Flesh Or Spirit

WARNING: Conviction and growth may result.

Have you ever stopped and examined your own life patterns and behavior? Have you pondered and been honest about your real intent behind these actions?

Generally speaking most of us don’t. We might run at a frenetic pace and crash hard or on the opposite end, we might be lethargic and unmotivated. In either case, we tend not to examine our own tendencies.

A great flag to see where our hearts are at is to simply look at our calendar and bank account. Where are we spending two of our greatest resources?.

Is your money and time going to adorn yourself or meet the needs of your neighbor? In a time when people are now jobless, high-risk for travel, and scared, are you assisting them in any way?

Let me interject and say this is not attempt to guilt you into serving or giving. It is a wake up call for you to move toward joy.

When we truly set our minds on walking in spirit and in truth, we take our eyes off of ourselves and see the needs around us. When we give our hearts are in line with their purpose and joy results.

Ask God to show you who can you help today? Then help them. (Simple, right?)

Crucified With Christ

When we hear, “Into your hand I commit my spirit” it reminds us of what Christ said on the cross before He died.

Most of us will not experience crucifixion ourselves and yet the Bible tells us we were crucified with Christ.

The old man in us was put to death and the new man resurrected. Though we forget this at times, His word and children remind us.

Paul instructs us to “present our bodies as a living sacrifice; holy and pleasing to God” (Romans 12:1)

It is a powerful statement to commit your spirit to something. I urge you brothers and sisters to do that today.

Commit your spirit to Christ and do the work that he has commanded you to do (Matthew 28:18-20).

Love,serve, and disciple others with all your time, energy, and resources. This world is not our home. Let’s live like we understand that!

Let Him Order The Steps

Sunday was 65 degrees and sunny. I was looking for an excuse to break the bike out of its prison (the garage).

We needed to meet a friend to pick up some things small enough to fit in a backpack. You already see where I am going with this.

My plan quickly formed in my head to get the bike fired up and get the first ride of the season in.

Long story short, it didn’t start. When I finally got it started and moved it to our cement slab I was out of time. Then we had freezing rain and the bike froze to the ground.

Life is like this; filled with potential disappointments and detours and freezing to the ground moments. God is always teaching, especially in those moments.

We can make the best of plans with good intentions even (not like my self-serving ones for my bike). Ultimately, the Lord orders our steps.

Would we really want it any other way? He is always desiring what’s best for us. He is the only One truly for us!

The next time your plans are thwarted, remember, He is ordering your steps for His glory. Embrace it and “ride” with intention and joy; grateful that He is at work.

Have an amazing day!

Good News With Faith

When we hear the good news (the Gospel), we are faced with a decision. Do we step into faith and believe that the God of the universe has made a way for our sins to be paid for?

Or do we continue living the way we have been, thinking, “That’s a nice story.”

We who have heard and believe receive full benefit of the word in all its power. Conversely, those who hear, absent of faith, profit nothing.

As you approach the word of God, do so with reverence and faith, that the very power of every word may draw you closer to Him and equip you to do the good works for which you were designed.

The word is sharper than any two-edged sword. May it pierce deeply between your soul and spirit and cause growth in truth!

He Hears You

This fallen world has a way of leading us into distress. Whether it’s from our own sin or the sin of others, we find ourselves in great need.

God is ready and able to hear you! He’s not far off, but instead He is your ever present help in time of need. He’s never out of range of your cries to Him.

He delivers us from our enemies and also delivers ours enemies into our hands. Nothing is too hard for Him!

Are you in distress today, facing giants you can’t conquer on your own? Cry out to the One True Living God and He will hear you. And deliver those giants into your hand!

Hard Daily

Obedience is simple but not always easy. I remember hearing a voice telling me that I needed to quit me job one day.

Sounds simple until you hear that I had 18 kids at home at the time and this was a well paying job at a Fortune 500 company.

To make it even more interesting, 9 of these kids were recently added to our family so we were still adjusting.

How will everyone get fed? How will we afford food, clothing, etc? Questions flooded my head like a tsunami.

The act of saying, “Yes I will.” was the simple part. Living in that daily decision over the next year and a half was the hard part.

Moses and Aaron said, “Yes, we will.” What they endured going forward was so tough!

They learned to trust the Lord in all things and millions of peoples’ lives have been changed forever as a result.

What ever God is asking you to do today, say “Yes, I will.”, and then be ready to cling to Him as you’re provider.

