THE DYNAMIC DUO- YOUR WILL AND FAITH
Among the many myths and misconceptions of God that rumble around in the church is the idea that God does all the work, and we sit back and watch. Because of that false understanding of our relationship with God and our part in the outcome of events, we suffered many evils that we shouldn't have.
The teachings we have received concerning our faith life these past years are a fantastic revelation of our ability to believe in God. However, the Scriptures teach us that a hidden trigger makes faith work; it's called our self-will.
It seems apparent in the Scriptures that even though God has presented us with food and other necessities of life, we must be willing to receive and use them. It is said of our heavenly father that he is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth.
Yet when we look around us, we see that has not happened. Why? Because even though God has offered us eternal and divine life, we must be willing to receive it.
And John 5:40, Jesus spoke to the elders and Pharisees when he said; but you are not willing to come to me that you might have life.
Just think about the tragedy of that statement. You and I know people just like that. If we could make them willing, they could have eternal life at the taking.
When Jesus said that if you are my disciples, you are to take up your cross and follow me, it necessitated self-will. When he speaks to us in that same statement, we must be willing to obey and pick up our cross and follow.
Remember what Isaiah 1:19 tells us; if we are willing and obedient, we shall eat the good of the land.

PRIVATE TIMES WITH THE FATHER -PRAYER
Imagine, with me for a moment, you go to your mailbox on Monday morning and open a letter from your favorite superstar. It could be football, Hollywood, politics, or the author of the latest runaway novel. The letter addresses you by name and says they will be in town next Thursday and have set aside private time to be with you.
With that same imagination, what would your response be now that you have that favorite superstar in your mind? Of course, by now, you can see what I am trying to illustrate by this imaginary picture.
Knowing human nature as I do, I can't fathom that you would turn them down or make an excuse concerning this private meeting. "oh, I'm sorry, I have a hair appointment on Thursday." "Sorry about Thursday. I have to meet with the boys at the hot rod club."
Now listen to a bona fide invitation from the creator of the universe inviting you to a private meeting so you can interact with him about your life. Isaiah 1:18 says, "come now let us reason together saith the lord."
This invitation to meet with the God of creation, our heavenly father, is referred to as prayer in the Scriptures. We have been invited to a partnership with our father in the affairs of this earth, and we do it through the system of prayer. This precious privilege that we have to spend time in the father's presence was made possible by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and released to us by the power of the Resurrection.
The modern church does not understand prayer and its purpose; if they did, it would be the most attended service of the week. In most churches, if you call a prayer meeting, you know who will come in advance. Most generally, a faithful core of saints who have learned how precious and vital prayer is.
Prayer has never been a numbers game throughout the history of our interaction with God. There have been many cases in the Scriptures where one praying saint changed the situation to victory.
Will you be that one praying saint in your family or church that will change your situation to victory? Scriptures call this "standing in the gap."

SECRETS I LEARNED IN THE PIGPEN
"Only one life will soon be passed only was done for Christ will last." Wow, where have I heard that before? Like every day of my life. It must have been my mother's favorite quotation. So then, how long did it take me to understand the meaning of that phrase? How about last Thursday?
Well, you catch my point about the slow learning curve we have in life. I've decided that this life we live is one long lesson. And with each lesson we pass, we understand our father's purpose for us in a greater way.
The story that Jesus told us in Luke 15 of the two sons in conflict with their father is a mini snapshot of our life journey in understanding who we are in the kingdom of God.
The story is focused on the prodigal son who left home and ended up in the worst possible condition a Jewish boy could find himself in. Feeding the pigs of a gentile Farmer.
Buried in the story of this boy's redemption are two secret keys you and I can use daily when we need to move forward in our purpose.
The number one key to his turnaround was when he confessed his actions and the target that he was aiming for. "I will get up and go to my father."
In that confession, he set his life's course and ultimate redemption.
The second key is equally essential when he preconditions himself to realign with the father and the father's purpose for him.
"I will say, father, I have sinned. (missed the mark)
Of all the lessons he learned while in the pig pen, these two confessions changed his life and brought him home.

