“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.

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 ...

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God.

So God can get the...

There’s a Grace on Your Life

  There’s a Grace on Your Life "By grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."    Ephesians 2:8 (KSB)    In Ephesians chapter 2, one word stands out repeatedly: grace . But what is grace? Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His love poured out on us, not based on anything we've done or failed to do. It’s not about what we think or don’t think. It’s simply a gift. A beautiful, divine surprise.  Imagine receiving an unexpected bonus at work, you did your job, and suddenly you're given more than you earned. That’s grace. It comes when you least expect it and fills you with joy and wonder. This is how God extends His grace freely, abundantly, and lovingly.  Throughout Ephesians 2, Paul highlights how grace is woven into our salvation. “By grace you are saved” means you didn’t do it yourself. Salvation is the awakening in your spirit to the truth that  you are God's beloved .   ...
