7/28/20 Daddy Issues

Over the years I have discovered that one of the most prominent foundations for harmful or broken behavior stems from issues dealing with the father figure in some way. Abuse of any kind by the father can bring a lifetime of pain and suffering. That’s obvious; but what about the father who is absent physically or in spirit - meaning “he just wasn’t there” or “he was too busy”? That basically non-existent relationship has no doubt caused harm to countless men and women through the ages.

God has established the offices of husband and father as the highest offices on this earth. A proper covering by the father creates a generation of men and women who can become key players in God’s kingdom work. Conversely, a father who has no idea how to use his office effectively is a catalyst for producing a generation of wounded, hurting offspring who may never recover sufficiently to join the Lord in furthering His plans. Because of the errant actions of the father, these wounded children - of any age - will not truly be set free until they are functioning under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Men, your God-ordained role of father is far more important than you could ever imagine. God designed the office you’ve been given to give your offspring fertile gardens where they can grow and prosper, and become vessels that God can use to change their world. Anything less than that will be something you will answer for when you stand before Him unless you repent and change your ways.

It’s not too late! Today you can ask the Lord to undo anything you’ve done that is harmful to those He has given you to steward. Today you can call upon the Lord for His power to make you a steadfast vessel for Him, so that you are equipped to lead your children past any “daddy issues” they may have because of your ignorance. Today Father God is ready to make you the kind of father He intends you to be for the good of your children and those they impact. He will even take you past your own “daddy issues” so that you can prosper. Are you willing to walk it out?

7/28/20 A Diet of Worldly Food

“Your innermost man is designed to exist on food from Me through the power of My Holy Spirit. It thrives on My Word. It is nourished only in My presence. You can find no nourishment from the things of the world now that you have been formed to exist in My world. You are a new creation. It is about time you recognize that.

"A diet of worldly food starves the spiritual being that you have become. It has no nourishment for who you are becoming in Jesus. Even pre-digested food, food and wisdom from those who know Me, will not sustain you for long. You will become weak and spiritually lethargic in the ways of the Spirit. You need to spend time in My presence. You need to eat at My banquet table. I need you to be fit and ready for My work. Stop eating the things that your inner being sees as junk food. Receive My power from My Spirit. Learn to eat properly from My hand or you will atrophy to My ways.”

John 4:34 NIV

”My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.”

John 6:57 AMP

Just as the living Father sent Me and I live by (through, because of) the Father, even so whoever continues to feed on Me [whoever takes Me for his food and is nourished by Me] shall [in his turn] live through and because of Me.

Most Christians today are so busy running after the opinions of others regarding Who God is and what He is saying in these end times, that they have forgotten how to hear from Him themselves. It is easier to read how some Bible expert interprets chapters and verses of the Bible than it is to spend the kind of time necessary to receive the rhema Word in our own spirits from the Holy Spirit.

Unless we have an intimate relationship with the Lord from being with our Lord and in His Word, we will not notice when worldly influences creep in and destroy God’s call to holiness. We will become dry and dead if we continue our pursuit of someone else’s opinion and interpretation. We are invited to come into the presence of the One Who spoke the world into existence because of the blood of Jesus. What could possibly be important or powerful enough to stop us from going there?

Teach me to only value Your opinion, Lord,

7/27/20 Circumstances

Few of us really understand how much circumstances rule our lives. Most of us men react to circumstances in the same way we did before we came to the Lord. We analyze the situation, check on the options, and then make the decision that seems best based on the known criteria. Few of us really understand how far that is from the way the Lord desires us to act.

Our Lord functions in the supernatural. His purposes are far from our way of thinking. As we are making decisions which seem best based on what we know, what if the Lord is using the circumstances to train us or those around us? What if He is not looking for the logical decision because He knows more about the ultimate result than we do? What if He wants you to do the illogical, even foolish, so your faith in Him can grow?

Often I have made a decision that seemed like a step of faith, thinking I was obedient to the Lord’s wishes, only to find myself in a boxed canyon with no way out. I had prayed, sought counsel and then moved, thinking that things would work out perfectly. When they didn’t, I thought I had missed God. God, on the other hand, had me just where He wanted me. I needed Him because I found myself with no answers. The circumstance had nothing to do with success or failure, but it had to do with my training. It had to do with the need for me to be out of answers and surrendering myself to Him - a much deeper work than I thought was being done.

Men, we are in training to hear God and move only where and when He desires to move. Our bottom line is answers. His bottom line is to make us more like Jesus, doing nothing of ourselves and trusting Him in all things. Will you trust Him wherever He leads?

7/27/20 God’s Future Plans

“The explosion at the grave did much more than bring the most important person Who ever lived back to life. It modified the creation model forever, furthering My plan and providing a pathway for mankind to interact with Me eternally through the blood of Jesus. It established new boundaries for My interaction with you for this season of your existence. It set in motion a new eternity and at the same time began the countdown to the end of life as you know it.

"Soon I will usher in a new heaven and a new earth. It will complete the era in which you live and begin another phase of the expression of Who I am. How involved do you want to be in My future plans? Although access to Me is provided for you through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, your commitment level to Him in this season shows Me much. It shows your sincerity and devotion to Me and whatever I have in mind for the future.

"Understand that I am, at this moment in time, building a generation to interact with Me for eternity. Your life commitment in Jesus is being scrutinized and recorded. How you choose to implement the new life I have given you, and how you take advantage of the unlimited access that you have to Me, greatly impacts how I will use you in My eternal future.”

Eph. 4:12-13 AMP

12) His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church),

13 [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ and the completeness found in Him.

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. 2:26 NIV

“To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations.”

Most of us are so short-sighted that we apply what we have been given through Jesus only to our waking moments on this earth. God always interacts from an eternal perspective. We act and react from our limited perspective of what is best for us this very moment.

Until we determine in our hearts to get in line with God’s heart for His reasons, we are missing out on more than we could ever imagine. We are also failing to realize how important our days are. We may think that we are benefiting from consuming all that the Lord has provided on ourselves. We fail to realize the eternal impact of our selfishness.

Open my eyes, Lord,

Jim Corbett
