We can't see His purposes in play in our lives and we don't see the whole picture like He does. Today you have exactly what you need and that is JESUS, He is more than you or anyone else needs and in every moment of your life, He has a good plan and reason for it. I pray for you today, that you will cling tighter to God, dig your roots deeper in His Kingdom. Let go of your need to understand, grasp the truth, the promise, the hope of Jesus Christ, and know the future He has provided for you. We don't belong here, this is a fallen world and nothing will be perfect. Psalm 62:5 has it right… put all your hope and expectations in Jesus and live, live your today in HOPE of HIM. We have no idea how rich we really are. I pray God gives you a glimpse of what you do have as you take your eyes off of what you don't have. Believe me, I am no different from you, I am preaching to myself! We can "grow through" this season of life, we CAN do it because of Christ in us. We CAN Trust HIM when we don't understand HIS Ways, because we KNOW… He promised… eventually all is good! Praying for us both to endure, "grow through" this day in the love and joy of Jesus! JOY meaning us putting Jesus 1<sup>st</sup> Others 2<sup>nd</sup> You (Us) 3<sup>rd</sup>.

</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Trust is who we are. It is part of our DNA, Our Savior stamped on our infant soul "trut in me is required". Since we took our first breathe, until we take our last breathe, we are required to trust God. There is no getting around His requirement. He made us trust in the beginning, so we would learn to continue a life of trust in Him.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>We were born desperately needy. The milk from our mother's breast sustained our life.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>At the genesis of our faith we were infants who sucked life from our Savior Jesus. He was air for our soul.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God loves us as an infant and He does not cast us off in our riper years. He was our God when we left our mother and He will be our God when we return to Him.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Be glad that God requires trust in Him. Trust connects us to Christ. It keeps us close to HIM. There is no better place to be than near the heart of God! Boyd Bailey

For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One),9 And that I may [actually] be found and known as in Him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law's demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One), the [truly] right standing with God, which comes from God by [saving] faith

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#0070c0'>"'If a person sins because he does not speak up when he hears a public charge to testify regarding something he has seen or learned about, he will be held responsible.'"</span>
<span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>Leviticus 5:1
</strong></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Responsible people speak up when necessary. Sometimes, it is easier to remain silent, but God has not called us to a path of least resistance. We can stay silent but eventually it will come out. It may come out in angry passive-aggressive reactions related to our uncommunicated observations or it may express itself in built-up resentment or bitterness that eats away at our good nature and steals our joy. Suffering in silence is not God's design. He wants us to speak up under the influence of His Spirit. Even if the words are hard and direct, God's Spirit can deliver them in a loving manner.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> hen you speak up, it means you care. We love the person too much to allow them to hurt themselves and others with self-inflicted attitudes and inappropriate actions. This is especially hard for men. Pride and ego keep us from being vulnerable to rejection or relational controversy, but we owe it to God, to others, and ourselves to <span style='color:#0070c0'>"speak the truth in love"</span>
<span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>(Ephesians 4:15).</strong></span> Love compels you to take a relational risk and say something. Be faithful to speak the words, and trust God with the results.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Furthermore, make sure to speak up and defend those who are defenseless. Rise to the defense of widows, orphans, and the poor who are crushed under the weight of the world's injustice. You may not have to look very far. There may be family members who need your attention. Second, third, and fourth chances are called for to model Christ's attitude of acceptance. Your reputation may become soiled because you choose to speak up on behalf of a seedy soul, but trust God. We can relate best to sinners because we suffer from the same temptations and sorrows. Christians are sinners saved by the grace of God, no one is beyond God's reach.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Lastly, speak up for and serve the poor. The poor need a person they can trust. The poor need us to give them a voice against the greedy souls who seek to take advantage of them. They need financial training; they need medical supplies and education; they need nutrition; they need jobs; they need indoor plumbing; they need shoes on their feet and clothes on their backs. Mostly, they need a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. The poor are drawn to Jesus when they see God's people stand up for them. They are attracted to those who care enough to sit in their homes and drink coffee, create jobs, and speak up on their behalf. It may be building Christian schools so that the poor can receive a quality education in a loving environment. It is time some of us break out of our bubble of affluence and expose ourselves to the sufferings of the poor.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>You sin if you remain silent over those who are defenseless. The Bible says, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world" (James 1:27).

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#0070c0'>"The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." </span><span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>Genesis 2:18
</strong></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Husbands have a God given support system in their sweet spouse. Heaven has provided just the right wife for a husband to receive help. This divine strategy is a blessing, because left to himself, a husband is incomplete—he maintains at best. The Lord's plan gives a wife the opportunity to make her man feel confident and in control. Most of all her love for Jesus is the fuel that fuels her faith in her husband. She is his best helper.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>What if your husband is ungrateful and hard to please? Your model of unselfish support is a testimony to your trust in God. If your husband takes you for granted, pray the Holy Sprit will convict him of his need for appreciation. A supportive attitude attracts your husband to your heart. Trust the Lord will grow him in grace and gratitude. A woman of prayer wisely waits on God to work, without rushing ahead with sincere solutions.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened..." Ephesians 1:18a
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Support him when he is mad and your patient smile will make him glad. Support him when he is sick and your compassionate heart will bring quicker healing. Support him when he is successful and your unselfish celebration will cause mutual joy. Support him in his work and your loyalty to his labor will grow his feelings of significance. Above all, support him as your spiritual leader, as your validation gives him courage to continue.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>As a husband you may seem self-sufficient, but you are really not a lone ranger. You are one flesh with your bride and you need her help. So, acknowledge your dependence on God and your need for your wife's support. Invite her into your hopes and fears. Be vulnerable with your emotions that are hard to express and receive her comfort and counsel. It's bad to be alone at home with your wife, but it is very, very good to have her selfless support.

Why? Because God has gone before you, The Way-Maker. He wants you to learn to wait and know that as you wait, He is making the crooked way straight for you. Our human condition is so impulsive and we want what we can see and we push forward without God to make a way to grab it! Even if what you want something you can see is in the distance, if God is giving you only the directions for one small step a day, this has to be enough! Why? Because God has His Kingdom Purposes in play, step by step as He purposefully is working out His best in the ALL of the situation. Resist your impulsive nature by remembering "God's Got This" and He wants time to work out His purposes thoroughly. Impulsive One… Will you give God time to work this out in His perfect timing? <em>Be ALL-In With God's Timing And Purposes And Wait With HUGE HOPE</em>, knowing His purposes are in play and one day you will look back in heavenly hindsight and be so grateful you waited to walk in HIS Light, HIS Way and did not kindle your own fire and walk by the light of a man made fire that flamed out and left you tormented in the dark.

The Bible says that He has removed your transgressions from you, so you don't have to hang on to them anymore.

I still hold to that truth, but I have learned a couple of things from a dear pastor/friend of mine that I would like to share with you this morning: </strong></span><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Verdana; font-size:7pt'><strong>1. My relationship with God must come before my family.

</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Verdana; font-size:7pt'><strong>2. My relationship with God must always come before my ministry. I have to be careful not to allow my pastoral position to become my god. Sometimes the demands of ministry are overwhelming. It is absolutely impossible to meet all the ministry needs that are before me on a daily basis. I must know and do the will of God first and then the proper priorities will be observed in the ministry to which God has called me.</strong></span><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Verdana; font-size:7pt'><strong>My prayer today is that we all look at our lives and ask the question, "Do I have my priorities in line with God's plan for the day?"

God is the healer, we can't heal, we can't encourage and sometimes life throws us things that are so horrific, we can't even say anything that matters. Only God can heal and repair our shattered hearts, and we do the best serving of God when we point people to HIM, we tell people about HIM and show them the Way to Him… and hope huge that the hurt and the healer will collide… because that is where healing begins!

<span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>(Proverbs 10:19).</strong></span>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Tempered talk is evidence of wise conversation. When our words are many we run the risk of soliciting sin. Increased words increase the probability of improper speech. For example, respectful conversation does not repeat the same words and phrases in a confined period of time. This impatient cadence frustrates.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Perhaps a look of misunderstanding requires questioning for clarification or definitions for comprehension. Proud conversationalists can hijack a listener's understanding with a hoard of words with no meaning. If your goal is to communicate, then take the time to listen to the needs of your audience. People who feel cared for and understood have a keener sense of hearing and understanding.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#0070c0'>"Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue"</span>

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>
<strong><em>Wise people weigh their words before they speak. They allow their minds to catch up with their hearts.</em></strong> Furthermore, in the face of wrong behavior, emotions sometimes need to express themselves. Let the other person know if you feel mistreated or misinformed. Concealed anger leads to living a lie (see Proverbs 10:18), but tempered talk is truthful and to the point.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Lastly, you reserve your words out of respect for the other person. If you do all the talking, you are the center of attention. Conversation becomes condescending when the other individual does not feel important enough to speak up. So, honor others by speaking less, listening more intently to how you can love them. Wisdom can be found in the words of each person you meet. Therefore, intentionally talk less and be wise.

</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>We often think of trusting God for things we need or want, but a true relationship of trust in God extends beyond trusting Him just to get something. We need to learn to trust Him through the process of attaining those things we desire.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>There was a time in my life when I focused intensely on trusting God for things, saying, 'I want this, God,' and 'I need such-and-such, God.' He began to show me that getting all those things was not the most important issue in my life.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>He wanted to teach me how to trust Him enough to walk through situations with stability and with a good attitude on a consistent basis. He needed me to learn that He may not always rescue us when we want to get out of circumstances, but He is always with us as we walk through them.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>God does not always deliver us from everything when we think He should, but He is always with us. <strong><em>Today, instead of focusing on just the end result, realize that God is with you now. He is near to you, so trust Him to walk with you through the process.

So much we can't wrap our finite minds around. Senselessness batters my soul and inflicts deep wounds. I don't understand how you could take a handful of pills, walk into a forest and die in a drainage ditch all alone. I don't understand why you would leave behind a beautiful wife and an incredible son. Senselessness! This life is full of it! People who can't be truthful, people who devalue relationship with you by constantly deceiving you. Senselessness. Why? God! Why? Isolation! Feeling Invisible In A World Full Of People! Senselessness. People who shun you from their lives because you don't measure up to their standard, because your life sharpens their life as God planned it to be.

</p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I don't understand! I can't make sense out of this life. I can't wrap my mind around this tragedy. Why shun people, why cut them out of your life, why not speak the truth, live truly and deal truly? Why Isolation? Why treat people like they are invisible? Why can't we matter? Why do we devalue each other so much! Senselessness!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Senselessness tempts me every day and it speaks of nothing that makes sense and nothing I really want to listen to: This Season of life? Really? For Real? Why alone? Why? Why? Why? I don't understand? Senselessness! What is the reason for it? How do I get through this day of grief in such a lonely wilderness? No family here. No friends to talk to, everyone is busy surviving the best way they can! I am invisible! I feel so isolated! No one really wants to be in a relationship with me! I don't understand. Why? Please help me Jesus, I feel so alone, I can't do this. Another year here! Really! I am so lonely. Why is this Your plan for me? <strong><em>Pity Parties Are Senselessness And Prayer Shuts Them Down!</em></strong> Jesus, show me the purpose that makes my life worth something in this season of time. Jesus, help me step into Your Purpose that is already in play in my life for my good. Please help me Jesus to "grow through" this season of my life and bloom, glow your Glory right where You have planted me.

I don't understand, yet I kind of do… he did what all of us would like to do in this dry and weary land, this place that is not our home, this place we struggle to fit into, so full of people yet so lonely. He escaped, he ended the pain. But to where? But To what? Senselessness!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>We have a future and a hope in Jesus Christ, yet the loneliness, isolation, hopelessness and despair of this world seems more than even we can bear at times. <strong><em>This culture, this generation specializes in making people feel invisible.</em></strong>
<strong><em>Selfishness in pursuit of worldly personal goals brings out an isolation that devalues others.</em></strong> We feel invisible here, in this season of life! We don't understand the good in this plan in play for our life. We don't understand, we don't see the purpose in God's way of doing things, but thankfully We KNOW God is with us, His purposes are in play in the unseen for our good! We cling to God! We know we don't belong here and we dig our roots deeply in His Kingdom.

Pain-hurt-sorrow… BUT… <strong><em>My personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ Is Enough. He is my peace that surpasses the senselessness! Simply-Significantly He Makes Sense! He Is My Only Solution! I Cling To HIM!</em></strong> I Dig My Roots Deeply Into His Kingdom Today. I rejoice and find my joy in HIM! I am so grateful, so thankful, so humbled to be HIS. He loves me completely without any conditions. There is no one in this world that does that. I feel hammered by the conditions of people, that even in my God designed shape, I can't meet! I feel beat up by the conditional love others impose on me! I feel invisible and not valued because of human conditions and human expectations I can't meet. I am shunned by people because they don't like who I am. Yet what I know trumps all of that: <strong><em>I am not invisible to AWE-GOD, I am not shunned by God, He sees me fully and loves me completely!</em></strong>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'>
</p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#984806; font-family:Georgia; font-size:16pt'><strong><em>I Accepted Jesus Christ! I Love Him! I Serve Him With My Life! There Is No Other Conditions I Have To Meet To Be In God's Amazing Presence, To Be Completely Loved By HIM. I Am So Grateful For That. I Am Loved, Even Though I Am His Flawed Masterpiece In Progress. He Comes To Where I Am. AWE-GOD Has A Good Plan For Me! I Am So Grateful To Know HIM And Thankful Beyond Measure To Be Known By HIM! I Am A Broken Vessel Filled With His Light! Busted, Yet I Still Glow God's Glory!
</em></strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'>
</p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><strong><em>I am AWED that He gave His life for me, a person flawed by the human condition, a work in continual process!</em></strong> I have never been able to finish strong and unable to do anything completely right, or make sense of anything in this life, yet JESUS thinks I am that valuable, that I am worthy. I am so important to HIM, that HE gave up HIS life for me. Rejected by people because of HIM and His Truth, yet accepted fully by HIM, and accepting HIM FULLY, my chains of senselessness fall at the foot of His Cross.

<strong><em>My Future in HIM is Awesome.</em></strong> Daily it brings me joy that shatters the dark senselessness in my life with a forever LIGHT. So I wait in this senselessness, this loneliness, this hurt, this isolation of this season of my life…feeling invisible in a world full of people, I wait in His Presence, In HUGE HOPE and I rest my soul in His Infinite Love, which is completely enough for me today and I KNOW I am seen and loved by HIM.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The consequences of people's senseless sins batter our souls! Senseless this life is at times, the senseless hurtful things people do, yet we have a hope in God that anchors our soul. Senselessness tempts me to want to fix everything. I want to bear the pain of everyone, take it from them, change their situations, I want to be that person, but I can't, I can't do it! Sometimes, <strong><em>I am just as lost, pain filled, wounded, hurting and alone as the next person, BUT I can, I can point you to, tell you about and introduce you to the ONLY ONE Who can make your life complete, purposeful and eternally matter….</em></strong>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'>

</p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><strong><em>Jesus Is Enough. This Is Joy. This Is Peace…. Infinitely So! Cling To Jesus Christ, Dig Your Roots Deeply Into His Kingdom.</em></strong> Every morning, I bow before Him in AWE and gratefulness that He loves me, thankful for another day that I know in my own strength, wisdom and ability, I can't do successfully, but in HIM, I can do all things today and I can enjoy, bless and matter with great Kingdom Purpose. <strong><em>I am not invisible to GOD, He sees me and He knows every hair on my head, He collects every tear and He hears every word I speak and responds with His best.</em></strong> There is no greater way to live than in Christ Jesus. Just Do It! Make sense out of your senselessness by not having to know anything or anyone but AWE-GOD!

Just start doing what's right and then stick with it.

I am not sorry for keeping my commitment to truth in all my relationships.

Objects of evil wrath, a sinner by human nature, but God loved me with mercy made me alive with Christ, even when I was dead in sin. By Grace of God, I have been saved, raised up with Christ. God wanted to show the riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us by Jesus. I have been saved by Grace, through faith, God's gift. It is not about what I do, it is about Who loved me. I have been prepared by God for good works. I was separate from Christ, excluded from God, without hope, without God with me and for me. I have been brought near to God by the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus is my peace, He abolished the law, the regulation and created relationship with God. He reconciled me to God through the cross and put to death the hostility of sin. He came and preached peace. We have access to the Father God because of Jesus Christ. I am a fellow cistzen of the Kingdom of God, I am part of the people of the Kingdom. I am being built by the Holy Spirit to become the dwelling where He lives.

</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Brethren, [with all] my heart's desire and goodwill for [Israel], I long and pray to God that they may be saved. 2 I bear them witness that they have a [certain] zeal and enthusiasm for God, but it is not enlightened and according to [correct and vital] knowledge. 3 For being ignorant of the righteousness that God ascribes [which makes one acceptable to Him in word, thought, and deed] and seeking to establish a righteousness (a means of salvation) of their own, they did not obey or submit themselves to God's righteousness. 4 For Christ is the end of the Law [the limit at which it ceases to be, for the Law leads up to Him Who is the fulfillment of its types, and in Him the purpose which it was designed to accomplish is fulfilled. That is, the purpose of the Law is fulfilled in Him] as the means of righteousness (right relationship to God) for everyone who trusts in and adheres to and relies on Him.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>5 For Moses writes that the man who [can] practice the righteousness (perfect conformity to God's will) which is based on the Law [with all its intricate demands] shall live by it.(A) 6 But the righteousness based on faith [imputed by God and bringing right relationship with Him] says, Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend into Heaven? that is, to bring Christ down; 7 Or who will descend into the abyss? that is, to bring Christ up from the dead [as if we could be saved by our own efforts].(B) 8 But what does it say? The Word (God's message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart; that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we preach,(C) 9 Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation. 11 The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him [who adheres to, relies on, and trusts in Him] will [ever] be put to shame or be disappointed.(D)12 [No one] for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. The same Lord is Lord over all [of us] and He generously bestows His riches upon all who call upon Him [in faith]. 13 For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord] will be saved.(E) 14 But how are people to call upon Him Whom they have not believed [in Whom they have no faith, on Whom they have no reliance]? And how are they to believe in Him [adhere to, trust in, and rely upon Him] of Whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher? 15 And how can men [be expected to] preach unless they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings! [How welcome is the coming of those who preach the good news of His good things!](F) 16 But they have not all heeded the Gospel; for Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed (had faith in) what he has heard from us?(G) 17 So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself).

</span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Over the past week, the possibility of war in the middle east has grown significantly. Last week, a National Intelligence Report (NIE) detailing Iran's significant progress towards military nuclear capability was delivered to President Obama. Over the weekend, Egypt's Prime Minister Morsi ousted his Defense minister along with the Egyptian Chief of Staff, in a radical shake up of the Egyptian army. The situation in Syria intensifies daily, with the growing possibility for transfer of their chemical weapons to terrorist organizations. Yesterday, it was announced that Israel began testing an SMS system to alert all Israelis of a possible war, (the regional test for our area is this Thursday). Gas masks are being distributed rapidly across the country; we received ours last month. Israel may very soon be at war. Meanwhile, we believers – we've been at war since we came to faith!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#0070c0'>"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Thus Paul instructed us in Ephesians. We fight against the kingdom of Satan. We fight with spiritual weapons; prayer, the Word of God, faith in His truth and His power– these are not carnal weapons but spiritual. We are seated in the heavenlies with Him</span>
<span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>[Ephesians 1:20],</strong></span> and in His authority we make our stand. <strong><em>The enemy's weapons are temptations, fiery darts of doubt and disbelief, discouragement, weariness, earthly pleasures.</em></strong> Thus the enemy distracts us from, and disarms us in the battle position. But what soldier goes to war without taking the equipment necessary for war? A soldier on the battlefield without his weapons is useless and helpless, and in great danger. So it is in the spiritual realm. We need to actively take up our spiritual armor and weapons to fight the enemy. And we have this promise -- when the enemy comes in -- like a flood the Spirit of the Lord shall raise up a standard against Him! Are you ready to make your stand in this day?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Kimberly, now, today, war is a very real threat in the physical realm – but it's already been here for millennia in the spiritual realm. So by all means necessary take up the armor of God today – stand with Him in faith and win your battle, one day at a time -- win the battle over your thoughts and your actions. YHVH Tz'vaot, "The LORD of Hosts" is with you, to strengthen, equip, and overcome; and His victory is assured!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#0070c0'>"Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."</span>
<span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>1 Timothy 6:10</strong></span>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The Church of Jesus Christ has the opportunity and obligation to serve the injustices of society in Jesus' name. Protecting the life of the unborn and elderly, providing for widows and orphans, caring for the sick and dying, and visiting those in jail or prison allows the church to engage in the culture. <strong><em>Compassion is not just a feeling, but a meaningful effort to get involved</em></strong>. A secular society needs a Savior to save its soul of injustice.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Who is the church? It is both an institution and the individual believers who make up the Body of Christ. We are responsible corporately and personally to serve society with good deeds and with the good news of salvation in Jesus. <strong><em>Words without works is dead faith, and works without words is ashamed faith. </em></strong>Thus, the Body of Christ is light and life for a dark and dying society.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>"Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." 1 Timothy 5:8
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>So, where does the family of faith first show it cares? You start by providing for your family: your household and your relatives. It may be transportation to get them to work, a prayer over the phone, a rent payment, groceries, or sponsoring their attendance at an intensive marriage retreat. <strong><em>Families who follow Jesus are a compelling force for good in the culture.
</em></strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Secondly, the Body of Christ is to care for its own. There is a spiritual kinship that benefits those who serve the King of Kings. Who do you know in your church whose tears silently cry out for care? Who is too embarrassed to ask for financial help, but your anonymous generosity would be a tourniquet to their bleeding budget? <strong><em>The wounds of social injustice are a wake up call for aggressive acts of kindness.
</em></strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#0070c0'>"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."</span>
<span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>Galatians 6:2</strong></span>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Lastly, the Church is called to engage the culture as a whole in social justice. Serving the poor and needy, defending the rights of the unborn, and upholding biblical marriage are right strategies for the righteous. The good news of Jesus goes to the heart for salvation, the mind for renewal, and the body for purification. Social justice for the Church is modeling Christ's actions of preaching, teaching, giving, feeding and clothing. We love children and honor the elderly. As the Church grows in its influence the need for government lessens. Where the Lord reigns above—justice rains down on society.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27

</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>"I'll never be able to write like that."
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>"If my church had the resources that church had then we'd be set."
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>"I sure wish God had given me the musical talent he has."
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>"What I would give to have as many church members as him."
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Admit it, you've had thoughts just like this. Probably more than once.<br/>Maybe even today.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>We're all prone to compare ourselves to those around us. As a writer,<br/>pastor, and musician I'm constantly wondering how I stack up next to others<br/>out there doing similar things. Do people like me as much or more than<br/>others?
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Comparison is dangerous</strong>. Give yourself enough time comparing your meager<br/>efforts in life and you'll begin to realize just how awful you really are.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Comparison is dangerous for what is does to you, underneath the surface. It<br/>wages a war against your morale and puts you into a submission that forces<br/>stagnation.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>But comparison also tarnishes the Creator God who created you His image.<br/>Consider Brennan Manning's tough words:
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>"<strong>Any attempt to measure the value of our lives by comparison and contrast<br/>to others belittles our gifts and dishonors God by our ungratefulness</strong>" (pg.<br/>144, <em>Ruthless Trust</em>).
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>None of us want to dishonor the God who created us. None of us want to<br/>remain stagnant by comparing ourselves to others. Yet we do it. Over and<br/>over again.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Having struggled mightily with this over the past year, I've yet to rid my<br/>life of comparison, but I have been able to overcome it much more often.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Rather than being stuck in the prison of comparison that damages my<br/>self-worth and dishonors God I've allowed 2 principles to move me past the<br/>danger of comparison.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>1. Speak Truth to Yourself</strong>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>If it sounds simple, that's because it is. <strong><em>In comparison to others, what is<br/>lost is the truth about how God sees you and how He has gifted you.
</em></strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Every morning I spend the first 15 to 45 minutes in prayer, meditation, and<br/>reading. I always end the time by reciting this short and simple prayer of<br/>truth:
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><em>*You are not defined by what you do. You are defined by who you are. You<br/>are a son of the King." </em>Tyler Braun
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Comparison sums up our lives by what we've done in the past rather than<br/>looking to the future, and it certainly doesn't take stock of where our<br/>identity should be placed.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Mere words or the recitation of a short prayer won't have a short term<br/>effect but they could very well by the launching point for you.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>It's often the smallest, incremental shift that leads to the most<br/>significant change in our lives.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>2. Discover and Develop Your Gifts</strong>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Comparison brings us down because we're trying to impute someone else's<br/>gifts into our lives. God didn't create us that way.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#c00000'><strong><em>We weren't created in order to try to become like someone else. We were<br/>created to discover how God uniquely made us and to live out this creation.<br/></em></strong></span>But discovering is not the end game. We all know someone who has incredible<br/>gifts and talents but squanders it all away by not developing what they've<br/>discovered.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>This is where the help and influence of others come in. I've yet to<br/>discover a gift of mine without the influence of another person who helped<br/>me see what I could not.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>You cannot simply know your gifts, you must understand them.</strong>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>We can know our gifts through textbooks but we must develop them by living<br/>them out to truly understand them. Through our engagement of relationship<br/>with God and others we can continue living out the creation within us.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>God asks one thing of you: <strong>Be who you are created to be.</strong>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>As the old saying goes, "<em>Be who you is, cause if you ain't who you is, you<br/>is who you ain't."</em>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Those of you who have struggled to move beyond the danger of comparison,<br/>please share some of your comparison story in the comments.</strong>

I struggle with comparing other Christians to myself and what God has called me to be and do. When I do this, it takes the form of judgement. I judge them for what God has called me to and progressively worked in me through His purposes at play in my life. I compare myself to them and I judge them for doing things that God has asked me not to do. I judge them by comparison of the life perspective I have gained by personally following after God's plan for me. Some examples are some Christians drink alcohol, I don't because God has asked me to abstain. Some Christians go to "R" rated movies, I don't because God has asked me not too. There are TV shows God has asked me not to watch, other Christians watch them. I can't let what God has spoken to me personally, or is teaching me personally, be a comparison of what other Christians are doing or not doing, otherwise I get a really judgemental attitude.

They said if we took them, they would change them out in six months for the mortgage we wanted. Instead of backing out and trusting God, instead of giving God time to work out His best for us, we made a bad mistake and took those loans, which of course in 6 months they said they could not change out. We paid the consequences for our human condition of impulsive-fix it mentality, instead of waiting on God's best and as hard as we tried, we could not get out of those bad mortgages for the last 7 years. God in all His Mercy, even though we don't deserve it, has lifted this consequence. What we entered into with finite stupidity, He has lifted in that Infinite-Miraculous way of His. We are so grateful for God's Mercy! AWE-GOD! To You, Jehovah Be The Glory! How cool it is that in the 7<sup>th</sup> year, God lifted the consequences. Wow!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>LOL! Love it! Love the perspective and just love being called stupid and knowing that finite is as finite does, thank God for Infinite perspective! Everyone has a perspective gained by their God gifted personalities and the life experiences we gain from it. This is called opinion. I love America, because we can have opinions and we can learn and grow in personal perspective from everyone's creative opinion. Gays and Christians can live freely and express freely without the fear of being killed by the government for who they are in AMERICA! That is why we stood in line! Freedom expressed! But in the end, none of this stands, and we don't stand her on this earth, we stand before AWE-GOD! Our finite opinion is forever trumped by God's Truth and our finite lives and all we do with them will one day bow before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. This is truly the only thing that matters forever. What you do now with your life matters because of the heart motive behind it and hopefully that heart motive is driven by the Passion Jesus Christ has for this world and all in it and the hope that we all will chose HIS Way, His TRUTH, His life because it is the only life that ends in eternity. As for me, if God calls me to stand in line and eat anything I would do it, because Jesus did what God asked HIM to do, died on a cross and how was that logical in anyway... how was that good for His body? Humanly logical? It wasn't to me, I still can't wrap my mind around why the King of Kings died on a cross for me, but I can wrap my mind around the result, my eternal life! So I cling tightly to Jesus, I dig my roots deeply in HIS Kingdom and I serve HIM 1st. Your article is written from a different perspective, it is your opinion, I don't agree with all of it, but I gleam from it your passion to eat healthy and live healthy and I learned from it, so thanks! I especially learned a lot from your wisdom on dimethylpolysiloxane. That is what America is about, living and learning together and the free expression of our perspectives. But in an Infinite perspective God is pleased when His people stand for HIM, for His Truth, His Freedom, His Way, and He see's our hearts in wanting to stand for a company that was under fire not for their food or the way they make it, but because they shared they agreed with the God created Sacrament of Marriage, the state government decided they should not do business in that state. And you missed the main point because standing in that line was not about condemning people for the way they live, that's God's job and He did pretty well at expressing how we should live in the Bible, including how we eat (as you also decided to judge others by) standing in that line and eating that food was about saying we have the "right" in America to our perspectives and no one can take that right of expression away! God see's our hearts and in the end HE will judge everyone for every motive, action, thought... yes we can have an opinion, a perspective, but in the end HE is the Final JUDGE! This Infinite AWE-GOD that we love and serve as finite beings, we could never begin to know or understand how His purposes in play in our lives everyday are working according to HIS control and by His divine direction and power. Just like the God purpose of Mike Huckabee declaring a Chicken day, you may see that as finite stupidity, but God designed it with great Kingdom purpose. We will never know and understand the mind, purposes and ways of GOD, so I guess calling others stupid is easier! Exercising a finite right may appear to be stupid and foolish from your perspective, but from God's perspective it is Infinite! Mike Huckabee was not the mastermind behind it, God was and it wasn't about chicken or dimethylpolysiloxane or human stupidity, it was all about HIM, His purposes in play in our mess, making His message about the Infinite reality of His Life, His Kingdom, for His Glory! None of us are truly free without God and His Truth and none of us have a future without God. Our 1<sup>st</sup> call is to HIM, not chicken, not our bodies, not our causes, not anything or anyone but HIM. If you want us to not be stupid with our bodies and make good healthy habits, HE is where you need to point people to 1<sup>st</sup>. Because if you are fully facing God, listening and obeying HIM, in relationship with HIM 1<sup>st</sup>, then whatever line you stand in on this earth has great eternal purpose! My first followship is to Jesus Christ, My Lord and Savior and to HIM and His Truth I stand forever true! So to call me "stupid" for something I do may be correct, but to call me "stupid" for who I am being is complete foolishness, because you, my finite friend cannot see my heart, but God can… Infinitely so!

