Hello, Friend
Welcome to the Royal Brew Letter ... likely the only newsletter that listens to vintage CCM via Spotify: Imperials, Petra, David Meece, Michael W. Smith, et al. Much to the mortification of younger females. Especially Petra.
Indeed, we are coming back to our series on Apostolic Christ-followers!
Something that was always there!
"The great Christian revolutions came not by the discovery of something that was not known before. They happen when someone takes radically something that was always there." -- H. Richard Niebuhr
This not only applies to the people of God, the Church, radically discovering what was always there. It applies to you and me, too, on personal levels.
We have been recreated in Christ for good works which God has prepared for us to walk in (see Ephesians 2:10). David said in Psalm 139 that the days which were ordained for him were written in a book by God, even as he was in the womb.
So by faith, we need to continue moving forward, trusting God hard that we will discover what is already there!
What could a God-crafted State of Ohio look like? with Steve Witt
No matter where you live, there is gold for you in his episode. I love what Jim Goll says ... "God loves geography."
The meek will inherit the earth. A verse ministered to me out of Psalm 25 this week ...
"The seed of the righteous will inherit the earth."
We applied it in faith for one of our daughters about a potential new pathway concerning employment. She starts on Monday. A nice first step for her.
What's cool about this is that she said "no" to an opportunity last Monday because it was not a good fit for her in terms of temperament, aptitude, and associations.
On Tuesday morning, another peace-filled opportunity presented itself. Good learning moment for her.
Quite often, we have to say "no" to something to get to a better "yes."
Jesus Christ is ready to develop your life as a preview of coming attractions.
This loaded conversation includes a striking, prophetic viewpoint of the State of Ohio and Cleveland.
Steve Witt says that if we center on Jesus and talk him up, a “spirit of prophecy” will be activated ... the dimension of what's possible opens.
