The Abundant Life Blueprint

Here is today's communion meditation. Over the last couple of years, we've talked about the pipeline of living water God put within us that has God's spirit, wisdom, power, mind, grace, peace, joy, patience, love, health, energy, finances, and much more. Think about this for a moment... You don't have to use your wisdom, instead you can use God's. You don't have to rely on your level of peace, joy...

Here is today's communion meditation.   Philippians 2:2 says, "Therefore if you have any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit and purpose." We are in a time of the year, that is a reminder to be examining ourselves...

Here is today's communion meditation. Malachi 4:2-3 says, "“But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture. On the day when I act, you will tread upon the wicked as if they were dust under your feet,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies." This prophecy was given at the very end of the Ol...

Here is today's communion meditation.  The Feast of Trumpets is coming up on the evening of 9/15 and it starts the 10 Days of Awe, which are 10 days to remind us of the wonders of God.  In Psalm 119:27 David said, "Make me understand the way of Your precepts, So I will meditate on Your wonders." This time of year is a reminder to be meditating on the wonderful things God has done in our...

Here is today's communion meditation. Ephesians 6:13-16 says, "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of...

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.   We are getting close to the 10 Days of Awe... Which are the final days of the 40 Days of Teshuva.  The Feast of Trumpets is on 9/15/23, and it's typically celebrated by eating apples with honey, to symbolize a sweet new year.  The Feast of Trumpets starts the 10 Days of Awe, which lead up to the Day of Atonement(9/25/23), and during these 1...

Here is today's communion meditation.  Lately verses about God's courts seem to be standing out to me.  Psalm 100:4 says, "Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name." And Psalm 96:8 says, "Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts.  Notice the connection in these verses... We are...

Here is today's communion meditation.   Our message for 2023 is, "God Saved the Best Until Now," which comes from the story when Jesus turned water into wine.  John 2:7-9 says, " Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”They did so, 9 and the master of the...

Here is today's communion meditation.   In Mark 11:24 AMPC Jesus said, "For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer,   believe (trust and be confident)   that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]." In today's communion we are asking God to reveal to us any areas where we are praying but are not trusting and confident in him, so that we can turn it around....

Here is today's communion meditation.  In Matthew 13 is the parable of the sower. And in the parable one of the outcomes of a seed being sown is that the thorns choke it out.  Jesus said, " The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful." Thorns can pop up in ou...

Here is today's communion meditation. Ezekiel 31:13 says, "“But as for you, say to the Israelites, ‘You shall most certainly observe My Sabbaths, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, so that you may know [without any doubt] and acknowledge that I am the Lord who sanctifies you and sets you apart [for Myself]." The Sabbath rest is meant to be a sign that it is God who is...

Here is the Message for September. Our message for 2023 is, " God Saved the Best Until Now," and our message for September is "Doing What's Best in God's Eyes." To do what's best in God's eyes means seeing things from God's perspective. Every decision we make has unintended side effects, whether good or bad. And when we do what's best in God's eyes it helps us make decisions that create a ripple e...

Here is today's communion meditation.  Yesterday we talked about Psalm 32:10 which says, "Many are the woes of the wicked, but the LORD's unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him."   And we talked about developing the practice of breathing in and imaging God's unfailing love surrounding you, then exhale and imagine his love flowing through you out into the world. This is a very...

Here is today's communion meditation.  Psalm 32:10 Says, "Many are the woes of the wicked, but the LORD's unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him." The Hebrew word for "unfailing love," is "hesed," which is God's covenant commitment to lovingkindness.  Today I have an exercise for us to start practicing. Inhale deeply, and imaging God's unfailing love surrounding you, then exh...

Here is today's communion meditation. Recently we've been talking about deep waters. Proverbs says that the purpose in our heart is like deep waters, and our words are like deep waters. And Psalms says that God put the deep into storehouses.  While meditating on these verses I was reminded of Psalm 42:7-8 which says, " Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers...

Here is today's communion meditation.   The other day I was reminded of how important it is to stay relaxed while working out. We often think that straining and trying really hard makes us better... but it's not usually true. There was once a college track coach who would have his sprinters race each other at the beginning of the year and record their times. Then he would have them run a cool...

Here is today's communion meditation. Yesterday we talked  about deep waters. Proverbs 20:5 says, "The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out." And Proverbs 18:4 says, "The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook." After recording yesterdays communion meditation on deep waters I came across Psalm 33:7...

Here is today's communion meditation.   Lately I've been thinking about deep waters. Proverbs 20:5 says, "The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out." And Proverbs 18:4 says, "The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook." Notice the connection between our purpose and our words both being likened to de...

Here is today's communion meditation.   Both James 4 and Proverbs 27 tell us not to boast about all the things we are going to do. It says that all such boasting is actually evil.  Jeremiah 9:24 says, "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 del...

Here is today's communion meditation. The other day I came across Romans 8:28 TPT which says, "We are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good." Lately I have been thinking about the word, "hope." The Amplified Bible describes hope as "the confident expectation of good." In Hebrew one of the words for hope is "tiqvah," which is also translated as a "cord." Th...

Here is today's communion meditation. We are in the 40 days of Teshuva, which means turn or repent, and it's time to examine ourselves and change our ways. And recently I was feeling the nudge to ramp up my Bible reading. For many years, my pattern was to read a Proverb, a Psalm, and 10 pages of reading the Bible like a book every day. Lately my Bible reading had fallen back to about 4-6 pages per...

Here is today's communion meditation.   Have you ever felt like you were stuck in the rut of the daily grind? Like it's just another day you are trying to get through? Something I feel like God has been teaching me lately is the power of confident expectation in God to break us free from the ruts, and truly make today a masterpiece, because this is the Day the Lord has made, and we are suppos...
