There is an inherent power in the choices we make on the path of righteousness. Blessed is the man who sees today as not just his day, who sees his life as not just his life, who sees purpose in today as not just to benefit himself, but for everyone who will come after him...who sees his choices as seed, planted into the future.

Religion would convince us to see God only as austere, formidable, and unapproachable, when He is longing for us to see a new side of who He is. Yahweh is calling us into a deeper place of intimacy, a new revelation of Himself. It may be a little uncomfortable, but He is inviting us into the depths of simplicity, to become child-like, wide-eyed and full of wonder, anxious for nothing. He sees us as sons and daughters and He wants us to see Him as Father...and more intimately, as Daddy.

Yahweh put His breath in us, not to keep and hold, but to breathe in and out, over and over. It is His breath in our lungs that causes us to turn and give Him praise! It is His breath that changes us.

Yahweh’s ever increasing Kingdom takes us from glory TO glory, and when that “TO” is in process, it requires grit for us to be totally knitted to His heart and trust Him in the journey.

The Lord is in this place...the place of abiding in His presence, becoming His image bearers, joining our voices with generations past, preparing the way for generations yet to come.

This message brings a word of caution to be mindful of who you give a platform to speak into your life. Nothing is a substitute for proximity to The Father and communion with Him. Voices you do not know personally - through podcasts, books, etc., - can never be a substitute for The Voice. The more voices, the wider the gate. Choose the narrow gate - The One Thing - and focus on The One Voice who desires to whisper in your ear and direct your path.

Did you know that not only do we need Christ, but He needs us? We are His image bearers, on full display to show what it looks like for mankind to walk in communion with our Father. Through Christ, Yahweh made the way for us to have His righteousness, peace and joy, manifesting His glory, so that the knowledge of Yahweh will cover the earth like the waters cover the sea.

It's not what you think...
