit on your accounts.

Since choice can be an automatic reflex, we must train ourselves to CHOOSE LIFE. Of course, re-training ourselves is not a stroll in the park. Re-training is never easy because we can’t take down-time to work on it. Re-training happens during real-life problems that just can’t be scheduled. They never come at a good time. Hell’s attacks are never fair. It is very difficult to contradict your emotions, especially when you’ve cried enough to salt a creek and used enough Kleenex to rub your nose right off your face. How do you choose life when you are dealing with relationship issues with someone who won’t even try? How do you choose life when you’re weary because you’ve already made that choice for months, for years, yet you are still smothering in changelessness? It’s difficult to choose life, again and again, when you’re still in the grip of pain and it’s taunting you daily. But in spite of difficulty we must CHOOSE LIFE in order to bring CHANGE in our lifetime.

May we see the hand of the Lord moving everywhere we look today.
May we see His possibilities. May we consider the supremacy and viability
of His Word in each situation and declare that supremacy and viability.
“At the end of ·that time [the days], I, Nebuchadnezzar, ·looked up [L lifted my eyes] toward heaven [acknowledging God’s supremacy], and ·I could think normally again [ my reason was restored to me]! Then I ·gave praise to [blessed] the Most High God; I gave honor and glory to him who lives forever. “God’s ·rule is forever [ sovereignty is an eternal sovereignty], and his kingdom continues for ·all time [ all generations].” (Dan.4:34, Expanded Bible)

Something to understand about choice is that it is often a reflex. When we get boxed in by conditions and circumstances, we are likely to automatically make choices whether we mean to or not. An unconscious choice for many is to ignore or deny the cocoon and conditions. Or, without realizing it, we can choose to believe we have no choice and can only be a victim. It is also sometimes easy to choose to trust self or others instead of God. However, only choosing to trust God is choosing life.

“As the people of God assemble today, may Jesus Himself and God our Father
surprise them in their midst with His gifts of help and edification and put a fresh,
courageous heart in each one and invigorate their work.
”So, friends, take a firm stand, feet on the ground and head high. Keep a tight grip on what you were taught, whether in personal conversation or by our letter. May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, enliven your speech.” (2Thess.2:15-17, Msg)

May hurting ones realize that the Lord God has not added any
sorrow to their lives. Our beneficent God adds rich blessing.
May those blessings quickly push through the crust of hurt
and disillusionment and come to full bloom.
“It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich,
And He adds no sorrow to it.” (Pro 10:22)

able to buy back time that the locusts have eaten.”

We can have strong muscles like abs, quads and biceps, but the biggest muscle we need is trust in our God. We use the trust muscle every time we choose life. When Job said, “Though He slay me, yet I’ll trust Him,” he wasn’t accusing God of being behind all His suffering. He was saying, “Even if God were trying to kill me, I would still choose to trust Him!” That is CHOOSING LIFE. Job’s choice broke through the cocoon he was in (which were extremely overwhelming, tough circumstances) and his choice brought him to resolve and restoration.

A few years ago at a conference I discovered that you could call in a church growth specialist for $20,000 and he would set your church on a program that would insure steady growth. Recently a friend told me that their church paid a church growth specialist $40,000 to train the staff and members but, because of various unavoidable incidents, the program never was implemented. I have knowledge of a deep, virtually unknown secret I found in an ancient book that will save churches tens of thousands of dollars and I share it here with you all for free: ”…walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.” (Acts 9:31b–The Bible)
Dates, predictions and signs come and go in every generation and during and after the book writing and prophesying of it all, and after the hubbub, frenzy, fear and debates subside, creation is still left groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God. We are surrounded by masses who wish their lives were different. It would not do creation nor the miserable masses an ounce of good for sons of God to be manifest somewhere out there in the distant, eternal future. Creation is not groaning for the cessation of time but for the benefits received when the King’s sons rule wisely and authoritatively with their Father’s character in real time, in present circumstances (Matt.10:7-8; Mk.16:17-20).
“want off the program”. Their terminology accompanied by accents of fear leaves the impression that they have completely forgotten the mandate of our LORD, “Go ye into all the world” (i.e., all seven mountains of influence in culture to establish the government and culture of Jehovah) and have opted for “get off the program—get off the planet”. One thing western Christianity must continually contend with is the desire to get off the planet every time our comfort zones appear to be threatened. A couple of Walmart closures had some Christians so upset that they believed most of what misguided and mischievous people on the internet were attempting to perpetrate about the closures and were ready to go to heaven. While they were ready to go to heaven, creation continued to groan for manifestation of the sons of God (Rom.8:19, 22) rather than the departure of God’s sons for some place more comfortable. Since when is fear, of any kind, to be the rule upon which the decision to opt in or opt out of Christ’s mandate tolerable? Somehow, it is very difficult to imagine Apostle Paul having a nervous breakdown over a colorful moon or the inability to purchase kosher food right in one’s own neighborhood. Until the mandate of The Lord is fulfilled (Ps.110:1), there is no option offered to “get off this program”, regardless the moon. There is no scripture that says, “Be ye slackers and fearful so things can get worse quicker so the coming of the Lord can happen sooner.” (Compare: Gen.15:1; Deut.20:3;31:6; Josh.1:7; 2Chron.32:7; Lk.12:7; 12:32; Rev.1:17) Jesus said, “Go ye” (Matt.28:19) and He never said, “Come back”.
demanding this thing be over with as quickly and painlessly as possible. The young man had never seen his quiet, little, soft-spoken wife like this in all the six years of their marriage. The nurse grabbed the young man’s shoulder and said sir, “You must tell your wife to breathe, breathe!” He turned to the nurse, grabbing her by the shoulders and, totally exasperated, yelled, “Breathe, breathe nothing! We want off this program!”
If marriage statistics are stalking yours or if your finances are boiling down to coins in a can or if you have been hit with an undeniable diagnosis, lift your head and CHOOSE LIFE, no matter how difficult it is because the Word says: it is not too difficult for you, (Deut 30:11), it isn’t too much for you, it’s not out of your reach. The word is very near you, in your mouth, in your mind and in your heart. You can do this. Deut 30:20 says to CHOOSE LIFE by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice and by holding fast to Him. That same verse tells us why, so that we and our descendants may live long in the land which we possess. Choosing life is taking ground. We take acreage out of every cocoon of circumstances that we overcome. We gather real-estate that becomes inheritance for at least four generations as well as inspiration for all those that feel the ripple of our life!
It is difficult to even remember you have a choice when you are pinned to the ground and the inevitable, unavoidable and inescapable is in your face like a 400lb., full grown, male lion! In a true safari record, a hunter shot a lion, but it kept coming and hit the man with a full-body-force lunge that slammed the man on his back and flung his rifle into the tall grass!
