poetry for your soul

I had saved this long ago on Pinterest, just because I liked it.  I didn't really realize who wrote it.  But through out some more research I found that the E. H stood for Erin Hanson.
 
I was all the rage about Erin Hanson the beginning of the year when I found out she was so young when she started publishing her poetry. I love her poetry.  It speaks to me.  She also encourages me to share my own.

So here is to another blessing that the Lord gave us.  All glory belongs to the father for his creations and the gifts that they share with us.

This is the post that I wrote on her at the beginning of the year about this poet

This is a post that I did on how to prioritize your purpose so that you can grow to share your gift with others. 
http://artteacher4purpose.com/2017/03/23/6-steps-to-prioritize-your-purpose/

You were made to share your talents.  You were made to fulfill your purpose.  It is time to let go to what ever you are holding on to in order to make room for your purpose.  Don't let the little things hold you back.  There is a path to your greatness, you just have to find it.

All Glory belongs to the father in heaven for his love for us.  I am so glad that he wants us to succeed!

If God is for you, who can be against you!

Your Vision Matters

King David Said:

 

The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein 

-Psalms 24:1

 

I just want to give a brief synopsis of why King David was a man after God's own heart . . . it was because David understood what it meant to live a surrendered life, according to God's purpose and God's vision.  He understood that this whole thing was a spiritual walk.  David just had a correct understanding of how God worked!

I just love the way God works. . . I love him.  He is just so awesome.

I have a feeling that society would ask, "How could you possibly know anything about who God is or how he works?"

 To which I would reply: "Well, I talk to him everyday and I listen attentively because he knows everything."

I would also explain that I don't know everything that he is planning, or why he does things the way that he does, or why he reveals the things that he reveals, but I know it all turns out amazingly. I love him because he is awesome.

The message that I am supposed to share is that you are all apart of his plan.  I know this because he told me.  The enemy tries to fool the whole world and tries to make man think that he is an accident.  Scientist try to convince us that we have evolved from monkeys. Also there is another claim that we came from nothing. New findings proclaim that we are star dust . . . these are all lies.

How can something come from nothing?

The world wants to make you laugh!  We come from God, of course!! Believe it or not!

We are special and specifically created with a pre-written design (DNA).  We have a creator.  The creator is our designer (GOD).  We are spiritual beings, who have been presented with a body, made from the earth.  We have been filled with the breath of God that has given us a life to live.  We therefore are a spirit, in-cased in a soul, in-cased in a body.  Our spirit is from God, our soul is our life (mind, will, emotions), and our body is our flesh that comes from the dark earth (Adam).

When David says:  "Unto thee, oh Lord, do I lift up my soul." he is saying "Unto thee, oh Lord, I give my life" or "Unto thee, oh Lord to I give my mind, my will, and my emotions."  Hence, David is a perfect example of living a surrendered life.

I encourage you to give your life to God, and live a surrendered life like David.

After God designed us, he created a math equation to place us on a time line.  We are born at the time that he needs us to be born in order to complete our purpose.  It is like the most complicated math problem that we don't have the mind capacity to comprehend . . but it all turns out amazingly!

Man is not an accident!

The fact that your father makes over 4 trillion sperm and your mother about 100,000 eggs in her life time then also calculating the chances that the right sperm match up to the correct egg at the right time is 1 in 400 quadrillian.

That is 1 in 400,000,000,000,000,000

In layman's terms, you are a miracle!

 

The reason why you are a miracle is because the world has no way else to explain it.  However, if you know the Lord you know that he designed it that way.  Everything belongs to God.  Everything that he made was for a purpose.  Why?  Because God doesn't make accidents or mistakes.  God's ways are miracle ways.  This is how he works.  He works in miracles!

God's nature is to create and to create for a purpose.

The very reason why you were born is to do  or complete something that the Lord needs you to do in order to bring his kingdom to come. This is the truth, rather you believe it or not.

God loves each and everyone of his creations.  Everything and everyone belongs to him. The earth is his and everything in it.  The world and everyone that dwells in it belongs to him.

