words in season: Recent Episodes
kara marie morris
After graduating from Bible school and teaching young adults in her local church, Kara Morris has created a podcast for Christians of all ages to be equipped and encouraged with Bible-based teaching.
In this episode of the Words in Season Podcast, we explore the powerful connection between faith and wisdom through James 1 and Proverbs 2:7. God promises to give wisdom generously — but there’s one key requirement before we ask. Discover what it means to approach God with faith, trust, and expectation, and how His stored-up wisdom is waiting for those who walk uprightly.
James 1 :1-8 AMPC
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes scattered abroad [among the Gentiles in the dispersion]: Greetings ([a]rejoice)!
2 Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations.
3 Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience.
4 But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.
5 If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of [b]the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.
6 Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind.

Tune in for encouragement and practical truth to help you walk boldly in the peace and confidence that only faith can bring.

We often say, 'Love like Jesus,' but we must first know what it’s like to be loved by the Father—just as Jesus was, is and always will be.
📖 John 3:16, Song of Solomon 2:4
➡️ Joy comes out knowing we are loved by the Father like He loved His one and only Son.
“For here is eternal truth: When that time comes you won’t need to ask me for anything, but instead you will go directly to the Father and ask him for anything you desire and he will give it to you, because of your relationship with me.
Until now you’ve not been bold enough to ask the Father for a single thing in my name, but now you can ask, and keep on asking him! And you can be sure that you’ll receive what you ask for, and your joy will have no limits!”

A resting place in the presence of the Father …
📖 Isaiah 53:5 - Jesus accomplished our ability to receive peace.
Taking communion “in remembrance” of Him 🥖 🍷
📖 Matthew 11:28 😭 “come to Me…”
What/Who is it?
Peace is the result of the most important relationship you’ll ever have.
- can’t be worked up or “faith”ed into
- peace doesn’t come “by faith” it is an awareness of a Person
- not a feeling or lack of feeling
- nor a lack of challenge, adversity or conflict, but embracing that something is bigger and more real not a natural force in the world
- not “of the mind but of the Spirit”
- If you have to ask yourself, “is this peace?” It’s probably not. 😂
📖 Isaiah 32:17
- based out of relationship with the Father
📖 Isaiah 26:12
“Lord Yahweh, you will establish peace and prosperity for us, for all we have accomplished is the result of what you work through us.” Isaiah 26:12 TPT

Meditate on the Word:
- Eastern meditation empties the mind
- Western meditation just tries to think positive thoughts
- Biblical meditation fills, renews, and reprograms the mind with the Word of God
📖 Joshua 1:8
📖 Romans 12:1-2, Colossians 3:15
- It is not arrogance to agree with the Word, but takes intentional reprogramming.
Peace comes from a position of unearned righteousness. (knowing you’re forgiven and moving away from sin and toward Him)
📖 2 Corinthians 5:21, 📖 2 Timothy 3:16 - forever in training because it’s for my benefit
📖 Luke 7:37-50
Peace comes from true repentance. Repentance keeps love fresh.
Where does it come from?
Not from understanding but surrendering to a mighty Savior

📖 Hebrews 4:12 - “the Word that God speaks…”

❌Not just “positive thought or confession”
❌Not manifesting by will
It must be the spoken Word of God - speaking His Truth about me, over me, over circumstances, nations and seasons if I want to be able to “see by the eyes of faith.”
📖 Psalm 119:133
“I will make the right choices in life…”
“I will hear my Father’s voice…”
“God is working on my behalf and working all things together for my good…”
2 Types of Speaking:
1.from the soul (mind, will, emotion) & body of Kara
📖 Matthew 26:39-42 - not bad, evil, just not the “full picture”
To be able to do will of God, you have to give up your right to know everything in advance or to see the full picture. 🖼️
Walking by faith … 📖 Hebrews 11:6
📖 Proverbs 3:5-7
… going to CA ✈️ literally “leaning not to my own understanding”
When I get lost or the most frustrated is when I try to see with my own “eyes…” 👀
I don’t want to “logic” or simply “feel” my way in or out of a path, but be lead by Him to know the direction to take.
2. the heart of God (my spirit man’s realm)
Displays the importance of being grounded in the Word in partnership with the Holy Spirit. BOTH IMPORTANT
This type of speaking is important, because it allows for supernatural experiences to help me speak & see like God:
📖Colossians 3:15
- being lead by peace
- finality
- thankfulness
📖Zephaniah 3:17 - God is speaking over us.
📖Romans 14:17
- righteousness - right relationship, no condemnation, nothing separating
- heart peace
- joy in the Holy Ghost
The Kingdom of heaven is ours and we can speak from the reality into the place where God has us today. 📖 Luke 11 & Matthew 6

