5/21/20 Great Commissions

Anyone who follows Jesus has been commissioned to tell others about the love and wonder of His life, death, and resurrection, so they can embrace Him for eternity. We are called to live His life before others in a world that offers no answers and gives no mercy when we fail.

As men, we have additional commissions. We are called to love our wives as Christ loves all of us, cherishing them moment by moment. We’re to place their lives before ours, holding them in high esteem at any cost. Our offices are also designed for us to raise our sons and daughters in an atmosphere that will allow them to develop significant lives to present to God on the day they see Him face to face. Both of these commissions produce healthy marriages and healthy families, which are the backbone of a healthy society.

Men, God has commissioned you to present strong marriages and healthy, Christ-loving families to a world that is out of answers. Reversing what the enemy has stolen begins with you. God is calling you to call upon Him to show you how to be a valiant man, who is aware of his commissions, so you can properly impact those you have been given as His steward. Will you answer the call?

5/21/20 Sitting Quietly

“Do you realize how much easier and more productive your life would be if you only took the time to wait on Me in prayer? If you would tarry long enough to find out My will and then move with that truth, you would avoid so many mistakes and spiritually harm fewer people. My desire is to impart to you everything you need for any given life situation.

"I don’t hide Myself or My wisdom from you. You’re just not with Me long enough, resting quietly in My presence, to be able to hear Me. You’re also moving so fast each day that you can’t hear My “still, small voice” giving you directions on your daily journey. I would like you to sit quietly with Me. After you’ve talked, wait to hear what I think, how I feel, or where I want you to go. You will be surprised at how much smoother your life flows.”

Ps. 25:5 AMP

Guide me in Your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You [You only and altogether] do I wait [expectantly] all the day long.

Ps. 33:20 AMP

Our inner selves wait [earnestly] for the Lord; He is our Help and our Shield.

Ps. 62:5 AMP

My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him.

Isa. 30:15 AMP

For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; in quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength…

Are you absolutely sure of what the Lord is doing around you? Are you flowing in perfect unison with His will? You can! God wants to tell you and empower you. What an incredible concept!!!

Waiting on You, Lord,

What If?

What if God is Who He tells us He is in His Word? What if we can truly trust Him? What if His promises are real and always fulfilled, just like He said they would be? What if we can expect His supernatural intervention in our lives to accomplish the impossible? What if He is always there for us and will never leave us or forsake us? What if He is pleased with us no matter how many times we fail Him? What if He really desires to spend eternity with us?

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! And Wow!!!!

5/20/20 Highest Honor

One of the highest honors a man has is to serve God by serving his wife and family. Taking his stewardship and responsibility seriously brings glory to the plan God has for families. Those, who follow Jesus and His heart of love and service, help to create generations of Christ-loving heirs and significant lives.

Any man, who is completely sold out to the Lord and living a life of dedicated service to Him, is an example to his wife and children. In that atmosphere, they have the freedom to function in the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, overcoming the horrors of the world around them. They have a chance to overcome the world as Jesus did, rising above any power that is against them.

Men, if you’re serious about serving God and wanting to please Him, dedicate yourself to Jesus first and then to your wife and family. Choose to love as He does. Choose to serve as He did. You will bring glory to God and impact more lives for Him than you can possibly imagine. With Him, all things are possible.

5/20/20 Spiritual Warfare

“I’m looking for aggressive warriors who are willing to win at My kind of warfare. I am at war against your flesh. You can win through submission to My will. When I show you your sin, repentance brings forgiveness. As I explain the truth of My Word, We overcome the lies of the enemy of your soul. Fear is removed as you see who I am. Spending time with Me is the most powerful kind of warfare. There is no way to counter these weapons and the many others that I have provided for you. Stop choosing the ways of the world. Choose My ways. I always win.”

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.

Isaiah 2:22 AMP

Cease to trust in [weak, frail, and dying] man, whose breath is in his nostrils [for so short a time]; in what sense can he be counted as having intrinsic worth?

Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV

8) “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.

9) “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

 

I have found no better explanation of true spiritual warfare than this example from a pastor friend of mine, who went home and is now enjoying the presence of the Lord in heaven.

“Many intercessors and leaders in spiritual warfare seem to think we have to some way, somehow, “deliver” a city from spiritual oppression or past evil curses in order to have the way paved for the presence of God to come into that city. However, the goal of spiritual conflict is not to usher in the presence of God by that means. Spiritual warfare is not the way to bring in the presence of God, but quite the opposite.

It is not the battle that ushers in the presence; but rather, it’s the presence that originates the battle. The presence of God is the starting point. Because of the presence of God, there will be war since the inhabitants of darkness cannot stand His presence. All of our strategies, banners, chants, and shouting “per se” will do no harm to the devil. In fact, we can be sure that the devil will help us do our “spiritual warfare” as long as we are replacing the presence of God with our own battle turmoil. I believe along with some others that the devil has been teaching the church how to do spiritual warfare! The Israelites marched around, shouted, sang, worshipped, broke pots, suddenly pulled out torches in the middle of the night, and fought battles in usual and unusual manners; but it was not the strategy or the activity that gave them victory. It was the presence of God who went before them. Without the presence, they would have been the most foolish army in history.”

Wanting to win Your way, Lord,