So even if you are a "non-believer" God loves you.  If you are a non-believer- you are still a spiritual being.  If you are a non-believer you still have a purpose.  If you are a non believer then you are just being tricked by the deceiver.  I pray that you change your mind about who you are.  I pray that you change your mind about who God is and about who Jesus is.

Jesus is God's spirit in a human body.

Understand that God had to get a human body in order to operate legally here on earth.

Therefore Jesus is God and God is Jesus

But that is another study . . .

  The main thing I want to convey is that this whole life is a spiritual thing.  God has a purpose and a plan for you.  God's plan is going to happen if you believe it or not.  Hence, hold on to the vision that God has for you.  Trust in it and follow after it.  God gave you those desires and he wishes to fulfill them.

I have been enjoying this book that I'm reading called "Visioneering" by Andy Stanley.  I will share some of it from the bible application called Youversion.  This app has a selection of these wonderful devotionals that you can read for your personal growth.  Check it out when you can . . .

From "Visioneering"

Devotional

“It’s All Spiritual”

As I mentioned back on Day 1, any God-ordained vision will have its roots in God’s overarching vision for this world. Yet some people think their vision has no such spiritual significance

For example, somebody might say, “I’m not hoping to start a church or ministry or anything like that. I’m trying to get a business off the ground. What does that have to do with ‘God’s overarching vision for the world’?”

If you have a similar question in mind, think about this for a moment: God does not compartmentalize our lives.

From God’s perspective, there are no spiritual versus nonspiritual components of your life. He makes no distinction. There is no secular division of your life. You are a spiritual being. Therefore, everything you are involved in has spiritual overtones. He sees you holistically.
The Christians in the city of Corinth believed there was a division between the soul and the body. They thought they could sin with their bodies and it would have no impact on their souls. Paul pointed out that no such division existed. He told them that they were to glorify God with their bodies.

When Christ purchased you at Calvary, he purchased all of you: body, soul, and spirit. There is no division. You are to glorify God through your actions, regardless of where they take place and what role you are in at the time. You are to glorify God as a spouse, parent, friend, employee, boss, and citizen. What you do at the office, then, is no more or less spiritual than what you do at church or at home.

Consequently, there is a spiritual element to your vision regardless of which category of life it emanates from. There are no secular pursuits. Your vision does not exist apart from your responsibility to glorify God. The challenge is to discover the link.

Spend some time pondering this question: How can my heavenly Father be glorified through my vision?

We as Christians need to get this right . . . We really ought to be talking to God everyday and asking him to release the vision and reveal the purpose he has for our lives. 

 

Hint:  Your purpose is not to work a job until you retire or die!

 

This Life is meant for more!!

 

 The enemy is trying to hide this truth from you . . . Why? . . . because when you fulfill the purpose that God has for you, you are destroying the devil's plan. 

 

Hint #2:  Your purpose is about spreading the word of God to all people.

Your job is just to find out how . . . ask God . . .

Live Life on Purpose!

Motivation for Monday- odds of you being alive

The world may see you as a miracle and they would be correct.

We label miracle's as miracle's because we don't understand and can't explain how they happen.

However, when we are communicating with God, then we understand that God had designed it that way because he is the creator and he only creates on Purpose!

 

God created you on Purpose!!!

Live your Life on Purpose!

Happy Monday

A Prayer Poem for Righteous Men

A Prayer Poem for a Righteous Man

 

I pray for a man who has dedicated his life

for the man who gives no quarrel

no envy, no strife

A man of good nature

a good family, and strong line

A man who is righteous 

and proves it throughout his time

I pray for this man who does not intend to do wrong

But continues to ask forgiveness

whose morals are strong

I pray for this man who obeys the Lord's law

who works not to compromise

no matter how big the challenge

no matter how small

No, this man does not do everything right

but he knows that he doesn't

so he offers his life

and so he lives surrendered

May the Lord touch his mind

Because great men like this

come one of a kind

So I pray for this man, and others who lead

Who have vision and have purpose

May the Lord intercede

protect and stand guard

and make strong and make well

May the Lord continue to guide you

in his truth you do tell

May the Lord give you courage

and a strong mind

because great men like you

come one of a kind

Brene Brown: Gratitude

. . .Enter into his gates with Thanksgiving and Into his Courts with Praise

Be Thankful unto Him and bless his name.  

