The Bible-Live In It!

“The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men. It has God for its Author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture for its matter. It is all pure, all sincere; nothing too much; nothing wanting!” Quote by: Locke Psalm 119:88-90

I'm homesick—longing for your salvation; I'm waiting for your word of hope. My eyes grow heavy watching for some sign of your promise; how long must I wait for your comfort? There's smoke in my eyes—they burn and water, but I keep a steady gaze on the instructions you post. How long do I have to put up with all this? How long till you haul my tormentors into court? The arrogant godless try to throw me off track, ignorant as they are of God and his ways. Everything you command is a sure thing, but they harass me with lies. Help! They've pushed and pushed—they never let up—but I haven't relaxed my grip on your counsel. In your great love revive me so I can alertly obey your every word. 89-96 What you say goes, God, and stays, as permanent as the heavens. Your truth never goes out of fashion; it's as up-to-date as the earth when the sun comes up. Your Word and truth are dependable as ever; that's what you ordered—you set the earth going. If your revelation hadn't delighted me so, I would have given up when the hard times came. But I'll never forget the advice you gave me; you saved my life with those wise words. Save me! I'm all yours. I look high and low for your words of wisdom. The wicked lie in ambush to destroy me, but I'm only concerned with your plans for me. I see the limits to everything human, but the horizons can't contain your commands! (The Message) Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson Precious Family, you can always hear me saying: “Life is hard but God is Good!” Most of the time when I say something I am living it, or God is in the process of teaching me how to live it. How do I live in His Light of this phrase I have spoken above? I have learned that the Goodness of God is His Living Word to us. In The Bible, we find His Gift Of Goodness that gives us His Strength, Wisdom and Peace! As we apply His Word to our lives, His Goodness prevails by taking that which is meant to be hard and growing us in His Grace, positioning us in the center of character, personality and mind. Being found in the Bible, is being found in His Presence, Provision, Peace and Protection in and through our all in all! Our country is going to hit some really hard times, life as we know it now, is about to get harder. So precious family, I exhort you that now…. right now is the time, a time such as this to get grounded in the Word Of God, The Goodness of God given to us for times such as these where life is hard…but God is Good! Just Do It! Glow His Goodness-Glow His Glory! “Feed on Christ, and then go and live your life, and it is Christ in you that lives your life, that helps the poor, that tells the truth, that fights the battle, and that wins the crown.” Quote By: Philips Brooks Psalm 19:7 - 11 The law of the Lord is perfect. It gives us new strength. The laws of the Lord can be trusted. They make childish people wise. 8 The rules of the Lord are right. They give joy to our hearts. The commands of the Lord shine brightly. They give light to our minds. 9 The law that brings respect for the Lord is pure. It lasts forever. The directions the Lord gives are true. All of them are completely right. 10 They are more priceless than gold. They have greater value than huge amounts of pure gold. They are sweeter than honey that is taken from the honeycomb. 11 I am warned by them. When I obey them, I am greatly rewarded. (The Message) Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson

· Father God, we have created a relativism in our world that causes us to white-wash Your hedge of protection with an arrogant independence from You. A little bit of compromise here, a turn of the head to look the other way and before we know it, we are being found making our own man-made fires and walking in the temporary light of them. Father draw this family to the reality of Your truth and keep us positioned in the strength of its purity and righteousness. Help us not to be a family who walks the broad path of foolish relativism in our morality, purity or holiness. May we be a family whose lives are not tainted by the pollen of the broad path of life, but a family who wholly lives by the Word of God, following the narrow path, setting our life compass by the directions contained within the pages of our Bibles; the living, powerful and genuinely spoken Words of our Almighty God! Help us to be a family who chooses life, life in the Word, life in the Integrity of God that makes our hard days yield absolute, God given goodness. Make it so in us Lord Jesus! Draw us to Your Living Word.

Youth Leader Discipleship

Hey God's Precious Youth Leaders!

