Love you all, praying for you.

God showing me things this morning.  When God shows you something its for a reason, it’s probably not what you expected, it increases your knowledge and understanding, and it’s in His perfect timing.  Every time God shows you something – the next thing that comes – is the moment of truth.   #1) Do you believe what He just said (First, you gotta that it was Him that said it, and not your own thoughts that came up with it – that’s what the liar, the other guy, the devil, will always try to tell you every time God speaks to you - and brings something to your heart or mind) and #2) Will you do it immediately – or think about it for a while (perverse – a reluctance to obey, delayed obedience, entertaining in your mind- reasons not to – or other alternatives)  How quickly do you obey?  What’s your reaction time - to things He tells you? Your turnaround time?  That’s why PRISM is so very, very important.  PRISM – 5 things you can do in God’s Word every day – is what keeps you coming back to the WORD, His truth.  The more exposed you are to His Word, the more truth you will recognize, and be able to walk in – to appropriate for yourself.  And the more you are in PRISM – the more the Holy Spirit can bring to your attention – to remind you of – to bring back to your memory and your consciousness at the exact time you need it. 

This morning I woke up with a blasting headache.  Poor timing – I have so much to do today.  It’s funny there is such a difference between natural and spiritual – what first comes to mind, is not always what’s on God’s mind.  And in that moment as I’m waking up – I recognize this pounding headache – what first comes to mind is “Take something.”   Isn’t it interesting – what first comes to mind.  When we have a headache – take something – when we have a cold – take something – when we have insomnia – take something.  And in these split seconds as I’m gaining consciousness from a night’s sleep, God puts in my spirit – Proverbs 17:22 – A cheerful heart is good medicine… but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.  And God started giving me some observations about dry bones...  The thing about dry bones – they are easily broken.  What wouldn’t normally break a bone – half the stress or pressure can snap it – if it’s dry.  Dry bones break, they lack strength.  A crushed spirit dries bones.  A spirit that is crushed versus a spirit that is vibrant is simply what consumes it.  What occupies and pre-occupies the mind.  A crushed spirit isn’t a crushed body, it’s a heavy, burdened, weighed-down mind.  It makes bones dry – easily broken.  How are your bones?  Is your mind weighed-down? by what?  What did God say about that thing - that's trying to weigh you down?  God says - a cheerful heart is good medicine.  That word cheerful – sameach - <saw-may’-akh> means merry, glad, joyful, gleeful from samach <saw-makh’> to brighten up, to be or make gleesome, cheer up, be or make (oneself or others) glad, to make joyful, re-joice – take joy again, to make merry.  Cheerful is a choice, Cheerful is something you can do – it’s medicine you can take.  You can choose cheerfulness.    Cheer – to dispel gloom, sorrow, silence, or apathy. To gladden, to make cheerful, to be of good cheer – Cheer – a state of gladness or joy, above gloom and depression of spirits.  Cheerful – full of cheer – lively, animated, full of life, expressive of joy.  Animated - takes some energy, it requires something from you.  A cheerful heart – is what’s in your heart.  A heart is formed by words, and words reveal what is formed in the heart.  As God is revealing this medicine to me – that I should take – I just started thinking about and just started thanking Him for the blessings of the last few days – what God is doing, in me and in others.  He's on a roll!  Testimonies I’ve heard of people obeying in the little things, in the crazy things, and God just showing up and showing out.  Answered prayers, opportunities, God making himself obvious – and rewarding obedience.  And suddenly – I noticed …  “My headache is gone.”  Completely!  It was amazing!  And then I remembered last night before dinner.  I didn’t eat until late last night  - I didn’t get done working until 8:15 pm – needed to take a shower and grab dinner – but God reminded me – PiVAT before dinner.  “Oh, I’ll just do it before bed…  I’m really hungry and I need to take a shower.”  And God said "No, PiVAT before dinner."  So I sat down and did it.  It never takes very long – God reveals exactly what I need to know for tomorrow – as much as He chooses to reveal.  And as I drew the lines and the columns, and asked that first PiVAT question -  What do you need most from God today?…  I just asked him and waited.  And what He put in my spirit – was something that I had never written down in my PiVAT before – in years of doing PiVAT before dinner.  He said “Amazement.”  What I need most from God for tomorrow is - Amazement.  I thought that was odd at the time, but when I said to myself this morning - "That's amazing" when my headache disappeared after "taking the medicine" He told me to take.  The moment those words came out of my mouth - God reminded me - that was exactly what He told me I needed - during PiVAT before dinner.  If I hadn't obeyed this morning, I wouldn't have seen it.  And if I hadn't obeyed last night - I wouldn't have heard what He wanted to tell me.  I’ve found God is always more amazing when we do what He tells us.  And while I can’t promise that taking your medicine - of choosing cheerful -  will instantly remove every sniffle, cough or papercut.  I can tell you that every time I have obeyed what God revealed to me – as soon as I heard it – there is always a reward: joy, peace, healing, hope, contentment – something...  Praying that you will hear from God today – that PiVAT before dinner will let Him direct your steps and reveal what He is about to do.  That PRISM will give Him things to work with – that you will take your medicine, and always choose a cheerful heart, and that you would overcome by your testimony – and that every testimony you say, and every testimony you hear – will add to your cheer. 

Love you all,
dad
