Steeped in the Word

6 – The Flesh of Man

7 – The Spirit of God

When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! Matthew 6:7-8 NLT

Greater Yet\n

There is an arrogant, cerebral bunch who believe God is confined to their understanding of scripture. Not only is God not limited to our understanding of the scriptures, but He is not limited to scripture at all!\n

The scriptures even say that Jesus did all kinds of things not recorded in the Bible. The very last verse of arguably the greatest Gospel, John, says this:\u00a0And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.\u00a0Amen. \u2013 John 21:25\n

In other words, God reserves the right to do tons of things not written down, recorded, or mapped out! The Bible declares that there are some things God speaks which He doesn\u2019t allow to be written. They are for the hearer only.\n

And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from\u00a0heaven saying, \u201cSeal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.\u201d\u00a0Revelation 10:4\n

I would never advocate any form of departure from the Bible, so if I\u2019m pegging your cringe meter, dial it down. I\u2019m just saying you have permission to experience God in a personal, powerful way that is way beyond our limited understanding of scripture.\n

When the woman with the issue of blood crawled to touch the hem of Jesus\u2019 garment, or when the knuckleheads tore apart a roof to lower their paralyzed friend down to Jesus for healing, they were not acting within the confines of what was written. Their actions and their faith were off the map!\n

They discovered a part of God\u2019s heart no one else had before. Today is a good day to go off the map. Go after Jesus in a new way and be amazed when He shows up like you never imagined.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Greater Yet

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

The presence of God is my greatest desire. Each day, I reach out to God and make myself available to Him. I hear Him in many ways and in new, exciting adventures. I don’t want to miss a thing the Lord has for me, so I do not keep God in a box.
