7/24/20 A Rhythm Designed in Heaven

“When you are in synchronization with My will, your life beats with a rhythm designed in heaven. There are no fits and stops. There are no immovable obstacles. There are no fearsome turns. Everything is in order and continues in an interactive flow as We communicate and implement, empowered by My Holy Spirit and accomplished through you. Once you fully understand that you have the same access to Me as Jesus did, you will never be out of beat again. You will be where you are supposed to be, when you are supposed to be there. I will be there with you. Our friendship of interaction and implementation will be a symphony performed with precision and completed with power, accomplishing eternal works. That is how you were designed to live.”

Psalm 25:12-14 NIV

12) Who, then, is the man that fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.

13) He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.

14) The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.

Psalm 127:1 AMP

Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.

 

Because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, it is our heritage to flow within the plans of the Lord, living and moving and having our being in Him. Because He really lives in us, it is reasonable to expect there will come a time when our old life of independence will joyously be cast aside and be replaced by a life of full submission to our Father. It is also reasonable to believe that as we move in proper choices, ones initiated and implemented by the Holy Spirit, our lives will ring with the love of the Lord, motivating and touching many through Him and glorifying God as we do. We are truly a blessed people with an astounding opportunity to have our lives really mean something.

Thank You, Lord,

7/23/20 Sins of the Father

The offices of husband and father carry with them a spiritual, protective covering for your wife and family. That covering is like an impenetrable dome over them, which keeps them sheltered from the onslaught meant to nullify their worth. Functioning under it, they have freedom to make their own spiritual choices, but are protected from the enemy’s tactics that are not their fights to engage in.

When you blatantly sin or deviate from God’s Word and choose the ways of the world rather than God’s sold-out ways, that covering is compromised. Because it is not intact, those under your covering are faced with challenges and battles they are not well suited for. You can’t help them because you are ill-equipped to do so. Your decision to focus on the world rather than on the deep things of God violates the safety they need to truly prosper in Christ. That is one of the reasons most young people today are reeling in confusion and spiritual weakness. There is an onslaught against them, and they have no safe place to grow in Christ because you are not providing it.

If your family is not an example of a Christian family as God sees it, you might look to the Lord to show you where you are compromising His plan for you. Where have you violated your office of husband and father? You may have cleaned up the visible sins, but what about the sin of disloyalty to God in all things? What about your life of neglected time with the Lord? What about choosing to handle the urgent matters you face in your own strength rather than surrendering them fully?

It’s time to really take account of your life, men. Are you on your face for your wife to become all she can be in Christ? Is the spiritual wealth of your children the priority of your life? Do you care if the covering you are supposed to be is fractured? It can be repaired if you choose to eliminate any spiritual adultery in your life. Allow the Lord to show you anything that is not in order. Your family will greatly appreciate it! Are you willing to change?

7/23/20 An Empty Vessel

“A new season is at hand. To those of you who understand that there must be a crucifixion of your flesh, anticipate the joy that is your heritage after your resurrection. Understand that I am taking you to a death of everything that you were, all that you own, and all that owns you. I must do this so that you can be trusted with My presence. You must be an empty vessel so that My presence is all that is in you after I call you forth. There will be a resurrection. I will roll away the stone of your grave. I will raise you up for this end-time work.

"Here is what must happen. You must die to yourself. That work is in progress as we speak. Submit to My hand and the trials that you are encountering. They are refiner’s fires that will allow you to embrace the cross as Jesus did. Next, you must rest as a dead person would rest, waiting for Me to move in your situation. Your submission will have planted the seed in you of the anticipation of My resurrecting hand upon you. Then in My time, when all is ready, I will once again bring forth My light to the world. It will be in you as fully as it was in Jesus. Consider this the holy work that it is. Soon, I will call you to come forth.”

Galatians 2:20 AMP

I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]: it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

Gal. 5:24 AMP

And those who belong to Christ Jesus (the Messiah) have crucified the flesh (the godless human nature) with its passions and appetites and desires.

Gal. 6:14 NIV

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

 

So many of us desire to have all the good stuff without going through the suffering that conforms us into the image of the Lord. Consequently, we take our head knowledge to those around us. The further consequence of that is that few, if any, people are changed by head knowledge.

God is calling for a holy generation - a resurrection generation, one that has embraced the cross, waited as if dead to our own abilities to push the gravestone aside; and allowed the Spirit of God to completely eliminate our flesh and renew our spirits. We are a remnant, waiting as if a bride for the Lord to complete His work in us. I believe that He is about to call us forth here, and soon to Himself.

There are no shortcuts to completing the work that is needed to be done in each of us. Our Lord is very good at placing us in situations and circumstances that are intended to change us. He wants all of us. That’s how much He loves us.

Only by Your strength, Lord,

What’s In Your Hand

So many Christians wait for whatever it is they're waiting for before they feel they can be a representative of Jesus. They're always looking for that "someday" when they will finally be able to be the Christian that reaches out to others in Jesus' Name.

Most of the time those people never find that day. When they come to the end of their days, they wallow in regret, knowing there was so much they could've done if only they had made a start.

Don't be one of those "someday" people! Use whatever you have in your hand right now to be that cup of cold water or attentive ear or benefactor to the needy and hungry. Don't wait until all you have in your hand is regret.

7/22/20 Kill the Heir

As far as the enemy was concerned, he thought he’d won by killing the heir of God. Attempting to thwart the plans of God, he used those who listened to him to put to death the only danger he could see. In doing so, however, he played right into the hands of God and His plans to break death’s hold on mankind.

The same plans of the enemy have been in effect from the beginning of time. If he can kill, steal from, or destroy the heirs of any family, he can prevent that family unit from completing its ordained task. Minimizing the heir can destroy the lineage, and it’s a weapon used in an attempt to thwart God’s plans for future generations.

Look around, men! First look at your own life. Did the enemy destroy your father’s heir? Are you an ineffective witness for Jesus? Do you know what plans have been thwarted because of your disobedience to God? Do you even care?

Now look at your family! Are your children a strong witness for Jesus? Does your family represent Jesus to the world by the way they act? Are other families being changed because they have come in contact with yours? If not, the enemy is well on his way to successfully killing your heirs spiritually. He is completing his task of minimizing the effectiveness of touching future generations for Christ through them.

As a husband and father, there is still time. You can turn your family around by determining to pray your children back into line with their calling. This moment could also change the lineage for untold generations if your witness to your peers becomes anointed. You can help them realize how the enemy has nullified their heirs. God is restoring the offices of husband and father. He is rescuing the heirs of those fathers who turn fully to Him. Are you going to respond?

Let’s talk more!