Watch Him work as He changes lives through you through your simple act of obedience and the daily decision to fight the good fight for Him.

He Gives The Victory

Men and women will let us down, but God is always faithful and with Him, all things are possible.

Joseph’s situation was depressing. His brothers abandon Him, he was wrongly accused , and then was thrown in jail.

Yet, Joseph faithfully served God even in a dungeon. God interpreted the dreams of two of the king’s men through him. Jospeh asked bone of them to mention Him that he may get out.

Again,Joseph is let down by another man in his life. But God, causes circumstances to happen that this cupbearer mentions Jospeh after all. In one conversation, Jospeh God takes Jospeh from prisoner to ruler over Egypt.

Joseph is not the only one God has displayed His power through.

He took a shepherd boy named David, slayed lions, and giants and bears with him and made Him a King. (I couldn’t help the Wizard of Oz reference here, sorry )

God took a young girl who could have endured ridicule and public shame and made her the mother of our Lord and Savior.

Jesus took 12 ordinary and lowly men, saved and healed thousands, and changed the world forever through them.

God isn’t worried about your circumstances. He can overcome anything you face. He wants your heart and trust. You were designed designed you to be a world changer with Him.

Whatever giants you are facing today, depressing as they may be, all things are possible with Him!

Building A Testimony

I remember days where my life was so hard that I wished my life was done. My heart hurt so bad that I just wanted the pain to cease.

My soul groaned so loud in me that I couldn’t hear anyone trying to help me. My eyes were blurred with tears and I could no longer see anything good.

On the outside, I held a facade of hard worker and at the same time, withdrew to in inner prison in my mind. I built walls around me to keep out everything and everyone.

And then I remembered the way the Lord rescued me in my sin and shame. Surely, He if anyone, loved me. Yes, He had the power to save me and break these prison walls I had trapped myself in.

There were many dark nights where I had to recall these promises about the very character of our Father in heaven.

These nights have have become very few and far between, but the testimonies of God’s lovingkindness, mercy, and faithfulness live on in the thousands I’ve shared with.

I’m convinced that when all we have to cling to is God, growth is inevitable. These dark times toughen us to press on when others would give in. They become our greatest tools on our mission.

There are scores of souls facing dark nights right now that have no knowledge or have forgotten about, a Heavenly Father who loves them. They have nothing to cling to but their own efforts.

Your story matters. It can encourage others on their dark nights to regain focus and hold fast to the promises of God

Live Your Purpose

The mission God has for you in 2020 can seem overwhelming and impossible. You may even feel like your not equipped to accomplish it.

Moses felt the same way. Multiple times he reminds the LORD that he is not good at speaking, yet the LORD sends him anyway.

The truth of the matter is that our Father has equipped you for every good work through His word. You have exactly what you need to do the work that God has prepared for you.

God proves this to Moses and He will do the same for you.

I work with people almost every day who feel unqualified until they take a good honest look at themselves and see how God has equipped them for His Mission.

I have seen several who feel worthless discover God’s design, make a plan, and watch God change the world through them.

When we carry out the mission in accordance with our design, the result is glory, honor, and fruit for the Lord. Joy fills our hearts as we confidently know our purpose and see the hand of the Lord at work.

He desires you to be joyfully at work with Him in the redemption of His people.

GUIDED BY A COACH

Flexible coaching plans, video conferencing, in-person, or via phone. There is a plan to meet your need. Message me for details.

I remember having childhood heroes of Spider-Man, Batman, and Superman. They were great, but I really wanted to find REAL life heroes I could model my life after.

I looked for people with integrity, character, and a sense of purpose. Sure there were people setting goals and achieving, but when I followed them long enough they had no sense of their purpose.

When I became a Christian, I began studying the Bible. Excitement came over me when I saw flawed men, like myself, be transformed by God as they humbly pursued Him with PURPOSE.

John the Baptist was one of those men. He had a more clear sense of his purpose than most. When pressed by the Pharisees, he confidently answered, “I am not the Christ”.

He was not looking for fame or a platform. Instead, He was there to prepare the way for Jesus. His whole life was lived for someone else.

There was no mid-life crisis for John mentioned in scripture. He was laser focused on his mission and pursued it to the point of death. That is the kind of unshakeable purpose and passion I wanted.

We, too, can have that kind of laser focus. We can avoid the mid-life crisis. We can wake every day with an unwavering sense of passion and purpose…when Christ is at the center of every part of our lives.

Is Jesus an after thought or is He at the center of all your plans?
