One Direction

There are many paths to choose in this life. As people who love Jesus, we find ourselves following the Holy Spirit into many situations, traveling many roads to accomplish what we've been told to do because we've spent time with our Father in heaven to learn His will for us.

Although our lives may take many paths as we follow what we're called to do for Him, they all really have one single direction. They're all designed to lead us to intimacy with Him, and bring our hearts to the cross of Jesus Christ, so we can represent Him properly to a dying world.

7/31/20 What Does Your Wife Need?

As a husband, your position is one of service, never dominance. If you really understand Ephesians 5, you will see that you are to lay down your life for your wife in the same way that Jesus laid down His life for you. He gave Himself up for you. In God’s eyes, loving your wife as Christ loved the church is the only reason you are to leave your father and mother and be married.

With that in mind, what does your wife need? I don’t mean what does she want, but what does she need to help her become everything she is supposed to be in Christ? What kind of fertile soil are you providing for her to prosper spiritually?

Your marriage relationship is to be an example of the relationship Christ has with the church. The world is supposed to see Jesus through how they perceive your interaction with your wife. How is that working for you? How do your actions toward your wife - caring for her spiritual life, placing her before yourself, communication to others about her - reflect the character of Jesus in front of others?

In general, men, the family is out of order in this world, mostly because men don’t comprehend the impact of their actions toward their wives. You as a man need to understand the spiritual implications of your husband to wife interactions. You need to know that interaction not only affects your whole family, it affects how those who are watching you see Jesus. Your continual awareness of your wife’s needs is one of God’s ways of you fulfilling your offices of husband and father in His eyes. He considers it good stuff! Do you?

7/31/20 Listen with Your Heart

“I have some people that I need you to invest in. Some of them do not like either Me or you. Some you know already; some others I will bring to you. You will recognize them if you open your eyes and listen with your heart. They look very much like you did a while ago. Don’t let them pass you by without allowing them to know a little more about Jesus, OK? I’m counting on you. If you need any help, I’m here for you.”

2 Cor. 5:20a NIV

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us.

Isn’t it amazing that those who come our way and are turned away for one reason or another are, more than likely, the ones sent to us by God? I wonder if any of us would keep an employee for any length of time if he had the pitiful track record at his task that we have when it comes to showing Jesus to the ones sent to us. Still, our Lord puts up with our selfishness and waits patiently for us to grow up.

Grow me up, Lord,

7/30/20 Leading Others to a Loving God

This relationship with God is all about love. While involved in the tangles of the jungle of this world, we so often forget why we serve God. Tasks and demands in this life tend to become priorities. Obligations and responsibilities of marriage and fatherhood sometimes become overwhelming. All of this can cloud the main reason we serve God. That cloud can make us ineffective in leading others to Him.

Let’s remember so that we can tell others. Jesus chose to die because of His great love. God made that covenant with us because of His great love. We can love others because we have the confidence that we are loved with an unquenchable, reliable love. God’s love will never let us go or forsake us. He will always be there for us no matter how many times we violate His love or our commitment to Him.

If you lead those around you in love as a husband and father, you will see incredible results with your efforts to show them Jesus. If you love others even with a modicum of the love that has been given to you, many will be unable to resist the One Who has placed that love in you. It costs you nothing; give it a shot!

7/30/20 Aaron and Hur

“Where are My advocates? Where are those holding up the arms of My frontline servants? Jesus is your Advocate. He gave everything He had, so that you could prosper and be with Me. He is still standing in the gap for you. I expect you to do the same for others. Pour out your life as an oil. Bind hurts with your love and support. Minister healing to the weary. You will bring joy to Me as you pour your life into others. I will then pour My life into you.”

Exodus 17:12 AMP

But Moses’ hands were heavy and grew weary. So [the other men] took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side and one on the other side; so his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

2 Chr 16:9 NIV

“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him...”

Matthew 25:23 NIV

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!’”

John 13:33-34 NIV

33) “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

34) All men will know that you are My disciples if you love one another.”

Are you ever an honest advocate for anyone? Jesus had a passion to empty Himself and live a life devoted to others. He would never lift Himself up or hold Himself in higher esteem than anyone else – even the lowliest leper. Even though He was God, He held everyone in His heart as more important than Himself; especially those who laughed at, tortured, and crucified Him. He could not be wounded by their sin; He could only see their desperate need.

In the true spirit of advocacy, Jesus also desires to see His Father put first and is constantly looking to have Him glorified. His delight is in having Father God as the object of esteem in the hearts of those He loves. All of His mortal life, and now all of His kingly life, undergirds and points to the Father. There is no “one-sidedness,” however, as all of the Godhead - in unity of spirit, being one - point to each other’s wealth.

As the Author and Finisher of our faith, Jesus, who functions as our advocate, delights to see us accepted and perfected. He would gladly go to the cross again and again if He had to, so that we could prosper and be complete in His Father’s love; and so that His Father would continually have the pleasure of our company. (Praise God that everything was finished once and for all at Calvary!)

With Jesus as our example, and with the Father’s love flowing through us, we are to walk as advocates for our Lord, each other as believers, and then on behalf of those who have need. Our adoption into the family of God, our sonship, gives each of us the heritage and ability to do so through the power of the Holy Spirit.

I choose to cooperate as You get rid of the me in me, Lord,
