Entering into Our Promised Land
I'm pleased about this day. This day has just been moving along really quickly, and we are at the end of June. Today my meditation has really been on "Jesus comforts his disciples about peace."  We don't have to live this life without order. Jesus comforts us. It says in John 14:10 (TPT), “Don't worry or surrender to your fear. For you've believed in God, now trust and believe in me also.” I like that promise. Jesus says for us, “Don't worry or surrender to your fear.”  It’s so easy in this day and age to surrender to fear to give into it.  Jesus promised us that we can rest in him. He says, "My Father's house has many dwelling places. If it were otherwise, I would tell you plainly because I go to prepare a place for you to rest."

Obviously. Now that's why it's essential to discover where is your promise land and start working the land. We’ve been talking about the Promised Land and how to enter into it. The Promised Land is what God has placed in your heart for you to cultivate and grow. He has put it there so that we can become what He intended for us to be. We can depend on the promises of God.

I have been thinking about tribes. We need to find like-minded people who can come and join us in the discovery of our Promised Land. They have been assigned to us.  Who are the friends that God has entrusted to you?  Those people are not just your friends, but they are your comrades in the kingdom. In Kingdom building, they're going to have to push you along in the dream which is the vision that God has for you. So those are the friends that we want to get close to.

With the process of developing our God-given Promise Land and friendships that He has assigned to us, we're going to have peace. Because we know that we're not alone. We’re going to have peace because Jesus has promised us the Holy Spirit, who is the Comforter. He has been assigned to us to. Therefore He will not leave us. He will be with us. Jesus is giving us like-minded people - friends who also will be there to advise us and to comfort us. They will cherish us and fill us with love. Hopefully, they will encourage us and have our back as we go through the process of fulfilling the purpose.  The vision that God has given us.

Every one of us has a dream.  It’s up to us to figure it out and get busy working our land.  God has given each and every one of us our Promised Land.  Abraham went out on faith and discovered his promised land. To this day, the promises that God made to Abraham are being fulfilled. He is a father of many nations and that his countries are prosperous. If God did it for Abraham, then He will fulfill His promise to us if we have faith. God keeps his promises.  When God gives guarantees, He's not just giving hopes for you, but He's also giving you promises into the next generation.  He sees the whole picture. We only see this little time frame of where we are right now in our lives.  But God, he sees into the future. He sees the full picture. He intends to bless us.

We are part of a more excellent Vision.   Someone would say it's a tapestry. We're just one little thread. We need to make sure that we make it through the fabric so that we can add to the beauty of what God is designing.

Goodness Rules! He who shuts his ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in his own time of need. Proverbs 21:13 TLB Lady Wisdom asks, “Why do you ignore the vulnerable and weak among you?” Jesus Christ in his ministry on Earth specially came to change the conditions of the poor and needy. He wanted them to know that they do not have to be poor anymore. The Bible says that He, Jesus went around doing good. He even fed the people and looked out for their well-being. Min istry to the poor is part of the Christian calling. We are to not overlook the poor. Something very troubling in our society is the disregard for the less fortunate. The spirit of greed seems to be rising in the places and institutions that were considered to be a support system for the needy. Churches, schools, hospitals, and government appear to be overtaken by individuals who only see them as ways to make money. It is abusive in nature. These institutions, which use to be people-focused, are now, profit-...

Dr. Cindy Trimm my Spiritual Mentor The words of Dr. Cindy Trimm have guided me on my wisdom journey. Wisdom from the Elders - those who have already gone that way of difficult living can impart knowledge to us through their experiences and insights. They carry much knowledge so we shouldn't neglect what they have to say. We should pay attention to what was said. It might not necessarily apply to the present scenario situations that we experience today. Yet, there are nuggets of truth in their words. The elders (our parents and spiritual mentors) were probably referencing their time or era. Their understanding of the situation may be conceptualized from their point of reference. As I was reading Proverbs 1: 8 (AMP), “My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not reject the teaching of your mother.” These are the words of wisdom that spoke to my soul. A father's exultation requires wisdom. "My child listen when your father gives correction." We sh...

"For the reverence and fear (respect) of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. I, Wisdom will make the hours of your life more fruitful. Wisdom is its own reward, and if you scorn her, you hurt only yourself." Proverbs 9:10-12, Living Bible Lady Wisdom asks, “Who do you respect?” As a society we need to get back to basics. Acknowledging that there is a God, sets our feet on a solid foundation for life. It will produce boundaries for our daily living. It is like having a constitution for our lives. We know the truth – God is. He is the “I Am.” Having this respect for God, helps us to respect his creation, the world and everything that is in it. I think because we know that there is someone bigger and greater than us, compels us to be accountable to that person. Believing in God causes us to live with integrity. We are not just living for ourselves but also to please God. Our parents play a role in our lives as bein...
