“Father, into thy hands, I commit my spirit (Luke 23:46).”

“Father, into thy hands, I commit my spirit (Luke 23:46).”

The last recorded prayer of Jesus was, “Father, into thy hands; I commit my spirit.” This statement demonstrates that Jesus, our example of what it means to fully human and fully divine, was completely turning his will and his ways over to God. Pray about it until you have peace. Once you have peace about it, allow the process to unfold, knowing the Principle of Divine Timing. Everything is happening exactly when it is supposed to happen.

The scripture is true, “the door that God opens no one can shut (Revelation 3:7).” Whenever God has a blessing to give, you will receive it when you are ready for it regardless of the thoughts and opinions of others. God opens the doors of opportunity to meet your needs and to fulfill the good desires of your heart. The same verse says, “the door that God shuts, no one can open (Revelation 3:7).” Sometimes the shut door means “wait” because something on either side of the door is not ready for the door to open. No matter how long you knock on the door until both parties are ready, the door will remain closed.

Put it in God’s hands, knowing that whenever God closes one door, God opens another, and whatever is behind the open door is always better than what is behind the closed door. Leave the closed door and find the open door of opportunity. Trust the process, knowing that God’s will for you is Absolute Good. Pray for this or something better and leave it to God. Don’t function in your ego, busting the window out of closed doors to get what you want. Pray for the right and the perfect result, and let it go. Spare yourself heartache, pain, and embarrassment. Pray for the highest and the best and release your need to control it. God knows what and when is best for you to receive.

Using the Prayer Tool of Witnessing and Sharing Your Testimony with Others as symbolized by the Measuring Tape, document and share with at least one other person an experience where prayer and patience resulted in a delightful demonstration.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
