Monday, February 13th – Alignment

Listen! The Bridegroom Speaks About A Narrow Road

My Bride, Your situation sways you because of the limited understanding you have from the superficiality of your culturally adapted eye-sight. Change your perspective! I do reign on earth and it is with a sovereignty not characterized by the foreseen, but by My unexpected kingdom purpose put into play by My Holy Spirit! Presently, you see your environment only through your natural eyes and you are not engaging with supernatural truth! You do have a choice to make! Will you believe in Me, pursue Me, or will you continue to chase your feelings down a long and winding bunny trail? My reality is experienced though sanctified ears and soul-eyes. Do you have these? What are you listening to? What are you watching? Today, Bride of Christ, I see your heart aligned with the peripheral understanding of your circumstances! I agree, the narrow road is a tough ride, but it brings all your being in holy alliance with Me! What you need to do right now is to spend time in My Presence and in My Word. If you would take time to listen with your inner spirit, you would discern the God-minded plan for these turbulent circumstances that seem to triumph over your courage and trample your peace. Today, My thoughts can be your thoughts! What is your choice!? What will you do when the enemy seems to have the upper hand? I say: play the trump card -the promises of God!

Here Are Some Great Scriptures To Dig Deep In And Check Out Your Holy Alignment With God This Week:

The Bridegroom's Spoken Word! His Voice Written On Your Heart!

Day 1 - 2 Day 3 – 4 Day 5 – 6 Day 7 – Selah

Proverbs 3:1-8 Matthew 7:13-29 Luke 13: 23-30 Matthew 13: 24-52

Luke 21:33-38 Isaiah 45:5-19 Proverbs 15:1-33 Psalm 19:4-14

Job 11:7-15 Psalm 119:101-125 Psalm 25:8-14 Deuteronomy 5:23-33

1 Corinthians 2:8-16 Psalm 143:6-8 Isaiah 9:1-7 1 Corinthians 13:11-13

Isaiah 45:5

I am the Lord, and there is no one else; there is no God besides Me. I will gird and arm you, though you have not known Me,6 That men may know from the east and the rising of the sun and from the west and the setting of the sun that there is no God besides Me. I am the Lord, and no one else [is He].7 I form the light and create darkness, I make peace [national well-being] and I create [physical] evil (calamity); I am the Lord, Who does all these things.

Some Questions To Ponder In Your Heart As You Sit With AWE-GOD, Fully Facing Him! Think On These:

Who have you aligned your life with?
What have you aligned your mind with?
Who is your hope aligned with?
Everything we do or say in life comes out of being aligned with our strength, our knowledge or God's strength and God's truth. Which One Are You Aligned With? God or Self?
Another Good Question Is? Are we aligned with our soul-emotions or with God's promises?

Psalm 143:6-8 (Amplified Bible) I spread forth my hands to You; my soul thirsts after You like a thirsty land [for water]. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 7 Answer me speedily, O Lord, for my spirit fails; hide not Your face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the pit (the grave). 8 Cause me to hear Your loving-kindness in the morning, for on You do I lean and in You do I trust. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my inner self to You.

Our Holy Alignment With God Causes Us To Be An Incredible Testimony Of His Love! So Stay Positioned In God This Week And Testify To His Love With Your Life!

YOU VERSION NOTE – GOD INSPIRED- GOD WRITTEN

Philippians 4:11-13

Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am.12 I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want.13 I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].

