Ambassadors for Christ

WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST
(2 Corinthians 5:20).

It is so easy to be a representative of my own kingdom…a spokesperson of my own domain…an advocate of my own possessions.

BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS;
AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU
(Matthew 6:33).

I bless you to become an ambassador for Christ—
a representative of your Perfect Father’s Kingdom.

May your body become available to Christ, through which someone may experience
the Dwelling Place of Jesus.

May your hands become available to Christ, through which someone may experience
the Kindness of Jesus.

May your mouth become available to Christ, through which someone may experience
the Gentleness of Jesus.

May your feet become available to Christ, through which someone may experience
the Presence of Jesus.

THY KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM,
AND THY DOMINION ENDURETH THROUGHOUT ALL GENERATIONS
(Psalm 145:13).

May your mind and heart be available to Christ, through which you may experience
Jesus as the Truth, the Way, and the Life.

May your will and desires be available to Christ, through which you may experience
the Obedience of Jesus towards His Father.

God’s Kingdom lasts forever!

Of whom are you an ambassador: your Self or the Lord Jesus? In other words, who lives in you and through you: your Self or the Lord Jesus?

PRAYER:  Lord Jesus, establish Your Self in my mind, my heart, my will, my desires, my nature, and my whole body, so I may become Your ambassador in everything I think, say and do…and in everything I am.

To Say, “I Am Sorry”

Posted by

0

AND FORGIVE US OUR SINS, FOR WE ALSO FORGIVE EVERYONE WHO IS INDEBTED TO US. AND DO NOT LEAD US INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER US FROM THE EVIL ONE
(Luke 11:4).

I once talked to a pre-teen about a lie that had crept into his heart.  You see, the boy believed that he was a failure because of something his dad once said to him.  A few years passed and the boy grew into a handsome teenager.  One day, I ran into him again and enquired about his lie of feeling like a failure.  He cheerfully answered, “Oh, that lie has been removed.”  Astonished at his remark, I asked him how he got rid of this lie.  He answered, “My dad said he was sorry for what he said to me and asked me to forgive him.”

Today I bless you to believe that it does make a difference to say, “I am sorry.”  It does make a difference to offer an apology in a spirit of submission.  It does make a difference to be atoning and show regret.  To say, “I am sorry” can help deliver someone from the evil one.

FOOLS MOCK AT MAKING AMENDS FOR SIN, BUT GOODWILL IS FOUND AMONG THE UPRIGHT
(Proverbs 14:9).

Beloved, you need to understand that to seek forgiveness for an offense could soften someone’s hardened heart and release him from further temptation to hold onto his bitterness.  To be atoning could deliver someone from strongholds set in place by the father-of-lies.  Dropping your defense and offering an apology could make space for My Truth to enter someone’s darkened understanding and set him free.

A GENTLE ANSWER TURNS AWAY WRATH, BUT A HARSH WORD STIRS UP ANGER
(Proverbs 15:1).

Believe that your gentle answer could turn away strong vengeful anger and indignation.  Your gentle answer could soften someone’s heart enough to open a channel for My Grace to enter his soul, for My Hope to be revealed in his mind, and for My Love to heal his heart.  May you be willing to offer an apology to those who might be holding something against you, My Child.  May you do this for My Glory.

Is there someone you owe an apology?

What is standing in your way? I urge you to bring the belief that is keeping you from apologizing, to God, and ask Him for His Perspective.

PRAYER:  Majesty, I bring my doubting heart to You. It is filled with fear and uncertainty. As I bring these negative beliefs to You, fill me with Your Truth, so I may do what is right.

Obedient surrender consists of three steps: EMBRACING, EXPOSING, and giving permission to be EXCHANGED.

Love One Another

A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE UNTO YOU, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER; AS I HAVE LOVED YOU, THAT YE ALSO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
(John 13:34).

Realize that there is an OLD MAN living his life inside you—an agglomeration of negative, destructive beliefs, instilled in your mind by the father-of-lies.  This collection of OLD MAN beliefs carries a painful, negative message of failure, defilement, and unworthiness.

When my husband and I argue, it is the presence of this OLD MAN and its degrading beliefs “You are not acceptable, You are not worthy, You are not lovable” that cause me to hate myself and consequently despise my spouse. I have noticed that my husband and I cannot love each other from the heart if we perceive ourselves as unworthy, unacceptable, and unlovable.

NOW THAT YOU HAVE PURIFIED YOURSELVES BY OBEYING THE TRUTH SO THAT YOU HAVE SINCERE LOVE FOR YOUR BROTHERS, LOVE ONE ANOTHER DEEPLY, FROM THE HEART
(1 Peter 1:22).

