Good morning
I woke up with these words from Luke 6 this morning.
In this season may we move from the place of just telling God want we want into saying God what would you have me do?
Many of us may be feeling really pressed, it may not be the enemy....it may be God trying to tell us something. He may be trying to nudge us into position and purpose. There is an urgency for us to influence many.
He has chosen to birth you for such a time as this to make the difference in this world. He gave you all you need for successful living ie. Living in his purpose, walking in Destiny.
He requires the death to self and for us to walk along the "higher road", the straight and narrow pathway. It is in choosing this way that we "inherit" the anointing which is available to all in the Kingdom, but not all will have because their focus is on self. These words below truly reflect what the Christian life should be.
The "higher way" is the pathway of the anointing. Each time we come to a "cross roads" and we choose God’s way with the denial of self. God entrusts us with more of the anointing. He proves us through fire, but his grace is more than enough to do all he requires of us.
May we meditate on the words from Luke 6 and ask God to give us the grace to do accordingly.
Luke 6
27 “But I say to you who hear [Me and pay attention to My words]: [h]Love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies, [make it a practice to] do good to those who hate you, 28 bless and show kindness to those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 Whoever [i]strikes you on the cheek, offer him the other one also [simply ignore insignificant insults or losses and do not bother to retaliate—maintain your dignity]. Whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.(H) 30 Give to everyone who asks of you. [j]Whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. 31 Treat others the same way you want them to treat you. 32 If you [only] love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 If you lend [money] to those from whom you expect to receive [it back], what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners expecting to receive back the same amount. 35 But love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies, and do good, and lend, [k]expecting nothing in return; for your reward will be great (rich, abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High; because He Himself is kind and gracious and good to the ungrateful and the wicked. 36 Be merciful (responsive, compassionate, tender) just as your [heavenly] Father is merciful.
37 “[l]Do not judge [others self-righteously], and you will not be judged; do not condemn [others when you are guilty and unrepentant], and you will not be condemned [for your hypocrisy]; pardon [others when they truly repent and change], and you will be pardoned [when you truly repent and change].(I) 38 Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over [with no space left for more]. For with the standard of measurement you use [when you do good to others], it will be measured to you in return.”
Bless you my friends
And
Walk Good in Christ
Till we meet again
