As I go through a challenging time, it is good to hear from someone who articulates well the struggle of faith and wisdom in trusting God.

I have recently heard something new from God (new to me). That we move through a progression, Holiness to Glory and then to Authority. So lets start with Holiness; Holiness is not by our effort 1 Cor 1:30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. When we move from trying to be something or someone to resting in the work of Christ this makes sense. If we can accept that our position, status, standing, and quality of heart and character are provided for us in Christ we can accept that we are, even in the midst of our current state, Holy. This starts by accepting the Grace that was purchased once and for all by Jesus through his death on the cross, resurrection and ascension. There is no other answer!

Just got my copy and very excite to see what God does over this next year with #JohnEldredge 's latest book. #RestorationYear

I have taught recently, asking the question do we keep the Ten commandments anymore, NO? Many people have trouble with this because the Law is perfect, but incapable of helping us keep it.The Law only condemns, it can never approve or validate. So Jesus died by which we became dead to the Law. Jesus fulfills us enabling us to walk in Righteousness not Lawfulness. Acts 15:5-11

10 THINGS A HURTING HUSBAND NEEDS FROM HIS WIFE 1. He needs your encouragement, not your rejection. 2. He needs you to forgive him for his failures and wrong choices. 3. He needs you to believe in him. 4. He needs you to intercede to the Lord on his behalf. 5. He needs you to be his friend and his lover. 6. He needs you to love him for who he is and where he’s at, rather than his potential. 7. He needs you to focus on your growth in the Lord rather than you focusing on his growth. 8. He needs you to minister to him. When my Beloved was broken, I made it my aim to build him up and speak the Words of Life into him as often as I could. I’d share the Scriptures with him by either reading him the Word or by writing verses and leaving them on his desk or chair. The word of God does not return void. (If he’s not a Believer and he’s hostile toward the Gospel message, then just pray for him and make sure your conduct and attitude are filled with love and grace.) 9. When your man is down, it’s easy for a wife to just take over….but I caution you not take this path without first asking your husband a boatload of questions. If your man feels emasculated by your leadership, he’ll withdraw even more. So tread lightly here. Continue to refer to him and find out how he wants things done and then follow through on his request. This action may provoke him to get out of his pit. 10. You’ve got to be in the Word of God as if your life depended on it because that’s where your Source of Strength will come from.

As a father of 3 daughters and been married to two wonderful women, I can attest to the fact that women carry the beauty of God and His ministry of love, comfort, and compassion. Yesterday we honored our mothers, which if you understand it, is an act of worship to them for God.

Do you know that you have a place in the story?

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8 BE NUMBERED AMONG THE UNDEVOURABLE The devil cannot just walk right up to you and rob you of your health, peace or family. He cannot just come into your life to enforce disease and destruction. If the devil can do that, then he does not have to walk about “seeking whom he may devour”. He only has to walk straight up to anyone he wants to devour and devour him! But since the Bible says that he goes about seeking whom he may devour, the truth then is that there are people whom he cannot devour. You see, the devil goes about like a roaring lion trying to stir up fear in people with his roars. But the people who are not devourable are those who refuse to be intimidated by his roars because they know that the true Lion of Judah, Jesus Christ (Revelation 5:5), has already come and rendered powerless him who had the power of death. (Hebrews 2:14, NASB) They know that the devil cannot just do anything to them because the Lion of Judah resides in them, and that He is greater than the devil who is in the world. (1 John 4:4) My friend, the Lion of Judah is in you. He has given you rights, privileges, authority and power. He redeemed you with His blood. Therefore, everything about you and your life is redeemed by His blood. So if you are fearful about losing your job, cover your job with the blood of Jesus. If you are worried about your children’s safety in these days of terrorist attacks, plead the blood of Jesus over them. If you have received a bad report from the doctor, speak the blood over yourself. Whatever you have covered with the blood of Jesus, God declares, “Protected! Redeemed!” And the devil flees when he sees the blood. And when he flees, he takes with him sicknesses, diseases, pains, sufferings, destruction and loss. Once the devil knows that you know who you are in Christ and what you have in Him, his days of intimidating you are over, and you are numbered among the undevourable!

As we approach the new year, I have two questions for you. What now and why not? Now, read or reread the scripture below. First What now, if you have been provide for by God what "Good Works" are you to be doing? This is not about Church service, but who God has called you to be. So pursue your calling so God is glorified in who He made you to be. Second, if you're struggling with the provision part, there is a reason. God is not holding out on you, but the answer is not trying again, it's peace, hope, and rest. Peace, God wants you to have His provision for your life. We need to cultivate hope in our hearts so we can dream for what God wants to do in our lives. Rest is essential for moving forward. It is in every facet of nature, the calm before the storm, the sleeping or can't eat enough of a grow spurt, winter before spring, and so the restful waiting on God for His supply.

Before you pack up your Christmas decorations please take a listen to this podcast because the Christmas season doesn't end on Christmas Day. http://www.ransomedheart.com/podcast/most-beautiful-dangerous-story

Can anyone tell me why this sign is so messed up? Hint Gal 2:20 & Proverbs 24:20

I love John's new book. It really capture the heart. We need HOPE like we need air to breathe. Listen to the Facebook live recording of John discussing his new book, All Things New.

I am so looking forward to this book and DVD.

One day the veil with be completely removed from the Jewish people, but until then it is great to see that Jesus (Yeshua) has never left His people. For He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, for both Jew and Gentile.