Redemption makes that possible, revelation makes is practical. (Able to be a doer of the Word 📖 James 1:22)
📖 James 1:21-25
Being a “doer” of what you know is directly impacted by in speak & see by faith in your life…
Being a “doer” is the action needed to activate the Word’s potential…
Speaking helps me get it planted in my soul and doing it helps me to see its potential. ( just like planting a seed in the grow helps me to see it grow.)

Jesus as the Light 💡
Hope - 📖 Isaiah 9:2-5, Hebrews 6:19
Salvation - 📖John 1:1-5, 9-14, 2 Timothy 1:10
Understanding/ wisdom - 📖 Ephesians 1:17-19, Philemon 6
I’m not going to know Him, just because I want to, try hard enough or be good enough in my own strength (that’s religion)… it requires LIGHT. 📖Titus 3:4-6
📖 Matthew 5:14-16
He delegates the authority to be Light in Christ. Allowing others to “see…”👀 Him.
📖 Revelation 21:22-25
▶️On earth we become the temple of the Holy Spirit as we receive Jesus Christ in our temporal bodies. 📖 1 Corinthians 6:19
Jesus made it possible that this temporal body is a tool for seeing His glory.
Redemption makes that possible, revelation makes is practical. (Able to be a doer of the Word 📖 James 1:22)
▶️Jesus Christ receives us we enter into heaven and He is the eternal temple, never to decay or die.
📖 1 Corinthians 15:54-55 - death is not the end for the Christian

