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!

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.
