Good Morning!
First I just want to ask how everything is going?
I am working on your second teaching video today and prayed for everyone this morning. I will post the new video for next week again this SUNDAY.
BUT FOR NOW...Lets stay focused on session one!
Here is today's Run lesson
DAY 2
Prepare to Succeed
Train yourself to be Godly. For physical training is of some value, but Godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:7-8
On page 17 in the bottom paragraph I talk about the energy that is felt at the starting line of a race event. I stated that "Being part of a excited community of eager runners really gets your juices flowing"
Well...I want to share with you a visual made from a friend that is struggling in her marriage.
Sometimes we know what is right but we feel so weak in our faith. We arrive at the staring line with no energy and basically crawled to the starting gate not excited one bit.
I want to encourage someone today.
If you feel that you have crawled to the starting line out of obedience, that is ok. God is meeting you where you are!
Allow God to place you back on your feet, let the knees feel wobbly. The Holy spirit will comfort and move you to the next mile marker.
Thank you for choosing to train that is the FIRST big step in preparing to succeed.
LET'S CHAT: (Answer one or all-we just love to hear from you)
R=Read Scripture Today take a look at 1 Timothy 4:7-8 listed at the top of this page. Take a moment to think about the VALUE that will come out of your obedience to train. Picture the vision of what the value looks like in your family life.
U=Understand & Observe
Allow God to speak to you from today's work. How have you experienced an "AHA MOMENT" for Day 2?
Again it could be a thought or a simple statement or a truth repeated
N=Note and Notice Page 14-15 Davids Cave Experience.
David Chose to trust God. How did Psalm 51:7 speak to you?
Did you pinpoint your disaster or troubling circumstance in your life. Take note on that and pray that back to God.
Feel free to share the pinpoint and release if that helps.
Join the conversation below in the comments
remember God promises us in Genesis 28:15 " I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you"
You showed up to the starting line and now God is going to begin to speak and reveal things to you! Embrace your race...
LETS CHAT: Share your answers in the comment section
answer question just 1 or answer all 3. Again this is just community feed back time! But I would love to hear from you!
DAY 1 A Runner
Using the illustration above this is how I will post three questions for the days work.
I will use the acronym RUN
R = Read scripture
Please take a look at the MAIN memory verse for the study.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27, take a moment a write this verse out on an index card or a nice piece of paper. keep this close to you. I also have this on my home screen for my phone.
Keep this close by and begin memorizing.
I would love to see your pictures of the verse. I will post a picture of mine!
U=Understand and observe, allow God to speak to you through today's work. How have you experienced an "AHA MOMENT" in this days work?
N=Note and notice what is revealed in this statement.
Page 6 top paragraph.
Our relationship with Christ is activated in the same way: once we become believers, the Holy Spirit is set up within us, The spirit will help you learn and grow and run in such a way. The holy spirit is your race sensor. I want you to stop and acknowledge that very important part of this entire study. We will be coming up on some HARD mile in the weeks to come and the Holy Spirit will comfort and teach you all truth. As a matter of fact you could be struggling with a hurt from childhood and the Holy spirit is the only activated force that can comfort, heal and restore.
Have you activated that faith in Christ by asking Him to come into your life and heart as Lord and Savior?
Do you feel you have let the spirit inside perhaps take a little snooze?
Are you just simply hungry and ready to dive deeper and activate the spirit even more through a fresh work of believing and acting on that truth?
How are you currently walking or lets say 'running' in the spirit today?
The average believer does not understand this concept of spiritual activation as an exercise of faith.
This my friends is the key to running with adventure.
A full abundant, purposeful, fruitful life starts by activating the spirit.
If you feel you have been living in spiritual defeat--powerless and fruitless, wondering around-there is HOPE for you.
If you would like comment and share how you're feeling at the starting line today!
Have a blessed day