One of the founders of the modern state of Israel, David Ben-Gurion once said, "Courage is a special kind of knowledge, the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Kimberly, while Ben Gurion's words carry a certain worldly wisdom to inspire courage, we also can have courage which comes from a special kind of knowledge...the knowledge that we have a God who loves and supports and protects us and carries us through, even the most trying times and circumstances. So let's not become fearful in these days – but instead become bold as a lion, to accomplish the good works He prepared for us from the foundation of the world. Let's walk with courage in these days in the knowledge that our God is with us, and with Him we will accomplish great things that seem impossible, because we know that He turns impossibilities into realities!

Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.'
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>One of God's great gifts to mankind is the power of choice.

You are a blueprint of a beauty birthed out of heaven. Your physical makeup is beautiful, because the eye of your beloved beholder is your heavenly Father.

Thankfully, I am learning not to chase my feelings, but pursue God with all my heart. Mattering is truly an issue as our hair grays, our hearts feels the need to matter more. I am not sure if it is a woman "thing" alone or if men struggle in this way too. Of all my years of life, I have never struggled more with this issue that "I matter" than now. I have to guard my heart against making "mattering" my emotional pursuit, instead of my 1<sup>st</sup> call to God. It is a difficult struggle as we get older and begin to feel we don't matter anymore. God finishes what He starts and this is a big truth that helps counteract this mid-life matter search! God's purposes don't stop working in our lives because we are getting older. There is always more to do for HIM and more to learn in HIM! Also, I always encourage myself with the truth that God does not change. His love, purposes and pursuit of us is the same no matter what our age!

</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#00b050; font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:16pt'><strong>In her book "Unleashing the Power of Rubber Bands", Nancy Ortberg talks about the need to differentiate between "a tension to be managed and a problem to be solved". One example for me is the constant tension between the administration/money side of ministry and the discipleship/hands on side of ministry. As pastor, I'm always going to have to balance tension between our business administrator working to conserve cash and our youth pastor finding legitimate ministry needs in which to spend it, for example. That's a tension to be managed, not a problem to be solved. On the other hand, an employee who is taking advantage of a more casual organizational structure, which I typically prefer…that's a problem to be solved. Quickly. A system, which is not working, causing more harm than good to the organization…problem to be solved. Now.
</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#00b050; font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:16pt'><strong>Most of the time, however, in my experience, churches are notorious for creating a new policy to attempt to manage the problem rather than doing the difficult work of solving it. Solving the problem often involves getting personal with people. It involves challenging people. It involves change. It involves holding people accountable to a higher standard. That's messy. It's never fun. Most churches like neat, clean and seemingly easy. (Just being honest.)
</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#00b050; font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:16pt'><strong>Using my illustration above, if the youth pastor has a perceived spending problem, rather than addressing the problem with him directly, many times a policy is created to "solve" the problem and curtail spending. Every other staff member may be performing satisfactorily, but the policy controls everyone. Plus, without wise counsel, the youth pastor never learns principles of healthy budgeting or how to manage cash flow, for example, and it continues to impact his ministry for years to come. Problem not solved.
</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#00b050; font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:16pt'><strong>Policies are easy. They are a piece of paper. They may involve some discussion, perhaps a committee meeting (maybe even a tense committee meeting), maybe even a church vote, but they seldom specifically address the people who are causing the problem in the first place. They make people feel better about the problem, but they almost never solve real problems. In fact, they usually only create more problems…which later need to be solved!

Perspective is the answer to understanding what causes the tension. Yes, I have lived it! I was a church financial admin secretary for years. I saw how miraculous it was, how God provided in His 29/59 kind of way. When you experience keeping the books at the church and you see the Provisional Hand of God, you want to protect that provision with great (tightwad) stewardship, it is only natural. I watched the finance committee meet and take papers in their hand that represented ministry and check it no because of lack of perspective. But, you have not experienced the other perspective of the miracles that happen daily in the discipleship area. A pastor once made us "shadow" each other for a week. One Admin & One Pastor paired up and we watched and lived in each other's "worlds". I gained a whole new perspective! We were no longer two silos containing our own corn to feed our "ministry", we were one. I have learned the problem with perspective is churches where their ministries become individual silos standing on their own, not really a good atmosphere for enlarging perspectives when the Pastor's Lay Council Board and the Staff have not walked in each other's shoes.

I believe the answer is because many religious people believe they should not experience joy as a way of relating to the suffering of Christ. Although I can see their point and understand their rationale, I believe we should show our feelings honestly and unimpeded.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>There is a distinction between natural favor and supernatural favor. Natural favor must be earned, but supernatural favor is a gracious gift from God.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>First Samuel 2:7 says, "The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and He lifts up." A perfect example of this is found in the life of Esther. God raised her up out of obscurity to become the queen of the entire land. He gave her favor with everyone she met, including the king.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Esther drew upon that favor to save herself and her people from being murdered by the evil Haman. She may have been afraid to go to the king and ask him to intervene, but Esther knew she had favor with God and pressed on with complete confidence in Him.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Like Esther, we should live with the freedom and liberty that comes from living in God's favor. Regardless of the circumstances that come into your life, believe God for supernatural favor.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Despite how hopeless things may seem, God can lift you up. If your life is in His hands, the light of the Lord shines upon you.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Prayer Starter: God, I don't rely on natural favor. Instead, I want to live in Your supernatural favor. With my life in Your hands, I know You can lift me up.

I need to be more aware of my need for Your Favor Lord, and ask you more as I face things in this world that our so crazy-stupid, things that I can't even begin to face or imagine a way out.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I often forget that it's not about me. Humility reminds me that it's Him first, them, and then me. I struggle with keeping myself off the throne of my life. Only one King can reign over a surrendered soul and that's my Savior Jesus. Yet, daily, my old life seeks to dethrone the Lord with its selfish whims and spiritual disengagement. Fortunately, by faith through grace, I am able to resist the flesh's foolish coup to overtake Christ.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><strong><em>Love wins, only when we use it as our spiritual strategy of choice. Devotion to one another in love is irresistible to the recipient and extremely fulfilling to the dispenser of grace.</em></strong> Sometimes it seems easier to be devoted to the Lord than to another human being. Yet, devotion to each other need not be fickled when unconditional love is the motivation. Devotion loves deeply. Indeed, our unselfish devotion is the fruit of purity.

</strong></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>What does it mean to honor another above yourself? How do you honor someone who is not honorable? <strong><em>The gift of honor is not based on whether someone is deserving or not—it is based on whether they are breathing or not.</em></strong> So, as children we honor our parents by involving them in our lives. As parents, we honor our children by being available to aid them. As team members at work, we honor each other by helping one another succeed.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>You extend honor when you listen with empathy and show compassion. You are honorable when you value a relationship over money. Honor wins when you respond in quiet humility, not loud hostility. <strong><em>It is honorable not to lower yourself to the dishonorable behavior of others, but to respond with direct and respectful conversation.</em></strong>
<strong><em>You represent Jesus well, when you honor both those who know Him and those who don't.
</em></strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Above all else, let your honor of others flow from your honor of the Lord. You honor Him best by becoming a living sacrifice of love and obedience to His expectations. Honor Him with your corporate worship at church and your individual service in Jesus' name. Honor Him by giving generously to the poor and needy. Honor Him with your body by remaining pure. Mostly, honor Him by being with Him to love and be loved. You know it's not about you when you gain joy and define JOY by: Jesus—Others—You.

We don't honor others when we are competing with them, but when we are supporting them in all they venture to do. We honor others on our team by helping them succeed in all that God has called them too. Competition really does deplete the spirit of unity on our ministry teams and causes us to dishonor others. If you are on the same ministry team with someone, why do you feel the need to compete with them? You have the same God Purpose and the common denominator of being called to Jesus 1<sup>st</sup>!

</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>1. Make it a decision of prayer and conviction. The more you can remove your personality or personal comfort from the process, the more likely you will be able to convince people you are leaving on good terms and that you are following God's will and not your own. (As I mentioned previously, it may be that God has released you to make the decision. I find that true many times. Your first step, in my opinion, is to make sure you aren't violating something God has told you to do or not to do.)
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>2. Start properly. I know. This is a post about leaving. But, honestly, that process starts long before the door swings closed. The sooner you start preparing people for your eventual exit, the easier your exit will be accepted by people when you do leave. Help cross train for your area. Identify key leaders who could fill in for an interim. You don't even have to share all this information, but be thinking ahead of time who those people might be. Start making lists of things you do that others may not know. Think in terms of "if I'm not here, then…" and write some of that stuff down to share when you leave.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>3. Discuss with and seek wisdom from one or two people you trust, who know you and the church. You'll need a sounding board to help you confirm your decision, but also to help determine the timing and approach of your exit.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>4. Develop a plan, with counsel and prayer, of how and when you intend to proceed. You'll need to decide who to contact first, when, and how to tell the church. This will likely be different for every church.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>5. Don't throw punches on the way out. There's never a win and often a lasting negative when a person lashes out in the final days of their involvement with a church. Any credibility gained can be quickly lost based on the way the person handles their exit.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>5. Work to protect spouses and children. Ministry can be very cruel and may even get ugly before it heals. Don't allow your family dynamic to suffer because of the problems of the church.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>6. Prepare your own emotions. It is likely to be hard leaving, even if things are miserable at the time. Chances are you've invested your heart in this church. You started with vision and enthusiasm. You felt a call to go there. You never intended things to turn out like this. Regardless of why you are leaving or what you are going to do next, it won't be easy walking away from something you have loved.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>7. Don't end when you walk out the door. Be available to further assist them as needed in the months after you leave. It may not be welcomed or needed but offering is the graceful way to exit and the right thing to do.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Don't Leave Impulsively – Leave In God's Timing. When God released me, I ran as fast as I could and I did not wait on His timing. I left a gap in the flow of ministry. God's timing is purposeful, He may release you from something and you feel that He has, but wait on His timing to go. In persevering until the timing is right, God finishes what He started, He bookends the season… if the season is not bookended by God's timing, you find yourself restless in your spirit when you begin a new thing, you have trouble focusing on the present. If you don't wait until God bookends that season and you leave a gap between the two season of your life, I find that is a spiritual open door for the enemy to come in and torture your mind! LOL! Been there and felt that!

Sadly, too many Pastors are engulfed in turmoil in their churches.The stress on the Pastor's wife and kids is heartwrenching. A deacon recently told me that it was just "part of the call" and it should be accepted else the family shouldn't be in ministry. Wow! Check out a book called "Pastor Abusers" by Kent Crockett and Mike Johnston. Thanks for your ministry. <br/>Dr. Cobb
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Oh how sad for a Deacon to say that… Deacons are gifted people and this gift has a different focus than most people in the church and sometimes you can see where if they don't balance out their giftedness, by being called to God1st, they get their horizontal and vertical church to God relationships mixed up! Vertical to God1st horizontal to church second! That kind of comment is what really discourages Pastors in times where they need the support to endure through.

That's easy when God answers prayer and delivers us from problems. But it isn't always easy when things go wrong. So how can we remain thankful in the midst of suffering? We have two choices to make. The first is to praise God in spite of what's going on in our lives. Or another way to say that is, in the midst of our troubles and hardships, we can rejoice over the things that are not wrong in our lives.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The second choice is to ask, "God, what can I learn from this? What do You want to teach me through this so that I may be closer to You and rejoice more fully in Your goodness?" Those are not easy questions, and the answers are often hard to hear. Sometimes we can only grasp the important lessons in our lives when we go through difficult times. Thank God that the hard times will lead you to better things.

He is more concerned with our heart and the things in our lives that will transfer to His Kingdom, things like patience, things like endurance, things like Kingdom wisdom and these I believe are the things that He treasures and the things that He wants to grow in us. To God, these things are bigger and better than anything He can bless us with in this world.

When we were in military ministry, we stood before 500 soldiers per weekend and shared the gospel, taught and encouraged them, they called me MommaMac and they called him "Sir", as they received the Word strongly, firmly and with great tenacity from him and from me they received the same message, but with empathy, compassion and exhortation and as a team, God did great things through us.

What a great atmosphere to set. I was a Pastor's secretary for years and I can see how doing that would have been such a good witness for every marriage in that church. Just the daily visibility of "a three strand cord not easily broken"! I think sometimes the Pastorate sells short the sacrament of "marriage", it is not visible enough, the unity of the Pastor and His Wife, the flowing together of the giftedness of the two. Like you said the church usually assigns the pastor's wife things that take her out of sharing in the Sunday ministry. Things that lay leadership should and could do.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Spiritual fathers and mothers are necessary for growing disciples of Jesus. These are mature believers who have experienced bumps, bruises and brokenness over their lifetime of following the Lord. They know what it means to enjoy God's grace and peace, and they know how to give Him the glory in their success. These seasoned saints don't pretend to know it all; on the contrary, they are diligent students in the school of faith.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>.Wise are we to be on the look out for older friends who are worthy to follow. Their humble heart attracts our heart and their keen mind challenges our thinking. <strong><em>It is out of our mentor's engagement with Jesus that they are able to parent us in the faith.</em></strong> Avoid a self-proclaimed sage, seek instead a servant of the gospel. We only imitate those who first imitate Christ. Who do I follow that will make me wiser tomorrow?

Be on the look out for inspiration and creativity in growing your intimacy with Christ. Ask your spiritual parent what they read and how they hold themselves accountable to God's standards as defined in Holy Scripture. You become what you read and you become like those you are with. Gaining wisdom is not accidental, it's intentional.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>If you want to grow in your prayer life, pray with people who know how to pray. If you want to grow in your Bible knowledge, study with those who know how to rightly interpret the word of truth. If you want to become a humble servant of Jesus, serve with those who quietly serve others in Jesus' name. If you want to learn contentment as a single adult, hang out with single adults who are content in Christ. If you want to become the best in your vocation, be with those who are the best in your vocation.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Above all else, make it your number one priority to first imitate Christ. As you grow in your love and obedience to the Lord, others will see that you are worthy of following. Embrace this privilege as an opportunity to give back what other generous souls have so freely given you. When you become a spiritual parent to newly born babes in Christ, you are accountable to parent them well. Indeed, you imitate Jesus and they imitate you!

It is so hard to wrap our finite minds around an Infinite and Sovereign Will of God. It is hard to understand suffering and it hurts so much to see those we love suffer and grow through things in which we would love to take their place, because we love them so. Kind of like the Father God must have felt when He sent His Son Jesus to die for us. My finite mind can't wrap around that one either. I pray God's healing for Megan and I hope His peace wraps around your soul Marie! I do know this and I can wrap my mind around this: Jesus loves you and Megan, He is with you and even though His Sovereign Will is hard to swallow at times, His Infinite Love is a part of that package. The Sovereign Will of God is never without His Infinite love and if His Will seems hard to adapt to, His Infinite love is right there and we can cling to it, we can dig our roots deeply in it. The Sovereign Will of God is active in our now, it is what we live, breathe and have our being in right now, yet the Infinite Love of Jesus, it adds another dimension of HOPE and points us to our great future and helps us settle our souls in the now with the hope of our future in God's Kingdom.

</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Strife is one of the main weapons the enemy uses against Christians. I believe there are three things that open us up to a spirit of strife.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>1. Our lips: Wrong words spoken at the wrong time can certainly start a firestorm. The more wrong words we pour on the fire, the bigger it gets. One way to stop a fire is to remove the fuel.<br/>2. Our pride: Although wrong words may open us up to strife, it is a proud heart that refuses to be quiet in order to have peace. Pride demands that we have the last word, but the Word says it will lead to destruction (see Proverbs 16:18).<br/>3. Our opinions: We can often get into strife by trying to convince others of our own opinions. When we realize we have much to learn and stop passing out our opinions, we will begin to gain the knowledge we need.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>These are the three biggest areas that Satan uses to infiltrate our lives with strife. Make a decision to honor God and others by resisting strife and instead pursuing unity and understanding.

</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>When life or people disappoint us, we have a responsibility to remain stable and continue with God's purpose for our lives.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Consider Psalm 94:12-13. Notice that it does not say that God keeps us calm. It says He gives us power to keep ourselves calm. We are partners with God. His part is to give us ability and our part is to be responsible.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><strong><em>Responsibility means 'to respond to the ability we have.' An irresponsible person wants God to do everything while he does nothing except follow his feelings.</em></strong> But don't let your feelings run the show. Declare out loud right now, "I have attended my last pity party." I can promise you: in the end you will feel much better about yourself if you take responsibility than if you avoid it.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God cares for you, but He won't do your part. He enables you to do it, but let me emphasize that He won't do it for you! I dare you to stand firm, take responsibility and begin working with God to have the blessed life He's planned for you.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Prayer Starter: God, Your Word says that You've given me the ability to remain calm. I receive that today. I won't let my feelings run my life, and I will be responsible and respond the way You want me to.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>What an amazing bunch of wisdom in this teaching! Respond to the ability I do have and don't follow my feelings. I so need to do this. Especially when it comes to my book. I have a lot of work to do, I know God will equip me, I just need to jump in, work hard and get it done. I have to stop letting my age, my lack of knowledge stop me, I need to get the knowledge I need and stop giving in to the thoughts that I am too old. I need to take responsibility for that which God has called me to and equipped me for!

Spirituality doesn't mean having no feelings. Yeshua wept and rejoiced; Paul wrote openly about his feelings of despair as well as his confidence. King David danced for joy and admitted grief when he sinned. The fruit of the spirit includes joy. It is a gift from God. Why not show it?

</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:13pt'><strong>Here are 4 words of advice for the newbie leader:
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Never use the word "newbie" again. (Just kidding. That's not one of the four. But, seriously, is there a better word).
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:13pt'><strong>The real 4:
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Learn the people first -</strong> Relational leadership is always most effective, but especially for a new leader. They need to learn to trust you. They need an opportunity to feel you are committed and connected to them. They want assurance you have the best interest at heart for them and the church or organization they've loved probably longer than you have.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Go slow to change</strong> – The older the church or organization, the more important it will be that you take time to implement change. Know the key players, communicate, communicate, communicate, and help people understand why the change is needed. All change is resisted, but fast change is most powerfully rejected. This doesn't mean don't change. Most likely they'll expect and even want some change, but be smart about it. Listen and learn the things you can change immediately and things where you'll need to move more slowly. That process takes time to do well.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Think intentionally in all you do</strong> – The more you can strategically plan your moves, the more you can help steer them to a positive outcome. In every area of your leadership, take time to think through the best way to handle the situation. Get input from key people. Plan your approach. Prioritize. Strategize. You'll have plenty of surprises along the way, but if you're intentional in the decisions you have control over, you'll be better prepared to handle the unexpected.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Pace your leadership for the long-term</strong> – You won't often know the length of your tenure as leader, but you should script yourself to be there for the long haul. That means you shouldn't try to accomplish everything in the beginning. Spread some of your enthusiasm and energy over the first year or more. It will keep momentum going longer, keep you from burning out and the church or organization from wearing out. Also, think for the church or organization beyond even you. How can things keep building, healthy, vibrant and growing for the years ahead? When you set worthy visions and goals that carry people forward, help them dream and give them hope, they will want to follow your leadership.

</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Your Three Best Weapons
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Through careful strategy and cunning deceit, Satan attempts to wage war against you and keep you in a mindset of defeat. But God has given you spiritual weapons to use against him. Here are the main three spiritual weapons you can use to fight off the enemy:
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>1. God's Word: Receive it through preaching, teaching, reading and private Bible study. Continue in the Word until it becomes revelation given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>2. Praise: This defeats the devil faster and more efficiently than any other battle plan, but it must be genuine heart-praise, not just lip service or a religious ritual.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>3. Prayer: Prayer is relationship with the Godhead. It is communication with God, asking Him for help or talking with Him about whatever is on your heart. To have an effective prayer life, we must develop an intimate, personal relationship with the Father. Know that He loves you and that He wants to help you.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>There is a war going on, but God is fighting on your side and has given you the weapons you need. Use them to send Satan running! Lord, thank You so much for giving me the spiritual weapons I need to fight my enemy. With Your help, I know that I can win the battle today! Quote By Joyce Meyer

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Interesting Spiritual Analogy! My truck broke down, just stopped being able to go forward! We all assumed it was the fuel pump because that was the logical conclusion! BUT it was not! It was a corrosion on the wiring harness that causes a misfiring to the fuel pump! I have to admit, I can relate to my truck! The world tends to corrode my inner wiring and causes a misfiring to my passion, my call to being God's 1<sup>st</sup> to being called to HIM alone and therefore I stop "growing" forward. I can get all pumped up emotionally about something, but the culture I run in causes corroded wiring and I misfire and end up growing no where but down hill fast. I learned a lesson from my truck of all things… it is important to keep my heart clean, purified from cultural smut… fasting is a good thing if I want to keep "growing forward"! AWE-GOD!

</strong></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Dead heroes are the most dependable, because they are in a position where they cannot mess up. Their legacy had been sealed in death and now they speak from the influence they left behind. Dead heroes inspire with their memory of love, wisdom and perseverance. They have stood the test of time having stood with courage in the face of adverse conditions, even to the point of death. Dead heroes bring love and faith to life.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>We think about Abraham and our faith is energized. We mull on Moses and humility grips our heart. We read about David and come away with courage and the conviction to be accountable. Solomon soaks our minds with wisdom and Hannah moves our hearts to pray. Naomi inspires encouragement and Ruth instills obedience. These heroes of the faith facilitate faithfulness to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Heroes arouse hope.

Who do you look to as an example of love and obedience to God? Your heroes shape your soul—they inspire your spirit—and they mold your mind. What about Paul who gave up religious snobbery and elitism in exchange for becoming a bondservant of Jesus Christ? His intelligence and Holy Spirit inspired insight into Scripture and the human psyche requires a lifetime of study. He is a hero worth understanding and emulating. Raise your bar of admiration for the saints of old.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Certainly we are wise to avoid hero worship, this is worse than following the wrong example—it is idolatry. Jesus Christ alone is your object of affection, adoration and praise. He is your hero of heroes. Ultimately, all roads of respect merge back to the throne of our trusted savior, King Jesus. His example inspires you to endure in doing what's right and His Spirit empowers you in service for Him. Jesus is your hero who was momentarily dead, but is now alive in you. Look to heroes who give you life in Christ!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Kimberly, have mercy on me!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Jonah 4:1-5 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry. So he prayed to the LORD, and said, "Ah, LORD, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You [are] a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm. "Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for [it is] better for me to die than to live!" Then the LORD said, "[Is it] right for you to be angry?" So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>We continue looking at Jonah, and find him in Chapter 4 displeased with God's mercy toward Nivevah. The Assyrians were arch-enemies of Israel and among the cruelest nations in history. Instead of being elated that God spared 120,000 Ninevites Jonah preferred to see his own pronouncement of judgment executed by the Lord. "Let those Assyrians get what's coming to them – they deserve to go to hell without any mercy for how they've treated Israel!" The Hebrew word "charah", " to be hot, furious, burn, become angry, be kindled" is a very strong expression for Jonah's feelings as he leaves the city of Nineveh and sets up a shelter to watch what will happen – he seems to be hoping that God might change His mind and destroy Nineveh anyway.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Have you ever felt this way? Someone has really hurt you; really done evil to you more than once – you knew from God's point of view he was "begging for a bolt" (of lightening), and you wished judgment would rain upon him. The last thing you want to do is warn him to stop; you want justice, not mercy; maybe even............revenge! Would you have the courage to admit that? To be really honest with God? Tell Him how disappointed you are that your tormentor hasn't been hit by a truck or developed a brain malignancy?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Jonah's honesty is commendable. How many of us would try to hide feelings like that, even from ourselves? "Please take my life." Jonah says. But the Lord understands. Instead of condemning Jonah for his merciless attitude He tries to reason with His prophet. "`Is doing good displeasing to thee?' He asks Jonah. Then Jonah's misery is compounded when the plant God gives him for shade withers and dies. Depressed and angry, Jonah reveals the depth of depravity in human nature. ""It is right for me to be angry, even to death!" he pines. He cannot find joy in the mercy of God.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Kimberly, I shudder to think of what would happen to me if I received God's justice for my sins. I would not want to wish His punishment even on my worst enemies. Perhaps Jonah didn't realize that his own attitude was displeasing to God and also deserved His judgment. I'm so thankful for God's mercy to us. We should bless our enemies and pray for those who despitefully use us; we should overcome evil with good. Mercy triumphs over judgment. The Lord gives us the power to be like Him. He did it by dying on the cross and rising from the dead, after three days. Jonah was a sign of this, remember?

God's Justice spans from here to there unto forever. My "justice" my making things right by my way, it only hurts me and it has no effect on eternity. When I try to make things "fair" it usually detracts and detains me from the mission God had for me and takes me off on bunny trails where I usually end up very wounded. My justice and making things right my way… it dead ends here. Over the years of having a relationship with God, I have learned that God is a God of Justice. He will set things right in His Own Way, Own Time, but HE WILL DO IT… it may not be this side of heaven, but no doubt about it, God will make things right, He will judge and bring Justice to everyone and in every situation you have faced… there will be God Justice… eventually all is God Good!

The re-stream will be online tonight at 7:00 p.m. It's worth hearing, or hearing again. It's worth responding to? How does one respond to a good message? Is it in one ear and out the other? Do we actually make a change in our life habits when we listen to a good challenge? Greear says: "There are two ways to try to bring about change.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>• External change–
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>• The other way is organic change. Internal change.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Through careful strategy and cunning deceit, Satan attempts to wage war against you and keep you in a mindset of defeat. But God has given you spiritual weapons to use against him. Here are the main three spiritual weapons you can use to fight off the enemy:
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> 1. God's Word: Receive it through preaching, teaching, reading and private Bible study. Continue in the Word until it becomes revelation given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> 2. Praise: This defeats the devil faster and more efficiently than any other battle plan, but it must be genuine heart-praise, not just lip service or a religious ritual.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> 3. Prayer: Prayer is relationship with the Godhead. It is communication with God, asking Him for help or talking with Him about whatever is on your heart. To have an effective prayer life, we must develop an intimate, personal relationship with the Father. Know that He loves you and that He wants to help you.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> There is a war going on, but God is fighting on your side and has given you the weapons you need. Use them to send Satan running!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Prayer Starter: Lord, thank You so much for giving me the spiritual weapons I need to fight my enemy. With Your help, I know that I can win the battle today!

</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:13pt'><strong>Here are 5 ways to help people perceive you are authentic:
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Dress your age</strong> – This is a biggie for me and my goal these days. I'm 48. There are some "cool" styles that aren't cool for 48 year olds. Knowing the difference is huge. Each season of life seems to have it's own style. Dress within yours. If you aren't sure, ask some people around you whom you trust. (Again, my boys help me.)
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Admit your mistakes</strong> – Take responsibility for the things you've done wrong or when a project that goes wrong was your idea. Own up to your bad decisions. If you pass blame or refuse to own up to a problem you'll be perceived as a weak and pretend leader.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Be honest</strong> – Don't exaggerate who you are, your position, influence, or knowledge. Don't pretend your church or organization is bigger than it really is. Tell the truth about you and the organization you lead. People can usually spot a phony and dismiss your influence in their life.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Don't try to impress others</strong> – The harder you try the less they seem to be impressed. Be yourself, not who you wish you were. You do the best you of anyone.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Be a good listener</strong> – Be slower to speak. Don't always have the answer. Even when you do, sometimes back off and let someone else take the lead. You show people you're real if you act like they are…and that it is worth hearing what they have to say.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:red'>What else would you add?</span>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Great post! I agree, even though I seem to have my own "personal style" the basic form of it fits my age. Be-LAME! Is a great way I remember not to blame. Exaggeration is something that dominated my past life and God worked hard to get that out of my life. I have to guard against it. The more God controls the all of me, the less I need to impress others. Still working on the being a good listener one, that is a work in progress for me! I trip over my design, God made me wordy so listening is the side of my giftedness that needs to be continually worked on.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I would add be careful with "nostalgia". It is good to look back, but sometimes "nostalgia" becomes a shiny trophy we are constantly drawing attention too. Because God is always doing a "new thing" this is where the genuine of your life will shine. If you get stuck in the nostalgia of the past, it is kind of makes your genuine life look like a flat paint that does not reflect LIGHT. Me I prefer a life of genuine glory glow, which looks like a coat of enamel paint. Is your authentic flat or enamel?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Procrastination!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>#1 Challenge in life! We know what to do, we just don't do it. The gap between knowing and learning is a big one. Heart knowledge, the heart to begin, I am going to begin. Who motivates me? Without initiate, nothing ever happens. All is well that begins well. When we procrastinate, success never comes our way.

