The last two weeks, we've seen some horrific acts of terrorism in our country. From the mail bombs to the shootings at a local grocery store in Kentucky to the horrific shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue to the shooting just this past Saturday at a yoga study. All of these in less than 14 days of one another is the recipe for making us numb to hurt or frozen with fear. And that inaction is the whole point of terrorism...immobilize the survivors and witnesses so they do nothing.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
One of the stories that stuck with me this week was from the deacon in charge of security near the Kentucky shootings. The assailant had tried unsuccessfully to get into his church before moving to the grocery store and killing people there. The deacon shared that had he not been away from the desk at the time the shooter was knocking and trying the doors, that he would have been the one to go to the door. He would have been the one who would have let this person into their church. When someone knocks, he goes to the door.</div>

It is no accident that terror has a way of freezing people. When we're scared, we rightly go into a mode of self preservation and self protection. Scared people don't love their neighbor. Scared people don't reach out. Scared people don't care for strangers. Who's going to go to the door when you're terrified?</div>

But as born again believers, isn't that our calling?</div>

<span class="text Matt-25-40" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">So what do we do? We go to the Door.</span></div>

Jesus said "<i>I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.</i>" (John 10:9)</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
We go to the Door. We go where the Shepherd not only calls us, but calls us by name. We go where there is pasture prepared inside and out. We go where we are lead, cared for and assured that as we do the Father's work, He protects, provides and gives direction, comfort and aid. </div>

We simply cannot as believers afford to be consumed by fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us that God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. We go to the Door and we move at His voice and in His direction as He moved...giving love without fear, even though it may cost us everything.</div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1536060182172_8251" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">Earlier this weekend, while watching the McCain funeral service, one of the priests said "John was welcomed home" and my mind went immediately to the seen described in the Prodigal Son story. Most people even tangentially associated with church know the story. It's usually used to frame a personal testimony about having grown up in church, went out and did things and then coming back to the church.</span></div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1536060182172_8181" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
But what if Jesus also meant this as a parable for our arrival in Heaven? God, ever watchful for our return, having withheld nothing from us as we journeyed through the world for our whole lives, waiting our full return to Him with expectation and confidence that we would 'come to ourselves' and return home. Not return to a church building. Not return to a way to behave. Not return to a conviction to stop this or that. But, to fully return to HIM. Return to His deity. Return to His sovereignty. Return freely and fully to His fatherhood.</div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1536060182172_8181" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
As the priest spoke those words in the midst of that solemn occasion, I saw the joy of a child returning home, welcomed with new clothes as a sign of provision, with a ring as a sign of belonging and identity, and a generous feast showing abundance and full acceptance. All that was the son's before he left fully restored in the instant he came home by a loving Father waiting for the opportunity to show love.</div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1536060182172_8181" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Yes, I think that's how it will be 'in the sweet by and by.' Those who suffer through illness and loss will breathe in strength and warmth in Heaven. Those who have accepted the redemption of Christ will smell the feast, feel the robe and cherish the signet on their hand.</div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1536060182172_8181" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
And yet, for all of that vision of passing over, there's nothing that cannot be received right now. What the young man received was his, just as what God has for us now, on <b>this</b> side of Heaven, is ours. Like the young man in the story, we can squander what we've been given, or we can receive it, and turn it back over to our Father for His guidance and counsel right now.</div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1536060182172_8181" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Ok. Fine. Then what about the son left behind? Are you saying that's Jesus being salty? No...Jesus is part of the Godhead, part of the Father, along with the Holy Spirit. The other son is the rest of us. And that is the affirmation to me that this is both a picture of Heaven and of the Kingdom of God right now.</div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1536060182172_8181" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Those of us who have accepted Christ can often lose sight of our own 'prodigal' story. We can judge those who are just coming back to the Father by where we are at that moment, forgetting that at some point and time, we were also covered in slop. We've been cleaned up so long, we've lost perspective what it was like to need restoration and the process we need to go through to understand the gift of the Father's love.</div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1536060182172_8181" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Wherever we are, a loving Father awaits. He is expecting each of us to 'come to ourselves' and return to Him, even if it takes every day that we're here on earth to get there. The robe is ready. The ring is set aside, polished and waiting. The provisions for the feast are assembled. Everything is in place, waiting for the guest of honor.</div>

I didn't want to write anything immediately after the shooting in Las Vegas. I knew my feelings would be too strong and my focus would be too political. I wouldn't be able to hear the Holy Spirit over the screaming in my own head or the echoing sobs I felt inside. It's hard to seek guidance when you hurt.<br />
<br />
And isn't that the point?<br />
<br />
There are so many things in our lives competing for our attention. There are very real, visceral things and there are the things that honestly are just noise...distracting noise.<br />
<br />
These last few weeks it seems the volume on the real and the annoying has been turned up to 11. From storms to shootings to floods...and those are just the things that made the news. Add in the stuff of everyday life, babies, weddings, funerals, illnesses, school, children, jobs, and its no wonder so many people are subject to stress related diseases.<br />
<br />
But that cacophony of noise was never intended to be the realm of the believer. It is however a most effective form of combat to our spiritual walk. If we're too consumed with the stuff of life, how can we worship? How can we pray and hear? How can we trust a God we cannot reach?<br />
<br />
Simple words and phrases aren't enough to soothe a broken spirit. I cannot imagine the pain so many people must be feeling in Houston, in Florida, in Puerto Rico, in Montana following fires, in so many places following the Vegas shooting. I surely wouldn't try to offer just words when facing such great losses. But, fulfillment? That's another story.<br />
<br />
Today, dear brothers and sisters, turn off the tv. Turn off the radio. Put down the phone. They will all be there when you get back. Take some time to focus in on God. Give Him the space in our lives that He not only deserves but desires. Parents, that 'thrill' we feel when our teens want to spend time with us? Yeah, God likes that too.<br />
<br />
If you are feeling empty and lost especially after some crushing event, whether or not it made the evening news, God cares. Your catastrophe may be entirely personal or affect a whole neighborhood. God cares. Won't you let Him show you the care?<br />
<br />
Slip away. Get quiet. Focus on Him. Let the healing in.<br />

