Choose This Day

Dear friend,


Has anyone felt God refining them in an intense way, lately?


Checks from the Holy Spirit coming quicker, Abba showing me places in my heart needing correction that I hadn't noticed before.


He's been asking me to obey faster, love in a way that is offensive to my sensibilities, show up when I feel nothing, face truths I've been avoiding, and in all of this, I sense a quickening in the world as we hurtle toward the day when that trumpet sounds across the skies.


I have come to realize. These aren't normal days. They're preparation.


We’re in a time where God is showing people what their hearts are truly attached to. He is showing people who they serve. 


Is it popularity? 

Being accepted? 

Their ambition?

Money? 

A specific culture? 


Even a specific ministry can become an idol.


Jesus loves the church and wants us to be in community, but in this time, He is rearranging people for various reasons. He may put you somewhere unexpected or call you out of a place you've called home.


If He asks you to move or go, you have to choose whether to follow His voice or your own desires and attachments.


This is just part of how God is revealing to people what and who truly sits on the throne in their hearts right now.


For shepherds, God is coming to deal with any place where sheep have become meals and holy places have become places of personal feasting. 


Jesus is coming back and He’s cleaning hearts and cleansing His house.


Choose Him. 


"Go out from the midst of her, be clean. You who bear the vessels of the Lord."


-Isaiah 52:11

How Staying Focused Keeps You Afloat

In the last post I wrote about how in the story of Nehemiah, two men called Sanballat and Tobiah were instantly disturbed by Nehemiah's plan to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. 

 

Then they laughed and accused Nehemiah of doing wrong. Nehemiah didn't fight them or go on a tirade defending himself. His answer to his newly formed panel of agitators was to state his unmoving faith in God. Even as they spread falsehoods against Nehemiah, he prevailed. How? He kept his eyes on the One who had given him his project. Focus will keep you on track and even in joy as you work. Keep reading.

Rejecting Every False Prophecy/Curse & Choosing God's Vision

When Sanballat and his buddies realized he could not attack Nehemiah's body, they tried to attack his mind with accusations. When they realized the attacks on the mind did not work, they tried to attack his spirit by having him come into physical agreement with false prophecy of imminent attack and death ("they will come and kill you").

What has been falsely prophesied over your work? That it's not a good time to start? That the economy isn't good enough? That no one will like your work? That it will fail? That you're not the one to do it? The enemy cannot physically make you stop but he will try to discourage and discredit you. Come out of agreement with any false prophetic word and come into agreement God's sight for your project. Keep reading.
