The Holy Spirit started negging me just last week to begin podcasting. Just last week I didn't know how. Today is my first.

With this first I know that I am being equipped for every good work.

With this first I know that I am being prepared for something that I am not aware is coming my way.

This first is my Kindergarten project.
These firsts is where I will make a few mistakes as I find my niche. (Laughing)
But I also know that Father would not send me in this direction if HE didn't think I could do this.

I promise you I didn't see this coming either.
I am a writer.
But as I recouperate and heal from this surgery that I had I needed to find new ways to pour out all that is being poured into me.

And how about that.
This takes me to Isaiah 43:19

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."

OMG...
Here is yet another stream.

Wow.
Okay Lord Jesus, my King. Have your way. I look forward to seeing how this journey unfolds.

This is my first.

Called and Equipped

At Luke 6:46 Jesus said why do you call me Lord Lord and do not do what I say.

When Jesus speaks to you, do you ignore him, and instead choose to listen to the counsel of another?

What causes this is not really the heart of the individual, but a lack of understanding what the voice of the LORD sounds like.

If we are not taught to recognize the sound of the voice of the LORD spoken to you, or if you are made to feel as if you have to be religious to have this experience, then of course you will not listen.

Let me show you an individual in the Bible who also not only did not know the LORD but did not know the word of the LORD either, but when the LORD called him and it was recognized that he was being called, he was taught how to hear and encouraged to listen and speak.

He was taught to hear the voice of the LORD spoken to his heart.

He was given permission to listen to the voice of the LORD spoken to his heart.

He was not required to listen only to the older man (priest) whom he worked for.

He was not required to honor and recognize the pedestal (pulpit) over the voice of the LORD spoken to his heart.

Because the high priest taught him to listen to the voice of the LORD, his experience was beyond exceptional. His walk with the LORD was amazing.

We need to be taught to hear the voice of the LORD spoken to our heart.

We need to learn to trust the voice of the LORD spoken to our heart.

Our Heavenly Father wants to speak to us. It's time we start listening.

Distractions keep us from paying attention. Distractions are meant to keep us so busy that we won't have time to sit in the presence of the Lord where we can be refilled and refueled. Beware of the distractions.

5. What - God's will be done.
6. How - God has a plan

Do you treat the Lord like a hotel or AirBnB?

Unlocking the blessings of Psalm 91 requires more than a hotel stay.

You can't just check in and check out with the Lord and think that you will be covered under the blessings mentioned at Psalm 91.

Do you know what the secret place of the Most High is?

Do you know how to dwell in the secret place of the Most High?

Do you know how to abide under the shadow of the Almighty?

Would you like to know?

I don't ever want to take for granted that our Heavenly Father approved for me to be awakened today. He has a purpose for me in this day. (I wonder what it is. I wonder who I am to receive from today. I wonder who I am to give to today. I wonder what I will receive. I wonder what I am to give.)

All I know is that I cannot treat today as just another day. All I know is that I am not to do what I normally do, or what society expects me to do in this day. Our Heavenly Father approved for me to be awakened today. I was awakened for HIS purposed. He has a will for me for today - a plan for me and whatever it is it is for my good.

I'm so excited. I must not forget that someone did not hear their name called on today. Someone did not wake up. Someone will not be able to participate in this day - for the good or the bad.

I say or the bad because I do realize that iron sharpens iron. So some have a hard job to do. Some have the responsibility of bringing themselves and others to their knees.

Why themselves and others?

Because God's Word is a two edged sword. So usually those with the hard assignments are those who reject the KING Jesus Christ as their Savior and Redeemer.

By not accepting Jesus as Lord over their lives in gratitude for His making us all debt free, one still lives in such a way that is shaped in iniquity. And so the path they are one causes them to have to be sharpened by iron - whether they are the sharpener or the one being sharpened. This too is necessary. I get it. Someone has to do the hard work.

As for me, I desire to be a ground that is malleable - a ground that is ready for planting, ready to receive good seed, and ready to grow. I want to be a ground that can withstand the forces of nature and the attack of the bugs ( lol ) so that I can grow and produce good fruit.

So yes I am excited about today.

I am grateful that I was chosen to wake up today.

I present myself, a living sacrifice, ready to do God's will on this day.

Good morning. Here I am.