<span class="text Luke-7-38" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">Every cliche is out there...can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs...can't fix a system without breaking some rules...we even call those moments in our lives when we exceed our expectations as BREAKTHROUGHS. Breaking isn't always a bad thing. Breaking can lead to good things. And when it comes to praising God, you gotta break it open.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The story above is a familiar one to most believers. A woman of questionable reputation, at least of questionable reputation to the men who were condemning her, came into a dinner and proceeded to anoint the feet of Jesus with perfume from a pricey, alabaster box. She was so overwhelmed with her adoration of Him, that she mixed her tears into the perfume and wiped the excess with her hair.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Part of the story that gets over looked is the preparation and care...there was the perfume, encased in an expensive container. It had to be purchased so the money had to be earned. This wasn't an object that everyone just had sitting around. It was acquired with intent. Maybe she didn't know at the time, but it was still demonstration of an act of purpose.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Then, there was finding a time and a space to do this act. She had to be near Jesus and He had to be in a posture to receive the gesture. She had to follow Him to know when the time was right. She couldn't have done it while He was walking. She couldn't have done it while He was preaching or healing. She had to wait for the right time for Him to receive it. She had to give this gift when it was right for Him even though it wasn't ideal for her. She had to sacrifice her comfort for His honor.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
And then, there was getting at the praise. She could have just presented the box, but instead, she broke it open and poured out the blessing on Him. She bathed His feet in the sweet smelling perfume and overwhelmed, added her own tears to the effort.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Praising God 'in spirit and in truth' takes preparation, attention, sacrifice and brokenness. We have to be in a state of God consciousness where we prepare ourselves for His presence. God doesn't want to be an afterthought in our lives. He also doesn't want to be limited to the safety net in our lives. He wants us to walk as living epistles and living sacrifices. We have to get up every day and choose Him. Like the virgins and the oil lamps, we have to stay ready so that when the opportunity is right with Him, we are able and available.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Part of staying ready is serving when it works for Him. We shouldn't try to limit our time with God to when it's convenient for us. That's not how sovereignty works. The Sovereign chooses, not the servant. So, yeah, that need to praise may be at exactly the one time we don't want to do it. But, do we serve or are we served?</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
And we've got to break it open. If we've walked with believers for any period of time, we've heard the phrase 'like fire shut up in my bones'. Well, the only benefit from fire is when we let it out to do something. Want light? We have to uncover the fire. Want heat? We have to uncover the fire. Even if we want it to power something, the fire has to be stoked and open to the air to do work and we've got to let it heat up something for the work to begin.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Brothers and sisters in Christ, break open the box. Stop withholding praise from God who deserves it. Make room in your lives for Him. Go ahead and give in to loving Him. He's worthy of it and He's faithful. Love expressed toward God is not love lost. It becomes love multiplied.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Why do we hold back? Pride? People will talk anyway. Greed? The box was never intended for us...do we really want to steal from God? Ungrateful? If you're reading this, that's probably not true. Fear? It's probably a concentrated form of pride.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Break open the box. Go ahead and cry. Go ahead and bathe Him in your love. Nothing has been withheld by God for you. He gave His Son for each and everyone of us. It is safe to break open and praise God.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Break open the box. Go ahead and praise Him openly, sloppily, unrestrained. That 'thing' that has been a hindrance, that thing that has stopped your growth, it may well be on the other side of that wall that hinders your praise.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

There’s a lot of talk right now about strangers and

<div class="MsoNormal">
His message is pretty clear.
He said it more simply to Peter when He said ‘if you love me, feed my
sheep.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As Believers, we don’t have the luxury of
discrimination. God gave His Son for the
whole world, while we were yet sinners as the saying goes. He didn’t send His Son for those who already
loved Him. He sent His Son that the
whole world; past, present and future generations might return to Him. And He
said He would do the sorting, not us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, whom do we serve?
We serve God. How do we serve
Him? When we ‘do it to the least of
these'. Who is supposed to do the work?
Isn’t that work for a minister?
Yes. To minister is to
serve. If you serve God, you’re a
minister and this is work we must do.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As we move forward in our belief, we have to come to a point
where we accept Jesus as Lord as well as Savior. He has to be more than a rescue plan; He has
to be sovereign in this life as well as the next. We have to start learning that picking up our
cross means denying what we want to do.
We literally must put down our prejudices, our plans, our life and
submit ourselves as a living sacrifice to God.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sacrifice doesn’t get to choose how it’s used. It just makes itself available.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We know the strangers.
If we’ve confessed Christ, and see a need, we are obliged to act. If you see then need, then you were the
minister sent to that situation. That’s
why you’re seeing it.<o:p></o:p></div>

