I want to share with you keys of the Economy of Heaven. I don’t suggest these are all the keys of the economy of heaven. These are the keys God’s been downloading into us that we’ve been able to put into practice and see amazing results.

The Keys we’re going to examine are:

  • The Key of Abundance
  • The Key of Blessing Boundaries
  • The Key of Generosity

The 2012 International Fast From Negativity is seeing some changes from previous years.

  • Churches as still encouraged to participate, but I won’t be providing resources unless specifically asked and it’s a little too late to bulk order books.
  • The new home for the fast is on RevTrev.com - http://revtrev.com/negativity-fast/ along with all the Bible Reading Plans, Personalized Personal Identity In Christ for Men and Women and Personalized Book of Ephesians for Men and Women.
  • The daily emails are now designed to be more interactive. I’ll explain what I mean by that in a future post.

And I have a the Live Life Positively Package to provide even more encouragement and tools to individuals.

Every year we have a number of people sign up for the daily emails. Even now we have over 800 currently receiving the daily encouragement.

This year’s International Negativity Fast starts February 28 and runs to April 7th – the Saturday before Easter. I’ll explain why the days don’t really line up with Lent in the next post. So why don’t you consider giving up every thought, word and action contrary to the will of God with us? It’s never an easy challenge, but one that helps us become more like Him.

Ask me any questions in the comments or check out the video about the fast here. http://revtrev.com/negativity-fast

Here’s a question from a reader who is going through a difficult situation. You can leave her your encouragement in the comments.

 

questions and answers from revtrevQuestion:

I am so much confuse right now.  I wanted to move from the heartaches and for being abandon of a husband. We just married for almost 4 years but I never felt being loved instead he showed how he had hurt me for having an affair to many women and worse had already a child of their own.

He returned to us and I forgave but again he continue with his sin.

I am trying to forget him because he left us again but i am still hoping and praying that God will change him.

For almost 4 years of crying out to the Lord that He would change him why is it he gets even more worse. I love him as my husband even he doesn’t cares on me. Is it right of begging the Lord that he will give  my husband  and be transformed. Is he not the will of God for me? I have a hard time understanding  the plans of God. Please send me a message of wisdom to fully know the will of God?

Answer:

My prayers are with you. I’ve learned it’s much better to agree with God than beg him. What is His promise for you and your children, and all who are far off? I know at least it’s the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:39). There are a lot of more promises you can pray in agreement with God for your life. Don’t stop with that one.

That being said, your husband has broken his vow and his covenant with you. You are not bound to it. IF you choose to continue to show him love, I strongly suggest boundaries.

In either case, if you try to reconcile again or if you go your own way, keep on forgiving him. It’s for the sake of your relationship with God, not your relationship with him. Forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting, it means turning him over into God’s hand. Paul told Timothy (1 Timothy 1:20) that he turned to people over to satan so they “would be taught not to blaspheme.” It seems to me that blaspheming is one of the things you’re husband is doing. He’s blasphemed his covenant, you and therefore God.

I’m assuming this doesn’t matter to him, but in 1 Corinthians 7:14-15 Paul is talking about a Christian spouse living with an unbelieving spouse. He says,

 

For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.

 

So you sanctify your husband with the grace you’ve accepted from God. Removing that sanctification from him is “turning him over to satan”.

If you’re not ready to do that, another thing you can do is stand in his place before God and ask for forgiveness. Jesus did this on the cross when he prayed “Father forgive them, for they don’t know what to do”. When we do that for people we pray for who only seem to get worse, we find they often get a lot better.

I hope something in that helps. I really felt I needed to get something out to you quickly. I am praying for you.

Trevor

I suppose you can guess most of the Christmas shopping is done and concerts are over and excitement is growing towards Christmas…think about that. Excitement is growing towards Christ’s Mass. I’m not part of a tradition that remembers Advent, but each of us in our own way go through the anticipatory cycle of Christmas. I enjoy it. I guess that’s why I teach so often on expectation…I’m digressing.

Next week this newsletter will start being sent out on Fridays. There are more reasons for that than I want to mention right now. Today I want to welcome the 47 new readers this week from RevTrev.com, Twitter Tips, and LifeAbovetheNegativity.com. I have a number of new email courses coming in 2012 that will be on training in areas I’m able to train in…but more about that below. On to this new looking newsletter…take some time to tell me what you think about it.

Change is the Only Constant

In 2012 RevTrev.com is going to be doing things differently…once more. You can already see some of the changes taking place if you go to front page now. It will have more of a magazine feel, with series clearly marked and a few new exciting sections.

I’m going to blogging on topics people often ask me about on my other websites. I know…good marketing teaches to focus on your niche, but common sense tells me it’s easier to maintain and social media market one site rather than several and I think I’ve found a solution for the all important niche markets.