For the Lord is good and his mercy is everlasting

and his truth endureth to all generations!

Psalms 100

Live Life on Purpose!

The Currency of Gratitude

From my book:

Keep a Gratitude Journal

Here is why . . .

Being grateful is one way we can protect ourselves from falling into the trap of thinking more highly of ourselves.  Everyday, take notice of the things that God has blessed you with.  Recognize that he is the provider of everything good in your life.  It is God that is most high and worthy to be praised for his creations.  Thank God for his goodness.  This will open your awareness of how little you had to do with anything.  Show God appreciation and he will bless you by expanding your capacity to understand more.

Transition in Thinking: I am successful and I work hard to have everything that I have.  My way of thinking is good and I never offend anyone.   The truth is:  You do a lot of things wrong and you don’t even realize it.  God wants to take away all of your misconceptions about the world around you.  He wants to get you back to a pure state of mind.  He wants you to have a teachable mind like a child.  He needs you to have a trusting mind, like a child. Bible Study: Much of the time when we think we are a good person, successful, and so called “blessed” we can take on an attitude of superiority.  Therefore we offend people all the time but we just don’t see it.  Instead we have to take on an attitude of gratitude, which will then allow us spiritual insight. Enter into his gates with Thanksgiving and into his courts with praise Be thankful unto him and bless his name Psalms 100:4 Gratitude is a Currency A currency is something that you have, then you give it away in exchange for something you want to have.  If you know it or not, we want and need to have spiritual insight.  Giving God continual thanks allows for your eyes to be open.  Giving God continual thanks allows your trust in him to grow.  It allows you to believe everything that he says because he is the father.  Your belief becomes unfailing, you are humbled and trusting God for your every need.  This is faith.  This is a childlike faith. Verses: At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18: 1-6 Lesson to learn: When we have an active practice of showing our gratitude to God, we are showing him that we understand that he is the provider for all of our blessings.  We had nothing to do with our own well being.  When we give the sacrifice of thanksgiving and praise we are allowing our spiritual sight to open up to the blessings that surround us already. Give your gratitude to the Lord.  He will open up your eyes to God ideas.  You will be able to see what you want and the pathways of how to get there.  When you understand God’s nature, you will understand that he will not allow you to out bless him! God wishes to teach us humility through having the attitude of gratitude.

This world tries to rob us of our thanksgiving, our praise, our faith, our blind obedience.  To the world, these are things that seem foolish.  Therefore, we are trained not to do these things.  We have become a very self-reliant society and therefore a very selfish and adulterous nation.  It is no mystery why we think we have so little to give the Lord.  We are very confused in what he is asking from us.  God understands that it is a sacrifice to give what you feel you don’t have.

It is a sacrifice for us to give.  It is a challenge for us to give.

It is a challenge to give your first because you have been trained to take care of self first.  Remember when I told you that this was a spiritual thing.  This whole living life is about being prepared for God’s government;  the way that God does things is better than anything we can conjure up on our own.  God wants you to understand the currency of his government.

Your sacrifice is currency.  What you see as a challenge to give, God exchanges it as a faith payment.  A key factor to understand this is that, you’re not really “paying,”  you are simply exchanging what you have in the natural for your inheritance in the spiritual.  Your faith brings your spiritual inheritance into your current world.  You can’t see it yet, but it is there!

I thank God for Jerry Savelle’s message on “Expectancy.”  I used to have wrong thinking that prosperity type preaching was just a hoax.  Now I know that God has allowed them the insight to apply this principle to life.  This is not for fake.  This is real.  This is happening.  I pray that God opens up your heart to this understanding.

Faith is expectant of something that it can’t see!

