3/26/20 Stewards, Not Owners

If you are a believer, it’s a given that God owns everything. He’s the sole owner of every heartbeat of all who have ever had blood pumping through their veins. The cattle on every hill are marked with His brand.

Then why is it we, as humans, have the audacity to claim anything as our own? The idea of “we’ve worked for it, so it’s ours” is a detrimental attitude if we are to serve the Lord with all our might. That right to ownership in our minds hinders us from ever coming to the full realization of the sovereignty of God. It stops us from truly glorifying Him in all we do.

As husbands and fathers, you really own nothing. Your wife and children are the Lord’s. Your friends and all the things you have called your own really belong to the Lord. You have only been given a stewardship of everything in your midst. Totally embracing that concept is quite sobering to say the least.

As a steward, you will answer to the Lord for the outcome of your existence. How did you steward everything God asked you to care for? Will the results of your life as a caretaker of people and the things that are important to Him - family, friends, time, etc. – be in accord with His wishes? He gave them to you for a season. How did you handle your responsibility?

3/26/20 No Matter What

“I want you to include the words “no matter what” in your every thought of Me. It delights My heart to tell you that: I will forever love you, no matter what. I will always be there for you, no matter what. I am sovereign and able to overcome, no matter what. I empower you to say: I will serve You, Lord, no matter what. I will praise You, Lord, no matter what. I will trust You, Lord, no matter what. It is for the “no matter whats” that Jesus shed His blood. It is through His risen power that you have the ability to say: “Jesus is the only Lord! No matter what!”

Matthew 26: 53-54 NIV

53) “Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

54) But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”

Rom. 10:9-11 NIV

9) That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10) For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

11) As the Scripture says, “Everyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”

Hebrews 13:5 AMP

…for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]

The perfect antidote for the foolish celebrations that the world holds dear is to reflect on the glory of God and His faithfulness. He was faithful to bring us to Jesus. He is faithful to hold us close continually. Jesus our Lord is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. He is the Lord of everything. By the Holy Spirit, we can adore the one true living God, the God Who overcomes all darkness.

You are a precious child of God. Jesus is your friend. The Holy Spirit is your guide. You are in an unbreakable covenant, designed so that the living God promises His very life on your behalf. Be at peace this day. Jesus is Lord - no matter what!

I am very grateful, Lord!

3/25/20 Concealed Carry

There is a license called a concealed carry license. It means you have the freedom to carry a weapon to protect yourself. To obtain that license, you need to attend school to learn about weapons and your responsibilities when you carry one.

As a member of the body of Christ and as a husband and father, you have been given spiritual weapons to overcome every enemy that would attempt to harm you or your family. They are weapons that allow you to war on behalf of those you steward to win seen or unseen battles that confront them. You, in essence, have a concealed carry license from God!

How are you using your spiritual weapons? Are they concealed to the point that the enemy has free reign to overcome your wife or children? Does anyone around you know you possess these weapons, because they know you and your family understand your place in God, and they witness the freedom you and your family function in?

In a world that desires to destroy any trace of Christ-like character in you and your family, you’re not helpless. You have license to destroy the enemy’s challenges and tactics. You have a concealed carry license of unbeatable spiritual weapons. Don’t flash them to show your bravado, but use them to help win the battle for the Lord!

3/25/20 Absolute Dependence

“Most of My church is not understanding the flow of My anointing in their midst. I am using the submitted lives of their brothers and sisters in Christ to allow them to open their eyes and make proper choices. I flow more in how someone lives than in what they say. Often I flow through those who seem to have nothing, but who really have the greatest gift one can have - absolute dependence on Me. Sometimes I flow through the benevolence of those to whom I have given great resources to share with those who speak truth from Me. Other times I flow in a warm hug, a pleasing smile, or an understanding ear.

Too often those who have little discernment mistake charisma for an anointing, wasting My time and resources on emotional, ear-tickling appeals and self-serving presentations. Soon every teaching, except for the ones that flow from My presence through lives lived to honor Me, will be considered the empty, clanging cymbals that they really are.

You, My remnant in training, hold fast to what you are becoming. You keep on surrendering to Me with all your heart, especially during those more difficult refining times. You keep on cherishing those things that I am teaching you to cherish. Others may consider the deep, inner work that I am doing in you to be of little consequence, because their eyes can only see through their own bankruptcy. You be assured that I am building true wealth in you because of your submission to the trials placed before you.

Soon you will provide for many because you will be trusted with My full anointing, one that holds the full presence of My might. Together you will be a mighty wave flowing with Me, accomplishing My will, because you have been refined in the fire of My hand upon you. I love you.”

Jeremiah 2:13 NIV

“My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.”

Heb. 13:5b AMP

I received this letter from a wealthy saint who is in the refiner’s fire. She is being made into a worthy vessel, capable of carrying the living presence of the Lord to many very soon. I present her life as a testimony to encourage the many of you who are also being refined by the Lord during this time. Be encouraged; you are being prepared for a wedding. Here is a portion of this astounding testimony of submission.

“… I have been living out of my car … There were times where the discouragement tried to beat me down, but God never left my side, and always brought to me what I needed…

… I was ill the past 19 months. In and out of the hospital. Bed ridden for months on end, waiting for help from doctors. During that time, I found, lost, found, and lost places to live. My friends helped when they could, and I was so weak after my last operation that it's taken all the way up to now to be healthy enough to look for a job.”

Lord, please give me eyes to see and appreciate those who are being made wealthy in You,

3/24/20 Accept Your Offices

As a new president sets up his cabinet and group of advisors, there are two elements of every appointment. There is a request for service, and then an acceptance of that office by the nominee. One cannot function properly without the other.

If the nominee declines the appointment, he or she would obviously not serve in that capacity. Should the nominee inwardly accept the appointment half-heartedly or with no intent of fulfilling that office to the full extent, however, he or she would do a great disservice to many, and would more than likely eventually fail to carry out the duties of that office.

It’s the same with you as a husband and father. You have been given two offices that are very important to God. Have you ever stopped to consider the responsibility that goes with them? Have you ever really accepted those offices and determined to function in them with everything you are and all that you have for His glory? If you haven’t, you will eventually fail in some way. Your marriage will be average at best, and your children will grow up without a vibrant commitment to God.

Today’s the day to fully accept your offices. Today’s the day to commit your way to God. Determine in your heart that you will only do what is right for your family by nurturing them in God’s ways for His glory. Make today the day you truly accept your position of servant and guide to them, leading them to the deep things of God. You have been called by God to serve. Do you really accept that calling?