We are going to start with talking about purpose, seeing God's purpose in everything you do in Youth Ministry. Targeting all your activities with the purpose of God and specifically targeting each activity to a target audience. We will define the youth for you so that you will be able to know which youth is in which target audience. Target... Target... Target.... Jesus! Anyway... here is a good start... I read this today: It is by Dr. John Maxwell: Charting the Course for Others Lead good people down a wrong pathand you’ll come to a bad end;do good and you’ll be rewarded for it.Proverbs 28:10 (The Message) Leaders who navigate do even more than control the direction in which they and their people travel. They see the whole trip in their minds before they leave the dock. They have a vision for their destination, they understand what it will take to get there, they know who they’ll need on the team to be successful, and they recognize the obstacles long before they appear on the horizon. First–rate navigators always have in mind that other people are depending on them and their ability to chart a good course, and the secret to successful navigation is preparation. When you prepare well, you convey confidence and trustworthiness to the people. You see, it’s not the size of the project that determines its acceptance, support, and success—it’s the size of the leader. Leaders who are good navigators are capable of taking their people just about anywhere. Written By John Maxwell From: The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership

Here is some youth discipleship wisdom for you from Bob and Kim:

When you plan an activity, service or anything for the youth, you are charting a course to God's purposes for them, you are pointing them in the direction of Jesus and the Kingdom of God and setting them to sail in that direction. Everything you do, every activity has Kingdom Purpose. Never forget that!

You have to know your youth, get to know where they are at in thier walk with God. That takes focus. When you are with the youth, ask God for focus. Leave everything behind you and focus your full attention on the youth. Listen to them and you will know them... you will hear thier heart. It is easy to fall into just "doing" youth ministry, showing up and "doing"... We want you to be leaders who are "being".... Being His... Whole heart, spirit, mind, soul... into what you are being for God... His Message!!!! Be like Jesus... when you say His Name... You have His full attention. Learn your youth... Be focused! Be 100 percent there for them...

Every activity should have a Target Audience of youth: Lost, Seekers, Saved, Servants. You may be doing a large group activity, but you might be targeting a small group within that activity.

You have a platform that God has given you. Every day you step up on that platform and share the gospel light and message in some way. Youth Ministry Is A Platform That God Has Given You To Be His Voice, His Feet, His Love, His Life... You step up on that platform and you are His message. (FYI: a great teaching series on using your God given platform and being His message can be found at www.hillsongtv.com click on TV and then on watch online) If you read the gospels with this in mind... look at Jesus, He always had a target audience. It may have been one person He was targeting or a group or a discipleship group... but He always had a message for that target audience.

If you are planning an activity here might be your target audiences and your message for them:

Lost Youth: Evangelistic Message

Seeking Youth: Salvation Message

Saved Youth: Discipleship Message

Servant Leadership Youth: Seed Planting Message

In the next few weeks we will go through each of these four categories in detail! So you will know what a "Lost Youth" looks like. I am sure you might already know that... but this will get very detailed about what they look like... inside... with outside symptoms that you see.

We are going to talk about this... target audiences... how to do it... how to evangelize, disciple and grow youth in Christ by using a target audience activity... that has Purpose... Planned Purpose... Prayed Up Purpose... Talked Up Purpose...

So here we go... hope you have a great weekend! Happy Mother's Day!

Please....We want you to post a comment each time, so that We know you are getting it and We can hear your feedback, your questions, your insights. Thanks!

Glowing His Glory Bob N Kim

Be...See To It!

“Man still retains within himself the need to love a perfect object that will never disappoint him and to be himself loved totally and unconditionally. These needs can be met only in a relationship with God Himself. Otherwise, we go on demanding unattainable absolutes from human beings.” Quote ByTom Marshall Psalm 62:5-6 I will find my rest in God alone. He is the One who gives me hope. 6 He alone is my rock. He is the One who saves me. He is like a fort to me. I will always be secure. New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society BE….Just Do It… See to it! Life is good and life is hard… but God is always, always the best of both. He never changes, He is always with us. He is our provider, our daily provision in our all in all! Thank you Lord Jesus! When I pray lately, I feel exhorted by God to get ready for a tough season of time that is coming in our United States Of America! Therefore, I pray for our family today that we would “See To It" like verse six of Matthew Chapter 4 says… See To It… One of the ways I am "Seeing To It", is by finding the places of discontentment and dissatisfaction in my life and leveling them out by uprooting the roots of this world and transplanting my roots, deeply planting them in the Kingdom of God. I am learning to live more simply and place my expectations and hopes in God more than I do in this world or the people of this world. Kingdom Focus is one of the ways we need to be found in: “Seeing To It…”! I pray for us, this precious family today, calling out each name to the Father God, because I am God’s Exhorter… I am not a prophet, so I can’t say what is or what is not going to come upon this nation, but I can say and encourage you to… "SEE TO IT…." because this Word of God's scripture below seems strangely familiar, it almost sounds like FOX NEWS last night….. and because He said… “see that you…” so I therefore say to exhort us: “See To It… Be Completely His… Just Do It… See To It!”