When you are a believer, you are apart of God’s kingdom government.  You follow the laws because you are a citizen.  You do not have to follow the laws to get in, but you follow them to keep everyone safe.  For example, you follow the traffic law so that you don’t get into accidents.  It is because you are a citizen of the country and the state that you have the privilege to hold a license.  So, in order to keep our license to drive, we do what the law says to do.  If we happen to run a red light and hurt somebody, we may go to jail.

“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.”

Revelation 12:10

God is the King of his government.  He is also the judge.  The enemy’s kingdom continues to present case after case after case to accuse you of breaking God’s law.  God’s mercy allows you not to be cast in the pits of hell at this time.  He continues to give us chance after chance.  This doesn’t mean that we continue to have all of our rights back.  We are cast into our own mind prisons and we lose our licenses to do the will of God.  Here is the good news- We don’t have to be in bondage anymore!  We have a counselor that will speak on our behalf.  He is ready to free us when we allow ourselves to be saved.  We are saved when we change our mind about defending ourselves.  Jesus Christ is our lawyer in the great court of the Heavenly Kingdom.

What can you do?

#1 Give your life to God

#2 Learn God’s word

#3 Practice keeping God’s word

 

It is really not a hard thing to do.  I want to give you a few more examples of sacrifice that may help you understand why Christians do what they do, say what they say, and live how they live. There is the sacrifice of

Thanksgiving

Praise

Obedience

First fruits

 

These things can be used for a faith exchange for your inheritance in the spiritual kingdom.  This also brings up the conversation about tithing.  Tithing is a spiritual practice.  You must understand that it is a sacrifice for you, but God doesn’t need your money.  Instead, it is the exchange of your faith, that you trust and believe that God is going to do everything he said he would do in his word.  You must trust his words as a child would trust his mom and dad to provide his needs.  God wants to teach you his way.  God’s way is the better way.

Until next time

Motivation for Monday: God's Business

You want to be successful . . . get your information from the source . . . Get your information from God.

I will be studying Ecclesiastes this week

God does want us to be successful, but our labor is not to be rich . . . Our labor is to please God; to bring about his vision and his purpose . . . anything else is vanity and vexation of the spirit.

God's Vision

#1 To save his people from themselves
#2 To teach his people how to do this
#3 To spread his vision and government to everyone
#4 To establish his original idea of his Kingdom

The next step to his vision is to teach his followers about good business practices. . . This will take time but we will get the hang of it. Check out the article I just wrote on what God wants us to know about business . . .

Much Business

With that said I just want to encourage you to keep your head up and keep pressing towards the mark.  Keep living this life because it is worth living.  Keep doing what God tells you to do, and if he is telling you to start a business, don't wait, don't hesitate, start your plan to achieve that vision TODAY!!

I wanted to share some quotes about business and success that will encourage you in this.  

You may also like my Pinterests finds under the title:

These quotes will be added soon.  Stay encouraged!

Much Business . . .what to expect next in this world

Message to Myself. . .

You have to stop waiting for a cosigner and own this!

I was again set around a group of people who weren't really 100 % feeling what I was saying about life . . .  I have this feeling that I am still looking for my people.  I am looking for my group . . . I am looking for my tribe!

That is what I have found out they call your niche group on line, your tribe . . . I am looking and maybe you are looking too.  I just have a feeling that God is revealing the same thing to them as they are to me . . . what is that thing that he keeps telling me to do . . . God tells me to learn about

BUSINESS

So this is what happened. . . I was at prayer.  We always have a good time talking about the Lord,  studying and having conversation after.  Then someone asked what are some of the signs that we are seeing now that tells us what is going to happen next. . . No one really said anything.  So, I spoke up and went into my spiel:

The signs for our people are now in a time of transition.  Learn the parable of the fig tree . . . before the next season comes you will see the signs that we are leaving one season and entering into the next.  We have just entered the end of the end times . . .

Transitions are harder on those who don't know how to handle change.

God's people do not have to worry about what troubles the world.  We do not deal with things the same way the world deals with them.  The world cannot handle the emotions they feel.  They cannot identify their feelings.  They don't know where to put them our how they will carry the burdens they hold inside.  The world is kicking, screaming and throwing chairs because they cannot handle the transition.

