My Thoughts About This:

Father God this quote really touched me deeply today. I pray You would change us Jesus, change our hearts to full out for You. May we walk with You today, fully face our AWE-GOD. Jesus cause us to walk in 100% Kingdom truth in us and through us. What is missing in the church today is a respect-reverence for the Presence of #AWE-GOD! We have become high on pride and we do not bow low! WE rationalize the Presence of God, we don't accept the AWE and Mystery of our Mighty God. God is not a bigger version of us, He is huge and mighty in power and majesty in ways we can't even begin to imagine! AWE-GOD! Do you understand the very #AWE-GOD we push out of our country is the ONE WHO is upholding our freedom. Be careful!

Holy Spirit Inspired…. He speaks, I listen and obey… Thank you for teaching Me!

Galatians 1:12 (NLT) I received my message from no human source, and no

one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ.

1 Timothy 3:2

Now a bishop (superintendent, overseer) must give no grounds for accusation but must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, circumspect and temperate and self-controlled; [he must be] sensible and well behaved and dignified and lead an orderly (disciplined) life; [he must be] hospitable [showing love for and being a friend to the believers, especially strangers or foreigners, and be] a capable and qualified teacher,

My Thoughts About This:

Hospitality – Having Hospitable Spirit's is the missing link in our followship as servant-warriors of Jesus Christ, without it isolation rises from home to home, community to community and nation to nation. A servant-leader cannot be so without a hospitable spirit that continuously works out in hospitality.

Philemon 1

1-3I, Paul, am a prisoner for the sake of Christ, here with my brother Timothy. I write this letter to you, Philemon, my good friend and companion in this work—also to our sister Apphia, to Archippus, a real trooper, and to the church that meets in your house. God's best to you! Christ's blessings on you!

4-7Every time your name comes up in my prayers, I say, "Oh, thank you, God!" I keep hearing of the love and faith you have for the Master Jesus, which brims over to other believers. And I keep praying that this faith we hold in common keeps showing up in the good things we do, and that people recognize Christ in all of it. Friend, you have no idea how good your love makes me feel, doubly so when I see your hospitality to fellow believers.

My Thoughts About This:

The spirit of Hospitality is a common courtesy in relationships. Hospitality within us, creates an openness of communication that speaks value into the lives around us, connecting us heart to heart. Hospitality is the common feed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Without the civility that a hospitable heart brings, the gospel cannot travel from heart to heart. Hospitality has become counter cultural in our generation, we have become isolated from one another.

2 Corinthians 7:12-14

11-13And now, isn't it wonderful all the ways in which this distress has goaded you closer to God? You're more alive, more concerned, more sensitive, more reverent, more human, more passionate, more responsible. Looked at from any angle, you've come out of this with purity of heart. And that is what I was hoping for in the first place when I wrote the letter. My primary concern was not for the one who did the wrong or even the one wronged, but for you—that you would realize and act upon the deep, deep ties between us before God. That's what happened—and we felt just great.

13-16And then, when we saw how Titus felt—his exuberance over your response—our joy doubled. It was wonderful to see how revived and refreshed he was by everything you did. If I went out on a limb in telling Titus how great I thought you were, you didn't cut off that limb. As it turned out, I hadn't exaggerated one bit. Titus saw for himself that everything I had said about you was true. He can't quit talking about it, going over again and again the story of your prompt obedience, and the dignity and sensitivity of your hospitality. He was quite overwhelmed by it all! And I couldn't be more pleased—I'm so confident and proud of you.

My Thoughts About This:

Instead of being make welcome in our homes, families and communities, we are making people feel invisible, valueless. We don't take the time anymore to communicate hospitality, to be hospitable, courteous and civil in our day to day relationships. The enemy has weighed us down in cultural excess and is sitting on our hospitable spirits, so we are underneath his conditions, judgements, and disposition and normal civility and courtesty in our relationships is cut off. In our families, churches and communities we walk about with our nose in the air, with snobbish hearts that isolate others, making them feel invisible.

My Thoughts About This:

Selflessness is the atmosphere where hospitality thrives and grows. Our culture is dominated by self-indulgent excesses and in this atmosphere hospitality has been held down and the spirit of common courtesy and civility towards one another has been shut out of relationships.

