  Sourced in God Memorize and Meditate “ For I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. ” (Philippians 1:19) Soak your Heart This verse is power-packed. I want to soak my heart in it. Our communion with God through the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ provides the way for our deliverance, both in this world and the world to come. In Kingdom of God we learn through Scripture and we practice keeping Jesus Christ as the focus of our life. We realize that everything is sourced in him. His Spirit can supply the peace, love, patience, and kindness we need. He also has the power to ultimately make all things turn out for our good. He is the God of provision and of all power. Sow to the Spirit We learn to communicate with God through prayer, which simply means talking with God. We learn to communicate with God as we acknowledge that all things are sourced in him. We admit that without h...

  The Compass of Life Memorize and Meditate “ And he said, ‘…. As for me, being on the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren.’”  (Genesis 24:27) Soak your Heart If we expect to receive God’s guidance, direction, and blessing, it is critical that we are “on the way” – the Lord’s way. If we expect him to answer our requests, we must make sure we are abiding in him and his Word is abiding us. We must bring our lives into harmony with his revealed will for us. Only then are we empowered to fulfill the mission he has given us. What better time to check that we are “on the way” God has chosen for us than when we are meditating on the Word he wants to incorporate into our life? Sow to the Spirit As we talk with God, it is important for us to make sure we are conforming with the directions he seeks to give us. Pray, “Lord, I want to make sure what I am doing is in accordance with your revealed will for me at this time.” Abraham’s servant fulfilled his mission by “b...

  Forever Settled “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” —Romans 5:8 Once when I was ministering at a congregation in Toledo, Ohio, I asked the people to raise their hand if they sometimes wonder whether God really loves them. I would say roughly half the congregation raised their hand in response to my question. But I wasn’t really surprised. I have felt that way myself. Despite hearing that God loves us and knowing it is repeatedly declared in Scripture, sometimes we wake up and just don’t feel God’s love. For whatever reason, some days we try to reach out to God, and we just don’t feel connected to Him. But over the years I have learned what I must do when I begin to feel that way—I have to turn to and focus on the truth of God’s Word. The Bible says in Romans 5:8 that God proved His love for us by sending Jesus to die for us when we weren’t even looking for Him. It says that while we were yet sinners, Messiah died f...

  The Best Anxiety Preventive Memorize and Meditate “ Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. ” (James 1:21) Soak your Heart For the Word of God to work in our heart, we need to make sure we have a clean heart, free from the control of sin. This is why we confess and repent of our sin to restore a working relationship with God. One of the best protections against sin gaining control is to humbly accept and plant the Word in our heart. God’s Word can save us from fear, anxiety, and a host of other maladies seek to control us. The Psalmist said he hid God’s Word in his heart so he would not sin against God. We want to soak our heart in the Word. Sow to the Spirit As I meditate on these concepts, I want to sow them to the Spirit by praying them into my heart and soul. I ask God to implant his Word deeply within my inner being. His Word is food for my spirit and soul. More times than I can re...

  The Beginning and End of Our Faith “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.” —Ezekiel 36:27 Although Ezekiel was an Old Testament prophet, this verse is speaking of a new covenant reality. God is saying that in the new covenant, which was fulfilled in Messiah Jesus, God would cause us to walk in His ways. God is at work in me and in you “both to will and to do for His good pleasure” (Phil. 2:13, NKJV). This means that God’s Spirit is moving in our lives, imparting His divine nature to us so we develop a natural affinity to love what God loves and to do what He does. In other words, He is causing us to walk in the ways of His Spirit. Our desire to please God, our passion to share the gospel, our heart to know Him on a deeper level— these are not desires we are creating ourselves; rather, God is creating them in us. Hebrews 12:2 tells us that Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith. Our faith ...

  The Richest Life Memorize and Meditate “ Yes, the Almighty will be your gold and your precious silver. ” (Job 22:25) Soak your Heart For many people, money and earthly wealth become a god. However, as we begin to soak our heart in the Word of God and see it working in us and in our circumstances, a new reality comes into focus. Our relationship with God is far more valuable than anything else. Whereas gold and silver are inanimate, all power belongs to God. He is alive. His works are wonderful. Life is found in him alone. Soak your heart in this truth, and God will become your gold and precious silver. Sow to the Spirit When I talk with God, I acknowledge that he is more precious to me than any material thing. He wants us to partake of his divine nature by way of his Holy Spirit working in us. As we sow these thoughts to the Spirit, we begin to experience the wonders of his Word and to taste a little of the power of the coming age. Flow with the Spirit What a sense of expectation...
