The Spring season is a reminder of the treasure God planted in us. It is also a reminder that the real treasure in heaven is people.

I pray for all those reading, watching, or listening to this and their families, friends, and those connected to them. I also pray for all of our church and governmental leaders. 

Thank you for releasing us from the darkness and transferring us into the light, into the kingdom of your dear son. Thank you for your purpose and grace given to us in Christ Jesus before time began. Thank you that Jesus was smitten by you and it pleased you to crush him so that we could have life, abundant life, a life that is one with you. 

I ask that you the father of glory would give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that we would know you better and that the eyes of our hearts would be enlightened to know the hope to which you have called us and the riches of your glorious inheritance, the treasure, that you put ...

One of the concepts that is important for walking out our purpose or charge in life is the fear of the Lord vs the fear of man. The fear of the Lord is reverence, honor, respect, and awe for him. When we choose to honor God he honors us but sometimes we can get snared or entangled in life because pleasing people becomes a higher priority than pleasing God. 

Communion Meditation

The spring season is a reminder of a fresh start. Speaking of a fresh start, taking communion is an opportunity to turn the tables and have a fresh start. Take a moment to evaluate all of the areas of your life...Spiritually, mentally, emotionally, purpose, health, family(think through each of your relationships), finances, order, time, and community. Are there any areas that are going in the wrong direction?

The big question is which direction are you heading? If you are going the right direction it is only a matter of time before your results begin to compound and accelerate. Any areas ...

We just finished Easter, which is a reminder of the resurrection. In the Spring everything is green and growing, which is a reminder that we are supposed to be constantly charged up, full of life, and growing. We are to always be ready in season and out of season. One of the ways to do this is found in Jude, which says to build yourself up on your most Holy faith by praying in the spirit. Praying in the spirit is similar to charging up your internal batteries, it keeps you charged up. We can also stay charged up consistently by leaving margin in everything we do, which requires humility. Take a humble approach and build more margin into your life. 

During the resurrection of Jesus the stone was rolled away. One Easter, I was in church and the theme was the rock that rolled away. In the book of Joshua when the people cross over into the promised land and were circumcised God then told them that he had rolled away the reproach of Egypt from them. Reproach is guilt, ...

In the Spring, Easter is a reminder of renewal and making things new. It is also a reminder of the treasure God put within us. When Jesus rose from the dead God planted his spirit in our hearts as a seed and that seed contains treasure. It has everything we need for life and godliness, including directions on our purpose, or charge in life. In 1 Chronicles 22 King David charged Solomon with building God's temple. In Hebrew the word "charge," is tsavah, which means something similar to a guidance system like a GPS to guide us into the treasure of God's plan and purpose for our lives. One of the phrases I came across when researching the Hebrew was " a treasure map to the heart of God." 

God planted his seed in our hearts, and it contains treasure. God has called us to a holy calling and has given us purpose and grace in Christ Jesus before time ever began. Through Jesus, God has given us access to everything God has... His wisdom, understanding, power, love, kingdo...

Passover was the event that led to God's people being brought out of slavery and it says in Psalms 105:37 that when they came out they took the gold and silver of Egypt and there was not one feeble person among them. They were all divinely healthy when they came out. 

On Passover the people applied the blood of the lamb onto their doors. It is a reminder that we should be giving thanks because God has released us from the darkness and transferred us into the light and into the kingdom of his dear son. He has released us from slavery to sin and transferred us into his kingdom. 

When the people applied the blood to their doorposts they were divinely protected as long as they stayed in their houses. The blood created a hedge of protection. On Passover the people were commanded to eat every part of the lamb and not leave any of it remaining until the morning. With other sacrifices in the Old Testament there were certain parts of the animal that were not to be eaten but wit...

1 Corinthians chapter 2 it says that it is the spirit of a man that knows his thoughts and God has given us his Spirit so that we can understand the things he has freely given us. It then goes on to say that we have the mind of Christ, meaning that we can know Gods thoughts because we have His Spirit within us.  

His Spirit within us is meant to teach us that he has given us free access to everything he has...His wisdom, thoughts, love, power, peace, joy, faith, patience, energy, health, time, finances, and more. 

But we access God's grace by faith and to see his grace flowing in our lives we must learn to take the pressure off of ourselves. When we put pressure on ourselves we block the flow of God's grace in our lives. One of the best ways to take the pressure off of ourselves and see a major increase in the flow of God's grace is by viewing time differently, in that God has given us access to his time and he has more than enough.

Passover and the 7 Day Feast of Unleavened Bread are coming up soon. They start on the evening of Saturday, March 27th. 

Passover and Unleavened Bread are a very powerful 1-2 punch that is like communion x 10.

In our program the Abundant Life Blueprint we talk often about the power of taking communion. We take communion every night at dinner in our house. Communion has the power to change the trajectory of our lives. I was talking with my daughter this morning about the similarities of communion and Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread and she said, " Oh, I get it. It's like communion x 10." It is a powerful 1-2 punch. 

Before we get into the feasts, remember that these feasts are not something we have to do in order to be right with God or earn anything with him. They are a tremendous gift he has given us to teach us more about Jesus and his timing.

Passover is coming up on the evening of March 27th. 

Before we get into Passover it is important to remember that these feasts are a gift from God. They are not something we have to do in order to be right with God or earn anything from him. These feasts allow us to remember Jesus, see different aspects of what he has done for us, and learn more about God's rhythm and timing. 

Passover is a reminder that Jesus is the lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world. A traditional Passover meal consists of lamb, red wine/grape juice, matzo crackers, and bitter vegetables. All of these aspects are symbolic for us. The red wine/grape juice is just like the cup we take during communion and the cracker is just like the cracker we take. The only difference is this is an entire meal of communion, it is an enhanced version. The bitter vegetables are a reminder of how bitter life was without God and Jesus in our lives. 

Passover is a reminder that God has released...
