Have you ever encountered people who by the nature of their job or the way they accomplish it seem to make more work for other people? This is the opposite of helping. They have a counterpart in my Kingdom. There are believers who conduct themselves in such a way that the way of truth is evil spoken of. Those who encounter them have a bad impression of believers, creating an obstacle for them to receive the gospel message. It is still possible for them to be saved, but it creates extra work for those who present my word with faithfulness and integrity. Live so that your life makes people desire me. 

As I read through the book Naturally Supernatural I was also compelled to read through Ephesians and Colossians with fresh eyes, looking for a deepening of this revelation of Christ in me the hope of glory. 

Laughter Is Healing - "A Joyful Heart Is Good Medicine"

My word tells you to remember the poor. It also says that to him who has more shall be given, and to him who has not, what little he has will be taken away. Do these sound contradictory to you? The redistribution of wealth is a prevalent theme of many governments, and it is popular among those who have not. Yet the above verse implies that the spiritually rich will get richer. The economy of my Kingdom is not a zero sum game. My wealth is inexhaustible and available to all. Those who seek it get it because they value it, and they get more. Those who don’t value it discard what they have been given and don’t notice the loss. Lay up your treasure in heaven.

I quiet myself: “I am here, Lord. I quiet myself before You. I am watching. I am listening. What is it You want to show me today? What is it You want to speak to me today?”

Do you think that everyone wants peace? If this were true than there would be peace everywhere, but you know that this is not true. Everyone wants peace on their own terms. Perhaps a better question would be whether you wanted peace enough to make the sacrifices necessary to obtain it. Do you think that this question only applies to nations? I tell you that it scales down to individuals. Strife and division and discord are possible at every level of aggregation. Is this present enough to be considered a default condition? Do not accept this as inevitable, but walk in grace and humility toward all that you may be a peacemaker my child.

If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (II Chronicles 7:14)

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. (Hosea 5:15)

Seek the LORD and His strength, seek His face continually. (I Chronicles 16:11)

Also see Psalm 27:8, 105:4, Proverbs 7:15.

Do you expect to be commended when you do right and hope for mercy when you do wrong?  Do you think it is bad enough to suffer for your own faults and hope that in some way your virtues will balance against them? Yet my word speaks of suffering for the sake of righteousness, even as I did, for they hated me without a cause and I had done them no harm. Isn’t it unrealistic to expect to lead a pain free life? Then isn’t it better to suffer for doing good than for doing evil? For in this case my word tells you to rejoice. Suffering for wrongdoing can be considered as chastisement and correction, but suffering for virtue is the glory of righteousness.
