F O C U S "A center of activity, attraction or attention. A point of concentration and directed attention." Why do we find it so easy to focus on the negative? Why is it that we're in the midst of struggle all we can see is the struggle and not the way through it to the other side? It's all about focus. Matthew 6:22-23 NASB ""The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!" When the Scriptures talk about our eyes they aren't referring to just our physical eyes but our minds eye as well. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 AMPC "For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons. For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)" Everything begins with how we see things. If we're going to have victory over the battles we have to change our focus. Quit looking at the problem and start looking at the promise. Quit looking at the diagnosis and start looking at Jesus's dominion. Changing how we think about things doesn't happen over night or in a few weeks. We change how we think and see through God's Word. Dive into Ephesians, Isaiah 5:3-5, Psalm 103:3-5 and Mark 4:14-20, 11:22-25 for starters and begin changing the way you think. Two books that are a continual help to me are The Power of Your Words by E. W. Kenyon and New Creation Realities by Kenyon. We give medicine time to work, let's give the Word time to change our thinking by reading, meditating on it and saying it. Not just a few times but continually until it's deeply rooted. Let today be the day you refocus on the Word and start gaining victory.I didn't know you could do that 😂😂😂😂Stan Lee's creative genius has inspired, entertained and have caused thousands to think deeply. Your life and legacy will never be forgotten.It's nothing new but Israel has been under rocket fire for hours. One teen is critically injured after a rocket struck a bus. Israel is the only democracy in the region. If an Arab needs help, the Jews will help them. If a Jew is hurt in an area controlled by the Palestinian Authority, they don't get help. The news doesn't cover this and when they do it is almost always anti Israel. Pray for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. Pray for Jews and Arabs to receive Jesus and bring peace in relationships.The holidays are upon usDon't ever pray "Lord if it be your will" because all you're telling God is that you're too lazy to get in His word and find out what His will is. Pastor @rodparsley #PrayerCloth2018 #SpiritSoulBodyHow fitting that this is the verse of the day when I am in the movement, restoring my shield of faith! #faith #impartation #teaching #jewishroots #gsc #globalspherescenter #gloryofzion#Repost @chabadorg (@get_repost) ・・・ Your Daily Dose of Jewish Wisdom: Who are you? Can you change who you are? On the outside lie your thoughts, the words you speak, and the things you do. Those are the ways you dress yourself, your interface with the world. On the inside lies a certain way of perceiving the world, and the emotions and feelings that flow out of that perception. Those are you yourself. Real change can only come when that internal perception changes. But we are not masters over that place. We cannot command ourselves to perceive that which is beyond us, to feel differently than we feel, or to understand that which we cannot understand. So here is a strategy that works: Just as we can wash our clothes and bathe our skin, so we can focus our thoughts, guide our words and clean up our act. Ignore, for the time being, that a messy storm rages within. Once scrubbed enough to let light pass through, eventually your inner self will awaken to that light. This is what Moses told his people on their last day together: “The hidden things are up to G‑d. But the outer things are for us and our children forever, to do what needs to be done.”We are a couple days outside of the midterms and my prayer is; bring truth, love and unity to this nation. At the recommendation of Rabbi Curt Landry I am going to cut down news media consumption for the next two years. There are ministries that I follow who will share important info but major networks and political social media will be kept to a medium for my own sanity. I know there are big differences between #Republicans and #Democrats. That's fine, a good debate is even healthy. But when did we start hating each other. Don't lie to yourself and say Trump or Obama. Politics should not rule our lives, especially those of us who are Christians. Put aside your party for a minute and remember that the love of God has ben shed abroad in our hearts. We need to break political spirits over our lives and relationships. Right policies without right hearts won't do our nation any good. Greg Gutfeld said a few weeks ago, "wait until the third date to discuss politics. You may find out you have a ton of stuff in common and are really into each other, but when you bring up politics too early it ruins what would have been a great relationship." It's important to vote and stick to your convictions. It is just as important to hear another view and not hate the person. We Also need to go back to the place when we understood disagreement did not mean hate. Instead of us praying political agendas, #pray for love, unity, understanding and real patriotism. A divided House and Senate should not automatically mean a house divided. Ask the Lord to give you the name of a politician from the opposite party to pray for. Not to pray they see things your way but they would have wisdom and that their hearts would be open to God. Politicians on both sides need to change their tone. Politicians on both sides need to do what's good for the country and not just their ideology. We need to find a middle ground on immigrant and stop this polarization. It's starts with prayer and is accomplished through reaching out and listening to understand one another and not argue. Ask the Lord what your part is in the healing of the nation. If we do our part the nation will change.Topics & Series