Hebrews 13:1-3

1LET LOVE for your fellow believers continue and be a fixed practice with you [never let it fail]. 2Do not forget or neglect or refuse to extend hospitality to strangers [in the brotherhood--being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part generously], for through it some have entertained angels without knowing it

My Thoughts About This:

Hospitality must be a fixed practice! This is how strong the Lord felt about it! Hospitality in our generation is failing. God said to never let it fail! The result is that we are invisible to one another. Do you feel invisible? Sometimes I just feel invisible! I know that is satan's plan to use the standards, titles, and busyness of our culture to isolate us from one another and satan is raising up conditions in the place of unconditional love and God's wisdom. Do you ever feel invisible? People just don't care for one another anymore unless they need you for something. Our culture has developed a self centered – self indulgence for excess and the by-product of that is isolation. The common hospitality, the every day courtesy and civility towards one another is trumped by the busy American life. Then there is the cultural titles that put up barriers of conditions that make you feel like you are not even good enough to get an eye to eye contact, because you are not properly culturally titled.

Romans 12:10-21

Love one another with brotherly affection [as members of one family], giving precedence and showing honor to one another. 11 Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord. 12 Rejoice and exult in hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of God's people [sharing in the necessities of the saints]; pursue the practice of hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you [who are cruel in their attitude toward you]; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice [sharing others' joy], and weep with those who weep [sharing others' grief]. 16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, exclusive), but readily adjust yourself to [people, things] and give yourselves to humble tasks. Never overestimate yourself or be wise in your own conceits.(A) 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is honest and proper and noble [aiming to be above reproach] in the sight of everyone. 18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for [God's] wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord. 20 But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head. 21Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good.

My Thoughts About This:

Snobbery is a practiced characteristic in our culture, even in our churches it is prevalent. It really makes me sad as I in my own life grow through this isolation from one day to another. It is in our families, our homes, our churches, our communities and it is cutting off the air to the fellowship of hospitality. I can text, email, facebook, call, write and even invite people into a communicative relationship and it is like I am invisible. Tell me why do people not even have time to politely answer a text message with a short acknowledgement? Why do people make other people feel invisible? Why don't we take the time in families, churches, communities to even acknowledge one another? It only takes a minute to say Hi, to text back a reply, to answer something on your facebook, to return a phone call, to RSVP to an invitation, to acknowledge the existence of relationship with a short communication. What has happened to us? We have fallen into a cultural trap of holding on to and holding up all of our excess and therefore, isolation is the result. We have placed conditions on our communications with others, judging them by our standards and withholding communication because of prejudiced opinions. Do you feel invisible?

My Thoughts About This:

Are you treating others as if they are invisible? It is time to check our hearts, to be the people God has created us to be. God created us to be relational. It is time to get back to the basics of life. It is time to stop judging one another by conditions and open our hearts back up to all of God's people, being willing to communicate His love. It is time to stop being so busy that we can't even say hello to a relative, we can't take 5 minutes to communicate value to someone else. Jesus acknowledge everyone, He made people feel like they had value and worth, that their lives mattered. He communicated it! Lord I pray You would break down the walls of isolation in our homes, families, churches and communities and bring us back to putting a priority on people rather than things. Make our time count each day, help us to encourage others, to help them know that they matter, they are valuable. Open the heart of communication in our lives once again.

1 Peter 4:8-10

Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and [a]disregards the offenses of others].(A) 9Practice hospitality to one another (those of the household of faith). [Be hospitable, be a lover of strangers, with brotherly affection for the unknown guests, the foreigners, the poor, and all others who come your way who are of Christ's body.] And [in each instance] do it ungrudgingly (cordially and graciously, without complaining but as representing Him). 10As each of you has received a gift (a particular spiritual talent, a gracious divine endowment), employ it for one another as [befits] good trustees of God's many-sided grace [faithful stewards of the [b]extremely diverse powers and gifts granted to Christians by unmerited favor].

Notes From book "power thoughts" by joyce meyer

Joyce Meyer: Notes From Book Power Thoughts

Whatever challenges you the most, decide now that you are going to set your mind for total victory
Joyce Meyer
Talking to yourself ahead of time is one of the ways to set your mind.
I am not going to overeat when I sit down for meals today. I will stop when I begin to feel full. I will make good food choices and I will not eat emotionally.
I am going to think positive thoughts and speak positive words.
I am going to live to please God, not people. I want to be accepted but I will not compromise my faith and moral integrity. Joyce Meyer
I am not going to be excessive in any area of my life.
The message you have recorded inside yourself will begin to play back to you, and making the right decision will not be nearly as difficult as it would have been had you not yet made up your mind about what you would do when that situation presented itself

My Thoughts About This:

I like to say "settle it" I like to have things settled before the situation arises, I like to have them settled in my mind and in my heart.

Recognizing your weak areas and knowing what kinds of situations are challenging to you in life is wise. Joyce Meyer