"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen not only because I see it but because by it I see everything else.” - CS LEWIS
Darkness - confusions, fear, unable to see clearly and get hurt
📖 Psalm 119:105,130
📖 Proverbs 6:23
📖 Isaiah 9:2
📖 Isaiah 60:1-5 AMPC & MSG
The many-sided grace of God is beautifully revealed in the diverse expressions of the Body of Christ. Each member, uniquely shaped by His hand, reflects a facet of His love, wisdom, and power. But it is when we stand together, united by the Holy Spirit, that the true beauty of His design shines the brightest. In our unity, His love is made visible, His strength is made perfect, and His glory is revealed to the world.
If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 📖 Romans 12:18
- I want to contribute to the unity of the Body of Christ
- I DO NOT want to contribute to the dysfunction in the family of God.
The grass that God provides is always the sweetest and always the best provision.
🌱📖🕊️A Psalm of David -
1 The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.
2 He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.
3 He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him—not for my earning it, but] for His name’s sake.
4 Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.
6 Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.
📖 Psalm 141:4
What are some temptations?
- temptation to quit
- temptation to fear 📖 Proverbs 29:25
- temptation to get familiar with the things of God (laaaaaaaazy 😩) 📖 Jeremiah 23:29 🔥 consumes all in my life that didn’t pass the test
Disappointment must be dealt with or they will fester into bitterness and contempt.
📖 Hebrews 4:14-16 - Jesus over came EVERY temptation so now we can
In this final phrase of this prayer Jesus taught his disciples He was showing them that they had POWER TO OVERCOME SIN! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Luke 11:1-4
🙏🏻 fear prays reactionary prayers
🙏🏻 faith prays with authority and expects things to change to look like the promised God
👉🏻 test - a solicitation to obedience that results in a blessings (Tony Cooke)
📖 Genesis 22
📖 John 6:1-6 - shows where my faith is at
📖 1 Peter 1:7
Do you have to study to pass a test (in school, etc.)? No, but it’s usually a lot easier and better results if you do.
👉🏻 temptation - leaving God’s best for my life, usually disguised as “harmless, no big deal or every is doing it” aka sin
Not a sin to be tempted, but a sin to give in.
That is why Jesus is telling His disciples to “flee even the appraisal of evil.” 📖 1 Thessalonians 5:22
📖 James 1:13
this phrase denotes Surrender Humility A true desire to turn from sin, not just because “you might get caught” It is asking for the wisdom, grace and strength to not give into temptation an turn entirely away from the sin that entangled me in the past. 📖 Hebrews 12:1-2
The only way I can effectively and sustainably do this is to look at Him - LORD show me how to stay real, balanced and not fall into temptation.
📖Romans 8:1
📖Romans 3:24-26 - it’s the Blood!
❤️ The proportion to which God extended forgiveness to me is the same I can extend to myself and others.
Biblical forgiveness:
📖Philippians 3:12-15
➡️ allows for closure
➡️ allows you to move on and not have the past weighing you down
Remembering the past is a trap and a day that the enemy steals from your life. 📖John 10:10
📖Luke 10:19
▶️ Choose to forgive
▶️ Use your authority to forgive
▶️ Not something a believer can do on their own (need Father, Son & Holy Spirit)
▶️ we can help each other forgive by not feeding into the world’s system of offense
▶️ Don’t wait until you feel like forgiving
📖Hebrews 12:14-15
📖1 John 3:14/ John 13:35
❤️Forgiveness is what God extended to us & it was the decision of Jesus to fulfill that purpose.
“On the night He was betrayed…”
“You will deny me three times…”
His own family didn’t believe He was God, James until after His resurrection…
📖John 7:5
❤️Forgiveness is one of the numerous expressions of the love of God.
❤️A revelation of God’s love in the form of forgiveness is the only permanent and eternal antidote to condemnation.
📖 Matthew 6:9-13, Luke 11:4
📖 1 John 1:5-9 - forgiveness is an everyday working of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit in the life of the believer
3D Salvation ☝🏻 part of - all working together, Romans 8:16
📖 Mark 11:25-26
❌Forgiveness doesn’t mean you agree with that person’s beliefs or behaviors.
❌Forgiveness doesn’t mean you have to continually allow yourself to be put in toxic environments.
❌Forgiveness is not spiritual amnesia.
❌ Refusing to forgive is like drinking poison ☠️ and expecting the other person to die.
- Discontent -
- Envy, jealousy, wrath 📖 Proverbs 14:30, James 3:14-18 - these give you false information ℹ️ contrary to the Truth (always justifiable in man’s eyes)
- Jealousy - “ I want what you have.”
- Envy - “ I want what you have and it says something is wrong with me because I don’t have it.”
-
Wrath - “ I am angry because you when it and I don’t.” … turns into bitterness
-
📖 Philippians 4:11-13
- 📖 Proverbs 15:15
- Self-Pity - a counterfeit to the comfort of the Holy Spirit
📖 John 14:26
So what will I be eating … 🍽️
📖 Jeremiah 15:16
Jesus came as a Savior, as a Servant and as a Meal. (Born in a manger, sounds like French “to eat” manger 🥖)
What I won’t be eating this Christmas! 🎄
Artificial, MSG, additives 🤢 if you’re used to eating junk it takes a minute for your tastes buds and mind to catch up that that’s not really food or nourishing to your body
📖 Proverbs 31:27
🥖 the bread of idleness -
- Gossip - a counterfeit of Christian concern, compassion, relationship or self-esteem building 📖 Proverbs 20:19, 26:20-22
Putting someone else’s candle 🕯️ our won’t make your burn brighter.
Usually, when I find myself gossiping it’s because I am not happy where I am in life.
The beginnings and symptoms of bitterness and not allowing God to be the center of my life.