Anyone who grew up in church probably recognizes that refrain...'standing on the promises of Christ my King'....even without knowing all the words, the tune is likely playing in your head now.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
As children, we hear these songs and they are just that...songs. Music we hear at church. But, as time often does, given enough time, these are no longer songs. They become reminders to our spirit of the character of God...of the truth of who God is.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Standing on the promises becomes less a refrain and more a way of life. No, a way to life. God is faithful in His promises. He speaks clearly and directly and there is no changing or shadow of turning in His character. He speaks and 'it', whatever 'it' is...is. It is as He speaks it. </div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
So it is with the love God has professed for each and every one of us. 'For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son' (Jhn 3:16). Love not only spoken, but demonstrated...paid for even with blood. </div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Stand on the promises. Stand on the ones spoken silently in your heart. Stand on the ones pronounced to a group that pertain directly to you. His yea is yea and His nay is nay. There is no 'second guessing' with God. His love, His justice, everything about Him is pure and worthy of trust.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<span class="yiv8397167164" id="yiv8397167164yui_3_16_0_1_1456148383966_4562">Trust is a funny thing. Sometimes we give it too quickly. Sometimes we withhold it too sternly. It is something we rely on tremendously, because it is strong and yet terribly fragile. We trust banks with our money, we trust schools with our children....we put our trust in lots of things and people daily. But when that trust is shattered, we may never go 'that way' again.</span></div>
<div class="yiv8397167164" dir="ltr" id="yiv8397167164yui_3_16_0_1_1456148383966_4519" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span class="yiv8397167164" id="yiv8397167164yui_3_16_0_1_1456148383966_4635">I've seen people swear off of foods and restaurants because of one bad experience. They lost trust in that item or that place. Relatives can spend years estranged because of a breech in trust. On the same token, there are people that stay together not because of outside factors, but because they trust one another.</span></div>
<div class="yiv8397167164" dir="ltr" id="yiv8397167164yui_3_16_0_1_1456148383966_4519" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span class="yiv8397167164" id="yiv8397167164yui_3_16_0_1_1456148383966_4613">If you live long enough, one of the lessons learned is that trust should be earned and maintained. Giving trust too freely can be catastrophic. Losing someone's trust can too. But, when the effort is made not only to gain but to keep trust, it is a valuable commodity that shouldn't be ignored, but instead should be celebrated and embraced.</span></div>
<div class="yiv8397167164" dir="ltr" id="yiv8397167164yui_3_16_0_1_1456148383966_4519" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span class="yiv8397167164" id="yiv8397167164yui_3_16_0_1_1456148383966_4688">Jesus used the opportunity of the rich young ruler to talk about misplaced trust. The young man wanted to follow Jesus, but his trust was in his own accomplishments and strength and not in the Lord. It prompted Jesus to share the scripture listed above. The statement shocked the disciples. What they heard was if you're rich, you can't get into Heaven.</span></div>

<span class="yiv8397167164" id="yiv8397167164yui_3_16_0_1_1456148383966_4787">All these years later, we still hear that. The riches weren't the problem. It was the trust. When we trust solely in temporal things, our trust is built on the temporary. Strength fails. Money moves in and out. Even the intellect that may have been applied to amass wealth can be fleeting.</span></div>

<span class="yiv8397167164" id="yiv8397167164yui_3_16_0_1_1456148383966_4855">But, when our trust is built on the incorruptible God, there is no failure available. Nothing can end God. He is worthy of our trust because He has earned it and He has maintained it. He hasn't changed. He gave first and continues to give. He has done and continues to do the work to demonstrate that He is trustworthy. </span></div>

Even with this pronouncement of how difficult it is when one trusts in riches above God, Jesus reminded the disciples that anything is possible with God. So, even with all that's happened, it is still possible to turn it all over and trust God.</span></div>

<b>Effectual Fervent Prayer</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span class="text Jas-5-20" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">This passage in James is so loaded with direction and instruction on prayer that it could be studied for months. For today, however, let's just focus on that often quoted part of verse 16 - The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<b>Effectual</b> - successful in producing a desired or intended result. effective, constructive.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<b>Fervent </b>- having or siplaying a passionate intensity. sincere, ardent, fervid, intense, heartfelt</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<b>Righteous</b> - morally right or justifiable, virtuous. good, upright, upstanding, decent.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Effectual prayer has a desired intent. We cannot say we pray in an effectual manner without intent...what is the point of the prayer if it has no intent? What is the desired outcome? Do we come before God with a plan or direction, or are we just talking to be talking?</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Fervent prayer is passionate. We know passion when we hear it and when we see it. We know when someone is walking through the motions of obligation and duty and when someone is passionate and intense about the things they're doing. I dare say everyone would prefer a kiss with passion over a thoughtless peck. They are both signs of affection; they are both kisses by definition. But the message of the passionate one is much different than the peck. Fervent prayer, like everything filled with passion and intensity, can be a little messy but is full of meaning. Like the old song says, if your heart isn't in it....</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The passage calls for the prayer of a righteous man. This tells us that not just anyone can be before God. And even though our righteousness is as filthy rags before God, we take on a whole new level when we are washed in the blood of Christ...when we have be clothed in His righteousness we are absolutely justified to be before God. We meet the requirement for audience. We fit the office and we can operate in the assignment outlined in the first two words described.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Continuing on in the phrase, <b>prayer</b> tells us why. We are supposed to dialogue with the Father. I love the word dialogue because the root words, di and logos, mean two words or two speak. We talk, He listens. He speaks, we listen. It's simple. It's pure. It's intimate. It's intense, it's passionate. It's right. It's intentional.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
So, if we want to 'availeth much', we should come before God wrapped in the righteousness of Christ, speak with intent, with a goal and a direction. Make the presentation with passion before the Father, and more often than not, we should do it on behalf of someone else. Then, listen. And see what God will do. it will be much.</div>

