Love you all, praying for you,
Last night I was on the road to an evening appointment. And I just felt unsettled. Have you ever felt that way? Frustrated. Not exasperated, but just feeling off. Waiting on some things to be finished so I could then take the next step on them, but feeling I really could have done a better job in some other areas while waiting… and my mind was unsettled - and I was allowing it to affect my spirit. It was bothering me. And it was affecting my drive time. And God spoke in my spirit. "Praise the Word." It grabbed my attention. It was almost like the dog whisperer – that tv show where Cesar Milan uses those techniques to snap the dog out of it’s current state to another. And Praise God – I instantly obeyed. And that instant choice – completely lifted that unsettling off of me – almost like a cloud lifted. I reached for my Bible – and instantly asked God what chapter? And The Holy Spirit said Psalms Chapter 1. Of course – no better place to start than the beginning. Blessed is the man! And then God put in my heart what blessed is. Peace – Contentment – Prosperity – Abundance. That’s what He does – He blesses. Blessed – Every good thing you could ever imagine – and even more than that! That’s what blessed is. Peace – a complete settling of heart mind and soul. An assurance of God’s Good, and God’s working, and God’s favor - the exact opposite of unsettled. Contentment – not complacent – content. Being OK with where you are – mistakes and all – fully trusting that God is working in you, and working it out. You're ok with where you're at - but knowing that you won't stay there - God will lead you out, lead you on, lead you forward, lead you to better. Prosperity – not just more money to spend on your own pleasures – true prosperity – that you live in - whether you have extra money right now or not. And Abundance – the absolute fullness of good – in every area of life - the life that God gives. Every good thing you could ever imagine – and more. That’s blessed. That’s what God does. And as I’m Praising the Word – the former feeling instantly dissipated – completely gone. And God began to remind me of the purpose of Praise the Word – He takes you not only from the former state to a new one. But He has a purpose – something to accomplish in the Spirit and in your spirit - even within this specific Praise the Word time – that He’s called you to. He inhabits the praise of His people – so the Holy Spirit always takes over your Praise the Word. It starts with you – your choice – opening your mouth – even if you don’t feel like it – and He takes it from there. Blessed is the man who… God blesses you because He loves you, but He blesses those who… Every time I praise the Word – the Holy Spirit takes over – because God said He does… And then revelation starts to come – because every time the Holy Spirit speaks, including through your praise – your eyes are opened to the truth of His Word. The Holy Spirit always points to the Word – which is Jesus – and that word will always change you – for the better. Who walks not in the counsel of the wicked. I was challenged by whose counsel I walk by. Whose words do you follow? What you believe and therefore speak. And the most prevalent counsel of the wicked is in the area of money - the single greatest indicator of the heart. So thankful for God’s Truth and God’s Word - The more you Praise the Word – you’re really praising God. Jesus is just the human form of God’s Word (the Word in a human body) the more you grow to love His Word – the more it becomes how you think, and what you do. Blessed is the man who. When you’re the who – blessing will always come. God gives it – He brings it. Praying that you will come back to PRISM all day long - that nothing will unsettle you. But that you will be settled in Him – that His Word can dwell in you richly. So all of the true riches He has – He can pour out on you. Praying that the Holy Spirit will always alter your state when things try to come on you – not from Him. That you would Praise the Word – when He leads. That you would Pray the Word when He leads, so you can do the Word that He leads – so He can lead you in His Good! Love you all, dad
