Forgive Behavior?? Apr.30

 

 

       It is not your final task to pass judgment on another’s behavior, even forgive another’s behavior. Leave that for Christ to judge. Rather, let Jehovah’s Love settle in you, so you can forgive another’s essence. Who they are may be innocent or guilty. The Heavenly Father loves them more than you, even your enemies. Desire and pray the best, for even those vilest in behavior. “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” must remain your attitude.

 

My Prayer: Lord, help us love more and judge less.

 

Work Apr.29

 

 

        The work of God’s kingdom should not be forced. Your body should not force the Spirit. Rest in Christ, be receptive enough to see the Spirit’s work, and then let your spirit bring the body along. Christ will give the occasions for any task. Heavenly Father is not a scorekeeper. The game stays already won. Holy Spirit is the Love-life that energizes the body. Let your spirit essence, as your decision-making soul, influence your body.

When tired Apr.28

 

       Heavenly Father made creative energy to work its way throughout our linear time. Energy flows through changes. But then, he works changes outside of earthly operating time by rearranging the distribution of energy without consuming it. Remember Moses and the burning bush.  Sometimes the energy may be light, sometimes music, sometimes innocence, sometimes art, life in a seed, a person, or some suffering. It is all around you. When you feel you cannot go any longer, tap into the energy.

 

Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving us hidden strength when most needed. Help us trust.

 

Heavenly Value Apr.27

 

 

       The principles of heaven brace up the principles of earth, but many of earth’s values have been distorted. One tiny millisecond spent properly with heavenly Father and Jesus reality is worth much more than a thousand hours spent in earthly work. Remember and spend time with the Spirit, no matter what important earthly event awaits your energy.

 

Prayer: Lord, help me with all specifics to value time with you instead of only earthly efforts.

 

April 26 Reluctant God?

In prayer, God is not reluctant. We just have to tune into His divine frequency.

April 24 Three Stages of Holy Spirit

 

 

(1)        When a new kind of life is introduced to us within.

(2)        When the new life bursts into passion for God.

(3)        When the new life takes the main leading and continual control over self and reinvents all other capabilities.

Your journey Apr.24

 

 

       Because Christ is jointly yours as you are also His, when you practice his presence, he can go before you. He will prepare the way. Many obstacles may appear in your path. That does not mean he is absent. Disrupters of life appear but he will guide you through the journey. Often, you may be unaware of his presence. You will get through because he has promised. Your final challenge is not each hurdle, but the patience and endurance of depending on his paving the way. He prepares the seasons, the flavor, and the hearts to make your way for the right connections. All things do work for the good who remember who Christ is.

 

My Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving the true Way and help us recognize what we should learn.

Action Apr.23

 

 

       One small deed that honors heavenly Father will be worth countless words. In the beginning, like in Eden, when humans replaced God’s trust by believing and substituting false words, humanity started hiding behind language. Words may only be physical. But God’s words want to speak to us with heavenly connections. Sometimes a dream, some music, a merciful act, an unexplained behavior, a generous giving speaks more volume than words.

 

My Prayer: Lord, help us keep growing with the fruit of the Spirit, especially as we learn to serve.

Truth Apr. 22

 

       At times, we must confront the mysteries of life as pure mystery. Do not take the sting out of scripture.

 

 

My Prayer: Lord, help me to trust in the things I don’t understand, I know you are still in control.

Home Apr.21

 

 

       Your body remains God’s home. Your house is His home as well. Turn no one away without some little Love kindness. Holy Spirit may have sent someone to you, put in the heart an impression to visit you. When you serve them, you serve the heavenly Father.

 

Joy Apr.20

 

 

       Joy is not just a state of being but a process as well. You experienced the first real joy at your salvation, the awe and wonder of unmerited favor, filled with love and mystery.

       Now, joy needs to spread through a journey of discipline. With daily practice God’s Word develops the joy of knowing, not just knowledge, but a completeness to know the overall strategy of heavenly Father in the spiritual realm. Sometimes you will not feel the joy because doubt and questions plague you. But if you persist to seek Christ daily, you will reawaken wonder, praise, and the knowledge that you know, that you know God’s Will.

 

Hope Apr.19

 

        When you need extra energy the most, look for a welling up inside.  Holy Spirit, as your plus dynamic, will remind you that hope gives you power to love in the most desperate circumstances. 

April 18 Life

A living is what you get; a life is what you give.

April 17 Satisfied

"Oh, Lord, satisfy us with your steadfast love."  [Ps. 90]

April 12 Clarity

 

 

       Seek clarity. Clarity is linked with your alert ability. Alertness comes by permission. You can get so blinded by the attractions of the world that you see only through foggy lenses because you get distracted. Ask for the Light that illuminates and clears away the fog. Your spiritual lenses can be cleaned. Christ's true perspective: See through His eyes, the windows of eternity.

 

 

Prayer: Oh Lord, I want to see clearly what you would have me be and do.

April 11 Any Pain

With concentrated effort in the Holy Spirit, we can turn our tears into telescopes. 

April 10 Pray Always.

 

Never waste a moment. Stand in any line; pray for all in front of you.

 

March 7 A Spiritual Vaccine

 

God has designed life so that if we react to life’s  challenges the right way, which is by faith and endurance in Christ, then we help sustain a kind of prevention, a spiritual reserve against another possible future hurt. The Holy Spirit will create a spiritual vaccine against the sin or hurt that tries to happen again.

March 6 A thought!

 

Sign of maturity: Allow another to spiritually grow in your place. 

March 5 Gifts

 

God’s Son is His gift to you. What you can become is your gift to Him.

 

April 4 Generous Spirit

When the Spirit overflows, he splashes out generously. All of the universe  takes in the result.

 

April 3 Main Core of Evil

The disturbing center of evil is it really believes it is right when it is so wrong. It presents all the attractions of goodness, but evil always leads to some kind of death, for instance, do any means in order to get to some end. Misdirection, corruption , even self-centered pleasure only gets rewarded with a death.

Only the energy and power of the Holy Spirit through Christ can offer the kind of Grace and forgiveness to neutralize death. The heart-breaking truth of the Cross destroyed any reasonableness of evil and created a means/end to save us finally that brings some kind of glory to heavenly Father.

Evil is no longer reasonable, but still believes it has the answers. Can one wrong make a right? Perhaps, but I don't think two wrongs can make a right, anymore.
