Here is today's communion meditation.
In our Recording Your Journey Workbook for the Abundant Life Blueprint there is a Monthly Prayer of Petition at the start of each month. This is a place to write out your requests to God for the month. And the process we use is to write out the prayer and then sign it like a formal agreement with God.
A few months ago, it seemed like the things I had prayed for weren't coming to pass as quickly as they often do when using the Monthly Prayer of Petition, so I went back and noticed that I forgot to sign the prayer. So, the next month, I made sure to sign the prayer, and things started happening really quickly again.
Unfortunately, I forgot to sign my Prayer of Petition again for my May Prayer, and again things weren't shifting the way I had prayed. While thinking about this, God nudged me to go back and sign May's prayer. I felt like he told me, "It's not too late."
It can be easy to get defeated by time in our prayers. ...
Here is today's communion meditation.
Ecclesiastes 9:10 says, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."
The Hebrew word for "might," is "koach," which means the creative power of God. It also means strength, ability, force, substance, wealth, and a weird translation is the strength of a reptile.
Recently we looked at when Samuel anointed Saul to be king, and he told him that after the Spirit rushed upon him to do whatever his hand found to do, because God was with him. This was a picture of Pentecost, where believers were clothed with power from on high.
Now that we have God's spirit, whatever our hand finds to do, we can do it with all of God's might, and not our own.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the significance of having his koach, and we are asking him to help us use all of his might.

Here is today's communion meditation.
Yesterday we looked at 2 Timothy 3:16 which says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness."
And we talked about the inspiration that comes from God's word, meaning it is God-breathed. One definition of inspire is to give the urge or ability to take action. And inspiration leads to profit. We've been given the Holy Spirit to teach us how to profit, and one of the ways he teaches us to profit is by inspiring us with God's word.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us profit from his word the way he intended.

Timothy also tells us that physical training is profitable. It profits little, but it does profit.
Recently we started God's Plan for Accelerated Body Transformation. The program will teach you how to profit in your health and fitness with a very simple plan.

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.
After Pentecost we crossed over to the other side of the year. There is an offensive side of the year, and a defensive side. We are now on the defensive side of the year. Here are some things we must defend.
Here is our filter for this week... Play Defense.
I am praying for you.

Lately the word, "inspired," keeps coming to mind.
To inspire is to fill someone with the urge or ability to do or feel something.
The word inspire is also related to breath.
Some of the dictionary concepts paint the word picture of blowing on a fire, to increase the flame.
We could think of it like in-spirit - filling with the spirit, or the breath of God.
2 Timothy 3:16 says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God."
The word for inspiration in the Greek language is actually better translated as God breathed. God breathed inspiration into his word.
This reminds me of God breathing into the nostril of Adam.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us receive the inspiration he breathed into his word so that we stay consistently inspired, and in turn we consistently inspire others.

Here is the Message for June.
Our message for 2023 is, " God Saved the Best Until Now," and our message for June is "Walk in God's Best Today."
Last month one of the key lessons for me, was that there is a connection between delighting in the Lord and meditating on God's word.
And David said that he had more insight than all of his teachers, because he meditated on God's word.
This month we are talking about walking in God's best, and Proverbs 13:20 says that whoever walks with the wise grows wise. When we walk with God we are walking with the source of wisdom, and we can't help but to grow wise.
The Hebrew word for walks in Proverbs 13:20 can also be translated as "go, flow, or continue."
If we will go get in the flow with God, and continue with him, he will make us wise, because in Christ are hidden all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And growing in wisdom will lead to walking in God's best.

The best solutions in life are often the simplest. Too often we overly complicate things, when God's solutions are simple.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us find the simple solutions he has for us.

Here is today's communion meditation.
In John 14:3 Jesus said that he is going to prepare a place for us. This reminds me of the Old Testament where God sent his angel ahead of the people to prepare the way to the promised land.
It used to be that in ancient Jewish culture when a bride and groom were engaged, the soon to be groom would leave for about a year and go to his father's house. While at his father's house he would be preparing a place for his bride. And the rule was that the place he was bringing her to had to better than her previous home. About a year later, when his father said it was time, he would go get his bride.
I am also reminded of the time when Jesus sent his disciples ahead of him to the upper room for the last supper. There was a room already set aside for that purpose. God had things prepared both in heaven and on the earth.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude for the places Jesus is preparing for us both in heaven and on earth...

In Numbers 14:17 Moses says, “Now may the Lord's strength be displayed, just as you have declared."
After Moses asks God to display his strength, God begins to talk about his glory filling the earth. And after Jesus turned water into wine, John 2 tells us it was the first of the signs through which be displayed his glory.
In today's communion we are asking God to display his strength in our life.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
In our health and fitness, God can display His strength through us, but this requires a different approach. God gives grace to the humble. Taking a more humble approach to strength training, gets us out of the way, so that God can display his strength through us.
Recently we launched a new program called God's Plan for Accelerated Body Transformation.

In John 14:2-3 Jesus said, "My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
Some verses translate this verse as many rooms, while others translate it as many mansions. I have been thinking about this verse a lot lately because we have started building a new community page, and it has the ability to create many rooms. So far we have 3 different rooms...
These verses have implication for what Jesus is doing for us in Heaven, but they can also be applied to how we build things here and now.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the place he is preparing for us, and to learn to imitate him in this.
