A Date With Destiny

Happy Birthday 12/1

Genesis 12:1
Then the Lord said to Abram, “Leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s family. Go to the land I will show you.

Following God is not always easy, but you are convinced that is the only way to real life and true joy. 

As a follower, you are attentive to the One who is leading. You wait eagerly for His signals which indicate the need to slow down, speed up, or make a turn. Occasionally, you must even make a U-turn, which makes you feel as if you went the wrong way. However, even wrong turns are part of the journey, and the experience gained becomes a valuable reference point for the remaining journey ahead.

Since God designed you specifically for the road you will travel, equipping you with all the necessary provisions for a successful journey, the only thing you lack is the knowledge of where it might lead.

As you move toward your destiny, you learn that God does not reveal everything all at once. Your journey is one of personal discovery and growth.

You keep your undivided attention on the sound of God’s voice and you are always moving toward it.  Sometimes it is a song, sometimes it is the wind, and sometimes it is the still small voice whispering your name in the midst of a storm.

Following God is a pleasure for you. As he directs, you happily tag along, never letting Him out of your sight.

As you remain alert to the changing landscape and split-second directives, you are able to avoid the pitfalls and potholes which may have caused injury.

You experience life in a more abundant way, thanks to your choice to travel the road that God chose just for you. The horizon is often hazy and uncertain. God usually doesn’t reveal the next step until you have picked up your foot from the last one. Yet, every stride becomes a place of new promise.

Letting go of what you are used to, and stepping out into the unknown is one of life’s most challenging experiences.

However, as the voice of God’s calls to you from the realm of the unknown, you cannot resist. Your heart is anxious, yet you are intrigued. Stepping out into the unknown, you find that the promises of God are waiting.

Limitless

Numbers 11:23
“Is there a limit to my power?” the Lord answered.

You have invested your most valuable assets into the spiritual riches of God’s Kingdom. Your contributions of trust and loyalty are given freely to God and His returns never disappoint.

Unflinching faith comes to you like a divine download and you are often amazed by a sudden level of confidence which seems to appear out of nowhere.

You actively seek help from God because you know His power has no limit. As a reward for your humility and authenticity, the Holy Spirit infuses you with wisdom and power that far exceeds your natural human abilities.

You are able to accomplish things others have deemed unattainable and you give all the credit to Jesus who turned your impossibilities into possibilities.

You find that this realm of ‘ridiculous faith’ has proven to be the most exciting and fulfilling method of maneuvering through this human experience.

As a world of miracles opens before you, you scale to heights you never dreamed possible.  And as your confidence in God grows stronger, you see your life filled with the reality of His limitless power.

We don’t have all the answers, and that’s okay. In fact, sitting in the unknown is what keeps us intrigued and engaged. It places our curiosity on high alert and keeps us digging for more clues.

We enjoy stumbling through the vast expanse of the unknown because we love tapping into an intelligence that outpaces our own. We pray for a fresh word and feel certain there is always one on its way.

We make peace with our unanswered questions. We know they will serve as the driving force that keeps us captivated with the vast expanse of this great eternal mystery.

Conflict and Controversy

lastwordrecovery

As we level up, we begin to realize how unproductive it is to spend time analyzing controversial topics or arguing over the meaning of obscure scriptures. We avoid the debaters and instigators. We steer clear of the loud, sweaty preachers yelling about sin and eternal damnation.

We choose rather to participate in worship services, recovery groups, and Bible studies that are surging with positivity and hope. Our fellowship gatherings serve as a recharging station where we plug into the power and become energized for the work ahead. We focus on encouraging the gifts and talents of fellow believers.

We remain open to new opportunities, even though we feel awkward outside of our comfort zones. We understand that fear of the unknown is an obstacle everyone encounters, but it need not hold us back. We stay open to change and ready to pivot at a moment’s notice, in response to the Spirit’s directives.

Embracing the Holy Spirit: A Guide to Spiritual Clarity

lastwordrecovery

Happy Birthday 11/13



You know how to give good things to your children. How much more then, will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!
Luke 11:13

The Holy Spirit has infused you with clarity of purpose and divine destiny. You maintain a higher level of spiritual perception because you listen to the Spirit and follow the instructions you are given. You have the mind of Christ and share His thoughts, ideals, and goals.

Your Spirit-controlled mind gives you a supernatural vantage point which allows you to view life from the divine perspective, outside of time, space, and human emotion.

You receive increasingly more light as you walk with Christ through the seasons of life.  Having the superior guidance system of the Spirit allows you to be in the right place, at the right time, making good decisions.