<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span class="text Acts-22-29" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">In Acts 22, Paul finds himself at odds with the people. He is beaten and dragged away for more beating. But he challenges the guards with a simple question: "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?"</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span class="text Acts-22-29" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">Every Roman citizen, born and naturalized, knew the rules. Frankly, every non-citizen in Roman controlled areas knew the rules. That was the way order was maintained...everyone knowing the rules, particularly the rules concerning the treatment of Roman citizens, helped to keep the order and established a hierarchy. It was a big deal to become a Roman citizen. It was a bigger deal to be born one.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
We see this issue of birthright throughout the Old Testament for sure, but surprisingly, it is even a part of our modern conversation. We challenge the national identity of those who may be born of US parents on foreign soil, or those of foreign born parents who are born on US soil. US citizenship is a coveted status, whether one acquires it through naturalization or is born into it. Birthright, even today, matters tremendously.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I offer all this as a reminder of our birthright in Christ. When we are born again, we are endowed with the citizenship rights of the Kingdom of God. Our parenthood changes so our birthrights change along with it. We become a child of God, and an heir of Christ. If birthright is laid out in full complexity in the Old Testament, then we should look at the New Testament as fully explaining our own birthright within the body of Christ.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
As with all great gifts, there are responsibilities in this new identity. There are tremendous rewards and amazing expectations. Child of God, know your birthright. That way, when you're confronted with an enemy, you can say with assurance "Is is lawful for you to lay hands on a citizen of the Kingdom of God?" Your enemy knows that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Your enemy knows that you are more than a conqueror. Your enemy knows that the gates of Hell itself will not prevail against you...not because of you or I but because of our birthright in the Kingdom.</div>

Get to know your birthright. And if you're in Atlanta, Fellowship is a good place to start.</div>

This passage out of Daniel is very familiar to those who study the Word. The three captives of Israel who refused to worship the idol that King Nebuchanezzar made of himself, are faced with capital punishment for their convictions. They accept with grace and praise and find themselves tossed into a fire expecting death. Instead, they find life and testimony.</div>
<div class="yiv3063223377" dir="ltr" id="yiv3063223377yui_3_16_0_1_1451479577115_5521" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When their sentence was carried out, they were bound, fully clothed. They were not able to defend themselves in any way other than their faith. But, the king himself had to testify that when they were in the midst of the fire, they were free. And, when they came out, not only were they free, but they didn't even have the smell of the fire on them.</div>
<div class="yiv3063223377" dir="ltr" id="yiv3063223377yui_3_16_0_1_1451479577115_5521" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
What stands out to me today, on this penultimate day of 2015 isn't their escape, but what they left behind. Trials can seem unforgiving and sometimes it's hard to remember that this too shall pass. Sometimes the trial that was designed to destroy us was just the tool to remove our bindings and set us free to worship.</div>
<div class="yiv3063223377" dir="ltr" id="yiv3063223377yui_3_16_0_1_1451479577115_5521" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
But, when you're a child of the Most High King...when you've been born again, even bad things can be liberating. When we accepted Christ as Savior and Lord, we were given a promise that He would never leave us or forsake us and that the Father would not leave us comfortless. We can face the fires, the lions, the storms and everything else life throws at us with these guarantees. Further, we can expect not only the comfort and company of God Himself, but we can also expect that no matter the situation, it will be to our good (Romans 8:28). </div>
<div class="yiv3063223377" dir="ltr" id="yiv3063223377yui_3_16_0_1_1451479577115_5521" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If 2015 has been a trial, rejoice. Even what was lost is for your good. If it was stolen, it will be replaced, many fold. That's a promise from the Father. But if it was taken, don't go back looking for it. It may have been what was holding you back from entering into true worship.</div>
<div class="yiv3063223377" dir="ltr" id="yiv3063223377yui_3_16_0_1_1451479577115_5521" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
We are about to enter a new year, but today is the new day we've all been given. Make the most of who you are and who you can be in Christ today. If you haven't accepted Him, stop fighting and yield. God loves you too much to give up, so you're going to keep meeting Him, no matter how hard you try to avoid Him. </div>
<div class="yiv3063223377" dir="ltr" id="yiv3063223377yui_3_16_0_1_1451479577115_5521" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you've accepted Christ but haven't fully given yourself over, stop fighting and yield. There is so much more available in being sold out in Christ than what you find sitting on the fence being lukewarm.</div>
<div class="yiv3063223377" dir="ltr" id="yiv3063223377yui_3_16_0_1_1451479577115_5521" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
If you've accepted Christ, are walking in obedience and faith, but still feel like there's something in the way, it's you. Stop fighting and yield. God is looking for those who will worship in spirit and in truth...not just in words and deeds. Quit trying to hold on to the very things that are keeping your worship tied up. Trust God enough to burn away what's unnecessary so you can dance with Him in the midst of the fire.</div>