So what are you waiting on? Love your ASSIGNMENT and trust yourself to push and go after it. If the love is not there, then be willing to be honest enough to go find where it is. In the end, it is the love for what you do that ultimately, drives the doing. So let's get to work and stay on task. PROCRASTINATION is simply a dead end. No growth. No fruit. No results. Instead, Be contagious. Let the passion of who you truly are, drive out the fear, the doubts and PROCRASTINATION today. You already know what to do. Now let's go do it!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>PROCRASTINATION -is the number One killer of DREAMS and you reaching your potential! I would say that in America it has reached epidemic proportions..... most people fall to deal with what is important... they procrastinate because the chance the urgent and the easy.... it is not that we are not doing things.... most are doing way too much! It is we are not focused or doing what is important in our personal lives, career, finances, relationships, mate, children, friends... etc. So DO NOT think that you are not procrastinating because you are doing a lot of things.....make sure you are doing the IMPORTANT things! So get up and get going on doing the important things! You will be amazed at the impact!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Live in the consciousness of the fact that PROCRASTINATION is a killer agent that is very determined to rip you off your time and in other words, your life. The world is a battle ground between good and evil. So it is your time to kill this agent called procrastination before it kills you and leaves you with no other choice than to force you kiss regrets.<br/>WOW! I can just hear you say: That is not my portion! I agree with you on that one! That can NEVER be your portion because you are stronger than procrastination and you possess all the strength you need to shake it off.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:22pt'><span style='color:red; text-decoration:underline'>My<strong> Thoughts About This </strong></span>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I am praying for unity, unconditional love and peace in our family circles and if I have hurt you in any way over the years, I apologize and ask for your forgiveness. I know I am different! I have a unique GOD-calling on my life. If you don't want to be in a relationship with me, if you don't want to love me unconditionally, I am okay with that.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> If you are in a relationship with me because of the call on my life to be an exhorter for God, one who speaks truth always, you know that I will always speak the truth to you and I will know when you are not speaking the fullness of truth to me.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Discernment and Exhortation are the gifts God has given me to love and encourage people with. It is the way it is and has always been since I came to know Christ, 35 years ago and gave my life to HIM, He has consistently used me in this way. I accept the way God has shaped me and I submissively walk in it to the best of my human ability. Have I messed up at times, yes! But I continue to move forward, learning and growing and hoping to live truly, walk truly, deal truly and love truly. This is me! And if you dared to admit it, you too have messed up in your relationships from time to time, but your desire is to love the best way you can in that special way God has gifted you to do so.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> The time on earth is short, the time in heaven is forever long and if you don't want the "GOD-Drama" that the fullness of truth brings into your life, then shun me from your life and unfollow me from facebook and look forward to a relationship with me in heaven where all things, all families and all people ARE PERFECT! Because here on earth there is no one who is perfect. No one and no family.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Of course I would prefer you to choose the best choice and that is to have a relationship that includes both worlds here and there! To love me unconditionally the way God made me just as I do you. Just as you do other people!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> I don't need any emails telling me why you dislike me so much and how I have made your life miserable all these years because of the "giftedness of God" that I have for truth and discernment. I already know how hard it is to be chosen by God to be His "exhorter", and speak the truth, yet I still make the choice to obey HIM every time He asks! I know how hard and costly it is to be called to always speak and stand for the fullness of truth in a world that is so white-washed in rationalization and where truth spins itself out in the dank cultural perspective of the human condition. Truth! I live it and I choose the narrow path because that is what God has asked of me, personally. It is me and God's personal thing, something He has called me too, something I obey Him in. I hope to live truly, speak truly and love truly from every moment to every choice! Big Goal- BIG GOD!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> I love God with all my heart and want to serve HIM from every moment to every choice. I don't drink, I don't do drugs, I don't read smutty books, I don't watch "R" Rated movies, I don't watch much TV at all, I don't go to bars, I take care of myself and discipline my eating and exercise habits, I am careful with where I go, who I hang with and what I see and hear and I protect my reputation… why? Not because I want to at times, I am just as human as everyone else, I get tempted and enticed every single day and when I get cut, I bleed! I do the things I do in my life because GOD has asked me to and I love HIM and I obey HIM out of that love! Today, I don't judge people by the perspective of what God has called me too, though in the beginning of my walk with God, I did. But as I matured in my walk with God, I have grown and learned to speak the truth that God asks me to speak and to speak it in love, not judgment.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> So I ask you to respectfully just keep your comments to yourself about how hard it is to live with me, because I already know how hard it is, because it is hard for me to be Who God has called me to be, so I can imagine how hard it is for you to be in relationship with me. If you are angry with me because of Who and Whose I am, then be respectful-civil and honor God with your reaction, that is all I ask. I have spoken and written some things over the years that would make your hair stand on end, but this is Who GOD has created me and shaped me over the years to be and I accept it. I will be The Bridegroom's Voice! I will speak the TRUTH.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> If who I am bothers you, if you don't want to be in relationship with me, it is okay, just move on without me, and enjoy your life and I will talk with you in heaven, where all things are revealed and the true heart motive of every matter seen. You can't hurt me by shunning me and unfollowing me on facebook, it is okay, I understand because the One thing that gives me inner peace every single day is GOD KNOWS ALL THINGS FULLY! GOD KNOWS ME, I am in a personal relationship with HIM and He knows what He has asked of me personally and He knows more than my actions and thoughts, He knows the motives of my heart and He knows exactly what He has asked me to say and do and my reason and purpose behind it all is HIM! I am called to God 1<sup>st</sup>!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> I have no personal agenda and no hidden motives from God, I am ALL-IN with HIM, this imperfect and flawed human being and I will do and say whatever He asks me to, no matter what the cost. He is MINE and I am HIS! Period! When I step out of Holy Alignment with HIM and step out in the flesh, believe me, He lets me know and yes it does hurt! Over the years, I have learned to do everything possible to stay in a Holy Alliance with God, because I want to out of My love for HIM. I want to be close to HIM… always!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> I love and constantly sacrifice for and encourage the family and extended family and friends God has given me, I will always put you first because JOY to me is lived this way: Jesus 1st-Others 2nd-Yourself last. I want to be in relationship with you, but if WHOSE and WHO I am is too much "God-Drama" for you to handle, then it is okay, I understand if you don't want to be in relationship with me. I won't chase after someone who does not want to be caught. It exhausts me and I rather use up all my energy doing what God has called me too. I will just let go and let God and pray, because HE KNOWS! God's Got This! God bless you! Always hoping huge in God and loving the same, KimberlyMac

</span></p><p style='text-align: center'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>No More Devil Drama!
</span></p><p style='text-align: center'>
</p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> All my life, through every trial, temptation and distress, I have eventually chosen, You Lord God. Even when I did not know You and knew of You, I chose Your Way as the best way. When I did not know God personally but knew of Him, I worked hard at being good, mustering up the will to do what was right in every situation I faced. I learned this from my parents, who lived truly with us and spoke the truth always in our family life and loved us with a passion of self sacrifice always…
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> I worked hard for nine years of my young life, spent all that time in school and in the gymnasium, training as a gymnast and competing. I learned the value of discipline and hard work at a very young age through this sport. Because my parents dealt in truth and civility with everyone and modeled truth in every situation, it gave me confidence to do the same. I grew up in an atmosphere of truth. In my young age, confronted with the temptations of lying, stealing, drugs, alcohol, sex I said no and stood apart from others. I endured and grew through a sports accident that took away the ability to do the sport I had given 9 years of my life to. I did not give in to the despair that brought, I grew through it because of the support and love of my parents. The life I had known was gone and as I entered into my senior year unable to participate in the sports that had defined my success, that I had been a part of all my young life, I could confidently readjust and move towards a new career and continue in my integrity and hard work ethic to rise really high in a banking career at a young age because of the truth and love embedded in my life by my parents and my home. All my success as a young person was because of the courageous atmosphere of truth and love and the boundaries that firmly stayed up in my home life as I grew up. When the drugs were passed around at the parties, I passed it right by without partaking, when the boyfriends wanted to have sex, I said no and was able to say truthfully, I am waiting for marriage, to give my husband the gift of my virginity. When confronted to lie and cheat and take the easy road of life, I said no. Why? Because my parents dealt truthfully with me, established Godliness and obedience in me at a young age.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> We did not have the family drama that deceit brought into the mix, we had an atmosphere where every opinion was valuable and met with truth and love. There was never deceit or deceiving people, our family faced front with who we were, never hiding from others the truth. The women in my family were strong women, we faced our fears and ended up fearing nothing, able to shake off life's fears and we faced life as it came with confidence in who we were as we stood in truth. We knew of God, His Ways, but we knew nothing of having a relationship with God, we were religious people, who faced life with truth, dealing truly and living truly with others. I am thankful for having a religion, it kept me on the right path, because I decided that was what I wanted for me. I want to be and I was a person of integrity and truth.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Truth is all I have known my entire life. My grandfather, My mother and my father were a models of truth, civility and integrity. My dad was my hero and so was my grandfather, they both championed a life of truth, integrity and civility. They served their family, their country, their community in truth and love. I know no other way, nor have walked in no other way. If you ask me something even to this day, I will tell you the truth. I am very sensitive to deceit and people who are deceiving me and playing me for their personal gain, or because they don't want to hear the truth. Relationship to me, means truth, dealing truly, living truly and speaking truly. You are not in a real relationship that will stand the tests of time if you are not in a truthful one. Truth is the foundation of every real relationship, without truth, you don't have a real relationship. Truth brings great freedom in a family to grow and become all God has designed for you. If you do not treat me with truth, if you play me with deceit, I feel devalued and disrespected by you, because truth to me is a valuable treasure to give and receive and you give truth to those you love and want a real relationship with, you deceive those you do not want a relationship with.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> As a young adult, I stepped into the world of business and climbed very high with my own ability, I made it to the top at a young age, because of the work ethic and integrity instilled within me as a child, and the ability I had to confidently deal truly with people, yet I still felt I was missing something. I had everything anyone my age could want and I still was restless and empty inside. I had respect, honor, integrity, a great job, a great home life, cars and lots of fun things of this world. I had friends, I indulged in the fun things of my world but not to an excess, I stayed within the limits of my religion and the law, because that was who I was, but I still felt empty inside. I went from boyfriend to boyfriend because I would not have sex with them, I was determined to wait and eventually that ended things because they were not the right one for me if they could not wait.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> One day I met the right one, I was introduced to Jesus Christ and I accepted HIM as my Lord and Savior, and the man Who introduced me to Jesus, who pointed me to the truth that no matter how good, how much integrity I had chosen to have, that without Jesus Christ, I truly had nothing that would last, without Jesus Christ, I did not have eternity. This man pointed me to Jesus and showed me that no matter how hard I worked to being a person of truth, a person of integrity, a person of civility, a person of respect for the law and religion, a person of business savvy, I did not have what mattered most, I did not have an eternal destiny. This man who led me to Jesus Christ, the Father God, had also shaped me all those years to be His wife and the mother of His children. This was my destiny. I was chosen and prepared by God for them, they were chosen by God for me and the family He would create. My husband was the one God had for me and He was the one I waited for all those years. We became a "three strand cord" that was not easily broken. Jesus, Bob And Kim. It has been this way for 34 years now, the three of us and God added three more to make our family and then later on He added more foster children to us that were not our blood, but His blood family! Because I was strong in my own strength and disciplined in my own way, I struggled as I grew in Christ and learned of God's way of letting Him lead, of giving way to His strength, His perfect timing and learning to give Him time to work and build my faith, knowing without a doubt "God's Got This". He showed me just how incredibly he could handle the things in life that were intended to steal from me and the tragedy of my Great Aunt, murdering both my great grandparents, that I had faced as a young child, that brought me so much pain and anxiety through my whole life up until that point of meeting with the Healer, My amazing God who took that tragedy and transfigured it, healed my soul and made it a great testimony of His glory in me. I raised my children to know of this AWE-God, Who I had learn to know and love and cling to in a personal way and I taught them to praise Him, know Him personally and to walk in respect for His truth and His Way. My husband and I taught them and modeled to them the truth and love of Jesus Christ in the way we lived out truth and loved God and served His truth in our family life, our church and our community. We have lost money, worldly titles, got fired from jobs, lost friends and family members all because of our commitment to be people of God's truth and integrity. I am still tempted and tried in so many ways, broken hearted by this life and brought to the brink of life ending despair, BUT GOD, He has consistently been the choice I have made as I have face this life courageously and triumphantly in HIM. I am here today because HE has been with me in Spirit and Truth and in the pit of my despair at different times of this life, offered me a way out, His Way, His Truth. I took it and I know the value and power of His Truth and His Way and I hope never to depart from it, I hope always to make the right choice the 1<sup>st</sup> time. I know about His Grace, but I also know His Grace does not erase our consequences. I would rather walk in truth the 1<sup>st</sup> time than face the consequences of dealing deceitfully.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> My husband and I always dealt truthfully with our children and as they entered into their teen years in a world gone awry, a world that wanted to steal their innocence and kill their future. The world is so enticing to teen agers whose hormones fill them with desires they are not ready to fulfill and make them feel invincible to the consequences of wrong choices. Our teens wanted to stray into that world, they naturally wanted what the world offered and we put up strong family boundaries of God's truth and love that were meant to guard and confine them with truth until they were able to make choices founded in God's Truth and out of a personal relationship with HIM. Deceit was the way they could escape those boundaries set up to protect them. Whenever God showed us that they were deceiving us, we confronted them with truth, whenever and however they strayed, we pointed them to Jesus, His Way, His Life And His Truth and we embraced them with love, grace and forgiveness as God was shaping their will. We gave them consequences so they would know that bad choices equals not so fun consequences. We taught them the truth that the degree of freedom they were given always matched the degree of responsibility they had to walk in.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> God gave us three children and many foster children that we raised all with integrity, truth and love and we have no regrets that we stood for truth in every situation we faced with them, that we confronted them if they moved away from God, and if they deceived us to go their own way, we continued to deal truly with them, with integrity, love and hope in God. If they strayed as young adults, making their own decisions, went their own way and got beat up by the world, we were there with God's forgiveness and grace to embrace them, point them back to Jesus, His Way, His Truth, His Life and do what it took to help them heal, pick up the broken pieces, help them "grow through" the consequences and once again move on and live in God's Way, Truth and Life.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> This is a relationship between my husband and I since the day we met on this earth, has always been devoted to God and His truth and from the day we committed ourselves before God in the sacrament of marriage, we have walked in His Truth and Love, spoke it and lived it and served God 1st, even if it meant confronting lies and stepping into the family drama deceit causes, we would rather obey God and walk in truth and have the "drama" that happens when truth confronts deception, than disobey God, and not have His power and favor in our lives. Some people look at speaking the truth and confronting deception, lies and rationalization as "drama" because they don't want to hear the truth that breaks apart their rationalization and shines a light on their deception. So yes, if you do not deal truly with us, if you lie, if you play us, if you deceive us, we will confront it, we will not play along and if this is your description of "drama" then you will get a full drama, complete with the fullness of God's truth, love and conviction of the Holy Spirit.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> The point about being people of truth and integrity, of dealing truly, living truly and speaking truly is that "God Knows" and we don't have to prove anything, the burden is on the Omnipresence of God. God Knows Your Deception! Family drama is created when people don't deal truthfully with each other, when you specifically plan to deceive someone, that creates drama, because when you invite the master deceiver into a situation, the enemy of all our souls, when you open the door through any kind of deceit to satan, there is drama and conflict. Where there is deceit in a relationship there is always devil drama! So if you don't like family "drama" then don't open the door to deceit, because where there is deceit and it clashes with truth, there is always drama and truth always stands the test of time and you who bring the deceit in, you lose God's Favor. Why? Because God Knows! God supports truth. So if you are sick and tired of family "drama" then deal truly in the fullness of God's Truth with those you are in relationship with and you will find there is no room for "devil drama" when truth reigns.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> In our family relationships, the only time there is "drama" is when someone brings in deceit, because we are confronters of it, we don't let deceit in our family and deceit, deceiving, rationalizations, white lies and playing others, whatever form it takes is always confronted with truth. If you look closely at your relationships that have a "wedge" between them, you will see it has a title and it is called "deceit". When you deceitfully hold someone at an "arms length" and don't get close to them, if you look closely that is because you are not being real, you are not truthful and you can't take your darkness close enough to embrace the Light of Truth in them that will expose your deceit. Be Who you are and stop playing games with your family members and the drama stops, because the door opened by deceit is closed.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Deceit comes in and creates drama in a family when conversation flows and opinions are offered and you go along with that opinion like you agree with it, when you don't, then deceit comes in and creates all kinds of drama! You are misrepresenting yourself and this is a lie and the enemy comes in and creates drama. Opinions flow through every family in every way, style and through many different God shaped personalities. God created us for conversation! We communicate our opinions through our personal perspective and experiences. In a given week, we communicate thousands of these opinions in our relationships and when they are tossed around truthfully from one person to another, there is no family drama, just a good hearty, truthful conversation that builds the family unit in trust and love. There is no disagreement when you truthfully agree to disagree. But when you deceitfully agree to avoid a disagreement, you end up with drama. When one person in a family "plays" another person's opinion with deception, not speaking how they truly feel, the enemy is invited in and he creates "family drama" out of his favorite door opening of deception!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> If you are saying one thing to one person in your family, and acting differently with another person in your family, the wedge you create between you can't be blamed on the disagreement, it has a label, it is deceit. The wedges in your relationship with others is your own deceit. Our children can be assured, that we will deal truly with you, speak truly with you and live truly with you and family life will not have a lot of drama to it when you walk in truth with us. If you as an adult child want to live your life in a direction that the opinion of your parents does not agree with, then do it and do it openly, not behind their backs, deceiving them and insulting their intelligence by playing along with them to their face, saying what they want to hear and hiding something completely different behind their backs. You can create a beautiful play and present it with the intention to connive the real truth, a masterpiece of sorts, but truth always pokes holes in deceptions rationalizations and the truth always shines forth to those who walk in it.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> If you don't like family drama, then don't walk in deceit and play other people, because truth has a way of breaking through with such power, that drama will seem like a small thing compared to when God shines His truth on your deception. God always makes a way, like a picture snapped at the concert of life speaks a thousand words about deceiving someone, because it cannot lie! So if you are complaining about the level of "drama" in your family life, try looking in your own heart and ask yourself this: Did I open the door with ANY kind of deceit in my relationship with others in my family? Am I being completely truthful with them, or am I hiding how I truly feel from them? Am I conniving to hide from them things? Am I pretending I am in one place when truly I am not there, where I said I was, and I am pretending about where I am? Do I tell one side of my family one thing and the other side of my family another thing? Am I conniving to hide something from someone because I am afraid if they find out and they won't agree with me? If so the drama created by not walking in the fullness of truth, the drama created by deception, the drama I can't stand that I keep finding myself standing in, will end when I tell the truth, when I deal truly with others and live in the fullness of God's truth, the curtain call of the enemies drama will be closed. Deception Destroys Families Keeping Them In Devil Drama! Truth Sets Us Free To Live And Grow In God's Unity And Favor!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> You are only afraid of someone else's opinion, if you are hiding something in deception. Deception feeds fear and destroys personal confidence. There is never a time in family life where truth does not work. If you are walking in truth, not deceiving or playing others, then opinions flow freely and lovingly and are uninhibited by the devils drama. If you have a lot of family drama with one side of your family, it isn't about that side of the family, as much as it is about deceit that brings in the devil drama every time. If you have a lot of drama with one side of your family, it is because you are not dealing with them truthfully. Deal truly with your family members and there will be no devil drama, because your deception is what brings into the family all the devil drama! We always have and have had good and healthy family relationships when truth is present in its fullness. Deception brings in dysfunction! And deception is always the vehicle to hide dysfunction! Deception is meant to keep us from "growing through" life's situations. Deception even rationalizes that speaking the truth is hurtful to others. The truth does hurt at times, but it is never "hurtful" it is always helpful and best for you. It is within the bounds of our finite beings that are encased in "human condition" that the Infinite Sovereign Will of God, makes us face life truthfully and "grow through" it. God's Sovereign Will, feels hurtful to us at times, yet in all good God purpose it is very helpful. God's Sovereign Will is hard to swallow at times, His truth in our reality does hurt in His helpful way that shapes us for our future. The greatest truth about His Sovereign Will is that it is never absent from His Infinite Love, they go hand in hand. Truth hurts at times, but love is always the motive. Truth might hurt, but it is never "hurtful" always helpful in the end, unless you are walking in deceit, because in order to hold up your deceit, truth does hurt and it hurts and hurts and hurts until you let go of the deceit and embrace the truth and then truth heals and becomes your help and growth.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> When people in our family connive to play us, deceive us in any way, you can be assured that the door that is left ajar to the family, the enemy will slither in and create his family devil drama. Don't like drama, drama, drama, then look in your own heart and get rid of deceit, rationalization, conniving and you won't have drama! Truth is the best act in the play of family life and it always gets a curtain call from God from here to there unto forever! Truth sets your family free of devil drama, closes the door on it and makes a way for a family to live in unity and the peace and favor of AWE-GOD! Choose The Fullness Of Truth Always! It Matters! Deception Destroys – Truth Brings Life!

He admires Timothy for being a "team player" who is 1<sup>st</sup> serving the interests of others, placing a high value on what God has called them too. He talks about Timothy like he is a servant leader with a "team heart" that puts a high value on the plans of others and highly respects-esteems what God has called them too, even above his own God given tasks. Pretty cool example these forefathers have left for us to live like!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The seven initiatives of focus are:
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Impressions – We need to consider how we present ourselves to visitors. From the moment a person thinks "church" for the first time, until they are no longer considered a visitor, what impression are we making with them?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Intergenerational – We are a multi-generational church, but we need to move toward intergenerational ministry. We need young people learning from older people. We need older people learning from younger people. We need to do life together with all ages. We have much to offer each other.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Discipleship – We need to figure out how best to help people be more like Jesus. This is obviously the goal of every church, but I want us to consider how to do it with more intentionality than ever before.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Stewardship – God has blessed Immanuel with tremendous resources. Our facilities, our location, and our people are incredible assets. We need to find ways to use what God has given us even more for the glory of God.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>College – Our 22 acre campus is located footsteps away from the University of Kentucky and other local colleges and universities. To not be actively investing in the tens of thousands of students in our vicinity would seem to be a sin. (He who knows the good he ought to do…). We have a mission field in our backyard that can literally play a part in changing the world.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Prayer – Immanuel is a praying church, but I've never known anyone who was felt they were praying enough. I want my ministry here to be rooted in prayer. I want to see God do things which could only be done by God's intervention. Let God's people pray!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Missions/Community Investment – I believe a healthy church is a going church. We need to leave the comfort of our Sunday seats and hit the streets of Lexington. We are going to explore the options available to us to partner with existing ministries in our community. We are exploring options to be involved around the world. We want to be known as a church on the move in missions, making a huge impact in our community.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>With each of these initiatives I've formed (or am forming) an initiative team with the intent of exploring ways Immanuel can grow in each of these areas. These teams will have a volunteer leader. Several will have appropriate staff members assigned to them. I will not be "doing" this work, but available to help them as needed. One key to this working is it gets more people involved in the process and builds energy as they explore new ideas.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>To aid in brainstorming, I'm challenging the teams leading each of these to think in terms of:
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Immediate – In each of these areas we need some quick "wins". To keep momentum in these areas growing in the church, we need people to see some movement toward each of these. What are some things we can do quickly to realize growth in each of these initiatives?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Midrange – What are some things we can do in the next few months to a year to move each of these initiatives forward?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Longterm – What are things we can suggest as longterm ideas? These may not happen for a year or more, but we can set them in our sights and work towards them?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Temporary – These are usually one term or short-term commitment projects. They aren't likely to be repeated. They can be doing a one day event or one series of days, but they aren't expected to continue forever.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Permanent – These are changes that, for the foreseeable future, will become part of the culture of Immanuel.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I've been asked for specifics for each of these, and frankly, I'm hesitant to do that. I like for teams I appoint to start with blank slates and have freedom to dream on their own. That way they own the vision. I have a list of my own and I'll be sharing them along the way with the teams, but I want to make sure they understand what I'm asking them to do, then release them to brainstorm. We are just getting started with this process and it is not expected to be a quick process. Some will move faster than others. That's expected.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>As with other posts in this transition process, I'm simply sharing these to help others as they think through transitions needed in their own ministry setting.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>What questions do you have about this process?

I pray for You to be my "He Dexia" Hold me Jesus in Your Mighty Right Hand of Character, Power, Love, Grace, Mercy and Security. All hell seems to be breaking loose in my life. I pray for Your help Jesus. It is the little things like cars breaking down one after the other and repairs to the house, but the little things add up to big bucks. Then the IRS pulling their stunt of charging us 1900 dollar fee for not turning in all our business forms when we did turn them in, three times now. Plus I am not physically feeling well. Plus the refinance we are trying to get done for the house just got abruptly halted. I pray for YOUR hand of protection against the attacks of the enemy. AMEN!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#0070c0'>"The LORD said to Moses, "Send some men to explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites… Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, "We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it." But the men who had gone up with him said, "We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are."</span>
<span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>Numbers 13:1a, 30-31</strong></span>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>As we face life, we can be overwhelmed by its giant obstacles or be inspired by its giant opportunities. Challenges and uncertainties tend to corrode our confidence. It is in the face of the unknown that we can move forward by faith, or backward in disbelief. <strong><em>What giant obstacles are you facing? How can your obstacles be converted into opportunities? </em></strong>Obstacles are stepping stones for obedient feet to follow.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Therefore, stay focused with aggressive patience and you will eventually see some obstacles dissolve while others are transformed into treasures. <strong>Possibly a financial opportunity is looming large but it seems like an intimidating obstacle. If so, stay true to your integrity by not selectively suspending your core values for much needed results. Instead, remain faithful to wise stewardship and honesty. The right results will follow at the right time. </strong>Trust God to use scary giants for His glory.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God orchestrates giant opportunities for His greater good. He told Moses that He was giving His children the promised land; all they had to do was show up and receive His gift. Giant opportunities often require faith, planning, perseverance, and hard work, buy sometimes the reward of obedience and trust in the Lord is enough. So how are you facing the giants in your life; as obstacles or opportunities?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Leaders look and pray for opportunities, exploring them with energy and enthusiasm. Your relentless leadership inspires your family, friends, and work associates to remain faithful and not freak out. Therefore, take the opportunity the Lord has given you. Difficult days and economic challenges are great opportunities for God to get the glory. So be aggressive, increase your efforts, actively pursue heaven with prayer, and by faith receive what your Savior Jesus has already given you. Go after the giant opportunities with gusto and with grace.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The Bible says, "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13, NASB).
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Prayer: With what giant obstacle, can I trust God to turn it into an opportunity?

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>"Jesus replied, 'What is impossible with men is possible with God". Luke 18:27
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><strong><em>God-sized goals are meant to challenge our thinking and further our faith. These Holy Spirit inspired 'big ideas' are crafted by our Creator to spur us on to good works and transformational living.</em></strong> God-sized goals make us uncomfortable at times. They are not guaranteed to happen, but they position us to pray more and believe in God better.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>It is through prayerful planning and implementation that gigantic goals move from a mere possibility to a surer probability. Huge objectives are a hedge against mediocrity, and a prod toward perfection. God-sized goals are given to govern your thinking and determine your time, so that you are intentional and focused on His big picture. Otherwise, you can drift around without a rudder of reality, destined for disappointment.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Best of all God-sized goals get you to God. It is prayer and planning with significant progress that moves you from the realm of possibility to the place of probability. In most cases it is one man or woman's passion and focus that proves catalytic in the creation and execution of the goal. The leader looks failure in the eye and extinguishes it by faith, wisdom, and hard work, all wrapped around a skilled and unified team.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Christ-centered possibilities, far outweigh man-centered probabilities. Perhaps you need to get away in solitude for several days, asking your Savior to sear your soul with His goals. Think outside the box of small belief, for the Lord is unlimited in His abilities and resources. God-sized goals arrest your attention, adjust your attitude, and accelerate your actions.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>So, prayerfully set great goals, and He will grow your character in the process, while influencing others for His glory. Trust Him to teach you the way and to show you, with eyes of faith, way beyond the bounds of your experience, for His plan will prevail. The Bible says, "I know You can do all things; no plan of Yours can be thwarted" (Job 42:2).
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Prayer: What goal is God giving me that needs to be accepted in faith, requiring hard work towards its accomplishment?

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>Jonah 3:4</strong></span>
<span style='color:#0070c0'>And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
</span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>When the prophet Jonah entered Nineveh, he gave a message of hopelessness -- in 40 days your city will be destroyed! He did not say, Nineveh will be destroyed "unless", but emphatically prophesied destruction to the people of the city -- seeming to say their situation was hopeless. Yet hearing this message Nineveh repented, and because their repentance was genuine God spared the city for a season and many lives were saved. Jonah's prophecy of judgment was averted, and Nineveh's destiny was changed by their response to the deep conviction from a message of doom. That's how it is with God. He is so compassionate, so longing to forgive and restore people to Himself, that He seems to "change His mind" showing how His mercy triumphs over judgment.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Kimberly, is there a "prophecy of doom" over your life? Are your sins piled so high that God's judgment seems irrevocable and imminent? Don't despair ... repent! With our compassionate God there is hope even when it seems all is lost. You may have wandered very far from Him -- but if Nineveh, a pagan city, hardened and ripe for judgment and "hopelessly" heading toward destruction, could be saved -- shouldn't you also have hope if you turn back to the Lord? Don't give up – with Yeshua (Jesus) there is always hope!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God always makes a way out. He is my Way-Maker. Lately I have been feeling like I don't deserve the Way-Out God seems to be opening the door for. 7 years ago, we made a really bad financial decision. We were trying to "do" instead of being God's. We kindled our own fire (Isaiah 50:10-11) and walked by the light of a man made fire and for the last 7 years we have laid down in torment. Our impulsive decision to "fix things" our way really back fired on us and we walked right into a deceptive trap. We had two mortgages we were putting them into one mortgage and we were cashing out some of our equity to pay for the construction of our home addition and my daughter's wedding which was only a month out. We had asked for a 30 year fixed mortgage and everything was signed and approved but a couple days before the closing the mortgage officer said she was not going to be able to do that "at this time", she said she had to give us two "mortgages" and in six months we could take those two "mortgages" and roll them back into one 30 year fixed. It was an amazing "bait and switch" and we fell for it because we were trying to "fix" something without God. We should have turned to GOD at that point, instead we turned to man and man deceived us. We went back in six months to get the loans changed and the mortgage officer told us we could not do it right now, had to wait another year and then we went back in another year and of course they told us they could not do it. At that point we pulled out of that bank. We tried unsuccessfully 3 times at other places to refinance. For the next seven years we struggled with two "mortgages" with very high rates and very crazy "simple" interest. Recently as we sent to apply for a federal mortgage program, we found out that we did not even have "mortgages" we had home equity notes. What a scam! We fell right into it because we tried to make our own way. When we found out we had home equity loans, it triggered the interest of the current loan officer who felt that we also had been "scammed"! Because of this, a door has been opened for us to try to put these two "home equity" loans together, get rid of them and get a really good interest rate. Our house has to appraise up to 238 Thousand in order for that to happen. In the last three years we have already put out 1200.00 for three other appraisals which failed because of the upside-down economy. We stopped trying for a couple of years, because we could see it was obvious that the change that needed to take place was not in our mortgage, not in the economy, but in our hearts. God wanted us to completely trust HIM, to fully walk with HIM in our finances and fully face HIM and wait on HIM with our every decision! No more compartmentalizing God, He wanted to be ALL-IN with us, because HE had proven that He was ALL-IN by sending His Son Jesus to die just for our salvation and justification. He wanted what He had already paid for, the rights to be a part of our lives, the just as if we never sinned rights that allow us into HIS Presence whenever we want. He desired to be a part of ALL of our lives, every decision and make a miraculous moment out of every minute of our lives because He was part of it. No compartmentalizing! The financial and economical, jobless trials allowed in our lives by HIM have torn down the compartments and now He freely reigns in our lives. The consequences of our choices still plagued us, but the newly found freedom in Christ was our delight. WE are ALL-IN with God, our relationship with HIM no longer has compartments that He is not ruling in. A door has opened in a miraculous way for us to get the house refinanced at 85 percent loan to value with a 3.5 percent interest rate! We have to have the house appraised and it has to appraise up to 238thousand, which should be absolutely no problem because the house value is 275, but the market values have dropped so much that we will need a miracle of God's Favor. Since the last three failed appraisals, I have not wanted to try again these last two years, I felt this was a consequence of our impulsive dependency on our flesh 7 years ago and I felt like we were going to have to live with the bad mortgages we had. Today God showed me through this little thing we have together about pennies. God gives me pennies and when He does that, I pick them up and I know He is providing for me. It is kind of "our thing"! He uses pennies to show me that whatever and however He provides for me, I need to accept it with gratitude and contentment. Every time I find pennies in my pathway, I know He is going to provide something for me miraculously. Today, my phone would not turn on and I had to take out the battery compartment. As I took the cover off of the battery compartment, a shiny 2012 penny dropped out of it. Lately I have felt I don't deserve to be let out of the mess we created in our mortgages, but when that penny fell out and I knew no human being could have put it there, I knew God was speaking to my heart that HE Would provide for us in 2012 in HIS Way, by His provision, He would make a way out and have mercy upon the consequences we have endured for 7 years because of our impulsive decision. It was so cool to have a "miraculous moment" with my AWE-GOD! I love you Lord. Thank you for Your Mercy!