You deeply desire to live as the Spirit guides, because you want to do the right thing for yourself and those you love.

Spiritual directives come to you through divine insight and experience. You find comfort in knowing that the wisdom of Christ is gift from God rather than an academic accomplishment of your own human intellect.

You appreciate the strength of the Spirit when embarking on difficult journeys through forgiveness, regret, loss, and insecurity. You know that when your mind is controlled by the Spirit, the concept of faith is not difficult to comprehend.

As you continue to identify His thoughts and ideals emerging from your own mind, you realize that the Holy Spirit is truly yours and therefore, the possibilities are endless.

Feelings vs Truth

lastwordrecovery

We know that our emotions can be a powerful force that affects us, body, mind, and soul. We also know that Jesus has made a way to escape being controlled by our feelings, which can range from pesky to obsessive or even frightening. We are told in the Word that we have been made the righteousness of God in Christ. This flies in the face of feelings which indicate something is wrong with us. Our feelings are no match for the Word of God. If the Creator of the universe says we are righteous, then our emotions have no right to dispute it.

We have been made right by the blood of Christ which was donated as a divine transfusion to heal us from the inside out. The emotions we feel, the sounds we hear, the words we say, and the images we see, must all defer to the words of our King who has decreed ‘tetelestai‘ (it is finished) over all that is wrong with us.

No Explanation Necessary

Some people were standing there and asked, “What are you doing? Why are you untying that colt?” Mark 11:5

Happy Birthday 11/5

You have a call on your life, and you have always known it. Others may not understand it, and some will ask why you do what you do.

You know that you have received specific instructions from the Lord about what He wants you to do.  You can’t explain it to others because you don’t really understand it yourself.

You are accustomed to hearing the inner voice of the Holy Spirit. You often adapt your plans or rearrange your schedule to accommodate this expression of God that resonates within your own spirit.  Sometimes His instructions are vague or segmented, and you must step out in faith, believing the rest of the plan will come when the moment is right. Yet, other times the instructions are laid out so simply and clearly, you know what you need to do in no uncertain terms. 

When Jesus told the disciples to go get the colt, they couldn’t possibly have known His purpose or plan. They wouldn’t have been able to explain it to anyone else because they didn’t understand it themselves.

Therefore, Jesus gave them the perfect response to those who asked what and why.  They were to respond, “The Lord needs it.”

When you are following the inner voice of the Holy Spirit, others may question your purpose or your motives. Rather than offering explanations that might lead to confusion, you can simply report, “The Lord needs me to do this.”

You do not need to explain what Jesus asks of you or why He specifically selected you for the task.  You may not even understand it yourself, but that’s okay. All you know is the Lord has asked you to do it, and you have no intention of letting Him down.

The Sound of His Voice

lastwordrecovery

1 Chronicles 11:2
The Lord your God spoke to you.

********

As you hear God’s words, your faith surges. Supernatural energy infuses you with a heavenly mindset.  As you focus your attention on Kingdom goals, you are simultaneously improving the world in which you reside. 

In this way, you are living in two realms at once. You are a citizen of Heaven, and an ambassador of Christ. Your heart is set on things above, and your days are filled with bringing heaven to earth.

The spiritual sound waves of that still small voice within, creates melody in your mind and harmony in your heart. This music of heaven shifts your gaze away from human struggles and toward the throne room of your King.

You are able to enjoy the presence and comfort of God, while existing in a finite dimension. You reap the benefits of a dual reality where His Kingdom is as real to you as the world in which you live.

Purpose

lastwordrecovery

I tell you, do not worry. Don’t worry about your life and what you will eat or drink. And don’t worry about your body and what you will wear. Isn’t there more to life than eating? Aren’t there more important things for the body than clothes? Matthew 6:25

********

In the passage Jesus is telling the crowds that there is much more to their lives than the clothes they wear or the food they eat.

What is this MORE he was talking about? Perhaps it is true satisfaction and purpose.

Each of us has a MORE in our divine DNA. It is the unique effect we were designed to deliver to this earthly planet. It is the portion of the Kingdom that we each bring to earth during the years we spend here. The ‘more’ Jesus spoke of are the blessings we give, the encouragement we offer, the mentorship we provide, and the miracles we perform.

We realize that if we continue to focus on these Kingdom matters, we can level up to a life of satisfaction and contentment. God takes care of our needs, and we expand His Kingdom.

It is a win-win.

Chapter 10 – We are Satisfied
