A Boss Baby

Add caption

Yikes! Have you seen that first flick of the Boss Baby? Can you imagine being led by a baby Boss? Certainly one must be trained for the area of work they desired to be positioned in for hopefully good pay, and of course advancement within said company. Yet there is that "one thing" that one must remember and that is to be diligent to do the best work one can do and especially in knowing when we are doing it unto the Lord.
Of recent days, the house is painted a new color. In this process you find those who desire to do the job, show up early and get started quickly to finish their assigned painting for the day. Yesterday proved futile with the winds gusting to 35 miles per hour, but today is beautiful indeed and very little wind to stop the required work!
One shows up for the job and gets started early, but the other comes much, much later and gives their expertise on the subject. Again, we must be willing to learn but would be more apt to learn from someone who loved their job!

It was like the teen who wanted a job at the  local Hardware Store in this town called Carson. Yet, in the writing of this article in a letter to the editor of  the local paper, the young teen required a minimum of 35 dollars to start and wanted Saturday and Sunday off! Now I wonder when he was going to work and if there is that place that pays the clean-up person the minimum of 35 dollars to start...where can I speak with these folks! Now if school is out, then most likely he could work during the summer, but still this was while school was in session.

Education and training is very important. As our grand-daughter points out she is learning her math to see clearly the ingredients for her recipes she loves to prepare with her mother and dad! Her dad has created some games to play with coins and the such to learn algebra.
 It takes study time within a classroom or quiet place alone and time to actually do the work yourself and not use some kind of instrument to get the correct answer. Kids today are allowed calculators in what, the 4th grade? Not sure how one could learn the process of working the math out, if a machine or piece of handheld equipment does the answering for you.
For me I have always loved reading, and finding out information from history, from the Bible to learning what recipes came from which country!  (Consider this: it was stated that Sir Walter Raleigh brought the potato back from the Americas and it was promptly introduced at the royal court of Queen Elizabeth. The group viewed it and then ate it raw! Since that time England swings with the new concoction of fish and chips. And if you are in England try them, they are oh so good!)

To learn anything, takes time and the willingness to study to acquire that place of knowing good information that equates with going somewhere with that which one can stand on and not that which equates no quality, which brings pain, darkness and no favor anywhere.

Anyone seeking that study time will seriously seek some good  time and generally alone time in a quiet room. My quiet time is in the office.  I love looking up early preachers of the Word of God and love finding out what their lives were truly like over one hundred years ago. For a person to bloom into what God has for them today, it requires them to have that foundation of the Gospel. Reading and studying the Bible from cover to cover would be a good start. And what is awesome about that today, is that they have the Bible on CD! So you could take it in your car or truck, to work or to the beach and see some great change come into your life!


Was thinking of the teen wanting the "great paying " job, but did he know how to push the broom, clean up and stack things in order? Could he take out the trash or was that left for the owner to do?
I think also of those walking the "streets" for change in the schools and most who carry the signs are made by 13 -17 years old. Now what change could they expect...for they have only known a few years of life and hopefully it was in school?  Yet even today there are those who walk the streets during school time, so I ask you what are they missing that day of which they might require in the future?

My husband and I saw this story of a young woman who most likely was about 21 years of age and she had been raised as an orphan. Not of this country, she grew up in the slums of a third world country, but chose to attend school. Still within her inadequate care of good food and clean environment she became ill, not unto death but did  have the kind of sickness which affected her brain. (especially in the thinking region of her brain) Still she proved to herself she could study and become a responsible adult.
It took her some years, but she moved from the fantasy to living as the responsible and in that she actually found parents to care for her who were not her biological but loved her just the same! For many though who have the advantage here, seem to need proof to back their own opinions and ideas.
Saw a writing by a theologian who stated that many today lack resources, many have the lack of time and many lack the resource of education to make the search for God. Of course he was mentioning those of third world countries. Many have to walk to find water and then it is not drinkable. Many are women who have been abandoned by husbands and now must care for their children alone! But I am certain that would not be the case in the country of which we live like America! Of late, the leading was toward creating "a god or goddess"!  People like the Avengers and the false reality many adhere to living, and the feedback  that was sent out today echoed the sentiments of the writers or creators of such are getting tired of the new story lines. But many people choose a leading in that which makes them comfortable to their idea of living for the fun times. In their consciences, they truly dodge that which they should grasp in knowing God but conform to gods and goddesses where magic rules, and responsibility is thrown out the window.


