Do Whatever Your Hand Finds To Do

Uncategorized May 24, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

 In 1 Samuel 10:6-7 Samuel is getting ready to anoint Saul as the King of Israel and he tells him, "Then the Spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be transformed into a different person. Once these signs are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you."

Tomorrow is Pentecost and there are a lot of similarities in this verse and what happened on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came in like a rushing wind, Peter prophesied, and the people were transformed. 

Something I have found personally is that we can have our own personal day of Pentecost, where the Spirit rushes upon us and transforms us into a different person. 

In today's communion is a time of gratitude for the reminder of Pentecost and we are asking God to help us do what our hand finds to do, because we trust that God is with us.

The Belt of Truth

Uncategorized May 23, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

 Ephesians 6:14 says, "Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist." 

In the original Greek language, "stand firm," could also be translated as ready for action. If you are getting ready for activity you need to make sure your pants aren't going to fall off!

And the word "buckled," can also be translated as clothed. We are getting ready for Pentecost on Thursday 5/25, and Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they were clothed with power from on high. Part of this clothing is being clothed with the truth, because the Holy Spirit was sent to guide us into all truth. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the belt of truth and how to have it on and ready all the time.

Strengthened With Power

Uncategorized May 22, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

 Colossians 1:9-12 says, "We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, 10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, 12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.

This is a prayer Paul continually prayed for the people and we see in this prayer that God's power has the ability to strengthen us so that we have all endurance. 

In today's communion we are asking God to strengthen us with all power so that we have all endurance.

An Appearance of Wisdom

Uncategorized May 21, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

 Colossians 2:20-23 says, "Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence."

There are two kinds of wisdom... The wisdom of the world vs the wisdom of God. And there are a lot of things have the appearance of wisdom but are really not because they have no power to get to the root of issues.

In today's communion we are asking God to help us discern things that have the appearance of wisdom but are not his wisdom.

The Eyes of Your Heart

Uncategorized May 20, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

Part of our Daily Prayer comes from Ephesians chapter 1, where the apostle Paul prays that the eyes of the peoples hearts would be enlighted to know the hope to which God has called us, the riches of his glorious inheritance that is in us, and the immeasurable greatness of his power to us who believe. 

But, what are the eyes of our heart?

We all come to conclusions about what is really true in life, and those conclusions frame our perspectives. And our perspectives change what we see in the world. Therefore for the eyes of our heart to see what God wants us to see we must be seeing with the eyes of our heart from the correct perspective. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the eyes of our heart, and to see with the eyes of our heart the things he wants us to see.

Wait Until You've Been Clothed With Power

Listen to the Podcast

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.

 Next Thursday 5/25 is Pentecost, which is a reminder that we have the Holy Spirit living within us, and he is the one who empowers us. Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they were clothed with power from on high. And it was around 9am, on the day of Pentecost that the Holy Spirit came in like a rushing wind and empowered the believers.  

Here is our filter for this week... Wait Until You've Been Clothed With Power.

I am praying for you.

Accelerated Body Transformation

Uncategorized May 19, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

Our physical bodies are a representation of the body of Christ. The same principles that transform our physical body can also transform the body of Christ and vice versa. 

Last month God began to teach me that when we follow his design for how things are to be done we can get accelerated results. He then reminde me of a baseball coach who could transform a hitter with one 30-60 minute talk. So I took the baseball coaches principles for creating very rapid transformations and applied them to my nutrition and workouts. 

Immediately I noticed results and within a few weeks I lost 10 pounds while also getting stronger. And my goal now is to take a group of people through the program. 

Next Thursday 5/25/23 we are launching a new program called God's Solution for Accelerated Body Transformation. 

The program will be one video ( about 30 - 60 minutes) and if you take action it should be all that you need to start seeing your b...

God Solutions

Uncategorized May 18, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

 There are two ways that most people try to get results. One way is to do something extreme, and this way usually produces quick results, but the results don't usually last because the approach wasn't sustainable. The other approach is the slow and steady approach. But this style can be frustrating because the progress is slow, and sometimes there are setbacks that make it seem like you are starting all over again. 

Last month our message was on the Best Use of Time, and I feel like God was teaching me that his solutions provide a way that produces accelerated results that last. The results are both fast and sustainable because we are doing things the way God designed them to function. 

In today's communion we are asking God for the solutions he has for us that produce accelerated results that truly last.

Multiplication by Subtraction

Uncategorized May 17, 2023

There is no video or audio today due to technical difficulties.

Here is today's communion meditation.

 It can be easy to get tangled up in spending a lot of time on things that are not needed. Some of these may be little things, but they can steal a lot of energy and focus, and the way to multiply our results is often by subtracting the things that are not needed. 

The Scriptures tells us that Jesus came to undo the works of the devil. This could also be translated us untie the works of the devil, because we can get tangled up in things. 

In today's communion we are asking Jesus to untie us from anything we are entangled in that is stealing our time, energy, and focus away from delighting in him.

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

In our workouts we can also waste time on exercises that don't produce much results. We are also asking God to to multiply our results by helping us focus on the things that really produce results. 

 I am praying for you.

Great Delight in God's Commands

Uncategorized May 16, 2023
 

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month our message is "Delight Yourself in the Lord."

Psalm 112 gives some amazing promises for those who delight in God's commands. 

Here is Psalm 112:1-5

Blessed are those who fear the Lord,

  who find great delight in his commands

2 Their children will be mighty in the land;

    the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches are in their houses,

    and their righteousness endures forever.

4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,

    for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.

5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,

    who conduct their affairs with justice.

In today's communion we are asking God to help us find great delight in His commands.
