Do You Journal?
A constant conversation with God is such a good thing. We all have them, but not all of us journal. I journal a lot. When God speaks to me through people, or devotions, or articles, or however and when ever during the day, I keep it in my personal journal. I hope you enjoy this post, it may be a sloppy post, but it is fun, chocked full of different things God is saying. God always has a lot to say, so listen up, because He still speaks and He speaks constantly. A great spiritual habit to have is journaling. You can keep it on your computer as I do for a lot of my journals or you can write, whatever floats your boat. The point is, we human beings have short memories, but that is not the main point. We were created for relationship with God and each other and what makes those relationships good is when we share, adding value to each other. My whole life is open to God. I don’t have any compartments of my life where He is not able to be or to speak and where He is not teaching me how to be intentionally kingdom cultured. That is why this is a Constant Conversation with God and it does not exclude any part of who I am.
Intentionally Kingdom Cultured
I was thinking about how I could not even number the times of my life where assumption has derailed me in my pursuit of a relationship with God and others. So many times, God has asked me to change it up, to not let myself be led by speculation or theory. I regret not changing sooner, it would have saved me a lot of relational pain and personal heartache. I realize it is never too late to change, but the regrets, they linger. I do want to be wholly-holy Yours, so I will focus on this day Jesus, I will think truth and not allow assumptions any place in my mind-thoughts, words, or actions. I lean on You today Holy Spirit and pray for the mind of Christ to be at the center of my thoughts, His kingdom perceptions to be my perspective.
Good Morning Manna
He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you except to be just, and to love [and to diligently practice] kindness (compassion), and to walk humbly with your God [setting aside any overblown sense of importance or self-righteousness]? Micah 6:7-9 Amplified Bible
Think On This
1 Corinthians 2:16 Who has ever intimately known the mind of the Lord Yahweh well enough to become his counselor? Christ has, and we possess Christ’s perceptions.
1 Corinthians 2:16 That is, we believers possess the Holy Spirit, who reveals the thoughts and purposes of Christ. The revelation of the kingdom of God that Jesus preached was not understood by the intellect of men but by those who welcomed his truth. Humanly speaking, no one can understand the mysteries of God without the Holy Spirit. Those Those who have the Holy Spirit now possess the perceptions of Christ’s mind and can implement his purposes on the earth.who have the Holy Spirit now possess the perceptions of Christ’s mind and can implement his purposes on the earth. TPT Footnote
AWE-GOD Word Inspiration
Develop Your Awe Of God Through The Word Of GOD ~ As I read the Word and encounter the reality of truth about our Awe-GOD, I am so inspired by Him and it helps to increase my Awe of Him. It is easy to respect, honor and reverence God when my Awe-GOD is stirred up daily by the Word of God.
Who fully understands the Spirit of Yahweh or is wise enough to counsel him? Whom does he consult to be enlightened? Who teaches him the ways of justice? Who imparts knowledge to him or shows him the true path of wisdom? Even the nations are to him like a drop in a bucket, regarded as nothing more than dust on a scale. He picks up the islands like fine grains of sand. All of Lebanon’s trees are not enough firewood for him, nor are all its animals enough for a burnt offering. The nations are nothing in his eyes; he regards them as absolutely nothing. Idols Cannot Be Compared to God. Who even comes close to being compared to God? How could you ever compare God to an idol?? Isaiah 40:13-19 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Reality Of Truth – Debunk Lies
I don’t want to be spoon fed by anyone, I seek truth for myself. I have looked for a long time to replace the main stream media I was watching. They have disappointed me by their lack of regard for truth. Because they believe one way and their politics has a say-so, all their reporting has gone in the direction of their personal bias. I don’t consider them journalists anymore. They have not told us the truth, and have kept the truth from us, giving us their false narrative that supports their political leanings. This is not journalism. So I shut them all off and sought for people who are responsible with truth, because I don’t want to be spoon fed someone’s fake reality. Dan Bongino is one of the one’s I have found who researches and seeks the reality of truth. I don’t consider the media of our country main stream anymore. Their poo-poo politics approach to journalism has caused so many people to just shut them off. I am one of those who seeks alternative news sources like Dan Bongino, who I have found to be credible and full of facts that can be documented and that he also proves through other documentation that he provides in his show notes.

Think On This
“How much are the people in your life a source of personal frustration? How often do you give in to the stress and do things that do not honor Christ or incarnate His character? How often do you see people honor Christ or incarnate His character? How often do you see people as obstacles to ministry rather than objects of it? Whom have you given up on? We have been loved by Christ and called to incarnate that self-sacrificing love wherever He places us. Do people sense that love in you?” Paul David Tripp Excerpt From “Instruments In The Redeemer’s Hand”
“I fear that many of us offer care that doesn’t cure because, from the outset, our eyes are to focused on the problem, that we miss the person and the struggles within.” Paul Tripp
Be So! Intentionally Kingdom Cultured
Incarnate The Love Of Christ In Your Relationships With People
Love One Another~2 You are always and dearly loved by God! So robe yourself with virtues of God, since you have been divinely chosen to be holy. Be merciful as you endeavor to understand others, and be compassionate, showing kindness toward all. Be gentle and humble, unoffendable in your patience with others. Tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the same way you have been graciously forgiven by Jesus Christ. If you find fault with someone, release this same gift of forgiveness to them. For love is supreme and must flow through each of these virtues. Love becomes the mark of true maturity. Let your heart be always guided by the peace of the Anointed One, who called you to peace as part of his one body. And always be thankful.
Let the word of Christ live in you richly, flooding you with all wisdom. Apply the Scriptures as you teach and instruct one another with the Psalms, and with festive praises and with prophetic songs given to you spontaneously by the Spirit, so sing to God with all your hearts! Let every activity of your lives and every word that comes from your lips be drenched with the beauty of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. And bring your constant praise to God the Father because of what Christ has done for you! Colossians 3:12-17 The Passion Translation
My Thoughts About The Change Needed
Some areas of my life are really good with this word, other areas are so far from this, as God put it: the mark of true maturity. I am definitely “marked” at times and it is not with maturity. I know that is why this year God is going to work some more of His characteristics in my life, so my life is more of a picture of being wholly-holy His. I have a human condition which sometimes gets yielded to in the heat of relational battles. People frustrate me at times and in my Italian nature, my virtuous life is not experienced when I get caught up in what I want, in the need to be right or when I am suddenly offended by someone really mean spirited. So, I need this year of learning to become intentionally kingdom cultured. The other day God spoke to my heart that relationships that I am in, I don’t own them, He does. He sets us up purposefully in all kinds of relationships, but the bottom line is, they are of His making and He owns them, working His purposes through them to change us up to His way, truth and life. Interesting thought… I will have to chew on that one.