</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:13pt'><strong>Here are 7 habits of successful leaders:
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Prioritizing each day</strong> – Everyday we are flooded with opportunities. Some are good. Some are bad. Some are best. You often won't know until you try on some of them, but successful leaders strive everyday to identify and do that which is the best use of their time.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Yielding to experience</strong> – Successful leaders know they must seek the input from others for continued success. There will always be someone with more experience in a subject. Many times that person will be someone the leader is supposed to be leading. Successful leaders surround themselves with people smarter they they are, especially in areas of their weaknesses. They are never afraid to ask, "Can you help me?" Pretending to have all the answers can destroy a leader. When a leader is willing to humble him or herself and solicit input, the team feels validated and the best answer is discovered.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Networking</strong> – Iron sharpens iron. The most successful leaders I know have a network of other successful leaders around them. They glean from each other, share war stories and help each other when needed. The sheltered leader will seldom reach his or her full potential.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Continuous learning</strong> – Successful leaders are sponges for new information. They are continually reading, taking notes, and exploring new ideas and ways of doing things.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Maintaining health</strong> – Successful leaders learn to balance the demands on them by remaining healthy physically, mentally, spiritually and relationally, as much as it depends on them. No one can escape sudden tragedy or the trials of life, but successful leaders weather those storms by being as prepared as possible before they arrive.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Willing to make hard decisions</strong> – Successful leaders don't allow fear, intimidation or friendship to keep them from making the right decisions for the organization they lead. Leading doesn't always make a person popular, but successful leaders care more about the greater purpose than their personal advancement.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Commitment to a higher purpose</strong> – Successful leaders are striving for something bigger than themselves…bigger than the reality of today. For me personally, this is my passion for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but successful leaders are willing to endure the loneliness of leadership, the stress of leading, and the pressure to perform at higher levels, because they believe in something worth the fight.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Those are my observations.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:red'>What would you add?</span>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-size:22pt'><span style='color:red; text-decoration:underline'><span style='font-family:Monotype Corsiva'>My<strong> Thoughts About This = Miraculous Musings! </strong></span><span style='font-family:Wingdings'><strong>J</strong></span></span><span style='font-family:Monotype Corsiva'>
</span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I like the continuous learning one, no matter how long you have served, you still can learn. I like learning and growing, I really like having fresh revelation that I get as the Holy Spirit leads me to read and study and learn from others, that is too cool!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> I probably would add that successful leaders "habitually" keep the word servant in front of leadership; they are habitually "servant leaders". I don't mean servants 1<sup>st</sup> to people, I mean they serve God 1<sup>st</sup> before their ministry; they are called to God 1<sup>st</sup> and enjoy a vibrant, passionate, worshipping relationship with AWE-GOD, so their passion for serving God comes from internal relationship with God, not external peer pressure. Their leadership is aligned and realigned in a holy alignment with God 1<sup>st</sup>. They serve HIM and He matters more than anything, and that way they don't have a tight, tight grip on ministry, but on Jesus! A Servant Leader Simply Significantly Serves God 1<sup>st</sup> And The Fruit Of That Is Seen In JOY! Jesus – Others – You!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt; text-decoration:underline'><strong>Comment By Bruce:
</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Most leaders are also narcissistic in the extreme,vicious tempers, arrogant, mostly divorced, believe that they live by a different rule book, check Steve Jobs , most televangelists, most Mega Church Past, but then look at Jesus??? lets stop looking at supposed achievements and look at character instead, the paths of most leaders are covered with the bodies of there co-workers :-(
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-size:22pt'><span style='color:red; text-decoration:underline'><span style='font-family:Monotype Corsiva'>My<strong> Thoughts About This = Miraculous Musings! </strong></span><span style='font-family:Wingdings'><strong>J</strong></span></span><span style='font-family:Monotype Corsiva'>
</span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#00b050; font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:16pt'><strong>Wow… You have such a different perspective of leadership. I guess perspective is sometimes shaped by experiences you have encountered in life. I have had some negative experiences with leaders too. But my perspective is a bit different from yours and it started when I decided to live what Psalm 62:5 said: To put all my hope and expectation in Jesus. Human beings will let us down but God does not. When I have been hurt by a leader, I have to decide to either let it make be bitter or better. I could blame a specific leader who hurt me and say he held me back, I could spend my time being lame or I could fully face my God and let my relationship perspectives come out of that vertical relationship with God. You will not find me relating to people in a horizontal way from me to them, unless I have 1<sup>st</sup> a unbreakable vertical relationship with God. Seeing things through God's eyes, understanding how Jesus, the King of Heaven was willing to "abase" himself so we could have life, it really helps your perspective when you deal with a leader who disappoints you. I pray you begin to see things through God's eyes and continue to walk in a vertical relationship with God 1<sup>st</sup> before you engage in horizontal relationship with people. It is a really enlightening way to deal with the failures of others, so that they don't derail the mission God has for you. The human condition always aggravates us on our way, but GOD is our peace, He promised that and He told us to do everything we could to make peace with others and then move forward with HIM!

</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>1. Act on the small picture - (some what similar to prioritize the day) It is often said that Leaders need to focus on the big picture (where we are going). The big picture is important but what needs to happen today? Lead to the future but also lead today. <br/>2. Delegate responsibility. Don't just give people tasks to do, but give them responsibility. Give them the freedom to get the job done their way. It may not be perfect, but it takes a burden off you, and it also helps raise up new leaders.

</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:13pt'><strong>Here are 7 elements of my strategy for the beginning days:
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Get to know key leaders</strong> – I am trying to get to know the staff and key Influencers in the church. I believe God uses the influence of others to build His church, so I want to know who I will be working with in the days to come. Think of it this way. If Moses was implementing the Jethro method, his primary energy would need to be communicating and investing in those leaders he enlisted to lead others. I'm using that approach. If I hope to make any substantial changes I'll need these influencers support.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Let people get to know me</strong> – For an introvert it's been exhausting, but I've been very visible in the early days. In fact, in my ministry I'm usually always very accessible, just as I am online. I have written before (<a target='_blank' href='http://www.ronedmondson.com/2011/07/the-tension-between-being-accessible-and-being-available.html'><span style='color:blue; text-decoration:underline'>HERE</span></a>) that I may not always be available but I can always be accessible. I want them to feel comfortable with me and trust my leadership, so I think they need to see me frequently, even more so in the beginning days of my pastorate.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Set my initial vision</strong> – People want to know where I am going with my leadership. I set an initial <a target='_blank' href='http://www.ronedmondson.com/2012/07/my-plan-for-my-new-church.html'><span style='color:blue; text-decoration:underline'>7 part vision</span></a> for the people. I really wanted 3 or 4 initial initiatives, but I landed on 7. They are all things I'm passionate about implementing. Some will gets started faster than others, but the church seems anxious to get behind all of them.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Identify quick wins</strong> – I'm looking for some things I can immediately impact and change for good. These are things I believe everyone can agree with, don't require a lot of resources or long debates. There were a few minor paperwork nuisances that impacted staff were happy I changed, for example. I invested some energy in some areas of ministry that never received a lot of attention. Those areas are especially excited.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Do the unexpected</strong> – It seems like such a small deal, but I roam the balcony on Sunday morning. It takes a little more time, but it has proven to be a big deal. I talk to the person who will be changing my slides on the screen prior to the service. That's been a surprise to them. They say it's never happened before, but it's proven to be a big deal. I'm roaming the halls of the offices during the day, walking into people's offices, and allowing drop ins to my office when I'm available. All unexpected, but bringing very positive feedback.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Pace myself</strong> – I realize I'm only one person and although everyone wants some of my time right now and there are more ideas than we could ever accomplish, I know I will burnout if I don't pace myself. That's meant I am saying no to some things…really many things. It isn't easy to say no to such eager people, for me or them, but I know it will prove best in the end if I'm able to last for the long run.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Move slowly on the biggies</strong> – Being honest, there are some big items I'd like to change now. I am wise enough, however, to know that some changes are too big to launch quickly. I could. I'm in a honeymoon period. I could probably "get away with them", but the people don't really know me yet. I may win a battle, but lose the war. (Not that there is a battle. Just using a cliche. Why do I even have to say that?)
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>I'll continue to update along the way. <strong>What questions do you have for me? </strong>

My husband is a traveling construction superintendent. His company puts him up in the state where the job is for as long as needed until it is finished. The only thing stable in my life is my online church ministry (wherever I go, it goes) and a home in the MTNS that we come home to every now and then. The most hardest transition for me every time we move (which is usually every 8mths to a year) is that I have not changed, I am still a seasoned servant who has been trained and equipped by God and have served in many types of ministries. But, people don't trust you, yes Christians… they don't trust you when you come into a new church. You are stepping into their family room as a stranger. I have found you can't come in dragging the past with you, telling them everything that you "used" to do; you have to find a place to fit in the God Purposes that are in play in their living room. Every time we move, we have to find a new church, and every time they require you to go through their "new members class" 101, 201… etc before you can serve. I used to resent it so much… not another "new members class"… but I realized even though I may be more trained and experienced more ministry then all of them combined, I need to come into the situation like Jesus did with a heart that is "abased", willing to lay down my rights and step into the Kingdom Purposes that are already in play!

</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Verdana; font-size:7pt'>More specifically, he, "called on all Muslims to wage Jihad (holy war) with their money and their selves to free al-Quds.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> "He [Jesus] replied, "You give them something to eat." They answered, "We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd." Luke 9:13
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God is not passive in His provision. He aggressively applies His resources directly to the felt need of His children. But His works are outside the small box of unbelief. The Lord's faithfulness flourishes where the soul fluently speaks the language of faith. The Holy Spirit traffics freely on the highway of a trusting heart. <strong><em>Man's natural eye limits the Lord's supernatural supply, but an eternal gaze engages His possibilities.
</em></strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where it seems like we lack the Lord's provision. The resources right in front us look like they are limited, without suitable capacity. Can Christ be creative with what He has already given us? Yes, of course, if we are obedient to follow His directives. Faith says yes to God's "what", even when His "how" is unclear. Many times God has already provided for His children. The provision may seem disguised in its unconventional appearance, but nonetheless it is still very near.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Like an explorer on the verge of discovering a valuable treasure, so you may be one step of obedience away from discovering Christ's treasure trove of blessings. What are you facing that requires Jesus to provide? Is it wisdom? He is wisdom. Is it peace? He is the Prince of Peace. Is it comfort? He weeps with compassion. Is it direction? He is the Bright and Morning Star. Is it forgiveness? He forgives. His provision precedes the need.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The possibilities of God's provision begin to be defined by numbering the grains of sand in the sea. Jesus is asking you to take the step of faith where you are, so He can take you to where you need to be. Christ wants to change you, before He changes your circumstances. He is building your trust to make you trustworthy with His blessings. Like mighty vessels that only cross deep channels of water, so you are the Lord's valued vessel to deliver His unfathomable blessings to others. Perhaps His provision is you!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>"Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." Mark 10:27

With the best intentions, they want to make sure what they are doing is God's "will" for their life.

God is constantly stirring my heart and leading me and I need to follow after that, but sometimes I let my mind "over think" the direction of my heart and this does slow me down and exhaust me!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Wisdom
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding" (Proverbs 9:10).
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The fear of the Lord is fundamental to finding wisdom. Without awe of the Almighty there is no access to His insights. Where reverence for His holiness is void, there is lack of understanding into the ways of God. The first step in acquiring wisdom from almighty God is to fear Him. There is a worship of the Lord's majesty and a dread of His judgment.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>His Holy Word—the Bible—is taken to heart as truth for the purpose of life transformation. At first, fear of the Lord may be so overwhelming that it conflicts with love and distracts our desire for intimacy. Anyone who has been broken understands this process. However, once a healthy fear of the Lord has been embraced, there is peace and knowledge in submission to and love for the Holy One.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>"He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure" (Isaiah 33:6).
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Moreover, we mock God when we move away from the language of fear; He is not one to be mocked. <strong><em>So, as devoted followers of Christ, we sow the seeds of respect, reverence, and fear of the Lord. This discipline of faith results in a harvest of holiness, happiness, and wisdom.</em></strong> Fear of Him leads to knowledge of Him. Therefore, bow before Him on your knees in prayer, and seek His face for forgiveness and relational restoration.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Celebrate together with Christ our conquest over sin, sorrow, and death. What is counter-intuitive on earth is intuitive in heaven. Listen to David admonish his son Solomon, who became the wisest man in the world: "As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever" (1 Chronicles 28:9 NASB).

He will make a way of escape for His weary, but waiting children." From The Book: The Red Sea Rules By Robert J. Morgan

And I tell the world what I have heard from him." 27 They did not understand that Jesus was telling them about his Father. 28 So Jesus said, "You will lift up the Son of Man. Then you will know that I am the one I claim to be. You will also know that I do nothing on my own. I speak just what the Father has taught me. 29 The One who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what pleases him." 30 Even while Jesus was speaking, many people put their faith in him. The Children of Abraham 31 Jesus spoke to the Jews who had believed him. "If you obey my teaching," he said, "you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth. And the truth will set you free." 33 They answered him, "We are Abraham's children. We have never been slaves of anyone. So how can you say that we will be set free?" 34 Jesus replied, "What I'm about to tell you is true. Everyone who sins is a slave of sin. 35 A slave has no lasting place in the family. But a son belongs to the family forever. 36 So if the Son of Man sets you free, you will really be free.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>We are a Christian Nation and this is what makes us truly and wholly free! What makes us a Christian Nation is Jesus Christ, He died and purchased our freedom. What made us a Christian Nation? Our Father God is the Creator of the World, therefore every nation is HIS, every nation is under His Sovereign reign and control. Every nation will bow before AWE-GOD and His justice will prevail as no person will be exempt from accountability to HIM. This world is a Christian World, our nation is a Christian nation because it all belongs to our Christian AWE-GOD, the creator and establisher of every authority and nation on this side of heaven!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God is always being, always looking out for the good of His people. He has set many things into place to enhance our freedom over the centuries! He is the source of our freedom, the foundation of our Christianity. Whatever Christianity, Whatever Freedom Is In Place In Our Nation, It Was Seeded By God With Great Kingdom Purpose And He Is Currently At Work Making His Way, Establishing His Will And His Kingdom To Come.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>This World - This Nation – Our Freedom Is Not About Us – It Is All About HIM! To say this Nation is not Christian to me is to say God did not create it. At the foundation of this nation was the God of Christianity and He formed this nation to be Christian, to be free to love HIM and be freely loved by HIM. To be free to serve Him and to be freely served by HIM. To be free to honor HIM and to be freely honored by His Favor, Grace, Wisdom and Protection. Whether we choose to be found in God, to walk in relationship with HIM, to be a part of His Kingdom purposes in play, to be led by His Way, Truth And Life does not change the foundation of Christianity and freedom our AWE-GOD purposed and gave to our nation and our world!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God's Christianity, Truth and Freedom is Infinite and it will stand the tests of time. God does not sit back idly and watch the injustices and oppressions of our human will, He just as involved in preserving, protecting and He is and was in providing the Christian foundation and characteristics and morals of His world. He has called upon, equipped and provided "ministers of justice" since the beginning of time and He is constantly working our His justice in all things. God is living and moving and having His being in us and through us!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Never presume that God's Justice will not prevail. Things are not as they seem, we only see in part. It is foolish to even think that our nation, that this world is not Christian and that our AWE-GOD is not controlling with great Sovereign Purpose every moment, every person, every situation, every ruler and every authority is under His divine providence. He established the Christian principles and the freedom we enjoy and celebrate today and He will see it through INFINITELY SO… If you "dumb down" our AWE-GOD by foolishly thinking and even saying that this is not a Christian Nation, I am sure, without a doubt, God will prove to you that it is, it has been and always will be HIS Christian Nation, set forth with great Kingdom purpose in the freedom we know in His Son, Jesus Christ!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> "As God's co-workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain." 2 Corinthians 6:1
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>There is a vanity associated with someone who has been saved by the grace of God, but who does not appropriate the grace of God. Ironically, they believe in Jesus for the forgiveness of their sin, but they do not behave like they believe. <strong><em>Pride has a way of working itself back into the good graces of a life that is not governed by God's grace.</em></strong> Humility, on the other hand, flourishes in the hothouse of a heart that appreciates and applies God's grace.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><strong><em>We are all in danger of forgetting how faith in Christ changed us and brought us into a place of grace. </em></strong>The flesh forges ahead of faith and facilitates graceless living. Before we know it we are back to bad habits, putting grace on the back burner of our belief. Hence, we need reminders of the transformational work of the Holy Spirit that seizes the heart of a life in submission to Almighty God. Grace empowers a humble heart.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>"They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules." Mark 7:7
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Furthermore, grace becomes vain when it is crushed under the weight of loveless legalism. Grace converts knowledge about God into knowing God. You are protected from man-made rules that grasp God's glory when you use grace as a filter for your faith building. For example, your family may need your financial support, so make sure you do not feed the poor in Africa and ignore your relatives at home. <strong><em>Legalism is hard and inflexible—grace is gentle and moldable. Legalism lacks compassion—grace gives grace.
</em></strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Graceless living loses Christians creditability. Are you a church member who gossips in the name of prayer or are you a gracious saint who prays with quiet confidentiality? Are you a religious person who holds a grudge or are you a gracious Jesus follower who forgives freely? Are you a proud and self-centered believer or a sinner saved by grace? Praise the Lord, that we the redeemed are a container and dispenser of God's grace. You are a cherished co-worker with Christ—His grace grows in your humble, teachable heart.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>"But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, " GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE." James 4:6, NASB

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Though you probe my heart, though you examine me at night and test me, you will find that I have planned no evil; my mouth has not transgressed. Psalm 17:3
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God's spirit is interested in probing our hearts. He knows the heart is the source of our speech and conduct. The heart can conceal our anger or release it in Christ-honoring conversation. Unreleased anger is ugly. It eventually comes out in damaging portions. If our heart goes unexamined, then we drift into a sick state of denial. We lose touch with reality and lead others into our wrong thinking. On the other hand, a healthy heart keeps us honest and engaged. It is the tender touch of Jesus that reminds us to look inward. If we don't manage our motives and confess our sins, we create a mess. Our hearts can be a hindrance or a conduit for Christ-centered living. So how do we exercise the Spirit's examination of our heart and soul? What is necessary to make sure we come under the scrutiny of our Savior Jesus? How do we get to the heart of the matter?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>A heart probe by God does not happen accidentally. It occurs intentionally. Just as we daily determine to take care of the physical dimension of our heart, so we are instructed to exercise our spiritual condition. Appointments, good or bad activities, and life responsibilities can all crowd out our candid conversations with Christ. So margin for our Master is a must. We cannot spend all of our time doing the work of God while ignoring the voice of God. Goodworks from an unguarded heart only give an illusion of selfless service. Our works cannot resolve a conflicted heart. It is only under microscopic probing by the Holy Spirit that we see ourselves for who we truly are. Sometimes selfishness comes into focus. Other times timidity surfaces because we are afraid of conflict. It is in these moments of discovery that we invite God's grace to enter and heal our hurting heart.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Our words, or the lack thereof, are evidence of what dwells in our heart. Sometimes the Holy Spirit checks our heart and moves us to silence. <strong><em>Trust trumps the trouble we face, and we exhibit long suffering with the Lord and other people. This is a heart of faith.</em></strong> Other times, the Spirit prompts us to speak up. We are unclear of the outcome but He gives us the courage to converse. This is a heart of boldness. Whether in silence or speech, it is the Holy Spirit that governs a heart controlled by Christ. Therefore, <strong><em>do not allow your words to get ahead of your heart. Don't speak your mind until your heart has been examined and set free by the Spirit</em></strong>. Sometimes a simple good night's sleep brings perspective into focus. Bare your soul before your Savior before you boldly confront others.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Your heart probe may come from a variety of exercises. It may be a prescription of perpetual prayer that penetrates your heart with grace and forgiveness. It may be the treadmill of trust that builds endurance and creates within you a stronger heart of faith. Sometimes our Savior's stethoscope of conviction discovers sin that needs confession and repentance. Above all else, lay your heart before the Lord. Ask others to validate the Lord's probing and promptings. <strong><em>Resolve, by God's grace, to keep short sin accounts. A Spirit-probed heart produces right speech, spoken the right way.</em></strong>
<strong><em>Effectiveness on behalf of our heavenly Father hinges on a healthy heart. Therefore, allow the Lord to examine it often. </em></strong>The Spirit's scripts are just what we need. Administer them daily.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#0070c0'>"There is hope in your future, says the Lord." </span><span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>Jeremiah 31:17, NKJV</strong></span>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>In Christ there is hope; outside of Christ there is no hope. Those focused on heaven find hope; those focused on earth find hope illusive. A life lived by faith is hopeful, but a life lived in fear is hopeless. Hope is not just the outcome of an optimist, it is the fruit of those whose security is in their Savior Jesus Christ. Moreover, money messes with the mind as it demands full allegiance to the almighty dollar in exchange for a false hope.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>However, we discover authentic hope and freedom in our submission to Christ as Lord and Master of our fate. Deep abiding hope is not a strategy, but a reality when we bow in reverent obedience to God. He does not tease His children with pseudo promises. On the contrary, our heavenly Father gave what was most precious to Him, His Son, so we could become sons and daughters of the most High. Indeed, hope is a gift from God.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>"He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" Romans 8:32
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Where is the root of your hope grounded? In your job or Jesus? With friends or faith? In your home or heaven? In earthly riches or the riches of God's grace? Satan cannot steal the seed of hope when you plant it in the soil of Scripture. Your hope in Christ is not conditional to circumstances; rather it thrives on trust when assaulted by ambiguity. You move from hopelessness to hopefulness when what matters most, matters the most.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Jesus matters most. Faith matters most. Family matters most. Friends matter most. Love matters most. Fear of God matters most. Evangelism matters most. Discipleship matters most. Stewardship matters most. A healthy diet and regular exercise matter most. Prayer matters most, bible study matters most and forgiveness matters most. Your focus on what matters most is fuel for attaining comfort, hope and courage from Christ. He matters most.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Therefore, be hopeful as a child of God. Your hope in Christ is an advertisement for the Almighty. Those with no hope are attracted to the genuine hope in your heart. Indeed, you are hopeful, because of the origin of your optimism, and the greater purpose of your hope is to bring hope to the hopeless. Suicide shrivels with the prospect of hope. Faith comes alive in Christ and His loving acceptance. Praise the Lord that your hope is alive!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." 1 Peter 1:3
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Prayer: Heavenly Father, I embrace Your living hope in Christ, thanks for our hope in Him.

I recognized it and changed it and began to look forward more to what God was doing now than I was looking back at the season of my life that God had bookended. Nostalgia really did quench the hope of God in me and kept me from stepping out into the flow of His Kingdom purposes in play in my life in the now.

And I tell the world what I have heard from him." 27 They did not understand that Jesus was telling them about his Father. 28 So Jesus said, "You will lift up the Son of Man. Then you will know that I am the one I claim to be. You will also know that I do nothing on my own. I speak just what the Father has taught me. 29 The One who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what pleases him." 30 Even while Jesus was speaking, many people put their faith in him. The Children of Abraham 31 Jesus spoke to the Jews who had believed him. "If you obey my teaching," he said, "you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth. And the truth will set you free." 33 They answered him, "We are Abraham's children. We have never been slaves of anyone. So how can you say that we will be set free?" 34 Jesus replied, "What I'm about to tell you is true. Everyone who sins is a slave of sin. 35 A slave has no lasting place in the family. But a son belongs to the family forever. 36 So if the Son of Man sets you free, you will really be free.

</em></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I think that is a great question! Don't you all think it cuts right through the "cultural religion presupposition" straight to relationship?
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>A good example is: People "culturally" think that if you are making "Godly" choices that you are "religious". They equate your "followship" of Jesus with religion, not relationship. Like… I don't usually go to "R" rated movies, because I feel the need to guard my heart from some things. People look at that and in our culture would say I am "religious", but truly I don't do that because of religion, I do it because of "relationship". It is something between God and me, something He has asked of me. He knows me and He knows R rated movies take my heart in places where I can't guard it.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I think that the culture we live in see's God as "religious" not "relational". Do you think that?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> So yes Steve, this is a really good way to serve up our culture what they truly need "a relationship with Jesus" … not religion.

But at the end of his life, as I kneeled by his bedside, I told him how thankful I was for every good thing he had done and every way he had blessed me, and there were many. We were good friends when he passed away." One of the greatest regrets you can avoid at the end of your life is the failure to praise others when they deserved it, (and even when they didn't).<br/>But why is it that affirming words are so pitifully rare in our conversations, especially when so many many people are anxious, discouraged, and depressed by all the negativity in this life? We're living in a world that's constantly knocking us down, from cradle to grave. Is it any wonder that anxiety and depression are rampant at every age level?<br/>But notice the advice that Solomon gives – a good word makes the heart glad. We should take this to heart. A compliment or blessing can be one of the greatest motivators, and can be truly life changing. And every one of us needs this kind of encouragement to run the race of this life. <br/><strong>Kimberly</strong>, let's be people of encouragement, looking for the word which will lift another person up and bring healing and hope to her soul. A good word will also do wonders for our own hearts. <br/>Your family in the Lord with much agape love, George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah<br/>Negev Desert, Israel

Patience is a fruit of the Spirit that only develops and grows under trial, and it's something we need. Scripture tells us that when we have it, we're perfect and entire, lacking nothing. However, there's just no way to get it without going through something to receive it.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>If we really want to be victorious Christians who serve God and make a difference in the world, then we are going to have to go through some challenging things. The devil will try to scare you off, but God can see you through any challenge.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>So today, choose to let God work through you, even in the face of opposition. As your patience grows and develops, you will step into a life of great victory.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Prayer Starter: Lord, I want You to change me, and I know that means I'll have to go through challenges. Give me Your strength to endure and be steadfast when I'm going through trials so I can have patience and be fully developed in Christ.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Noah was exposed to such frightening experiences he could have worried himself to death; after all, he survived the equivalent of a nuclear holocaust. While Sunday school stories conjure up in our minds the picture of Noah as a quaint, folksy, old zookeeper with a plump, rosy-cheeked wife, he was in fact a very strong, courageous man of character and faith who could have been tremendously traumatized by the most violent catastrophe in history. Surely Noah knew the paralysis of fear and the total paranoia of worry. But he also knew by experience that the God of the storm is also the God of all comfort, able to calm his fears as he kept his faith in God and his focus on God.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>"Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult; whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse" (Proverbs 9:7).
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>We all have a limited amount of time and energy. Wisdom says to spend them both on productive people, not destructive ones. <strong><em>Verbal sparring with a proud person only invites insult. It is better to ignore their venomous venting than try to reason with them.</em></strong> Do your best, stay focused on the task, and trust your reputation with the giver of reputations—your Savior Jesus.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Mockers look to stir things up in the moment. They have no long-term solutions, so avoid their cynical, crazy cycle. A mocker's mind is already made up; he will not change regardless of wise rationale. There are those who return evil for good so do not go there or you may end up in despair. Jesus says the caustic cynic is full of pride.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> What about a family member who seems to be hurtling down a path of destruction? Specifically, you may have a teenager or adult child whose entire focus is friends and freedom. They seem to have rejected all common sense and Christ-like influence. First and foremost, focus on their heart with love and acceptance. If you battle over the external, it will be messy and costly. However, if they change from the inside out, the transformation will be beautiful and enduring.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Ask them to pray, asking the Lord what He thinks about their decisions and choice of friends. Direct them back to Scripture as their Savior's standard for living. Above all, pursue a peaceful and patient attitude in prayer. Our most significant battles are spiritual; they are won or lost on our knees. The Holy Spirit will lead you when to speak, what to say, and when to remain silent. Everyone wins when you value the relationship over winning the argument.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>http://www.ronedmondson.com/2012/06/most-dangerous-leadership-traits.html
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>There are no perfect leaders…except for Jesus. For the rest of us, we each have room for improvement. Most of us live with flaws in our leadership. Good leaders learn to surround themselves with people who can supplement their weaknesses.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>There are, however, some leadership traits, which a leader can never delegate away. If the leader can't work through them, in my opinion, his or her leadership will be crippled. With these traits, the best the leader has to offer will never fully materialize.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>These leadership traits will eventually wreck a leader's success.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:13pt'><strong>Here are 8 dangerous leadership traits:
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Immoral character</strong> – If the leader's character is flawed, the leadership will be flawed. A leader can never escape the quality of his or her heart.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Assuming everyone's support</strong> – Leaders seldom hear the complete story unless they pursue it. Environments have to be created that produce transparency and honesty. Even in the healthiest organizations there will always be things a leader doesn't know.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Assuming everyone understands</strong> – In my experience, most leaders think they are communicating effectively. What's clear to them they assume is clear to others. It's usually not as clear as the leader thinks. Good leaders ask lots of questions to identify the level of clarity.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Continually avoiding conflict</strong> – Conflict never, ever, ever, goes away. Ever. Unresolved conflict damages the strength and integrity of organizational health. It may get ignored, overlooked, or stifled, but until conflict is dealt with it continues to stir strife in an organization.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Pretending to have all the answers</strong> – The less a leader listens to others, the less willing others will desire to help the leader succeed. Arrogant leaders never attract the best from people. Great leaders invite input, knowing that with more people involved, decisions will be stronger and more buy-in will be achieved.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Allowing friendship to derail progress</strong> - Great leaders value relationships and recognize friendships with others as an important part of their personal well-being. At the same time, some leaders fail to separate their friendships from their callings as leaders. They confuse loyalty as a friend from their responsibility as a leader. A leader cannot allow personal friendships to negatively alter the course to success.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Refusing to let go of control</strong> – When the leader doesn't delegate, he or she stifles the growth of the organization. Healthy delegation involves releasing authority over a project. If a leader continually maintains the right to control, the organization will be limited to his or her abilities, rather than the strength of the team.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Living in the past</strong> – Unless you're a teacher of history, the leader's primary focus needs to be on the future. Leadership is about moving things forward. That requires progressive thinking, welcoming change, and refusing to let past failures determine future success.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Be honest, of which of these are you most guilty?</strong> As difficult as it may be, until you push through them and improve in that area, you'll never experience the leadership success you desire.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:red'>What leadership trait would you add that must be overcome?</span>

I am really learning and growing from these blog posts and I am grateful. 2<sup>nd</sup> is the leadership trait you need to overcome. Not stopping to celebrate and be grateful. We plan everything into our vision and our goals, except celebration. We evaluate which leans toward the negative but we don't take time to celebrate the positive of what God did. We move too quickly to the "next big thing"! If you notice in the bible, God always bookends each season. He leads the way with worship and He bookends the season with Praise-Celebration. The lack of celebration dumbs down the development of our AWE of God as leaders, which I believe a lot of GOD-gifts flow out of AWE! We miss out when we don't celebrate as leaders!

