Spirit Works Oct.21

Continually, unseen forces pass through you, like rays from the sun or even invisible dust from the earth. Heavenly Father does not only need your body to connect with your mind, but He does want your senses to connect with Him. If you were to lose your consciousness, but maintain something like compassion, Holy Spirit could still interpret you. The Holy Spirit hears your unintelligent mutterings. There are more things passing through you that you do not register than you realize. God’s Spirit helps you go beyond your limitations. Since it is true that you are more than you think, feel, believe, or behave, then you are valued much more than you or anyone else thinks you are.

        Prayer: Holy Father, thank you for seeing worth in us through your Son. 

In The Beginning Oct.20

 

Some people think the heavenly Father created everything and just turned it lose to progress as it would. Perhaps in some ways He did, like with creating free will. But a higher belief is to realize that the Father still remains active with His creation. Although the Bible in Genesis seems to indicate one purpose of creation resulted in a redemptive pause or rest. Whatever else the heavenly Father does through creation, He can put things back in balance for peace and harmony. He certainly established a balance through the redeeming significance of His Son and initiated our potential to obtain the Holy Spirit. He wants harmony to vibrate in spirit as often as possible.

Prayer: Lord, help me seek your heavenly harmonious spirit in every aspect of this world.

Spiritual Appetite Oct.19

 

All your appetite follows from your essential personality, who you really are. Missing truth (Sin) is our nature and clings to the core of us so that individual mistakes (sins) are the results following most of our appetites. If we are a thief at heart, we'll have a thirsty need to steal something, even though we just consider it a necessary must! Life needs the power of the Holy Spirit to truly change our nature and so to change our appetites. Jesus does not take away our appetites but changes them with heavenly principles. Behind all appetites, the greatest appetite of all vibrates Love and we must learn the right love which God can give. Heavenly Father is not just love… He gives love!

Prayer: Thank you, Lord. I know I have no secrets from you. Increase the part of me that hungers for your right doing with love.

The Eternal Signpost Oct.18

 

Somewhere close to the Biblical Jordan river, an amazing event happened: the baptism of Jesus, he came up from the water, the literal heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God like a bird sit on him when a voice proclaimed he was heavenly Father's Beloved Son. Jesus was born-beloved-baptized because this becomes one eternal signpost. For us, this was one demonstration that happened so that all other scriptures were fulfilled; this was a public announcement that this is the Messiah, the One who stands in for us! But also, the event can be a picture of what happens to us when we trust in Christ. He is the ultimate signpost! He points the way and we get claimed as a chosen part of the everlasting. Our personal views begin to change to other-centered desires. We receive the Spirit that grows in us heavenly principles as God’s special child. No earthly person, no technology, no advanced world or universe is more precious than being a part of the heavenly family.  

As a truster of Jesus, remember who you are everyday: A growing Beloved of the eternal family!

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for your gracious acceptance of me.

Think, then Do Oct.16

 

If you hold an idea long enough in your mind, you will act upon it. Part of your imagination is made in the image of the heavenly Father. God has instantaneous creative ability. You have a creative ability that takes earth-time. Although, you must think about something for a while and then you bring it to pass, whether good or evil. Be careful what you picture and dwell on with your mind. It can turn to action.

Prayer: Lord, keep me focusing my mind and every intention on your         kingdom guidelines.

Temptations Oct.14

 

Scripture promises you would not be tempted beyond your endurance, but with any struggle will come a way of escape.  Sometimes you may not see an immediate way out, but God’s Grace is there just the same--working out any problem becomes much like a slow healing. At times, healing comes instantaneously. Others must go through a process which may mean doctor involvement or other systems of health. In scripture, just like the angel could not come to help in war because he was busy in another place, [Dan. 10: 12-13]God uses your earthly time for the Holy Spirit to use the proper connections. All things are being influenced by heavenly principles and Son Jesus. Relax and trust that God IS working even when you might feel abandoned. 

Prayer: Lord, help me increase my trust in you, even when I cannot see your overall picture.

Surprises Oct.13

 

        Jesus of Nazareth is not some hesitant Savior, meaning you must beg over-and-over for his attention. In fact, every day his plan may seem a new surprise, a new gift for you which contains his intermingling joy.  Pay close attention. His ways are still not always what you think. Often, through unusual thinking or action, he sends you a blessing. It can appear even as some hardship, some health issue, a financial message, or a family event. Potentially, any activity may become his channel for surprise because he loves to give when you may least expect. Pray to recognize his gift and not some selfish hardship!

Prayer: Lord, help me remember you injected your love into every cell of my mind, body, and spirit; every neuron fired in my brain is surrounded by your love!