Jesus was given the tongue of the learned. He as the Prophet was given the exact word given to Him by the Father. Ezekiel 3:17 NKJV   17"Son of Man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me. Matthew 13:52 NKJV 52 Then He said to them, "Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is life a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.
Jesus brought forth that which was spoken of Him from the Old Testament and Revealed the New Testament in and through Him!

Jesus spoke this in John 12:49 "For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.

Jesus became the qualified. He became the Son . God opens our ears to hear. And like the Son we are not to be rebellious when He speaks. Jesus was willing to learn and to become what He was destined for as the divine sacrifice without sin! Despite the negative and the scorn, Jesus proved to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. He did not demand 35 dollars an hour to start out in His walk. No He was steadfastly set firmed and focused to accomplishe which even meant His death!

Isaiah 50: 7 continues with this: 7 For the Lord God will help Me; therefore I will not be disgraced; therefore I have set My face like a flint, and I know that I will not be ashamed. 8 He is near who justifies Me; Who will contend with Me? Let us stand together. Who is My adversary? Let him come near Me.

God, His Father vindicates Jesus' character, approves of what Jesus did and declares Jesus innocent. And this was a prophetic word about HIM! With Jehovah as His advocate and His help, Jesus would prevail!

No "boss babies" here please! Truly our eyes are to be fixed on the word of God, following righteousness seeking the Lord always. We have received deliverance out of every phase of the curse for all men who will conform to His will. For when God promotes, others will desire to hear God's word through you and through me. For when God promotes, favor on our lives will be seen. And by faith we must believe and receive that which is in God for our light will break forth like the beams of the sun on a clear morning. Our righteousness that is of and in God will be seen as whole and healthy and God's glory will be our rear guard! Darkness has passed, light has appeared and in this day we delight. For in this process of time, we become what he destined for us to be in this moment now for His glory for now and forever. Amen!

Not the Flavor of the Month Nor the Spice for Which the Church Body Needs

Voice of Prayer

Well, hold on to truth of what God has placed in you!

Sometimes we find ourselves motivated by the Holy Spirit to move in the “anointing” and to do it just like God asked only to find out months or years later that it is not the desired “thing” at the moment for that month or for that year.

Holy Spirit Fire does not exist within the body  of believer’s you find yourself surrounded by and you find there is no flavor you needed! YIKES! That would be a “hard” place to be. Yet, when we continue to seek God in all His counsel He will bring us to the place HE destined us to be.

The anointing of God is to enhance what He is doing. And there are seasons within the body in certain locations or regions around the world that either change leadership or the leadership dies, then the newly appointed leader or leaders desire a different venue, a different environment. Now whether it is of God, only God will know if there are prayer-people on sight to pray for those changes. But in truth, where we find ourselves can be much like Joseph did.

Potiphar’s wife desired him to be her flavor, but Joseph was headed into leadership from God and for God, but found himself in prison. His unique flavor belonged to God and Joseph did not fit. But times would change, and the needed flavor would be revealed.

 In that timing that God orchestrated, the event for Joseph would come forward. Yes, we learned he knew of the 7years of the fat and the 7 years of the lean that was to come to that region. After the “dream” that Potiphar had dreamed, famine was coming to that nation.

Joseph’s flavor was needed. He came forward by the promotion from God. It was under Joseph’s direction that Egypt worked for the positive.

Where will you enhance the needed flavor? Ask God!

Whatever opportunities and the needed connections will bring the visibility you require for the Lord’s glory.  If you have relationships strained or just cut-off due to jealousy of others, know God is God. God is for you. If you find you are in “prison” due to being cut-off like Joseph, then your advancement is coming and according to God’s standard.

No matter what your current status may be, understand God knows where you fit and by that flavor He put in you, you will thrive in the new place when it is revealed.

When the “right” place is revealed, no one can stop it. Stay faithful to God and He will remain faithful to see you moved into position for His glory. It will come, be patient and look for it for God is good and He will reveal His goodness for you in the right time and right place.

 In thinking on this, Moses was one who stood out today. Moses spoke as one might speak today: “What can I do, I am so weak and have no abilities.” Moses said, “I am not a man of words.” And in truth he spoke this. Without the Holy Spirit ,Moses might have been the one with the heavy tongue, yet when he spoke for God, his speech was of that of God for which God intended.

You know Stephen spoke this in the book of Acts. We find Stephen defending himself in chapter 7 of Acts.  Acts 7:22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.

The Amplified for Acts 7:22 says this: So Moses was educated in all the wisdom and culture of the Egyptians, and he was mighty (powerful) in his speech and deeds.