Redirect My Pursuits AWE-FATHER GOD! I want to be redirected and be found content simply-significantly in Christ Jesus! I am learning this and it truly has been a redirection of what I have been chasing after. When I chase after my wants to try to keep myself in that all illusive human comfort zone, I am never truly satisfied, just burned out tired! Crazy isn't it, that our comfort zones we strive to keep in place around ourselves are actually places of deep discontentment! Hmmmmm! Stop Chasing After My Wants And Step Out Of My Comfort Zone! Yes! I would rather be found in the flow of God's Kingdom Purposes, even if it is taking the path of spiritual risk and living dangerously for God. Why? Because this kind of risky surrender makes me vulnerable, responsive clay in the Potter God's Hands! It is truly a risk to tear down my comfort zone and completely bear my heart to The Potter God, in order to be shaped by Him for Kingdom growth! True Contentment is a place I can only find in the perfect, Sovereign Will of my Father God, it isn't something I have chased down and created for myself, it is a position God placed me in at salvation, a position in His Grace. When I chase my human rights, my worldly plans, my excessive creature-comfort-wants, I leave this position of God-Grace and step right into insatiable human discontentment, which I like to call "the human condition". I can kindle my own fire and walk by the light of it only temporarily, because unlike the light of God's all consuming fire, my fire flames out, not lasting the storms of my culture. Nothing I chase in this world, can replace the peace I have when I am positioned in my Father God's Grace! When I pursue God 1st, being called to Him 1st, I may not find this to be a hospitable-comfortable place for my wants, my plans or my dreams, but I need to stay put, instead of running from the discomfort I feel, because this for sure will be a place of God's peace, a position in Christ that surpasses all of the earthly things I personally chase after. I am redirected by surrendered followship that plants me smack in the center of the flow of God's Kingdom Purposes, a place where inner contentment flows in abundance as I put all my hopes and expectations in God and He returns His Sovereign Will wrapped up in His Peace and His Infinite Love. Redirected by God's Holy Spirit, I am no longer chasing the wind, or being tossed to and fro by the storms in my life. Pursuits redirected to Kingdom purpose, cause me to be caught up by the Holy Spirit, Who captivates me with His contentment and anchors me by His great hope. Positioned in God's Grace and in pursuit of His Kingdom Purposes, I know without a doubt that I have a great future and hope and my life journey is sweetened with God's Grace and strengthened by His Joy! I don't chase my wants anymore; it is a futile race that I can't win. I run the race of faith and I persevere with a huge prayerful desire to be found in the perfect Kingdom Purpose flow of my Heavenly Father, because in this position, all things that are uncomfortable to my flesh will eventually be "Kingdom Good", and in this future promise and hope rests my contentment! AWE-FATHER GOD!

YOU VERSION READING PLAN- THOUGHTS AS I READ:

Isaiah 7

They were up against the impossible and God told the Prophet to tell them not to fear, to quiet their fears in the face of fierce anger- God had the final say and the outcome was His.
If you don't trust in the words of the prophet and rely on God, then you will not remain. Wow… can you imagine being told that! They had a choice.
Ahaz said he would not ask for a sign from God, He would not tempt God, and the prophet said back to HIM you try the patience of God and of me. Then he told Ahaz about the coming messiah, this was God's sign of deliverance.
The prophet said Ahaz was sickened with dread… interesting analogy but so very true

Isaiah 8

Write in the way that even the humblest man can read
Prophecy about the riches of Samaria, Israel's capital being taken away to the king of Assyria
Why? The people tried to do things on their own, independent from God… refused and despised the waters of Shiloah- perennial fountain of Jerusalem, symbolic of God's protection and sustaining power.
Therefore God brought upon them the waters of the River Euphrates, strong and many…. The armies will sweep into Judah, overflowing, reaching to the neck of Jerusalem.
You can wage war in an uproar, yet be broken into pieces and you can take counsel together but it will come to naught, you can speak words but they will not stand when God is for you, nothing is against you.
Do not be afraid, do not fear what they fear or make other afraid. God should be your fear, God should be your dread, let you offend Him by fear of man and distrust of Him!
God is the sanctuary- the sacred indestructible asylum to those who reverently fear and trust in HIM
He is also a stumbling block and a Rock of offense to those He has judged – they shall fall and stumble, be broken and snared.
When the Lord hides His face against your country, all you can do is wait, look for and hope in God.
Getting direction from mediums and wizards is like consulting the dead on behalf of the living.
Direct yourself to the Word of God-His testimonial promises – stand in accord with His Word and there will be a morning dawn to your night season
If you consult a medium, there will be no help for you. When hungry you will fret and curse. No matter where you look, you will only se distress and darkness, gloom and anguish… you will be driven away into the thick darkness of an obscure night.

