“Renew your mind by his word and you will discern that perfect will of God. Remain in God’s will and you will remain in a place of peace and security, making and an impact on your world.”

Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

This Christian motivational thought is concerned with helping the reader seek and track the will of God. God’s will is always a place of peace and security. If you remain in the centre of God’s will you will impact your world, something that the enemy of our souls, Satan, will do all he can to prevent.

Doreen was a tender child. She loved her mom and dad very much. The family lived on the East End of London during the time of the Second World War. Life was not easy. Sadly, when Doreen was 11-years old, her mom walked out on the family after her dad had an affair. The new woman in her father’s life was abusive and bullied Doreen badly. Gradually her esteem was so stripped away that she found herself lost to the evils of witchcraft. But God had a plan for this little life. Doreen later discovered the love and power of the Lord and gave her life to Jesus. Repenting of her black crafts Doreen discovered the peace and security of following God’s will for her life. Doreen Irvine tells her story in the book From Witchcraft to Christ, a book that has had a great impact on the world.

Psalm 143 is a prayer of another person who was bullied and abused, that of David. As a young man, David was anointed king of Israel. However, King Saul was still on the throne. Saul was not a nice guy and sought to take David’s life. David endured his abuse for many years during which time he wrote many psalms. But God had a plan for this young life, too. David walked in God’s will despite the opposition he faced. Here he found peace and security. When he was downcast, he placed his hope in the Lord. David had a profound impact on the world, becoming the greatest king Israel ever had and the descendent of Messiah.

Perhaps you find yourself in a predicament like Doreen Irvine or King David. It could be that you have also been being bullied or abused. You may have faced countless events in your life where the enemy of your soul, Satan, was intent on dragging you away from God’s will. God’s word for you today is, nothing can ever separate you from his love. His will is for you is to acknowledge him in all your ways. Do this and he will direct your life’s track according to his will. Seek first his kingdom principles and his goodness. Do this and he will provide all you’ll ever need for life and living. Renew your mind by his word and you will discern that perfect will of God. Remain in God’s will and you will remain in a place of peace and security, making and an impact on your world.

God-tracking is remaining in God’s will despite the opposition.

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

Thank you for your promise that you will never leave me and thank you for the peace and security of walking in your will

“Oh Lord, like King David, I feel so downcast today. I have endured much abuse and many restrictions in life. Today, I apologise for ever taking my eyes off Jesus and looking down at my circumstances. I choose now to not give up but look up as I surrender my will to do your will. I acknowledge your presence and purposes for every avenue of my life and seek to live according to your kingdom principles. Thank you for your promise that you will never leave me and thank you for the peace and security of walking in your will. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS FLYING HIGH WITH GOD-CONFIDENCE IN THE FACE OF EVERY STORM OF LIFE

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS FLYING HIGH WITH GOD-CONFIDENCE IN THE FACE OF EVERY STORM OF LIFE

Psalm 31:14-15(a)
But I trust in you, O LORD; I say,
“You are my God.” My times are in your hand

There are storms out there like economic slowdown, job losses, political turbulence, radical terrorism, violent crime and severe natural disasters. And there are storms closer to home like illness, financial need, marital upheaval and bullying. Sometimes I become so disillusioned with the world and my own circumstances that I just want to pack-it-all-in and give up. But then the Lord reminds me to not give but look up. If I’m acknowledging him in all my ways and trusting him to guide my life track, then God will guide me through all the storms of life. And he’s good at it!

In his book, “Before Amen”, Max Lucado tells the story of how he climbed aboard a plane on a business trip. As he entered the craft, he heard his name being called. It was his good friend, Joe. Joe was the pilot. Max says of him, “He’s been flying forever. He’s faced every flight crisis from electric storms to empty fuel tanks. He’s a good pilot. He is good in skill and good in heart.” Lucado went on to say that Joe was experienced and proven. More than that, Joe was Max’s tried-and-true friend.

As it turned out that flight was destined to hit the mother of all storms. The plane was shaken by violent winds. It bounced up and down like a wild rollercoaster ride. As passengers gasped and shrieked, Max Lucado said, “I stayed calm. I knew the pilot. I knew his heart and I trusted his skill. The storm was bad but the pilot was good.”