 Did Stephen mis-speak about Moses….absolutely not. For these two both spoke accurately. Moses was not the eloquent speaker, but Stephen also spoke correctly in that Moses spoke in that which God ordained for him to speak to Pharaoh.

When it is time, one will shine for the glory of God. We must be persistence, but be patient as well.

Psalm 145:17-19 Amp Bible 17 The Lord is [rigidly] righteous in all His ways and gracious and merciful in all His works. 18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth.19 He will fulfill the desires of those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him, He also will hear their cry and will save them.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14  Amp. Bible 13 Be alert and on your guard; stand firm in your faith ( your conviction respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, keeping the trust and holy fervor born of faith and a part of it). Act like men and be courageous; grow in strength! 14 Let everything you do be done in love (true love to God and man as inspired by God’s love for us).

Amen!

A Foggy Situation

Hebrews 12:1-6

12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. 4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:

"My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,

Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; 

6 For whom the LORD loves He chastens,

And scourges every son whom He receives." 

NKJV

Are we looking for a successful conclusion? But does that conclusion involve that one ultimate "thing" that in a life of faith we will actually sit down in the presence of God?

From the above passage, Jesus has gone before us. He ran the race, who is the Author and the Finisher of our faith. If we keep our eyes of faith on Jesus, then we certainly come out in safety, reside in green pastures where we lie down in God's presence and His peace.

Almost two decades ago, I wanted to help out in this Book Ministry at the church. In volunteering I learned a lot about authors of the latter part of the twentieth century. I learned of one specifically who had a publishing company in the Lynnwood, Washington area. 

Many Christians today should know of this man and his heart for God. He had many books published, like New Creations Realities, In His Presence, The Two Kinds of Life, Jesus the Healer, The Two Kinds of Righteousness and the Blood Covenant. Now I only list a few of those great books.

In assisting in the book store one day I was asked to go to the Kenyon Publishing Society and get a few books the church had ordered. I got the list, and headed home. It would be late if I tried to stop off at this book place, so I reserved that time for early the next morning.

Unbeknownst to me, I would arise early the next morning to find fog laid over the entire city. And I was to drive to Lynnwood, Washington. The best thing about it was that I did not have to go by the Interstate but could take the back roads and neighborhoods to get to the publisher.

I backed out of our driveway, and fixed my eyes on the school bus in front of me. The further I went south to Lynnwood, the heavier the fog appeared to me. So during this trip that took about 50 minutes that morning, I arrived to get the books for the church. My job done, I needed to find my way through the fog again.

I certainly was challenged on that trip. I had to continually fix my eyes, not only consistently but with an intensity and focus on Jesus. I was intent on getting home, but I was also intent to arrive safely in the presence of my God and Father.

I do not know if Jesus encountered fog. I know He could not have had a car or even a driver's license. The book He knew was the Torah. But for certain, Jesus is the only one who knows the safest and best path to that goal.

We are not to despise the chastening of the Lord. For correction can come and we must embrace it to grow further in His grace. For He had to love us dearly to send His love to us. And when the chastening comes, we should remember that He, the Father will scourge every son whom He receives.

 That scourge is a contact with us. It is with a cord or strap for disciplining another. I certainly recall a couple of real "discipline" moments when I was growing up, and one was soap on the tongue when I spoke what my parents said was wrong at the time.

I learned not to speak those things and I really learned after the third time I did it. Yikes!

But true discipline is: a love and it is a force that flows from a willing heart for the true God. God has given us His Holy Spirit not to fear.  He has given us power, love and a sound mind to prevail in all situations, including FOG! Holding on to fast to the pattern of sound words we are cultivating a relationship with His Holy Spirit. And within that relationship we are propelled into His power for signs and wonders.

Let's remind ourselves of the joy that was in Jesus. And the walk He took to Calvary was a benefit to me and for you. Set your focus on Him. 
Wherever you go today, may you arrive at your destination safety and in the presence of Almighty God!

Father, we thank You and declare that everything we put our hands to do will prosper beyond our expectations. We declare that with God our Father, all things are possible. We are thankful for Jesus and our focus is set on Him, the Author and Finisher of our faith. We are truly blessed with a clean, wise and understanding heart. For we are the blessed with self-control and discipline. We are blessed with a great family, good friends, and good health. Today we are blessed with faith, favor and fulfillment. We experience promotion, supernatural strength and Your divine protection. Today we walk out of any foggy areas, and the release from captivity. We walk with compassion in our hearts and with a positive outlook on life. For it is in Jesus, that we live, move and have our being. We are the blessed of the Lord and thankful for Jesus. It is in His name, we have given much thanks!