<span id="yiv6001274257yui_3_16_0_1_1450705129725_4815" style="font-size: small;">I found the phrase 'good courage' referenced 16 times in a quick search of the Word. Many of those references were related to Joshua as he was being prepared to take over from Moses. Transitions can be scary. But it's interesting to me that we are called to be courageous and not brave.</span></div>

<span id="yiv6001274257yui_3_16_0_1_1450705129725_6682" style="font-size: small;">Firefighters are a good example. They train in live fire exercises, so they know what to do when faced with a burning building. They are brave for going in and doing that job. They have to be or someone may die needlessly. Also, soldiers drill and practice their skills constantly so when presented with the task, they just do it. They train not to be distracted from the mission. They know what to do and they do it. In both examples, they have confidence in their training and ability to do the job ahead, regardless of the peril.</span></div>

<span id="yiv6001274257yui_3_16_0_1_1450705129725_4967" style="font-size: small;">Courage, on the other hand, has a different take. Where the brave prepare and respond, courage happens with little or no preparation. Courage is being scared, and doing what is needed anyway. What does it look like?</span></div>

December 1st is recognized as World AIDs Day, a day of education and awareness in the ongoing fight against HIV infection and spread. One of the scientists interviewed during the observance said that 'the virus always takes advantage of apathy'. I found that quote so powerful because it is true on many different levels, but especially in our spiritual walk. </div>
<div class="yiv5024231718" dir="ltr" id="yiv5024231718yui_3_16_0_1_1450114756900_2715" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
There's an old adage that says 'Idle hands are the devil's playground'. The idea behind it is that keeping busy is a virtue but being idle leads to trouble. I would counter that an idle mind is much more dangerous than idle hands since all action starts in the mind.</div>
<div class="yiv5024231718" dir="ltr" id="yiv5024231718yui_3_16_0_1_1450114756900_2715" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The Holy Spirit through Paul reminded us of the same thing in the scripture quoted above. Renewing our mind is absolutely essential to growth in the Spirit. When we fall into temptation or find ourselves falling away from God, we have to admit that the fall started not in our actions, but in our mind. God gave us a free will and He has never taken it away. Our worship or lack of it is a choice first...a choice in the mind before it becomes an action, or in action.</div>
<div class="yiv5024231718" dir="ltr" id="yiv5024231718yui_3_16_0_1_1450114756900_2715" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
So, as we come into this season of celebrating the birth of the Savior, if you have received the gift of Salvation, give yourself the next gift of a full relationship with the Father. It's one thing to have access. It's something else entirely to enter in and take advantage of the access. Choose to press in.</div>

<div class="yiv1770203784" dir="ltr" id="yiv1770203784yui_3_16_0_1_1449589798687_4831" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
My grandmother had quite a number of furs when I was growing up. I didn't know the origin of them. I had always assumed they were gifts, but truth is, I never asked.</div>
<div class="yiv1770203784" dir="ltr" id="yiv1770203784yui_3_16_0_1_1449589798687_4831" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
I can remember how she would sport her stole or her full length mink at holiday time. Growing up in a cold state, we had a different take on fur coats. They were as much necessity as fashion, given the brutal winters we experienced. She always looked stunning in her furs.</div>
<div class="yiv1770203784" dir="ltr" id="yiv1770203784yui_3_16_0_1_1449589798687_4831" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
After my grandmother passed, many of her furs went to different family members. I had received one. I didn't have the full appreciation of the garment. Fur, for my generation, had fallen out of fashion. One very cold day, however, I went to pull it out of the closet, only to learn that the coat had dry rotted and was no longer of any use. That was when I learned that not only did the coat require special storage, but it needed to be used to remain useful. </div>
<div class="yiv1770203784" dir="ltr" id="yiv1770203784yui_3_16_0_1_1449589798687_4831" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Its that way for us in the body of Christ. We are given gifts and talents for use, not hording. The very gifts we have are designed not only for use, but for use in the body of Christ. The gifts themselves need to be used in order to stay viable and vibrant. Otherwise, they become useless, like the body without the soul.</div>
<div class="yiv1770203784" dir="ltr" id="yiv1770203784yui_3_16_0_1_1449589798687_4831" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Our gifts and talents matter. They matter more than we can imagine. And, with use, they get even more valuable. Whatever it is that you or I have been uniquely designed to do, it's needed and it matters. The question is, when challenged, will we have a story of worked faith to share about how those gifts were employed, or will the story be one of excuse, about how they were buried in the ground because we were afraid of getting something wrong? They are our talents. It is our story? How will it all play out?</div>

In the passage above, Elisha is giving a final prophecy to the King of Israel before he dies. King Joash knows the prophet and knows that he is a man of God. So, at this critical moment, he does follow the words of the prophet, but he doesn't go far enough.</div>

Too often, we let our own distractions and expectations get in the way of blessings from God. There is something to be said for 'just keep going until I tell you to stop' especially when we're moving at the behest of the Lord.</div>

Whatever it is that you've been talking to God about...whatever it is that you've been wrestling with, believing for, praying over, I encourage you, loved one, to just keep going. When you know that you're moving into the things that God has set aside for you, don't get discouraged and slack off. Keep going until God says stop. His plan for you is for your good and not your destruction, so your work is not in vain.</div>

Press on. Take the limits off what you think God can and will do for you and just let Him do what He does.</div>

