Yesterday, I challenged us to make a distinction between two types of “spiritual” nets. There are nets the LORD has designed for us to cast and there are nets the Enemy has designed. Know that as of yesterday – the Enemy’s type net was exposed! Amen…now let’s talk about the nets we should be casting. The net or nets designed by the Holy Spirit comes especially designed for you – it has your name on it. When cast out, it…
Just the other day I had a brief but powerful conversation about nets (yes, nets 😊) which made me remember a few previous postings I made last year regarding nets you may want to look at it. (Feb 1 & 16, 2019) Well, the LORD continues to amaze me regarding the layers of meanings HE can bring to what we may consider a simple word like “net”. There are different types of nets used for the different things trying to…
This morning on the prayer line we began to talk about the importance of “running our race” and to keep going no matter what. This made me think about a poem I use to share with my students years ago called “The Race”. Several listeners were moved by this poem this morning so I thought to share it on this posting. It’s somewhat lengthy but worth every word. Enjoy. The Race by Dr. D.H. “Dee” Groberg Whenever I start to hang…
Know that minor adjustments, made on a continual basis, can lead to major improvements. Sometimes we must adjust ourselves to conditions that are tough but know that the adjustment is what’s needed to get through the circumstance. It’s important to know that adjustment does not mean compromise. With God’s help we can adjust without compromising our testimony or our values. Finally, know that in between faith and obedience is adjustment. Faith + Adjustment = Obedience. This is something we tend to…
I don’t know about you but I’m not going to make resolutions this year – I’ve tried it in the past but didn’t quite make it to February. 😊 I think the best thing to do is make doable, realistic, “adjustments” to things you have control over. On a spiritual note, know that any adjustment God wants us to make is for our good. This type adjustment demonstrates alignment with HIS will which may require an ‘adjustment’ of our viewpoint…
All is such a small word but in the WORD it’s so powerful. There are very familiar verses that use the word “all” – “ALL things work together for good…” (Rom 8:28) “I can do ALL things through Christ that strengthens me…” (Phil 4:13) “…..with God ALL things are possible” (Mark 10:27) But do we really embrace the meaning of the word “ALL”? Do we believe it applies to every situation, every closed or opened door, every breakthrough, every blessing,…
This is an important thought of clarity to know when things we may have first carried as luggage have now become baggage. What does this mean? Well, let’s first think about luggage and its usage. Luggage is what is needed when we are going away somewhere. We use it to pack what is needed for wherever we are going; we unpack things at our destination, repack it to return home, and unpack it when we arrive at home. Ironically, most…
Have you ever discovered that what you were looking for was right at your fingertips? We so often look for answers from other people and in other places; not realizing that this type search blinds us to see what’s within ourselves; what we already have. Have we ever thought to ask God to show us how to use what’s already in our hands in different ways? Perhaps you’ve use it a certain way in the past but it’s not working…
What in the world are you talking about Dr. Robin? 😊 Well, I’m thinking about the passage in Mark 11:12-14 which described Jesus’ reaction to a fig tree that gave the appearance from afar – that it would have figs. Do we ever give the appearance from afar that we “could provide what someone else needs” but we’re really “faking” it. We know it’s not real but if we keep producing the image of productivity, we can convince others as…
What are you talking about Dr. Robin? (smile) Why would we want to be a ‘saucer’ and what’s the cup you want us to be under? Here’s something to think about…Have you ever thought about being under an overflow of blessings and catching what is just enough for you? It is possible… but its initial requirements are humility and an attitude of servitude. Being earnestly and willing under the leadership of a man or woman of God will allow you…
