#WFJ: QUIET is your keyword for the day

5 October 2010 No Comment

Jesus, thank You for a good night’s rest. Thank You for a comfortable bed, soft pillow, warm covers, and a roof over our heads. Thank You for food on the table and in our refrigerators. Thank You for yesterday. Thank You for all that I accomplished. Thank You for my phone call with Will. Thank You for the emails I sent and received for encouragement and inspiration. Thank You for the steps I took to help people move forward in the webinar course. Thank You for the two walk/runs I had with Maui. Thank You for the breakfast and lunch Julia made me. Thank You for keeping me fighting to get Bruce here this weekend.

Today, right now, I ask to die to myself to rise to new life in You. I ask that my day be “all of You and none of Me.” I ask that Thy will be done, and Thy Kingdom come in my life, my marriage, and family. Begin right at home. Purge out all the evil within me. Eliminate any and all selfish pride. Remove any hindrances in my character that are keeping me from prospering in all areas of my life. Help me to take definite action to outsource the editing of audio and videos for webinars. Help me to launch the The Story Behind The Story series. Help me to follow through with the 3 initiatives I said I would. I’m all ears and eyes Jesus, listening and watching to see what You will say to me. You know the Father.

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. I desire Crazy Love from you.

When you make lists of things to do during your quiet time, don’t feel obliged to do all or even most of them that day. Choose a few things to do each day and focus on those. Be sure to take care of the temple of the Holy Spirit. Get adequate rest. Exercise 6 days each week, including stretching and strength training. BE at peace. As Mac Anderson says in his video, exercise is very important in reducing stress.

Talk to Julia about helping her launch her own fitness membership. She already has Xtrainhers.com reserved. Ask her questions. Then My Spirit will do the rest.

Joseph, what do you see?

I see a jet plane flying through the sky doing 360′s and leaving no wake of smoke behind it. What does that mean?

The plane represents speed, to remind you of LEVERAGE, your keyword for life. The courses you teach are all to be about leverage. Your journaling course is to be called Leverage Your Life With Journaling. Start this coming Monday October 11. The Visions777 course will be ending so you will have ample time for that. Start The Story Behind The Story next Thursday. This Thursday evening I want you to host a webinar with Robbie to launch your Leverage Your Life With Passion and Purpose course.

Jesus, this seems like too much. Am I really hearing from you or are these my own thoughts. I don’t want to create an Ishmael. I want only Isaac’s. Please put up roadblocks to the right and left to keep me on Your straight and narrow.

Joseph, what does Mark Virkler teach about hearing My voice?

He says that if I quiet my mind, fix my eyes on You, tune to spontaneity, and journal, then I will hear from You.

And are you doing all four of those?

I think so, Jesus.

Of course you are Joseph. You are quite good at staying focused in a conversation with someone even when there are lots of distractions around you. It’s Me who is guiding you and talking to you. You are merely writing down what you hear. You are being spontaneous. You never would come up with thoughts like these. Taste and see that I AM good. I AM YOUR good Shepherd.

Joseph, find and review your notes about your commitment to the 3 new initiatives and the progress you have made so far.

Blessings to listen to and obey the voice of the LORD!

Joseph
