Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
Our message for March is, "Resetting Our Understanding," and about how the Holy Spirit helps us understand all that God has given us in Christ.
In Colossians 1:29 the Apostle Paul said, "For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me."
Notice Paul was using God's energy within him.
One of the things God has given us is His energy and it can work powerfully within us.
Think about this for a moment... We don't have to use our own energy. We can use God's.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that we've been given God's energy. And we are asking the Holy Spirit to help us understand this and how to access God's energy within us.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
Our message for March is, "Resetting Our Understanding," and we talked about how the Holy Spirit helps us understand all that God has given us in Christ.
Ephesians 6:11 says, "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes."
God has given us His armor.
This reminds me of the story of David and Goliath, when King Saul gave David his armor to wear.
But David couldn't function in Saul's armor because it was too big and heavy.
God's armor fits us perfectly in Christ.
In today's communion we are asking the Holy Spirit to help us understand that we've been given the armor of God, to help us understand how to put it on and function with it.

The ability to move well is like armor, it's protective. Keep training your ability to move in all kinds of different ways.
I am praying for you.

Good morning!

Our message for March is, "Resetting Our Understanding," and we talked about how the Holy Spirit helps us understand all that God has given us in Christ.
One of the things for us to understand is that we have been given the power of God's might.
Ephesians 6:10 says, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power."
Notice this doesn't say be strong yourself and in your own power... This says to be strong in the Lod and in God's power.
He has given us access to his power.
In today's communion we are asking the Holy Spirit to help us understand how to be strong in the Lord and His mighty power, and to help us walk in the fullness of this.

Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation.
This is an excerpt for this time of year from my book, "The Miracle Year."
We all have a need for confidence. I believe one of the biggest keys in life is that we are continually growing, which means that we need to continually learn and master new skills. Mastering new skills requires us to grow our confidence.
1 John 3:21 says that if our hearts do not condemn us, we will have confidence before God. The biggest key to increasing confidence is dealing with condemnation. We often lack confidence because we are beating ourselves up, thinking that we are not good enough or not capable of excelling in certain areas. To develop confidence, we must first roll away condemnation so that we are willing to grow and try new things.
Condemnation zaps confidence. God is living in us, and he can help us master new things.
Once condemnation is rolled away, we...

Several years ago I was talking with my grandpa one morning, and he said that he had just finished reading Romans chapter 8.
Then he said that I should read it, and read it at least twice.
So, later that day I flipped open my Bible to Romans chapter 8 and verse 11 seemed to jump off the page.
It says, "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you."
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that the same spirit and the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us and brings life to our flesh. And we are asking God and the Holy Spirit to help us understand this and apply it to our...

2 Timothy 1:9 says, " God saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began."
In today's communion we are asking the Holy Spirit to help us understand the purpose and grace that was given to us in Christ.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
Our message for March is, "Resetting Our Understanding," and we talked about how the Holy Spirit helps us understand all that God has given us in Christ.
Several years ago, God showed me that I needed to understand his grace... that he is doing continually good for us all the time, even when we miss it.
During this time Proverbs 19:8 came to life for me which says, "The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper."
But what does it mean to "cherish," understanding?
The word used for "cherish," is the Hebrew word "shamar," which is the same word used in Genesis 2:15 when it says, "The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep(shamar) it.
Shamar means to keep, protect, watch, guard, hedge in, to treasure, and to cherish.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us "shamar," understanding the...

Our message for March is, "Resetting Our Understanding," and we've talked about how the Holy Spirit helps us understand all that God has given us in Christ.
One of the things we've been given is the holiness of Jesus.
Hebrews 10:10 says, "For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time."
In today's communion let's take some time to give thanks and meditate on how we've been made holy for all time by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus.

One of my favorite exercises is farmers walks, which is just picking up a weight and walking with it. This exercise strengthens the whole body and especially the hands. I like to finish many workouts by doing a set or two of farmers walks at the end.

While thinking about this I was reminded of the story of David making preparations for the temple that Solomon would build.
In 1 Chronicles 28, God had given David all of the exact details for the temple... The dimensions and even the weight of all the dishes.
1 Chronicles 28:19 says, "“All this,” David said, “I have in writing as a result of the LORD’s hand on me, and he enabled me to understand all the details of the plan.”
God not only gave David the exact plan in writing, but he also gave him understanding of the plan.
Having understanding leads to knowing what to do, and also how to make adjustments when needed.
In today's communion we are asking the Holy Spirit to help us understand all of the...
Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation.
The Spring is a time of year when time feels like it's going faster and accelerator. Something important to know about time, is that it's relative. We don't always experience time the same way. In the Fall season it will feel like time slows down, and this is balanced with time feeling like it's moving faster in the Spring.
This is actually a gift from God, because He is trying to accelerate us into what He has for us this year.
Think of this time like the onramp to a major highway, you must first accelerate to get up to speed.
God has given us the gift of the yearly cycle to help us in life, but we must learn how to operate it correctly.
In order to best operate when time is accelerating remember the 4 P's of Productivity from my book "Pockets of Prosperity."
The 4 P's are... Praying, Praising, Playing, and People with People working together in...