I’ve got posts scheduled for Social Media Tips – not new I know, but I’m delving into advice on blogging and newsletter marketing as well as a few social media topics I know well.  People will be able to sign up for weekly updates of these posts and download “283 ReTweetable Social Media Tips” a series of tips I’ve written on various aspects of social media.

I’ve also scheduled posts for writing, self-publishing and book marketing and I have “Your Book Marketing Workbook” ready for people to download when they sign up for weekly updates of the posts.

I’m scheduling posts from fiction I’ve written – including poetry, novellas and novels. I still have to figure out what I’ll give people who sign up for weekly updates for my fiction posts.

RevTrev.com will also feature “Ask a Counsellor” with your questions answered by my friend Cheryl Shea from http://EdmontonCounsellingServices.com If you have a question you for Cheryl you can let me know now. http://revtrev.com/contact
I’m working on a few more similar features from amazing people and will let you know as they are ready to be launched.

The other thing I’m doing on RevTrev.com is to provide Training and/or Encouragement through emails. I have a few set up now http://revtrev.com/training but am hoping to have a few more set up soon in response to many questions I get from my readers. I’ll let you know as I’m ready to launch them. Here’s a list of titles I have with working names…

  • Helping People Hope
  • Ministering with Expectancy
  • How to Help People To Forgive
  • How to Create A Culture of Honor
  • Overcoming Worry
  • Living Without Shame
  • Killing the Zombie (overcoming sin)

Oh, that reminds me – people who sign up for Twitter Tips  now get a series of 7 or 8 videos sent to them to show how to put my blueprint into action. I have a few more to do as more questions come in.

I’m only confident telling you these plans because I have everything ready to go. I know how long it’s going to take for me to do each and I’d appreciate you emailing me to ask when the training you’d like to go through will be available.

In this time of year we should be talking about the past. I’ve appreciated all the Christmas newsletters I’ve gotten from friends. I don’t think I even have plans to do one up this year. I’m so excited for 2012.

Say, if you have an email newsletter you send out to your family and friends, put me on the list. You have my email. I’d appreciate hearing about your past year and plans for the future and will add my prayers to your hopes.

~Trevor

Kingdom News

A friend of mine, Anita Pierce, sent me her December Newsletter. It has a lot of encouragement in it and a few stories caught my eye. Here are two of them. Connect with Anita at http://inspirationministries.net/

One woman came for prayer because she suspected, and was
being tested for, Lyme’s disease. She told me that suddenly she
felt the Lord whispered in her heart that she needed to forgive a
person who had hurt and infuriated her. In that moment, when she
relinquished the unforgiveness and anger as we prayed, the pain
and symptoms of her disease vanished!

In one town, while others were receiving prayer, I saw a business
man and his wife leaving the service. I felt compelled to follow
them out to the street. There on the street, with tears running
down his face, he prayed with me to surrender his life to Christ.

Inner Strength

If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,

If you can overlook when people take things out on you when,
through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without a counsellor,
If you can relax without having a hot bath,
If you can sleep without waking up worried,
If you can do all these things,

Then you are probably the family dog.

Adapted from:

<http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~ranga/humor/inner_strength.txt>

One Last Thing…

Don’t forget…

  • Put me on your email Christmas Letter list!
  • We make the plans, but God directs the steps!

Blessings,

~Trevor

I started having “blogging buddies” because I found out when people commented on my posts, other people would also comment. I thought if I would do the same for others it would increase the conversation on their sites as well. It turns out I don’t have all the time in the world and I haven’t become a professional blogger yet so I haven’t had time to comment 2x a week on every other persons blog. I still read everyone’s blog posts every week, but that’s been a Saturday morning pleasure for me and I have well over 150 blog posts to go through.

So what I’m going to do with RevTrev Recommends is give you links for great blog posts that have encouraged me. If you have ones that have encouraged you that you think my readers will appreciate, let me know. You can send it by email, twitter or even stumble upon.

The new section to the RevTrev Newsletter I’m expecting to be a special feature, but hoping it will a regular one as more people share their good news with me so I can pass it on to you. This section is called “Kingdom News”.

Every week lately I’ve been getting amazing stories of salvation, healing, deliverance, and financial blessing. Most of these are coming from places like Pakistan, India, Iran, and several parts of Africa. News I get encouraged by I’ll be passing on to the readers of my newsletter.

So SEND ME YOUR STORIES! We need to pass on the good news of our Good God! As you can tell, I’m quite excited by all this. Now maybe I can get onto making the changes to revtrev.com…or maybe not. I just looked at the time. Better run.