Mark 3

He Pharisees did not care about the man with the withered hand, all they cared about was their stupid rules. They did not celebrate what God had done, instead they confronted Jesus because he broke their religious law.
Can you imagine how stony their hearts were that they confronted the King of Heaven about a man made law!
Jesus completely restored this man's hand and it did not even faze them, they only wanted revenge because they felt Jesus mocked their religious laws. They did not even see the miracle, they were blinded by the law.
People heard about Jesus and came for many different villages
Jesus planned a way of escape, by telling the disciples to have a boat ready because the crowds had a way of pushing him and pressing up against him so that they might touch Him.
The demons fell before Him, recognizing that He was The Son of God… interesting how the Pharisees could not see what the demons saw.
Jesus called those He wanted and chose them to be with Him, to be his apostles or special messengers. He gave them authority and power to heal the sick and drive out demons.
Simon He named Peter; James son of Zebedee; John the brother of James, Jesus named them Sons of Thunder; Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew-Nathaniel, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaues, and Thaddeus; Simon called Zelotes and Judas Iscariot who betrayed Him.
Can you imagine being Judas and forever going down in history as one who betrayed God. It makes me feel sorry for him, but it also puts a steel will in me to not betray God..
Jesus' family thought he had gone insane and they plotted to take him away. The scribes added to it by saying He was possessed by Beelzebub and by the prince of demons, He is casting out demons.
Jesus said how can that be possible: satan driving out satan? A kingdom that is divided and rebelling against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided, split into factions and rebelling against itself, that house will not last!
You can't say yes to some things and no to others – divided in heart, your Christianity will not stand.
You can't plunder a strong man's house unless you bind him 1^st.
An everlasting trespass: speaking abusively or maliciously represents the Holy Spirit- no forgiveness for this.
My mother and brothers? Who are they? They are the ones who do the things God wills.

My Thoughts About This = Miraculous Musings! J

I just love-love-love-love how our Father God always has the final say! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

You can choose to be content every day. This is worth more than all the material possessions you could possibly accumulate in a lifetime. Joyce Meyer

God loves because that is His nature. He is love (see 1 John 4:8). He may not always love everything we do, but He does love us. God's love is the power that forgives our sins, heals our emotional wounds and mends our broken hearts (see Psalm 147:3). God's love is unconditional; it is based on Him, not us! Once you realize that God loves you regardless of what you have or haven't done, you can experience incredible breakthrough. You can quit trying to earn His love and simply receive it and enjoy it. Joyce Meyer

Ephesians 1:3-8

May blessing (praise, laudation, and eulogy) be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual (given by the Holy Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm!4 Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.5 For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him and was His kind intent]--6 [So that we might be] to the praise and the commendation of His glorious grace (favor and mercy), which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.7 In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of His gracious favor,8 Which He lavished upon us in every kind of wisdom and understanding (practical insight and prudence),9 Making known to us the mystery (secret) of His will (of His plan, of His purpose). [And it is this:] In accordance with His good pleasure (His merciful intention) which He had previously purposed and set forth in Him,

We need a new mindset. We need to start believing that God's Word is true. Matthew 19:26 tells us that with God all things are possible. All He needs is our faith in Him. He needs for us to believe, and He will do the rest. Joyce Meyer

Joyce Meyer: Promises for Your Everyday Life - a Daily Devotional

1 John 4:10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. (NLT)

Love must follow this course or it is not complete. Once we have God's love in us, we can give it away. We can choose to love others lavishly. We can love them as deeply and unconditionally as God has loved us. Joyce Meyer

John Maxwell Global 2020 Summit Notes:

If there is anything good it is because You have shined Your face on it.

You have breathed Your favor upon it.

May this be the beginning of trained leaders being transformed. I have asked a lot but I have asked nothing that is too big for You Lord.

Psalm 137: 1-6 Three questions every leader needs to ask themselves…

Psalm 137 is in trouble with a leadership problem… we cried and cried and remembered the good old days… we stacked our unplayed harps… our captors demanded songs… How can we sing God's song in this wasteland

1. What do you cry about?

2. What do you sing about?

If I ever forget you, let my fingers wither and fall off like leaves…

3. What do you dream about?

Cried about people not reaching their potential because they had bad leadership. Everything rises and falls on leadership. This is an eternal principle. When leadership is bad, there is no song. People were born to sing, but they don't sing, they can't… there is nothing to sing about. They don't have good leadership.

What do I cry about. People who do not have good leaders.

When He saw the crowds, His heart breaks because they are lost, confused without a shepherd. Without great godly leadership there is no hope for people. Jesus knew this.

Working hard isn't the answer. It is all about Jesus, His passion in your heart.

Nehemiah asked about the Jews and Jerusalem: I ask them about the conditions … conditions are appalling.. city gates cinders… when I heard this I sat down and wept. I mourned for days fasting and praying for the God of heaven…

They had a leadership problem….

Nehemiah teach us You never lighten the load for OHTERS until you feel the load Yourself. The burden gives leadership integrity, purity comes when it hurts you when you see people that don't have good leadership. If we don't feel the burden 1^st, we can't with authenticity lift the burden for others.

Before I can transform anything, I must be transformed… leadership begins with me!

Every effective leader feels the weight of their calling! You understand you can't escape it.

Luis Fernando Rodriquez pray for God to raise him up as a leader.

