Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.
We are in a season of the year where God likes to pivot, change directions, and reposition things—including people. If you are experiencing a shift or feeling a nudge that God wants you to make a shift, this feeling is probably from him. These shifts take place because God always wants to have people functioning in their highest capabilities. He will often shift things to bring out the best in us... but he will always give us a choice as to whether we will reposition or not.
All along God’s path, there are forks in the road where we will be given the choice as to which direction we will go. This time of the year is a pivotal decision-making time. As decisions are made, follow a sense of peace on the inside.
One of the biggest keys to shifts and repositioning is free will. A few years ago, I was on a field trip with my daughter to a historic...

Several years ago Proverbs 13:22 changed my life. It says a good person leaves an inheritance for their children's children. This is the verse that inspired the Abundant Life Blueprint. But, there is a 2nd half to this verse that we haven't really talked about much.
Proverbs 13:22 also says "a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous."
And Ecclesiastes 2:26 says, "To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God."
In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand these verses and to receive these promises.

In Philippians 1:4-6 the apostle Paul said, "In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
Partners working together on a shared vision is one of the greatest accelerators in all of life.
In today's communion we are asking God to understand the power of partnership and walk in partnership the way he desires.

A great workout partner can be one of the best ways to accelerate your progress.

Proverbs 10:22 says, " The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, without painful toil for it."
One of the things we have to learn to do in our walk with God is to stop toiling. We often toil away in our minds, but this is not how we receive God's blessing.
In Luke 5:5 before Peter followed the instructions of Jesus and caught a huge amount of fish he said, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.”
In today's communion we are asking God to help us walk in his blessing without the painful toil.

The world has taught us that results are produced through painful workouts, but this isn't God's way. His way is gentle, fun, and beautiful and you can get great results this way but it requires a different mindset.

Lately the idea of being entangled keeps coming up, and I have been thinking about a principle in quantum physics called quantum entanglement which says that 2 particles can be connected such that they instantly influence each other even from long distances.
In my book "Pockets of Prosperity," one of the concepts is that we can get entangled in things that steal our time and Jesus came to undo or untie the works of the Devil.
The other day Nahum 1:10 stood out. It says, "They will be entangled among thorns and drunk from their wine."
In the parable of the sower in Matthew 13:22 Jesus said that "The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful."
In today's communion we are asking God to help us get untangled so that we can be efficient with our time and walk in His good plan for...

Prayers of Petition are one of the most powerful forms of prayer. The way I've learned to do a prayer of petition is to write out a formal request to God, sign and date it, and take communion over the prayer. This serves as a point of contact, which is a way to release our prayer to God.
In 1 Samuel 17, Hannah(the mother of Samuel) was pouring her heart out to God because she didn't have any children and Eli the priest saw her and said, "“Go in peace, may the God of Israel grant the petition you have asked of Him.”
Hannah received his words by faith, and went on to be the mother of Samuel.
In today's communion we are asking God to teach us how to do prayers of petition the way he desires.

There is a connection between order and time. Order is about positioning, and whenever we put something in its proper position it seems to save and restore time, because space and time are connected.
We are in a time of year when God often repositions us to bring us into a higher level of what he's called us to, and when this happens it has a benefits on our time.
In Isaiah 38 is the story of God healing King Hezekiah and making time go backwards.
Isaiah 38:1 says, "In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”
Then God told Hezekiah that he would heal him and add 15 years to his life. Then to give Hezekiah a sign God said he would make the sun go backwards as show that...

The other day I was reading through Genesis chapter 1 and noticed something interesting. On the first three days of creation, it says there was "evening and morning," but God didn't make the sun, moon, and stars until day four.
How was there evening and morning if there was no sun or moon?
I did a little research into this, but I honestly don't have a great answer yet. The best answer I've found so far is that the Hebrew word for evening can also mean "chaos, entropy, and disorder," which would imply that there was still disorder in the earth because God wasn't done creating yet.
In today's communion we are asking God to teach us about the significance of there being evening and morning on the first three days of creation.
Also, if any of you have an answer for this feel free to reach out to me.

Hey everyone!
Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.
This is a time of year when God likes to shift things around. Shifting has to do with positioning. He may reposition us because he wants to move us into a role that uses a higher level of our gifting. If we have grown a lot over this last year, he wants to move us into a higher level of what he has called us to do.
When things shift, it can seem scary because of the uncertainties, but the changes are needed to bring out our potential. God will often shift us into a role that requires a higher level of self-management paired with serving people on a higher level. It will take courage to step into a higher level of our gift, because it will require a higher level of transparency of who we really are. It will take courage to really give our gift to the world.
If you are a leader of people, this is a time to be seeking God, to make sure that all of your people are...

In Matthew 16:19 Jesus said, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Lately I have been thinking about these keys to the kingdom. In my book "Pockets of Prosperity," we talk about how the keys to the kingdom can unlock certain areas of the Abundant Life Blueprint. In the picture below this message, you'll see 4 layers of circles, and each layer has a different set of keys that unlock those areas of the Blueprint.
In today's communion we are asking God for the keys to the kingdom so that we can unlock all that he for us in Christ.
