A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting on these scriptures this morning and my heart was pondering the question of “What’s next?” – for this next season of life.
We, the leaders and servants of the Lord, are on this journey learning how to heal from the inside out with the goal to mature into the place where we have all sufficiency in all things and are self sufficient in Him (Christ) needing no aide or support!
What a wonderful journey and goal.
Scripture encourages us by saying:
“And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in abundance to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity.”
2 Corinthians 9:8 AMP
Selah
On this journey we experience many starts and stops; and many ups and downs which may cause us to ask the question in our hearts, “What’s Next Lord?”
Yes … our foundations are still sure and grounded in Christ but we sometimes need a refresher, reassurance, guidance or a reset- where we lift our eyes and hands to heaven for answers.
When we arrive at this moment, we have some scriptures we can learn of, lean on and trust/do:
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and with all your soul and with all your strength [your entire being].”
Deuteronomy 6:5 AMP
“God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.””
John 4:24 AMP
“Trust in the LORD, and do good; So shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.”
Psalm 37:3 KJV
Amen
As we soak in His presence, we can ask Him:
“Who may ascend onto the mountain of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to what is false, Nor has sworn [oaths] deceitfully. [Matt 5:8] He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation (description) of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need, Who seek Your face, even [as did] Jacob. [Ps 42:1] Selah.”
Psalms 24:3-6 AMP
“Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.”
Psalm 51:10 KJV
“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.”
Psalm 27:4 KJV
Glory be to God!
In conclusion, let us be encouraged as it is my prayer and sincere desire that we soak in the presence of the Holy Spirit today until we receive our breakthrough and His peace becomes real to us – for that is our portion, in Jesus Name.
The Bible says:
“Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.
Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]”
John 14:27 AMP
“These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be [written] on your heart and mind.
You shall teach them diligently to your children [impressing God’s precepts on their minds and penetrating their hearts with His truths] and shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up.
And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand (forearm), and they shall be used as bands (frontals, frontlets) on your forehead. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”
Deuteronomy 6:6-9 AMP
“I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]. [Rom 14:10]”
Philippians 1:6 AMP
In Jesus Name, Amen and it is so!
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
Micah 6:6-8 NIV
