MAKE YOUR DOG HAPPY-GROW UP IN CHRIST
Have you ever caught your dog looking at you with a strange expression? Then you go through the litany of questions you routinely ask them.
Do you have to go outside?
Are you hungry?
Do you want to play with your ball?
When there is no response, you return to what you were doing, and your dog wanders into the other room.
If you really knew what your precious pup was thinking, it would knock you off your chair. Because she has had her eye on you for quite a while, wondering when you're going to grow up and become the son/daughter of God that your called to be.
You do know that it wasn't their idea, these precious creatures that we love, to fall from the place of their original creation when Adam and Eve committed their crime against God. As it turned out, it was something God had to do, demoting them as he did so that they would stay below the authority and functioning level of the human that God created.
Since that time, according to the eighth chapter of Romans, all of creation has been holding their breath, standing on her tiptoes, as it were, looking and yearning to witness the unveiling of the sons of God.
So the next time your sweet little pet comes up to you and gives you that look, tell them you, too, are longing for that day when the sons and daughters of God will be fully manifested and functioning in their complete design.
Meanwhile, on the human level, we continue to be obedient to the call on our life, that is, to be like Christ in all our actions and deeds. We continue to commit ourselves to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, knowing that for all the things that the world strives for, God has his plan for that, also.
Rejoice, my friends; there are indeed great days ahead.

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES
As I'm reading the eighth chapter of Romans again today, I have a flashback to my childhood and the games we played. As an all-American boy, I always carried my cap gun with me. And the dream of most of the boys in the 50s was they would have loved to be a cowboy or Davy Crockett.
Somewhere through most days, we would have a shoot-out with some imaginary enemy. One day it would be the Pirates; the next day, the renegade Indians or just robbers stealing our stuff.
The magic of those imaginary battles was that whenever I was shot moments later, I jumped up from the ground and yelled, "new man." Then, that new man would jump right back into the battle.
I thought of that again as the scripture tells us that our old man is dead. When Jesus died on the cross, we died with him because we were in him. So that when he rose from the dead, we also rose to newness of life.
Indeed we are a new man in Christ.
The wonderful byproduct of all that has taken place is that our body now has no dominion over us; therefore, sin does not reign in our mortal bodies.
Unfortunately, sin and the subject there has become a cottage industry for the Church. Much of the focus that comes from our theologians, i.e., teachers and preachers, is overly focused on sin; things we should not do, and what the sins are.
As a young Pentecostal Christian, it was very simplified for me because they gave us a detailed list of the sins. We didn't need the Holy Ghost to convict us; all we had to do was read the list.
Paul reveals to us in Romans eight that we have been freed from the tyrant of sin and are duty-bound to live in the sunshine of righteousness.

DON'T FORGET WHAT YOU SAW IN THE MIRROR
There's a term we use once in a while for people who are always looking inward to see who they are and what they are. We called them "naval gazers."
When we do that, we quickly find things to be discouraged over because of our human tendencies. As we gaze at ourselves, we lose track of who God made us and why he made us.
In the book of James, the first chapter, we are reminded that the word of God is the mirror that we look in to see our genesis. As we gaze into the word, we understand that we are a reflection of Jesus and made in his likeness.
However, James also warns us that many walk away from that mirror of the word of God and forget who God made them.
There is such a thing as false humility. We hear it in too many places in the Church. Statements such as "I'm just a sinner saved by grace." That statement sounds very pious at the outset, but it still ties us to our past.
The current reality is that I am a son of God and a joint air with Jesus Christ.
I am also aware that I am dead to sin and alive to righteousness.
But you say, how could that be true? I just failed again today.
I say back to you, "just get over yourself," and step into the reality of what God has made you and your purpose on this earth.
Go back again to the word of God that reflects the real you, the face of Jesus in that mirror. Then step into your destiny and be who God has called you to be.

THINKING PATTERNS ARE FORMED BY REFERENCE-EITHER FLESH OR SPIRIT
The scriptures tell us as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
Romans eight and six in the mirror Bible makes the statement; thinking patterns are formed by reference. If you think on the flesh, you will be addicted to the flesh and suffer the consequences of failure and death.
However, if you think on spiritual things, you will enjoy tranquility of the soul and eternal life.
As obvious as the choice seems to be between life and death. It still takes the Holy Spirit to illuminate this truth in our hearts so we can believe in Jesus and receive eternal life.
My encouragement to you today is that you become addicted to spiritual thinking and not flesh thinking.
When you do, you will reap the harvest of spiritual thinking. The mirror Bible says; Tranquility flowing from my mind addicted to spiritual realities.
Philippians four and eight give us a "God list" to think from. Then it tells us if we think on these things, we will not be moved.

