perspective and training for the life of the Spirit
There are two ways I see in scripture that blessing boundaries can be increased. 1. God Can Command It “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, ?do not hold back; ?lengthen your cords, ? strengthen your stakes. ?For you will spread out to the right and to the left; ?your descendants will dispossess nations ?and settle in their desolate cities. Isaiah 54:2-3 (New International Version, ©2010) 2. We Can Request It Jabez was more honorable than his [...] Read more »
If I’m not dropping off kids, it seems like I’m running to meetings. Not that I’m complaining about any of it. It’s all fun work I’m doing.

Now this might take a huge step of faith to move into the job God has called you to. If you’re placing your security in a paycheck or benefits and working for money instead of a calling my advice for you is this: Hear directly from God. Don’t be afraid to ask. Don’t be afraid to obey. Have it confirmed by others and be in unity with your spouse. Work as unto the Lord. There is nothing wrong with the [...] Read more »
Has God called you to work you’re doing? It’s not just pastors who are ordained for a vocation. Are you experiencing His blessing in your work? Don’t think I’m asking you “Is it easy?” Do you feel His pleasure on you as you do what you do as “unto the Lord?” Are you passionate doing in your work? There’s going to be seasons when it’s more difficult. But knowing God has called you to a job helps you stick through [...] Read more »

I’ve been called to be a pastor and right now I’m doing almost all of it online. I’m blessed with the work I do to receive my living, but also want to agree with God and his call on my life. Here’s my prayer of agreement I pray to agree with God’s thoughts for me. My Prayer of Agreement 1 Corinthians 9:14; Romans 11:29; 1 Chronicles 4:10; Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Romans 3:22-24; Galatians 5:25; 2 Corinthians 1:20; 1 John 2:27 Lord, you have [...] Read more »
God has given you gifts, He has given you talents, He has given you passion, He’s given you the aptitude to learn skills. He’s blessed you with the ability to create wealth with who He’s created you to be (Deuteronomy 8:18). Probably the easiest example to show from Scripture for blessings boundaries on vocations is for pastors. Paul tells the church in Corinth: Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and [...] Read more »

Here’s yet another question from another reader with a similar struggle. It’s great to remember 1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” But the question becomes, “How can I practically live that out?” I’d appreciate your comments.

These may not be all the verses on giving… but they are ones we need to meditate on, study in context and pray about implementing in our lives… Deuteronomy 15:10? Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. Deuteronomy 16:17 ?Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the [...] Read more »
When you look at Scripture and see the overlap of what Fearing the Lord is, what Seeking the Lord is and what doing what’s right is, you have a key for all three….Obedience. When you seek God you obey God. When you fear God you obey God. When you do what’s right you obey God. I’m boiling it down to its essentials here and it’s all saying the same thing. God will not honor sin. Because temptation needs to look [...] Read more »

Let’s take a look at the promises we have for God to be good… O fear the LORD, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want.

Psalm 34:9-10 (New American Standard Bible) For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He [...] Read more »
