CAUGHT UP IN HEAVENLY RAPTURES
Revelation is what you know; mysteries are where you grow. This statement sounds very spiritual, but actually, it's the way of life. Everything that you knew and experienced at one time was a mystery.
You stood in front of the schoolyard gate holding your mother's hand; your head was filled with the mystery of kindergarten. However, with your mother's prompting, you step through the gate, and the mysteries become revelations days later.
Through every stage of life, you've experienced that same process of mysteries turned into revelations that you lived and enjoyed. As a teenager, as a young father, as a pastor, every door I stepped through; behind was filled with mysteries.
Perhaps the greatest mystery in the Christian world is that of prayer. Jesus took a whack at it with his disciples in Luke 11:1 when they asked Lord to teach us to pray.
These disciples had watched him perform spiritual miracles, receive supernatural answers, and wondered how it worked. They knew the way they were praying wasn't getting the same results, so they asked him for his secret.
So he gave them what we call the lords' prayer. It was supposed to be called the disciples' prayer.
Much of the church has missed the secrets and the depth of that prayer that Jesus gave us and has turned it into a method or a system of prayer.
If you explore those scriptures again and listen to what Jesus is speaking about prayer, the Holy Spirit will open the secrets of going into the chamber and having face-to-face time with the father.
Note the opening statement:
Our father who art in heaven hallowed is thy name.
Take a clue, my friends; that's where prayer starts in the presence of the father because that is the only place you'll get the answer from.

RE-PURPOSING THE LOG IN YOUR EYE THAT YOU MAY SEE
It's summertime in our part of the world, and the little lemonade stands are popping up in my neighborhood. Most vendors or small children want to make a few coins to put in their piggy bank or spend on Candy.
This is happening this summer because somewhere in our distant past, someone came up with the slogan "turn your lemons into lemonade."
Some distant relative of yours perhaps had a tree in their backyard full of yellow fruit they couldn't eat because it was so sour.
They were ready to cut it down when someone had a bright idea.
Why don't we squeeze that fruit into a cup and add sugar to it? And bammo, lemonade was invented.
The moment that we forget God made us on purpose just like we are, is when the gift He gave becomes a hindrance instead of a blessing.
Take, for instance, the fast-talking brilliant Aleck nephew that irritates everyone at the Christmas party. What are we going to do with him, everyone says? No one wants him around because his mouth never stops.
Before everyone cuts him off their Christmas list, grandma has a God idea.
She sends a note to the family and reminds them of God's gifting and that he made your nephew on purpose just the way he is. She says I just sent your nephew a word from the Lord and told him God gave him his talent to use his quick wit and abundance of words to be a lawyer or a preacher.
If the gift that we have is not functioning in its proper place, it will become a log in our eye that blinds us to help our neighbor remove the slight imperfection in his eye.
Release the Holy Spirit to help you re-purpose and reposition the gift in you so that you may see clearly and fulfill the purposes of God in your life.

HEY MOM, I CAN SEE TOMORROW FROM HERE.
Simply stated, without a target, you'll never hit a bull's eye. This brings me to the subject of spiritual sight into the days ahead of you.
Those who are leaders in the body of Christ have spent a significant amount of their focus on establishing a vision for the people. The scriptures tell us that people will be confused and lose their purpose without a vision.
It takes us right back to Moses and the children of Israel when they came to the Red Sea. Because they could not see past their present problem, they began to murmur and complain and wanted to go back to Egypt; back to bondage.
Paul was dealing with the same issue in Galatians when he challenged the saints who wanted to go back to circumcision and fulfill the law again. Somehow they lost their way because of the lack of understanding of why Christ came.
When people lose sight of their tomorrow's and the purpose God has put them on this earth for, they become confused and discouraged and live their way.
Jesus could endure the cross and despise the shame because he saw the final result; you and me as sons and daughters of God.
If, for some reason, you cannot see your tomorrow as positive and full of God's purpose, let me give you some suggestions on how to recover your eyesight.
Let Jesus spit in your eyes.
After all, he did that when he was healing the blind man, which worked pretty well. But how can you do that today and have him heal your eyesight?
If you begin face-to-face conversations with Jesus in prayer and meditation, you will find that his face will be so close to yours that the life in his voice will wash your eyes and give you sight.
The Scriptures refer to it as the "washing of the water by the word of God."
Tomorrow will come for us, and we can be prepared for it by allowing the Lord to open our eyes so that we may see the glory of God in every day that he is giving to us.

