Posture

If I’m not aware, I set my hope merely on outcomes.

In crisis, I hope for change. In good times, I hope things never change.

But scripture speaks to the freedom and wholeness that comes when we set our hope on God Himself.

Accusation, intimidation, and manipulation are trying to masquerade themselves right now as discernment, wisdom, and righteous activity.

It's a lie. It's a lie. It's a lie.

It's never wise to live in fear.

You have what it takes to live completely unafraid.

Your transformation into the image of God is His passion and His absolute delight.

So the question is: Is your process of development as delightful for you as it is for God?

OK, so today I’m sharing a clip from a real life mentoring moment. Every month, my friend and mentor, Graham Cooke, and I lead online challenges on Facebook (it’s like a 3 day live study on topics we love exploring and sharing). Back in May, during one of our challenges, I said something that Graham had to correct.

There is so much fear and intimidation floating around right now in our world, and there’s this stinging accusation that those who are not fearful are just being naive.

I shared with Graham how living in our Kingdom reality instead of the world’s reality didn’t mean we were being naive. And this was Graham’s response...

Many times I have said, "I will be glad when this is over!"

But, I've read John 15 with fresh eyes and I realized that I don't have to wait until the end of a task, day, circumstance or season to have joy.

Joy isn't a finish line, it's your starting point!

My excuses for not "rejoicing always" haven’t just been circumstantial. I used to let my natural personality dictate my worship by saying things like, “Oh, I’m an introvert,” or “I’m not really an emotional person."

But, worship is designed to take you out of this natural world and make you fully aware of your Kingdom reality.

Do you come to God guarded? Do you struggle to rejoice?

Maybe like me, you have also tried to excuse yourself out of fully engaging in worship by telling God, “This is not how you made me."

The Lord says, “In worship, I’m making you like Me.”

There’s no such thing as "toxic positivity" in the Kingdom of God, there is only the joy of the Lord.

And it’s a joy that strengthens us, not poisons us.

[The correct scripture reference mentioned at 5:03 is 2 Corinthians 1:20]

I used to think rescue was breakthrough.

I used to think rescue and relief would be the things to transform me, instead of relying on the transformative relationship I have with God. And through the lens of these wrong beliefs, I viewed the Secret Place as merely a place of escape. Living by those wrong beliefs made me powerless and ineffective in the world because I was always living for a way out. But Jesus didn’t die to just rescue us over and over again, and He didn’t die for us to live a life here on earth from which we would want constant escape.

He died to give us a life of His lasting victory.