I GOT EXPOSED TO GOD-NOW. I'M CONTAGIOUS
The fear of contagious diseases has overwhelmed the population for several years. Because of the many voices that have shouted at us from all sides, we have been forced to separate, hibernate and shield ourselves like fearful orphans on a cold winter's night. The message was clear if we got too close to the wrong thing, we would go straight to the hospital.
If, by a miracle of the Holy Spirit, I could motivate and inspire the body of Christ to freely expose themselves to the glory of God, the infection process of that glory would spread like wildfire.
A song we sing in the church tells us to "taste and see that the Lord is good." Believe me; it doesn't take much of a taste to be addicted to the things of God for a lifetime. One exposure to a healing miracle will shake you to the core and change your view of his grace and power.
Or perhaps a divine rescue from a deadly accident that spared your life will impress you to the point of passion for him. All it takes is a personal visitation into his presence, and you will come out contagious, filled with the virus of heaven.
Everywhere you go, you will unconsciously spread peace, joy, healing, and forgiveness to those you encounter. It happens because you have been exposed to the glory of God through the presence of Jesus Christ. And when you have a genuine and vibrant connection with Christ, you cannot help but carry the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead.
So my friends, take away the veil, unlock your door, open up your windows and let the son of righteousness come into your life.

SEEDS ARE US-THE MINISTRY OF SEED PLANTING
My grandpa and grandma Erickson homesteaded 600 acres of farmland in Montana around 1900. The stories that I remember them telling us about those days are both thrilling and agonizing. The labor and uncertainty of life that they endured to make a farm life possible is beyond our comprehension. Our society today cannot grasp the amount of effort that it took to build our nation and its people.
Around 1925 my grandparents were forced to sell their farm and move south, ending up in California. They were forced out of their farm life because of the power of early cold winters killing the seed before it could be brought to harvest.
As kingdom people serving our Lord, you and I are also seed planters and tillers of the soil. And by the miracle of God living in us, we are also planted seeds in the ground.
Because his grand plan orchestrates our life, we have been selected to be planted in fields of his choosing; until we realize that "the steps of a good person are ordered of the lord," we can become frustrated by the place or the condition that we are in at the moment. Some of that is geographical. "Why are we in this city, Lord? While another frustration is our spiritual growth and wondering why it is so slow.
Both of these frustrating and confusing questions can be settled by realizing we are seeds in the hand of God, planted at his discretion. Be careful not to judge each day of your journey as the end of your journey. If you sit on the edge of your bed every night wondering if you were a success today, you will go to bed discouraged most nights.
However, if you understand the seasons of your life and what it takes to mature the seed that you are, you will enjoy the journey.
Remember our heroes of Hebrews 11 that most of them died before realizing the completion of their ministry. But they died in faith knowing that we would complete their journey and their purpose in our journey.

GOD SAID, I WILL LOVE YOU TILL IT HURTS
The story is told of a young man in love with a young woman, and he sends her a note to express his love for her.
"My dearest Beth,
Today I pledge my love to you forever. And I will prove to you how I love you. I will climb the highest mountain. I will swim in the deep sea. I will fight the wild beast of Africa. And cross the desert on my knees.
And, by the way, if it's not raining, I'll be over Saturday night."
That sounds a little suspicious to me; all smoke and no fire.
When God committed his love to us and said, I'll love you till it hurts he fulfilled that promise at the Cross. Scripture tells us that Jesus looked at the Cross and all its pain and sorrow and saw the Joy on the other side of it. He suffered and died for us because he knew our redemption was much more valuable than his momentary pain.
And he did this all for you and me so that we might be brought back to the father as sons and daughters. God paid the price with his pain so that we might enjoy and live in freedom, peace, and eternal life.
Yes, there is pain in life, but it's not redemptive pain because we are already redeemed. The pain we may suffer is because we stand up for righteousness in the midst of a crooked generation.
That's why we will hear these words from our Lord, "well done, my good and faithful servant, enter into the joys that I have prepared for you."
So cinch in your armor belts, my friends; as they say, there are great days ahead.

SOME BATTLES ARE JUST FOR PRACTICE
Have you ever got tired of asking God why? Why did this happen, or why did that happen? Every once in a while, we would hear something to help ease our anxiety, and then we went on with life. However, the next time a battle came into view, we always wondered why.
I have an answer for you, which you may not have thought of before.
Some battles are just for practice.
Where do you think the old wrinkled face slightly bent over saints get all their wisdom and faith from? They've been through their share of battles as they've collected all this wisdom.
I have a friend; when he introduces me to people, he tells them I've been around the block a few times. That's a gentle way of saying I am "mature in the years." The truth is I've seen my share of battles also.
When the children of Israel were set free from 400 years of bondage by God's sovereign miracles, they left Egypt and took with them treasures that may have equaled or surpassed the value of any other nation in the world.
Yet, with all that wealth, they had no fighting skills.
So what did God do to prepare them for battle? e lined up small battles along the way.
Scriptures tell us that he led them away from the armies of the enemy that could have crushed them to more minor battles where they could practice their skills.
It was only when they were ready did they face the big boys. By that time, they were organized and practiced the art of war. They had learned faith in their God and skill with the sword, and no enemy could stand against them.
So the next time you ask the Lord why am I going through this trial or this battle I am in. You may hear him say back to you.
"IT'S JUST PRACTICE, MY PRECIOUS."