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD IS YOU
Here's a question to ponder while introducing you to our subject for today. Where is the line of demarcation between truth and heresy? Or, let me put it another way. How far can we go into a revelation of scripture until we get too extreme to believe?
Well, obviously, I've asked questions that really have no answer. And I suppose I ask them just to point out that there is no end when it comes to gospel revelation?
So I return to my opening comment; the light of the world is you.
If you were raised in the Sunday School I was in, you would say the light of the world is Jesus, and then we would sing our song and go to class.
Yes, I know I may be splitting hairs, but I want to draw your attention to who you are in Christ and that your roots are in the father.
Jesus said as long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. ( John 9:5)
However, in Matthew 15:4, Jesus said you are the light of the world.
Somewhere in these two scriptural verses is a revelation that needs to be discovered in that you and I indeed are the light of the world.
Of course, it should go without saying that we are nothing and can do nothing without him. Actually, that's not even the subject because we are not without him. After all, he said he would never leave us or forsake us. As a matter of fact, god the father, son, and holy spirit chose to dwell in us.
Now with that settled.
Grab hold of this truth.
You are the light of this world, so let it shine.

BORN FOR THE STORM
Some years ago, while having a family vacation on the coast of Oregon, I stood watching the Coast Guard train for rough weather. The purpose of the training was to prepare the young recruits for rescue in times of storms. The small craft they were on went into the most turbulent part of the channel, where the greatest danger was repeatedly practicing their skills preparing for the storm.
My family and I stood on dry ground on a sunny day, enjoying our vacation. But out on the water was a crew of men preparing to rescue someone who was in the storm and needed their help.
Among the many attributes of our heavenly father is what he perhaps does best, that is preparation ahead of time. The most significant evidence is that Jesus was sacrificed before the world was even formed. Long before you and I had any storms in our lives, Christ had already made a way for us to go through them to Victory.
Before we even knew there was a devil, he had already been defeated at the cross and the resurrection.
Before sickness had ever invaded our home, it had already been dealt with by the stripes upon Christ's back.
When our heavenly father declared in the first verses of the Bible that we would be made in his image, we had guaranteed inheritance.
Jesus declared that in this life, you would have trouble and persecution, then he added to be aware that I am with you and will never leave you. That was our guarantee that we were born for the storm.
Storms come and go in our lives, but because we are created in his image and have the power and blessing of the cross and resurrection, there is no storm that can take us out.
We are not storm chasers; we are storm overcomers.
When the scriptures declare that we are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us, you can bank on it.

SLEEP ON IT- YOU'LL FEEL BETTER IN THE MORNING
My mother's wisdom continues to follow me to this day. How often did I hear those words? Son, go to bed and sleep on it; you'll feel better in the morning. I suppose in those days; I related that suggestion more to the natural healing of the body than I did to spiritual encounters. But as I matured in the Lord, I realized that her instructions for me to go to bed were an invitation for God to speak to me and give me his wisdom in the decisions I had to make.
There is a term in the King James Bible called "visions of the night," which most of us would relate to as dreams. In these visions of the night, according to genesis 46:2, Israel had his instructions from the father that directed his life and established the Jewish family.
The book of Job 4:13 and 33:15 reveals that mysteries are unfolded to those that go into the deep sleep of the night where they are given instructions from the angel of the Lord.
Paul the apostle, in acts 16:19 and 18:9, was directed by the Lord for his next assignment in a vision of the night.
These are biblical examples of what it means to sleep on it so that the heavenly father can speak to your spirit without interference or argument from the mind.
It's somewhat like God putting Adam to sleep when he created Eve so that Adam wouldn't interfere with the plan God had in mind. If Adam had been awake, eve might have looked much different.
So it is with you and me as God leads and teaches us. When we lay our head on the pillow at night, our body and soul rest, but our spirit is wide awake and listening for the father's voice.
In those night visions, great things are accomplished, and history is shaped and changed.
So I encourage you to find a pillow and a quiet corner, take a break from the routine and sleep on it.

THE NEVER NEVER LAND SYNDROME
The classic story of Peter Pan, the lost boys, and Never-Neverland is a reflection of people you and I know; that never want to grow up and face the challenge and responsibility of adulthood.
In never never land, there were no clocks to remind them of the passing of time; there was no responsibility of going to work and paying the bills; it was the perfect setting for boys in their adolescence.
However, notice the subtle message that came through Captain Hook and the crocodile. The principle of pressure from the trouble that comes our way forces us to grow up and face real life. The lost boys had to learn how to defend themselves and organize around a leader that would champion their cause.
In real life and our spiritual life, far too many live in never-never land; the Bible calls it Babyland.
You see them in all sizes and shapes and ages coming and going out of our churches with not a spiritual care on Earth because they have put all responsibility on some spiritual leader in their life.
No worries, they say I'll send my request to the prayer tower in Tulsa.
Oh, I don't have to know the word of God. I'll just go and sit on Sunday morning and listen to the pastor; after all, he has time to study.
Never never land, folks.
Then here comes old Captain Hook and the crocodile reminding us that if we don't grow up and learn how to defend and conquer, we will not accomplish the purposes of God in our life. God doesn't have to invent trouble; it comes on its own. However, like any good martial arts expert, God uses the momentum of the trouble to strengthen your muscle and teach you how to fight.
Take your spiritual position in your home, your church, and your world, and make a difference. God put you in that position to change the course of history.
Like they say in our Northwest country, a dead salmon can float down the river; it takes a live one to swim up.