What do we see:  A drastic increase of suicide, hate crimes, and over all selfish acts
Why:  Because of the internal conflict of not being fulfilled

and feeling a lack of purpose
Worlds solution: medicate, ignore, and suppress
God's solution: Cast the burden on him


So, what exactly happens next?

For believers it means we are being prepared for the next season.

Next, I explained what the parable of the wheat and the tares meant . .

The wheat is being separated from the tares.  This means that those who God has chosen to be part of the Kingdom will start to wake up, while the sons of the evil one will continue to not believe in Jesus.  The separation is happening  When you see this happening you see that the angels are getting ready for the harvest season.  It is almost time for the wheat to be harvested and placed in the kingdom mindset.  It is happening now.  It is happening slowly but when the season is in full swing, you will see more and more people opening up their minds to business.

The business mindset will prepare you for the Kingdom mindset.

Why?

The business mindset will teach you about discipline, about routines, about systems, about leadership and hierarchy for the sake of purpose and vision.  The business mindset will teach you about team work, organization, management, and focus.  The business mindset will teach you operations, cooperation, communication, and creativity.  The business mindset will teach you process, investment, planning, and commitment. Overall the business mindset will teach you about providing a service.

Every member of your team is important.  Every member of a team holds value.  Every member holds a hidden potential to achieve something great.

My friends we are many members of one body.

Translation:

We are all workers, and apart of one team to achieve the business of our father in heaven.  We each have our job to do, that we possess the talent for, the vision for, and the resources for.  We can see things other's cant see.  We know things others don't know.  We created things others can't create for the mission, the vision, and the purpose of God. 

We are all apart of a bigger plan, a bigger purpose, and a bigger service then you can even begin to imagine.  Ears have not heard nor eyes have seen what the Lord has in store for us. 

We as believers are being trained to work and serve in the Kingdom of heaven.  God is teaching us step by step what we need to be and what we need to become in order to achieve his ultimate purpose.  He has established this culture in heaven and now he wants to establish it on earth.  He will be the king in his human form to rule his Kingdom.  We have to be prepared to enter when he comes.  We must have the right mindset.

For further understanding and application of this idea there are some more you have to study and understand:

#1 The deity of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ

#2 The different laws of this realm and the spiritual realm

#3 How the enemy tried to use our own authority against us

#4  The enemy has a business: his own kingdom, his own purpose, and his own vision

*Also, this is why it is so important to understand that Jesus is God.  We must know and understand the deity of our Lord and savior.  He is divine and he saved us from our own destruction.  He gave us authority over this land, then we lost the authority.  The enemy tried to use that authority against us but he always operates illegally: against the laws of this realm.  He couldn't use the authority without tricking us to think out of God's purpose.  God took the authority back. Now God wants to restore our minds.  

God will not go against his own law, because he is a just (fair, true) king and will do everything that he says.  Hence, when he said "let us make man in our own image and give him dominion . . ."  That is exactly what he meant.  That is why when "we" (our selves that were in Adam) messed up, God had to make a new Adam- our old selves are not apart of this Adam.  Hence, we must be born again from this Adam. . .

God told me to stop here . . .

Message to Myself:

For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

Ecclesiastes 5:3

Translation:  Be careful of the vows that you make out of your mouth.  Mean what you say and say what you mean.  It would be wise to only say what God tells you to say, or you might be making promises that you can't keep- that is against the law.  This is what the sons of the enemy does.

There is a lot to learn and I don't want to confuse you.  I don't want this to be mind boggling because it is all so very simple . . . This is why I am looking for my tribe.  But in the meantime, God told me to own this.  This is what he wants his people to know.  He wants to teach you and prepare you for what is coming next.

One more thing:  Church people who say "I'm going to be gone in the rapture when the tribulation comes,"  I pray that you study that teaching and look up where it comes from.  God is telling me we need to be careful of the 'escape clause.'  We might be setting ourselves up in a trap.  But that is another study.

How do I know that this is real?  How do I know what I'm saying is true?

