| A Man Who Ignores The Truth Is On The Pathway Of Destruction. | |||||
|
"My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge."
Hosea 4:6 (NIV)
Jesus has proclaimed that His Word is truth and
those who know the truth shall be set free.
Regardless of what we plainly see, distinctively
hear, or clearly perceive with our natural
senses, God's Word still holds true. It amazes me
that God's people perish from a lack of knowledge
because of the simple fact that God gave us His
Word so that ignorance would be eradicated in our
life.
The truth of God's Word brings light to any dead
and dark situation. As we begin to meditate upon
the pages of God's written Word, freedom begins
to manifest itself in our lives.
His Word brings understanding where there was no
understanding.
His Word brings hope where there was no hope.
His Word brings freedom where once there was once
only bondage.
God desires for all of His people to be free and
live long, healthy, abundant lives. But until we
embrace the truth of God's Word, it is impossible
to walk in or become victorious in the freedom
God provided for us.
Daily Confession:
Father, I thank You that you gave me Your written
Word. I meditate upon Your Word and apply to
every situation bringing light into all areas of
my life. I know the truth of Your Word |

Your Heart - My home
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in
and eat with him and he with me. (Revelation 3:20).
My Beloved, it is My greatest desire to make your
heart My home. I am a gentlemen, I stand at the
door of your heart and knock (Rev 3:20). I will not
force My way in, but instead I wait patiently. I am
the Way and the Truth and the Life (John 14:6).
Invite Me in and I will wrap My arms around you and
hug you with My warm embrace. You are safe with Me
and can share everything, and anything, with Me for
there is nothing that I do not already know about
you for I know your every thought (Psalms 94:11). I
am your counselor (John 14:16) and friend (Proverbs
18:24). I have come to heal your broken heart and
set you free (Isaiah 61:1). I will never leave you
nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). I want you to show
me every room in your heart - My new home. When you
feel ready to move from the entry way of your
heart, let's sit and spend time in your kitchen
sharing a meal at your table (Rev 3:20) just being
ourselves talking about what might even seem to be
the most insignificant of things. Remember, I care
about the smallest of details in your life (Psalms
55:22). After we finish our meal together we will
go to the living room were I want you to put your
feet up and rest my child as we spend some quiet
time just being together. It's alright, close your
eyes, be still and know that I am God (Psalms
46:10). When you feel rested, and ready, we'll move
on and you can show me the other rooms of your
home. I want you to take me to your basement and
there we will check for cracks in your foundation
that have been caused from wounds and hurts of
life's past storms. We will work on these together,
restoring and rebuilding, as I am a redeemer
(Galations 3:13) and I will make a firm foundation
(2Timothy 2:19). Let's check the pilot light of
your furnace, after all, it has been lit since the
moment you asked me into to your heart and I want
to make sure your thermostat is adjusted to receive
the warmth of my love. Then, from there, let's go
check your laundry room. We'll wash that dirty
laundry and make it white as snow (Isaiah 1:18), as
My forgiveness and remission of sins removes all
stains of your past mistakes(Acts 13:38). I will
even give you a new robe of righteousness (Isaiah
61:10). After we finish there we will move on up to
the attic. We'll wipe away the cobwebs and dust off
the old storage chest that holds your hidden
treasures, lost hopes and dreams. Let's take some
time looking through the books of those old
memories and pictures of you and your family, we'll
share some good times, we'll share some laughs, and
even shed some tears. By then I think, my dear, it
will be time to rest for the night. Come lay your
head on your pillow, I'll sit next you and gently
run my fingers along your cheek, catching every
tear that may fall. As you reflect over the day, I
will whisper my word of life and encouragement into
your ear, as I want to be the Divine lover of your
soul (Song of Songs 2:16). Sleep my child, be at
peace...peace I leave with you; My peace I give you
(John 14:27). You may weep at times through the
night, my precious one, but I have good news...joy
comes in the morning (Psalms 30:5)!
Will you invite Me to live in your home until the
day that you come to live with Me in My home in
Heaven?