LET'S TALK GOD TALK
One of the first things I had to learn when traveling Internationally was to pick up and understand the idioms of the people I was speaking to. I love to inject humor into my speaking; it relaxes people and lets them know you're a natural person. One of our great charismatic speakers, Bob Mumford, said, "if you can get people smiling, then when you hit them in the mouth, you won't split their lip." Of course, that was a symbolic statement, hopefully.
I discovered that the illustrations I love to use in America didn't fit in most other nations because of our background and how we understand life and relate to it. How do you tell a baseball story or an illustration of riding in your automobile in the middle of Africa where the villager you are in has never seen either one?
So it is when we enter the Kingdom of God and the world of the spirit. Some may call it Bible talk; I called it God talk. If you've paid attention to your history in America, much of our language comes from the Bible, especially our laws. Over the years, pop culture has affected us to where most people don't use biblical terms or words anymore.
However, if you're going to venture into the world of the spirit, you need to pick up the language of the spirit. Unfortunately, there is no manual for God talk; you must cultivate a face-to-face relationship with him to learn his language.
Why is that?
We are like snowflakes; we are individually shaped and have communication skills that God has placed in us because our DNA has its language.
When you tune in to the father by fellowship and meditation, you will find that your language will match his language, and you will have a harmony of sight, sound, and love that will set your life on a course of perfect destiny.
Let's learn the language of heaven and talk to her father continually.

SORROW FOR JOY: BEST TRADE EVER
I don't remember much of what I learned in the fifth grade, but I do remember Mr. Haley, soccer, baseball cards, and marbles.
Mr. Haley was a slight man with a balding head and a strange personality.
Soccer was conducted on the playfield after lunch every day.
Baseball cards were carried in my hip pocket to be used for serious trading.
And marbles, well, marbles were always available for a quick game when we could find some dirt and someone to play with.
I did a lot of trading that year; my favorite baseball card for one I wanted from someone else. If we wanted it bad enough, we would trade two or three cards for one. Whatever it took to make the deal when we had to have that special card.
Well, those days are long gone; most of those cars are lost or buried in my stuff somewhere.
When I first opened my heart and life to Jesus, I had no idea what he had traded so that I could have the joy of salvation. I knew the preacher said that what I got was free and all I had to do was receive it, not realizing the price Jesus paid for my freedom.
It was the trade of the ages far beyond anything we can comprehend or appreciate except through the power of the Holy Spirit. And the only way we can continue to release any appreciation is by continually praising his name and loving his presence.
I traded my sorrows for joy, my sins for salvation, and my death for life, all because of the work that Jesus accomplished on the cross and resurrection.

THE VOICE OF GOD WITHIN YOU.
In my journeys with the body of Christ, I have discovered that fear of deception overwhelms a significant portion of them. They believe that the power of deception is far greater than the power of revelatory truth.
Because of this fear, the development of the kingdom of God has been dwarfed, and the maturity that God intended for us to be has been hindered.
It has not been unusual to hear someone tell Pastor I never heard that before; how could that be true my mother never believed that way.
Somehow the church and the revelation of scripture have been frozen in time. The theologians and teachers at our seminaries and our puppets are still quoting concordance, written 500 years ago. As if God spoke one time and then has been silent since.
We have been identified so long as "sinners saved by grace" that when someone calls us a saint, we reject it as a fallacy.
If we expect to advance into the image of Christ, we must change our conversation or identity and our voice. Second Corinthians 520 tells us that the voice of God is within us. We have been commissioned to call the world back to the father and to announce their redemption from sin.
Remember this as you prepare for your future success.
Your body is the temple of God; that's where he lives.
Sin no longer has dominion over you; it has been dealt with at the cross.
You now live in eternal life; you will never die. ( your body may lay down someday)
You are now ruling and reigning with Christ in heavenly places seated at the father's right hand.
Too many theologians are like our modern politicians, constantly kicking the can down the road. Everything God did for us on the cross and resurrection continues to be put off to some fairytale land in some distant time beyond our imagination. In the never-never land of rapture and heavenly bliss.
What do you think the scripture means, "now is the day of salvation?"
Salvation is more than just explaining the time you receive Jesus; it is everything that was given to you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We don't wait for death or the second coming of Christ to be forgiven for sins, do we? Of course not? Why should we expect death to be the key that gives us everything Christ did for us at the cross and resurrection?
It's time for the body of Christ to release the voice of God that we have within and declare the whole council of his divine plan, and that is, he came to free the entire world from sin.
That's the message of righteousness.