God is taking me on my own journey.  He is teaching me a lot and showing me a lot.  I no longer believe in coincidences but instead confirmation.  God is constantly confirming in me that his word is true.  He taught me that this is his word, his message, and he will share it with whomever he chooses to share it with.

I am no longer looking for a co-signer on this message.  God owns it.  Because I am an inheritor of his kingdom, I own it also.

So, if you are thinking about business, or starting a business, God is preparing you.  If you find yourself managing better, serving more, making commitments, and learning how to keep those commitments, God is preparing you.

Pray that he leads you in the direction of your purpose.  Pray that he teaches you good business.

Until Next Time

Thank God for his nature!  He gives certain ones great insight on specific subjects.  Kathryn has an insight and understanding of prayer that I think you should take advantage of.  Her book pray deep is now on my to read list.

https://www.kathrynshirey.com/

I just wanted to link you up with it real quick as I prepare myself for my time with God.  I love setting a day aside, not only to talk God, but having that opportunity to spend quite time with him.  The more time you spend with him, the more he will teach you how to pray.  He will teach you the importance of your words.  And he will guide you in exactly what to say.  This is my prayer today, right now, to encourage those who need prayer and desire to know how to pray.

Remember that your words are powerful, so use them wisely.

God Bless You

Lord heavenly Father that is in Heaven

High and lifted up you are

There is no one above you and no one beside you

This is why we praise your name because we know that you are holy

We know that you are just

For then we will have good success

And Lord because of this also we continue to believe

Our faith continues to grow as you continue to give us the resources we need to grow

And so father we pray for those you have sent to us

We pray for their strength in the Lord

We pray that no weapon that the enemy forms against them will prosper

For this is a promise in your word

We believe in your promises forever and ever

Forever and ever you reign

We continue to pray for covering for our leaders

covering for those who have compromised and have fallen out of the will of God

Oh my Father and heaven because you are so just and mighty and all powerful

I know you can do these things

I know that you can equip us with that warfare of prayer

Tell me now Lord what else I should say for my prayer to be even more powerful

Lord guide my words even as I write, but also as I talk

Let them be as powerful as a two edged sword, cutting through the lies of the enemy

Open up eyes so they may see

Open up ears so that they may hear

Open up hearts so that they may be changed

In order to receive the goodness and the mercy of the Lord

Break the delusion of man and help him understand the purpose and power of prayer

Wake us up and help guide us to our purpose

Break the curses that hold us back so that the Kingdom can be seen and realized

For it will be realized

It is in your word that we ought to change our mind to prepare for the Kingdom

help us develop the mind of Christ

I pray that people become prepared

I pray that minds become prepared

I pray that our leaders become prepared

I pray that your disciples become prepared

help us to fight against the powers of darkness, against the principalities that are set against us, against the rulers that are in high places that set laws against us for their personal gain.

We rebuke their works and bind their words, and send them to the place you have prepared for them

We rebuke them in the name of your Son with the power of the Holy Spirit

We love you and we serve you and we can do nothing with out you, so we continue to pray for your power, your wisdom, your gifts, your mercy, your grace

And we enter your courts with praise because you deliver everytime

You are King

you declare and decree

Bless your name oh holy God

Hear the prayers of the righteous

Hear the prayers of those who want to serve you

Hear our prayers swiftly

Hear our prayers with the sincerity of our hearts

Thank you for saving us through grace by faith

Thank you for this gift

And thank you for the gift of prayer

 

Glory to you forever

Amen

Working Towards the Kingdom

Working towards your purpose and working on your purpose.

Friends, I have written this before . . . we have a long way to go.  Yes, there are steps in finding your purpose.  We should know that this is a journey and that this is a process.  We don't always make the right choices and our path may not always seem clear.  I am learning that there are steps to take to help us follow Christ in the right direction.

It is easy to say "read your bible," but not everyone knows where to start.  

This is why I think God is moving so many people to be bold in him.  This is a season of time where people are starting to share the true message of Christ, which is not  just repentance.  Repentance is just the first step.  Now it is our responsibility to keep moving forward.  It is the responsibility for the more seasoned saints to help guide the beginners,  and the lost.   It is time for those who have been Christians, understanding God's word, to help others touch, feel, and see the promises of God.

