Love you all, praying for you,
I just love patterns. Steps in sequence. Patterns will position you and patterns will promote you. Some people say they don’t like patterns, they fancy themselves the creative type. But creatives still have patterns, they just don’t think of them that way. Even an artist painting a canvas, follows patterns, from mixing the paint to the stroke of the brush, they just use those patterns to create diverse results. Patterns bring success. If you love knowledge you will love discipline, and if you love discipline you will love patterns. The rich have patterns, so do the poor. The wicked have patterns, as do the sluggard. Everyone has patterns, and the patterns you choose, will promote you or prevent you. Patterns come either by choice or by nonchoice, but everyone as a pattern – for most things. You brush your teeth with a pattern, you make a meal with a pattern – a sequence of steps. A Super Bowl team has a pattern, a quarterback, an offensive lineman (get off the line first, get your palms under their pads), defensive lineman, (that swim move)… a running back. A ball player has a pattern. So do teachers and doctors and investors. A sequence of steps or actions in the right order that produce results. The action is important as well as the sequence. What you do, how you do it (with all your heart) and when you do it. Farmers plant then water, if they water before they plant the seed, they are just making mud – not growing anything. Jesus had patterns, and He has patterns for you. Praying that your #1 Pattern is to know his plans so you can do his will. If you love me you will obey what I command. Praying that PiVAT is your number one pattern. Praying that PRISM is that pattern that keeps you coming back to His Word – so you know His character, His truth, His instruction His Promise, and His great love for you. Praying that 4C’s is your pattern – so you can obey with money – and guard your heart – you will love God or money. Praying that a Daily Call is your pattern, so you obey Hebrews 3:13 – so you get sharpened like iron, so you overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of your testimony. Praying that you will pray without ceasing. Because the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much. (The consistent, God directed, passionate requests of those in right relationship with God – make a difference – a big difference!) You can partner with God – to change the world. Praying that you will review the PRISM Topic Packet – The Prayer Packet. Prayer lasts forever, God doesn’t forget. And the prayers He tells you to pray – are the ones that are effective. So you don’t pray amiss. When I was little I learned a little pattern of prayer. JOY – Jesus, Others, You. Another one was ACTS – Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. God had me tweak it a little bit. TPCS, TP like an Indian Tee Pee, and CS like Customer Service. Random, but memorable. Why tweak it? TP is Thanksgiving and Praise – God said enter my gates with Thanksgiving and my courts with Praise. Both are a sacrifice, so you come in with an offering. Then Confession and Supplication. Confession – keep short accounts with God. Search my heart O God, know my secret thoughts, see if there be any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. And then Supplication – bring your requests before God. That’s not selfish. He loves to hear your requests. And if you ask Him what to pray and how to pray – He will enable you to pray for what is on His heart, what He is about to do, so your requests can add to His will – which He will surely bring to pass. Praying that you will know the patterns that God has for you – so you redeem the time, become more like him, and produce fruit in your life – fruit that will last. Show me a man skilled in his labor, he will stand before kings, he will not stand before mere men. The patterns God gives, give you skill in natural and spiritual things. Praying that you will keep short accounts with God – that you will be in the center of His will, that no unclean thing will separate you from Him, that you will know and do his assignment for you today – in this hour. That you will pray His will, that you will follow his plan – so He can fulfill the purpose He has for you. Love you all, dad
