Giving Jan.22

 

                Holy Spirit whispered:

       Practice all living as a gift economy. Give in everything.  Learn to give compliments, power, potential, healing, consolation, insight as well as the more obvious time, talent, money. The point is never to try to equal heavenly Father’s giving, since you will never out-give Him, the giver of all life. Still, a generous  spirit shows an avenue to relationship that continually helps to set people free to explore the better way of Christ.

Prayer: Lord, help me help others stay free in you by giving all I can.

Adventure to Seek Jan. 20

 To Christ People:

        When Jesus told his disciples to seek first the kingdom, he referred to the life-changing kingdom guidelines as in Matthew 5. Start by understanding what it means to become spiritually enriched by being poor in spirit, by accepting God’s will about everything. Stay with that one, if needed, until more insight occurs, then you can move to being one who mourns for the world. You will see that all nine of the principles interlock, like links in a chain. Walk through the nine principles as often as you can. Choose to live them in your everyday events. Understanding these kingdom journeys gives you more strength and helps you stay aware by  keeping you fully informed concerning kingdom servanthood.

 

Prayer: Lord, we submit to you and want to know how to serve you in every opportunity through any given day.

What is Character ? Jan. 19

 

The Spirit whispered:

        Remember, because you are an important part of creation, actually made in the image of God, nothing in the world is more precious than a human. Art is not greater than a human. Money is not greater. Clever literature can never rise above human personality. Heavenly Father presents you with the highest element for the highest revelation. In His only Son he says, “I, your Lord, come and go that you might have life.

    If you want to leave a true legacy, leave behind a clear interpretation of your life as an imprint of the best value-living, Christ-centered character.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for reminding me what’s important and let me leave behind a God-inspired life.

Prayer Effectiveness Jan. 18

 

Holy Spirit says remember:

        The moment you see a wrong or if someone behaves wrongly toward you, this sets up your cue to pray for that situation. I will help you be aware that which needs prayer, even when you are not paying close attention. My Spirit can and will join with your spirit continually.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your abundant willingness to fill in the gap when we don’ t pay attention.

 

True Freedom Jan. 17

 

Holy Spirit remarked:

        When heavenly Father created the first human, He limited himself and allowed a seed of his free will to enter the dirt that became Adam, and by extension Eve. True-life essence of every person contains this basic freedom: to choose its own way. The Father knew allowing free will into humanity was costly. It is not unlike when people decide to give birth to a child; they are never totally certain what their child will be. Of course, the Father knew and birthed Adam and Eve and sure enough, His heart was broken. Nothing but a special love could have done this. The act of creation  demonstrates the opportunity of a special relationship; a point of connection the Savior has for you. A bridging happens so that together the joys and heartaches often flow together. The freedom-choice always remains yours.

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for caring so deeply for us, even when we abuse our given freedom.

 

Another Mystery Jan. 16

 

Holy Spirit said "Faith it"

        Those that accept Jesus are already in heavenly Father’s kingdom and are guided by kingdom principles. The action creates mystery because God’s time-quality of omnipotence intersects earth time in an unusual way. Because every human is made in the image of God, this image is one entryway for the kingdom of Heavenly Father and Holy Spirit to enter. But a willingness must occur for the connection. Since Jesus came, God’s kingdom is available to everyone, but not everyone is in the kingdom. Those not in the kingdom are frustrated because they go against heavenly guidelines. It's like they go to a side direction, instead of straight ahead. When Jesus said I am the Way, the Truth, the Light, the Door, he is referring to the opportunities for the fuller entryways into the kingdom. While the kingdom is available to everyone, each must choose to enter by Jesus, who provides the way.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for entering our hearts and giving us your words to see that You will help others see the truth and help people recognize kingdom principles.

 

Planning Jan. 15

 

 Heavenly Spirit said:

        Too much planning is not necessary. Trust in My closeness and even the random work. I am the Lord of your life. Heavenly Father has created a moral universe. Every guide, law, principle is in place. You do not have to create laws to live well in the universe. Simply discover mine, like choosing good health, live heavenly kingdom values, a moral law, promote balance as taught in scripture. Behave as I have instructed you and let Me plan for your harmony in the present and future. I am your protector and will grow your moral intelligence. What evil persons, those out of harmony, may do to you, I can shield or eventually undo. Endeavor to think of Me throughout the day. I am always here.

 

Prayer: Lord, keep us aware of the moral, heavenly laws behind every one of your laws on earth.