<span style='color:#0070c0'>Do nothing from factional motives [through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself [thinking more highly of one another than you do of yourselves].4 Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others.
</span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The word "motive" jumps right out of this verse at me right now. I know I do not pay enough attention to my heart motive and for someone who is supposed to live from the inside out, this is not a good evaluation! My heart motives affect my actions with either selflessness or selfishness. Selflessness is a supernatural trait that flows in my life when I have surrendered myself completely to God; selfishness is a human condition that I truly do not want to feed my flesh with.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I realize that my outward doing is always fueled by an inner motive. Why am I not more aware of my motives? Because in light of this scripture, I can see that they really, really do matter! When I take an action to do something, there is always a heart motive in play. This brings up another question to the forefront of my mind and that is: Are God's Kingdom Purposes In Play In My Heart Motives?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Sometimes I am oblivious to my heart motive, especially if I am in a hurry that is being motivated by impulsiveness. Impulsive actions are always masking a hidden heart motive. All the times I have been oblivious and have blocked out my heart motives, is usually because what I am doing is all about me and what I want. My pride helps me block out my heart motive, because my selfishness is always contentiously seeking to satisfy my flesh. Before I act, it really matters that I check my heart motives before I act on them, to make sure there is nothing self seeking attached to them.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I don't want to be prompted by selfish conceit or another way to say that is impelled by selfish-prideful motives. I want to be compelled by the Love of God. Empty Arrogance! What a great way to describe our arrogant motives! Arrogance is truly a motive that is vacant of all things Godly in characteristic!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>What are the things my actions are pursuing right now? Am I in touch with the heart motive for the pursuits I am acting on? My heart motive matters! If I am going to live my life from the inside out, the 1st stop of evaluation for every action should be my heart motive. Why am I doing this? Is my heart motive pure? It matters!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Esteeming Others Comes From A Pure Heart Motive! Does what I choose to do value, look out for the interests of others? What is my heart motive?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>True Spirit Of Humility! What is it? What makes it true? The heart motive does! Someone can look like they are being humble in their actions, but have a totally different heart motive. Our heart motives need to be Holy Aligned with God's Truth. A pure heart motive matters. A heart motive set in the fullness of truth matters!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Meekness is a motive that begins in the heart 1st! Before humility is ever an action, it has saturated your soul and filled your mind with thoughts of pleasing others 1st over yourself. Therefore, you act out the meekness that is already set in your heart, already a mind set in your thoughts.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Flattery is an example of a heart motive that is not pure! I think the best compliments are encouragements that come from a heart motive that is aligned with God's Purposes. When your heart motive is selfish and does not truthfully line up with the words spoken, I believe this is flattery. Encouragement and flattery have two different sources. I try to keep my motives pure, in holy alignment with God's Purposes, so I speak His encouragement and never give way to flattery that has selfish motives.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Motives matter because truth brings life into relationships. Our words have to align with our motives in order for us to walk in the fullness of truth. Christianize is words spoken with heart motives that do not have the same heart attitude as the words spoken. This dysfunctional action will not bring life, but death into a situation or relationship. Never say something you don't mean in order to soften the blow of a hidden truth that you do mean!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>How are we freed in relationships with each other? The fullness of truth! How do we not hurt one another? We speak the fullness of truth where our heart motives line up with our spoken words in holy alignment with God's character, purpose and way.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Jesus, I hope you lead me by Your Holy Spirit, so I am continuously untainted by the world, pure in heart, sincere in spiritual motive, unerring in choice, blameless in behavior, pure in character and always having a reputation that is unsullied by this world. My heart motives matter. Everything begins with my heart attitude that is translated into motive 1st, and then thoughts and actions! Lord please guard my heart!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I hope my motives will always be selfless, pure and truth led. I want to welcome the fullness of God's truth into my heart motives every day.

</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:13pt'><strong>Here are 7 ways I protect my Sabbath:
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Recognize the value</strong> – I have to realize there is a reason to observe a Sabbath. It's almost like God knew what He was doing. If I value it enough, I'll make it a priority. The value of a Sabbath is not only for myself, but it aligns me with God's design for mankind. "On the 7th day He rested". Have you read that somewhere? We were created with a need for the Sabbath. That makes it valuable.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Make it a priority</strong> – Not only do I value the importance, but I make it a priority in my week. As important as any other day, my Sabbath is a must do part of my week. A Sabbath is good for the pastor, the pastor's family and the church. That's worth prioritizing.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Place it on the calendar</strong> – The Sabbath needs to be planned in advance. If you think it's going to happen when you "catch up", you'll never take a Sabbath. Depending on the size of your staff or the demands of your church, your day may not be the same as mine, but you choose a day that works best and calendar it regularly.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Trust others</strong> – One of the leading reasons I hear for pastors not taking a day off is that they don't have anyone who can handle their responsibilities. This is especially true in churches where the pastor is the only staff member. Regardless of staff size, pastors need to surround themselves with some healthy people and take a risk on them. I delegate well so that when I'm gone I know things will continue to operate efficiently. Ultimately, however, when I honor my Sabbath I'm demonstrating that I trust God. After all, the plan was His idea.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Discipline myself</strong> – I just do it. I make myself take a day off. (You should consider this discipline!) Now, here's the hard part of that. In addition to saying "Yes" to yourself, you have to discipline yourself to say "No" to others. Without a doubt, if you try to protect a day there will be multiple invitations, seemingly good opportunities, and non-emergency interruptions. It will happen. You'll have to continually help others (and yourself) understand the value in this discipline. It's part of being a healthy pastor. And, I assume, most churches want that. Frankly some will never understand the value in your Sabbath (even if they see the value for themselves), but they will also be the first one to complain if you aren't performing at your best in other areas of your ministry.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Prepare for it</strong> – I have to work hard prior to a Sabbath so I can comfortably take it without reservation. That means I handle any details I can in advance. Whether a pastor works five or six days a week, (I personally work 6) it is important to work hard and smart enough where there is no guilt in taking your deserved and commanded sabbath. Not trying to be cruel here, but if you are not finding time to take a Sabbath, it could be a planning and organizational problem as much as it is a demand of your time problem.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Learn to enjoy</strong> -Some pastors, like me, are not wired for a Sabbath. I realize some people have no problem taking a day off, but I honestly would work seven days straight if no one stopped me. There's always plenty to do. I've learned, however, that I function better the other 6 days if I have one day that I'm not working. It's been a challenge to maintain it, but I now truly look forward to the rest. It's proven to be as important for my wife as it is for me and when she's happy, I'm happy.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Now, please understand, there are no perfect plans. This works most of the time for me, but not all of the time. There are, of course, exceptions, interruptions, and Kingdom opportunities, which cause me to not be able to protect every Sabbath day. (Jesus had those too.) As much as is possible, however, I stick with this plan, and when it is interrupted, especially if it happens several weeks in a row, I will make up the time with some extra time away. I try to get my downtime back at some point. It's that important to me now.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:13pt'><strong>Pastor, are you protecting your Sabbath? Be honest.
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>The strength and success of your ministry may depend on it.</strong>

"Corrie, when you and I go to Amsterdam, when do I give you your ticket?" "Why, just before we get on the train," she replied. "Exactly," her father said, "and <span style='color:#5f497a'><strong><em>our wise Father in heaven knows when we're going to need things too. Don't run out ahead of Him</em></strong></span>, Corrie.

<span style='color:#0070c0'>And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

</p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Returning from their 'mission' trip, the 72 disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) were filled with joy. "Even the devils are subject to us through your name", they exulted. Yeshua responded that He saw Satan fall like lightening from Heaven and that He had given them authority to trample snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The nature of the enemy is to fall. His destiny and his eternal condition is Fallen. Thus, Satan and his demons want to pull us down with them. Their schemes are subtle, as they watch carefully for opportunities, when our own evil desires rise up in us; [James 1:14]. However they can do it, these evil spirits will seek to drag us down into the miserable fallen condition they are in. In every temptation the enemy is present seeking to pull you down with him. But our calling and destiny is not to fall, it is to rise. Our identity and our authority as the children of God is with the resurrected Messiah. And it's His resurrection life and power that gives us authority over demons and victory over sin – to rise above temptation through a life of spirit-empowered obedience. <span style='color:#0070c0'>"For He has rescued us from darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves", </span><span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>[Col 1:13]
</strong></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Kimberly, You are no longer under the power of fallen angels, but in the power of a risen God. Rise above temptation. Exercise your authority to tread upon the powers of darkness in your own life, and be led by His Holy Spirit, even to deliver others from their power as well. Exercising the authority of our risen Lord over evil is one of our great living testimonies to His goodness and salvation!

Be united in what you think, as if you were only one person. 3 Don't be jealous or proud, but be humble and consider others more important than yourselves. 4 Care about them as much as you care about yourselves 5 and think the same way that Christ Jesus thought: 6 Christ was truly God. But he did not try to remain equal with God. 7 Instead he gave up everything and became a slave, when he became like one of us. 8 Christ was humble. He obeyed God and even died on a cross.

This passion was acted out in the most incredible way, all for us! The Father God sent HIS Son, Jesus to die for our sins, to bridge the sin divide between us. Oh What A Love! Jesus came here to us, took on the human flesh, became our salvation sent from heaven. Jesus, the King of heaven died for us. I can't take that in. What a love! I can't wrap my mind around it. All I can do is pray, testify and hope huge that others receive this great gift, this eternal salvation that our AWE-GOD so desperately wants for us. We were designed for eternity, it is written on our hearts, planted in there by God. I pray we become so openhearted to our God. I pray that everyone everywhere opens their hearts to God, receives what He sacrificially gave us with such great, great love, a love like no other. Open Up Your Heart! Let God In!

This is an unfortunate outcome from outside forces; self-absorbed family members, insensitive friends, and self-inflicted wounds. <strong><em>The deepest harm comes from those who should love well, but because of their own unresolved hurt, are emotionally injurious.</em></strong> For example, instead of spouses meeting a very real need to love and respect their wife or husband, they tear down with cutting words. They may withhold affection, while tempting their marriage partner to find affection elsewhere. Sarcasm scars, rejection injures, anger crushes confidence, and dishonesty destroys trust.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>How do we handle deep hurts that have compounded in crazy cycles over many years? Where do we go when the hurt is so unbearable that we stay scared, implode in anger, and grow a root of bitterness? Fortunately, there is a very real hope for healing found in our loving Heavenly Father and His caring children. <strong><em>Healing doesn't happen by accident, but begins with an intentional acknowledgment of the need for wholeness by God's grace.
</em></strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>Proverbs 16:24</strong></span><span style='color:#0070c0'>"Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."</span>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>By faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are a precious child of God. He died for you. You are loved by the Lord and by His loving disciples. Confess to Christ your desperate need for His love and forgiveness. Linger long in the accepting arms of Jesus and let Him love you. You are not alone. <strong><em>He was rejected, so you could be accepted. He served, so you could serve and be served. He died, so you could live. His grace heals.</em></strong>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Furthermore, listen to the gracious words of others who love the Lord. What they say is sincere and true. Reject the lies of the devil and his followers, but embrace the healing truth of trusted friends and counselors. <strong><em>Emotions can betray, but truth keeps you from straying.</em></strong> Confess your sins to Christ and a few confidantes and forgive those who have brought you shameful hurt. Like a deep wound to the flesh, healing takes time, the pain does not go away immediately, the scab is messy, but the scar is a badge of God's grace.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#0070c0'>"Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard."</span>

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>May 23, 2012 in Christians,Church,Ministry with 16 Comments
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I am frequently asked about my thoughts on church discipline. I've learned that most of the time, when someone asks, they have a personal agenda they are attempting to address, far more than they have a concern for Biblical accuracy.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>They may know someone who committed a specific sin they feel warrants discipline. Sometimes they were injured by someone and want to make sure the person is properly disciplined. They may even want to be a part of the "prayer" process…and they want details…so they can pray (and gossip) appropriately.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>If it sounds like I have an angst against church discipline…maybe I do. It's not that I'm against it. I do believe there is a place for church discipline. How can I not? The Bible addresses it. It's just that most of the time when I've seen it spoken of it seems more like retribution than something Biblical. I'm against that! I think punishment was nailed to a cross.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> ◦Should we being doing more church discipline? Yes
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> ◦Should we do it better? Yes
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>My bigger question would be as to the purpose of church discipline.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I'm a simple minded guy though. I'm not deep. I need thoughts I can wrap my mind around. So, I'm not attempting to give a scholarly reply to the subject, but simply add some of my thoughts. For some of them I give a general reference and for others it's simply a thought, though each of them is based on my interpretation of Scripture as a whole and my view of God and His plan for mankind. I have often thought in terms of my role as an earthly father attempting to parent my children when I think of how God must think in terms of parenting me. Obviously He's the perfect parent, but even Jesus alluded to the role of an earthly father in relation to our Heavenly Father. (Luke 11:9-12)

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Here are 7 simple thoughts on Church Discipline:
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Grace is primary in healthy discipline, not secondary. Throughout Scripture, God approached people with grace and unconditional love. Discipline should never be done in anger, but always in a redemptive way. (Romans 5:20)
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The best discipline you will never know about. (Read Matthew 18) If discipline is handled correctly, the person is approached by someone, usually someone close to them, they repent and you move forward. In most cases, no one else needs to know at this point.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Discipline is part of the process of discipleship, not a side product. Healthy discipline is a part of helping others be more like Christ. You know of areas of sin in a person's life, so you confront them in love, helping them grow and improve. (Proverbs 1:1-3; 6:23)
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Discipline is done in an effort to restore, not to punish. Jesus took the punishment for our sins. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Proverbs 10:17; Romans 5:8)
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>It's not limited to select sins. If you are doing disciplines as a part of discipleship, then you address known sins…period. It could be gossip…may even be gluttony or greed. (Matthew 5:21-28)
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The only people doing church discipline perfectly are the perfect churches. They do discipleship perfectly, also. In fact, they're pretty much perfect. (Or think they are. )
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>It rarely involves people having to leave the church. I honestly think that's what some people feel is the key objective. I don't see it that way. I see it more restorative than dismissive. (Philemon)
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I realize scholars can pick this apart. I welcome your input and healthy correction. Just do it in love please. I think that's Biblical too!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>What are your thoughts on church discipline?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Church discipline! Ouch! It hurts! Even after 25 years later it still hurts! We had a youth pastor fall into sin with a youth leader. Both families destroyed. Our Senior pastor was angry, rightfully so, he discipled this pastor, but he took that anger and before the whole church disciplined that youth pastor, banned him from the fellowship. We lost over 50 youth and their families that day, we all loved our youth pastor, we grieved like no other, it still hurts because there was never reconciliation. Our next youth meeting we started over with 10 youth.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>It reminds me of that movie called First Knight! Where the King of Camelot got angry because he caught the queen and his 1<sup>st</sup> Knight kissing, so he called for an open tribunal which made the city vulnerable as he opened the city gates and the enemy was able to come in and take them hostage. The king realized what he had done but it was too late and he lost his life because of it. The people fought for Camelot and it survived. We also fought to be called to God 1<sup>st</sup> and for our youth and they survived and three years later we had a youth group 350 strong in discipleship and Jesus! But it still hurts and that pain still shapes me in Godliness, in learning how to make the right biblical decision, my 1<sup>st</sup> choice the right choice because the way you do things is the consequence you live with.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The question that comes to mind is it a "reaction" or a "response" Reaction usually is from our human condition and it is impulsive. Response is usually where you have taken time and worked out your anger. You are angry but you don't sin. If there is already a sin present and you react in anger, that is usually a double dipping consequence. Not fun!

</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:13pt'><strong>The tension between self promotion and effectiveness in ministry is huge.
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>As a pastor, I am conscious of appearing to build a platform for my own self interests. Being online as much as I am is a struggle for those who don't understand my Kingdom purpose. Of course, some are looking to criticize any pastor who uses non-traditional methods. My online presence makes me even more prone to attract critics. I have to not only be careful what I say, but the way I say it. For example, if I use the term "my church" I get criticized by some who gently (sometimes not so gently) remind me that it's not my church, but Jesus' church.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Okay, okay, I hear you, but regardless of the methods we use, God has given us responsibility in Kingdom-building; in disciple-making. I personally recognize the opportunities we now have to use our influence in social media to advance the cause of Christ online. I've been doing online ministry for over 15 years, and as with anything I do, I want to do it to the best of my ability. Scripture is clear that whatever we do, we should do it to the glory of God. Being effective online means I need to build a platform from which to leverage that online influence to the highest potential. Therein also lies the tension.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>That's why I find <a href='http://michaelhyatt.com'><span style='color:blue; text-decoration:underline'>Michael Hyatt</span></a>'s new book<em>
<a href='http://michaelhyatt.com/platform'><span style='color:blue; text-decoration:underline'>Platform</span></a></em> to be especially helpfulto pastors and anyone else wanting to use their influence for good.</strong> Whether as a pastor, a non-profit leader, or an individual who wants to advance a worthy cause, the insight Michael offers in<em>
<a href='http://michaelhyatt.com/platform'><span style='color:blue; text-decoration:underline'>Platform</span></a></em> will help you build a better and bigger audience and allow you to make the most of your God-given talents. Michael not only knows how to build a strong platform, but, having sat with him and heard his heart, he lives his life with Kingdom purpose. I can learn from a guy with that underlying motivation.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Honestly, I've said consistently, if I could leave my name off my blog I would, but people today need to know who is behind a message. For that, one needs a platform. Michael helps you do that.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Michael is the master of platform building, having built his personal brand to an exceptional level over the last few years. Michael has positioned himself as an expert in social media and leadership. Much of that has come through his willingness to invest in others, which is how I became familiar with Michael. I've been blessed by our time together and his investment in me.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>It should come as no surprise that with the launch of <a href='http://michaelhyatt.com/platform'><span style='color:blue; text-decoration:underline'><em>Platform</em></span></a>, Michael would want to give his readers more. <strong>For those who purchase the book between May 21 and midnight on May 25, Mike is giving away $375.98 in bonus resources for Platform. Wow!</strong> How do you beat that deal?

I really appreciate how you seem to put so many tools in our hands! I needed this one, right now! I do understand that call to online ministry. I am so compelled to be online by God. I sense it is an open door for a season for all of us and we need to step through it when He asks. I also struggle with doing my best, I want to more than ever, be a bright light online for God, but it is such an unchartered way and I have made mistakes and grown from them. I created a website and God has blessed it tremendously, more than I could ever have hoped for or imagined and now I have finished my 1st book, so I am right where I so needed this wisdom. I am sooooo finite.... it scares me... LOL... I need the Infinite wisdom and favor of God and I know He will equip me for what He has called me too! I ordered the book. Thank you!

</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you. Amplified Bible

</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Some put money or the world's system of commerce before God. But the Bible states in Revelation 18 that if we put our trust in money, it's going to fail. I've found that the way to deal with money, instead of struggling with it, is to try and out-give God...because we can't.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>The more we give away, the more we'll receive. The more we obey Him with our finances, the more He blesses us. The more we do for other people, the more God has other people do for us.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Society tells us to invest everything in the world's system and work all the time to make more money. But if we do, we'll really never have anything that matters, especially joy. And we won't be able to enjoy the money we have because we won't be using it God's way.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>It may not make sense according to the world's system, but God doesn't want you to simply make money and hoard it away. God says that by giving it away, you will have more in the end. I challenge you to increase your generosity today. Trust me, you can't out-give God.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Prayer Starter: God, Your plan for my finances isn't like the world's, but I know that when I give the way You tell me to, You will take care of me. My money is Yours and I will use it as You see fit.

</span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#00b050; font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:16pt'><strong>That is so true! I do believe we all have to guard against hoarding because the generation we are living through is experiencing great financial downward spirals. When we get nervous about the things we are seeing, we tend to hoard. I know I did. I even rationalized that I should not tithe, how stupid is that! I truly have seen it and believe it that the more we give more God blesses. It is so true, I have experienced it.

</span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#00b050; font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:14pt'>The bible is clear about so many issues and we know all about what the bible says, but we still don't believe God. God is loving, caring and ALL-IN with us, and we know that, but we don't truly believe it. It is not an issue with not knowing enough, it is an issue of a lack of faith in God.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#00b050; font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:14pt'>Encouragement from others helps us to get up when we fall down, it helps us fight the relentlessness of our enemy to keep us down. The enemy knows that his control over us is limited once we start to choose right thoughts. God wants me to start thinking better, start thinking more Godly, pleasing Him with my thought life. My thought life needs to be in subjection to the Holy Spirit. I see this now, I see it clearly that my thought life is the foundation to many of my impulsive behaviors and the root of this is a lack of faith, doubt and unbelief. My enemy wants to hinder me with his stinking thinking, he wants to fill my mind with self condemnation, guilt and discouragement. The choice is mine whether I let those thoughts grow into mind-sets that filter into my behavior or whether I choose to think Godly thoughts, to use my thought life to please God.

Help me Holy Spirit, I need to change this in my life. I need to think to please YOU, Lord God. I need to make my mind a pleasant place for You to dwell in Holy Spirit, I need to control my thought life. I pray for YOUR Help. Lead me in this Holy Spirit. I promise you I will follow the lead You have begun by meditating on scripture and creating a Godly Thought life from my meditation on scripture.

Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice], 4 So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit].5 For those who are according to the flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and seek those things which gratify the [Holy] Spirit.6 Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever].7 [That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God's Law; indeed it cannot.8 So then those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him.9 But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you]. But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God]. 10 But if Christ lives in you, [then although] your [natural] body is dead by reason of sin and guilt, the spirit is alive because of [the] righteousness [that He imputes to you].

</strong></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Unfortunately, there are those who use religion to get their way. It may be a single adult who preys on another unsuspecting single adult in a church. They attend church to take advantage of trusting souls. Some businessmen use the art of Christian conversation to give the appearance of values and principles based on the Bible. However, once they make the sale or close the deal, their self-serving and dishonest ways reveal them.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>One of the worst types of deception is spiritual deception, using God to get our way. In marriage it may be the husband who uses submission to control his wife, or a wife who uses grace to withhold from her husband. Therefore, warn those who, like Simon in the early church, try to buy the Holy Spirit for their benefit. Cultivate authentic spirituality in your heart and mind through prayer, worship, and community.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#0070c0'>"Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence."</span>
<span style='color:#984806'>Colossians 2:23
</span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>True spirituality on the other hand is motivated and controlled by the Spirit of Christ. In this case there is authenticity because Almighty God is the initiator. True spirituality is not just looking out for itself, but is sincerely concerned with serving others. You are comfortable with them, because you know they care for you. Integrity rises in all their business and religious activities.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Their yes is their yes, and their no is their no. There are no surprises. What you see is what you get. <strong><em>True spirituality comes over time, forged on the anvil of adversity, taught at the hearth of humility, and received at the gate of God's grace.</em></strong> You know your religion is real when you love others above your own needs and you care for the poor and needy. True spirituality leads others to love God and obey His commands.

Can you point to any pivotal days in y our life, a day and a happening that everything changed. In Ester's case, God began to work in her difficult circumstance. Being taken into the King's palace meant that Ester would most likely never leave the place. If she pleased the King she would be made queen and live in the palace.

It was a choice in her situation to go with her womanly "charms" or to let God make a way for her. It was her genuine kindness that caught the attention of the King, it was not finite that captured his attention, it was the Infinite Favor of God. We can't "charm" our way in this life, we must develop the Godly characteristics of His Holy Spirit and be led by HIS FAVOR. The ways of the Kingdom of God are not our natural reaction when things suddenly change in our lives, shaking up the future we have planned here. But as we get more rooted in the Kingdom of God, the response to our "suddenly situations" become more supernatural, less focused on gain here, more focused on our future and hope. We "grow through" situations without the weight of earthly perception and can clearly step into the purposes of God in play in our now as we set our gaze on our future and hope. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain, therefore our fleshly grip on this life is loosened and we can be used by God with greater clarity of His purpose at hand that is always Kingdom related.