I bless you to understand that your spouse cannot grant you Worth, Acceptance, and God’s Perfect Love.  Instead, the OLD MAN beliefs of defilement, failure, and unworthiness, instilled in your mind by the father-of-lies, need to be given over to the Lord Jesus to be nailed to the cross.  Only after He has exchanged them for new beliefs of Worth, Acceptance, and His Perfect Love will you have sincere love for yourself, your spouse, and the other people in your life.

AND WE HAVE KNOWN AND BELIEVED THE LOVE THAT GOD HAS FOR US. GOD IS LOVE, AND HE WHO ABIDES IN LOVE ABIDES IN GOD, AND GOD IN HIM
(1 John 4:16).

Do you have a hard time loving your spouse? Do you have a hard time loving yourself? I bless you to find the oppressing OLD MAN beliefs in your mind that cause you to feel unlovable, unacceptable, and unworthy, and surrender them to the Lord Jesus. Then, you will receive the Love you need in your heart for yourself and others, for he who abides in Love abides in God, and God in him.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I have been looking for love at all the wrong places: from my friends, from my spouse, and from my parents and children. But, perfect Love comes from You, my Lord, because You ARE Love. Therefore, I lay these OLD MAN beliefs that make me feel unlovable, unacceptable, and unworthy at the foot of Your cross, O Lord. Redeem these negative beliefs, so I may love myself and others from my heart—from Your heart.

God sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to become the NEW MAN Truth in the place of the OLD MAN deception in us.

When You Surrender, God Will Accept

Posted by

0

I live a life of surrender—surrendering every thought that enters my mind and every feeling that enters my heart to God.  I do this every day of my life…no exceptions—thoughts of fear, doubt, disappointment, guilt, shame, rejection, and abandonment.

THAT YOU MAY STAND PERFECT AND COMPLETE IN ALL THE WILL OF GOD
(Colossians 4:12).

Sometimes, when I try to yield something or someone to God, the father-of-lies would tell me that I am not surrendering in a way that is acceptable to God—that God would not accept my surrender, unless I do it perfectly.

Today, I want you to know that there is no wrong way to surrender anything or anyone to God.  He will accept and guard what you have entrusted Him, even if you do not submit someone or something to Him in a perfect way. He understands your heart. He knows what you are trying to do, even if you don’t. He will fill in the gaps for you—the thoughts you forgot to mention, the words you neglected to say, and the feelings you did not even know you had.

THEREFORE, BROTHERS, SINCE WE HAVE CONFIDENCE TO ENTER THE MOST HOLY PLACE BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS, BY A NEW AND LIVING WAY OPENED FOR US THROUGH THE CURTAIN, THAT IS, HIS BODY, AND SINCE WE HAVE A GREAT PRIEST OVER THE HOUSE OF GOD, LET US DRAW NEAR TO GOD WITH A SINCERE HEART IN FULL ASSURANCE OF FAITH
(Hebrews 10:19-22).

I bless you to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of the Lord Jesus.  Draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance that He accepts what you entrust Him, even when it feels so unreal and unacceptable.  Enter boldly into the Presence of the Most High with a heart fully trusting Him, for He has never forsaken those who seek Him.

THOSE WHO KNOW YOUR NAME WILL TRUST IN YOU, FOR YOU, LORD, HAVE NEVER FORSAKEN THOSE WHO SEEK YOU
(Psalm 9:10).

Do you sometimes struggle to find the right words, the right feelings, and the right thoughts to surrender to God?

Get as close to your feelings, words, and thoughts as you can. Then, lay these down at the feet of the Lord Jesus, in full assurance of faith.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I lay my feelings, thoughts, and words down at Your feet. Redeem them, my Lord, and show me Your Truth. Fill in the parts that I missed. You know what I need.

I found out that I had an enemy. You do, too. We have had him from the beginning of our lives. His name is the father-of-lies. His native language is…lying!

To Exchange the Truth for a Lie

Posted by

0

THEY EXCHANGED THE TRUTH OF GOD FOR A LIE, AND WORSHIPED AND SERVED CREATED THINGS RATHER THAN THE CREATOR—WHO IS FOREVER PRAISED
(Romans 1:25).

Understand that it has always been the god of this world’s goal to get you to serve created things rather than the Creator.  He would like you to revere people, instead of the Creator of people.  He would love for you to serve a ministry, instead of the Author of the ministry.  He would like you to glorify the extent of your education, rather than the Most High.

