Love you all, praying for you,
First, what is an obeyer? One who hears and obeys the voice of God, who walks in His plans for their good! Why would you want to be one? Because all of God’s promises and all of His good, are for those who obey. And most important of all - because that’s what Jesus did. To be a follower of Christ – you have to live like He did. He was the ultimate obeyer. In fact, that’s all He did – as an example for us, so you can fulfill your purpose, like He fulfilled His. So what are the Eleven Habits of Obeyers? #1) They write it down. #2) They Obey with Time – They know the vital importance of obedience, and they know that life is time. And to obey Christ – you must obey with time. They know that obedience is a joy, not a job, it’s a blessing not a burden. Not an end-result, but an entry door to God's blessing, and the life more abundantly that He promised. The essence of life is time. You live God’s way, or your own way... your thoughts, ideas, and ambitions, or His thoughts, ideas and revelations - His plans to fulfill your purpose. Many don't realize, whoever decides the time, is the LORD of your life. Your way – how you live, who you are, how you operate, the way you roll is revealed in time. The first thing Jesus requested of His very first followers, was time. And they left their nets and followed him. It's what they surrendered first. Their plans for the day were completely replaced by His plans for them. To follow, you have to trust, and if you trust, you will follow, and when your time is His, your life is His. Then He can redeem your thoughts, and your money, and your testimony, and your destiny. God’s plans for you are good not evil, and they are specific, not just general. He has plans for you this week, this month, and this year, and He has plans for you for you today, even this hour. Praying that you would leave your nets today and follow Him. If you didn’t do PIVAT before dinner last night, you didn’t get a chance to pray with your spouse before you went to sleep about what He just told you. You missed the part of the blessing of getting His counsel and confirmation in the night season, and you missed the confirmation He had for you during your PRISM this morning, re-enforcing what He told you in PiVAT last night. But if that happened, it’s still OK. Just ask Him right now. He'll tell you His plans for you for today. What you need most from Him today, the number one thing He wants you to do, the specific time, and write down the testimony of what He does as you just obey. Don’t let the motions lessen the message. Just be present with Him in these four questions. If you will take the time, and it doesn't take long... He will absolutely speak in your spirit, and reveal to your mind. Every time you do PiVAT before dinner, and check in throughout the day, you are humbling yourself, you are making him your refuge - first - before anything else. You are learning to hear His voice, and you will see Him confirm that He spoke to you. There is nothing better than hearing God speak, doing what He tells you, and seeing the result of that simple obedience. It brings joy at a new level. Nothing is too small for Him, the little things He tells you are as important as the big things. And it’s through the little things that He prepares you for the big ones. Praying that you will review the principles of PiVAT – if you haven't in a while - sometimes its just good to be reminded. Praying that God will lead you to invite someone to a 3-Day Challenge. Two is better than one! You have no idea what God could do – for those who will just leave their nets, and follow him. Nothing wrong with nets, everyone has a job, or school – but it’s the asking that brings the answer, it’s the seeking that brings the finding, it’s the following that brings the favor, it’s the obedience that brings the overcoming, and it’s the hearing that brings the healing. Praying that your PiVAT before dinner and throughout the day – has you walking in the center of his will, and in the middle of His presence, immersed in His love for you. That’s not a crutch, it's what makes you effective, not fruitless, not sidetracked, but successful. It’s where your relationship with Him grows – cause it’s not just you talking, It’s Him directing and you obeying, and walking in the blessing. It's where the do’s and don’t's become a non-factor, because the do this’s are leading you to a new destination, and a new understanding, you just know that you know. It's how you grow! Love you all, dad
