My 3 Step BLUEPRINT To Make 2022 Your YEAR!

What is a lightworker and are you one? What can you do to develop your spiritual side, and you ‘light’ work?

Out of darkest hell, the Lord Jesus was resurrected. He descended before he ascended. As he was resurrected at the proper time, he will resurrect us in accordance with our reliance on himself. To trust him is to wait and determine to discern and then do his will. It will be horrid for a time. But afterwards we will gather a harvest of righteousness.

At my age you simply cannot help but look back often and reflect on the lift you have lived thus far and forward to the life you hope to live. I find many others I talk to who are my age, and even quite a bit younger, are doing the same thing. Perhaps it is the result of a recent loss in your family, or a personal illness, or beginning a new chapter of employment.

Are you needing to make a change in your life? To overcome addiction or strongholds that are keeping you from a full life? We can learn a lot from Josiah, a king of the Bible, and how he dealt with his sin, God’s response, and how we can apply that in our own lives. Learn more about how you can cultivate goodness in your life, in Josiah’s Reformation.

BY THE TIME we reach a certain age, having invariably learned the hard lesson once too often, we are ready to say to that one who knocks at our door, “I’m okay just as I am, thank you very much!” The same response is applicable also for cold callers in any location; shopping malls, etc.

Answered prayer should be the norm in our lives. God has always responded to the prayers of His people, and He always will. He is not a man that He should lie and He is not the son of man that He should repent. He gives us the invitation to call upon Him, and He assures us that He will answer and show us great and mighty things. (Jeremiah 33:3) We need to understand that God is keenly interested in us. He loves us. And He wants to answer our requests. The question is, “Do we believe that He will?”

Saying “Yes” is about… surrender, guidance, openness, listening and being fully present. So what would you be saying “yes” too? Let’s start with your Divine Life Purpose. Okay… maybe you know what that is and maybe you don’t.

TWO SONS OF OIL (Zechariah 4:14), for those keen on reading the Word of God, are anointed to supply God’s workers and the work of the LORD with the empowering of the Holy Spirit (Hebrew: ruach). Who those two sons are is disputed: some say they are Zerubbabel (the prince of Judah) and Joshua (the high priest), whilst others are adamant it can only be Haggai and Zechariah (himself) – the prophets. Either way, these images of the two sons of oil are of priest, prophet and king – Christ’s famous messianic offices.

The simplest metaphor for discipleship is the cross; a disciple needs to live a cross-shaped life. The cross-shaped life is a well-known metaphor. As we approach the cross, we first look up, and having a vertical focus, which is to God in the heavens, we remember what he has done for us. This breeds gratitude. Then secondarily, as we arrive at the horizontal beam our Lord’s hands were nailed to, we face our relationships, horizontally, with each other, having first been oriented correctly by God’s love through gratitude, vertically.

A great obstacle and hindrance to answered prayer is disobedience to the known will of God. God has a will, plan and purpose for each and every life. That includes yours and mine. His will is revealed by His written Word, and by His Spirit bearing witness within our hearts, leading, guiding and directing us. If we are to fulfill Divine destiny, we will have to learn His leadership and walk in the light of it.

Many of us, I’m sure, were taught the Lord’s Prayer or, “the Our Father” as a means of penitence after the confessional — aimlessly repeating set-piece words without basic instructional insight or understanding as to their non-literal dynamical value. The Lord’s Prayer, when esoterically understood — as intended by its author — is more powerful than the sum of its words. But merely repeating the words isn’t sufficient in bringing about the level of consciousness intended in the prayer.

Fasting is a spiritual discipline used by Christians to humble them before God to experience God’s presence in their lives and to seek God for clarity and direction inn life. My purpose for fasting was threefold; clarity, understanding and direction.