DON’T YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU OFFER YOURSELVES TO SOMEONE TO OBEY HIM AS SLAVES, YOU ARE SLAVES TO THE ONE WHOM YOU OBEY—WHETHER YOU ARE SLAVES TO SIN, WHICH LEADS TO DEATH, OR TO OBEDIENCE, WHICH LEADS TO RIGHTEOUSNESS?
(Romans 6:16).

Beautiful One, the god of this world will get you to worship and serve created things, rather than Me, the Creator, by exchanging truths in your life for lies, one at a time.  If the father-of-lies can get you to believe him, he can get you to obey him.  Once he can get you to obey him, he can control you.  Once he can control you, he can get you to become a slave to the sinful habit of serving created things, instead of the Creator.

THE COMING OF THE LAWLESS ONE WILL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WORK OF SATAN DISPLAYED IN ALL KINDS OF COUNTERFEIT MIRACLES, SIGNS AND WONDERS, AND IN EVERY SORT OF EVIL THAT DECEIVES THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING. THEY PERISH BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO LOVE THE TRUTH AND SO BE SAVED
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-10).

But, you will perish if you believe and obey the father-of-lies. You will serve created things, instead of Me, your Creator.  You will try to find acceptance, worth, and meaning for your life by serving people, things, organizations, and high positions rather than the Creator of these. Therefore, Child, love the Truth…and be saved.

Where do you find acceptance, worth, and meaning for your life: from the Creator…or the things He created?

Know that you will never be fully fulfilled by worshiping and serving created things, rather than the Creator. Therefore, love the Truth and be saved. Find the lies of unworthiness and non-acceptance in your life. Then, expose these to God. When your Creator exchanges these lies for His Truth, you will be in awe. Then, you will serve the Creator.

PRAYER: Lord, Creator or Heaven and earth, I bow down to Your Authority. I come to love the Truth and be saved. I come to serve You, my Creator.

Enter God’s Rest

Posted by

0

FOR IT IS GOD WHO WORKS IN YOU TO WILL AND TO ACT ACCORDING TO HIS GOOD PURPOSE
(Philippians 2:13).

One of the hardest things for me is to allow God to act in and through me according to His Good Purpose.  I always seem to want to do everything according to my good purpose.  It is so hard to think that God’s Good Purpose will be better than mine.

The problem with working out my good purpose is that it gives me no rest.  I strive a lot.  I worry a lot.  In the end, things do not even work out.

THEREFORE, SINCE THE PROMISE OF ENTERING HIS REST STILL STANDS, LET US BE CAREFUL THAT NONE OF YOU BE FOUND TO HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF IT. FOR WE ALSO HAVE HAD THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO US, JUST AS THEY DID; BUT THE MESSAGE THEY HEARD WAS OF NO VALUE TO THEM, BECAUSE THOSE WHO HEARD DID NOT COMBINE IT WITH FAITH
(Hebrews 4:1-2).

The promise of entering God’s Rest still stands, but it has to be combined with Faith—believing that God can do His job to will in you and act in you according to His Good Purpose. This means that God will give you the necessary desires to act according to His Will, all the time, throughout your life, until His Purpose is completed in your life.

THERE REMAINS, THEN, A SABBATH-REST FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD; FOR ANYONE WHO ENTERS GOD’S REST ALSO RESTS FROM HIS OWN WORK, JUST AS GOD DID FROM HIS
(Hebrews 4:9-10).

I bless you to make every effort to enter into God’s Rest.  Understand that anyone who enters God’s Rest rests from his own striving.  He asks God to exchanges his good purpose…for God’s Good Purpose. He combines his decision with Faith.

FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT
(2 Corinthians 5:7).

Why are you striving so hard? What are you trying to achieve?

What is keeping you from coming into God’s rest, in Faith—to set your striving aside and allow God to will and act in your life, according to His Good Purpose?

PRAYER: May you be willing to pray this prayer with Major Ian Thomas, “Lord Jesus, I am willing for You to invade my soul, to control my mind, to control my emotions, and to control my will, so that every decision within my soul will be in perfect harmony with my spirit, and my spirit in perfect harmony with You, so that my whole being may declare Your praise.” Do this in combination with Faith.

Let Light Shine out of Darkness

BUT IF YOUR EYE IS BAD, YOUR WHOLE BODY WILL BE FULL OF DARKNESS. IF THEREFORE THE LIGHT THAT IS IN YOU IS DARKNESS, HOW GREAT IS THAT DARKNESS!
(Matthew 6:23).

Is the light that is in you darkness? How great must your darkness be, then! I know how this darkness feels. It used to live in my mind and my heart, too, in the form of the OLD MAN—the set of oppressing beliefs “I am guilty!”  I learned that this darkness could not be improved. It had to be replaced…with the NEW MAN, Jesus Christ. When He knocked the OLD MAN in my heart off its throne and took its place, the darkness in me was replaced with the Light that shone from the Person of the Lord Jesus, the NEW MAN. Any darkness that tried to come into me, after that, was overcome by the Light in me.

