Steeped in the Word

8 – New Beginnings    

10 – Perfect Order

He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of God. But I use parables to teach the others so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled: ‘When they look, they won’t really see. When they hear, they won’t understand.’” Luke 8:10

Fight For Future Fulfillment

Your future is much greater than your history, and it’s leading to your destiny. God’s plans for you are good; to prosper you and not harm you, to give you hope and a future. Position yourself under the windows of heaven and expect to receive.

One thing you must learn on your quest for upgrade is to trust in the heart of God and in the power of His grace. Why? Because He is not prepared to punish you for mistakes made in your attempts to move forward to receive your upgrade. Anyone who tells you different doesn’t know God’s goodness!

You see, Father God doesn’t punish you when you mess up. Instead, He does what any good father does – He picks you up! God is passionate about your progression. He has a much higher value for your personal growth than for your punishment.

“I will heal their faithlessness; I will love them freely, for My anger is turned away from Israel.” Hosea 14:4

Since He made you to be a warrior, He knows if you don’t fight for upgrade, you’ll fight for things that don’t matter. He says to you the same thing He said to Joshua three different times as He was commanding him to move forward into the Promised Land: “FEAR NOT!”

When you’re afraid to move from where you are, you’ll settle for something that once was, rather than what could be. The fight for what once was (the past) is a battle for what is irrelevant and insignificant. It’s the wrong fight to be in! I like to call that the “Dragon of Religion.”

You see, religion likes to call whatever used to be a long time ago “godliness.” Not sure what I’m talking about? Think, “This is the way we’ve always done it.” Or, “God doesn’t work that way anymore.” When you keep your head stuck in the sands of the past, you will never move forward.

Grounded in Faith

Declare!

I praise God that He came to me and called me right where I was. My heart rejoices that He loves me far too much to leave me the way He found me. He is my Creator and wants me to partner with Him to continue to create and give birth to what lines up with His will. There is no better way to live than this!

Pray a-Latte