I did it. I took the plunge. I swallowed the red pill. I transferred my many sites to a new server promising better security and faster load times. I’d better not be seeing those 508 resource errors again any time soon. I tell you, the more traffic you get to your site the more you have to learn about the technical side of hosting. I need thank all my new readers for being part of the problem of overloading my server. Really, I’m not being sarcastic. It’s a milestone for me and one I’m truly humbled by.

But assuming all those issues are solved for a while, let’s get on with this week’s newsletter. A warm welcome to the 97 new subscribers this week to the RevTrev.com Newsletter, LifeAbovetheNegativity.com, Twitter Tips and Expectancy Press. Don’t be a stranger.

How Can Non-Profits Raise Money Through Social Media?

How God Heals Part 5 – RevTrev Radio
How God Heals So many times we wonder if it’s God’s will to heal. Let’s take a look at what the Bible says about that. There are also questions why healing doesn’t come. This is the final episode in the series. You can get all the past links when you listen now.

Community Feedback

I sent out an email and a test blog broadcast to see if readers signed up specifically to  RevTrev.com would mind if I send out a weekly email with information about the posts I’ve done that week.

I want to include more people in the discussions taking place on the blog. I firmly believe that together we have a fuller understanding of the will and nature of God. (That’s just a theological way to say “I think some of you are smarter than me in some things.”)

WHEN I send out a blog broadcast, it gets included in my Feedburner count, so I don’t need as many chicklets on my site. As each of them slow down how fast the page loads, I want to keep them at a minimum.

So I was pleasantly surprised with the response.  87% of respondents have no issues or look forward to getting 1 email a week with information about blog posts that week on RevTrev.com.

So I’ve set it up to go out Saturdays.

I so much enjoy the discussion that happens on the site. Thank you all for telling your friends about revtrev.com so they be a part of the conversation as well.

Thanks for your feedback. It helps me know what blog posts and resources I should focus on.

 

Social Media Tip

What Do You Do When Your Twitter Account Gets Hacked?
If you follow me on Twitter you’ll likely see me tweet at least once a day “Today’s DM Phishing Scam “Today’s DM Phishing Scam ‘lmao! this pic i found of you cracks me up when was it taken?’ DON’T Click the link.  Pls RT!’” I do that daily because I was tricked once and had my account hacked. What’s a phishing attack and what do you do when you’re tricked by one? Here’s what to do when it happens…

What People Are Saying

I personally THANK YOU for all the work you put into publishing your newsletter. I pray for that passion. ~ Ryan

I look forward to your emails and updates.  Keep up the awesome work Rev Trev! – Conrad

God bless you. Thank you for the short story. (re: It was a Bad, Bad, Bad Very, Bad Very Bad Day” available for free to subscribers to revtrev.com) I liked it! Ultimately it brought a smile to my face. It reminded me of how you don’t really need to be a child to create a monster of worries in your head before your know the actual facts. It also reminded me that you don’t have to be a child to carry around stuff you should’ve come clean to long ago. Any one of us could be that little boy (as you were) young or old. Now on a lesser note good little story, that brings a smile to ones heart, any age:)

RevTrev TV

Why is Jesus God’s Gift of Love to the World?
In this episode of http://revtrev.com/tv I talk to Bev Fawcett of http://hopeinchrist.info about her book “Jesus God’s Gift of Love to the World”

I’ve decided to stop syndicating RevTrev TV through iTunes until I can come up with a better hosting solution. I found out my site backups don’t work well when the files are over 7GB. I have close to 10GB of videos hosted on my site…oh well, live and learn. If you have any suggestions for syndicating through iTunes, let me know .

Changing the Things We Can

Attributed as found on a tomb dated A.D. 1100 of an Anglican Bishop at Westminster Abbey:

When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits,
I dreamed of changing the world.
As I grew older and wiser,
I discovered the world would not change,
so I shortened my sights somewhat and
decided to change only my country.
But it, too, seemed immovable.
As I grew into my twilight years,
in one last desperate attempt,
I settled for changing only my family,
those closest to me, but alas,
they would have none of it.
And now as I lie on my deathbed,
I suddenly realize:
If I had only changed myself first,
Then by example I would have changed my family.
From their inspiration and encouragement,
I would have been able to better my country and, who knows,
I may have changed the world.

Many Christians struggle with condemnation. We desire change. We want to break bad habits and develop godly character but our attempts often end in frustration. We have incredible encounters with God that change us for a short time, but back we go to the same behaviour. We desire to walk in another direction, to repent, but we keep on repeating the same sinful patterns over and over again. This booklet provides a way out by reminding us that the real change comes first in our hearts through confessing our sins and knowing we are forgiven. It’s not about self-help, it’s about positioning our hearts so that Jesus can change us from the inside out.