<b>Getting a Better Network</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When tragedy strikes in our lives, whether small or large, we reach out to our networks. Family, friends, people who have had similar experiences; it's a principle common to all of human kind. We are designed for connection.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
It's not by accident that this happens. That's why this connection is at the core of Jesus' mission on earth. His sacrifice restored our relationship with the Father. We are grafted in and our survival once we accept Christ's sacrifice, relies on our connection.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
For those of us who believe and receive the gift of Christ, abiding in Him is essential. Confessing Him isn't enough. We must abide in Him. There is our peace. In Him, in The Vine, we are tended directly by the Father. </div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
So, get a better network. If you find yourself connected with anything or anyone other than Christ, then you're not availing yourself to be tended by the Father. Instead of Facebook, or Twitter, or the telephone, or anyone else, try the Father first. You'll reach Him through the Son.</div>

of Israel was fed from Heaven while in the wilderness. There were no crops,
but they were full, every day. No rivers, but they had fresh water.
They had quail and bread. And when they came into the promised
land, the manna didn't cease until they had corn to eat.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

He's not in love with the praise we bring; He doesn't love our

We once had someone come over to our house and remark "Oh, your stove looks like new. You must not cook often." Truth is, we cook at home everyday. But the sentiment was a true one...things that are used usually look worn. Effort changes the appearance of things and people.</div>

You can tell the difference between the saw of a carpenter and the saw of someone who only picks it up a couple times a year. If you ever look at the feet of professional ballerinas, they look awful. They move with grace, but their feet are calloused and bruised from their efforts. You can tell when someone works out regularly, because it shows in their physical appearance. </div>

It's funny that the best outcomes take the same input. A recent study came out that it takes 10,000 hours to master a subject, whether that's a musical instrument, or exploring physics. Regardless of the talent of the person applying the effort, it still takes time to get to the point where the operation just flows. You can be born with a gift to play a guitar, but you still have to build up callouses in order to play well for a long period of time. And those callouses only come from actually playing. You can't study them into being. You can't believe them into being. Your gift is real, but so is the work.</div>

This is true in our spiritual walk too. Our salvation is a gift of God. But our relationship, like all relationships, requires work. It takes time, communication, and effort. When we accept Christ, our salvation is a matter of fact. We are sealed until redemption. But that walk in Christ is a lifestyle that is perfected over time. It has to be a daily choice and effort has to be expended. Jesus is not a genie. He's not a lucky charm. He is the door of restoration to relationship with the Father. </div>

The door is open and the work is before you and I. The effort is ours to expend. It's time to put in the work. It's time to wear the knees in prayer, the eyes in study and the heart in pursuing the Father. It's time to put on the gear and do the work as called, and to expect exactly what the Father intends and not try to bend His will to ours. It's time to get the stove dirty, put the saws to use and break in those shoes. All effort towards God is valuable just as effort against Him is futile.</div>

<span class="yiv6428898018" id="yiv6428898018yui_3_16_0_1_1446477221224_4614">I was listening to a report on NPR this morning about a resource program in Michigan for those suffering from severe depression. One woman interviewed had wrestled with depression for many years. She had tried to take her life regularly through those struggles. She described her depression as darkness that would overcome her and pull her into more darkness. She said she would try to make the pain stop by taking her life. </span></div>

<span class="yiv6428898018" id="yiv6428898018yui_3_16_0_1_1446477221224_4693">I was reading another article that talked about the downside of bariatric surgery. The article sited statistics about the incidence of suicide and attempted suicide following surgery. The patient interviewed in that article said there was so much focus put on her body and her weight that no one told her how to cope with life's other issues when she couldn't bury them in food.</span></div>
<div class="yiv6428898018" dir="ltr" id="yiv6428898018yui_3_16_0_1_1446477221224_4554" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Finding light in a dark world is difficult, if not impossible, on our own. We are not equipped to pull light out of darkness. It is easy to understand the Michigan women's description of depression over taking her and pulling her into the void.</div>
<div class="yiv6428898018" dir="ltr" id="yiv6428898018yui_3_16_0_1_1446477221224_4554" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
But...</div>
<div class="yiv6428898018" dir="ltr" id="yiv6428898018yui_3_16_0_1_1446477221224_4554" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Those of us who have been born again are literally of a linage where the impossible is possible. Luke 1:37 sums it up nicely, "<i>For with God, nothing shall be impossible</i>."</div>
<div class="yiv6428898018" dir="ltr" id="yiv6428898018yui_3_16_0_1_1446477221224_4554" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
And it is that simple. When our faith is in God and His Love and His Power...when we rely less on our own capabilities and recognize the fullness of Who He is and that His love of us is true, and thorough and pure...when we take Him at His word for provision, protection and for setting us on a path meant for our redemption and not our destruction...when we turn to this God, there is nothing that can be withheld.</div>
<div class="yiv6428898018" dir="ltr" id="yiv6428898018yui_3_16_0_1_1446477221224_4554" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
This God is the one who turns mourning into dancing. This God is the one who speaks into nothing and creates light, dark and life. This God is the one who made all things good for man, and in light of us making wrong choices, set a process in motion that would restore us to right relationship with Him without possibility of reversal. This is the God who loves you and loves me so much that He sent His own Son, the embodiment of Himself, to pay the penalty for all sins committed, and that would be committed. </div>
<div class="yiv6428898018" dir="ltr" id="yiv6428898018yui_3_16_0_1_1446477221224_4554" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
There is the possibility of light from nothing. Whatever we face, no matter how painful. No matter how destructive, there is a way out. There is redemption. There is joy.</div>
<div class="yiv6428898018" dir="ltr" id="yiv6428898018yui_3_16_0_1_1446477221224_4554" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
As you face whatever seems impossible today, remember that with God, nothing shall be impossible.</div>

