Daily Huddle - Tue Jun 16, 2020 Make Sure It's Working

Love you all, praying for you,
 
Praise God, His Word is so good.  So thankful for PRISM that keeps you in it – and teaches you how to hear God speaking to you personally!  He’s always giving one more thing!  Psalms 128:1 – Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways.  To Fear God, means you walk in His ways.  First is discerning what they are, next is doing it.  Like a running back seeing the opening and making the cut.  You can’t walk in His ways if you cannot distinguish between God’s ways, and the way that seems right… If you’re in man’s way of doing things for so long – you become deaf, blind, and numb to the difference.  You don't even notice... your discerner is broken - you could be in for a hard landing.  Why do people miss God’s Ways – when His Word is so clear?  “Well why would anyone do that?  It doesn’t make sense, it would cost me more money... nobody else does that, everyone does it this way.  I don’t know anyone doing it that way.  All kinds of reasons why God’s Ways aren’t discerned or followed.  That’s how people’s discerners get broken.   That’s why instant in obedience is the most important skill you can have.  If you don’t obey quickly, you probably won’t obey at all.  The longer you wait, the more you find reason not to.  The more you think about it, and roll it over in your mind, the more likely you will end up choosing the contrary.  That’s the definition of perversity – a reluctance to obey – thinking instead of the alternatives until you choose them over obedience, or move on to other things without obeying what God told you.  Perverse tongue, perverse lips – always finding the reasons not to obey.  God hates it.  There are always plenty of reasons not to.  It’s just that none of them are valid or legitimate.  You can tell those who fear God – they walk in His ways.  These are the mature – who fear God, who walk in His ways.  Hebrews 5:13 – Anyone who lives on milk being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching on righteousness.  But solid food is for the mature who through constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.  If you have to be trained to distinguish good from evil, it means they are sometimes hard to discern.  What seems right, isn’t right, what seems just isn’t just.  How do you train yourself to recognize the difference? How do you make sure your discerner is working?  Instant in obedience is the constant use Hebrews is talking about.  Quick Obedience in the little, the simple, the easy.  Don’t just walk away from the mirror and forget what you look like.  Obey immediately.  That’s why PiVAT is so important – it teaches you to obey in the little – what does God have for you this hour?  Do it!  Does it really matter what order – yes.  You first learn to obey in the little.  Ask Him, He’ll tell you – learn to hear His voice, and build the habit of obeying instantly – whatever God tells you.  Quick Obedience! It might not even be for this thing – but for the bigger thing that’s coming.  Great athletes don’t think, they react – they have trained themselves to respond.  The Top 10 highlights – the greatest plays – the great run by the running back – was not a consideration – it was a reaction – his training became his instinct without thinking.  Every time you obey immediately you crush perversity – you don't even let it take root in you or come out of your mouth – you are already obeying.   It’s how you learn to walk in His ways.  It’s how you fear Him.  Obey in the little and not only will you discern the big stuff, you will be so used to responding immediately that when God tells you to speak to the mountain, cross the Red Sea, or slay giants, you’re instant obedience will be so ingrained it will be a reaction not a consideration.  You will see His power through your obedience before you even consider an alternative to obeying.  That’s why PiVAT is so important, and PRISM is so important and 4C’s and your Daily Call.  It’s how you learn to Fear God by doing what He tells you – He confirms it in His Word.  It’s discernment training – it’s prospering, It’s how you are moving forward in your purpose in all the good He has for you.  You get it by obeying.  You see it, discern it, and walk in it – by obeying.  It’s the joy generator.  Praying for you – that you are always obeying, discerning, fearing God and walking in His best for you.