Repentance is just the beginning!

Repentance is basically changing your mind and changing your previous way of thinking.  Why do we have to do this?  God wants us to become teachable; allowing the holy spirit to sow good seed into our spirit.  In other words, our mind set and our perspective needs to change so that we can see things the way God sees things. (Hence, we must take on the mind of Christ).

God has so many things to teach us so that we can be successful in this life.  When I say "successful,"  I don't mean by worldly standards.  I mean by God's standards.  God does want us to be happy.  This is why he gave us the word of God. If we follow the word of God, we will be successful and happy.

I believe that we all have a job to do:  We are many members in one body.  I believe that we all have a specific service to provide to help others in this walk.  It is our reasonable service to allow God to use us the way he chooses.  Therefore we need to be teachable.  This is the second step.  The third step is to share what God has taught you.

It is our duty to be teachable.  It is our duty to share the truth with others.

I just wanted to share this this morning because I feel that we get caught up in the repent message and we are not sharing the other part which is:

Prepare yourself for the Kingdom of Heaven!

Inorder to do that we have to let God teach us the following . . .

God wants to teach us mind set

God wants to teach us his voice

God wants to teach us love

God wants to teach us humility

God wants to teach us patience

God wants to teach us process

God wants to teach us relationship

God wants to teach us kingdom

God wants to teach us mindset

God wants to teach us obedience

God wants to teach us kingdom culture and law

God wants to teach us how to be happy

God wants to teach us how to live on purpose

God wants to teach us how to fight

God wants to teach us how to live

God wants to teach us how to wake up

God wants to teach us how to work
God wants to teach us service
God wants to teach us Good Business

If you can think of anything else that God wants to teach us, please add it in the comments below.  

Is there a lesson that God has taught you that you think is important to share with others?  Please leave a comment.

Thanks.  I hope this is helpful in your journey to find your purpose. 

Keep working towards your purpose and working on your purpose.

Until next Time

How to Bible study for Women

So, this blogger sounds like me . . .got to check her out . . .Courtney Joseph

Womenlivingwell.org

Women desire to live well. However, living well in this modern world is a challenge. The pace of life, along with the new front porch of social media, has changed the landscape of our lives. Women have been told for far too long that being on the go and accumulating more things will make their lives full. As a result, we grasp for the wrong things in life and come up empty.

God created us to walk with him; to know him and to be loved by him. He is our living well and when we drink from the water he continually provides, it will change us. Our marriages, our parenting, and our homemaking will be transformed.

Mommy-blogger Courtney Joseph is a cheerful realist. She tackles the challenge of holding onto vintage values in a modern world, starting with the keys to protecting our walk with God. No subject is off-limits as she moves on to marriage, parenting, and household management.

Rooted in the Bible, her practical approach includes tons of tips that are perfect for busy moms, including:  

• Simple Solutions for Studying God’s Word
• How to Handle Marriage, Parenting, and Homemaking in a Digital Age
• 10 Steps to Completing Your Husband
• Dealing With Disappointed Expectations in Motherhood
• Creating Routines that Bring Rest
• Pursuing the Discipline and Diligence of the Proverbs 31 Woman

There is nothing more important than fostering your faith, building your marriage, training your children, and creating a haven for your family. Women Living Well is a clear and personal guide to making the most of these precious responsibilities.

I especially want to share this because I had someone say that they want to start getting more into their bible.  They want to know how to study and get closer to God.  Well, Courtney is the one to get you started.  She teaches you how to study and how to track your progress.  One of the most helpful takeaways that I got from her site was a free down load of her bible reading plan.  Now I can track my progress every time I read through my bible!

 

I'm sure if you decide to follow her she will give you more helpful hints.  Let me know how everything works out . . .

I checked her out on Youtube.  She is a woman of God and I suggest this for women who want to live well.  God bless you.

 

-Until next time 

 

 

Is there another bible teacher that you know that will help people on their bible study journey?  If you know someone or a group that we can find on the web, let us know. . .

I'm so happy that we can live life on purpose together!