📖 What does the Bible say about heaven?
📖Luke 10:18-20, Philippians 4:3, Revelation 21:27- There is a book 📖 in heaven
📖 Mark 1:40-43
📖 Hebrews 5:8
Jesus didn’t allow the suffering to be a filter to change His view of the Father, His purpose or the people He was went to.
“Thy will be done…”
Praying these words with a pure heart (📖 Psalm 51:10-12) takes strength, humility and surrender.
Reasons why this makes my flesh squirm:
- it wants a formula
- it wants it when it wants it
- fear of the unknown
God is a Father, not a formula.
This King gives us our identity.
📖 Colossians 3:1-3
📖 Ephesians 1:4-5
📖 Romans 8:14-16
This King gave us the authority to reign over the enemy.
📖 Exodus 19:5-6
📖 1 Peter 2:9
This King is seated in our future home and is coming back again to take us to Him.
📖John 14:18
The times I get disappointed & distracted from my mission on earth, it’s because I have forgotten what the Kingdom looks like.
❌👑 when I start trying to live my life the natural world system and not where I’m from…
❌👑when I start putting “worldly” standards of timeline, success, worth
❌👑when I start putting what the King is able to do in earthly terms (God in a box)
❌👑 not Kara’s kingdom come (My flesh wants controllable, containable & comfortable.)
What is a kingdom without a King?
📖 Revelation 19:16
👑 Historically, the role of the monarch was to maintain the peace of the realm, oversee the administration of justice, and to uphold the rule of law in the land.
🇬🇧 Currently, The Sovereign acts as a focus for national identity & unity…; gives a sense of stability and continuity; officially recognizes success and excellence; and supports the ideal of voluntary service.
In all these roles The Sovereign is supported by members of their immediate family. 📖 2 Corinthians 5:20 - US 🙌🏻
How can I say with confidence “Thy Kingdom Come” if I’ve never been there?
📖 Luke 17:20-21 - within us
📚 Ephesians 1:3 - is mine, it’s yours, it’s ours
Something we learn from the Word & Spirit…something we can develop with others.
📖 Matthew 18:18-20
📖 John 6:63
No condemnation, the Bible is progressive revelation…for all eternity.
The revelation of the Word that I am living my life by is the direct proportion to the amount of Kingdom being reflected in my life.
🔹 Gives me a chance to repent/humble myself so He won’t have to
📖 1 Samuel 24:5 - even when he was “justified” by societal standards, he feared God more than man
🔹Sets my pace & standard of work
📖 Colossians 3:22-24
What Fear of the Lord is not -
- fear of man - in man’s hands/ in God’s hands - being able to see through someone else’s perspective
- Exaggerated opinion of ones weakness
- Familiarity leads to contempt 📖 Matthew 13:54-58
- Treat church/ process and Christian acts of prayer etc as common our ritual
🔹Gives wisdom beyond our natural experience or age 📖 Proverbs 1:7, 2:3-5 - not learning the hard way
🔹Allows us to honor leaders (even when we don’t agree)
📖1 Samuel 24:1-7
🔹Gives us the authentic ability to love people, but not depending on them for validation or identity.
📖 Proverbs 29:25
🔹Governs the world 🌎 of my thoughts
- what I am entertaining
- my daily narrative
- daydreams
- Life goals
📖 Philippians 4:8
🔹Enables me to be honest in my communication with myself and others
📖 Proverbs 30:8 - I don’t have lie to make myself look better to people or God ( 📖 Proverbs 6:16,19)
- Reminds me of home
📖 2 Corinthians 5:1
📖 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
I usually face life with a better attitude when I keep the perspective that all here on earth is temporary…helps me to enjoy the mundane and let go in my ego, pride, selfishness.
- Gives me a standard to live from
Not natural family…
📖 1 Peter 1:16-17 / only by His grace
- Reminds me that I’m a created being - full known and loved
📖Romans 1:20
The One Who knows me the best, loves me the most.
- Reminds I’m not alone
📖Isaiah 41:10
Two words that are like a string to lift my head to see Him…
📖 Psalm 3:1-3
📖 Psalm 42
- Reminds us of His omnipotence & omnipresence
📖 Hebrews 1:3
📖 Revelation 1:11
The natural mind considers plans possible or impossible by amounts of money, numbers, “has been or never been done before” as the probability of success.
📖 Zechariah 4:4-10
Think of the craziest dream you could ever imagine and God’s like…YES! Now they are thinking like me.
📖 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 - not of the mind, 27 - foolish things to confound the wise
“In heaven 🧠 mindset” - it’s normal to think that way there…
- Reminds me of home
📖 Romans 8:15-16
❤️Vs.15 freedom from fear, basis of any healthy relationship is freedom
❤️because He is love, it gives us the freedom to be ourselves in Him and to make room for the necessary humility it takes to come to the throne of grace 📖 Hebrews 4:15-16
❤️Vs.16 the Holy Spirit confirms our sonship, the enemy will condemn our relationship - anything to divide, steal, kill or destroy
Any thought, idea or suggestion that would make your question your sonship find its roots in hell itself and manifests as condemnation.
In the prayer that the Lord Jesus taught His disciples we can find insights into the Christian life and how the Father, Son & Holy Spirit work together to invite us in to a deep, living and intimate relationship.
The natural mind considers plans possible or impossible by amounts of money, numbers, “has been or never been done before” as the probability of success.
Thinking from God's perspective see His plan as no small thing for us.
Salvation in Jesus Christ is a GIFT, ETERNAL, FULL of JOY!
I can draw water from the deep reservoir of my salvation as I allow joy to be my strength.
Joyfully you’ll pull up buckets of water
from the wells of salvation.
And as you do it, you’ll say,
“Give thanks to God.
Call out his name.
Ask him anything!
Shout to the nations, tell them what he’s done,
spread the news of his great reputation! - Isaiah 12:3-4 MSG
Jesus Christ is the One & Only Living Savior. He was, is and is to come for all who will believe in their heart and confess with their mouths that He is Lord. The Way is so open and His love is so deep. Jesus is real. Jesus is alive. Jesus is coming back again.
The salvation plan of God for ALL mankind.
JESUS, our SAVIOR IS:
- planned before time & in love
- born of a virgin
- born to die
- suffered
- resurrected
- ever-living on our behalf
- making intercession for the believer
In this salvation provided by the Father to us through Jesus Christ, not one thing is left out or withheld. Spirit, soul & body; yesterday, today & forever; redeemed from spiritual death, sickness & poverty: the Trinity working in perfect harmony and provide it all to those who will believe.
The salvation that He bought and paid for with His own Blood is Omnipresent, always effective & working in the life of a believer. I need the Word as my special lens 👓 to see this salvation He provided in "3D."
I couldn't save or heal myself. In Christ, I find my self - made alive, raised, & seated with Him.
My salvation is tangible in the spirit realm, because when the Father sees me He sees the Blood of Jesus Christ.