Written By Kimberlymac

Matthew 4-14 Jesus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error]. 5For many will come in (on the strength of) My name [[a]appropriating the name which belongs to Me], saying, I am the Christ (the Messiah), and they will lead many astray. 6And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place; 8All this is but the beginning [the early pains] of the [b]birth pangs [of the [c]intolerable anguish]. 9Then they will hand you over to suffer affliction and tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake. 10And then many will be offended and repelled and will [d]begin to distrust and desert [Him Whom they ought to trust and obey] and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred. 11And many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error. 12And the love of [e]the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity, 13But he who endures to the end will be saved. 14And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end.

Suddenly... It Stinketh!!

“He does not need to transplant us into a different field, but right where we are, with just the circumstances that surround us, he makes his sun to shine and his dew to fall upon us, and transforms the very things that were before our greatest hindrances into the chiefest and most blessed means of our growth. No difficulties in your case can baffle him, no dwarfing of your growth in years that are past, no apparent dryness of your inward springs of life, no crookedness or deformity in any of your past development, can in the least mar the perfect work that he will accomplish, if you will only put yourselves absolutely into his hands and let him have his own way with you.” Quote By: Hannah Whitall Smith Dear Precious Family! Jesus is Our Peace! He is a fresh fragrance that enriches our souls and creates an atmosphere of normalcy and security in our spirit; even if our world is suddenly out whack and really stinketh, Jesus Our Prince Of Peace, Is our Immediate Source of Life, Light, Fragrance and Help! Yes He Is! The Fragrance Of God Be With Us! So Be It! Yes, your life can suddenly be interrupted with a stench that encompasses your life-path with irreconcilable stink!!! In other words… suddenly the sh… well in honor of my relationship with the Lord, out of respect for Him…. I will say it like this… suddenly the “doo doo hits the fan” and your world is covered with the mess of it and the sickening smell of it follows you all around, clinging to your thoughts, attitudes and emotions! Yes, suddenly your enemy is shoveling it on you like no other and you feel like the situation is an impossible clean up, you thoughts keep nagging at you, establishing in a your head a mindset that says you will never get your life back to normal! You go to work, the smell is with you, you try to work it off and it still is just as strong, you try all kinds of remedies to clean up and it works temporarily, but then you get up in the morning and you are still stepping in doo, doo… reeking of it! “Just as the wise sailor can use a head wind to carry him forward by tacking and taking advantage of its impelling force; so it is possible for us in our spiritual life through the victorious grace of God to turn to account the things that seem most unfriendly and unfavourable, and to be able to say continually, "The things that were against me have happened to the furtherance of the Gospel.” Quote By Anonymous Okay, What now! Well… you have a choice to make! Here are your options: either you sit in it, grovel in it, try temporary air fresheners from today to tomorrow and forever; or maybe you could do the religiosity thing: “this doo-doo is not here”… “ this doo-doo does not smell bad”… “I bind this doo- doo In the Name of Jesus”… “I command you smelly doo-doo to be gone”; or you could cry out to Jesus and watch and see how He comes… immediately…. right to where you are… sitting right next to you in the middle of the stench, the mess and the impossibility…. He comes! Yes! You could tell Him the truth that He already sees, already smells! You could tell Him: “Jesus, my life is a mess, it really stinks and I can’t fix it, I have tried… but nothing has changed. I don’t know how this happened to me, but suddenly I am in this impossible life-situation and I can’t clean it up by myself and I feel stuck in this reeking mess and Oh boy does it stink to high heaven!” He will tell you: “I AM here with You. I will be with You through it and I will stay in it with you until it is cleaned up.” He will say: “Take My Right Hand and promise Me that you will not just “go” through this, but that you will “grow” through this with Me, by My power and My strength!” He will come along side of You and together you will sweep up the mess as you follow His lead, daily doing what He asks, what is right and working out Your relationship with Him until the reeking mess is gone! “Buried under the biggest burden is a good place to find an even bigger blessing.” Quote By Janette Oke Yes, He is the Right Choice! Whether You Created The Mess Or Someone Dumped It On You, The Only Permanent Solution to Your Sudden Stink Is Jesus! 1. He will purify your life path with the Presence of The Holy Spirit and He will fill your life with His fragrance that completely overwhelms any kind of “doo, doo” that hits the fan of your life! 2. His peace can and will carry you through, until your life path is pure, clean and new. It is Finished! After all… He is the Prince Peace! He is the Peace that surpasses all “doo-doo” and there is no “doo-doo” that He has not smelled, that He can’t deal with, that He can’t cleanse. He and only He can make your life clean, pure and fragrant again by His Holiness and Power. He can! He will! 3. He is Lord of the Impossible! Impossible does not challenge or even tap into His vast ability and mighty sovereign power! To Him, your clean up is far from impossible, there is nothing unfeasible to Him! What seems like an insurmountable situation to you, to Him it is already cleaned up and solved. He is the Master of the messes! There is no disarray that can challenge Him in any way. Nothing confuses Him, nothing stumps Him and nothing surprises Him! He created us, He knows the ways of man and He has seen firsthand what the flesh can “doo-doo”! WE do not challenge Him, He is after all… Almighty Creator God!! 4. He is Sovereign and in control of our environment and He can clean up any mess mankind creates by our fleshly failing and by the consequences of sin! 5. He is our Peace, our Fragrance that makes the stenches of this life bearable, purified and eventually brand new! “Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God's plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins. God's love is still working. He comes in and takes the calamity and uses it victoriously, working out His wonderful plan of love.” Quote By Eric Liddell Precious Family, when the “doo-doo” hits the fan on your life path, I pray that you will turn to Jesus… He is there…. Always with us! He waits for you to call out to Him from the pit of stench and He will pick you up, cleanse you off give you the tools, wisdom, strength, peace, perseverance and hope in quality and quantity; more than you could ever hope for dream for or imagine for your situation. He after all is, “The Price of Peace” and you will know His Peace that can surpass any “doo-doo” that the consequences of humanity’s sin, the consequences of your choices, the trials of life, the tempting of your enemy, the attack of your enemy…. All of it… Jesus alone is all you need. He is the Permanent Peace, the Ever present Fragrance that surpasses anything that for any reason, hits the fan and suddenly covers you in the “doo-doo” of humanity. YES…Jesus surpasses everything and anything and He can and He will make all things new! Jesus! Praise You! Prince Of Peace! Almighty God! You are….. You will be…. You can… You do! When Life Suddenly Stinks! Take Hope! The Fragrance Of God Rules! Jesus! Written by Kimberlymac “When circumstances seem impossible, when all signs of grace in you seem at their lowest ebb, when temptation is fiercest, when love and joy and hope seem well-nigh extinguished in your heart, then rest, without feeling and without emotion, in the Father's faithfulness.” Quote By D. Tryon Precious Family: I pray today for His Peace, His Presence, His Provision, His Protection And His Position of Grace To Be Yours Today In Abundance! Just Do It! Cry Out To Jesus every time your life-path suddenly gets littered by the stench of “do-do”! He will be with you through it all! Jesus!

