In today's discussion, join D.L. as we journey deeper into the Heroes series. This series is all about the characters of our favorite bible studies in a more in depth and personal way. Today, let's talk about Moses; the Delivered Deliverer

In our Heroes series, we're diving into the lives of many of the Bible's most notable and talked about characters and examining their lives from a fresh perspective. We have heard their stories, read about their impact, but do we really know who they are personally? That's what this series is all about.

In Genesis 12, we're introduced to a man named Abram or Abraham, who for many became known as the Father of Faith. Abraham's story, however, didn't begin with his faith in God. But over time, was radically transformed into the man we've all come to know and love. Let's dive in and see what we can learn from this man, "Father Abraham" 

We've started a new series entitled "Heroes". In this new series, we'll be journeying through scripture and going beyond the surface and taking an in-depth look into the lives of some of the most notable heroes and heroines in the Bible. We know their names. We know their accomplishments. We know their fame. But do we know their stories? Join me as we uncover the stories of our favorite biblical heroes.

Episode 2-Decoding Devotion

More often that I can recall, I've been asked the question of "how do I personally do devotion" or "practically, how does my devotion  time with God look"? When thinking about the term "devotion" I'm sure many facets may come to mind. A person can devote their bodies to a particular practice, we can devote our resources for a particular purpose, our families can be devoted to specific values or norms, etc...But today, we're going to deal with devotion from the aspect of "disciplined and intentional time set apart for God and God only." 

So on today's show, we're going to discuss "5 traits " of what devotion IS and what it is NOT.

1. REAL DEVOTION IS NOT ACCIDENTAL

                   -"Devotion isn't devotion until it's INTENTIONAL" -DeVondre Adams

As with any relationship that's built, it's built through intentionality. A healthy and thriving relationship with God is no different and shoudnt be treated nor viewed as such. You can't happen upon a healthy relationship. It is only cultivated through consistent and intentional practice of doing it. What I've come to realize through my own personal life and through various conversations with others, many times our relationship with God STALLS at the place of our good intentions. But I've sinced come to realize that ' GOOD INTENTIONS + BAD PRACTICES (HABITS)=DELUSION!  

1. REAL DEVOTION ISN'T TIME TO GOD, IT'S TIME WITH GOD"

Often times in our efforts of building our devotional relationship, we approach it with the mindset of "this is something that I do TO God". So our devotion time looks more like a monologue of 1 person rather than a dialogue of 2 individuals. This is why many, for many, once you've read your scripture, worshipped aa little bit and prayed your prayer, the very next thing that comes out of your mouth is AMEN. One of the most selfish times in the lives of many believers is our devotion time.  

"Sometimes in our hurry to FINISH, we miss where God wants to START" -DeVondre Adams

1. REAL DEVOTION ISN'T FREE, IT WILL COST YOU SOMETHING\\

What I've come to learn as I've matured, is that one of the many reasons people neglect devotion, is due to its cost. You may say, well 'how does it cost?'

-Costs your time, energy, priorities and focus

-If we're not ok with the cost of something, we have a natural tendency to leave it alone

-Healthy Devotion is an INVESTMENT into ME, not God

-Devotion flows UP, not down (from us to God, not God to us)

1. DEVOTION IS NOT WHAT THEY SAID, IT'S WHAT HE SAID

When many people think of devotion or a devotional life, we often picture a nice, well crafted book, journal or literature written by someone else and we utilize that as our foundational resource of getting what we need in that time. While these resources can be a good accompaniment, they should not be the direct means of our devotional nutrition. Only the Word of God can do that. One of the mistakes we make is we replace God's Word with somebody else's word and expect God to communicate with us through somebody else's lips .

1. DEVOTION DOESN'T STOP WITH AMEN!

—- The fruit of a healthy devotional life is most evident in what happens after you say AMEN

-The health of your devotion life is strengthened by your life application

-How are you applying what you received in your quiet time?

-Healthy devotion carries you beyond the moment into movement  

-"Not just hearers of the Word, but DOERS-James 1:22"

Application Questions

1. When was the last time you spent quality and productive time with God?
2. What are the priorities in my life? In what ways have these things threatened my quality time with God?
3. In what ways is God calling you into deeper communion and fellowship with Him?