How can I digest these things well?
The Holy Spirit is the fire of God in our life, the activator…like the enzymes or heat is to the natural digestion.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand & remember.
- Circle/ highlight 3 things that stood out for you and keep them in front of you. (Screen record important things…)
- Revisit the Words He spoke to you. (The Word you honor is the Word you will receive from.)
- Silence & quiet assists in remembering.
- Exercise what you’ve received.

Digestion:
- a person's capacity to break down food into substances that can be used by the body.
- CHEMISTRY ⚛️ the process of treating a substance by means of heat, enzymes, or a solvent to promote decomposition or extract essential components.
- It is a process that is necessary for me to receive, understand and utilize what God spoke to my heart. Precedes obedience….
I need digest these words to be ready:
- for His next Words
- I don’t confuse other peoples “words” for His Words.
- I don’t try to fit myself into a word that is not for me.
- Proper digestion promotes HUNGER!!!!

The heart of the Father reflected through my life, my focus, my attention and affection in this New Year. I believe it, because it is His will and I can see it as a promise in His Word, the Bible.
Lord, may we will see the lost and bring them home to You. May we encourage and love on the "found" the brethren and to lay our lives down for all brothers & sisters in the Body of Christ.
This is what I want to see in 2023.

📖 John 11:1-45
Jesus allowed Himself to be appropriately vulnerable to display His great love.
Jesus was emotionally available to those who honored Him. (The Bible didn’t say Jesus sent praying hand emojis, HE WEPT!)
👉🏻 as all God/ all man He had limitations He willingly chose in order that His identification would become our justification, sanctification and redemption.
Jesus humbled Himself in transparency in mission and motive.📖 Luke 19:10
Jesus was “home/ a tabernacle” for those who would receive Him.
📖John 1:12-15
WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING “home” TO OTHERS THIS CHRISTMAS.
📖Romans 12:15
Home is a safe haven and a comfort zone.
- A place to live with our families and enjoy with friends.
- A place to build memories as well as a way to invest in the future.
- A place where we can truly just be ourselves.

Jeremiah 9:23-24
“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength
or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this:
that they have the understanding to know Me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord.