<span class="text Matt-2-11" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">The wise men, looking for the Child who's star they followed, came to Judea, made their way to Bethlehem and found the Child with his Mother. They presented him with gifts and worshiped Him. They were on a mission for a while, looking for the King of the Jews who had been prophesied. They came expecting to find Him, prepared with tribute and in an attitude of worship.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

They didn't find Him in a palace. He was not surrounded by servants or an army. They found the Child in a house with His mother. They saw the sign, the star resting over the place. They didn't question the choice of vessel, but worshiped this precious gift from God. They were looking for God's gift, not at the container.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

Too often, we let circumstance and packaging determine our willingness to accept what God has given. We get like Naaman when looking for a healing from Elisha (2 Kings 5). Elisha gave him a relatively simple task to do in order to be healed. Because it wasn't extraordinary and because the prophet wouldn't tell Naaman directly, Naaman felt like it wasn't good enough for him. He was willing to keep the disease because the healing wasn't packaged in a way he thought was appropriate.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

So it can be with with us. Sometimes we can get caught up in how the message or correction or conviction is delivered and we miss the point of the message, the visitation or the blessing. Our discipleship requires that we learn to look past the presentation, and sometimes, even our own experience with people and focus in on God and following the Holy Spirit. That may not be easy, but it is moving in perfection.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

Christ was not what most people expected in His earthly ministry, but He was exactly what we all needed. God may choose to address 'that' area in your life or my life in an unexpected way, but it will end up being the exact right answer...if we can get past the packaging.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

Open the present. Receive the gift. Don't worry about the box or the paper or how it got delivered. When it comes from the Father, it is exactly what's needed.</div>

Attacks are real, but the battleground is in how we think. Our response to any attack first begins as a thought. That's why Paul challenged us with renewing our mind (Romans 12:1-2). After all, as a man thinketh, so is he (Proverbs 23:7). </span></div>

That involves study and exercise. Its one thing to 'know' a thing about Christ. It is something else to be able to move in it. Moving in flow with the Holy Spirit becomes the source of our testimonies.</span></div>

Our testimonies of going through and getting over are important. They are important for those who are new in Christ, as well as to those who are seasoned, to understand that the process takes time and effort. The transition is instant. The transformation takes time. It's like working out. YES it's hard when its new. And sometimes, it's hard even when it's your lifestyle.</div>

I have a friend who is a fitness monster. She does kettle balls, and runs marathons and eats a very healthy diet. She recently found herself in the middle of a squat challenge and daily she shared just how hard it was to meet the challenge. If someone who is physically active and strong struggles with a challenge then of course it will be difficult for someone who spends more time on the couch than the bike. Her confessions were tremendous encouragement to this couch potato to get up. Being challenged is just part of it. The real strength is having the courage and conviction to face the challenge.</div>

But, it can be done. There is no shame in the struggle. There is only shame in not taking the opportunity to get better when the opportunity is given. When God presents us with the challenge to get stronger in Him, He is fully prepared to meet our need and see us completely through it. But, we still have to choose to get up and move to it.</div>

Beloved, whatever it is you've been challenged with in Christ, it's time to stand up, face it, and follow after the Holy Spirit. Provision has already been made. It may in fact challenge you. You may want to quit. But press on. </div>

It's ok to feel like you're alone because then you can remind yourself that He said He would never leave us or forsake us and you'll feel His presence. It's ok to feel anxious and afraid because then you can remind yourself that He said He wouldn't leave us comfortless and you will be comforted. It's ok to feel like you don't have what you need to make it because He said that He would meet all our need and you will see provision. </div>

Every challenge we face is just another opportunity for God to glorify Himself in our lives. So rejoice, and give praise. He's got this and He's got you.</div>

When someone is secure in their situation, it doesn't matter how much actual money they may or may not have. Their sense of peace gives them strength, regardless of their bank balance. Whereas someone could have the wealth of Midas, but if they're expecting it all to go away, they have no wealth. Their poverty mindset feeds their eventual destruction.</span></div>

Those of us who may have come from meager or modest means an probably feel the truth in the statement "afraid that good things in your life are temporary." That perpetual anticipation of the other shoe dropping permeates every action when you've grown accustomed to 'not having'. It's that poverty mindset at work even when by all measures you're no longer poor. </div>

It is a stressful condition when you feel like you have to keep a death grip on everything and everyone to keep from losing them or it. It's exhausting. And when your strength is exhausted, the expectation is that it will all go away. </div>

Not so in Christ. In Christ, receiving is the real strength...not struggling to keep from losing but yielding to the will of the Father to have it all.</div>

Loved one, when it comes to Christ, be encouraged. Our Savior said that He would be with us always (Matthew 28:10) and that He would not leave us comfortless (John 14:18) and that we would receive power (Acts 1:8). All of this is given, and given freely to those who will follow.</div>

Its been a hard fight. You may have worked and scraped for everything you have. You may feel it's an insult to God to ever expect anything that you haven't worked, sweat and bled for. But, He already did the sweating and the working and the bleeding for you...for me. </div>

The hard work of our salvation and our restoration to the Father has already been done. We don't work to keep the Father's love. Our charge is to open our hands and our hearts and receive from the Father through the Son. The work that we do then is because of the Father's love; a love that we can never lose...we can only refuse it.</div>

