Love Energy Nov.9

 

Our heavenly Father does not just perform love. He exists as only love! He does not function without love motivation. Everything that happens to us remains united with His love somehow because His Spirit is constantly in us! Since we are followers of Jesus of Nazareth, we are in Him and He is in us! We may not always understand some consequences. On the surface or the immediate moment may seem harsh or unloving, but that’s because we cannot see the whole picture of all the connections in the universe. Our challenge is to let love work through every experience. He loves us more than any other person or object that might receive our greatest passion.

    Prayer: Thank you for your special love. I don’t always understand. So please, increase my faith.

One Way to Enter the Spirit World Nov. 8

 

Sometimes we need to practice ignoring our taste, touch, sight, smell, and hearing to fully embrace the Holy Spirit’s awareness. These physical pressures of the body automatically make noises and fight us on any quieting down because they are naturally here for survival. So, we have to seek a quiet condition and place; close our eyes perhaps; shut out all the noise we can and push our thoughts out beyond the physical influences. 

Through your mind, let your spirit-self soar away from physical connections. A small opening can happen among the blackness [the color is often blue] when you tear through the great rift between heaven and earth. Move in spirit through the hole and linger in God’s presence. Then this may become your highest form of prayer.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for teaching us ways to form better connections with you.

 

One Thing More Important! Oct. 7

 

As you live in this world, what becomes the most important result of knowing the Savior, Jesus of Nazareth? Is it peace? Is it abundance? Is it a moral code? Is it future hope? Is it heaven? Is it that you will have your own kingdom? All have merit, but we need a guide since deciding one thing becomes difficult, but if we follow Proverbs 2 and gain its treasure, the Holy Spirit will grant a guide most precious: Wisdom.

Clearly there are two kinds of wisdom. One is penetrated by ambition that can lead to a selfish motivation and may tend to stay earth constrained, often separated from heavenly Father. The other kind of wisdom comes from heaven and upholds our Savior, while it gets fed by the Holy Spirit. How is the correct wisdom attained? Proverbs say start by absorbing the entire Word of heavenly Father. In that acceptance comes good sense, laced with better insight into relationships and overall humanity.

Prayer: Lord, grant me your kind of wisdom.

What Perfection? Nov.6

 

When Jesus said in scripture, you are to ‘be perfect even as My Father in heaven is perfect’. . . review and pay close attention to the verses listed before which dealt with Love [Mt. 5:48]. A significant point is to live and move toward an attempt at perfection in your love. Even love those that misuse you, those that misunderstand you, love your enemies. Love Christ. Through Him, your love may be perfect even if your experiences and expressions of that love are not yet perfect. You don’t have to wait for a love emotion. Choose His love-thought. Remember, the Christ-like character you experience is in you and is on-going, not just a static state of being. You are a continued and magnificent work in progress.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for Your astonishing Love you share with us, every single day!

Is God Just an Idea? Nov. 5

 

Nothing remains insignificant because the true God, Yahweh, does connect all things. Remember, you live in this world and His realm at the same time. Pay attention to display, in everyday events, God’s heavenly joy. When you greet someone give them a God-kingdom smile. What is that? … a warm look of acceptance! When you see someone on the street, send them a kingdom prayer. No occasion, no contact stays too small to enhance the kingdom principles. Even though you do not see everything on the surface, trust that He is working underneath. Blessed are you when you hunger and thirst for the kingdom in every word and deed. God’s presence is a kingdom of service, not self-power.

Prayer: Lord, keep reminding me every moment, I am to serve gladly any of the interruptions or surprises who move into my path.

Scripture ‘Poor in spirit’ Nov.4

 

Poor “in spirit” means to renounce your Self being totally in control. It does not mean to dishonor or abandon the self. Jesus does not want to rule over a ruined self but a surrendered one. What happens when you renounce yourself for a Savior? First, we are left with an emptiness to be filled. The Holy Spirit comes to you and can now make you aware of your true God-made origin, your God need, God dependence. You can accept heavenly Father’s Grace and lean fully on Him. Without an approach of emptying the self, we would still be filled with all the worldly clutter. That clutter tries to block the Holy Spirit, silencing the clearer-life message. In one sense; this means ‘put down your false self’. . . so your true self can be resurrected.

Prayer: Lord, I do pray you would help me replace any False self with your true self growth and be more your-other-centered messenger.

How WE Can SEE Nov.3

 

Heavenly Father’s wisdom, often quietly spreads through earthly design, gives us better judgement and helps us make right decisions to live the full life heaven intended. Search HIS Word and Practice asking to be wise and that effort grows respect for who His SON IS. Your personal quality of trust will blossom. Your trust factor holds up your spiritual shield to fight against the evil challengers. God’s wisdom will help keep you out of unnecessary trouble. Ask in every detail and your basic soul will be enriched.

        Prayer: Lord, I do pray for YOUR discernment with every decision