❌🎉🚫The party no one should ever accept an invitation to.
- Starts with a party of one and then sends out invites by word of mouth or social media
- This type of invitation can act as an “alarm” or “wake up call” to where i am at in life.
- Invitations are going out daily, even momentarily.
- Accepting this invite would be an insult to my Dad. (Heavenly Father)
- All humans who have ever lived have received and invite, even Jesus.
- Doesn’t matter your social, economic, cultural or familial status.
It’s the Pity Party 😩
- It’s a strategy of the enemy to isolate you, if not, to poison others with your hurt.
- The enemy’s way of twisting the love and compassion of God.
What happens when we feel sorry for ourselves?
- Blurs my vision
- Clogs your “hearing” to the voice and Spirit of God
- Hinders trust between you and the Father
- Begins to form a wrong image of Christ in you…”a deformed Christ” Galatians 4:19, Romans 12:3
- “Frustrates the grace of God” Galatians 2:21
Don’t have to feel guilty for for receiving the invitation, just don’t stay there.
- Elijah - 1 Kings 19:1-
- No reason to feel sorry for himself, but did.
- Job - Job 23:8-17, 42:2-3
- Every reason to feel sorry for himself.
They both made it because they didn’t stay there.
Your testimony is only a burden if you try to carry it yourself.
Romans 8:28

I AM FREE IN CHRIST.
So why do I keep walking back into the prison cell of sin and acting like it's a better idea for me? Sometimes it's a learned behavior, fear of change or failure, but not matter the fruit, Jesus Christ has taken care of the root. Liberation from sin itself.

God makes temples, not trash.

God doesn’t join Himself with death. (trash) We are ONE with Him!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Everything changed when Jesus went back to heaven. He knew that His followers would be full of fear, worry, and anxiety until He explained that they were not going to have to walk out life alone. They were not being abandoned. The message is the same to believers today you are not alone, you have the Holy Spirit within you. He doesn’t come and abide within you only when you are in church or when you are feeling “spiritual” that day. He has come to live in you forever! The more we acknowledge His presence the more aware we can be of Him every moment of every day.

“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”
- Matthew 25:1-13
- Revelation 5:9
Jesus is the soon coming King and He is coming back for you and for me. So how do we become and stay ready for His return? It is for us to live our lives completely devoted and consecrated to Him!
Being ready for the return of our soon coming King means I will live life through these three points that we have looked at:
-
Jesus is my Savior.
-
Jesus is my Lord.
-
Jesus is my soon coming King.

Take a moment right now and give your heart to Jesus. Tell Him that you want Him, for there is no other God, but the Father God and there is no other Savior, but Jesus Christ.
If you prayed this prayer for the first time or rededicated your life to the Savior Jesus Christ please e-mail me at morris.k.07@gmail.com and let me know how I can continue to pray for and with you as you take this life changing decision.

God is THE Creator
Hebrews 11:3 TPT Genesis 1:1 Jeremiah 1:5 Psalms 139 Genesis 1:26 AMPC
God is THE Alpha & Omega.
Revelation 22:13 TLB Isaiah 44:6-8 TLB Isaiah 45:5 TLB
God is THE Father.
Isaiah 64:8 ESV Malachi 2:10 ESV Psalm 103:13 ESV 1 John 3:1 TLB
From looking at examples in God’s Word, I can be so reassured that I am loved by an incredibly wonderful and intentional God. God the Father is the True, Living God and there is no other than Him. If you are searching today, if you are dissatisfied with your life today, if there are hurts that you can’t seem to let go of, I encourage you to call on His Name. He is the One Who created you, to love you.

So now that I have experienced this process and even began to see some fruit, what is next?
Give it back to Him – Part of being a good steward of the God dream is to give it back to Him and watch Him make it more than you ever could.
“Me” is one of smallest words. I don’t me the scarcity of letters, but the shallowness of scope and vision. The only cure is to look up!
- 1 Chronicles 29:14 AMPC
- 1 Corinthians 15:10 MSG & AMPC
Benefits of giving your dream back to Him - multiplication:
o Greater vision
o Greater clarity
o Greater reach
Allowing God to multiply what He has already entrusted me with will take:
· Faith/trust
· Effort
o Movement towards the goal
o Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit
o Patient persistence
Ultimately, God takes the dream He gives you and multiplies it, if you will simply give it back to Him.

God will meet you will you pull up to the table of creativity.
God has instilled creativity in all of His people.
The Process:
Pre-Production - inspiration, the idea, spending time with the Lord and it will begin to flow
Production - can be tedious, will take hard work, balance and reworking priorities to get what God put in out to be able to bless others
Post-Production - social media posts, word of mouth promotion, helps keep the momentum and excitement
All of the parts of this process are just as important as the inspiration.
Working on a creative process/project as a Christian takes faith + putting your hand to the plow, then God can multiply it far above you could ask, hope, dream or imagine.