The press and criticism and non-compliance of the people did and can get to be much on a young pastor. Whenever we are walking in our callings, regardless of the type of calling, the walk, the press, they can all get to be heavy. The enormity of the task can be overwhelming. It can be downright scary. So, we need to be encouraged along the way.</span></span><div dir="ltr">

<div dir="ltr" id="yiv7997324176yui_3_16_0_1_1444057733284_4107">

Fear is not from God. Moving in the things of God may make us fearful, but when we are following after the will of God in our lives, then we should not give room to the fear. It's not part of the will.</span></span></div>

It is perfectly reasonable to be afraid of the task that God has called us to. I can imagine that walking across the Red Sea bed looking up at walls of water was overwhelming. I'm certain that getting tied up and thrown into a burning furnace would have buckled my knees. Being thrown into a den of lions wouldn't have brought out my brave side. But, when we move in the will of God, we need to learn to shut out the fear and sometimes, shut out reason and take it on faith.</span></span></div>

While trite, it gets at the point. If we are walking in the will of God, why are we worried? We may not know the details of the deliverance, just as Moses didn't when he and the nation reached the shores of the Red Sea. But, he knew that God had promised deliverance.</span></span></div>

Be in His presence and assured of His will for your life. His hand on your situation should be as real to you as the situation itself. If not, seek Him more than the problem. The deliverance may manifest in something that a person does, but it will originate at the hand of the Father.</span></span></div>

You know that rain? The shower that comes up and cools everything off? That one that feels perfectly refreshing? So much so, you just want to go outside and walk around in it and soak it all in? That rain.</div>
<div class="yiv8323855621" dir="ltr" id="yiv8323855621yui_3_16_0_1_1442837744452_5080" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
That rain is refreshing anytime. But, when you haven't had rain in a long time, you get to the point where you're looking for it...anticipating it...longing for it.</div>
<div class="yiv8323855621" dir="ltr" id="yiv8323855621yui_3_16_0_1_1442837744452_5080" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
There are times when the Word of God comes in like a storm. It clears out debris, breaks off old growth. It stirs up the muck that has settled into bad habits in our lives. And when it passes through, we're forced to do storm clean up and repair, throwing out things we may have thought we needed but in fact were just in the way.</div>
<div class="yiv8323855621" dir="ltr" id="yiv8323855621yui_3_16_0_1_1442837744452_5080" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
There are times when the Word comes and its just a cloudburst. It whets our appetite for brief moment, causing us to set aside whatever care we were obsessing over and gives us the freedom to reset priorities.</div>
<div class="yiv8323855621" dir="ltr" id="yiv8323855621yui_3_16_0_1_1442837744452_5080" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Then, there's times when we've experienced what feels like a spiritual drought. When it seems like we've only received enough from Heaven to get by, but not enough to produce anything, let alone a harvest, when, at last, the sky changes, and the wind comes and you can smell the rain.</div>
<div class="yiv8323855621" dir="ltr" id="yiv8323855621yui_3_16_0_1_1442837744452_5080" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
You can smell the rain. This isn't a cloudburst. This isn't a storm. This is that gentle, soaking rain that saturates everything above and below. This is that Word of God that changes the deserts in our lives to a carpet of blooms. The one that takes a creek and makes it into a river. This is THAT rain. The one you've been waiting for. The one that you didn't know you needed until you could smell it coming.</div>
<div class="yiv8323855621" dir="ltr" id="yiv8323855621yui_3_16_0_1_1442837744452_5080" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Loved ones, feel the rain. Let it permeate and saturate everything in and around you. Let it wash away the dust and feed the seed that have been planted in your life. Accept the rain and let it wash over you.</div>
<div class="yiv8323855621" dir="ltr" id="yiv8323855621yui_3_16_0_1_1442837744452_5080" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Put off whatever was between you and God. Let the wounds be tended and enjoy that the morning was prepared just for you. Let His Word soak in and bring forth what's new and wonderful. Just let the Lord come as a former and latter rain in your life.</div>
<div class="yiv8323855621" dir="ltr" id="yiv8323855621yui_3_16_0_1_1442837744452_5080" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Smell that? The rain is coming.</div>

<span class="text Luke-2-14" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">Spring happened in our part of Georgia yesterday. It's a rather amazing thing. It happens every year pretty much the same way. We have a few weeks of cold, miserable, wet weather. Nothing as foreboding as what has befallen most of the northeast and midwest this year, but just nasty, cold weather.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<span class="text Luke-2-14" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">Then, after one or two warm days in late February or early March, the most remarkable thing happens. All of the Bradford Pears trees seem to burst open in a flurry of white flowers, almost at the same time. On Sunday morning, they were mostly still in bud. But by Monday morning, the flowers had opened and were fully extended in the sunlight. It's a beautiful sight.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

The way it happens always brings the scripture above to mind. Where there was a single flower, or just one tree in half bloom, then SUDDENLY, a multitude, lifted toward Heaven, praising God and glorifying Him in the best way they can.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When the very trees can praise Him, then how much more we?</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

So, whatever is on your mind today, no matter what highs or lows you're experiencing right now, I encourage you to join me and the trees, and the flowers that are all coming with Spring and rejoice! God is Great! Glory to Him in the Highest. Because, on earth, we have peace with the Father because of His Son and His good will is toward us because of His Spirit!!</div>
