 Our message for July is... Being Bold Leads to God's Best.

Yesterday we talked about how part of being bold is being strong and courageous.

And when we are strong and courageous can stand firm in the faith, unmoved by circumstances. 

1 Corinthians 16:13 says, "“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.”

In today's communion we are asking God to help us stand firm in the faith the way he intended.

Stand firm in your consistency with your workouts and nutrition. One of the best ways to stand firm in the faith is by standing firm in gratitude. Staying positioned in gratitude consistently will help you stand firm in the faith. 

I am praying for you.

During July, it seems God always reminds me of his favor. His favor surrounds us like a shield and is on us for a lifetime. And Jesus grew in favor with God and man. Favor is something we can grow in. 

The way we grow in favor is by doing good continually and looking for opportunities to be a blessing. And sometimes the greatest opportunities to grow in favor are disguised as problems. 

Problems we can help other people with are great opportunities to grow in favor. 

Here is our filter for this week... Grow in Favor

I am praying for you.

 Our message for July is... Being Bold Leads to God's Best.

Part of being bold is being strong and courageous. 

Joshua 1:9 says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

And Isaiah 41:10 says, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

We can be strong and courageous because we trust that God is always with us, he will strengthen us, help us, and uphold us. But we have to keep remembering this because it can be easy to forget, especially when we are fighting against issues and problems. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us be strong and courageous the way he intended because we trust that he is with us.

Luke 6:45 AMP says, "The [intrinsically] good man produces what is good and honorable and moral out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart; and the [intrinsically] evil man produces what is wicked and depraved out of the evil [in his heart]; for his mouth speaks from the overflow of his heart.

Whatever we store up, value, and treasure in our heart is going to overflow out of our mouth, especially when the pressure is on. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us produce good consistently out of the overflow of our heart.

Every time you do a workout think of it like building equity in your body. Think of it like a small investment into your body, and the equity will be there later to draw from. 

I am praying for you.

Today, July 19th is a reminder of God's favor. His favor is on you for a lifetime, and it surrounds you like a shield. 

Our message for July is, " Being Bold Leads to God's Best."

And there is a very close connection between boldness and confidence, but one of the biggest things that can steal our confidence is condemnation.

Romans 8:1, says "therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus

And 1 John 3:20-22 says, "Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things. 21Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God, 22and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight."

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God is greater than our hearts and we are asking him to help us walk free of condemnation so that we have boldness and confidence.

And there is a very close connection between boldness and confidence, because confidence leads to boldness. 

2 Corinthians 5:5-9 says, "Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it."

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand how he has fashioned us for a purpose and given us the Spirit as a deposit guaranteeing what is to come, so that we can be always confident in him.

Recently I was thinking about the boldness of Jesus to proclaim his purpose in Luke chapter 4:18-21.

It says, "“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

2 Timothy 1:9 says, "God has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began."

In today's communion we are asking to help us gain clear understanding of his purpose for us in Christ...

The other day we looked at Ephesians 6:19 which says, "Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel."

 And 1 Corinthians 4:1 says that God has made us to be stewards of the mysteries of God. 

In my book "Cracking Heaven's Code." there is a chapter on the mysteries of God and how they serve as the rules that govern the way our bodies work.

The 8th mystery in "Cracking Heaven's Code," is the mystery of the Jubilee. 

Leviticus 25:10 says, " You shall thus consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release through the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family."

In the Old Testament Law every 50th year was the year of Jubilee, which was a great reset. All debt was forgive...

The 7th mystery in "Cracking Heaven's Code," is the mystery the unity of one body. 

Ephesians 3:6 says, "This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel."

There is tremendous power in unity and becoming one... and we have the amazing opportunity to be part of the body and one with the Lord.

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.

During July, God seems to always remind me of something I wrote in “7 Dates With Jesus.” On July 19, 2014, Psalms 121:7-8 jumped out at me. The verses say “The Lord will keep you from all evil, he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” 

Then that night, God woke me up around 3 a.m., and there was a sermon that I felt I was supposed to listen to. The first words out of the pastors mouth were: “The Lord’s favor is on you and it surrounds you like a shield.”

That day, I had also read another passage in Psalm 125:2-3: “As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore. For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous.”

When I wrote “7 Dates With Jesus,” God instructed me to make sure I recorded the date of July 19 and its link to favor. God’s favor is on us for a l...
