Reign Of Righteousness

One small crack doesn't mean you are broken.

Someone generously gave me $100 today for something I did out of my heart in love. On my way home the Holy Spirit began to minister to me.

Do you know how many different hands that same $100 bill has been in?

Do you know how many people have undervalued that same $100 bill?

That $100 bill has been in the hands of people who have had both good & bad motives.

It could have exchanged hands during a drug transaction or given during the offering at a Sunday service.

Nevertheless, it has never lost it's value of $100! It's still recognized as a $100 anywhere I go within the United States. The only thing a cashier is going to do is verify that it is real before accepting it.

Like a $100 bill, some people are complete counterfeits. Some had the wrong tint. Some had the wrong glow. Some were not visible from both sides. Some were not scanned under the right LIGHTING.

Some of you have been apart of counterfeit transactions. Some of you have been undervalued. Some have been mishandled.

I'm here to remind you that your value & worth has never changed in the eyes of God. You are still worth the sacrifice Jesus made to redeem you. Healing is als apart of your redemption.

Your value & worth has been set. It is written in a blood bought covenant.

God is about reimburse His redeemed. Don't reject the real because you experienced the replica. They will understand the fullness of your value & worth.

Value & worth are two oft-confused terms. While sometimes used interchangeably in conversation, the terms actually mean two different things.

Worth is a term used to denote how much something will cost or how much an item will sell for. For example, your house might be worth $100,000 on the real estate market, or your flat screen TV might sell for $500 at auction. The monetary value attached to any particular item is an item's worth.

Value is a broad term that encompasses emotion as well as cost. For example, while that old, chipped vase handed down to you by your aunt might only be worth $10, to you it might be invaluable & therefore has low worth but high value. Value can also be used to describe items that don't necessarily have a dollar value attached to them, like the value of your time.

Jesus paid your cost in full. Check His receipt, not your regrets.

Repositioning To Reap.

As a current & practical visual representation, the quarterback Joe Borrow symbolizes what I spoke of in my last post.

He transferred from Ohio St to LSU.

His POTENTIAL didn't change, his PLACEMENT changed.

Our POSITION needs to find a PLACE, conducive for our POTENTIAL.

Sometimes the LATENCY of our gift is LIMITED by our LOCATION.

Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better.

Sometimes our holding on is holding us back.

The Backup vs The Starter. Where are you WANTED vs where are you NEEDED?

In the same breath, sometimes people who are similar to energy, have to be released.

This releasing is often necessary to remove the restrictions by allowing people to relocate.

The dimension of power is energy divided by time.

Stored energy can be potential energy.
Potential energy is stored in the body when the body is at rest.

Rest is meant for RESPONSE & RECOVERY, not REJECTION & RESTRICTION.

A drawn back bow & arrow has store energy. The archer who refuses to release it, refuses to utilize its current potential.

When assuming its usual position (i.e., when not drawn), there is no energy stored in the bow.

Again, some people WANT you but they don't NEED you. They have no target goal for you.

Has your gift been sidelined?

Dormant Potential means not now showing signs of activity or existence. Latent applies to a power or quality that has not yet come forth but may emerge & develop.

Potential is dormant ability, reserved power, untapped strength, unused success, hidden talent, capped capability.

All you can be, but have not yet become. All you can do but have not yet done. How far you can reach, but have not yet reached. What you can accomplish, but have not yet accomplished. Potential is unexposed ability & latent power.

I'm praying for God's people to be released, redirected, reassigned & relocated where the fullness of God can be expressed & displayed for His purpose & glory.

Honestly,

Most people aren't afraid of God knowing & finding out. People are afraid of other people knowing & finding out.

People wanted to stone the woman caught in the very act of adultery.

People will bring your sins before Jesus but most won't bring their sins before Him.

Have you ever noticed how the Pharisees didn't bring the man who was also caught with the woman?

Sometimes we pick & choose who we want to love & judge? We protect some & persecute others.

However guilty is guilty whether it stays private or goes public.

No one is without sin, no matter if it's intentional or unintentional.

Here's what we don't realize what happens when we judge people.

As soon as you find someone else guilty of a sin, the forgiveness for our sins are voided, making us guilty as well.

We should be asking The Lord to give us a heart to help & love people who sin, not judge them.

We are not perfect. Jesus had to die for everyone. No one was exempt. Therefore there's nothing anyone has done to make them Righteous or not guilty.

"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:32

Who are we to look down upon the people God descended down upon to love?

He came to convert us from sin, not to condone our sins or condemn us of sin.

His Love & goodness convicted our hearts of God's righteousness.

Without Jesus we guilty of everything. So how can we rightful judge when our righteousness is dependant upon Jesus?

It's time to let God Himself check our hearts.

For some reason we love showing people Judgement instead of showing them Jesus.

- Judgement shows people Guilt.
- Jesus shows people God.