Live Deep-Love Deeper-Be Found In Jesus!

• I was raised in the Catholic Church and taught a deep reverence and dutiful respect for God! As I grew up in the Catholic Church, I experienced “working for God”, doing all I could do to please Him, to be approved by Him and yet never truly feeling I could come close to Him.
• At nineteen years old, February 14th 1975 I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. I received a joy, a light, a new kind of love that totally encompassed me. I opened a bible for the first time in my life and began partaking of a new manner of soul nourishment, saturating all the barren, parched places of my heart. The Lord gifted me with the primary gifts of intercession and exhortation and gave me undergirding gifts of hospitality, giving and administration to motivate and activate my primary gifts. I “lived to serve” to do, as my childhood heritage demanded, instead of what my new life in me testified of: “loving to serve” being found in Jesus, loving deeply!
• I left the Catholic Church a year after I was saved. My first real pastor that I encountered on my journey towards Lordship, just fed into my childhood “religiosity” and I became a full-fledged “doer”. I strived so hard to please this pastor, but to no avail. After years of really hard work, he ended up telling me that I would never amount to anything because I was uneducated! He assured me that I would never rise higher in his staff or be given a title or a position, no matter how hard I worked or how much I accomplished. I had hit a dead end! My dreams were destroyed with a death blow as he continued to share with me that the gifts God had given me could not be used by me, because I was not good enough or smart enough for them. I had no title, no position and no earthly certification. I was once again finishing 2nd best… something that had dogged me throughout my life! My dreams died hard that day!
• Working!! Doing!! I was left with no hope and deep regret that I had worked so hard… all those years… that it had kept me from loving deeply. I did not have the time to love deeply! I was working too hard… doing! I thought I had to work hard to be excellent, yet I only ended up performing shallowly! I had moments and glimpses of loving deeply, but only to be unbalanced each time by striving harder, trying to achieve a title, trying to be positioned higher and pushing myself beyond my human limits to keep up the image of doing Christianity at a “cut above” all others; which was a requirement of an elders wife in this church, a duty that was totally exhausting for me as I sought a success that was approval based and way out of my reach.
• All during this season of my life, Jesus was wooing me towards Him! He was using the disappointed hopes, the second best self image, the unfilled religiosity, the death of my dreams for approval, the unattainable title and position and my people pleasing mentality… for my good!
• My gifts were bubbling up inside of me, but I willed them down by a self image that was barricaded with “you are not good enough”. I pushed down the gifts God freely gave me, waiting to use them when I was good enough for them, when I had gained approval and I continued to work harder to prove that I was good enough, to try to please this pastor and gain his consent! I did my utmost not unto God’s Highest, but to be rewarded with approval, title and position. I became steeped in religiosity, regret, guilt and self-abasement! I pressed myself to work harder, instead of love deeper. I pushed myself to attain the standards I was held to: “You must dress a cut above others; you must be at prayer every morning at 6am, you must do this and do that, be this way, act this way to be approved!” Yet doing all of what was required of me, never led me to a deeper love, but to be led by duty, tasks and doing more and more to try to please, to try to be good enough. Yes, I did end up in a heap on the floor of the foundation of my personal dreams!!! But God….
• Jesus used all of these life-experiences and He took these things and worked in the unseen to shatter my childhood life-perceptions that had gripped my self image in dead works. My Potter was breaking me and shaping me, molding me anew!
• On my path to Lordship, God used the associate pastor of this church to begin me on my road to true freedom. I was standing in a prayer meeting full of words of exhortation that God had given me, I felt them bubbling up in me, yet my self-image kept willing them down because I knew I was not approved to speak them. This associate pastor freed me as he said to me: “be found in God…. you have His gifts in you… He is with you…. don’t be afraid…speak out the Words He has given you… it is His Voice in you… use it…. speak it…” His confidence in me, gave me the courage to speak out, to use the gifts God had given me. From that day forward, I began an exciting adventure as I yielded to the Lord, and began to be found in Him, not myself but in Him! In His Presence, my relationship began to be moved out from under the task master of doing, to the Love of God, to being His and being positioned in His Grace!