What you don’t value is what you are in danger of losing.
Value: to consider or rate highly: honor; prize; esteem; to rate or scale in usefulness, importance, or general worth.
The opposite side of value is taking for granted; treating as common; something or someone that is around all the time so nothing is special about it/them
So Who/what should I place value on?
1. God
- Deuteronomy 6:5 NET – “You must love [value] the Lord your God with your whole mind, your whole being, and all your strength."
- Deuteronomy 4:39 AMPC
- John 12:2-7 (TPT)
- Job 23: 12 AMPC
2. People
We are most like the Father when we value His creations, made in His image and likeness.
3. Things (AKA money, opportunities, gifts and callings)
- Ephesians 1:4-5

Hebrews 12:1-3 MSG & AMPC
So what is focus? A couple of definitions are: a center of activity, attraction, or attention : a point of concentration: directed attention: a state or condition permitting clear perception or understanding: adjustment for distinct vision
Ephesians 1:18 Mark 1:35
So what can I learn from the way Jesus stayed focused to do God’s will? · He knew the Father’s Message · He knew the Father’s Mission · He knew the Father’s Methods

Strategy: a plan of action designed to achieve a major or overall aim; forethought – careful consideration
Who thought outside of the box in the Bible:
Noah - Genesis 2 & 7
Moses - with the his father-in-law, Exodus 18
Jesus - John 3:16, Revelation 3:18
So I can see how help from strategy that comes from Godly wisdom:
-
keeps me from getting worn out and burnt out
-
allows me to pass along the message, to teach and train
-
to be more efficient with the time and resources God gave me
-
allows others to be more involved which will usually help with people becoming and staying connected with the task, ministry, etc.
So what has helped me get out of small “boxy” thinking , you might ask:
-
Meditating on the fact that I am not stuck, not limited in Christ to my background, culture, what my parents said or society calls me 2 Corinthians 5:17
-
Not letting the past define me (even the good)
-
Writing 300 things I wanted to see in 2020, taking it seriously
-
Having a 1 goal and working on that
-
Sometimes when brainstorming, draw a box and put thoughts outside of it just to get warmed up
-
Be around people with vision
o Doesn’t have to be exactly like yours
o Atmosphere for faith growing

- James 1: 17 AMPC
- Romans 11:29 AMPC
“For God’s gifts[dreams] and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]”
- Luke 1: 27-38AMPC - Mary receives the dream from God
- Luke 2:19 TPT
What can I learn from the dream Mary had in her heart:
· Came as she was found seeking the Lord in her life
· Only God could bring it to pass, but she had to be willing to accept that it was possible.
· She had to take steps to obey. (Name her son Jesus, marry Joseph)
· She had to revisit the dream to keep it alive in her heart.
So what does a dream look like to me today:
· Seek the Lord
· Be willing to see the impossible as possible
· Believe that God’s plan/purpose/gift/callings don’t change because of any circumstances
· Be ready to trust that God will bring the vision in your heart to pass
What if I feel stuck? How do I begin to dream?
· God’s Word expands your vision/horizons
- Joshua 1:8 MSG
“And don’t for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you’ll get where you’re going; then you’ll succeed. Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take.”
· Prayer with Him assures of His hand on you
- Jeremiah 11:29
- Hebrews 13:5
“For He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not,[I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!].”
· Be around people who “see” bigger than you
· Serve in a church/ministry that has a worldwide vision
o It’s contagious!
· Take time to write things down and revisit them

2 Chronicles 7:14 Numbers 12:1-15
Why do I not have the fear of the Lord when it comes to leaders?
1 Timothy 6:1-2 1 Samuel 24:5-6 1 Timothy 2:1-4
- Leaders are worthy of honor a. Not because of their skill, knowledge or ability b. Not because they make decisions to your liking c. Not even because of their character
- Leaders are worthy of prayers As prayers are lifted up for leaders in every office, position and place things will change. First of all, your heart will change towards them. That one way that God will heal the wounds of a nation. Most importantly as you pray for & honor leaders: a. it changes you (still does not mean you will agree 100%) b. it allows you to see change is possible c. it allows you to see others as God see them d. ULTIMATE GOAL: being able to point, lead and disciple others to Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 2:4)

