The Christmas season has been my favorite time of the year for my entire life. And now I’m sharing with you one of the greatest gifts God has bestowed upon me – Strategic Journaling. Discover how to STEWARD Your Time, Talent, Treasure, and Temple (Body) through Journaling to quickly experience breakthroughs in many areas of your life!

I told Bob Sims that November would be a BREAKTHROUGH month and it was. I had him relay that to Lynne Lee and then Lynne relayed that to you during the Coaches Mastermind Group call on Nov 19. Your spiritual ears were open to hear what I was doing. As a result of that and your obedience, I birthed four new prayer calls on Mondays. You and other Team Destiny TRIBE members will benefit greatly from that. The best way to start off the work week, any work week, is with prayer. Prayer unites hearts. Praying in My name, seeking My face with one another births My Father’s visions. It brings CLARITY – divine clarity.

I have shown you the Secrets of the Vine… To be a godly steward with your time, talent, treasure, and temple, you must come to Me first. There is no other way. I AM a jealous God. I want you to give Me the first and best of your time each and every day. There are all sorts to things to do to grab your attention, but spending time with one another is most important. There is no rush, there is no hurry in living on purpose. My plans are simple, yet profound. That’s how you can recognize them.

Randy, while My will is that no one should perish and that all should come to repentance, everyone has free will. Pride and greed are so strongly rooted in cultures that it takes a major upheaval to change the ways of man. Your journaling course on stewardship is just such an upheaval. When My people start to tithe their time for Me, you will see an Awakening and Revival like never before.

Thank You Randy for setting aside the time this morning to meet with Me, an opportunity for both of us to enjoy one another’s company. It’s so important for us to spend this time together. Not only will this be of great benefit to you and your family, but as others see the example you set and the fruit that results from abiding with Me, they too will be encouraged to come sit at My feet. Communion with Me, communion with God, is where the abundant life starts. It begins by resting in Me. It’s so simple, yet so few people grasp this.

If you haven’t been journaling at all or you journal very little (e.g. once per week or less), my recommendation is to start journaling 15 minutes per day. Building your HABIT of journaling can be compared to training to run your first marathon. If you haven’t been running at all, it’s usually a poor idea to go out and run 15 miles on your very first day.

Randy, thank you for your heart of gratitude. Thank you for opening a gateway to heaven consistently through your prayer, thanksgiving, and praise. Thank you for your consistency in posting messages to your Journal777 and YDB blogs. Thank you for your passion for Me and share your God stories with those who know you and are willing to listen. Thank you for modeling for others what you want to see happen to them. Thank you for believing my promise that this will be the best Thanksgiving and Christmas season for you ever. Keep the gateway to heaven open with praise, prayer, and thanksgiving.

On Saturday Nov 21, I had the privilege to attend “Awake! Arise!”, an all-day prayer retreat at Chauncey and Joan Hutter’s beautiful home in Charlottesville Virginia. At least 50-60 people gathered to give thanks and praise and pray to the King of kings and LORD of lords, opening a gateway to heaven. People came from communities throughout Virginia and even Washington D.C. And God did a special work on me.

To disciple a nation you need a philosophy that governs all aspects of behavior yet is flexible enough to apply to all sectors of society. What are the sectors of society the gospel must penetrate in order to disciple nations? There are in fact seven mountains or world kingdoms that make up the matrix in which the culture of every nation exists.

LORD, teach me what it means to seek Your Kingdom and Your righteousness first. Randy, “whenever you lack clarity” as to what to say or do, get alone with Me, quiet your mind, read My Word, and write down what you hear. That is seeking My Kingdom and righteousness first. Confusion is never from Me. Connect to Me – I AM the Vine. Fruitfulness is My state of being. It will be yours too as long as you stay connected to Me.