THEREFORE TAKE HEED THAT THE LIGHT WHICH IS IN YOU IS NOT DARKNESS
(Luke 11:35).

Beloved, if you live from the dark core of guilt, everything in you and everything around you will be covered in darkness, too. When you live in the set of negative, destructive beliefs of the OLD MAN: “I am guilty!” your eye will be bad, too. Since the light that is shining from you is guilt, you will see everything and everyone through the lenses of condemnation, abandonment, rejection, and shame.

If your eye is contaminated with speckles of abandonment and rejection, you will look at everything through the lenses of feeling alone, unprotected, and overlooked.  If your eye is polluted with blotches of condemnation, you will experience everything and everybody through the lenses of feeling doomed, wronged, and incriminated.  If your eye is smeared with streaks of shame, you will view everything and everyone through the lenses of shortcoming and impropriety.

FOR GOD, WHO SAID, ‘LET LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS’ MADE HIS LIGHT SHINE IN OUR HEARTS TO GIVE US THE LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE FACE OF CHRIST
(2 Corinthians 4:6).

But, there is Hope. There is Light. My name is Jesus Christ. I will knock the OLD MAN of guilt that lives in your heart off its throne, and take its place as the NEW MAN…if you invite Me in. When I live in your heart, the light that is in you is My Light. It is the Light of a Person. My Presence will shine on everything in you and everything around you. You will feel like a new person with a new eye. Instead of seeing condemnation, abandonment, shame, and rejection, you will see and experience My Hope, My Love, and My Truth in you and around you.

If the light that is in you is Light, how blessed you are. You have submitted the dark core of guilt in you to the Lord Jesus…to be replaced with His Person and His Light.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, come into my heart as a Person and replace the guilt that is in me with Your Light, so I may live in Your Light and experience Your Hope, Your Love, and Your Truth.

Success Is a By-Product

YET WHEN I SURVEYED ALL THAT MY HANDS HAD DONE AND WHAT I HAD TOILED TO ACHIEVE, EVERYTHING WAS MEANINGLESS, A CHASING AFTER THE WIND; NOTHING WAS GAINED UNDER THE SUN
(Ecclesiastes 2:11).

At the end of my life, when I survey all that my hands have done and what I have toiled to achieve, I would like to see that everything was not meaningless—a chasing after the wind.  I would like to see that something permanent was gained under the sun.

AND I SAW THAT ALL LABOR AND ALL ACHIEVEMENT SPRING FROM MAN’S ENVY OF HIS NEIGHBOR. THIS TOO IS MEANINGLESS, A CHASING AFTER THE WIND
(Ecclesiastes 4:4).

At the end of my life, when I survey all that I have toiled to achieve, I would like to see that no achievement sprang from my envy of my neighbor.  This would have been meaningless toiling—a chasing after the wind.  Nothing would have been gained under the sun.

What is the reason you take on a certain activity or service?  Is it to prove to yourself that you are as good as your neighbor?  Why are you striving so hard to be successful?  Is it to prove to your family, your friends, and your co-workers that you are worthy and acceptable in the eyes of people and of God?

I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING GOD DOES WILL ENDURE FOREVER; NOTHING CAN BE ADDED TO IT AND NOTHING TAKEN FROM IT. GOD DOES IT SO THAT MEN WILL REVERE HIM
(Ecclesiastes 3:14).

I bless you to grasp that everything God does is permanent.  Everything God does through you will endure forever.  Nobody will be able to add to that or take away from that.  Success is only a by-product of your surrender to God.

DON’T AIM AT SUCCESS.  FOR SUCCESS CANNOT BE PURSUED, IT MUST ENSUE, AND IT DOES SO AS THE UNINTENDED SIDE-EFFECT OF ONE’S DEDICATION TO A CAUSE GREATER THAN ONESELF OR AS THE BY-PRODUCT OF ONE’S SURRENDER TO A PERSON OTHER THAN ONESELF
(Victor E. Frankl).

What would you like to see at the end of your life, when you survey all you have toiled to achieve?

PRAYER: Lord God, may my life belong to You, so You may do through me what will last forever.

Keep Yourself from the Wicked One

Posted by

BECAUSE YOU HAVE KEPT MY COMMAND TO PERSEVERE, I ALSO WILL KEEP YOU FROM THE HOUR OF TRIAL WHICH SHALL COME UPON THE WHOLE WORLD, TO TEST THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH
(Revelation 3:10).