• Over the years that followed, the Lord taught me so much about loving deeper; He began to work out His salvation in me day by day, teaching me and showing me how to “be” instead of “do” and how to “deeply-love-being” instead of “shallow-dutiful-doing”. I began loving God deeper and loving others unconditionally, I learned what it was like to “grow” (live) through life, not just “go” (dutiful) through it!
• I was saved on February 14th, 1975, but My road to Lordship culminated in my youngest daughters junior year of high school after we had been in a car accident and had to be rescued by her boyfriend’s family. It was their act of sacrificial love that cut deeply at my “religious heart”, laying it open and showing me the critical, judgmental, religious, dutiful, heartless person I truly had been. At two o’clock in the morning, I sat cross-legged on the bathroom floor of this home in Atlanta, bowed before God. I wholly faced My God and I threw off the hindrance of “religiosity” that kept me from loving God deeper, loving others unconditionally! Immediately, I experienced an undeserving love so unfathomable, that it cut away all the remaining strings of an unforgiving, critical, merciless, judgmental spirit and I surrendered my life totally to the Lordship of Christ Jesus, to “be” completely His! Life was no longer about me trying to prove myself, trying to be good enough… and me trying to make my family good enough… and me trying to make others live up to my standard of “religiosity”; it was all about Him, being found willessly in Jesus, serving only Him.
• I changed that fateful night, from a dutiful-affiliation to God to a heart-relationship with God; Spirit-to-spirit from doing-performing to being-living! I was no longer an overwhelmed servant with a long task list; but a spirit-led “seasoned servant” with a “living legacy” who was no longer tasked by approval, but tasked by the Spirit of God by His power and might!
• The first noticeable change was in our home life and it began to change dramatically. My children say AMEN to that! In our home, it was all about doing for approval! Performing religious tasks! Our family “doings” yoked our “being found in Him” with a heavy performance bondage, that set “religiosity” as a precedence in our home! There was no mercy, no forgiveness, no forgetting, no unconditional love! “I told you so!” was a commonly used phrase. I used to make my kids have devotions, make them read their bibles and keep journals… and I would check that they had written in their journals each day before they were allowed to do anything else…. doing… AHH Lord God… But now… it is about being… being in relationship with Him and each other and sharing Jesus…. Loving deeply! We are free to love Jesus and love each other deeply! No regrets!! I know I am leaving a Living Legacy for my children and grandchildren because I am being found in Jesus, loving deep!!
• To this day, I am still a servant who loves to do, but my do now has a common denominator of being! I am being found in Jesus! My legacy is no longer dead works but it is a living legacy of love!
• One day, a long time ago an associate pastor obeyed God and encouraged me to be found in Jesus. It changed the course of my life! So today I pay that forward and encourage you to: Love Deep! Be found in Jesus! Humble yourself at the feet of Jesus because the successful life is not about striving to do human works, to get a higher position or a better title… it is all about Jesus and His Love! Success is being faithful to love Jesus, being found in Him, led by His Holy Spirit each day being God’s broken vessel of Light that pierces the night with His redeeming power and love! Love Deeply! Glow His Glory! God Bless You Much… Indeed! Kimberly Mac PS.........Dear Family and Friends: I heard a sermon today from www.gochristfellowship.com called “Love Deeper” by Pastor Tom Mullins. This sermon is definitely what I call “The Bridegroom’s Voice”. The Church is the Bride of Christ and now is the time that Jesus, The Bridegroom is preparing His Bride for the Wedding Celebration. Please pass on this sermon to everyone you know… it is The Bridegroom’s Voice, it is the Holy Spirit dressing-preparing the Church for a season of time such as this! I strongly encourage you, family and friends to make a divine appointment for your spirit to be “dressed”, take time out of your schedule this week and listen to this sermon. Go to the website above, look down on the left hand side of the web page and you will see: “check out the archives”, click on this and find the sermon called: “Love Deeper” Tom Mullins 4/13/08.