A kind heart is not a natural human condition, it has to come from a Spirit that is completely given over to God to His Kingdom plan. Kindness comes out of selflessness, which to me is a fruit of a will surrendered completely to God. Kindness is a symptom of a heart surrendered, a will leaning into the Sovereign Sway of God. If I am vested here in this world instead of invested in the Kingdom of God, I will not walk in the kindness that is truly genuine, I will have a worldly charm that does not extend past my comfort zone. Charm can only extend itself to the point of the object of my comfort, it does not stretch past the objects wants, it serves the human nature. God's Kindness, knows no human bounds, it is willing to sacrifice all, it serves no human condition as it stretches past the finite worldly capability to the Infinite characteristic of Kingdom life, taking on God's nature. Charm is a façade of a people pleaser, kindness is a genuine trait of a God pleaser. Kindness is a sure sign of living deeper than for now, roots established in Kingdom soil

Every season on this earth has a challenge that is worked out in God purposes for the intent of building His character in us and rooting us in His Kingdom. When you feel you can't stand another day in this season of life, God is working in the unseen and purposefully stripping you of a worldly trait and shaping in you a Kingdom characteristic. Towards the end of every season we always feel so vulnerable and this causes a spiritual restlessness that we have to discipline ourselves not to impulsively react to. Discipling our flesh is responding with trust, hope and faith and not moving forward out of our discomfort, unless compelled by the Holy Spirit. There may not be enough light to see ahead, we need to walk step by step in the Light God purposefully provides. If we kindle our own fire and walk by the light of this fire, it builds a personal comfort zone that does not stretch past our finite human condition. God wants to stretch our tent pegs past what is comfortable into the unknown, because it is here in complete followship of Him, that we grow in Kingdom character. Persevering in the flow of God's Kingdom purposes is a finite discipline when anchored to Christ's Sufficiency, always pays off in Infinite breakthrough to Kingdom living. Pressing through our comfort zone of self sufficiency and leaning into the Sovereign Sway of God is disciplining our flesh is shedding our finite and gaining more of Kingdom Infinite. More of YOU, Jesus, Less of ME, more of Your Kingdom Jesus, less of this world. Let it be so! I can't do life through my own self sufficiency, it is never enough. I can simply-significantly be found in a Kingdom sufficiency, rooted in Christ Jesus and His Great Kingdom Of God! AWE-GOD

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>If you are invested in the Kingdom of God more than this world, you will know a self sufficiency greater than one the world can imagine or ever hope to give. Contentment is not easy to come by in this world. Our culture lives in a harried state of discontentment. We are never satisfied, it is the human condition. No matter what happens that is good for us, it is never enough, we always want more.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Satisfy yourself! Get all you can get! Do whatever makes you the happiest! Pleasure yourself at all costs with a whatever attitude towards the consequences. We crave self sufficient independence that feeds on getting our "more than enough" Our culture doesn't help, it cranks out every kind of variety of the things of life to help try to satisfy our insatiable human wants!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>We never have what it takes personally to keep up with the enticements of this world. The craving we have to experience every flavor of life never stops, yet even so, when the latest and greatest has been procured, having it "ALL" never satiates our hungering for more.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Jesus Christ is the self sufficiency to our "More Than Enough" and His Kingdom is our "Completely Enough", were we find the strength to live and have our being! The Kingdom of God is a soil of satisfaction with ONE Object of desire, Jesus Christ. As our desire for Jesus grows foremost, our self-sufficiency is fed with His abundant sufficiency. He is simply-significantly enough. We become content with a Kingdom Culture that is unchangeable in power, glory and strength; instead of a worldly culture whose enticement feeds on our carnal "want" nature and never seems to satisfy us.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Contentment and self sufficiency is never achieved as we invest more and more in this world and we become a self centered, dissatisfied, disappointed people!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy, three things that are so necessary for Godly contentment. It is these things that God seems to work in us through hard seasons of human discipline, design and fabricate in our human condition, a Christ sufficiency, a strength beyond finite measure.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God uses long seasons of finite discipline to shape us Infinite sufficiency! Our human condition is stretched further than we can imagine or think we can endure during theses purposeful God seasons of our life. The timing of our seasonal life changes is always perfect in God purpose with a mission of transitioning our finite strength into Infinite Sufficiency. Every season on this earth has a challenge that is worked out in God purposes flowing in our lives in His Way, which is pretty much never the way we would have chosen. God's purposes flow in our lives in so many creative ways, on His purpose, for the intent of building His character in us and rooting us in His Kingdom, His Infinite Sufficiency.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The endgame of God is to dead end our finite strength in weakness that when infused by His Infinite Sufficiency, has an unmistakable Kingdom Glory Glow, that overtakes the finite mess with a Kingdom message. God has an endgame, a spiritual bookend to this season of your life and with purposeful timing, He will place it. Transition time is near when you feel you can't stand another day in this season of life! God is working in the unseen and purposefully stripping you of a worldly trait and shaping in you a Kingdom Characteristic steeped in Infinite Sufficiency.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Towards the end of every season our feeling of finite vulnerability is ramped up! This heightened state of soul emotion, causes a deep spiritual restlessness and we have to discipline ourselves, activating the gift of self control, to keep us from not impulsively reacting finitely! Premature breakout from the discipline of God while His purposes are still in play for us does not bring us to a God Break-Through! If we run from finishing what God started in this season of our life, He will bring us full circle right back to that place, because His endgame is our Infinite Sufficiency, our weaknesses being found in HIS Infinite Sufficiency and He will finish what He starts in this season of our lives. He will bookend this season of my life with a mind set of His Infinite Sufficiency!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Discipling our flesh is responding with trust, hope and faith and not moving forward out of our finite discomfort, unless compelled by the Holy Spirit. In the transition time, there may not be enough light to see ahead, and we need to depend upon the Infinite Sufficiency of the Holy Spirit and learn to walk step by step in the Light God purposefully provides. If we kindle our own finite fire and walk by the light of this man made fire, it builds a personal comfort zone that does not stretch past our finite human condition and it's sufficiency will flame out, leaving us completely tortured by the hopelessness of the dark in a time of transition. Not Good! This is a great wisdom warning to keep in our spirit, to help us stay put in the flow of God's Infinite Sufficiency during times of seasonal transition:

</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Did God reject His people! No! God does not reject those Who He foreknew. People try to kill us, God always has a remnant chosen by grace not works, grace is not grace through works. God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they could not see or ears that they could not hear. Eyes darkened so that they could not see. Will bent forever. Did they stumble beyond recovery, no… because of their transgression, salvation came to the gentiles. Their fullness will bring great riches as they accept Jesus Christ. Arose people to envy to save some of them. Acceptance is life from the dead. If the part of the dough is holy, all of it is holy. If a wild olive shoot is grated in, it shares in the nourishing of the root that supports you. Branches were broken off so I could be grated in, broken off by unbelief so you could be grated in. Do not be arrogant towards the Jews, because there disobedience caused them to be broken off and caused us to be grafted into The Vine. God wants us to continue in His kindness, if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grated back in. The natural branches will be grafted into their own olive tree when they accept Jesus. Israel has experienced a hardening until all the gentiles are grafted n the deliverer will come. God extended His mercy to the gentiles because of the disobedience of the Jews. We received mercy because of their disobedient hardened hearts, they have become disobedient to receive the mercy given to us because of their disobedience. God will have mercy on us all. Who has known the mind of the Lord and been His counselor. To Him is all things, to Him be the glory forever. AMEN!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Years ago I was serving on a team where there was a consistent idea killer. Whenever anyone on the team presented an idea, regardless of the idea's merit, this person would shoot it down. It was annoying, but was allowed to continue by leadership. Everyone talked about it outside of the meetings, no one respected the idea killer, and even the leader admitted it was a problem for the team, but he insisted he had counseled with this person privately, and it never seemed to improve.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>It led me to the conclusion: Sometimes as a leader you have to address the "elephant in the room"…in the room. Everyone knows it's there. You can't miss an elephant. It keeps being repeated. You've handled it individually. Nothing has changed. It may even be getting worse.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>At some point, the leaders may have to address the elephant in the room.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>You can't ignore the elephant. While everyone is in the room, address the elephant.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>You may have to call out the person causing the disruption in the presence of everyone else in the room. It's hard, uncomfortable, and you don't want to do it often, but it may be necessary.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>If you don't. Everyone will assume poor performance is tolerated. The negative activity will be copied by others. Team dynamics will never be healthy. Address the elephant!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Everyone already knows it's there. You can't hide the elephant. Do I need to repeat that again?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>It's time. Do it now. Have you ever served on a team where the elephant wasn't addressed and it negatively impacted the team?

</span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#00b050; font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:16pt'><strong>Yes and this is such good wisdom that I learned the hard way! Thank you! My experience with this was life changing. A staff person was hired ie.. "elephant". I was the administrative secretary that served under the old staff person. I had all the relationships with the team. It became evident right away that the "spiritual mask of overestimated ability" of the "elephant" would not stand up to the reality of the task they were hired for. The elephant's God-walk did not line up with the elephant's talk-the life style did not match Godly living. Therefore the ministry team came to me individually bothered by what they were seeing and experiencing and I did my best to soothe them, knowing that things were not right. I took it to my core director, he said, his executive director was the one who hired the "elephant" and I needed to "grow with" that decision and trust it and not talk negative about the "elephant" to him again and if I could not do that, I needed to go. His perspective was my loyalty to the old staff person, impaired my judgment to the new one. So in every staff meeting I sat with the reality that I knew something was spiritually wrong with the "elephant" and never confronted the "elephant" or what we were experiencing in the life of our ministry team for fear of losing my job. I never confronted what I knew was dangerous behavior; I never took it to our core staff group. All hell broke loose and that "elephant" ended up crashing and burning… hurting the reputation of the ministry and the church and costing thousands of dollars. I felt responsible for not taking that next step after I took it to my core director, who was unwilling to see that the executive director had misjudged this "elephant"! I did not have the courage to confront the "elephant" in the core staff meeting, where there was safety set up in a multitude of counselors.

My mind is drawn to musing over pressing issues at work that never seem to go away. My heart engages in emotional cares for others in crisis that I am unable to control.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Behold, a new day is dawning! Let not the sound of war and discord deafen your ears to My message; for I would speak to you a word of encouragement and would bring you tidings of hope. I say to You, My little children, I have not gone away never to return; but I will surely come , yes even at a time when you feel the least expectation and when many have become engrossed in the problems of the hour.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Lo, I say to you, My beloved ones, do not become centered in the problems of the world; but look up, for surely your deliverance is near.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>My ageless purposes are set in Eternity. Time is as a little wheel set within the big wheel of Eternity.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The little wheel turns swiftly and one day will cease. The big wheel turns not, but goes straight forward. Time is your responsibility – Eternity is Mine! You shall move into the place of the big wheel when the little wheel is left behind. See now that you redeem the time, making use of it for the purposes of My eternal Kingdom, this investing it with something of the quality of the big wheel. As you do this, your days shall not be part of that which turns and dies, but of that which goes straight forward and becomes one with My great universe.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Fill your days with light, love and testimony. Glorify and honor My Name. Praise and delight yourself in the Lord. So will eternity inhabit your heart and you will deliver your soul from the bondages of time.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>You will experience a liberation from the pressures of time and you will in your own heart slow down the little wheel. You will find a new kind of rest. You will have a foretaste of the Sabbbath rest, into which the whole earth will enter before long. When this times comes, I Myself will slow down the little wheel of time and there will be an adjustment and it will be as it was in the beginning.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The pressures of time has increased as sin has increased and all too often My children have been found living more in the little wheel than in the big. This happens whenever the flesh is in ascendency to the Spirit. When the opposite is true, you have always experienced a fleeting but glorious freedom from the racing little wheel. Is it not true? You have found the Spirit always unhurried and you have marveled to find how oblivious you have been to the passage of time, whenever you have truly been in the Spirit. You can live here as much as you choose. You can disengage from the earthly wheel as often as you desire. You will lose nothing and gain much. Try it as therapy for your physical body. Always it will be a source of energy and vitality for your spiritual life.

The Holy Spirit is on Infinite Time and therefore is not in a hurry, but is working in our lives according to Kingdom purpose.

</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven: 2 A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted, 3 A time to kill and a time to heal, a time to break down and a time to build up, 4 A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 A time to get and a time to lose, a time to keep and a time to cast away, 7 A time to rend and a time to sew, a time to keep silence and a time to speak, 8 A time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. 9 What profit remains for the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen the painful labor and exertion and miserable business which God has given to the sons of men with which to exercise and busy themselves. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men's hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to be glad and to get and do good as long as they live;
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>13 And also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God. 14 I know that whatever God does, it endures forever; nothing can be added to it nor anything taken from it. And God does it so that men will [reverently] fear Him [revere and worship Him, knowing that He is]. 15 That which is now already has been, and that which is to be already has been; and God seeks that which has passed by [so that history repeats itself]. 16 Moreover, I saw under the sun that in the place of justice there was wickedness, and that in the place of righteousness wickedness was there also. 17 I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time [appointed] for every matter and purpose and for every work. 18 I said in my heart regarding the subject of the sons of men, God is trying (separating and sifting) them, that they may see that by themselves [under the sun, without God] they are but like beasts. 19 For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even [in the end] one thing befalls them both. As the one dies, so dies the other. Yes, they all have one breath and spirit, so that a [a]man has no preeminence over a beast; for all is vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility)! 20 All go to one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 21 Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goes downward to the earth? 22 So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his portion. For who shall bring him back to see what will happen after he is gone?

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> Ecclesiastes 3:19 Does the Bible really teach that "a man has no preeminence over a beast"? No! The Bible only records that the book of Ecclesiastes says it. Then why is this book in the Bible? Can it possibly be called inspired by God when it makes such "under the sun" pronouncements, some only partially true, others entirely false? Here is the tested answer: "Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching ... reproof... correction, for instruction... in righteousness." (II Tim. 3:16 asv.) The divine purpose in including Ecclesiastes in the Bible is obvious. <span style='color:red; text-decoration:underline'><strong>It gives a startling picture of how fatal it is for even the wisest of men to substitute man's "wisdom" for God's wisdom, and to attempt to live by it.</strong></span> Solomon's reign began with God, gold, and glory. It ended with bafflement, brass, and bewildered acceptance of man's having "no preeminence over a beast"!—man, who was made "in the image and likeness of God" (Gen. 1:27) and "but little lower than God [or heavenly beings]"! (Ps. 8:5.)

They seem to start out with unity, single-minded vision and even somewhat godly laws and governing principles. This is true of even secular societies.

</span></p><p style='margin-left: 72pt'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>And we're watching this pattern play out right before our eyes in the United States of America
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> It starts with boredom and ends with destruction. And perhaps the most difficult part to take is how easily predictable and preventable this all is—yet, at the same time—seemingly unavoidable.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Does the Bible talk about this breakdown anywhere?
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Yes, several places—and one is right in the book we are studying as a church right now—Ecclesiastes. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 it says, <em>"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet<sup>[<a href='http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecc.%203:10-15&version=NIV;ESV'><span style='color:blue; text-decoration:underline'>a</span></a>]</sup> no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." </em>Every person understands innately, intuitively that he is an eternal creature. While he may suppress that knowledge (Romans 1), instinctively he knows that eternity is part of his spiritual DNA and understanding—a perception that there is more to this life than meets the eye.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>But it's the second half of that verse that causes problems for so many—the, "<em>yet<sup>[<a href='http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecc.%203:10-15&version=NIV;ESV'><span style='color:blue; text-decoration:underline'>a</span></a>]</sup> no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end."—part. </em>We may know that we are eternal beings and that there is more to life then just the here and now, but for a lot of people, the fact that we cannot figure out much more than that without faith is just too narrow-minded of God. So we strike out on our own to find answers rather than accepting God's truth. And while we search anywhere and everywhere but God's Word, we also keep fighting to push down the obvious, inherent knowledge of God within us all. And the modern catalyst for this rebellion seems to be nothing more than boredom. We get tired of the predictability of life and set out to spice things up a bit and sadly, most feel that can best be done when God's not around (newsflash: He's always around).
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Once we give into this, the breakdown has begun—a domino affect has started and it's very difficult to stop. Here's the whole process in scriptural nutshell,
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#984806; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt; text-decoration:underline'><strong> Romans 1:18-32
</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><em>"<sup>18 </sup>The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, <sup>19 </sup>since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. <sup>20 </sup>For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
</em></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><em><sup>21 </sup>For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. <sup>22 </sup>Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools <sup>23 </sup>and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
</em></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><em><sup>24 </sup>Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. <sup>25 </sup>They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
</em></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><em><sup>26 </sup>Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. <sup>27 </sup>In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
</em></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><em><sup>28 </sup>Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. <sup>29 </sup>They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, <sup>30 </sup>slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; <sup>31 </sup>they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. <sup>32 </sup>Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."</em>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Pay careful attention to these 2 verses,
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><em> "<sup>26 </sup>Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. <sup>27 </sup>In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."
</em></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>This is talking about the breakdown of one of God's most cherished and holy institutions—marriage. Notice how there is first a rebellion against God. People started worshiping other gods. Next, it manifests itself in immorality—specifically, homosexuality.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'> In the end, even truth itself becomes a nebulous fog (today we call it relativism) and before you know it—anything goes. And friends, when 'anything goes,' it won't be long before 'everything goes.'
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Satan's not all that creative. The tricks and patterns have been the same since the very first man and woman in the garden. Yes, he's not very creative, but he's amazingly consistent and determined and he'll keep executing the same game plan as long as the game plan keeps executing societies.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Today you can throw a wrench in his tried and true plan—at least as far as North Carolina is concerned. Go out today and vote FOR the amendment to the state constitution that protects marriage and let's see if we can't stem the tide at least a little bit longer.

</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Life is often the summation of darkness and light. One job of a leader is to bring more light into the world of those around them. This can obviously be done in a variety of ways, but it isn't as easy as it sounds. <strong>Leaders must to learn how to deal with their own internal shadows in order to bring light out of their own lives.
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>In his book, <a target='_blank' href='http://www.amazon.com/Let-Your-Life-Speak-Listening/dp/0787947350/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336401804&sr=8-1'><span style='color:blue; text-decoration:underline'>Let Your Life Speak</span></a>, Parker Palmer evaluates 5 shadows (chapter 5 of the book) that must be explored in order for internal transformation to take place. In life and in leadership, the shadows can often overtake us to the point where we get lost in the darkness of our own lives and begin to reflect the darkness onto those around us. This is our opportunity to dive into the depths of our own inner lives in order for God to more greatly work in us, and in turn, those we have influence with.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Insecurity About Identity and Worth</strong>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Few things are more powerful than what gives us our identities. Our online persona, our pastoral influence behind the pulpit, the number of people who want to spend time with us—all this can slowly create an identity bound up with what we do, not who we are. Before we are leaders with a position and a title, we are first children of God. We are loved and valued as beings created by God. When this fact roots us, what happens at home, at work, at school—all of it is put in its rightful place in life.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Seeing Life as a Battleground</strong>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>I'm an extremely competitive person. The games I play that have a clear winner and loser, I play to the death. Subsequently I can tend to view life and ministry similarly. What can often keep me motivated is a fear of losing. <strong>The problem with an internal belief of life as a battleground is that it builds walls between us the and the people we should be extending bridges to.
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>In leadership there are times when hard decisions need to be made and stark lines must be drawn in the sand, but often getting over our need to win will allow us to bring harmony to our relationships.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Functional Atheism</strong>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Craig Groeschel did a wonderful job of describing all the ways <a target='_blank' href='http://www.amazon.com/The-Christian-Atheist-Believing-Living/dp/0310332222/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336402685&sr=8-1'><span style='color:blue; text-decoration:underline'>we believe in God but live as if He didn't exist</span></a>. <strong>Functional atheism within leadership is a deep-seated understanding that all of life is dependent on us and our abilities.</strong> We often convince ourselves that if things must happen, we will be the ones to do it. And the result of this mindset is burnout, depression, and poor relationships. Overcoming this shadow allows us to rely on others, which empowers them and liberates us from our own atheistic world.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Fear of Chaos</strong>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>I know many leaders, including myself, who speak of messiness as a reality of the spiritual life, but operate in their leadership as if messy was the cardinal sin. <strong>The lesson often learned in exploring this shadow is that chaos is the beginning of creativity and, in turn, creation.
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Palmer says that the "when a leader fears chaos so deeply as to try to eliminate it, the shadow of death will fall across everything that leader approaches."
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Denial of Death</strong>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>We all know them: the pastors who won't let a ministry die. More than likely we've each held onto our hopes for a failing ministry longer than we should have. Our intentions are correct, but by denying death we put unnecessary demands on others to continue breathing life for the sake of accommodating our own insecurity. Here's the truth we often miss in covering up our insecurity: Death always creates conditions in which new life can be birthed.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>In our heads we know death does not have the final victory, but in our hearts we remain concerned that death reflects poorly on our leadership. And this connects back to the beginning: Where is our identity and value found?

"Fix It Myself Shadow" Everything must succeed in the way "I" planned for it to go. If it doesn't, I will fix it until it does. EXHAUSTING! God's ways, very nearly never go the way we plan and with great purpose for many people that is INFINITELY SO! When the "fix it" mentality shadows the Sovereignty of God's purposes in play, the end result is stagnant leadership void of growth, leadership growing inward-downward instead of outward-upward. The question is: Am I pressing into the "ministry task" at hand or am I pressing into God, fully facing God? Have I compartmentalized God to "do" His work and I will "do" mine? Or am I ALL-IN with "being" His and knowing, He's Got This no matter what way my administrative planning works out, His fine-tuned purposeful adjustment is better. Go with His flow, step into His Kingdom purposes and stop living life out of the "finite details" instead of the "Infinite Purposes" of God. I hope huge, I have left this shadow behind me forever!! More of YOU Jesus, Less of me – More of YOUR Kingdom Jesus, less of this world! More Infinite – Less Finite!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Pearls are formed when a small grain of sand becomes embedded in an oyster, irritating it. To soften the irritation, the oyster coats the grain of sand with a smooth layer of what is called mother of pearl. As long as the oyster can feel the irritation, it continues to coat the sand with layers of pearl. What kind of irritation would have been necessary to form the pearls that make up the gates to our heavenly city when they are so large they can fit into a wall that is two hundred feet thick?! It must have been more than just irritation. It must have been horrendous, severe suffering!

I have some letting go and growing to do when it comes to The Kingdom of God, my real home, the place where I do belong forever. You want to increase in me and I need to decrease in my reliance on my human condition. Finite giving into Infinite! I also realize it is all about Your Kingdom too. For so long I have wanted more of YOU and Less of Me, but now, I feel you stretching that, in fact I can see that this next season of my life, You will be teaching me to let go of this world in my heart, completely and be ALL-In with the Kingdom of God, where I belong. This fast and this time apart is truly showing me the lack I have in that area. It is time to be fully invested in my real home, The Kingdom of God, to be not only all in with YOU, but all in with my citizenship in the Kingdom of God. I know without a doubt, You, Holy Spirit will teach me this in my next season of this great God adventure called Salvation! AWE-GOD! I know you will teach me how to bloom here without digging my roots here, by clinging to YOU and digging my roots in kingdom soil. It seems like a paradox. How can you bloom where you are temporary planted without having roots here? Well, I know one thing that gives me hope that I can learn this and that is YOU, Lord God are the Master of Paradoxical living, where common sense is thrown out and Kingdom understanding lives. So I look forward to this new season of growth, expecting and anticipating nothing that I can comprehend, but by Your Spirit, knowing that you will help me discern the paradoxical truth and live by the miracle of Kingdom wisdom! AWE-GOD! I am Yours, I am part of the Bride of Christ. I have a home in Your Kingdom that You have gone to prepare for me. I am putting my YES on the table… I will to do Your will, to learn of Your ways.

That is why you can't say, 'My god-idol did this.' 'My favorite god-carving commanded this.' You have all this evidence confirmed by your own eyes and ears. Shouldn't you be talking about it?

<span style='color:#002060'>13-16That same day two of them were walking to the village Emmaus, about seven miles out of Jerusalem. They were deep in conversation, going over all these things that had happened. In the middle of their talk and questions, Jesus came up and walked along with them. But they were not able to recognize who he was. 17-18He asked, "What's this you're discussing so intently as you walk along?" They just stood there, long-faced, like they had lost their best friend. Then one of them, his name was Cleopas, said, "Are you the only one in Jerusalem who hasn't heard what's happened during the last few days?" 19-24He said, "What has happened?" They said, "The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene. He was a man of God, a prophet, dynamic in work and word, blessed by both God and all the people. Then our high priests and leaders betrayed him, got him sentenced to death, and crucified him.</span>

And it is now the third day since it happened. But now some of our women have completely confused us. Early this morning they were at the tomb and couldn't find his body. They came back with the story that they had seen a vision of angels who said he was alive. Some of our friends went off to the tomb to check and found it empty just as the women said, but they didn't see Jesus."

</span></p><p><span style='font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia'>"You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you."</span><span style='font-family:Times New Roman'>
</span><span style='color:#984806; font-family:Georgia; text-decoration:underline'><strong>Psalm 63:1-3
</strong></span></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12pt'><span style='font-family:Times New Roman'>The God of the universe looks for those who would be with Him. The Lord longs for His children to take time to experience His tender loving presence. Almighty God is not needy, but wants His creation to come before Him in humble dependence. He knows prayer is what's best for those He bought with His son's blood. Generosity toward God in daily doses of solitude and communion are the wisest gift. Our presence gratifies God.<br/>Like an earthly father revels in the joy of being close to his precious child, so our heavenly Father smiles to see us—His children—sit next to Him. The grace of God is not garnered with a drive-by life. Rather, when we park our lives in His presence and turn off the engine of our activity, we activate His perspective in our heart and mind. We invest in intimacy with our heavenly Father in order to fulfill His agenda in our daily calendar.<br/></span><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia'>"For day after day they seek me out; they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right and has not forsaken the commands of its God. They ask me for just decisions and seem eager for God to come near them."</span><span style='font-family:Times New Roman'>
</span><span style='color:#984806; font-family:Georgia; text-decoration:underline'><strong>Isaiah 58:2</strong></span><span style='font-family:Times New Roman'><br/>Furthermore, be careful not to slip into a routine of perfunctory prayers that miss the heart of your Master. Your generosity toward Jesus with your time, doesn't buy you time to do your own thing. Rather, you engage with Christ, so that He can love you to better understand His heart, and embrace His better way. By exposing your life to the Lord, He bathes your behavior with a body wash of grace and holiness.<br/>Your generosity toward God in your time with Him can take on a variety of applications. Maybe you commune with Christ as you walk alone in a stoic cathedral, or perhaps you celebrate Jesus in raucous worship with other Christ followers at Sunday church services. You may engage Him as you stroll in your neighborhood, sit by a quiet fire, rest by a bubbling creek, or as you watch His heavenly handiwork in a brilliant sunrise or sunset. Above all else, be still, know He is God, be loved by Him, and then love on His behalf!<br/></span><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia'>"He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."</span><span style='font-family:Times New Roman'>

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Almighty God, just because He is almighty, needs no support. The picture of a nervous, ingratiating God fawning over men to win their favor is not a pleasant one, yet if we look at the popular conception of God that is what we precisely see. A.W. Tozer

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>So lofty is our opinion of ourselves that we find it quite easy, not to say enjoyable, to believe that we are necessary to God. But the truth is that God is not greater for our being, nor would he care less if we did not exist. That we do exist is altogether of God's free determination, not by our desert nor by divine necessity.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Probably the hardest thought of all for our natural egotism to entertain is that God does not need our help. A.W. Tozer
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God needs no defenders. He is the eternal Undefended. A God who must be defended is one who can help us only while someone is helping Him. We may count upon Him only if He wins in the cosmic seasaw battle between right and wrong. Such a God could not command the respect of intelleigent men; He could only excite their pity. To be right we must think worthily of God. It is morally imperative that we purge from our minds all ignoble concepts of the Deity and let Him be the God in our minds that He is in His universe. A. W. Tozer
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The Christian religion has to do with God and man, but its focal point is God, not man. Man's only claim to importance is that he was created in the divine image; in himself he is nothing. A. W.Tozer
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>To communicate with us in an idiom we can understand, God in the Scriptures make full use of the military terms; but surely it was never intended that we should think of the throne of the Majesty on high as being under siege, with Michael and his hosts or some other heavenly beings defending it from stormy overthrow.

Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never "become one." There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for "becoming one" with another. Or didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.

There were even times when trials and tribulations were making my heart harder. And there were many times in my walk with Him when I took on the attitude of other self-serving and self-righteous finger pointers. God forgive us when we do this.</strong></span><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Verdana; font-size:8pt'><strong>Immature believers can be 7 years old or 70 years old (or older). Your chronological age and worldly experiences do not determine your maturity as a Christian. Some people have increased their problems because they have not yet surrendered all to Jesus. They may want to keep some of the worldliness they enjoy. For instance, I know a man and a woman in my own church who are still proud of their temper or ability to hold a grudge. They talk about it a lot, wearing it like a badge of honor rather than shame. Some people have other secret sins that they are very fond of, and they justify their sin by saying "I can't help it. That's just the way I am."</strong></span><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Verdana; font-size:8pt'><strong>If you are a born again believer, this scripture applies to you:</strong></span><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Verdana; font-size:8pt'><strong>1 Peter 1:22-25<br/><span style='color:blue'><em>22 You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sister. Love each other deeply with all your heart. 23 For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. 24 As the Scriptures say, "People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades. 25 But the word of the Lord remains forever." And that word is the Good News (the Gospel) that was preached to you.</em></span></strong></span><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Verdana; font-size:8pt'><strong>I pray today that we will allow the LORD to deliver us from any hindrance that limits our usefulness in His Kingdom. I pray our sins, which He knows so well, will be obvious to us so that we will confess them and repent. Then we will be known as obedient hearts, having purified ourselves for the work of the Lord.</strong></span><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>

God asked me to step aside from what He has set my hands to lately, which is online ministry. This week, I am shutting off Twitter and Facebook and fully facing God. I feel like our lives with God go in seasons... like Ecclesiastics says... a season, a purpose... God's purposes flow seasonally in my life and I feel like this past season is going to be bookmarked this week and He is going to direct me, Holy Align me with this next season, stepping me into the purpose flow of it... I hinder myself by not letting God bookmark my last season and moving on to the new season that He is orchestrating in my life.
</em></strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#00b050; font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:16pt'><strong><em>God is changing things up in some incredible ways in our culture, He doesn't really "need" us to "do" anything. He's Got This. He wants us to "be" found in Him, in followship of Him is where we are prepared by His purposes in play, not for this world, we don't belong here, but for the eternity that He planted in our hearts. I think I make God seem like a weak God when I think God needs me. He doesn't need me. God wants me, He wants to fully embrace my "human condition" so the Glory of His Kingdom can shine out as a "witness" of HIM, just like the creation He created doesn't need any help from us to "testify" of an AWE-GOD. God does not need any help from us to "testify" of His creation in us. All He has asked us to do is believe in HIM and follow Him and go tell of HIM, the rest HE has. We don't have to prove anything. He's Got It. Always has, always will! AWE- Humility- Dependence- Respect - Honor these things seem to get lost from us, The Bride of Christ, as we act and "think" like God is greater for our being and God needs us to defend HIM. Wow... Jesus coming back for a "spotless" Bride, maybe that is a Bride completely glowing in AWE- Humility- Dependence- Respect- Honor of her Bridegroom Who totally has Got This, always has, always will.
</em></strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#00b050; font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:16pt'><strong><em>I am taking this week to strip off everything I think I am in order to "do" for God. God doesn't need me to "do" He needs me to "be"! I need to listen to HIM, to what He is doing, to what He has purposed, because He's Got This planned. He doesn't need me to do it. He wants me to flow within His purposes, that He is bringing forth for His end game. God doesn't need me to prove Him, to help Him do anything. He doesn't need me. I need to be Holy Aligned with the great I AM, and that is simply significantly enough. Knowing HIM, standing in AWE of HIM, respecting HIM, honoring HIM and leaning this human condition humbly into His Sovereign Sway! I want to put on the Wedding Garment of a spotless Bride, waiting actively in the purity and promise of HIS Holiness. It is time for me to put my YES on my heart, to take His promise and be His promised one. Yes, in whatever, for You, I will lean into Your Sovereign Sway, I will be completely Yours, I will be willing to wear white in a grey world, to shine the diamond of His Promise and Truth to a world taken in by the deceptive guarantee of temporary life here instead of taking the Infinite Life offer of The Bridegroom. The Bridegroom has gone to make a place for us, He's Got This. It has been His plan from the beginning, He doesn't need me to implement it, He can, He will. He wants me to be completely HIS, enveloped by HIS Sovereign will, stepping out into the flow of His Kingdom purposes, dressed in the Glory of His Love and Truth. Pure White…. Spotless… Shining as a diamond that has been cut by the Master, sparkling the glory of HIS Radiance in us, He is the Bridegroom, we are the promised Bride of Christ.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Response to reading a book that is purely explicitly pornographic:
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Laura-Leigh wrote: "Friends that have read it told me i have to read it. I was thinking of reading it to if I have time. The whole point of a book is to delve into another world. To take you away from reality. Just like when you watch a movie. If it doesn't fit your beliefs that's fine I understand but you don't read every book to strictly fantasize for your real life. "
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>This is the prevailing attitude where the grey covers up white… if it doesn't fit your beliefs that's fine… this is what needs to change in this culture. It is not fine!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>That's the point. Pornography is not fine. Yes, it does take you into another world, a world that where God is not. It gets in your soul and it perverts everything that is good. I have seen it destroy families, make monsters out of dads, take them to places that you could not even begin to imagine a dad should go, like raping his own child. This book is tell it like it is…. Pornography in writing. Pornography is an open door to death of everything that is good and leads you to a place you never dreamed you would find yourself. Pornography taken lightly is a grave danger for your life and your family. Never underestimate the power of delving into another "world" because that world has an evil to it that comes to steal, kill and destroy you, your family and your future. Would you read this book out loud to Jesus Christ? Because you are! He is in everything. You can't compartmentalize Him, He is in all of life. Pornography is not fine and it doesn't fit anywhere except a garbage can! If you want to take that trash into your soul, that is fine, it is your choice but it is also your consequence. The truth is everything you subject yourself to whether fiction, non fiction, truth or fantasy does affect your real life and everyone in it. Don't blind yourself to the power pornography has over you. It has the power to destroy the innocent. Because "everyone" is doing it, doesn't make it right for you. A true friend would never entice you into something that could eventually hurt you. Sinners love company where truth is willing to stand alone confident in God. This book will affect your real life as you open up yourself to pornography as explicit to this, it will affect you, don't underestimate the power of evil, say no to enticements say YES to God.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The greatest lie of all time was the enemy telling Eve what she was missing out on. Don't believe God, He is holding out on you. In your marriage, where God has made you for him and him for you, you have everything you need to grow, to live, to laugh and to love. You are complete in Christ, you don't need someone's "fantasy life" that is not even based on true reality, to tell you how to live your life.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The deception is that Sex makes the marriage when truly Marriage makes the sex. Your marriage won't be better because of someone else' fantasy sex life. Marriage is love, friendship being lived full out with each other for each other. Friendship that grows deeper with a love inside of you that you never imagined you could have for another person and out of that sex ignites! Reading stuff like this won't help your sex life or your marriage, it just puts unrealistic expectations on you and makes you discontent with what you have and it flip flops sex into being the ALL of marriage. When truly love, friendship is what carries your marriage through the all of the everything that the "fantasy sex life" could never endure! Keep the main thing the main thing. Live-Love-Laugh and live full out with each other and your sex life will follow the passion that you have for one another! You were made for each other, you were not made to mirror someone else's fantasy life. Be content with each other and grow together as God designed for you too. He put you together with great purpose, be content with who you are together because it is simply-significantly enough.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>NOT! I rather be a "read" of the reality of life that God has given me, than read someone else's fiction that is not comparable at all to the life God has for me. I want to live that life and live it to the fullest. My life, the one He designed for me. Think about it married one's with children and "growing through" life none of that is reality the reality is now and what we are experiencing, what they experience will never be your reality. You were born designed by God for your life, for a time such as this, don't desire something that is not yours, desire to be YOU

