Love you all, praying for you.
Obedience is a funny thing - it brings the unexpected. You can’t know what it will bring until you do it. And once you do it – it brings things you didn’t expect. When God told me to do PRISM – those 5 things you can do in every day God’s Word – it also came with some things I didn’t expect. I’m surprised at how often God does things things through my PRISM time – totally separate from the Praise the Word, Read the Word, Insight from the Word, Study the Word, and Meditate on the Word – within PRISM itself. Three of the things I didn't expect are - Comebacks, Themes and Veins of Gold. First I’m amazed at how many times – the very next day – God has me come back to the very same PRISM verse - the exact verse I SOAP-ed out yesterday – but a completely new and entirely different revelation. It’s really amazing how many times that actually happens. God’s Word is unending – unfathomable in it’s depth of wisdom, knowledge, understanding and practical application. It literally transforms you every time you come back to it. The Holy Spirit will never run out of new things to reveal. The next unexpected thing God does in PRISM – is themes. It seems like He will lead me in themes – a revelation that I need to address or develop in my character that He keeps building upon or doubling down on - multiple days in a row (like wisdom, or praise, or words). And the third unexpected thing that amazes me about PRISM and what God does through it when He show’s me a vein of gold. In the sales world they used to refer to a vein of gold as following the path that the sale leads you to. Rather than cold-calling - a referral from the same lead or sale leads to another sale and then another. I can’t tell you how many times the S.O.A.P. verse I get from Praise the Word – leads to the same truth from the S.O.A.P. verse in Read the Word, the Insight from the Word verse from Proverbs and even an additional Study the Word verse that all reveal that very same issue, or truth, or character quality. It's like God is trying to broaden my understanding. It’s like He has the same consistent message through the whole day’s PRISM – just leading me step by step in how to do it, and become it. Maybe He realizes I’m just a little slow sometimes, or maybe He just has so much that He needs me to grow in – so He can get me to the next thing that He’s been waiting to help me do! So thankful for PRISM - that habit that keeps me coming back to His Word. It’s life, it’s hope, it’s wisdom and success and encouragement, and specific instruction – it really is God loving you through His Word. He still speaks! Every time you do PRISM – you are talking with Him, getting a real conversation, not a drive-by - where He actually communicates specific things that you need to know! Praying that the Holy Spirit keeps drawing you back to PRISM throughout the day - it’s life for you. All the good stuff He has for you – comes from it. Praying that PiVAT has you obeying, that PRISM has you becoming - and your Daily Call has you overcoming with the testimony that He gives. Praying that you will join or start your next PiVAT Small Group - so that everything God reveals will be multiplied through the testimony of people who just want to fully obey like you. Like Jesus did... Can’t wait to hear what He reveals. Praying that comebacks and themes and veins of gold will lead you to be more like Him - fully prepared for the next level of good that He has for you. Love you all, dad
