9/30/19 Will You Hate?

"Do you know that there are people living at this moment who have the seed of hatred in their hearts, waiting to inflict their fury on My people? They will attempt to destroy you simply because you belong to Me. Did you also know that while they are being trained to murder by their father, I am training you to love them? I want you to pray for them. In fact, I want you to pray for the person who hates you enough to kill you and those you love.

"These are My closing hours. This is the time for which all of heaven has been waiting. It is preparing for wondrous, predicted events. Your earth is groaning as if it were getting ready for childbirth. I need bridal-hearted warriors to function as Jesus would, not self-focused hypocrites. Which are you? For what are you in training? Are you even in training in your heart?

"If your heart is completely Mine, nothing is more important to you than submitting to My will. If it is not, you may one day hate just as your enemy does. You will join the ranks of those who demand that I relieve their pain and remove them from their circumstances, instead of acquiring what is needed to overcome and bring others to Me. One day, you may even curse Me just as My enemies do."

Luke 6:45-46 AMP

45) The upright (honorable, intrinsically good) man out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart produces what is upright (honorable and intrinsically good), and the evil man out of the evil storehouse brings forth that which is depraved (wicked and intrinsically evil); for out of the abundance (overflow) of the heart his mouth speaks.

46) Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not [practice] what I tell you?

Luke 9:23-25 AMP

23) And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also].

24) For whoever would preserve his life and save it will lose and destroy it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he will preserve and save it [from the penalty of eternal death].

25) For what does it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and ruins or forfeits (loses) himself?

Luke 12:19-21 NIV

19) 'And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink, and be merry." '

20) "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'

21) "This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God."

I am more and more convinced that there are going to be many, many very surprised people who have answered an altar call and have continued to live for themselves, all masked in the cloak of Christianity. I am also deeply concerned for those teachers who have allowed them to remain in their complacency.

At this very moment, Father God is calling for a holy people, a generation who has heard the call to do whatever it takes to gain and function in the bridal heart of Jesus. There is no other call out there for those who claim to be Christians.

Make emulating You my only priority, Lord,

9/30/19 Your Weakness, His Strength

So many of us guys have been taught that failure in any area of our lives is a horrible thing! Most of us were taught that not having all the answers means weakness, and weakness is a bad thing. If you really study the Bible, you will find that only in our weakness is God able to prove Himself strong to us.

On my tombstone, I would like the words, "Here lies a man who understood his desperate need of God." I want everyone to know that I understood that without a moment by moment need of my Father in heaven I could do nothing.

The most important, most powerful man in history was Jesus. Far from being weak, He said that His every move was ordained by His Father. He did nothing of Himself. That's a full understanding of where the power to walk in the kingdom of heaven on this earth came from. His submission brought heavenly power down to this earth.

I know this may sound wrong to some of you fathers, but sometimes it's good to need to seek help in a situation in front of your kids. To do so shows them how to do the same, especially when you seek help from Jesus. Their learning how to go to Jesus is the best lesson you could ever teach. Would you be willing to be in need so you could be used by the Lord to teach them that lesson?

9/28/19 Your Obedience Helps Others

As a father and husband, if you are where you're supposed to be with God, then those in your circle of influence have a much better chance of being where they're supposed to be. It stands to reason that if you are setting an example of obedience to God and make it comfortable for your family to walk in obedience to God, they will be able to search His heart for their lives.

Conversely, if you are going about your days moving in your own thoughts and abilities, never really understanding the importance of finding His heart and His will, they will do the same simply because it's a family pattern you've established. Is it any wonder that so many families are fractured and directionless as far as God is concerned? Is it any wonder that most families will not be prepared to face the challenges on the horizon and will seek direction from other sources than the Lord?

Your job, dads, is to provide an atmosphere of dependence on the Lord in every area of your life and each situation you face. In doing so, you will be allowing those around you to do the same. That dependence is the only place of faultless direction and powerful wisdom available to any of them to face every challenge, even when you're not around. Cultivating the habit of seeking God for direction and following that direction in absolute obedience is the best gift you can give to those around you. It's the only place of real safety for all of you.

Jesus loved doing only His Father's will. If you and your wife love walking in obedience to Him, your children will have the freedom to follow His will, too. That's a very good thing! Will you walk in obedience to help your family do likewise?

9/28/19 Rushing to God’s Heart

"Fools rush to their past sin. They focus on the world and its demands. My children rush to My heart. I call those I love to an intimacy with Me. It is there you will find everything needed to live the kind of life that Jesus lived. His kind of living overcomes the world.

"Come to intimacy. Come into My presence. Jesus has won that place for you. His death destroyed the barrier between us. His life is the example that you can follow. His power is yours if you choose to walk in it. His love gives you the right to call on My Name and be called by His.

"You are part of My plan. Come, so that I can show you your part. Come to Me, so that I can show you My love. Come to Me, so that I can show you My ways. Come to Me, so that you can know My heart. Come to Me just because you can. I am waiting."

Luke 23:44-45 NIV

44) It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,

45) for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two.

Hebrews 4:16 NIV

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Access to the inner chambers of God has been provided for us by the work of Jesus on the cross. His death and subsequent resurrection opened the door of communication for us. We now have unlimited audience with God whenever we have any kind of need, question, or just a desire to spend time with Him. It is one of the covenant commitments God made with Jesus for us. In God's eyes, we have exchanged our old carnal life for a new spiritual life that is accepted by Him forever. The covenant cannot be broken.

In prayer, there is a connection between what God does and what you are to do. Prayer (communication with God) is the vehicle that Father God has established for us to navigate from the physical realm to the spiritual realm and back again to accomplish His will from heaven to earth through us.

Through this communication and because of the work of Jesus, God brings Himself, His plans, and His very being into His established tabernacles - us. Within the communication, we present our requests for all that is necessary for us to become who we need to be. Our Father also communicates His will to us. It is true communication between the Creator and His creation, with Father God all the while fine tuning our encounters with Him through the Holy Spirit.

Teach me how to stay there, Lord,

9/27/19 Encounters with God

Men, as leaders of those under your stewardship, are you preparing yourself for an encounter with God? Does your heart long for such intimacy that only His personal invitation into His throne room - where He anoints you in preparation for the times and seasons ahead - will satisfy you? If not, why not?

You have been born spiritually because of the work of Jesus. You have been invited into an intimate relationship with your Father in heaven. You have been called and selected to walk with Him throughout your days in continual communion. He has become your Father in the truest sense of the word.

He is also your Almighty God. Meeting with Him on a regular basis will change you. Any encounter you are privileged to have will destroy all those things that hinder you from walking in His truths. It will change how you think, how you act, and you will know why you have been given breath. You will have answers for yourself and for those around you.

As a watchman looking past what we have been told to believe and observing what is really on the horizon, I am convinced that nothing but the keeping power of God will suffice in the near future. Nothing but clear directions and God-ordained paths will be safe places to travel. Those paths only come from having moment by moment encounters with a loving, direction-giving Father. He is waiting to meet with you long and often. Maybe it's time to make such encounters the priority of your life - for your sake and for those around you.

Let's talk more!