| If you want God's forgiveness, you must forgive others." | |||||
|
MAR 11:25-26 "And whenever you stand praying,
forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so
that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive
you your transgressions. But if you do not
forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven
forgive your transgressions."]

| Excellence Descends Into Mediocrity The Moment We Are Unwilling To Change. | |||||
|
"For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a
doer, he is like a man observing his natural face
in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away,
and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty
and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer
but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed
in what he does."
James 1:21-25 (NKJV)
A sharp flurry danced in the air—transformation
was occurring everywhere. People who were blind
since birth could suddenly see, the deaf had the
joy of listening to parables of the Master, the
disturbed were vibrantly whole, and thieves became
as honorable as the Temple rabbi. Yes, there were
some who were unwilling to change, many who
thought the Teacher, the Messiah, was merely
another man, and because they were unwilling to
embrace change, the miraculous for them was as
distant as the Mediterranean Sea .
Ultimately, excellence can be devoured through our
unwillingness to change. Life will pass us by and
cause us to live in regret over the lack of
production from our past. The moment we become
unwilling to embrace change is the moment we no
longer can achieve or reach the high standards to
which Christ calls us.
Inherently, humanity has within itself the desire
to settle, to hit a plateau and go no farther.
However, as men and women of excellence, we must
refuse the cozy invitation to settle. We must be
resilient and continue to climb the ladder of
excellence. It is a daily pursuit requiring focus
and persistence. When we are dedicated to this
call, we will walk victoriously over the enemy of
mediocrity. Mediocrity can be beaten...we can
overcome! We must, nevertheless, pursue excellence
every day of our lives. The only question is:
Will we, or won't we, pursue?
Daily Confession
I am a doer of the Word of God. I look into the
perfect law of liberty and continue in it. I am
not a forgetful hearer but I am an effectual doer
and I am blessed in all I do.

The Excellent View Life Through The Eyes Of
Unbroken Focus.
"My son, give attention to my words; incline your
ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your
eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for
they are life to those who find them, and health to
all their flesh."
Proverbs 4:20-22 (NKJV)
"Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your
eyelids look right before you. Ponder the path of
your feet, and let all your ways be established.
Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your
foot from evil."
Proverbs 4:25-27 (NKJV)
Involved in an intense conversation with her
teenage daughter about boys, sex, and God,
suddenly, the doorbell rings. Now who's that at the
door? I've already broken my train of thought!
One of our greatest enemies in life is broken
focus. The Bible tells us, "Where there is no
vision, the people perish." People of excellence
refuse to break focus because they realize doing so
would result in their demise. The mediocre always
focus on what they're going through...the excellent
focus on what they are going to.
How many times have we decided to rise earlier in
the morning to have more prayer time? Then, the
distractions begin. Perhaps an untidy area catches
your attention and you want to straighten it; your
child calls and you tend to them; and then a phone
call eats away your time. All the while, in your
mind, you tell God, "I'll be back in a minute." One
thing leads to another and before you know it, the
day is half gone. This type of situation is not
uncommon, and days lead to weeks, which lead to
months, until one day we look back at our lives and
ask, "How did I get here and how do I change my life?"
During His lifetime on earth, Jesus' focus was
constantly upon the cross, His assignment for
mankind. Now, Jesus' focus is on our
future—preparing Heaven, interceding, looking
straight ahead, staying ready to perform the
Father's will at any given moment. And so must we
continue to look straight ahead and not allow
ourselves to be distracted. Our ability to maintain
focus causes us to rise above the circumstances
that come our way, and excel above the expectation
of those whom God called to promote us.
Daily Confession
I attend to my Father's words, and incline my ears
to His sayings. I keep His principles before my
eyes; I keep them in the midst of my heart, for
they will bring life and health to all my flesh.