Do mom's and dad's cry at weddings of their children, do they grieve after their child leaves for college. Did you cry when you watched them try to learn to walk? Did you feel the grief of nostalgia and you took them to their bus stop for the 1<sup>st</sup> day of school, did you cry when the bus pulled off, feel a sense of sadness?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Everything in this life has death and new life built into it. Every stage of life, we lose something, we grieve and we move on to new life. The grief we feel at different times of our lives is so natural, and so important because in this grief, we realize just what God did in that last season of life, we look back with heavenly hindsight and we grieve with hope for what is ahead. I believe God purposefully sets up life in seasons. Something always dies, we grieve, we cling to HIM, we move into the next season of life. From the day our children were born, we have been "growing through" seasons that die, we grieve and then new seasons spring up. I sat in my youngest daughter's room after she left for college for a week and cried my eyes out. Why? God was helping me to let go and move into a new season of life.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>When my first daughter got married that day was so full of joy, laughter and celebrations, the day after, I sat in my rocking chair all day, overcome with grief and sadness and tears flooded my face. Tears are so good, grief is so good for us, because we let go to grow. None of us would grow if we did not have to die to a season of our life and move forward. It hurts and we grieve, and in that grief, it clears our soul, empties us out of the season that is over and prepares us for the season ahead. In April, I was there when my grandson was born to my youngest child. She became a mom! OH MY GOSH! I cried like no other. Happiness, Joy, Sadness… what a paradox we are!!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I am glad you are grieving… does that sound horrible… sorry, but it just shows how invested you have been in that last season of your life, it shows how excellently you have lived for God in that season of your life, because it hurts to move out of it, it shows how much love was invested in it. You have done well, given your all and of course you want to hold on to that season of life, grief is God taking our hands off the assignment and saying, it is time to move to this new season of life. I have got this, now move forward with ME!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The point is letting go, not leaving behind. God is not asking you to leave them behind. He is asking you to let go, He's Got It. You take your hands off the God assignment, you let go, but you don't leave behind. The day we stepped out of 14 years of youth ministry, I wept uncontrollably. I was not leaving that season and all the memories behind, I was bringing the growth of it into my new season of life.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Your relationships grow and they become different, but they remain fully intact with everything you have invested in them paying off. You have done life in front of them, they have watched you do life and learned from you as they grew and you cared for them, at one point they join you and to do life together with you, mirroring you and then they did life, the training wheels coming off while you carefully watched and now they do it. You have done well mom… God assigned you to them, you did your best… now they do it with HIM and you cheer them on.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Have a Happy Mom's day and when you step out of this time of grief, you will be fully charged with God's hope and God's confidence with complete clarity for your new season of life ahead. I can say that assuredly, because I have been there and done it and I know what God can do and He does things in ways that blow your mind, you can never wrap your mind around His ways, but they always, always come out with Kingdom purpose in your life that you could never have begun to hope for or imagine. So yes, I grieve with you, my eyes welled up with tears as I read what your wrote from your heart and I also HOPE HUGE in God with you. Cling to Him with all your life and all your might and dig your roots deeply in His Kingdom soil.

Jesus didn't die so we could live complicated, frustrated, miserable lives. He died for us so we could enjoy life. The minute everything gets complicated, it steals joy. We need to learn how to stop stressing and stop living an excessively busy lifestyle.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The opposite lifestyle is one of simplicity. Simplicity means "single, consisting of one thing, unmingled."

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>That almost sounds too easy, and you might want to complicate it...but don't! God's plan for you is simple. It may not make sense to your mind, but there's nothing complicated about God, and He doesn't want you to be complicated. Come to Him today, saying, "I believe." Make Him your "One Thing."
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Prayer Starter: God, I believe in You. I don't want to live burdened by complications, so today, I seek a life of simplicity by making You the "One Thing" that my life consists of. Lead me in Your simple plan for me.

</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>It's not that I'm fake in those incidents. I love people. I love connecting. I genuinely want to engage with others. It simply doesn't come natural to me.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>As a result of my ability to appear extroverted, a question I receive frequently is: <strong>How do you do it?</strong> How do I appear so extroverted when I am so introverted? (I almost max out that preference on the Myers Briggs.) How do I perform on Sundays…and other days of the week?
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Recently I went through a week of interviews for my <a href='http://www.ronedmondson.com/2012/05/introducing-my-new-ministry-assignment.html'><span style='color:blue; text-decoration:underline'>new ministry assignment</span></a>. I was expected to meet and engage at several affairs each day. I was exhausted, but I kept going. I've never been so extroverted for a week. How did I do that?
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:13pt'><strong>Here are 5 ways I break away from my introversion to perform as an extrovert:
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Prepare mentally</strong> – I have to prep myself before Sunday, for example, that I have a job to do, people are expecting me to engage with them, that it's not going to be easy, but that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. It's a mental exercise before any event where I need to be outgoing.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Act purposeful</strong> – I remind myself that there is a reason to be extroverted in some occasions. Often people are waiting on me to engage them. To be a Kingdom builder, I have to converse with others; even when it's uncomfortable. The reason I am willing to act outside my comfort zone is that I love people more than I love my individual preference or comfort. I have to be purposeful.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Discipline myself</strong> – At some point, I just do it. I simply have to make myself do what I may not want to do. Work the room. Make the initial approach for a new relationship. Talk! Engage! Connect! Do it!
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Practice</strong> – It gets easier with time. It really does.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Reward myself</strong> – After an extremely extroverted occasion…I crash heartily. Sunday afternoon naps are the deepest sleeping I ever have. Plus, my family understands if I'm quieter than normal at Sunday lunch.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:red'>Okay, introverts, your turn. How do you breakout of your introversion when you need to do so?</span>

Spent 14 years in youth ministry, the first four years I felt I was going to pass out every time I had to speak in front of a group of youth. It was so hard, but I kept trusting God, kept obeying, kept stepping out. Yes, I agree it got easier, the more I clung to HIM! One thing I would add is: Deep Expectation Breath! Inhale Jesus' Strength-Exhale My Weakness; Inhale Jesus Ability – Exhale My Lack; Inhale His Confidence In Me; Exhale My Poor Self-Image; With every breath I inhaled expectation in God, exhaled reliance on myself! I could not do it, He could! Even to this day I say to God: "You want me to what? Are you sure"? I am hoping to get to that place where my YES is always on the table before He asks. I know He is hoping I get there one day too! Is there anything too hard for God?!

</span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>It was 1986, in the midst of a three year drought, when two brothers who lived in a kibbutz near the Sea of Galilee made an incredible discovery. As these two fisherman monitored their equipment on the lake, they noticed something glistening in the sun covered in mud. It was a fishing boat. Upon deeper examination, archaeologists determined that these two brothers had discovered an ancient boat from the time of Yeshua (Jesus). It's was called the "Jesus boat" and is now located in a museum next to the Sea of Galilee.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Hidden under water for centuries, the only reason it was discovered was that the severe drought had lowered the lake surface so drastically; so that even when no one was looking for it -- this treasure was discovered totally unexpectedly.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Kimberly, you may have noticed -- it's becoming more and more spiritually dry in this world and sometimes I wonder, will anything good ever come out of this mess? Yet I think the same thing can happen for us as happened to those two fisherman. When things get low, and dry, and sparse, suddenly when we least expect it, God can reveal treasure that we couldn't see or know about because everything was abundantly okay. Maybe it's a friendship that blossoms because of the pressure or need ... or, maybe just a new and deeper insight into the Lord's own sufferings; or maybe a new spiritual gift of encouragement.....there are many possibilities, and I think we ought to be looking for them, though they might appear when we least expect it.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#0070c0'>"But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment, whoever does so destroys himself."</span>
<span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>Proverbs 6:32
</strong></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Lack of judgment can lead to self-destruction. There is an inherent life implosion for those who continue down the path of unwise decision-making. <strong><em>The result of poor judgment is self-destruction; the root of poor judgment is self-deception.</em></strong> Pride seems to pursue and capture those who are unwilling to understand and apply wisdom. They deceive themselves into thinking they have it all figured out, without the counsel and accountability of others.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>For example, adultery is poor judgment, but a sequence of unwise decisions started long before the act of unfaithfulness. Stealing is poor judgment, but the feeling of desperation could have been addressed early on, inspired by personal humility and teachability. Self-destruction can be avoided with openness to Christ and wise counsel. Therefore, listen and learn from those who love you and who love the Lord.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#0070c0'>"It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person than to listen to the song of fools."</span>
<span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>Ecclesiastes 7:5
</strong></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Indeed, poor judgment destroys spiritual vitality, tarnishes the trust of others, and can remove the hand of God's blessing. So <strong><em>how do we avoid poor judgment and its unseemly outcome</em></strong>? One remedy is <strong><em>to repent of self-sufficiency, surrendering in total dependence to our Savior, the Lord Jesus</em></strong> Christ. It is the foundation of faith and hope in Him which fuels our fear of Him, leverages our love for Him, and accelerates our obedience to Him. Self-denial precludes self-deception.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>A second cure is to <strong>invite a reality check from</strong> those who know you well and desire good consequences for your life. Ask for their advice and as you discover themes of timely truth, do what they suggest. Lastly, pray <strong><em>over God's Word, learn from its wisdom, and be transformed by its application</em></strong>. An abundant life awaits you, as you die daily to self and come alive in Christ, act on wise advice, and marinate your mind in Scripture.

God is with us, God is for us and God is in constant conversation with us in the all of our everything HE IS! His Truth Reigns! If your life style contends with HIS creation, He is up for the fight because His Kingdom purposes in play in our lives, far outweigh your petty earthy challenge and contending. He is Infinite, we are finite. We are dust from the earth and to the dust we will return and without HIM, we have no future and hope. Are you sure you want to contend with Almighty God?
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Marriage is a sacred institution created by God for a specific purpose. He chose in a time such as HIS to create marriage of one man and one woman. He designed a man to fit perfectly into a woman and designed a woman to complement the man HE created. He created them both to need each other, to be whole with each other, to be ONE in Him. Marriage is what God set up as the vehicle to create the human race. God designed a man with sperm, a woman with an egg, that when brought together and blessed by God with HIS life, creates a human being and is given life by the Sovereign Plan of our AWE-GOD. Marriage is His sacred creation. Man and Woman were designed by God for it and given everything they needed for it. God knew that Adam the man needed a help mate to complete the creation process and He created Eve out of Adam's rib. The rib is what protects our heart, therefore the woman was created to protect the heart of the family that began with Adam, who God set up as His authority in the family. God created man, God created woman, God joined them in marriage and together God uses these two to create a family.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>If you want to change this, that God created your fight is not with flesh and blood, the principalities and powers to be of this world, your fight is with Almighty God, The Creator of Heaven and Earth. A God Who is defined many times as a God of Love, but that does not even tip the ice berg of WHO HE IS. He is a God of Love and Justice. He is a God of Love And Truth. He is a God of Love and Wrath. He Is A God of Mercy And Judgement. He is the Supreme Authority Of Heaven And Earth. He Created All. He Is – He Was- He Will Be Infinitely So. There is no one and nothing that can stop HIM from being. There is no one who can add to His Word. He Said It. It Is So. If You Want To Change The Institute Of The Sacred Vows Of Marriage That He Defined, That He Set Up With Great Kingdom Purpose, Your Fight Is With Him!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>We are the created, He is the CREATOR. If you have decided to make your own rules and go your own way, then talk to HIM, deal with HIM. He spoke the world into being. He wrote the truth with His knowledge that encompasses the all of time. Do you want to contend with HIM? Do you know more than HIM? Do you think you can do better than HIM? satan did too, he rebelled and was cast out of heaven and his future is written as being cast in the lake of fire forever. Hell is a real place and sin has real consequences. God said it, He created it, I believe it and I live like I believe it.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God gave everyone a free will. We are not robots at His command. He wrote eternity in our hearts. Because He is the God Who created us and because He has written eternity in our hearts, we all have an ingrained sense of love, justice and liberty for all. The eternity written in our hearts, makes this country great. We have always had a civility and a spirit of perseverance and endurance that has kept our great nation strong in liberty and justice for all. One nation UNDER GOD. God created this nation. God established its super power status. God provided great favor for this nation. God set up the authority of this nation. God set up this nation with great respect. This nation is and has been a nation created, set up and designed with specific purpose by AWE-GOD, Who has reigned in power and might, for this nation under His rule. We are called to God 1<sup>st</sup> and as a nation, that has benefited us in so many ways. We have followed His guidelines of civility, and been subject to the authority He set up. When we respect God, honor God and follow His ways, the civility, justice and authority of God thrives in this nation, when we don't lawlessness, disrespect and the human condition rises and the value of human life decreases.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God values us and valued us so much that He sent His only Son, a King of heaven to die a horrible, unjust death so that we could have eternal life. We were not created to for this world, this world was created for us by God as a temporary place, we were created for eternity. This is not our home. Besides God being the common denominator of the human race, we all also have something in common. We all will die. These bodies will die and decay. God created it that way and that is something you can't argue about and your free will can't change. You will die. You will either go to heaven or to hell. You do have the "right" to choose what you want to do with your life in this temporary place called earth. But what you don't have the right to choose is the consequences of your choice. All of this is clearly defined in God's spoken TRUTH, the Bible which as a synchronism B. I. B. L. E. really tells it all. Basic. Instructions. Before. Leaving. Earth!
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Simply-Significantly the Creator is letting us choose and has given us an abundance of direction, wisdom and ways to choose on earth. He gave us the free will choice and He set up the consequences of it. We do choose on this earth to go HIS defined way or to go our way, we also choose our consequence that He has clearly defined.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>As for me and my house, we serve the Lord. My husband and I were married, we stepped into a sacred covenant with God and God gave us children. We are a family, one family under God. We love God with all our heart and soul and make choices to the best of our ability that reflect this surrender and commitment to our God. Respect and AWE of Him defines us, not our human condition. We reach higher, we ask God for help and He gives it. Life is not easy, God's purposes and ways are so much higher than our finite minds can wrap around. He does things in ways that we don't understand, but in the end after His purposes have been worked out, all is good, so good that as we look back with heavenly hindsight, we can't believe how good He works things out, better than we could ever have even begun to imagine.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>From the beginning God knew that the human condition He gave the free will too would rebel against HIM. He gave us the free will anyway and placed eternity in our hearts. He left His witness on the earth, the beauty, majesty and miracle of His creation, we live with this witness of His Creative Power every single day. He engrained within us His Love and His Love for justice. We all have it. When someone is brutally beaten and killed, their blood cries out to God as it does to us and we demand justice. Where does that inner cry come from, it was placed in us from the God who created us.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God's truth and commandments were given to us as of old, they were law and we as humans were under the law. Jesus came to be the living law written on our hearts. He freed us from the law that was not relational, was written on stone and wrote God's law upon our fleshly hearts. It is not like we don't know the difference between right and wrong. The human condition always wants more and is never satisfied. We saw that in the beginning with Adam and Eve. God wants to be our simply-significantly enough. When we give our lives completely to HIM, we finally know true satisfaction, true peace and real hope. Human beings want to go through life comfortable, it is the human condition. We want pleasurable lives, we desire excitement and we are enticed daily by our fleshy desires. We can either follow after the broad way and feed our flesh everything it desires, give in to our flesh which was designed to have a limited life span, or we can follow after God's defined way that narrows the options of our flesh and requires self control of our flesh for now, so our spirit can live forever. We choose temporary or forever from every moment to every choice. When we give into the enticements of our flesh, God gives us over to it and our way is perverted by our desire for our flesh over our desire for God and His way. Our comfort zone becomes our idolization of our flesh and everything in our life is distorted by the desire to be comfortable in our own way. We make our own rules to feed our pleasure and excitement becomes an insatiable desires of our flesh, even to the point of corrupting the innocence of the life, the beauty of humility, the sweetness of AWE and the civility of peace. Restlessness is the fruit of the soul of one making their own way and the companionship of restlessness is disrespect, anger and self righteousness, all of which violently strike out in protection of the comfort zone in which they reside. Civility takes a backseat when the human condition is in control and lawlessness abounds. Human life is devalued when it is in the pursuit of human rights and those pursuing their own way lose perspective of the value of others and all they can see is their way. They will make their way for themselves at all costs. It is all about them and their cause, their comfort and the feeding of their wants. It is a very narrow focus on a very broad path that leads to destruction and leaves a path of grief and sorrow. God created us and specifically designed us for HIM, to be called to HIM 1<sup>st</sup> He is a jealous GOD, He wants all of us. He wants to be our 1<sup>st</sup> desire.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Followship of God begins as we lay down all our "rights" just like Jesus did at the cross and we listen to HIM, we are called to HIM 1<sup>st</sup>. It is in this living relationship with our Ever Present God, following after Him, His Way in the fullness of His Truth that we thrive as ONE Nation Under God, Indivisible With Liberty And Justice For ALL.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>It is God's way that created our "rights"! It is His Way that is our only right. Someone wrote: "If the President is right, then God owes Sodom an apology." History is likely to repeat itself, repeat itself.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>GOD IS RIGHT! Was is and will be RIGHT! We owe HIM an apology. Pray for this country to turn back to HIM, to not repeat our history, but to LET GOD write it!

It's when the Red Sea is before you, the mountains are on one side of you, the desert is on the other side, and you feel the Egyptian army closing in from behind that you experience His power to open up an escape route.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>2 Timothy 1:5</strong></span><span style='color:#002060'> "I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also."</span>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><strong><em>Every God-fearing grandmother can give the gift of faith to her grandchildren. It is a gift that keeps giving to those in the path of its influence</em></strong>. Like the ripple affect of a rock released onto the surface of calm water, so faith deposited in tender hearts swells touching other souls. <strong>A grandmother's position garners trust for the purpose of giving Christ's love. Her unique role is a righteous responsibility that reaps faith's fruit in her child's children.
</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>So, wise are we, as grandparents, to keep growing in grace and wisdom. Our seasoned season of life does not guarantee that we qualify as wise mentors, hence we keep learning, so we have fresh experiences of God's faithfulness. Once we receive from our heavenly Father, grandmothers and grandfathers have the most to give. Our daily walk with Jesus gives us grace to give to others. Thus, we make time for grandchildren.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#002060'>"When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless."</span>

</strong></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Holy Scripture is a gift your granddaughter or grandson will never forget. But, first make sure they catch you in your time with Christ, sharing with them stories from Scripture. God's word reads with new meaning in new seasons, so as they grow older see to it they have a fresh motivation to mediate on God's word. Give them the gift of wisdom: the smell of a new leather bound Bible is the aroma of a life bound to belief in the Lord.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Perhaps you entrust to each adolescent grandchild one of your Bibles as a memento of your love for your Master, Jesus. Keepsakes for Christ create a hunger for holiness to those who honor you. <strong><em>Grandparenting is your crowning opportunity to crown Christ as King of your life and legacy. Therefore, intentionally pray for ways to walk with your grandchildren in fun and faith. Your gift of love and laughter attracts them to Jesus!</em></strong>
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>"But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus." 2 Timothy 3:14-15

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> "The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Creating an economic structure around passion and purpose can be a prayerful and godly goal. It could be converting informal free advice into a formalized fee for coaching, consulting, or counseling. It may mean engaging a hobby of painting, writing, or singing and moving it into the market as a valued product. God gives gifts and skills to create a living. There are times to give away time and expertise, and times to monetize our mission.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Money is not our motivation, but it is a by-product of producing value around what wakes us up in the morning. Why waste our lives just working for a paycheck, when we can creatively come up with ways to channel our energies and experiences into an economic endeavor. Christ commends shrewd servants of His who innovate new ways to make friends and influence people. Indeed, we are called to be creative for Christ's sake.

His master replied, "You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><strong><em>You are wise to work in your area of expertise, but avoid ruts that lead to complacency.</em></strong> Pray about how the Lord wants you to steward the relationships, opportunities, and gifts He has given you. Perhaps there is a small group of friends who will pray with you and even invest some seed money to eventually monetize God's mission for your life. Truly, compared to eternity—life is a blink of an eye, so don't hesitate on His direction.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Sad are servants of Jesus who remain in a scared state of inertia. Instead, follow by faith the sensitive promptings of the Holy Spirit in your heart. Do not allow your head to talk you out of following an unconventional course for your career. The world will watch with admiration a shrewd servant of the Lord, who, with an eye on eternity, invests in people on earth. Your life is attractive when you live out your mission with passion and productivity. Trust God to give you the wisdom to make a living from living for His call.

There is so much wisdom in this for me today; I don't know where to begin. This is my season of life. I have been struggling with this. So I am going to meditate on this, be opened hearted and hear what God is saying to me. God used me for 25 years or so as a church administrative secretary. During all those years I have written so many things, but never published them. I also have written a book that I know He wants to say some things to His Bride. I am working towards getting that published. I am creating a website and a publishing company. But I have resisted selling "words" that God has given me. I can't reconcile that what God speaks to me, doesn't belong to me, so how can I sell it. I get about 18 thousand hits on my website. I work like I would at a job, every day writing and keeping it updated. People ask me, "Why don't you get advertising sponsors" I have so resisted it. I admit, I struggle with exactly what you spoke so wisely about today. Thanks for this wisdom, it really helps me!

</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Verdana; font-size:9pt'><strong>When I was a kid, my Mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my Mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my Mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!<br/>When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned biscuits."<br/>Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides – a little burned biscuit never hurt anyone!"<br/>Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. But what I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults - and choosing to celebrate each others differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.<br/>And that's my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where a burnt biscuit isn't a deal-breaker!<br/>We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!<br/> "Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - keep it in your own."<br/>So please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burned one will do just fine. And PLEASE pass this along to someone who has enriched your life.<br/> "Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."

</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Humility is a desired, but often neglected characteristic of good, servant leadership. The more we promote ourselves online, the more I'm afraid humility is being forgotten. As one who has an online presence, I consistently sense God reminding me that I've been on the bottom and I can return there.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Pride is a struggle for many leaders (author included), but we must strive to bring humility to our leadership roles.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:13pt'><strong>Here are 10 attributes of a humble leader:
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Dangerous Trust</strong> – Humility always demands a certain level of trust. A humble leader is willing to take a risk on others, trusting them with the sacredness of the vision, even at the chance they may be disappointed with the outcome.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Sincere Investment</strong> – Humble leaders know the vision is bigger and will last longer than they will, so they willingly invest in others, raising up and maturing new leaders.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Gentle, but Strong</strong> – One can't be a leader and be weak. Every position of leadership will provide a challenge to the leader, but humble leaders have learned the balance between being gentle and remaining strong. (Think Jesus!)
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Readily Admits Mistakes</strong> – Everyone makes mistakes. In fact, we often learn more through failure than through success. The humble leader is quick to admit when he or she has done wrong and deals with the fault-out without casting blame or making excuses.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Forgives easily</strong> – Leadership is filled with disappointment; often at the expense of other's mistakes. A humble leader forgives easily, remembering how many times he or she has been forgiven.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Quickly diverts attention</strong> – We all like to be recognized for accomplishments, but a humble leader is quick to divert attention to others, sharing the limelight for successes with those, who many times, may have even had more to do with the success than the leader did. They celebrate the success of others louder than personal success
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Remains thankful</strong> – A humble leader is appreciative of the input of others into his or her leadership. So much so, that a humble leader naturally praises the actions of others far more than the time spent patting themselves on the back for personal accomplishments. Humble leaders recognize that all good gifts come from above.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Recognizes Limitations</strong> – No one can do everything. A humble has the ability to say, "I can't do that or I'm not the one who should".
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Shares authority</strong> – Humble leaders don't take all the key assignments for themselves, but gives out prime responsibility and authority to people he or she is leading.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Invites feedback</strong> – A humble leader wants to learn from his or her mistakes and wants to continually see improvement. Humble leaders initiate other's suggestions and feedback, not waiting until complaints come, but personally asking for the input.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Humility is not putting yourself down as a leader. It's ultimately recognizing who you are in view of Christ and others. The danger in not being a humble leader or considering ourselves better than others, is that one day we may be "humbled". Many of us learn humility the hard way.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#a6a6a6; font-family:Georgia; font-size:6pt'><strong><em>amplified Bible Isolation! Invisibility! Disunity! Yes, we have an enemy and once in a while, I might glance his way, but I habitually FOCUS on Jesus and without a doubt I know: </em></strong>YES We Have A Good Shepherd! Yes He Is Speaking! Yes I Can Easily Follow His Voice! AWE-GOD!<strong><em>
</em></strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Invisibility = Isolation! Invisibility is the death wish of our enemy for us. Isolation is the death wish of the father of lies, who comes in like a thief in the night to kill, steal and destroy the unity of The Bride of Christ.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong><em>The Spirit And The Bride Say Come! </em></strong>God's Truth is so important; the fullness of it brings about such sweet unity in the family of God, the Bride of Christ. We must know the Voice of Truth, follow it and live it out in our lives. Any form of deceit marks the beginning of invisibility and isolation, the erosion of unity in Christ.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>The enemy of the Bride of Christ is the father of lies. What form does this enemy take? The caricature of our enemy is deceit. The father of lies looks like anything that is opposite of the fullness of God truth. You know the enemy is at work, and can see his divisiveness because he is all in with the crafty objective of working for the invisibility of God's Glory, a Glory that thrives in the unity of the Bride of Christ.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Deceit is a cunning form of our enemy's trickery. The voice of deception is never familiar or easy for a Christian to follow. We keep the unity of the Bride of Christ alive, healthy and thriving when we follow the voice of our Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. It is in listening to Jesus 1st, that we become all in with His Kingdom purposes in play all around us and step into the fullness of God's Truth and Light.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Deceit is never ushered in the front door; it slithers in the unguarded back door of your heart. Any form of deceit, damns up the flow of God's Purposes into the unity of His Church. There is no more difficult way than the way of deceit; it is a stumbling block of offense for unity. The enemy comes into the sheep pen of the Bride of Christ with a specific goal of stealing, killing, destroying the peace and unity between God and His church and between God's children.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>We must guard our hearts against any form of deceit, by fully facing AWE-GOD. Every day we need to listen for the Shepherd's Voice and be led by the fullness of its truth. With Jesus 1st as our goal and walking in the fullness of truth with Him, we are a part of making the caricature of His Namesake, the Bride of Christ, spotless from any form of dishonesty, not giving deceit any voice in our lives. Christian, we wear the name and the spotless reputation of the Good Shepherd. We are His sheep, Christians, and the name of Jesus Christ that we have chosen to wear, to put on today, should never be synonymous with any form of deception.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Deceit always begins with the "human condition" being enticed by the father of lies to take our life matters into our own hands, leaving God out of the loop of our solutions. <br/>Have you ever been purposefully left out of the loop? It makes you feel invisible! The divisive goal of the father of lies in the deployment of deceit, is to keep the truth, the Glory of God, imperceptible to mankind. All I can say is good luck with that! It is pretty impossible to hold down God Truth!
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>The voice of deceit will never win the war against God's Voice of Truth, but don't let down your guard because deception will persistently battle, being a misleading whisper and trying to make its mark of doubt on God's Truth. When we buy into the lies whispered in cunning deception, we open the door to frustration that pulses to the beat of human doings, while the father of lies smiles, because he knows the back door to the sheep pen is left ajar and he can enter where he will not be noticed! Yes it is always the plan of the father of lies to come in divisively through unseen motives, with his death wish to kill, steal and destroy the unity of the Bride of Christ.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Deception is a loop that is set up purposefully, with the discordant intention of keeping truth on the outside of it. Are you in this loop or standing outside of it with truth? <br/>The Body of Christ is made up of many small groups that are alive in Christ. The open-hearted nature of these groups to God and others make them healthy organisms, living and full of God's Spirit and Truth and growing together in unity with Awe-God.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>The Bride of Christ is not an organization, it is an organism in unity with the life of Jesus Christ, aligned fully with His Living Truth and growing and replicating His Caricature. God's truth is powerful in His Bride and has life that replicates His authority, health and growth of His Kingdom, bringing eternal life to every organism in His Body! A sweet unity in the glorious future and Kingdom hope contained within His Life.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong><em>The Voice Of The Shepherd is The Truth Of The Sheep And God's Truth Is The Most Valuable Commodity Of The Bride Of Christ. </em></strong>Without the Caricature of God's Voice of Truth upon us, we would portray to the world a "human conditioned" organization, not a living Christ organism. <br/>The Shepherd never intended for His Sheep to kindle their own fire and walk by the light of a man made fire. He provided an eternal glory glow. Jesus is the Light of the world and is the Way-Maker for us to walk in the fullness of His Light-Life-Truth. When a fire kindled by man goes out, everyone who is standing around it, is in the pitch dark and that is when unity is besieged by deceit that has slithered over the wall into the church.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Have you ever used deceit to create a loop to purposefully leave someone out? Did you feel your motives were good? Nothing good ever steps out of deceit, and deceit stepped out in never ends with unity. God does not walk the same path as deceit, no matter how good your intentions are, deceit is deceit. Unity in the Body of Christ is kept healthy, thriving and full of God Glory when it is lived in the fullness of truth. Keeping up a loop, that keeps others out is exhausting and for those that are standing outside the loop, looking in, it is debilitating; both of these perspectives are eroding the unity of the Bride of Christ. Invisibility and Isolation!
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>God's Truth is the best option to keeping the enemy out of the sheep pen at all times. Never rationalize that not speaking the truth is a good option. Deceit is an alternative path of truth, one that opens the door to the father of lies to get a strong hold on the unity of the Bride of Christ. Talking about others behind their back is devising loops without truth and it ushers in isolation, making people invisible to the God Glory in each other.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>When the enemy has snuck into the pen, then for sure unconditional love and conditional love are battling. Unconditional love wants to damn up the purpose and love of God in human condition. Truth spoken in love is not dependent upon human condition but God. Loops created by deceit are completely propped up by human doings and leave torment, isolation and invisibility in the sheep pen! You know what I am saying because you have seen it and experienced the stealing of peace, the destroying of unity, the killing of visible God Glory. The Glory of God is made visible to the world through our human condition aglow in Kingdom Spirit and Truth! Unity thrives in the living atmosphere of God's Truth!
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Do you feel invisible? Are you standing on the outside of a man made loop? Then you know how isolation and disunity feels and how it kills, steals and destroys the unity of the Bride of Christ.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Now is the time to listen for the Voice of the Shepherd, align yourself in Holy Alignment with His Truth. Wait on Him. He is going to kick the enemy out of the sheep pen and tear down the walls and loops he devised that isolate with conditions and create invisibility. The Good Shepherd will not stop until all the walls and loops of the father of lies that are supported by deception and rationalization are torn down. The love of God tears down walls and never creates loops that leave people on the outside looking in.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd, the voice of the Holy Spirit is abundant in truth and love. God's Spirit and Truth lean us into the sway of the Sovereignty of His Life, His Glory and His Kingdom. The fire of His Infinite Love is a passion of truth, justice, hope, wisdom and peace that runs deep in the organism of His Bride, The Church. It makes His name glorious and evokes change by His power, not by our human doing.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Break down the walls of isolation and invisibility that are held up by the father of lies! We are loved by AWE-GOD, created to live together in God's Spirit and Truth by the peaceful unity of His Life in us. We are the Body of Christ, a living organism made up of many, united by One-Jesus Christ! We were never created to be an organization that creates loops that isolate and build walls keeping people within, warming themselves by a man made fire that will eventually flame out. Isaiah 50:7-11
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>People should never stand outside of the Glory Glow of God! The openhearted Bride of Christ, opens the gate to the sheep pen and the Shepherd opens the door to eternal life. <strong><em>The Spirit And The Bride Say Come!</em></strong> The Shepherd calls and the sheep know His Voice and follow Him and together they live in unity. No Isolation. No Invisibility. YES! Unity! YES! Glory of God!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The Lord loathes liars and those who stir up dissension because they are masters at sowing seeds of doubt, deception, and discord. Dissenters think the worst of others and pose prideful questions like, "Is he or she really fit for the job?' "Do they deal with honest intentions?" or "Can this person really be trusted?" A person who stirs up dissension projects their own insecure feelings on the person they are seeking to discredit or even destroy.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Like Saul, their own anger, hurt, and jealousy drive them to delusionary conclusions.

