*Starting our morning and day off great with the 10-minute Weekday Blog*
Our first DAILY blog, every Weekday in JUNE!

Thank you for joining us for this
ground-breaking JOURNEY
...
through the 1st CHAPTER of Keith's book,
Keep the FAITH…Keep Your VISION”!

If you will read this book in its entirety, then you will be equipped
to begin walking with the confidence and authority that Jesus Christ
came and died to provide for us, in order that we may work *with*
Him, be *fulfilled* in our work, lead a *successful life*, and...

      


Day TEN,
Paragraph TEN:

    
The way we think is not the way God thinks, and God wants us to repent of our sinful ways, turn around, and seek Him with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength (see Mark 12:30). During His earthly ministry, the Lord Jesus Christ often pointed out the backwards thinking of humanity, knowing that part of 
'the joy that was set before Him' for enduring the cross (see Hebrews 12:2), as He explained to His disciples, would be The Holy Spirit's coming to help us open our spiritual eyes to God's point of view. In great part, that joy that filled Christ's heart was knowing, better than anyone could ever know, just how crucially important the Holy Spirit is to our coming to understand God's ways and the true meaning of His Word. In the passage of Matthew 6:31-33 (scripture passage written in bold below), the Lord instructs us with regard to the basic care of the body and of the soul.

Question to ponder:
Are you familiar with the way that a passage of Scripture that speaks to something you're going through at the very time you read it can, weeks later, speak to something completely different that you're going through at that later time?  _________________________________________

Keith's "Comments from the Author":
"Anyone who has had the honor and privilege of meeting the Holy Spirit (in person) can attest to this fact: Wherever He goes, order and understanding are established. When you are standing with the Person of the Holy Spirit, the knowledge of God flows through every fiber of your being! And, the best way I know to describe this is, when I was with Him, I was remembering Scriptures that I had read ever since I was a young boy, and I was overcome with God's wonder as He began imparting to me the true meaning of each Scripture verse, simultaneously. I was very aware of how I was being bathed in understanding of exactly what God wanted me to understand at that moment. What I came away with amazed me beyond words! As God's Spirit brought to memory each verse I had studied, each definition He put into my spirit was remarkably different from what I had heard preached and taught over the years. The truth is really that God's ways are not just higher than our ways, but His ways are higher multiplied times infinity, times infinity, and more! When I met the Holy Spirit, everything went straight into my spirit, with no attention given to my physical body. In fact, my body was of no concern to Him whatsoever while I was present with Him. I was made keenly aware that my spirit is who I really am, and, in fact, because my body was not there to hinder my ability to stand with Him, I was able to enjoy the most wonderful experience I have ever had in my life. When 1 Peter 1:6-9 talks about 'rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory', there is no way we can truly understand that Scripture's intensity until we stand with God Himself. And the 'unspeakable' part, when you experience God, is when you're hit with the indescribable reality that the way we communicate here on earth, even with the strongest and most emphatic words of our language, cannot even begin to relay the WONDER that IS God. Even the word 'wonder' doesn't begin to describe Him! All praise, honor, and glory to our wonder-full LORD GOD!"

"Therefore take no thought do not worry, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. ( Matthew 6:31-33)


WE PRAY YOU HAVE A FUN WEEKEND...
... FILLED with fresh visions of God!
... FILLED with unfathomable joy in Christ Jesus!
... FILLED with wisdom that only the Person of The Holy Spirit brings!


*See you Monday, and invite your friends too! God bless and keep you!*