I was twelve years old and learning German in school for the first time.  One of the first things I learned was to count in German.  I was very proud of my accomplishment and could not wait to show my daddy what I have achieved.

So, one day, I ran excitedly to him and shouted, “Daddy, guess what I can do?  I can count to one hundred in German.”  I opened my mouth to start counting, but suddenly my daddy took the words right out of my mouth…and started counting in German for me. He was very proud of his accomplishment, too.

The disappointment in my little twelve-year-old heart was immense.  However, it was not the disappointment that stayed with me for the rest of my life, but the misinterpretations from the father-of-lies that formed in me, that day: that I was not special…that there was nothing unique I could bring to the table…that because I did not count the numbers to my daddy, I did not count, as a person, to anybody. These misinterpretations stayed with me, until I decided to keep myself from the wicked one. I submitted these trials to the Lord Jesus, who knew how to deliver me out of temptations.

THE LORD KNOWS HOW TO DELIVER THE GODLY OUT OF TEMPTATIONS
(2 Peter 2:9).

Because I surrendered that twelve-year-old with her misinterpretations to God, He kept me from the hour of trial with which the father-of-lies tempted me. Through His Spirit, God spoke into my heart and told me how special I was to Him, and that He created me to be unique, with a very specific purpose. After that, I was set free from the misinterpretation from the wicked one—that I did not count to anybody.

WE KNOW THAT WHOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOES NOT SIN; BUT HE WHO HAS BEEN BORN OF GOD KEEPS HIMSELF, AND THE WICKED ONE DOES NOT TOUCH HIM
(1 John 5:18).

What childhood misinterpretations from the father-of-lies live in your heart: oppressing beliefs that accuse you of not being special…of not having a purpose…of not being unique?

Will you surrender these misinterpretations to the Lord Jesus, so He may deliver you from the trials and temptations of the wicked one?

PRAYER: Most High, how encouraged I am that You are able to keep me from the trials with which the father-of-lies tempts me. How comforted I am that You know how to deliver me from these temptations. Remind me, daily, to submit these trials to You, so the wicked one will not touch me with his misinterpretations.

I’m OK-You’re OK

Posted by

0

I enjoyed the book “I’m OK-You’re OK” by Thomas Harris.  In this book, Harris explains that we take on certain life positions of OK-ness while we are very young.  These life positions then stay with us for the rest of our lives.  Some people take on the life position “I’m OK-You’re not OK”.  Others take on the life position “I’m not OK-You’re OK”. One of the most damaging life positions to take on is “I’m not OK-You’re not OK”.  Harris explains that when people take on this position of not-OK-ness, they hurt so much, but are not likely to change, because on top of not liking themselves, they do not like anybody else enough to trust them.

WHEN HE LIES, HE SPEAKS HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE, FOR HE IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF LIES
(John 8:44).

 It is the father-of-lies’ goal to get us to adopt the life position “I’m not OK-You’re not OK”.  He does this by lying to us about ourselves…and lying to us about God.  He tells us that we are not OK and that God is not OK, either—that God cannot be trusted.  This way, he sets us up with a life position that keeps us trapped. We do not feel OK about ourselves, but we have nowhere to turn, because “God is not OK and cannot be trusted.”  But then, the father-of-lies offers us an escape route: sinful habits and patterns of hiding our not-OK selves from our not-OK God, running from our not-OK selves and our not-OK God, and blaming our not-OK God for our not-OK selves.

MAY THEY BE BROUGHT TO COMPLETE UNITY TO LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT YOU SENT ME AND HAVE LOVED THEM EVEN AS YOU HAVE LOVED ME
(John 17:23).

I bless you to know that all the things the father-of-lies told you about God…is not true.  God is the Perfect Father and He wants you to know that He loves you as much as He loves His Son, Jesus.  You can trust Him!

By the way, I took on the life position “I’m not OK-You’re not OK” as a child, as well.  Nobody could help me get rid of it, because I did not trust anybody.  However, after I have come to know God as the Perfect Father who can be trusted, I have allowed Him to help me adopt the position “I’m OK-You’re OK” through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Which life position have you taken on? What are the underlying negative, destructive beliefs from the father-of-lies about YOU…and about GOD?

Would you like to acquire the position I’m OK-You’re OK? Then, you need to invite God’s Presence and Participation into the beliefs that deem you and others not-OK. Embrace these beliefs, expose them to God, and allow Him to exchange them for His Truth.

PRAYER: Lord God, I am tired of feeling not-OK about myself and others. Help me to trust You to lead me to the place where I will feel that I am OK and that others are OK, too.