You can't shake the burden of the responsibility of training leaders…

What I sing about… People who become good leaders…

Leaders can be trained…. I sing because people can LEARN to lead.

1. Give people a leader who can teach them

We teach what we know but we reproduce who we ARE

Give people resources that can help them….

Lives are changed by resources, not just by talking alone…

How can people learn to lead?

3. Give people experiences that can develop them

Jesus' Idea of Discipleship

Instruction in a life related context

Demonstration in a life related context

Exposure in a life related context

Accountability in a life related context!

I sing…

2. Because Equip is developing leaders.

3. We are raising leaders up Together

Together we can do great tings

The law of Significance one is too small a number to achieve greatness.

The only way we can compound is to work as a team. One is too small to achieve greatness

The law of Mt Everest as the challenge escalates the need for teamwork elevates.

The law of accountability teammates must be able to count on each other when it counts

We have to do something that lives beyond ourselves, something significant

4. I sing because this is our First time to be together…

Doing things to people can lead to exploitation

Leadership gets things done Trough and with people.

I sing.. Because God has blessed us

God has chosen in His Sovereignty to give favor to us

Ephesians 3:20 God can do anything far more than you could request withing your wildest dreams

Ask God to do something so big for you, no one would be tempted to give you the credit.

God chose to use us in His Sovereignty…

God wants to fill us up to overflowing, power, anointing, grace… never to be the same…

The Holy Spirit wants to do a work in your life. If we raise up Godly leaders, it will change this world

Serve with David's heart. Live a life of sacrifice like Jesus

Legacy to serve the world….

If you are teaching leadership, you must live leadership John Hall

2012 Global 2020 From training to transformation.

The most effective way to fulfill the great commission of Jesus Christ is to raise up quality leaders who love Jesus Christ

Leadership Godly Leaders

They are persistent; they find and connect with like-minded people; they are persistent; they know and consistently do the things that produce results; they value the cause greater than themselves; they realize that transformation is difficult and takes time; they close the gap between knowing and doing; ;they face failure and do not fear it, learning from it to become better; they experience God's blessing and are grateful; they become change-agents and positively make a difference to others.

Redirect My Pursuits!

Philippians 4:11-13

Crazy isn't it, that our comfort zones we strive to keep in place around ourselves are actually places of deep discontentment! Hmmmmm! Stop Chasing After My Wants And Step Out Of My Comfort Zone! Yes! I would rather be found in the flow of God's Kingdom Purposes, even if it is taking the path of spiritual risk and living dangerously for God.

Why? Because this kind of risky surrender makes me vulnerable, responsive clay in the Potter God's Hands! It is truly a risk to tear down my comfort zone and completely bear my heart to The Potter God, in order to be shaped by Him for Kingdom growth! True Contentment is a place I can only find in the perfect, Sovereign Will of my Father God, it isn't something I have chased down and created for myself, it is a position God placed me in at salvation, a position in His Grace.

When I chase my human rights, my worldly plans, my excessive creature-comfort-wants, I leave this position of God-Grace and step right into insatiable human discontentment, which I like to call "the human condition". I can kindle my own fire and walk by the light of it only temporarily, because unlike the light of God's all consuming fire, my fire flames out, not lasting the storms of my culture. Nothing I chase in this world, can replace the peace I have when I am positioned in my Father God's Grace!

I am redirected by surrendered followship that plants me smack in the center of the flow of God's Kingdom Purposes, a place where inner contentment flows in abundance as I put all my hopes and expectations in God and He returns His Sovereign Will wrapped up in His Peace and His Infinite Love. Redirected by God's Holy Spirit, I am no longer chasing the wind, or being tossed to and fro by the storms in my life.

Pursuits redirected to Kingdom purpose, cause me to be caught up by the Holy Spirit, Who captivates me with His contentment and anchors me by His great hope. Positioned in God's Grace and in pursuit of His Kingdom Purposes, I know without a doubt that I have a great future and hope and my life journey is sweetened with God's Grace and strengthened by His Joy!

I don't chase my wants anymore; it is a futile race that I can't win. I run the race of faith and I persevere with a huge prayerful desire to be found in the perfect Kingdom Purpose flow of my Heavenly Father, because in this position, all things that are uncomfortable to my flesh will eventually be "Kingdom Good", and in this future promise and hope rests my contentment! AWE-FATHER GOD!

Monday Manna Munch!

Welcome! Monday Manna Munch Is For Our Nourishment –AND- For Us To Use To Encourage Sharing And Caring For Each Other!

