  3 Ways to Find Peace in Christ Scripture: Colossians 3:15, NLT “ And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. ” (Colossians 3:15, NLT) Jesus Christ is the source of our peace. He is the fountain of life. As believers, our relationship with him allows us to have access to this peace through  Soak, Sow, and Flow , a process that is a basic principle in KingdomNomics. Paul shows us how this can be done: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him” (Colossians 3:16–17, NKJV). These verses encompass all of the steps in the SOAK, SOW, and FLOW principle. First,   the Word of God needs to be filling our lives. His Word...

  “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.” Matthew 13:24–25, NIV Weeds In Jesus’ parable of the weeds, the farmer sowed good seed in his field, expecting a great harvest like he’d seen year after year. But when the wheat came up, so did the weeds that an enemy had sown in the night. The weeds were not the farmer’s fault. He hadn’t been lazy or failed to watch over his land. He did all the right things but still had these problems. Just because you’re having difficulties doesn’t mean you’ve done something wrong. You may have sown good seed, been faithful, honored God, given and served, and gone the extra mile, but weeds have popped up in your field. Things you didn’t sow. You raised your child right, but now he’s gotten off course. You’ve given your best at your business, but you had a setback, lost a client. You don’t understand it and could blame yourself....

  The Son Empowers Us to Cast Darkness Aside Scripture: Judges 5:31, NIV “‘ So may all your enemies perish, Lord! But may all who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength.’ Then the land had peace forty years. ” (Judges 5:31, NIV) Soak your Heart When we experience Christ—the Morning Star—rising in our heart, it feels like the sun when it rises in its full strength. The sun scatters the darkness. When the  Son  rises in our heart, he brings light to our innermost being and empowers us to cast the works of darkness aside. He brings an increasing desire to invest in the imperishable rather than just the perishable. He brings to light a new worldview with a focus on the life to come in the real world of eternity. Sow to the Spirit Pray:   I pray, Father, that the Morning Star will rise in my heart, overcoming any desires that are contrary to your will and best plan for my life. The more I am crucified to my flesh and the lures of this world, the better adv...

  “Don’t be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer. But for twenty-one days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way.” Daniel 10:12–13, NLT Angels Dispatched Daniel had been praying and fasting, waiting on God, asking God to help him, but nothing was happening. I’m sure he thought, “God, You brought me through the lions’ den and I’ve seen Your power and favor. Why aren’t You answering me?” After three weeks of silence, an angel appeared to him and said, “Daniel, from the first day you prayed, your request was heard in heaven, but the spirit prince of Persia blocked me until now.” On day one, God set the miracle into motion, but there were reasons for the delay. When we don’t see anything happening, we think God must not have heard us. Nothing is changing. No, the moment you prayed according to God’s Word, He set things...

  3 Ways God Can Work Through Us Scripture: Isaiah 43:18–19, NIV “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. ” (Isaiah 43:18-19, NIV) God’s Word is wonderful, telling us continually that he is in the renewal business. It is exciting being a Christian because we anticipate that God will always do something new and exciting in our life. Our responsibility is to place ourselves in a position so God can work through us. How do we do this? First, we need to stop dwelling on the past. When we dwell on the past, it is like trying to drive a car always looking in the rear view mirror. There is nothing we can do about our past except to put aside the parts that pull us down, and to learn not to make the same mistakes in the future. God is always moving. He is in the creation business. He is in the renewal business. “ For we are his workmanship, c...

But Moses said to the LORD, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I speak with faltering lips?” Exodus 6:12, NIV Who You Really Are  Moses had God’s promise that he would deliver the nation of Israelite slaves from Pharaoh. But the Israelites were too discouraged through hard labor to listen, and Pharaoh refused. Moses’ words were met with resistance, and he made the mistake of immediately talking defeat. He was on the verge of letting his negative environment change his identity from deliverer to defeated. Fortunately, God spoke to Moses and promised again that by signs and wonders He would bring the Israelites to freedom. You may be in an environment now that contradicts what God promised you. The circumstances look just the opposite of the dream He put in your heart. That’s a test. The enemy would love for you to lose who you really are, to see yourself as limited or a victim. You can let it change you, adapt to the environment, water do...
