Love you all, praying for you,
Have you ever thought of this question? If you could do one thing well, what would it be? Someone once said – if you want to be successful (they meant wealthy), find something to do, do it well, and then do it over and over again. That was the Henry Ford principle. If wealth is your goal – get used to disappointment. God said whoever loves money, never has money enough. He said you can’t love God and money… But if you could do one thing well, what would it be? There is really only one answer to this question - above any other.... Obey. If you could do one thing well in life – learn to obey! and then do it over and over again. Why? Three clear reasons. #1) That’s what Jesus did. If there was one thing that Jesus did, and did well – it was obey. He said He did nothing other than what His Heavenly Father wanted him to do. He humbled himself, and became obedient, even to death on a cross (Philippians 4:8). That's why God exalted Him to the highest place, and gave Him the Name above every name. #2) That's what David did. That's why God called him - 'a man after my own heart.' - He will do everything I want him to do. (Acts 13:22). And #3) To fulfill the purpose you were created for - the wonderful plans that He has for you, for your life - to prosper you, not to harm you - to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11) You have to obey! Or you won’t know what they are, so how could you walk in them? Love is obey. Jesus said clearly – if you love me you will obey what I command. He said His commands are not burdensome. He said his yoke is easy and His burden is light. He has grace just waiting for you when you obey! Unmerited Favor and Divine Power! So how do you get really good at obeying? Understand your life is time, thoughts, and money. Understand testimony is how you overcome. Have you done PiVAT for the Week? Getting His plans for you for this week? And which of those plans – He has assigned you for today? If you obey this week, you’ll obey this month, if you obey this month, you can obey this year, and if you obey this year, you will next year too. It's the only way you’ll obey for life – and walk in the wonderful plans He has for you. If you haven’t done PiVAT Weekly yet, just do it now. It doesn’t matter if the week has already started, is half-way through, or there’s only one or two days left. Do PiVAT Weekly! Just Ask Him – He will tell you His plans for you. He longs for you to obey – so He can bring you to the Good he has stored up for you. Have you don’t PiVAT before dinner for today? If not, just do it now. Why is PiVAT before dinner the most important habit of your life? It’s the habit of seeking Him for His plans for you. It's the habit that will most help you obey. He promised the Holy Spirit would tell you things to come. If you ask Him for His plans for you for tomorrow, not only will He tell you, but it will remind you what He told you to do for the rest of the day! So you can be sure to do it completely. It will have you recount what He has already done today, what He did and what He revealed! It may bring you back to PRISM one more time before going to bed – where He can reveal His Heart, His love for you – and the How To – of what He told you to do. It will help you recount the testimony – that you will overcome with on your Daily Call in the morning. And if you don’t have a Daily Call right now. Just find someone to give a testimony to. Why not overcome right now? (Revelations 12:11) And ask God who He wants you to invite to a Three-Day Challenge. Praying for you – that the One Thing you get really good at – above everything else. That you get really, really good at obeying. That's where the joy is! There’s a joy that come with it – like no other. It’s how you walk in the amazing life that He has waiting for you. It’s how He fulfills His purpose in you - you do what He says. And what He has for you - is Good! Love you all, dad