1ST

Let's Share Together! Everyone type into the chat what comes in your heart after you read the scripture I post.

Let's get an atmosphere of encouragement going-growing-giving in the online campus living room!

We Are Chatting About "Rejoicing"!

Philippians 4:4

Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice

Rejoice! Again I Say Rejoice! Twice It Was Said! Why? Why is it important for us to rejoice? Rejoice in all things?

It Takes Our Focus Off Ourselves, Puts It On God!

It Stirs Up Our Hope In God – Puts Our Expectations In The Right Place- Not In Us, But In Him

What is the amazing "key" to rejoicing in all things found in this scripture?

We Belong To God! This Is A Key Truth To Cling To - To Dig Our Roots Deeply In!

We belong to God! The ONE Who is in control of all of this! The ONE Who has got this!

Where is our focus? On Us Or On God?

Our present may not look the way we think it should, but we have an amazing future in God.

Things may not be the way you "think" they should be working out in your life, BUT GOD's Purposes are in play and all will "eventually be "Kingdom Good"

#10

Don't Worry! Worry Trumps Our Rejoicing With A Weight That Crushes The Joy In Our Spirit!

#11

I also think worry focuses us on ourselves, we get out of alignment with God's hope

#12

There is a sweet, sweet promise of God for us Who rejoice!

Philippians 4: 7 Then God's peace will watch over your hearts and your minds because you belong to Christ Jesus.

#13

Think About What Your Desert Ground Is Right Now… Then Think On This! Selah

Isaiah 35

The Lord Will Set His People Free

1 The desert and the dry ground will be glad.

The dry places will be full of joy.

Flowers will grow there.

Like the first crocus in the spring,

#14

Have you ever been a desert or a dry ground and it seemed more than what you could bear? Were you glad? Were you full of joy? How did you get that way?

Took my focus off the hot sand, put it on my promised future in the Kingdom of God

Parched my thirst with God's Living Word

Praise! Praise lifts my eyesight off the forever desert unto the God of HOPE

#15

2 the desert will bloom with flowers.

It will be very glad and shout with joy.

The glorious beauty of Lebanon will be given to it.

It will be as beautiful as the rich lands

of Carmel and Sharon.

#16

How does rejoicing in our hard times benefit God and His Kingdom

#17

My hard times, the things I am "growing through" in my personal desert are God's purposes at work in me, purposely He is trying to bloom me in the desert so others can be blessed, be drawn to HIM

#18

Everyone will see the glory of the Lord. They will see the beauty of our God.

#19

When we rejoice, when the joy of the Lord is all over our lives, we strengthen others!

3 Strengthen the hands of those who are weak.

Help those whose knees give way.

#20

Our lives are so much more beautiful and attractive if we are rejoicing at all times... I truly believe this

#21

How Is This A Picture Of Rejoicing And How Can We Learn From It How To Rejoice?

1 Chronicles 16:7-9

8 Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done. 9 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. 10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. 11 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.

#22

I can just imagine standing in a desert and singing to God and praising HIM; what a picture that would be to others standing in the same desert, suffering from the heat and lack of water!!

#23

Taking all our negative thoughts that come out of our deserts and flipping them to praise!

#24

Praise! Thanksgiving! Gratefulness! These All Stir Up Our Rejoicing! Strengthen Our Joy! Bring Us Relief In Our Deserts!

#25

Share This Song This Week With Someone! Encourage them to have joy in their desert! Rejoice In God! Praise Him! Declare His Promises With Someone!

Monday Morning Manna Munch

Monday, February 6th - Rejoice

Listen! The Bridegroom Speaks About Rejoicing!

Dearest Bride, When you think about My return what is the thought arising from the corridor of your mind and knocking on the door of your heart? What emotions do reflecting on My return stir up in your soul? Do you day dream about how wonderful it will be to finally be united with Me? I have listened to your heart and peeked at your soul this past week and lately the reflections of your spirit have no joyful image! I understand you are going through hard times! Lawlessness is not easy to deal with, especially when there are a lot of people habitually sinning! In your generation, most choices are leading towards bad options because people are doing what is easy, culturally correct and commonly done by others, instead of what is right. I can suppose, in times such as these, the consequences of people's self absorbed lifestyle is difficult to bear. I have walked in your shoes and I understand how you feel! I can empathize with how your outlook on life can be affected as you regularly receive negative input from your world. In light of all My suffering, joy was My choice, I chose to rejoice in the good times and the bad times. Do you, My Church? Do you have joy? Are you rejoicing in all things?