Family Prayer: Willessness=Revival

Excerpt From Family Prayer: “Willessness=Revival” Written By: Kimberly Mac Precious One, today if you are stuck in a riptide of life circumstances and tired of striving and beating the air…. Be revived in Him! Discipline yourself to willessness and be found in His purposes! Psalm 69:32 The humble shall see it and be glad; you who seek God, inquiring for and requiring Him [as your first need], let your hearts revive and live! Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation I have been learning over the past year to live a life of “willessness” before God. My nature used to pay forward a disrespectful-cocky arrogance, as I made my own plans and clung tightly to my personal dreams! I have experienced by my many “willful flesh fits” that personal dreams, plans and wants tightly held on too, is like swimming in a rip tide desperately striving to make it to your safe place, where you know your feet will be anchored in pleasant sand! If you have ever fought against a rip tide, you know that all you get is very tired, frustrated, defeated and nowhere fast! Precious Family, Jesus is placed over our all in all! It is our place to be willess before Him, positioned in His Grace: silent, still, trusting and honoring Him first; only then will we safely reach the Kingdom Shore and step out confidently in the big footprints of God! The cool thing is… willessness-obedience always leads to a better way and has totally surprised me many times as I have realized God’s Kingdom purposes, plans, dreams and visions and seeing through heavenly hindsight how they have yielded more than I ever expected, hoped or dreamed for! Willessness! Just Do It! Glow In The Glory Of His Reviving Presence! *My Prayer-HIS-THOUGHTS: KimberlyMac Shining 4-Him-Always-4Ever!* · Jesus revive us, this family… each one from the inside (our hearts-Your will) to the outside (our life-walk-Your plan)!
