Happy Birthday 12/6

Romans 12:6  
We all have different gifts. Each gift came because of the grace that God gave us.

God has given you a very unique and important gift. You have a remarkable level of patience when it comes to the artistic expressions found in puzzles, mosaics, and other unique configurations.

You enjoy finding fractured images in piles of scattered pieces of varying hues. You are sure that when the random jagged edges are fit together properly, these tiny colorful segments of will reveal a beautiful picture of what was meant to be. While others may see chaos and confusion, you see a collection of shapes and colors ready for organization.

From a spiritual perspective, this gift is vital to the advancement of God’s Kingdom.

 Many people are broken. You have been gifted with the ability to help others piece together their shattered lives and become the masterpiece that God designed them to be.

Your ability to face brokenness with a logical and non-judgmental approach makes you the ideal candidate to bring the message of wholeness to those who are broken.

Empowered by God: Discovering Your Path to Success

lastwordrecovery

Genesis 12:2
I will bless you. I will make you famous and you will be a blessing to others.

Having been blessed by God, you are empowered to succeed.

The fear of failure may occasionally drift through your thoughts when you take on a project that you feel inadequate to manage, but knowing that you have been empowered to succeed by the Creator of the Universe, you set aside fearful feelings, and face each challenge head-on.

Being blessed by God, you see His supernatural power at work in all of your efforts. You realize that He is able and willing to make a success out of anything – even things you thought were failures.

Sometimes your successes do not appear all that successful at first. There are times that your initial attempts at success look a lot like failures. But, you live by faith, not by sight. You do not view failure as the end, but rather, the beginning of a new approach.

Empowered to succeed, you rise each day with a purpose and a plan. However, you also remain open to the possibility that an unexpected divine assignment may pop up along the way. If it does, you are willing to change course at a moment’s notice in order to fulfill it.

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.

The Power of Redemption: Becoming a New Creation in Christ

lastwordrecovery

If you have a coupon you wish to redeem at the grocery store, you are trading a worthless slip of paper for its cash value from the manufacturer. In other words, the real value of the coupon didn’t exist until it was redeemed.

We are not defined by our history, we are remade and redeemed by it. Our true value is revealed through redemption. Our history brings us into an even deeper relationship with our Maker. God takes our past and weaves a new narrative which brings new life and a DEEPER life with Christ as our advocate and example.

In 2nd Corinthians 5:17, Paul writes, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

Through faith in Christ, we are made new. This verse reminds us that when we are in a relationship with Jesus, our past no longer defines us. We are transformed into new creations, with a fresh start and a renewed purpose.

Regardless of our past mistakes, failures, or regrets, God’s grace and forgiveness are available to us. In Christ, we can leave our old ways behind and embrace the new life that He offers.

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.

Judges 11:6
They told him, “Come, and lead us, so that we can fight the enemy.”

God is always in front of you, guiding the way, clearing a path, and leveling the field.

Much like the football player who receives a handoff and advances up the field on a path cleared by his teammates, you run with the destiny you’ve been given. You remain confident that angelic forces are blocking the opposition and opening a path to the goal line.

With a sure win in sight, your life is filled with first downs, goals, and extra points. 

Eventually, when the clock runs out, and you leave the field, you will be met by your adoring fans from past generations who have been cheering you on.

Jesus will welcome you with a winning smile and enthusiastic praise for a game well played.

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.

Psalm 11:4
The Lord is in His holy house. The Lord’s throne is in heaven.

You are the dwelling place of God on this earth. You serve as His hands, eyes, ears, and heart while you journey through time.

Since God is a Spirit, His impact on the physical realm can only be supported by those who coordinate their efforts with His.

Knowing that the Creator of the Universe has entrusted you with His Spirit and made His home within you gives you purpose and direction.

You know that none of the daily tasks of life are insignificant.

You recognize that each conversation you have with another human being is a sacred connection.

You know that each impulse of compassion, mercy, kindness, or strength is a signal for action from the Spirit of God which leads you to your next assignment.

As the temple of God, you keep your mind and body healthy and strong.

You offer your physical presence to God as a living space where He can function through you to bring light and life to the people you meet on the paths you walk.

***Happy Birthday 11/3 ***

Exodus 11:3
The Lord made the Egyptians respect His people. Even the officials and all the people considered Moses to be a very great man.

God has caused you to be respected by those who are naturally inclined to disregard you because of race, religion, culture, or economic status. You have gained the favor of those in power because God has placed you in a position to serve them.

You are kind, trustworthy, and compassionate. You are loyal and dependable. You are confident and comfortable in your own skin. Your submission to God’s authority has caught the attention of human authority figures and caused them to admire you.

You are respected wherever you go. You maintain a wide circle of influence and are surrounded by powerful people who are inspired by your call and willing to help you on your journey.
