Abundant Life

God doesn't want us to pretend because He wants us to enjoy abundant life. And we can't do this if we won't engage in the reality of life.
But what is God's way to this abundant lie?
Obviously when we die we enter into it - but it's for now too.
When considering the story of the disciples fishing it becomes clearer.

Jesus was in Simon's boat preaching and when He had finished Jesus told him to put his nets out again. Simon replied, 'We've been fishing hard all night and haven't caught even a minnow. But if you say so, I'll let out the nets.' It was no sooner said than done - a huge haul of fish, spraining the nets past capacity.' (Luke 5:5,6Msg).
They had been fishing all night obeying maritime laws, doing everything right, they were experienced, this was their job. But they had been fishing in their own strength and knowledge.
Then Jesus said a 'word'.
His words are miraculously creative. He only had to say a word to create the world, to bring light. His words bring the power for their fulfillment.
The disciples caught so many fish they couldn't haul the nets in alone.
This is God's way when we walk in obedience to His word.

Listen and hear His voice.
Once you have His word - obey - and the abundance will be there.
Truly!

God in Cyberspace

Cyberspace is not a mystery to God, even though it is to me. His word travels to create just as the words I am typing right now shall translate through air waves onto your screen if you are reading this. These words, invisible yet powerful, will also create in you - an idea, a thought, an attitude, an emotion that will add to your life either positively or negatively. My motivation is to add postive input so let's get focused.

What was the last word God spoke to you through spiritual space? And what have you done with it?

Did you allow it to bounce off and fall into your detete tray where you purposefully ignored it? Did you hide it,saved in your mind for a more convenient time, delaying obedience? Or did you embrace it and welcome it into your heart and let it transform you from the inside out?

What is He saying to you today and what will you do with this new creative word. A love letter from God to produce new, vibrant life within you?
