7 – The Spirit of God

16 – The Love of God

You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Matthew 7:16 NLT

Deeper Love, Higher Level of Blessings\n

If you want to see a great move of God and favor in your life, ministry, family, or job, there is something you need to understand. It\u2019s not enough to want those things or to work at them when you have the time or resources. You cannot move to the next level or truly bless others until you are consistent.\u00a0\n

That means you show up every day. You bring the right attitude. You do what needs to be done and strategically plan for more of whatever it is you\u2019re after.\u00a0\n

Years ago, I started taking groceries to a group of about 35 isolated elderly folks. I could have done that once, patted myself on the back, and moved on. I didn\u2019t. Every Saturday, rain or shine, crying babies, lack of sleep, lack of money \u2013 the list of excuses I could give to stop helping was never-ending.\u00a0\n

Because I was consistent with a little, God blessed me with more and more until I had a lot \u2013 the OpenDoor Food Bank that feeds thousands of people each year.\u00a0\n

All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along. \u2013 Galatians 2:10\u00a0\n

In 1986, I was newly saved and wanted to jump off the deep end of whatever Jesus had for me, so I took my band to play Christian rock on Lancaster Street in Fort Worth. The homeless would come for the entertainment, and we\u2019d feed them and give them clothes. I still lead a team to that same parking lot every month.\u00a0\n

Now, God shows me favor in everything I do. He brings me opportunities I\u2019m not looking for, like meeting with kings and celebrities, hosting television shows, and stomping around the globe. Why does God favor me?\u00a0 Because I\u2019m consistent. I am strategic about the kingdom, and I keep going even when others fade away.\u00a0 \u00a0\n

Are you favored? If not, look at where you are not being consistent and make a strategic plan to take that territory for the Lord. He will bless your socks off!\u00a0","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"}">Deeper Love, Higher Level of Blessings

Jesus saved me so I can have an abundant life. I am intentional about being consistent in everything that is mine to do in the Kingdom and in my life. I rejoice that I am a child of God who is favored by God Almighty. Glory to Him.
