Every Vision Fulfilled

Uncategorized Jul 30, 2024
 

Listen to the Podcast

Good morning!

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month we've been talking about resetting and expanding your God given vision.

In Ezekiel 12:23-25 it says, "‘The days are near when every vision will be fulfilled. 24 For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations among the people of Israel. 25 But I the Lord will speak what I will, and it shall be fulfilled without delay."

The context of this passage is talking about the negative vision God had given to the people because they were rebellious, but because we are in Christ, God wants to fulfill every good vision he has given us, and he wants to do it speedily, without delay.

In today's communion we are asking God to fulfill every vision he has given us and to do it without delay.

Achieving by the Spirit

Uncategorized Jul 29, 2024
 

Listen to the Podcast

Good morning!

Here is today's communion meditation.

Lately I've been thinking about goals, and how we achieve them. How do we go about achieving the God given goals we have?

The world achieves them through a lot of effort, but I think we are to take a different path and achieve our goals by the Spirit and not by our own effort. 

Galatians 3:2-3 says, " I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?"

This doesn't mean we don't work; we work but as the Spirit leads. 

In today's communion we are asking God to teach us how to achieve our goals by the Spirit and not by our own efforts. As we take the bread today let it be symbolic of breaking any patterns of doing things by our own effort, and as we take the juice let it be an activation of achieving our goals by the Spirit...

Draw the Vision

Listen to the Podcast

Hey everyone! 

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation.

We've been talking about vision in July, resetting and expanding your vision. 

And part of getting clear on your vision is drawing or sketching it out.

Let's spend some time this week getting clear on the vision and drawing out the plan. 

In today's communion we are asking the Holy Spirit to help us draw the vision God has for us. 

I am praying for you.

Remain In Me

Uncategorized Jul 26, 2024
 

Listen to the Podcast

Good morning!

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month we've been talking about Resetting Your Vision.

 And part of understanding our God given vision is that we can't do it on our own. We will need his help.

When the Israelites were to take the promised land most of them would not go because they were entering a land of giants and were only looking at what they could do on their own. On our own we can't do anything but when we remain in God we can produce fruit that lasts. 

In John 15:4-5 Jesus said, "Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."

In today's communion we are asking Jesus to help us remain in him so that we can produce much fruit.

Great Grace

Uncategorized Jul 25, 2024
 

Listen to the Podcast 

Good morning!

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month we've been talking about Resetting Your Vision.

But to walk out our God given vision, it's going to take great grace. God's grace is not only his forgiveness, but it's also his willingness to use his power on our behalf, even though we don't deserve it. 

Acts 4:33 says, " And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all."

The apostles needed great grace in order to walk out what God had called them to do, and we need the same. 

In today's communion we are asking God for great grace to be upon us. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

There is grace available today for exercise, but we have to learn to trust that it's available. 

I am praying for you.

The Advocate

Uncategorized Jul 24, 2024
 

Listen to the Podcast

Good morning!

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month we've been talking about Resetting Your Vision.

 Part of resetting your vision is the Holy Spirit guiding you. I've heard it said before that the language of the Holy Spirit is dreams and visions. 

John 1:14 says, " But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."

We've been given the gift of the Holy Spirit and he is our advocate. The definition of an advocate is someone who supports, recommends, or pleads for you. 

He will teach us everything we need to know for our vision and remind us of the things we've forgotten. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude for our advocate, and we are asking the Holy Spirit to teach us all we need to know for our vision and remind us of all Jesus has spoken to us.

Forget the Former Things

Uncategorized Jul 23, 2024
 

Listen to the Podcast

Good morning!

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month we've been talking about Resetting Your Vision.

And part of resetting, is letting go of the past and moving forward.

Isaiah 43:18-19 says, "“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."

In today's communion we are asking God to help us forget the former things and to receive the new thing that he is doing. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

If you have a bad meal or miss a workout, give yourself grace and get back on track. Too often people beat themselves up over these things and it derails their progress moving forward. 

I am praying for you.

Daniel

P.S. Remember the Master is with you, he loves you, and nothing is impossible for him.

We Beheld His Glory

Uncategorized Jul 22, 2024
 

Listen to the Podcast

Good morning!

Here is today's communion meditation.

Think about what it takes to get tan... Just being in the sunlight for a long enough period of time. 

 The scriptures tell us that we are transformed from glory to glory as we behold God's glory. 

When we put ourselves in the environment of beholding his glory for a long enough time, it transforms us. 

John 1:14 says, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld His glory, a glory as of an only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."

When we behold his glory, we are beholding both grace and truth. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us behold his glory so that we are transformed. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

When we put our bodies in the right exercise environment it also leads to transformation. And I think the correct environment for transformation is one with presence, peace, and joy during your movement. 

I am praying for you.

The Day of Favor

Uncategorized Jul 13, 2024
 

Listen to the Podcast

Hey everyone! 

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation.

We are getting close to July 19th and several years ago while writing my book “7 Dates With Jesus,” I felt God wanted me to take note of July 19th and its connection with God's favor.

Psalms 121:7-8 says, “The Lord will keep you from all evil, he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and coming in from this time forth and forevermore.”

And Psalm 5:12 tells us, “The Lord’s favor is on you, and it surrounds you like a shield.”

God’s favor is on us for a lifetime, and it surrounds us like a shield. Favor equals opportunities. Be on the lookout for favor, opportunities, and divine appointments in this season. 

I am praying for you.

Daniel

Written With the Spirit

Uncategorized Jul 12, 2024
 

Listen to the Podcast

Good morning!

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month we've been talking about resetting and expanding your vision. It's important to always have a vision or goal that is pulling you into the future so that you have something to be excited about.

Earlier this week we looked at Habakkuk 2:2 where God said, “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it."

And we looked at 1 Chronicles 28:19 when David was preparing for Solomon to build the temple and said, “all the details of this plan, the LORD has made clear to me in writing by His hand upon me.”

2 Corinthians 3:3 says, "Clearly, you are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry among you. This “letter” is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts.

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand how He has written on our hearts with His Spirit.
