Jacob was afraid when he saw Esau coming with 400 men, so he divided his company, putting those he valued most (Rachel and Joseph) in the rear. Jacob had already honored Esau before this by sending messengers ahead of him to Esau with many gifts. And as a great leader, Jacob boldly went before everyone to be the first to greet Esau, risking his life and everything he had. Wow Joseph, What a great way to start your morning. This is what it means to dwell in the shelter of the Most High. Not only do you have My protection, but you see things from My perspective, a heavenly perspective. Today will be an extraordinary day for you and the Kingdom of God.

Jesus, thank You for this morning’s rich abiding time. Thank You that Your promises are yes and Amen. Thank You for Your covenant promise that You will protect me from ALL types of evil. Thank You for opening my eyes of understanding to that truth. Jesus, I’m all ears. What would you like to share with me? Before moving on to new things, it’s important to understand, apply, and complete the old.

This morning during my quiet time in my Sacred Place, I began reading Psalm 91: God’s Umbrella of Protection, a book by Peggy Ruth that Nancy Sharman gave away yesterday at the Culpeper Ministerial Association meeting. The key message that jumped out at me during this morning’s quiet time was from the Psalm 91 book – “In your day of trouble call upon Me, and I will answer you!” Wow!

In his email to me dated December 15, Dr. Bruce Cook wrote “Be expecting a powerful surprise this week. Just remember, in business it’s not always about whether you know someone. Often it Is about value that was created, or trust that leads to action.” Yesterday (December 16), I received a special gift in the mail from Bruce – Sacred Time, Sacred Place: A Journal – by Patricia King. This morning after listening to my entire scheduled playlist for Day #17 on my iPod in bed, I came to my “Sacred Place” to journal using this gift from Bruce. Wow! What transpired was amazing. This is a GAMECHANGER in my life.

On October 27, 2010 I began weekly Breakthrough Life Coaching sessions with Lynne Lee, who lives in Derby, U.K. She and Renato Amato from Italy are strategic players for “The Spiritual Triangle Between Virginia, the U.K. And Italy.”

After just two weeks of Breakthrough Life Coaching, Lynne has begun experiencing extraordinary breakthroughs in several areas of her life. For example, Lynne now plans to offer “How To Hear God’s Voice” as a coaching program and she’s now writing a book this weekend that will be published and become a whole series of books.

The following is the November 9 post by Lynne Lee at the Christian Life Coaching Cafe “This is a powerful way to hear God.”

Joseph, thank you for setting aside this time early in the morning to meet with Me. I AM the way, the truth, and the life, not just one time, but every day, moment by moment. Seek Me and My counsel throughout the day. Fill yourself with My Word to BE transformed by the renewing of your mind. I AM love. Abide in Me and let My Words abide in you and My love will pour forth from you.

We have a living God, a speaking God! One who loves us, His children, and He particularly loves to speak to us! He can speak to any one of us who love Him. You might be thinking, “I read the Bible every day, so I’m hearing from the Lord every day.” While it’s good to read the Bible, the recorded Word of the Lord, which is the foundation of our Christian faith, it’s wonderful to also hear straight from the Lord …

Joseph, first of all, I want to say thank You for setting aside this time first thing in your morning for us to talk to BE with one another – unrushed, at peace, quiet. QUIET is your keyword for the day. It’s the keyword for the Media webinar today. You see Akiane is able to be extremely creative because she doesn’t have much of the noise (TV, radio, newspapers, and even books) that most other people do have. Noise is killing the culture. You must quiet your mind to hear clearly from Me. Not just once in a day, but morning, noon, and night. Meditate on Me and My Word 3x/day. Establish that habit. Force out everything else that won’t fit.

The Story Behind The Story is THE KEY to successful and highly prolific webinars. Everyone has a story. According to the TMCJ flash header, “Every person … every family … every community… every culture… every nation … needs THE STORY.” People can argue with your doctrine. People can argue with your religion and personal views. But no one can argue with your story.

This morning during one of my richest abiding times in weeks or months, the Holy Spirit serendipitously led me to a short recorded audio message about Transformation by Dr. Che Ahn. This resonated so favorably with my spirit, I felt compelled to share it.
