7/08/20 Your Obedience Helps Others

As a father and husband, if you are where you’re supposed to be with God, then those in your circle of influence have a much better chance of being where they’re supposed to be. It stands to reason that if you are setting an example of obedience to God and make it comfortable for your family to walk in obedience to God, they will be able to search His heart for their lives.

Conversely, if you are going about your days moving in your own thoughts and abilities, never really understanding the importance of finding His heart and His will, they will do the same simply because it’s a family pattern you’ve established. Is it any wonder that so many families are fractured and directionless as far as God is concerned? Is it any wonder that most families will not be prepared to face the challenges on the horizon and will seek direction from other sources than the Lord?

Your job, dads, is to provide an atmosphere of dependence on the Lord in every area of your life and each situation you face. In doing so, you will be allowing those around you to do the same. That dependence is the only place of faultless direction and powerful wisdom available to any of them to face every challenge, even when you’re not around. Cultivating the habit of seeking God for direction and following that direction in absolute obedience is the best gift you can give to those around you. It’s the only place of real safety for all of you.

Jesus loved doing only His Father’s will. If you and your wife love walking in obedience to Him, your children will have the freedom to follow His will, too. That’s a very good thing! Will you walk in obedience to help your family do likewise?

7/08/20 A Completed Work

“If you love My Son, I call you perfect. You have gone from being separated from Me to Me calling you My friend and My child. I have longed for these days since the very beginning. I have planned for them, so that I will have My people to share the wonders of My heart. Never think that you are the same as those who are still outside of My choices for them. Never see yourself as unacceptable in My eyes just because you don’t act perfectly. I am simply not through refining your motives and purifying your heart. It will happen. I will complete My promised work in you.

"For now, look past who you are now and understand that I welcome you in My arms every time that you come to Me. Jesus has done that for you. To Me, you are perfect.”

Romans 8:17 NIV

Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ…

2 Cor. 3:18 AMP

And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.

2 Cor. 5:17 AMP

Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ, (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!

Hebrews 10:14 NIV

…because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

Throughout our very ordinary days, you and I are shown how imperfect our lives are and how little we resemble the life of Jesus. From God’s perspective, however, we are seen as perfect because of our acceptance of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Because we have submitted to His Lordship over our lives, an astounding thing has happened. We have been spiritually changed. We are no longer outside the family of God. We are now called His children, His greatly loved children.

The next time you are blinded to what Jesus has done for you and in you, remember how your Father in heaven sees you. He sees you as perfect and on your way to living perfectly by the power of the cross and the continued work of the Holy Spirit.

Thanking You just doesn’t seem like enough, Lord,

7/07/20 Encounters with God

Men, as leaders of those under your stewardship, are you preparing yourself for an encounter with God? Does your heart long for such intimacy that only His personal invitation into His throne room - where He anoints you in preparation for the times and seasons ahead - will satisfy you? If not, why not?

You have been born spiritually because of the work of Jesus. You have been invited into an intimate relationship with your Father in heaven. You have been called and selected to walk with Him throughout your days in continual communion. He has become your Father in the truest sense of the word.

He is also your Almighty God. Meeting with Him on a regular basis will change you. Any encounter you are privileged to have will destroy all those things that hinder you from walking in His truths. It will change how you think, how you act, and you will know why you have been given breath. You will have answers for yourself and for those around you.

As a watchman looking past what we have been told to believe and observing what is really on the horizon, I am convinced that nothing but the keeping power of God will suffice in the near future. Nothing but clear directions and God-ordained paths will be safe places to travel. Those paths only come from having moment by moment encounters with a loving, direction-giving Father. He is waiting to meet with you long and often. Maybe it’s time to make such encounters the priority of your life - for your sake and for those around you.

7/07/20 Together Again

“One of the most wonderful effects of the work of the cross is that you and I can be together just as Adam and Eve were with Me before they fell into rebellion. I used to walk in the cool of the day so that I could be with My loved ones. Now that I have torn the veil of separation between Us, We can spend as much time together as you desire. I make Myself available to you. You have been formed and reborn so that We can communicate.

"Come to Me today. I love Our time together. Each time you come, you can remember the power of what Jesus has done and be grateful for His love for you. He knows how important it is for you to be with Me.”

Gen. 3:8 NIV

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

Mark 15:37-38 AMP

37) And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed out His life.

38) And the curtain [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

Few of us fully appreciate all that the cross of Jesus Christ has done for us. God, our Father, is at all times showing us that intimate fellowship with Him is the position for which each of us has been created. We are made to function hand-in-hand with our Father in Heaven. The guidelines on how to function that way have been made available to us in His Word. His constant urgings to be like Christ, to lay our lives down, to deny ourselves, to take up our cross, and to make God first in our lives are love messages to the bridal heart of Jesus. He also promises to do everything to initiate and accomplish those changes.

True intimacy is our privilege. If we look to our own needs and place our Lord somewhere behind them, our precious, loving Father promises to bring His priorities back in order in our lives. He has committed to do so. We have committed to need Him to do it.

Make me more aware of what You’ve done, Lord,

The Presence of God

When Moses was asked to move for the Lord, he knew if the presence of the Lord didn't go with him, it made no sense to go. He said that without the presence of the Lord he would look just like the myriad of false prophets who heralded their wares and beliefs. Nobody would know the difference between him and them.

In today's world, most of the church looks and sounds just like all the other voices who herald their opinions. We look just like all those other guys. I wonder what's missing from our representation. If it's the presence of the Lord, we'd better seek Him enough to gain it.
