Devote 8 and feel Great! 3-14-16

Who isn't in search of a better night's sleep? There is a latent, reprogramming window, moment of time that we all engage in daily, it's called sleep. What if you turned this area over to God to work with.

There are many that claim they can not fall asleep unless listening to something or having the TV on.
This is why this topic has been brought to my attention so many times. It's a daily practice that when harnessed well and used to create a positive, inner spirit health consciousness, can prove to be so effective in overall wellness.

 An unprotected consciousness leads to troubles and anxiety. A protected consciousness leads to wisdom and steadfast humility.

There is a handy APP, for smart phones and  iPhone and Tablets, its called You Bible
it allows you to pick a chapter and then hit the speaker symbol and the play button. You can listen to the Word of God using loop feature (mostly uninterrupted) all night long.

Even though you are not fully conscious your precious and vulnerable self conscious is very aware and is sifting, storing and making use of whatever you feed it. TV= Garbage, terror, silliness, mindlessness. Or, the Word of God; hope, history, help, heaven on earth.

As good stewards we are called to make the most of what is given us, our breath, our life, our finances, friendships, service and our rest. We are told to Rest in Him, this is very literal in this case. You can rest in His word.

You will be surprised how this simple act can affect your next day and each day to follow. I won't spoil it, but you'll come to appreciate the unique blissful rest

Hear instruction and be wise, And do not disdain it. Blessed is the man who
listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors”
(Proverbs 8:33-34).

John 10:4-5
“And the sheep follow him, for
they know his voice. Yet they
will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for
they do not know the
voice of strangers.”

John 10:27
“My sheep hear My voice, and
I know them, and they follow Me

Closer than close 3-7-16

 Ever have that friend or partner where you shared inside jokes, could finish each others sentences, read their mind and know PRECISELY what they were thinking just with a look? In fact, the two of you had your own secret language and it delighted you both, to interact this way as doing so just built the bond of trust and friendship all the more!

I have been very fortunate in my life to have had this many times. I have a handful of very close wonderful friends. I had such a close bond with my Mother too.

Jesus wants to have this close of an intimate relationship with us too! In fact, it is more for our benefit. He loves us so much, He desires to build that special language, so that in times of need or hardship we can find our way to His words with ease and simplicity.

When times are great, He wants to be turned to like you would to a dear old friend whom you'd hug around the neck and cross miles to celebrate with!

So, if you do not have this type of closeness with God and our Lord, you might ask, "how do I?"..."how does one get that?"

For starters, you must desire it. From there, it is helpful to pray to the Lord and ask Him specifically to help you cultivate this close relationship with Him! From there it is a good practice to set aside time to read His word to us, (The Bible) daily! Throughout the day, speak to God, in your mind, with your mouth, write to Him, however you communicate best. God is very cooperative and understanding toward our limited thinking and denseness toward His clues. If He outright just spoke to you, audibly, it might shock you. He wouldn't want to do that. So, instead, He finds countless ways to place things in your path to confirm to you that He hears you. To show you by example that answer that you are seeking. He always always answers, except sometimes we are too bent on our desire to accept His solution!

If you have a question about whether or not you should do something, ask God to show you the answer. If necessary, develop and stipulate what your Yes (looks like, sounds like, smells like, feels like) and also do the same thing for what your "NO" answer would be like. This way, when He sends you those answers, you will know that He heard and that He answered. Always apply common sense. Don't get too caught up in some metaphysical sign but do begin to create a mental and spiritual dialogue with Him that is personal to you and how God can effectively use your presets to communicate through.

John 15:13

¹³ Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Prov 8:17 “I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.”

Zeph 3:17 “The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

1 John 4:19 “We love Him because He first loved us.”

Acts 4:12 “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

John 1:12-13 “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God