WILL THE REAL GOD PLEASE STAND UP
Judgment and wrath or mercy and grace. Which one can we expect from our heavenly father today? According to a disproportionate amount of preaching that we have heard from the pulpits of our nation, we can expect God to be full of wrath and judgment today.
Why?
Because we broke one of the many hidden laws, we didn't even know about. Such as evil thoughts, wrong actions, and even simple mistakes. According to some of our church background, you and I have been axed out of his love many times for the slightest infraction.
How many times have you heard something like this?
"God doesn't love little boys who hit their sister."
"God doesn't love you if you swear and take his name in vain."
Well, I'm sure you could probably fill in the blanks with your own story. Some of the teachings we had growing up in the church convinced us that any alteration from a strict set of rules would put God in a bad mood. And, of course, someone would quote the verse about not "falling into the hands of an angry god."
I never could figure out why God was always so angry. Then I would say something humorous like maybe he fought with his wife before he came to the office. Of course, I knew that wasn't true, but I got a laugh out of it anyway.
Better to laugh than to cry when you're dealing with an angry god.
If you've read this far into my thoughts today, you realize by now that we don't have an angry god; we have a loving heavenly father who will never stop loving us.
According to Roman in the eighth chapter, there is nothing you can ever come up with that will stop or even hinder in any way the love he has toward you. And as long as God's love is there for you, redemption and forgiveness are always on the table for the taking.

KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD
For the past 200 years, the church, as we know it, in our western evangelical theology, has had one primary message. Hurry up and get saved because Jesus is coming any minute. Then when we do get saved, they sit us in a seat to listen to the unending messages about waiting, waiting, waiting.
After a while, we begin to wonder, what in the world are we waiting for? Many traditional churches have put off to the future just about everything Jesus bought for us at Calvary. In some cases, it seems like death is what it takes to receive peace, healing, or understanding. And, of course, "when we die, we will see Jesus."
Two hundred years ago, the Plymouth brethren came up with a brilliant idea through a so-called prophecy that has given us this whole "kick the can down the road" mentality. The theories and speculations of the end times are endless as they wander through the Bible, looking for reasons to wait, wait some more, and some more.
However, the scriptures clearly give us action words such as "go into all the world and preach the gospel." These are commands of participation in a plan that God has to capture the world and bring it into the heart of Christ.
When the Scriptures give us the command "to occupy" until Christ comes, it is not a sit-down and wait for word; it's an action word. When a conquering army comes into a nation during a war, they occupy it. And because they do, they have the authority to bring it back to its purpose as a nation by restructuring all the things that have been destroyed.
As sons of God who have been sent from his heart to this earth, we have been commissioned to bring this world back to its rightful place. Under the submission to God, we are returning to the original plan that he reestablish through Jesus Christ.
You have all the tools today; you need to do what God placed you on this earth for. So let's get off the "rapture bus" bench (that may not happen by Thursday) and go to the work we have been called to. We are reconciling men and women back to the father.

IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP OR LOSE YOUR PLACE IN THE LINE
In my background, a person who would not speak up for themselves would be called a "mealy mouth." I'm not sure if that's a real word, but everyone knew what it meant. From the kid on the playground to the fearful housewife, their life became a living hell because they didn't speak up.
Our current culture has a term that says, "see something, say something." I think that pretty well frames the thought God dropped in my heart to speak of today. It's time for us to cry out to the Lord and the society around us.
During the years that Hitler's Germany prepared for the second world war was a slow erosion of social norms and private liberties. A Pastor named Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who eventually gave his life in resistance against the Nazi party and Hitler's oppression, made this statement famous.
Speaking for the church, he said, "when they came for the Jews, we said nothing; when they came for the gypsies, we said nothing. Then when they came for us, there was no one to help."
We have lived in a bubble of self-denial that it could ever happen to us. But today, we face the same challenges by the voices that have risen around us demanding that we say what they want us to say and agree with what they believe in.
A law in the Old Testament said if a woman was raped and did not cry out, she became guilty of the same sin. I can only imagine why they wouldn't cry out; the fear of retribution or shame, all those things would be at play.
Today they are calling us names, trying to intimidate and bring shame.
We still have a voice that goes directly to the Father; it's time for us to cry out.
We still have the ability to speak up; when we see something to say something.
I guarantee that cowards will always back up and run if you resist them.