SHORT OF VISION? CLIMB THE NEAREST TREE
There is a lot of talk about Vision in the church world around the first of the year. What we mean by Vision is the ability to see down the road, as they say, and try to describe our destination. If you're behind the wheel of a speeding automobile, Vision is essential to getting to your intended target. A sudden fog bank will affect your journey because you will have lost your Vision.
If you happen to be journeying through the countryside and want to know what is ahead, you must find some high ground to see better.
We could say the higher you go, the farther you can see.
Take, for instance, the story of Zacchaeus. The scriptures tell us he was a short man trying to see Jesus as he passed. What did he do? He went higher, found the nearest tree, and climbed it. From that extended height, he could see Jesus; but most importantly, Jesus could see him. Something about going higher in the things that God loves, including his presence, gets his attention. You know, at the end of the story with Zacchaeus, he enjoyed lunch with Jesus.
We could say that Vision is a revelation of Jesus Christ and his plans for us in our future. To get this revelation, we must go higher into his presence and listen to his wisdom and direction for our lives.
Unfortunately, we seem content with having someone do it for us, then tell us what they saw and heard. That's what happens on most Sunday morning church services where hopefully, the speaker has gone to the mountain and listened to God. Then like, Moses, who was on the mountain, comes down and tells the congregation what God has in mind.
How unfortunate for the Israelites because they were all invited up the mountain to hear from God. But when they got close to the mountain, they became afraid, and they sent Moses up in their place.
Don't you think it's time for you to find the nearest tree or a mountain( or a prayer closet) and go higher and hear his voice for yourself?
I do.

BETWEEN HOPE AND DESPAIR, THERE IS JESUS
As I journeyed through the world I live in today; I heard many voices coming from all sides. Included in the conversations I heard were people that were concerned about the future of their lives and their families. As I listened, I deserved the voices of those who had hope for the future and those who had despair.
Despair is an ugly master that sits on top of your head and shoves your face in the darkness around you. There's plenty of despair going around today concerning the future of our nation and the danger to our health.
Because of this, suicide has become an epidemic among our young people, the very ones that should have hope for their future. Someone or something is poisoning their well.
On the other side, I hear those who have hope; unfortunately, their hope is in man's ability to solve their problems. They seem to be looking toward a person or a group of people to save them from future disasters. False hope is the dirtiest of tricks that you can pull on someone. Because while they feel euphoric, everything will be fine, it's worsening.
There is only one sure thing you can put your hope in, and that is the covenant promise God made to us through Jesus Christ. Hope in Jesus will never be disappointed and always produce what you've hoped for.
Paul didn't refer to it as hope; he called it knowing. He was so assured that the promises of God would not fail him that he declared this statement that lives in our spirits and gives us courage.
"I know in whom I have believed in and persuaded that he can keep that which I have committed under him against that day." ( 2 Tim 1:12)
Folks keep your eyes on Jesus and the power of the resurrection son of God, who is able to do for you beyond your imagination.

GREED MAKES A DANGEROUS MISTRESS
When Jesus said the love of money is the root of all evil, that pretty well describes how much of the world functions. Proverbs 15:27 tells us, "he that is greedy of gain troubles his own house." Indeed, greed makes a dangerous Mistress.
However, the spirit of greed is not limited to money; it can affect many other life functions. Greed can be described as never having enough of whatever you're looking at or desiring. It can affect the way you eat or the way you work. One more pork chop or just a few more hours of work can be orchestrated by greed.
Of course, we know that food is essential; it's necessary for life. And work is a part of who we are, accomplishing those things we love to do.
What does that mean when the scriptures tell us that greed troubles my house?
After years of a father giving his entire time to work, neglecting his children and his marriage, you may hear him say; well, I did it all for you. By now, his wife may be gone, and his children have been neglected to the point of brokenness because he had to work one more hour.
Some people blame the desire for more coming from poverty, never having enough as a child. I'm sure that could have something to do with it, but the enemy of our soul will use anything convenient to manipulate our life.
This is where the healing of the soul through Jesus Christ is critical. Greed cannot be your master if you have confidence in his supply and his plan for your life. Nothing can drive us into despair or ruin when our heart is healed, and our faith is restored because of our knowledge of his love for us.
Greed does make a dangerous Mistress, but Jesus Christ is the master of all things.
