Here
we are again…back in the Training Weight Room.
Today, before we begin, I have one question for you…
How well are you
believing?
We’ve
been working out together in Truth for close to a month now. At times, The Exercises have stretched us
beyond many of our comfort zones. If
you’re like me– human, too often my feelings have attempted to keep me from
lifting The Truth-Heavy Weights.
Spiritual lethargy always seems to raise its dark head and creeps in
with what appears to be legitimate reasons for remaining comfortably
complacent. However, we must remember
that at any given moment during any given day, we are making a choice to either
move forward or succumb to the current of recidivism.
Therefore,
as we continue Training for Reigning, the very foundation of our faith is of
the utmost importance. Who we choose to
believe determines the life we will experience and the destiny we will
ultimately live. The Truth is: we have The Power and the choice has always
been ours. Speaking of choices, let’s
get started with today’s workout session...Choose to Work Smarter!
The Fortune is in the Follow Through!
I
am amazed at the plethora of workout plans and programs that are available on
the market today. There are some that even
included meal plans which promise rapid results. However, like any health plan or workout program
the results may vary based upon an individual’s commitment to follow
through. Even if one has a world class
trainer as well as the latest workout techniques at their disposal, there are
some things the trainer just can’t do for the trainee. The trainee’s main thing and sole
responsibility is working the plan or program.
Having the knowledge is not enough.
Works must accompany one’s faith in the plan or program. Information without the revelation for
application is mere data between one’s ears which produces absolutely
nothing. As in this natural experience,
let’s now acknowledge This Truth from a spiritual perspective.
For we are
God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew]
that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for
us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them
[living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
Ephesians 2:10 AMP
The
Ultimate Truth Trainer has already prepared a Plan just for each and every one
of us. Our Individual Plans promise that
as we walk the prepared paths we will experience the good life. Knowing The Ultimate Trainer, These Plans
have His Masterful Handwriting all over them.
There’s sure to be Love, Light, Joy,
Peace,
Prosperity,
Security,
and Comfort
just to name a few.
Please
understand the counterfeit trainer’s favorite trick is to tempt us to fall into
the prideful trap called the sin of self-reliance. This posture of unbelief influences one to
live their lives according to their own plans, in the world’s way. This choice may offer a level of temporary
success; however, eventually the lies will hit The Umbrella of Truth.[1]
Let’s be Truth-full! The Ultimate Trainer’s Way of living is the only
way that leads to good success.[2]
As Believers, we already have The Power to live life to the fullest.[3] Therefore, nothing is
impossible to us when we stick with The Ultimate Trainer, willingly submitting
to His Faithful Instructions.[4]
Therefore,
from this day forward, I encourage you to work smarter and not harder! With passionate pursuit, re-discover The
Ultimate Trainer’s Plans for your life. [5]
Then follow Love’s Lead.[6]
Since your success is already guaranteed, persistently work knowing in
due time you will see the results you’ve been longing to experience.[7]
Until next week, just
walk It out…
27 Now it occurred that as He was saying these things, a
certain woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, Blessed (happy and
to be envied) is the womb that bore You and the breasts that You sucked!
28 But
He said, Blessed (happy and to be envied) rather are those who hear the Word of
God and obey and practice it! {emphasis}

2 Peter
1:3 NLT,
By His Divine Power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this
by coming to know Him, The One Who called us to Himself by means of His
marvelous glory and excellence.
[4]
Luke
1:37 AMP, For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from
God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment. {emphasis}
Isaiah 1:19 MSG,
If you'll willingly obey, you'll feast like
kings.
[5] Ephesians 5:17 CEV,
Don’t be stupid. Instead, find out {re-discover}
what The Lord wants {desires for} you to do. {emphasis}
[6]
Ephesians
4:1 MSG, In light of all this, here's what I [Paul] want you to do…I want you to
get out there and walk—better yet, run!—on the road God called you to
travel. I don't want any of you sitting
around on your hands. I don't want
anyone strolling off, down some path that goes nowhere.
[7] Galatians
6:9 NLT,
So don’t get tired of doing what is good.
Don’t’ get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of
blessing at the appropriate time.
