11/06/23 For One Another

Is your family for one another? I don’t mean, do they tolerate one another; I mean, are they interested in protecting the interests of the other before their own interests? Are you an example of being for your wife? Is she safe in the understanding that you will make decisions concerning her for her best interests rather than your own?

It’s mandatory in God’s eyes concerning marriage, you know! Ephesians states that you are to love your wife just as Christ loves the church. He gave up His own interests - even His life - for the church. You are to do the same for your wife.

Whether you know it or not, your children are watching how you behave with your wife. They understand your selfish, self-interested behavior, and do the same toward you and the other members of your family. They learn a self-serving spirit from you. They learn to look out for themselves first, just as you do.

On the other hand, if you serve everyone - looking out for their best interests before yours, especially your wife - you fall in line with the heart of God. His power then reigns over your family. His life is given to those who act selflessly toward others. It is the pattern Jesus set, so He honors it.

If you want your family to be healed, lay down your self-serving life and determine to serve your wife and your children with a Christ-like attitude. Become for them rather than for your own interests. It may take a while to turn the selfish tide you’ve set, but as you continue to show your children the life of Jesus through your actions, they will begin to turn their hearts also. Become for those around you, and watch the life of Jesus weave His love to all concerned.

11/04/23 Unfolding as He Speaks

“My heart awaits the completion of promised events in your world. Make no mistake; they are unfolding as we speak. Soon you will witness the confusion of those in My church who haven’t heeded My warnings and heard My call. They will miss so much because they have perused their own selfish motives and have not heeded the warnings I have given. Those who have not turned their lives to Jesus will need answers; but there will be none, except in Him.

"You, however - those of you who hear and respond - will not be surprised. Keep close to Me. Continue to listen carefully to My heart. Move as I tell you to move. To you I can whisper whatever is on My heart. You will hear everything I say because you practice being close to Me. You will miss nothing.”

Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV

1) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

2) Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3) Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Rev. 22:17 AMP

The [Holy] Spirit and the bride (the church, the true Christians) say, Come! And let him who is listening say, Come! And let everyone come who is thirsty [who is painfully conscious of his need of those things by which the soul is refreshed, supported and strengthened]; and whoever [earnestly] desires to do it, let him come, take, appropriate, and drink the water of Life without cost.”

The heart separations that are subtly happening in the ranks of those who say they are following Jesus and those who have really committed everything to His Lordship are important to notice. I am convinced that they indicate a season coming to fulfillment. Those who have learned to practice the heart of the Lord above all the din of religious activity are being defined and equipped for honest service to their only Master, Jesus Christ. A strong, vibrant, honorable bridal heart is rising from the fires of adversity and testing. She has purchased gold and proper clothing from the lap of her Father and God, and been formed to receive only what is served at the Master’s table.

Oh God! Let me hear and obey,

11/04/23 Determined to Take the Time

With all the demands that are on us as husbands and fathers, the idea of changing our focus to pursue holiness as our priority goal seems impossible. Without a holy heart, however - one that is totally dedicated to making the Lord and His priorities our priorities - there is little hope of overcoming the world and its challenges. There is also little chance of us leading those we steward to spiritually safe places.

In a world that is proclaiming darkness out loud and bent on destroying anything that resembles Christ-like living, our only hope is to dwell in an immovable place in God’s presence and power. That can only come from making a determination to pursue His throne-room presence with every fiber of our being. There is no more important task, as formidable as it may seem.

In the soon coming darkness, those who are wise will already have determined to refocus their lives. Because we say that we follow Jesus, we must walk and conduct ourselves as He walked and conducted Himself when He was on this earth. We are to make it our only priority to seek God and His ways. That will require a determination to take the time necessary to find an intimate relationship with the Lord, if we want to overcome the world as He did. In leading a full life, the last thing we want to eliminate is the only source of hope we have. Why have we chosen to do so?

11/03/23 Understanding the Heart of Jesus

“To gain a bridal heart, you need to become a study of Jesus. It must be your priority for living. It is imperative to learn what thrills Him, what grieves Him, what He will not tolerate, and what breaks His heart. That is just the beginning. You are to take the heart posture of holding Him in high esteem to the world, defend His reputation; and maintain His honor out of love for Him. This can only be achieved by devoting yourself to learn of everything that He is and all that He desires. You must gain an understanding of His heart and take on His desires as your own.

"Few feel the need to invest so much of their time learning of Him. You will have little company as you pay the price required to gain this knowledge on your way to a love relationship. Stay the course, however. You have found the innermost desire of My heart. I am with you.”

Phil. 3:10-11 AMP

10) [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope]

11) That if possible I may attain to the [spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body].

Rev. 19:7 NIV

Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

Those who have responded to the call that the Holy Spirit has issued know that their relationship with Jesus is much more than the initial salvation experience. It is far beyond a system of good works, greater than any and every program, past functional obedience, and continually resisting the temptation for personal gain. Their quest is to have selfless intimacy and a personal love relationship with Jesus. They have begun to understand His heart and pray for the power to mirror it at any cost. To please only Him has become their goal.

We choose to love only You, Lord,

11/03/23 Be Holy

If the picture you have in your mind of someone who is holy includes a halo, a Caspar Milquetoast demeanor, and a mentality that flees at the onset of any conflict, you are way off. A holy man of God is a mighty warrior for the kingdom of God, his marriage, and his family.

To be holy means to be totally separated from the world, its siren songs, and its attachments. It means to be unashamedly dedicated to the Lord, focusing solely on living out the life of Jesus in daily life. A holy man is, therefore, untouchable by the world, unavailable to any fearful distractions, and unreachable when called upon to violate any portion of the heart of God.

If you desire to walk in Holy Spirit power as a husband and father, seek holiness. Seek an intimate, loving relationship with your Father in heaven. Be determined to know the heart of Jesus and live it out on behalf of those you steward. Allow nothing to stop you from walking and conducting yourself as Jesus did. Live a holy, separated life above the world and all its ways. It is your heritage. It is your calling. It is your covenant promise if you seek it with all your heart.

Man of God, be holy as He is holy!
