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

…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!]

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?

3/24/20 Wholly Holy

“You need to desire to be holy. I want you to press in. It is not out of reach. For too many years, those who do not know My heart and those who do not know My Word have lied to each other and to you. They have proclaimed that holiness is unreachable. The cross has given you new life, My kind of life. Jesus has gone before you to show you the life that I would give you after His work was completed. Do you think that I would waste His life and settle for mediocre results for such a great price?

Stop listening to lies. Dig in. Go for it with Me. I will show you what I have provided for you in My Word. I will implement holiness in you if you fully surrender to Jesus. Together We will honor the wonderful work that has been accomplished for you from the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan, through the cross, past the grave, and beyond His resurrection. His great work provides all that is needed for you to become all that I have planned for you.”

Romans 12:1 NIV

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God…

1 Cor. 1:2 NIV

To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified to Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ - their Lord and ours.

Hebrews 10:14 NIV

…because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

1 Peter 1:15-16 NIV

15) But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;

16) for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.

So many times we forget what has been provided for us at the cross of Jesus Christ. Often we really don’t care. The things of this life so consume us that the things of God often take second place or are completely ignored.

Father God has planned a wonderful life for those who have given their lives to Jesus and choose to serve Him fully. He has wondrous things in store for us, if we would only seek Him and find His desires for our lives.

Help me find Your truth, Lord,

3/23/20 Request Backup

When a police officer senses he needs help, he makes a call to his unit to request backup. He’s calling for assistance in a situation where he understands he can’t do it alone.

As a husband and father, have you ever called upon your family and requested backup? Have you ever humbled yourself to the point of allowing them to know you need help from them? Overseeing a family is a gargantuan task if your goal is that they live in an atmosphere where Jesus is Lord. It’s an atmosphere no amount of money or talent can provide. It requires you, as the head, to continually require help from God and your family.

Your wife and children need to understand that you will never succeed if you attempt to achieve that atmosphere by yourself. They need to understand that their part is to pray for you so you can be the man God desires you to be. They need to learn that only with the help of God will you be able to honor Him and serve them properly.

Maybe it’s time for you to have a family meeting so you can humble yourself before your family and ask them to pray for you. Maybe it’s time for them to know you need them to pray that you seek God in all you do in fulfilling your offices of husband and father, and also pray that He will be your source of strength and wisdom. In asking for backup to help you seek God, your family also learns how to ask for backup. It’s a great start to open communication and a big step in family unity - not to mention that it pleases and honors God.
