12/17/19 Pouring into Others with Compassion

        "I love honest, full relationships. Jesus spent His life, so that you could be restored and with Me forever. I designed marriage, so that your life could be full, so that you could have a companion, someone who notices your life and cherishes it. Make this relationship your priority on earth.

        "I also build holy alliances with fellow believers. These alliances are formed by Me, so there is someone to walk with you in seasons of your life. They are ordained in heaven and built by My Holy Spirit. Observe who they are in your life.

        "Cherish those I bring to you. Find those who are trustworthy. Invest in them. Pour into their lives as Jesus poured into yours. When I add My presence to any relationship, it thrives and flows with the integrity of My love. It honors Me."

Eph. 5:21 AMP

Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Phil. 2:1-5 NIV

1) If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,

2) then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

3) Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

4) Each of you should not look only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

5) Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.

 

A person walking in a spirit of compassion takes on the needs of others as if they were his own. There is no separation between a person's needs and his desires for those needs to be met in someone else's life. It is the spirit of God giving His kind of compassion for another.

Teach me to love those I am given by You, Lord,

12/16/19 Home Church

Men, is your home a place that proclaims the Gospel, worships the Lord, and praises His Name continually? If it isn't, it should be. In fact, it must be if you and your family are going to survive the coming onslaught against believers, or even make it day to day glorifying the Lord.

This country has fallen into the misconception that the church is some building you and your family visit on Sunday morning. It's also considered a place where you send your children to learn about Jesus, expecting the children's pastor or the youth director to teach them about a life in Christ, and give them the skills they need to relate with their peers.

This scenario leads to the taking in of predigested food, thinking that it is enough, and letting others go to the Lord for you, instead of cultivating an intimate relationship yourself and establishing the family altar. It produces weak, malnourished followers of Jesus, insignificant legacies, and few leaders capable of helping spread the Gospel without a program sponsored by other people in that church building.

God has ordained your home and the life created there by the Holy Spirit to be the real church of Jesus Christ. He has given you and your family a safe place to grow and be nurtured in Him. It's up to you, as a father, to create the spiritual atmosphere where those you cover are free to go as deep as they please with Christ. What kind of atmosphere have you set in your family church?

12/16/19 Highly Regarded Representatives

        "Do you know that I hold you in the highest regard? You are My ministers of the eternal covenant that I have established for the good of all mankind. I hold you very dear to My heart. For many reasons, I must train and refine you. Never do I enjoy seeing you go through challenges to your faith and your commitment, but they are necessary. You have a great responsibility. You are a steward of the most important event in the history of mankind.

        "My covenant with you is what the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus is all about. Now you have the privilege of demonstrating it to the world and to the angelic beings. With that privilege comes the corresponding responsibility of presenting it properly. That is what My training is all about.

        "Submit to My hand. Embrace My love. As you grow, you will discover more wonders than you could ever imagine. The more I can trust you, the more I can reveal to you. I delight in you."

Ephesians 3:10-12 AMP

10) [The purpose is] that through the church the complicated, many-sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities and powers) in the heavenly sphere.

11) This is in accordance with the terms of the eternal and timeless purpose which He has realized and carried into effect in [the person of] Christ Jesus our Lord.

12) In Whom, because of our faith in Him, we dare to have the boldness (courage and confidence) of free access (an unreserved approach to God with freedom and without fear).

1 Cor. 4:2 AMP

Moreover, it is [essentially] required of stewards that a man should be found faithful [proving himself worthy of trust].

2 Cor. 5:20a NIV

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

 

Those of us, who are in training, focus most of the time on who we are not rather than on how our Father sees us. We see ourselves as mistake-making, sin-committing people who wonder if we will ever get this life we've been given in proper order. He sees us as His representatives, His deeply loved children, His reason for the cross. We, as mankind, are the only ones He has chosen to represent Jesus. There is no higher honor anywhere!

Thank You, Father,

Jim Corbett

12/13/19 The Underbelly

One of the most vulnerable spots of any animal is the underbelly or underside of its body. In most cases, it consists of soft tissue with little armor for protection. Knowing that, most any foe can do life-threatening damage once the underbelly is exposed.

In the intimacy of a marriage, all faults, traits, fears, and vulnerabilities are exposed to husband and wife. In a very real sense, the underbelly or weakest areas of who they are become known to each other. Unwise stewardship of that knowledge can be deadly in the truest sense of the word.

As a husband, you have the privilege of knowing who your wife really is behind all the masks and protections put in place over the years. You get to see all her fears and weaknesses. On the other hand, she gets to see who you really are. If either of you makes that knowledge available to anyone else, even a best friend, you have violated the trust of your mate and closed down a very important part of your stewardship of each other.

If this trust is violated, walls of protection go up and true intimacy becomes impossible from that point forward. The offended mate hides his or her vulnerabilities for protection, and the offender loses the privilege of holding his or her mate before God in prayer for healing. Wise husbands and wives never allow anyone to see the underbelly of their mate. They seal their marriage; and unless it is mutually decided to seek outside help in certain instances, they seal their lips from any outside influence, so that the Lord alone is their healer as they present those needs to Him.
