Adjustment

I can feel/tell when my body needs to be adjusted. My neck or hips may feel different -- out of place, tight, sore. Because of this I'm not able to function at my best. Functioning at my best is important, so I make an appointment and go to the chiropractor for an adjustment. 

I can't just stop there though. Over time, I've had to learn to be sensitive to what's out of place within. 

We should be as sensitive to our spirit man, our true inner selves, as we are to our physical bodies. After all, we are made in God's image -- spirit (we are spirit, have a soul and live in a body). 

We should be able to tell when something within us doesn't feel aligned, and go to the Almighty Chiropractor (more than a chiropractor really) for an adjustment in a little quality time with just us and Him. 

In His presence, we find rest for our souls. Instead of allowing things to fester in our hearts & minds - a wrong thought, anger, bitterness, lust, jealousy, fear...we should take it to God immediately for adjustment. 

Our adjustment appointment may go something like this: "Lord, I feel _______. Take this out of my heart. Change the way that I think about this so that my view lines up with your will. Adjust me. Renew me. I give it wholly over to you; I'm yours. I acknowledge You in this and thank you that you will direct my paths and lead me in the right place. I thank you for your heart and for your mind. I receive them freely as you give freely. Protect and keep my heart and mind from evil plans, schemes and plots. Have your way in me! I surrender ________ to you."

God wants us to be able to function at our best. The reality is that life throws pressures at us, physically and spiritually, and we need a skilled Adjuster. God is just the One for the job. Time with Him where we are surrendered, transparent and where our hearts are fully open to Him truthfully re-aligns our hearts to His will & best for us.

Go schedule your adjustment today!

What Do You Want?

What do you want for your life? We have what we say. God made us in His image and likeness. That means that He's equipped and called (pre-destined and determined) for us to do what He did and to walk in the power and authority of His Kingdom. What did He do? Well, for one, He spoke things into existence. When God created the world, He said, "Let there be..." and whatever He said to be, was. Jesus healed people everywhere He went. He said "be healed...your faith has made you whole...rise up and walk..." and it was so. Jesus told His disciples (and us) that whatever we ask for and say, we shall have. The Word says, as a man thinks in his heart, so is he, so, in other words, we have what we say. I ask you again, what do you want? Whatever you want, you can have by speaking it into existence!

Recently, I've re-dedicated my morning time to God. I've decided to be more intentional about spending quality, intimate time with Him. Instead of just going right into praying for others or reading the Word, I've been taking time out to worship and connect with God personally, to tap right into His presence (there is no place like it)! Since this time,  because I've purposed His presence in my heart, I've been awakening to new worship songs! I've even been recording them. This morning, however, instead of a song, I was awakened to the words, "You are a King Priest. You have what you say!" Then I felt led to re-read Psalm 91 and to declare it! God wants us to declare (speak) His word (His will) over our lives so that we can have it! Again I say, what do you want? What does God's word say about that? Go find out and declare it - speak it into existence with the authority God gave you and watch it happen and change your life. Say what you want and have what you say!

 

My declaration (Psalm 91):

I am a King Priest! The words I speak are spirit, power and life. I am well and walk in divine health. I see the Kingdom and walk in the authority of it. I am empowered and equipped. Health, the power of deliverance, healing, and sound body and mind are all mine. I do not get sick and I will live a long, healthy, happy, prosperous life on the earth. I dwell in the shelter of the Most High and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 

We (my family) will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

A thousand may fall at our sides,
ten thousand at our right hand,
but it will not come near me or my family.

The Lord is my refuge and fortress, my dwelling place. I trust Him. No evil is allowed to befall me. No plague shall come near me or my family. God commands His angels concerning us and they guard us in all of our ways. I hold fast to God in love. He delivers me and protects me and I know His name. When I call Him, He answers me. He is with me in trouble and rescues and honors me. He will satisfy me with long life and show me His salvation.

Amen!