Jesus is the pilot of your life, dear God-tracker. If you continue to acknowledge him in every aspect of your life – storms or not – then he will see you through. He has the skills and the heart to meet your every need. He has the wisdom and power to guide world affairs. And he has the love and grace to still your beating heart. The Lord your God is a good God, and he’s good at what he does. He is faithful and his love endures your every hardship. Put your faith in his omniscient, omnipotent wisdom and trust that he will land you safe and sound on the other side of your calamity. The storm may be bad but the pilot is good.

God-tracking is flying high with God-confidence in the face of every storm of life.

Every blessing

Dudley

I place my confidence squarely in you, Lord my God

Pray
“O Father God, thank you so much that you are in control of my life. Thank you that control world affairs and guide the paths of man. Thank you that you pilot my life with skill and a true heart. I surrender my life to you. I commit my every need to you. You are my source and my resource. You are my healer and my comforter. You are the provider of my every need. I will not give up on life but choose to look up, instead. I look up into the eyes of Jesus, author and pilot of my faith. I place my confidence squarely in you, Lord my God. Amen.

GOD-TRACKING IS FACING PERSECUTION IN THE VICTORY OF THE CROSS

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS FACING PERSECUTION IN THE VICTORY OF THE CROSS

 
Romans 8:31
What then shall we say to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us?
 
“I was reading that Christians and Jews are the most persecuted people in the world,” said Tony as we prepared to pray that morning. “We have so many enemies around the world. Why do you think that is,” he asked? I tried to explain that it is has to do with the fact both Christians and Jews are worshipers of the one true God Almighty, while the world is under the curse of sin where Satan is lord. Ultimately it’s a battle between good and evil. Satan hates God’s people and will do all he can to wipe them from the face of the earth. As followers of Christ, Christians are particularly persecuted, because Satan continually attempts to undermine Christ’s victory over him at Calvary. My friend grunted some response under his breath as we began our prayer time.
 
I knew that Tony was very angry, and rightly so. However, even though Satan is continually attacking God’s people, Jesus has already conquered him by bearing the wages of our sin when he died. At the cross, the Son of God, who was without sin, humbled himself by taking on the punishment of sin. Jesus became sin for us so that, in him, we could become God’s righteousness. This was how God demonstrated his love for the world in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. And so, through the humility of the cross Jesus triumphed over sin, death and Satan, making a public spectacle of the forces of evil. The Bible tells us that if we confess Jesus as Lord and believe he died and rose again, we will be saved from sin, death and Satan. Therefore, in Christ we are more than conquerors!
 
“You’re already a winner, Tony!” I said as we concluded our prayer time. “But your victory is not over flesh and blood but over the forces of evil behind that flesh and blood. The weapons you fight with are not natural weapons like the gun or the sword; the weapons you fight with are divine and mighty! They have great power to tear down spiritual strongholds and to overcome all the power of Satan. Two of those weapons,” I explained, “are prayer and love. Listen to what Jesus said: ‘Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.’ You see, perfect love casts out fear and only love can change your enemy’s heart. So stand strong in prayer and love. Always remember, God is on your side and if God is for you who can be against you?”
 
God-tracking is facing persecution in the victory of the cross
 
God bless you
 
Dudley
 
 
Don’t Give Up, Look Up!

Give me the strength to love those that persecute us and pray for their salvation

Pray
 “Lord Almighty, I get so very angry when I read how Christians are being persecuted around the world. I also get angry at the people in my own life that bully or persecute me! I realise that this is justifiable anger, but you have not called me to fight back against people. Rather, you have called me to fight against the forces of evil behind the evil acts of people. Therefore, I choose to not hate those who persecute us. I choose – by your grace – to love them. I pray for the persecutors of Christians and Jews around the world that you would make your Word plain to them. Convict them of guilt in regard to sin and bring them to repentance. I pray also for the Suffering Church that you would comfort, heal and deliver them from their attackers. Give them strength to stand up under persecution. And Lord, give me the strength to love those that persecute us and pray for their salvation. To the glory of God I pray. Amen.”
