X-Ray Vision


How Cool was Superman?


Faster than a speeding bullet. Able to leap tall buildings. Was that a bird? A plane? Super hearing, super strength, heat vision. Wow! 

And what about that X-Ray Vision, when you’re a 13 year old kid this stuff all sounds pretty cool. What is in the teachers desk drawer? What is going on over at your friends house? Hard to walk by the girls locker room and keep your eyes on regular setting!


What if we had a Vision setting that was past the normal range.

What if we had not only the “Focused Vision” we Blogged about last time.

What if we could see into the Spiritual Realm and “see” what the Devil was up to?

X-Ray vision: Seeing Through Satan’s Schemes

The name Devil derives from the Greek word diabolos, which means ‘slanderer’ or ‘accuser’.

He isThe father of lies; the accuser of the brethren; the great separator; The Tempter.

But what if we could “SEE” what he was up to?

Would it help us?

Would it make him less powerful?

Would it make The church more Power-Filled?

He is one slippery character, hiding in the shadows, happy not to be seen as long as his agenda is carried out.

The destruction of the family, the tearing down of God’s Kingdom, abuse of every sort, mayhem and malicious injury. These are his tools.

Lex Luthor is a wimp next to this guy.

The Church in America today is in desperate need of an outpouring of Godly Discernment. Keenly selective judgment is needed as “New Age” “Holistic” even sometimes “Occult” methods are used in the Church.

For such men are false apostles [spurious, counterfeits], deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles (special messengers) of Christ (the Messiah). And it is no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light; 2 Corinthians 11:13-14

We are under attack. Be warned. Be armed. Be Ready.

Jesus IS COMING SOON.

Deb & I are praying for you and your family!!!

Pray for us.

See You In Church.

Focused Vision

As Christians we live with the continual hope that Christ may return today, but part of today’s plan involves preparing for tomorrow. One of the primary leadership traits we find in God’s Word is the capacity for vision. Godly people are people with vision. They see as God sees. Their capacity doesn’t begin within themselves; it begins with God. It is He who opens their eyes. It is He who helps them see what others don’t see.

Godly vision helps us see many things, but among the greatest of these are God’s glory and purposes.

“Where there is no vision, the people perish” Proverbs 29:18

This verse literally tells us that when we do not hear from God, bad things happen. We can’t hope to lead God’s way if we can’t see God’s way.

The vision we’re talking about is not something we can measure with an eye chart at the doctor’s office. It’s vision from God, about God, in the service of God’s purposes.

One of the main reasons why people fail is because of Broken Focus.

You and I must realize that broken focus will destroy your dreams. In fact distraction from your assignment from God’s plan for your life will create an unending parade of tragedies and disappointments, even disaster in your life.

So stop looking at where you have been and start looking at where you can be.

This will not be easy; When you discover your assignment, you will discover your enemy. But Christ is with you!

Stay Focused. Stay Cool.

Deb & I are praying for you

See You IN CHURCH!

Priorities

The Greatest importance; the state of having importance or urgency. Somebody or something that is ranked highly.

A Life Without Priorities Will Inevitably Lack Purpose.

If nothing & no one is more “Important” than anyone or anything how will you know what to do next or who to spend time with to accomplish your Purpose? 

What is important in life is life, and not the result of life. ~Johann Wolfgang Goethe

This sounds easy, but we all know how hard this is to put into practice.

Author John Maxwell’s books have been a great source of help for me on this subject. I pass along some of his wisdom…..

Take Back Today

“Have you ever noticed that the people who have nothing to do usually want to spend their time with you? Poet Carl Sandburg said, "Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone will determine how that coin will be spent. Be careful that you do not let other people spend it for you."

Your greatest possession is the twenty-four hours you have directly ahead of you. How will you spend it? Will you give in to pressure or focus on priorities? Will you allow pointless e-mails, unimportant tasks, co-workers, interruptions, and other distractions to consume your day? Or will you take complete responsibility for how you spend your time, take control of the things you can, and make today yours? If you don't decide how your day will be spent, someone else will.

Ask Yourself Three Questions

1. What is required of me? Any realistic assessment of priorities in any area of life must start with a realistic assessment of what a person must do. For you to be a good spouse or parent, what is required of you? To satisfy your employer, what must you do? (If you lead others, then the question should be, What must you personally do that cannot be delegated to anyone else?) When ordering priorities, always start with the requirement question and give it careful thought before moving on to the next question.

2. What gives me the greatest return? As you progress in your career, you begin to discover that some activities yield a much higher return for the effort than others do. (Anyone who hasn't discovered that probably isn't progressing in his career!) The next place to focus your attention is on those high-return activities.

3. What gives me the greatest reward? If you do only what you must and what is effective, you will be highly productive, but you may not be content. I think it's also important to consider what gives you personal satisfaction. However, I find that some people want to start with the reward question and go no further than that. No one can be successful who doesn't possess the discipline to take care of the first two areas before adding the third.”

We are setting some New priorities at New Life.

We must live to our potential and fulfill our Purpose in the Kingdom.

Some things must take Preeminence ….. others must move.

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook! ~William James
