Your Identity as Sons of God by Kris Vallotton

2/24/2016

0 Comments

 

In this video, Kris Vallotton shares about our true identity as Sons of God.  Kris expertly lays out the Scriptural case for why this is true, then shares, "The devil knows who you are, and God knows who you are... creation knows who you are, it's only YOU who don't know who the heck you are.  What's the point? You rock, you just don't know it.  The reason why you do miracles is because your Daddy is God.  When you act like God, you are being yourself.  You were born to torment the tormentor.  You can always tell the size of a man by the size of the problem it takes to discourage him. You rock, and you didn't even do it to you"

Understanding your identity as a Son of God, as provided via the provision of Jesus Christ, is an important spiritual truth to grasp as you seek to discover, unlock and live your Godly destiny.

One Thing That Changes Everything by Jim Buchan

Jim Buchan, Senior Staff Writer at Inspiration Ministries, shared this article on Linkedin.  He pens, "What if I told you there’s ONE simple step you can take that would change EVERYTHING else in your life? I know, you probably would think I’m either crazy or getting ready to launch an infomercial.

But stay with me for a few minutes…

For many years, I’ve known that just about everything we need to know about God, people, or life can be gleaned from the first few chapters of Genesis. But I’ve recently come across a life-changing principle I had previously overlooked there.

Before I share this incredible principle from Genesis, let me point out an indisputable fact of life: Whatever you focus on will grow.

With this principle as a backdrop, we can see that it’s no accident God placed the Tree of Life in the very MIDDLE of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:9). This tree foreshadowed Jesus Himself, the life-giving one. To study this further, go to the Gospel of John and look at the numerous “life” references about Jesus: water of life, bread of life, resurrection and the life, etc.

And notice this: No matter how many interests and responsibilities you may have, there can be only one MIDDLE in your life. Everything else must take its place in relationship to that inner core of your being. And while Adam and Eve’s focus was on the tree God had placed on center stage, everything else was wonderful in their paradise.
As many Bible teachers have noted, when the serpent entered the picture in Genesis 3, he immediately called into question God’s love and truthfulness. But I had never noticed something else the serpent did: He succeeded in shifting Eve’s focus!

We see this in Genesis 3:3, when Eve tells the serpent, “God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

Do you see how profound this shift is? Eve is now focusing on an entirely different tree in the MIDDLE of her world—the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

It seems from Genesis 2:9 that this second tree was very near the Tree of Life, so Eve wasn’t totally wrong in her statement. Yet the consequences of her shifted focus were catastrophic, not just for her and Adam, but ultimately for the entire human race.

Why does it matter which “tree” we focus on? Entire books have been written on this, but here’s the answer in a nutshell: The Tree of Life represents dependence on the Lord as our source, while the other tree represents reliance on our own senses to navigate life and determine right and wrong (e.g., see Proverbs 3:5-8).


So let’s get practical…

Draw Your Future - Take Control of Your Life by Patti Dobrowolski

2/1/2016

0 Comments

 

Proverbs 29:18 states, "When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful." (NLT)  From this Scripture we learn that prophetic vision helps us see the narrow path to our Godly purpose.

With that idea in mind, please kindly consider this Tedx Talk.  In it Patti Dobrowolski teaches us how to move from our current state to our desired state.  By using the power of the brain to visualize and understand pathways, any person can visualize their ultimate purpose, believe it, and act on it.


In fact, with steady focused attention, it is possible to use this technique to create an entire road map for walking out your Godly destiny. ​