Question their facts and ask them to refrain from gossip and divisive behavior. Lastly, look into your own heart, making sure you are not guilty of lies and deceit. Do not become like your accuser and discredit your integrity. We see shortcomings in others because we struggle with the same familiar sins.

I put three because I heard the Voice of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit as I read this! LOL! Don't think the enemy can't trick you to sow dissension, that you are above it because you have been a Christian for a long time. Thank you for this piece, it was inspired and perfect in timing. I just spent a couple of days caught in the grip of choices I made not to trust God in a situation and this became a fast snowball on a ride to and through the briar patch of dissension with all its ugly prickers sticking in my soul. The choice of dissension came on the plate of control, not trusting God, trying to kindle a fire, make a man made light (Isaiah 50) instead of turning to God, letting HIM light up the situation with His wisdom, His ability to take the secrets of the dark and expose them to the Light of His Truth. It came on the heels of a big change I was transitioning through. I kindled a fire, I walked by a man made light, instead of by God's Light. I decided to take the role of the Holy Spirit and that translates directly into dissension. There is no other road when you take matters in your own hands, but that of dissension. And as Isaiah 50 says when you kindle your own fire and walk by the light of man made fire, you will lay down in torment. The choice for dissension is nothing more than moving out of alignment with God, following a divisive path set out by the enticing of your flesh to "fix things" and it ends up not being a solution but being a way that leads you to soul torment. I tried to "fix" something that I saw as "broken", now I realize when the common denominator of a "messy situation" is Jesus, you can confidently know that every life problem can be solved in His perfect way! He is the solution! He is the only one who can make a message out of a mess. We make dissension out of a human condition – He makes miracles out of a human condition. Oh please let the next chance He gives me be for HIM making the miracle and not me, making the mess. Thank you for this wisdom today. It has helped me face this situation and learn from it my failure and now with God's wisdom, future success. God is enough, He does not need me to "fix it"! He's Got This! May you never walk down a path of dissension, it is horrible torment in your soul. And know this, that the person who is being used as a voice of dissension, truly they are suffering in their soul. It is not all good for them either. We all need God, we all need His wisdom that leads us to let go and let God. He's Got This!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'> "Not so, my lord," Hannah replied, "I am a woman who is deeply troubled.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#0070c0; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the LORD."
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='color:#984806; font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt; text-decoration:underline'><strong>1 Samuel 1:15
</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Sometimes your soul pours out in passionate prayer. The hurt is so deep, the loss so great, and the burden so heavy, that your soul exceeds earnest prayer. Your emotions increase in intensity to the point that your prayers become speechless. Somewhere between the bottom of your soul and the tip of your tongue the words evaporate. Sometimes your extra heavy heart feels constricted and emits groans that only the Holy Spirit can discern.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#002060'>"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express"</span>
<span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>(Romans 8:26).</strong></span> It's not only okay to go there, it's necessary. This level of soul-searching prayer is what brings peace to one painted with pain. <strong><em>After your soul has been delivered onto God's platter of prayer, you are able to rest in His peaceful presence.</em></strong> It is during this non-trivial travail in prayer that your soul finds solace.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><strong><em>As in childbirth, your pain progresses until it is released by God's act of grace and gravity. Your burden is birthed and becomes a blessing.</em></strong> Your hurt has been gestating for months, even years, so release it from your hurting soul. It has lodged itself deep within and, over time, has whittled away your joy. You have become hard to live with and you struggle to love yourself. Latch onto your Lord and don't let go, for He is there for you.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>He is listening even when you don't speak or your communication is nothing but moans. Continue to seek the face of your heavenly Father, for He is there as a present hope. But hope deferred will keep your soul sick (Proverbs 13:12). It may seem silly to pour out your soul to the One you cannot see, yet faith serves as the eyes that gaze upon your heavenly Father. Soul care is His passion, for what you pour out in grief and resentment, He replaces with comfort and forgiveness.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Once you pour out your soul to your Lord, you can leave it with Him and move forward in the power and peace of the Holy Spirit. Fill your now emptied soul with your Savior, and let Christ cover you with confidence, serenity, and security. If you leave your soul empty of the eternal, Satan will fill you with the lingering lies of guilt and worry (Jesus explains this principle in Luke 11:24-26).
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>A poured-out soul gives the Lord more to work with. His love will lift you higher and higher to heights of affection that make angels envious. What is poured out, He fills; what is broken, He mends; what is hungry, He feeds; what is thirsty, He quenches; what is hurt, He nurses. Allow Jesus to be the keeper of your soul. His nurture and care are unparalleled. A soul made whole generates gratitude and generosity.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>A soul poured out flushes out faithlessness and fear, allowing it to be filled with faithfulness and trust. People in denial may think you are strange or weak pouring out your soul to God. However, you know better, because this is the avenue to intimacy. When you pour out your soul to the Lord, He fills you up with Himself. A life full of Jesus is the best place to live. You can trust Him with this level of transparency. Don't doubt; just pour out.

</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>One question about mentoring I am consistently asked is, "<strong><em>What should a mentor do</em>?</strong>" That's an obvious question. What do you do when you have been asked to be a mentor or you decide to intentionally recruit someone to mentor you? What role should the mentor play in the mentee's life?
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Well, I don't believe the point of a mentor is to script another person's life. That's not what I've ever wanted from my mentors or what I've attempted to do with those I mentor. I can't share everything you may need in a mentor, but I can share what I have sought in one.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:13pt'><strong>Here are 4 things I want in a mentor:
</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Help shape my path</strong> – Mentors have been used to help me make life altering decisions. Whether it was with career choices, marriage issues or character development, I need a mentor to help me make the major decisions in my life.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>Allow me to learn from their experiences</strong> – Mentors have shared the good and bad elements of their life which has helped protect me from needless pain and guide me to better results. This is why I generally prefer mentors a generation ahead of me.

I think another thing a mentor does is "point" ! They point you to God, to His promise, to His purpose, to His wisdom. They point up! Recently I have developed what we call prayer/mentors for our online campus. Being online as a church is a huge pioneering adventure. Did we really know what we were getting into! LOL! How do you take an online prayer that is "gut wrenching" that is typed into the chat and just say "we will pray for you"... it just wasn't enough. So we are developing online prayer/mentors and offering it to people. So far, it has really been sweet and seems to be a huge blessing! Oh The God Adventure! LOL! Have a great weekend.

We have a tendency to hold on to past things, He is constantly making us new, changing our life season and growing us. In a marriage it would seem that after you have been married 20 to 30 or so years, the adjustments would stop, you could settle in and just fly without turbulence. That is the human viewpoint and it leaves out the heavenly focus. As we get older, we tend to cling to life here harder, and our focus on nostalgia becomes greater, because we know life here is shorter. God wants us to cling to Him and dig our roots deeply in His Love, to desire our Kingdom home more than our earthly home. This is a season of our lives where this transition is grown through the most, the learning of a consistent Kingdom focus, the leaning into a Sovereign Sway. The world calls it mid life crisis, I call it intermediary revisioning. LOL! Realigning our focus from nostalgia to a Holy Alignment with Jesus!

Even in our mid life years, after all this time of learning and growing in Christ – God shakes things up, because He knows this is the time we will be tempted to dig our roots deeper in this earth because we start focusing on our age and we know there is not much time left and sometimes our focus shifts us, to wanting to preserve our "youth" to wanting to defy our aging and we a little bit at a time get out of alignment with God and we move away from our alliance with HIM, we move out of our today, trying to bring back our yesterday. We are called by our nostalgia more than we are by our God! This shakes up marriages, to the core of our unity. Basically at the root of it all is fear, satan uses fear of the changes our body is growing through and we both know that perfect LOVE casts out all fear.

We have always felt the opposite, stronger in the flesh, weaker in the spirit, so this is a season of spiritual transition, where we adjust and reposition ourselves in Christ. It is a paradox, because our bodies are growing weaker and our spirits are growing stronger. It is this transition, where truly the spiritual battlefront, is to keep us from growing stronger spiritually, these are our most powerful years ahead of us as our body gets weaker, our spirit supernaturally gets strong. We feel so strong inwardly but our body can't keep up, we feel so young on the inside, but our body not so on the outside!

I am nostalgic, so nostalgic, only happy when I look back and am in pursuit of the past, wanting what is back there, wanting to "feel" that way again. Bob and I have been a part for about six weeks because of work and I am doubting if I want to go with him. He has changed so much, I have changed so much! We are not the same. I want to stay here, just move on without him. I am doubting if I can "grow old" with him, if I want to go in the direction where he is going. We have changed, I have changed, my feelings are so jumbled up. I want what I can't have, I want to be the person I was, have the experiences I had. I want what we used to have.

Then you begin to get nostalgia, and you begin to be focused on all this nostalgic.

Years 16-20 transition to young adult… 25-35 transition to adulthood… 55-65 transition to senior adults…. 75 to 85 transitioning home… anything to get us looking back, focusing on the past and not the now. God wants us to transition into a "completely" and satan wants us to idolize our past and we can get stuck in a "nostalgic " focus. This really affects marriages because one person can break free and the other can be stuck and unity is destroyed. I was the one stuck… and I it wasn't about feeling restless in my marriage, feeling like I did not want to move ahead in my marriage, it was about not transitioning forward with God, being stuck in nostalgia, and having a nostalgic focus on my past that was draining my present of all life and growth.

He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself [reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds.</span>

I was so restless, the day was gone and I felt weak and I knew I needed to take a break from all things and just walk with God. I could not find my way out of the restlessness because God designed it that way, He knew I needed to stop my life before I stumbled over things in my heart that needed to be dealt with. He took my hand and led me by His Way and I followed Him all week as we delved into my soul and the dark restlessness lost it's hold on me as I submitted to God's cleansing and healing touch. He has shown me what to do to stay out of this darkness, to move forward in complete trust and followship. Thank you Jesus for an incredible week with you, I am so grateful that you love me enough to confront me, change me and encourage me!

It tells everything in His Voice that He has spoken to me this week. I need to make peace with my family as I follow after Him, I need to leave my past behind reconciled in peace as far as it depends on me. I need to strengthen my relationship with the Father God, because this will bolster up my feeble human condition. I need to not fear my future, because God does not fellowship with fear, He has never feared and does not want me to fear, but to trust Him completely. God has disciplined me using a strong restlessness and for that I am grateful, because during this time God exposed a dark place in my soul, an idol of nostalgia of my past and I have broken it by His Spirit and Truth and I am walking forward, leaving my past behind in followship of what God has for me today. My path is going in the right direction, I will not veer of course as I fully face my God and stop the habit of looking back with nostalgia for my past. This has caused feebleness in my soul. I have been charged by God to exercise foresight and be on the watch for others by exhorting and encouraging them with a heart of His compassion, because their story is my story and my story is their story because we share the same common denominator which is the Father God, we are His children and I commit to pray for them and mentor, hold them up and point them to Jesus, until they can stand positioned in His Grace and fully face Him, stepping out into the flow of His Kingdom Purposes. I am to continue to develop my AWE of God through a spoken gratefulness, a daily testimony of thanksgiving to AWE-GOD and develop community in the Bride of Christ founded upon this AWE of God! I am to work hard at my salvation by creating a spiritual habit where I make the right choice the 1<sup>st</sup> time. My 1<sup>st</sup> step out of bed every morning will be to bow down before my AWE-GOD in humble-respect and submissive-awe and every night before I go to bed, I will bow down in gratefulness for all He is in me and all He has done through me.

I am so grateful for my paradoxical – proverbish – parableistic God! He amazes me! I just mailed a letter to a company forgiving them of a debt of 55 thousand dollars that they have owed our company for 7 years (interesting the number 7 years) I feel like a weight has been lifted off my soul. I did not EXPECT to feel that way at all! What a paradox! When my husband told me God said for him, our company, to forgive the 7 year debt and write it off, I was so skeptical and thought: That is not fair to our company that is dead in the water right now! How could that be God? But I went with my husband's wisdom and followed after his obedience. God is so amazing how He works in such a "paradoxical" Kingdom way. AWE-GOD! He works from the inside out! How incredibly paradoxical! I love and appreciate that about our GOD!

</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>One of the most important things we can learn in this day and hour is how to be still.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>I believe that one of the significant reasons so many of us are burned out and stressed out is that we don't know how to be still. We don't really know God and do not acknowledge Him. And it's only by spending time getting to know Him that we learn to hear His still, small voice so that He can direct our paths.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>We need to learn to be quiet on the inside and stay in that peaceful state so that we are always ready to hear the Lord's voice</strong>. Many people today run from one thing to the next. Because their minds don't know how to be still, they don't know how to be still in their heart.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'><strong>If we'll just slow down and quiet our minds enough to hear His promptings, we can live in a place of peace, ready to respond obediently</strong>. It is easy to see that leading a peaceful, happy life, free from exhaustion and burnout, is not all that complicated, as long as we remain still before God.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Prayer Starter: Lord, I recognize that You alone are God. I know that stillness before You is important, so show me how to remain settled and peaceful inside, always ready to hear Your voice.

For myself, I believe in learning in "Context" not pulling things out of scripture and making "causes" out of them, and God has not assigned many "causes" to me as much as He has assigned me to encourage and point people to Jesus. So I do respect your call to this cause, but I am not studied enough to talk about it with any wisdom, just opinion. Personally I am not perfect, I make mistakes, they are not habitual sins, because in a relationship with God for me that would be impossible, I am constantly wanting to be pure and holy aligned with HIM out of love, not duty. It is my love for Him that compels me to obey Him completely, with great respect and AWE. When I do mess up though, I am so thankful for His forgiveness that loves, teaches and grows me. I wish you well with your site, may God bless you much and use you in that special way He has designed for you.

And David took them off.40 Then he took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones out of the brook and put them in his shepherd's [lunch] bag [a whole kid's skin slung from his shoulder], in his pouch, and his sling was in his hand, and he drew near the Philistine.41 The Philistine came on and drew near to David, the man who bore the shield going before him.42 And when the Philistine looked around and saw David, he scorned and despised him, for he was but an adolescent, with a healthy reddish color and a fair face.43 And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you should come to me with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.44 The Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field.45 Then said David to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the ranks of Israel, Whom you have defied.46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will smite you and cut off your head. And I will give the corpses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands.48 When the Philistine came forward to meet David,</span>

He doesn't treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs. As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>This is the 1<sup>st</sup> time I have seen Jesus that angry, that impassioned. His Father's house was so important to Him, that it be a place that was honored, that God be lifted up. He was angry that the merchants were doing business in His Father's house. You know the thought that comes to me is that we are the temple of the Lord and what kind of business are we doing in the Father's Temple. Am I honoring God 1<sup>st</sup>, or am I doing things in this temple for my personal gain. Do I take advantage of people in this temple, or do I put God 1<sup>st</sup> in this temple? Because from the above scripture, what we do in this temple of God, matters to Jesus, matters deeply to HIM.

I have to smile at the reply of the Jews, it was so typical of our human condition to deal with all things surface, to not live life deeper with Jesus. So many things He said went deeper, were not for this earth but for His Kingdom. He spoke in a Kingdom Language that they did not hear because they were so focused on themselves, their ambitions, their self righteousness. Do I hear the Kingdom Language that is spoken to me daily or am I just hearing a selective worldly tune that is surface and does not reach deeply in my soul? Where is my discernment focused? Here or Kingdom? How deeply am I living life? Surface earthly concerns or Kingdom minded?

</strong></span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Have you ever wondered if you are good enough for God to love you? Unfortunately, many people believe God loves them only as long as they don't make mistakes.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Perhaps it was this outlook that caused the psalmist to ask, "What is man that You are mindful of him?" (Psalm 8:4 AMP). Yet the Bible tells us that we are God's creation, the work of His hands-and that He loves each one of us unconditionally.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Let's face it: Jesus didn't die for you because you were great and wonderful; He died for you because He loves you. Romans 5:8-9 confirms this truth by telling us that He died for us while we were still sinners.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>God loved you enough to give His only begotten Son, not only to die for your sins, but also to cover your daily mistakes. He loves you enough to get you through each day in power and victory.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>God loves you, and He wants you to believe it and receive it all the time...even when you make mistakes.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Prayer Starter: Lord, Your love is incredible. You love me even when it doesn't make sense to me. When I make mistakes, You are still with me. Because of Jesus' sacrifice, my mistakes are covered. I receive Your love today.

</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Some people exude boldness, while others struggle with living boldly as a loved child of God. I had that problem until God showed me some important keys that helped me live boldly, and I want to share them with you.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>1. Refuse to live in fear. Fear is an epidemic in our society. The Bible instructs us in Hebrews 10:38 to live by faith and not draw back in fear.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>2. Put setbacks behind you. You are not a failure because you try new things and they don't work out. You fail only when you stop trying. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, and if you do, recover quickly and press on.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>3. Don't draw comparisons. Boldness will be impossible as long as you compare yourself to others. Boldness comes from accepting who you are and being the best you can be.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>4. Be willing to take action. Search your heart and ask yourself what you believe God wants you to do, and then do it.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Pray over these four keys, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you live them out. Hold up your head and be filled with boldness.
</span></p><p><span style='font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt'>Prayer Starter: Holy Spirit, I want boldness to be one of my defining traits. Help me to live out these four keys by Your strength.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>When we think of this word, we think of a person's disposition. The DNA or the way a person is. The word is misunderstood because we look at it as a word that stereotypes us and fences us in. We place people in a box because of their disposition and think they can't change. Disposition is not a permanent thing, it is a natural leaning toward some kind of behavior. It is a choice and we can change it, putting our lives in a different disposition. Put yourself into a position not to buy into disposition as something that cannot be changed and every negative part of your disposition will be changed and you will have a positive disposition.

I can see how we are stereotyped by our disposition and how we in relational ways, categorize others in by their disposition and sometimes do not even consider or open our heart to them because of their disposition. I liked how Pastor Maxwell showed that we have a natural lean into a personal disposition, but we can change that as we lean into God's Sovereign Sway! The key to disposition for me is learning to be open hearted like I read about recently how Nathanael had boxed Jesus into a Nazareth disposition. "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Yet Nathanael, being openhearted gave Jesus a chance to disprove the assumed disposition of Jesus' Nazareth heritage. When it comes to this word disposition, my growth area is learning to be "openhearted"!

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>A disposition is a habit, or a tendency to act in a specified way. This is an UNCONSCIOUS mood, the basic impulse which, as John said, can be CONSCIOUSLY changed and even educated to change. As almost all things in life, adopting a new, good and shining disposition depends on us. It takes determination and hard work, but what doesn't? :-)

If you are not happy with where you are in life, if you are discouraged, lonely, angry, etc. If you allow God to change your disposition, that will give you the opportunity to change your position.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Have you ever heard the expression, "the more things change, the more they stay the same"? I was thinking about this as I was traveling on planes, trains, and automobiles this past week. I thought about how things have changed little since the beginning of time, as far as man is concerned. <strong><em>Since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden there has been an on-going battle between good and evil and it still comes down to choices. </em></strong>The most horrible example today is the war between Islam and the rest of the world - purely evil vs. good. Study the terrorizing tactics of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Jihadists, and those of Israel to see how so many embrace the devil's ways and one tiny nation is fighting to survive and stay on the land promised to them by God.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>But the greater battle occurs inside each one of us each and every day, hour, minute and second... <strong><em>the choices we make between doing good and doing evil.</em></strong> Sometimes it's a big sin, sometimes it just another selfish response to something. But it's the same evil that leads nations like Islam and Naziism, and every infamous person and nation in history who have produce terror, death, and destruction.

</strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Accept people whose faith is weak without passing judgement on disputable things. Don't condemn, accept, who are you to judge God's servant? God is able to make him stand. Do everything unto the Lord. None of us lives for himself or dies for himself alone. We live unto the Lord, we belong to HIM. Why do you judge or look down on people? We all will stand before God's judgement seat. Every knee will bow before God and confess to God. Each one will give an account to God, so we don't have to pass judgement on others. If someone regards something as unclean, then don't eat it in front of them, this is love. The kingdom of God is a matter of righteousness peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Make every effort to do what leads to peace and mutual edification. It is wrong for a man to do something that makes someone else stumble. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what He approves. Everything that does not come from faith is sin!

<span style='color:#002060'>He makes me to lie down in green pastures: He leads me beside the still waters</span>.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The average American who reads this passage probably thinks of green pastures as wide areas of unending soft green grass. But here in Israel the climate is so dry, that there's really no such thing.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Long ago, the shepherds of Israel learned to find grass where most people wouldn't think to look. Here, green pastures are created as the breeze from the Mediterranean Sea brings moisture into our arid climate. It is from this moisture that a kind of dew settles upon the sides of certain hills creating little tufts of grass -- just enough for one day's feeding for a flock of sheep. The shepherds would lead their flocks through the hot parched desert in search of these. It's no wonder those sheep would obey the shepherd's voice. They would easily die in the desert trying to survive on their own. The sheep learned to depend on the shepherd to daily lead them to their sustenance.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><strong><em>How many times does it feel like we're walking aimlessly through the desert and there doesn't seem any refreshment near? When our lives our bombarded with trial after trial it can feel this way. But we must keep in mind that though we are walking through the desert, our Shepherd is leading us to green pastures to be refreshed. And it's these times in the desert that God causes us to depend more upon on him. These thirsty times are special times -- times to be embraced! Worthyemail.com

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><span style='color:#002060'>Know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself; the Lord will hear when I call to him.</span>
<span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>Psalm 4:3</strong></span>
<span style='color:#984806; text-decoration:underline'><strong>
</strong></span></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>God chooses His children for Himself. Our relationship with our Lord is all about Him. It is all about His desires, His pleasures, His vision, His goals, and His will. When we came to God we came empty handed, clinging only to the cross of Christ. So in our surrender to our Savior, we emptied ourselves and received Jesus. We went from self-sufficient to God-dependent. We went from flesh patterns to spiritual habits.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>We went from ungodly to godly. We went from an impersonal relationship with a distant God to an intimate relationship with our heavenly Father, up close and personal. <strong><em>God chose us for Himself. Now in our engagement with eternity, we want what God wants.</em></strong>
<strong><em>Our passions have been changed from the temporal to the eternal. We get excited over what excites God.
</em></strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Furthermore, He wants us to know and not forget these basic tenets of Christianity. He knows we need to know. He knows that we need to know because we forget and revert back to beliefs that rival God's ownership of our lives. <strong><em>Because He owns us, He owns everything about us</em></strong>. You may be struggling with traveling overseas for the sake of His cause. But Jesus's commands are clear that we are to go into all the world and make disciples.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>You may be too busy to build a relationship with your neighbors. But our sensitive Savior implores us to love them. <strong><em>Our words may say one thing, but our behavior brands us. What can we do today to set ourselves apart as His?</em></strong> Our distinctive may be to reflect a patient attitude, a caring comment, or sinless anger toward hypocrisy. <strong><em>We are at His disposal to carry out His desires. This is His expectation.
</em></strong></span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Moreover, God offers a clear channel of communication for His children. He hears when we call to Him. <strong><em>Prayer is not passive for our heavenly Father. He is interested in our intense circumstances and our heartfelt fears</em></strong>. Because we are His, He listens to and answers our prayers. It is not always the answer we expect it to be. He defines His will for us as much with his answers of "no" as He does with His answers of "yes."
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'><strong><em>Our prayers are a response to the love, respect, dependency, and trust we have in our heavenly Father</em></strong>. Because we are His, we come to Him often, as does a child in a healthy relationship with his or her parent. We have no need to fear, for our heavenly Father is near. He is near to listen and to love. He is near to forgive and heal. He is a prayer away.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>The more we constantly converse with Christ, we will surely speak all the more boldly to men. <strong><em>Prayer is a purging and a preparation. It is God's platform to launch us into fields that are ripe for harvest.</em></strong>
<strong><em>It is a preparation for engagement in the lives of people. Prayer fills us with love so we can be emptied of love.</em></strong> God chooses us, and what He chooses He makes holy. We are godly because we are God's. It is holiness that makes us fit to live with holy God forever. Without holiness we cannot see our Savior (Hebrews 12:14). <strong><em>Boldness follows seeing Jesus. Because He was poured out, we are sold out.

As Jesus was trying to be by himself, he still had compassion on the crowds, healed them and had fed 5000 of them. He walked away from the time His relative was gruesomely killed, and he pauses on his personal problems and ministers to others. He pauses from his big crisis to focus on the needs of the people, this is our Jesus. We are the crowds, we are the people Who He takes times for, He is never too busy for us. It is not all about us, our agenda, what we are trying to accomplish or do, be open hearted to Jesus. Take time today to love on people, to engage with them and allow Jesus to engage with us.

</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Life is no fun when we let our feelings run the show. Feelings change from day to day, hour to hour, even moment to moment. They often lie to us. In short, we cannot trust our feelings.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>But we can choose, as Christ followers, to ignore false emotions and live by truth and wisdom. Let me give you some examples. Perhaps you have found yourself in a crowd of people and felt as though everyone was talking about you. That doesn't mean they were. Maybe you feel that nobody understands you, but that doesn't mean they don't. You may feel misunderstood, unappreciated or even mistreated, but that doesn't mean you are.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>These are only feelings. We need to be mature, disciplined, Holy Spirit-controlled people, determined to walk in the Spirit. It takes a constant act of the will to choose to do things God's way rather than our way.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Even though we may feel occasionally bombarded by negative emotions, we cannot allow those feelings to control and spoil life. Instead, we can choose to follow the truth-godly wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
</span></p><p style='text-align: justify'><span style='font-family:Georgia; font-size:12pt'>Prayer Starter: God, my feelings often go against Your wisdom and try to deceive me, but I won't let them run my life.

I am really trying to do that this year, develop my AWE-GOD Gratitude, intentionally and with purpose!
