One Who Serves

Uncategorized Nov 20, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

In Luke 2;27 Jesus said, " For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves."

The other day I was thinking about why God created people, and I think one of the reasons is that he needed someone to serve. God is love, and love gives and serves.

In Genesis 15:1 God told Abraham, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward." 

In Hebrew the word for "great reward," is "sakar," which can mean in your service. 

God told Abraham, "I am in your service," or "I am here to serve and help you." 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand that he is among us as one who serves and to trust that he is with us so that we can be like him and also serve.

Shewd as Snakes

Listen to the Podcast

Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

 In Matthew 10:16 Jesus said, “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves."

How do we be as shrewd as snakes?

In Psalm 18:25-26 it says about God, "To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless; 26to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd."

God is shrewd when he is dealing with those who are crooked and devious. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand how to be as shrewd as snakes the way he does.

The lymphatic system keeps the body clean and free from inflammation, but it has no pump other than the muscles. Gentle movement for higher reps is one of the best ways to circulate the lymphatic system and keep the body clean. 

I am praying for you.

Confess Your Sins

Confess Your Sins
6:08
 

Listen to the Podcast

Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

One of the themes in the Bible is that confessing our sins leads to many good things. We all have times when we fall short and when we are willing to courageously humble ourselves it leads to walking in the light where all of the good things are.

1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

James 5:16 says, "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed."

Proverbs 28:13 says, "Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy."

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the power of confessing our sins and to have to humility and courage to consistently walk in this.

Freedom

Listen to the Podcast

Hey everyone! 

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.

We are in a season of the year where God likes to pivot, change directions, and reposition things—including people. If you are experiencing a shift or feeling a nudge that God wants you to make a shift, this feeling is probably from him. These shifts take place because God always wants to have people functioning in their highest capabilities. He will often shift things to bring out the best in us... but he will always give us a choice as to whether we will reposition or not.

All along God’s path, there are forks in the road where we will be given the choice as to which direction we will go. This time of the year is a pivotal decision-making time. As decisions are made, follow a sense of peace on the inside.

One of the biggest keys to shifts and repositioning is free will. A few years ago, I was on a field trip with my daughter to a historic plantation home, and one of the kids asked what happened to the ...

A Sinner's Wealth

Uncategorized Nov 17, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

 Several years ago Proverbs 13:22 changed my life. It says a good person leaves an inheritance for their children's children. This is the verse that inspired the Abundant Life Blueprint. But, there is a 2nd half to this verse that we haven't really talked about much. 

Proverbs 13:22 also says "a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous."

And Ecclesiastes 2:26 says, "To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God."

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand these verses and to receive these promises.

Partnership

Listen to the Podcast

Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

In Philippians 1:4-6 the apostle Paul said, "In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

Partners working together on a shared vision is one of the greatest accelerators in all of life. 

In today's communion we are asking God to understand the power of partnership and walk in partnership the way he desires. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

A great workout partner can be one of the best ways to accelerate your progress. 

I am praying for you.

No Painful Toil

Uncategorized Nov 15, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

Proverbs 10:22 says, " The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, without painful toil for it."

One of the things we have to learn to do in our walk with God is to stop toiling. We often toil away in our minds, but this is not how we receive God's blessing. 

In Luke 5:5 before Peter followed the instructions of Jesus and caught a huge amount of fish he said, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us walk in his blessing without the painful toil.

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

The world has taught us that results are produced through painful workouts, but this isn't God's way. His way is gentle, fun, and beautiful and you can get great results this way but it requires a different mindset. 

I am praying for you.

Entangled

Uncategorized Nov 14, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Good morning!

Here is today's communion meditation.

Lately the idea of being entangled keeps coming up, and I have been thinking about a principle in quantum physics called quantum entanglement which says that 2 particles can be connected such that they instantly influence each other even from long distances. 

In my book "Pockets of Prosperity," one of the concepts is that we can get entangled in things that steal our time and Jesus came to undo or untie the works of the Devil. 

The other day Nahum 1:10 stood out. It says, "They will be entangled among thorns and drunk from their wine."

In the parable of the sower in Matthew 13:22 Jesus said that "The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful."

In today's communion we are asking God to help us get untangled so that we can be efficient with our time and walk in His good plan for us.

May God Grant Your Petitions

Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

Prayers of Petition are one of the most powerful forms of prayer. The way I've learned to do a prayer of petition is to write out a formal request to God, sign and date it, and take communion over the prayer. This serves as a point of contact, which is a way to release our prayer to God. 

In 1 Samuel 17, Hannah(the mother of Samuel) was pouring her heart out to God because she didn't have any children and Eli the priest saw her and said, "“Go in peace, may the God of Israel grant the petition you have asked of Him.”

Hannah received his words by faith, and went on to be the mother of Samuel. 

In today's communion we are asking God to teach us how to do prayers of petition the way he desires.

The Connection Between Order and Time

Hey Everyone!

Here is today's communion meditation.

There is a connection between order and time. Order is about positioning, and whenever we put something in its proper position it seems to save and restore time, because space and time are connected. 

We are in a time of year when God often repositions us to bring us into a higher level of what he's called us to, and when this happens it has a benefits on our time. 

In Isaiah 38 is the story of God healing King Hezekiah and making time go backwards. 

Isaiah 38:1 says, "In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”

Then God told Hezekiah that he would heal him and add 15 years to his life. Then to give Hezekiah a sign God said he would make the sun go backwards as show that he was going to add 15...
