Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
A few days ago, I felt like God was highlighting Proverbs 26:2 which says, " Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest."
This verse tells us that an undeserved curse is like about a bird jumping around from one place to the next, but he can't come to rest on you, because you've been made righteous in Christ, which means you've been redeemed from the curse of the law and given God's blessing and favor.
God's favor surrounds you like a shield, and the curse can't come to rest, because of the gift of righteousness given in Christ.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand how an undeserved curse can't come to rest and how to walk in the fullness of this.

Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation.
Recently we passed through the Day of Pentecost, which is the middle of the year. In this second half of the year we switch to prioritizing playing good defense.
In the Abundant Life Blueprint the areas of purpose, health, and family are where we focus on offense.
Finances are neutral meaning we must be good at offense and defense.
And order, time, and community are about playing defense.
Let's spend some times seeking God on how we can better play defense in our lives.
I am praying for you.

In Psalm 106:13 it says, "The people soon forgot what God had done and did not wait for his plan to unfold."
God has a plan for us, but his word and his plan must unfold.
Folding creates layers and levels, which can actually increase capacity.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the unfolding of his plan, and for him to unfold the next level.
Today's Health and Fitness Tip
Folding has to do with stacking or layering, which is very important for developing the work capacity of the body. The body has an amazing capacity for work. Let's live at a higher level of work.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
Lately we've been talking about resetting our frequency and how God prunes us so that we can be lifted up by the Spirit.
Our frequency has to do with our thoughts and feeling, and pruning is about cutting away.
Hebrews 4:12 NCV says, "God’s word is alive and working and is sharper than a double-edged sword. It cuts all the way into us, where the soul and the spirit are joined, to the center of our joints and bones. And it judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts."
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God is cutting away the things that will help us reset our frequency.

Here is today's communion meditation.
We've been talking about how Jesus was exalted to God's right hand and how we are to set our hearts and minds on the things above.
This is part of resetting our frequency.
Psalm 149:6 says, " May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands."
Notice that this verse references not just praise.... but HIGH praise. Praising for the things above, and the double edged sword of God's word in our hands.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us be filled with high praise for him.

Good morning!
Here is today's communion meditation.
Yesterday we said that Jesus has been exalted to God's right hand.
Colossians 3:1 says, " If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God."
And Ephesians 2:6 says," And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus."
Part of resetting our frequency this month is setting our heart and mind on the things above.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us set our heart and mind on the things above where we have been seated with Christ.

Here is today's communion meditation.
Last week was Pentecost ... A reminder we've been given the gift of the Holy Spirit.
In Acts 2:33 it says, " Exalted to the right hand of God, Jesus has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear."
We see the progression here being... Jesus was exalted by God, then he received the Holy Spirit, and he poured the Spirit out on us.
If you read on in Acts chapter 2 it says that when the people heard this they were cut to the heart and wanted to know how to be saved.
This time of year is a reminder of God's pruning, how he cuts us back and lifts us up by the Spirit at the same time.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that Jesus has been exalted to God's right hand and has poured the Spirit out to us.

Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update communion meditation.
It seems like every year at this time God reminds me of a story one of our partners taught me about being lifted up by the Spirit.
In John 15:1-2 Jesus said, "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful."
The Greek word for prune can also be translated as lift up. People will often argue whether God prunes us or lifts us up, but the answer is both.
The partner told a story of pruning and lifting up at the same time. There was a tree with branches that were hanging low, and a tree specialist trimmed off the smaller branches that were protruding out. As he did this it removed some of the weight on the branch and the branch began to immediately lift higher without having to cut the whole thing off. The branch was both pruned and lifted up...

A few days ago was Pentecost ... A reminder we've been given the gift of the Holy Spirit.
And yesterday we looked at Acts 4:31 which says, "And when the disciples had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.
This verse reminded me of Luke 6:38 where Jesus said, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
The phrase shaken together comes from when merchants would pour grain into someone's garment. They would shake the garment with the grain to create more room to fill the garment with even more grain.
When the disciples prayed, God shook the place so that there was more space he could fill in them with Holy Spirit.

Good morning!

Yesterday was Pentecost on the Jewish calendar ... A reminder we've been given the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 4:31 says, "And when the disciples had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.
In the Bible there are several scriptures about God shaking things, and one of the themes is that he shakes things for the benefit of his people.
Shaking things up provides a fresh start and a reset, which can allow a greater level of His power to flow.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude that we can be filled with the Holy Spirit.