Keys to Missions:
1. Be ready to learn & be flexible
For example, learning how to drive a "stick shift" car.
2. Don't over spiritualize personality or culture
Kingdom culture first
Ask: "What aspect of this culture brings life?"
3. Must develop personal relationship with God
Cannot depend on other's alone, must have a personal relationship with God. Relying on someone else's vision or charisma will only take you so far.
3a. Find people that you can pray with (builds trust)

Review of the Time Machine Manifesto - 1. Friendships matter. 2. The call killer is comparison. 3. Free”dumb” is a thing without Jesus. 4. Communicate don’t manipulate; not just saying what I think others want to hear 5. More to me than I can see, 3 part being 6. Satisfaction for “spiritual hanger” 7. Don't be afraid of the struggle
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
(Not talking about sickness, pain or disease here) A couple of struggles that I have tried to avoid in the past are: · Dealing with difficult people/co-workers · Dealing with job functions that no one likes or wants to do · Having tough conversations to develop relationships · Being vulnerable in learning something new · Embracing change · Staying put when everyone around you seems to be moving on · Having to start over, take extra time or have patience with an outcome or task (AHHHHHHH=)
Ruth 1:16-17 Ruth 2:2-3 Ruth 2:11-12 Esther 2:8 MSG Esther 2:15-17
So what can I learn from the struggle, like Ruth & Esther? 1. It may not be the obvious or popular choice. 2. It will involve some hard work. 3. It will allow me to see the blessing of where I am at today. a. To see value in staying put (loyalty) 4. It will allow God’s grace to be what shines in my life!

Sometimes it is hard to put concrete language on thoughts, feelings and ideas and the Lord knew that. So instead of disregarding the “soulish” part of us (mind, will and emotions) He gave us comparisons of what His relationship is to this unseen part of our being. He knew that every person, in every culture, in every time period would understand examples of what it is like to want and need life basics like food and water. · Psalms 103:5 · Jobs 23:12 Spiritually hanger – an state of becoming irritable, hard to live with, overly critical, and unloving due to lack of appropriate sustenance. · Psalms 63:1, 5, 8 · Psalms 17:15 · Psalms 107:9 · Isaiah 55:1-2 · Jeremiah 31:25 · Joel 2:26 · John 4:34 · John 6:48-56 · Isaiah 26:9 · Psalms 73:25 · Revelation 7:16-17 · Revelation 21:6 -7 · Revelation 22:17b

Saying what you think other want to hear is NOT effective communication.
Manipulation is false sense of control because:
- Effective communication is two-sided.
- Control/Authority of circumstances only comes from God.
- Whatever you had to do to get that thing, reaction or relationship is the same you'll have to do to keep it. (so really that thing, reaction or relationship is really running your life.)
Saying or doing something to "get" some one do do something, based on what I think they should be doing, is NOT of God.
I am blessed with "pure speech" because of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Whom I can trust 100%. His plan is the best plan!

something that comes from man

something that comes from a government (can protect, but it truly comes from Above)

The Time Machine Manifesto: What advice would I give myself 10 years ago?
I would tell myself that who you are friends with really does matter.
- Proverbs 27:17 (TPT)
- Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (AMPC)
- Amos 3:3 (MSG)
- 1 Corinthians 15:33 (TPT)
- 2 Corinthians 6:14 (AMPC)
- Mark 2:13-17 (TPT)
1. Friendships Matter
· a God friendship will take effort, time and resources.
o Not always convenient timing
o Not always fun. (confrontation, apologies)
o Not one sided
· a God friendship is someone who is going the same way as you.
o You have unique and specific path God has you on.
o You will never change a person. (that is God’s job alone)
o You can be unequally yoke with believer or unbelievers.
o Jesus was able to be a Friend to sinners because of His close relationship with the Father.
· a God friendship will always lead you closer to Him.
o Makes you want to walk closer to Him
o Makes you want to please Him
o Makes you want to do what He has called you to
So what would I tell myself 10 years ago about friendship?
o You can’t be friends with everyone.
o There is a difference between general friendships and covenant friendship.
o God has friends for us in the place He has us.
o Depend on Him first.
