Live Inspired II

Episode Summary

Living inspired starts with with a willing heart.

Episode Notes

• Isaiah 1:19,NKJV-  “If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;”
• MSG- If you willingly obey, you’ll feast like a king.

• Living inspired starts with with a willing heart.

• Like we said last week, our Father is waiting for each of us to take the next step in the life He's already seen we could have.

• What if we started each day with the expectation that today’s gonna be one of the days He’s already seen.

• We’ve got to stay open to the reality that there’s something God wants to accomplish through each of His children. 
• And according to Acts 10:34,NLT- Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism.”

• We are a chosen generation of royalty, we are fearfully and wonderfully made. At the end of the day, it simply comes down to those willing and obedient. 

• Remember last week, “I call heaven and earth as witness to the choice you make.”

• This is why Paul tells us to make the most of every opportunity.

• Here’s the deal, living inspired means there will be times we have to step out beyond our own abilities and Trust, Delight, Commit.

• Psalm 37:3-5,NKJV- Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 
• Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 
• Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.

• This truth is possibly one of the greatest faith builders God left for us.
• And make no mistake, there’s no other way of discover or living an inspired life outside of faith.

• Maybe the best we I can describe faith is our positive response to what God has already provided for us by grace.

• There is absolutely nothing that can replace time in God’s word, it’s where we discover our new lives He’s designed for each of us.

• And hands down the Joshua 1:8 principle is the key component in our success in an inspired life.

• Joshua 1:8,AMP- This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, 
• you shall read, meditate on it day and night, 
• so that you may be careful to do everything in accordance with all that is written in it; 
• for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful.

• And since we are these chosen people, fearfully and wonderfully made, the seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise. God plans is to use each of our lives to be a testimony of His blessing.

• Genesis 12:2-3,NKJV- “I will make you a great nation; 
• I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. 
• I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

• You gotta love how God prophesied Abraham’s life to him.

• Galatians 3, You must know that only those who are in Christ are sons of Abraham. Christ redeemedus so that the blessing of Abraham might come on us, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

• And it all started with God giving Abraham one simple step of faith, “go where I’m telling you.”

• And it may sound over simple, but Jesus is asking us the same thing today. Simply Trust, Delight, Commit.

• Go where I’m telling you, do what I’m asking you, one step at a time, one day at a time, one inspired life at a time.

• Remember, I will bless you and make you great so that you will be a blessing!
• This is why our faith is so important.

• Jude 20, Beloved, build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith, continually progressing, rising higher and higher.

• Ultimately, because of who God has made us, we have to take our God ordained lives and exercise our influence. And here’s the deal, according to the apostle Paul, “its according to the power that works in us.”

• I believe this is Isaiah’s point, If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land

• Ephesians 3:20,NKJV- Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

• As I’m putting this talk together, meditating on these revelations from God’s Spirit, I can’t help but wonder how many of us find ourselves following logic instead of God?

• Kinda like baptism, think about it, being dunked in some water, in the natural… come on. But spiritually, according to Jesus it’s an eternal statement for every believer.

• God knows each of us, exactly where we are, what we’re going through, and He’s still got great plans for everyone of us.

• But, as long as we’re okay living without more of God in our lives, we will.

• But the moment we start talking steps of faith toward God, the more inspired our lives become.

• Listen to Paul’s prayer for us out of Ephesians;
• That we embrace the Spirit of wisdom and revelation 
• That we know the hope of His calling
• That we walk in the greatness of His power 

• Remember, living inspired starts with a willing heart.

• Living inspired means there will be times we have to step out beyond our own abilities and trust, delight and commit our way to Him.

• This is why God told us He would bless us and make us great, so we will be a blessing!

• He doesn’t show favoritism or partiality to anyone.

• The Joshua principle isn’t some religious, legalistic suggestion, it’s spiritual law.

• Joshua 1:8,AMP- This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, 
• you shall read, meditate on it day and night, 
• so that you may be careful to do everything in accordance with all that is written in it; 
• for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful.

• Deuteronomy 28:13,NKJV- “And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.”

• Since God has called each of us, according to Joshua and Deuteronomy, He hasn’t called any of us to failure.
• The inspired life is a success life. 

• John 10:10,AMP- “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it in abundance, to the full, till it overflows.”
• So,  TRUST IN THE LORD
• DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD
• COMMIT YOUR WAY TO THE LORD
