Before Dinner

Love you all, praying for you,
 
I just love God’s Word.  It tells of patterns that work!  Do you take time every day before dinner to do PiVAT for tomorrow?  Do you invest those five minutes with God to get His plans for you?  Or have you fallen off a little… You don’t have to… but it is so worth it.  It doesn’t take long, and it keeps you focused on what God wants for you.  So you don’t get stuck with what you want, or really… what the enemy wants for you… missing out on God’s best.    PiVAT is four questions to get God’s plans for you.   The secret is – these are not questions to answer, they are questions to ask.  Ask God, He will tell you – He promised.  Why do PiVAT before dinner?  #1 To Get God’s plan for you for tomorrow.  So you can hit the ground running!  #2  So you can pray with your spouse before bed – the exact thing that you both need most from God, and the number one thing He’s telling you to do.  If you pray for each other – you’ll get God’s counsel, the Godly counsel of your number one counselor (other than the Holy Spirit), your spouse.  Plus, you’ll be far more likely to complete what He told you, and notice when He gives you what you need most.  Why do PiVAT before dinner?  #3  So you can be reminded of what He told you to do today – so you can finish strong, so you leave nothing on the table that He told you to do.  You don’t have time to do tomorrow what He told you to do today, and you don’t have time to do tomorrow anything He didn’t tell you to do.  Leave that for others – you do what He told you!  Why do PiVAT before dinner?  #4 So God can give you counsel in the night season.  When your mind is at rest, your spirit is open to His influence and guidance.  He gives counsel in the night season, He speaks to your heart so it can instruct you…  This is spirit, not mind.  It’s how He confirms what He has for you, or can tweak what you heard, so you hear him more completely.  He is faithful.  If you ask Him for His plans for you for tomorrow, He won’t tell you next week!  He said He will never give you a stone if you ask for a piece of bread.  Part of your daily bread is the plans He has for you today.  Just like part of your daily bread is His Word for you today.  PiVAT and PRISM are what help you offer your life as a living sacrifice, and be transformed by the renewing of your mind so you can prove what his good and acceptable, and complete will is for you.  Praying that you’ll never neglect PiVAT before dinner each day – the difference between your plans and God’s plans for you is the difference between your way and God’s way.  His is way better – like heavens are above earth.  He has good for you and He wants you to walk in it.  He’ll go first, He’ll walk with you in it, and give you all the power you need – it’s called grace. 

Love you all,