THOUGHTS BETRAY SOURCE; SPIRIT LIFE ATTRACTS SPIRIT THOUGHTS
Take a look around you for a moment. Everything you see close at hand and far away started in somebody's thoughts. From the simplest toy your child may play with to the most complicated technology of our day, someone had a thought.
The jails are filled with men and women because they had thoughts that lead them into crimes. And so it is with our spiritual leaders in all their positions of leadership, and they are there because they had a "God" thought.
The scriptures tell us there are some things we should not waste our thoughts on, such as the provisions our heavenly father promised us. He has already promised them, so don't be frustrated thinking about a plan to get them. Matthew 6:25, then, on the other hand, there are thoughts that we need to take hold of and cast down. We are to bring every thought under Christ to the obedience of his word. ( Second Corinthians 10:5)
You and I are to meditate upon the word day and night. That sounds like an impossibility. Yet Paul told us to pray continually. How is that possible? It's possible because not all our thoughts and prayers come out of our conscious awareness but rather out of our spirit, man.
Remember that our father has made us a spirit just like himself and has given us a soul and body to dwell in. The thoughts that bring life come out of our spirit, not our head or mind. I'm convinced that is where idle words come from out of the empty minds of men when we meditate upon God's word and fellowship him in the spirit that is direct food for the spirit man.
Put a guard on your mind and watch your words change. When your words change, the direction of your life will be altered, and you will see the fulfillment of God's purposes in your life.

WHY PROGRESSIVE REVELATION?
Did you know that no scriptures in the Old Testament describe that the promised Messiah would die and rise from the dead? Oh, I know plenty of New Testament writers reflect on scriptures adding their revelation to them. But the Old Testament saints did not know that.
WHY?
Because God used a mixture of missed direction and progressive revelation to bring about total victory at the right time, do you see where first Corinthians 2:6 Paul tells us that if the rulers of this world, both natural and spiritual, had known this, they never would have killed the son of God?
So we see that God hides certain things until the season is right to reveal them.
Look at Luke 24:44. Jesus joined his disciples after the resurrection and opened their understanding of his death and resurrection. As Israelites, they were not taught this, so they have no revelation as yet.
Because the scriptures tell us that it is line upon line, here a little and there a little, that is how revelation comes, and when it does, we must be careful and sensitive to be obedient to what we have received.
The scripture says if you are obedient, you will eat the good of the land. And if you're disobedient, you will dwell in a dry country. The continuing unfolding of the mysteries of God that we call revelation has everything to do with our obedience to what we know now.
The word of God tells us that if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we will have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Christ will cleanse our sins.
So join me today as we rejoice in what we know. Revel in your knowledge and understanding in Jesus Christ because it is your foundation for unveiling tomorrow's mysteries.

THE REALITY OF LIVING AS A SPIRIT BEING
If there is a phrase that captures the American society and that of the political west is the phrase "living life in the fast lane." Most of us have learned to hit the ground running when we wake in the morning, and we keep that pace until we fall into bed at night. Even those of us who have met Christ and know that we are different people have a difficult time losing the culture we live in.
So when the preacher tells us we are new creatures in Christ, often we say yeah, that sounds good, but I've got to pay for the bills and send the kids to College. So our nose is still at the grindstone, and we have little time to think about who we really are in Christ Jesus.
So let me state clearly as I prepare for this video.
You're not human anymore. I know that's a shock; let's face it, you've been born again by the spirit of God. Think it through for a moment; what does that mean to you?
You and I are new creatures in Christ Jesus, and that new creature is a spirit being sent from God. We have a soul and live in a body. That body and soul are our tickets as a spirit been to function on this earth and do the will of the father.
The term sons of God is not just a catchy phrase we put on a banner; it is the reality of what God has performed in us as people.
So after the smoke settles from the realization of this truth, ask God for revelation on who you are and what your purpose is in life.
Don't worry; you still have to pay the rent, raise the kids, and love your wife or husband; that part doesn't change. But you do all of that out of a different source. A Heavenly one.
