Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – what do we do with the guilty, stone or restore? Is punishment restorative? What is God like with the guilty?

John 8:4-5,7 TPT
[4] Then they said to Jesus, “Teacher, we caught this woman in the very act of adultery. [5] Doesn’t Moses’ law command us to stone to death a woman like this? Tell us, what do you say we should do with her?” [7] Angry, they kept insisting that he answer their question, so Jesus stood up and looked at them and said, “Let’s have the man who has never had a sinful desire throw the first stone at her.”

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – what do I do with God’s kindness towards me? Do I know it? Do I use it and abuse it? Or does it lead me into full life?

Romans 2:4  TPT
[4] Do the riches of his extraordinary kindness make you take him for granted and despise him? Haven’t you experienced how kind and understanding he has been to you? Don’t mistake his tolerance for acceptance. Do you realise that all the wealth of his extravagant kindness is meant to melt your heart and lead you into repentance?

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – God whilst invisible has made his nature, himself, visible in creation and fully in Jesus. So knowing what God is like only evades those who refuse to stop and see. I am guilty of this.

Romans 1:20  TPT
[20] Opposition to truth cannot be excused on the basis of ignorance, because from the creation of the world, the invisible qualities of God’s nature have been made visible, such as his eternal power and transcendence. He has made his wonderful attributes easily perceived, for seeing the visible makes us understand the invisible. So then, this leaves everyone without excuse.

Here is the revelation that is showing my life today – we make so much of life about what we can achieve on our own, and God wants us to do nothing on our own. Love always wants to be involved and enable me to do what I can’t do on my own.

John 6:65 NIV
[65] He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – there is only one true place of worship, heart worship. Our buildings carry no significance and can hinder heart worship when held out as the place where we meet God.

John 4:21 TPT
[21] “Believe me, dear woman, the time has come when you won’t worship the Father on a mountain nor in Jerusalem, but in your heart.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – good is of God, it comes from him alone, I don’t create goodness in me, he creates it in me and I encounter it in him, and then from encounter, I overflow goodness. It’s all in the seeing.

3 John 1:11 TPT
[11] Whoever does good is of God; whoever does evil has not seen God.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – love of God means living in obedience to loving each other. Love for God does not mean defending my interpreted rightness of him. He is clear about constantly loving each other, and leaves a lot else to the beauty of the journey, that we are to travel in love together. There is no end to constantly.

2 John 1:5-6 TPT

[5] Dearest woman, I have a request to make of you. It is not a new commandment but a repetition of the one we have had from the beginning: that we constantly love one another. [6] This love means living in obedience to whatever God commands us. For to walk in love toward one another is the unifying commandment we’ve heard from the beginning.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – nothing that is kept in the dark can be healed by the light. But I will only bring into the light what I think the light can handle.

John 2:23-25 TPT
[23] While Jesus was at the Passover Feast, the number of his followers began to grow, and many gave their allegiance to him because of all the miraculous signs they had seen him doing! [24] But Jesus did not yet entrust himself to them, because he knew how fickle human hearts can be. [25] He didn’t need anyone to tell him about human nature, for he fully understood what man was capable of doing.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – love makes me me, sets me free to be me, and then sends me to be me. It’s light and freeing.

1 John 5:3-4 TPT
[3] True love for God means obeying his commands, and his commands don’t weigh us down as heavy burdens. [4] You see, every child of God overcomes the world, for our faith is the victorious power that triumphs over the world.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – love is not learned it’s lived.

[17] By living in God, love has been brought to its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – judge or rescuer, decide on your role in the world and live accordingly. You will not be able to serve both these masters, one will trump the other. You will either be a condemner or a lover.

John 3:17 TPT
[17] “God did not send his Son into the world to judge and condemn the world, but to be its Savior and rescue it!

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – the more I am with Jesus the more I see myself, as a man with no sin. Union with him eradicates sin in me.
1 John 3:5-6,8 TPT
[5] And you know without a doubt that Jesus was revealed to eradicate sins, and there is no sin in him. Anyone who continues to live in union with him will not sin. [6] But the one who continues sinning hasn’t seen him with discernment or known him by intimate experience. [8] The reason the Son of God was revealed was to undo and destroy the works of the devil.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – what I am capable of is reflective of what I have allowed to shape my nature.

John 2:23-25 TPT
[23] While Jesus was at the Passover Feast, the number of his followers began to grow, and many gave their allegiance to him because of all the miraculous signs they had seen him doing! [24] But Jesus did not yet entrust himself to them, because he knew how fickle human hearts can be. [25] He didn’t need anyone to tell him about human nature, for he fully understood what man was capable of doing.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – love is the only command of God. So he submits himself to me and invites me to be loved. Walk in or walk away, God never changes his posture of submission.

1 John 2:3-6,12 TPT
[3] Here’s how we can be sure that we’ve truly come to know God: if we keep his commands. [4] If someone claims, “I have come to know God by experience,” yet doesn’t keep God’s commands, he is a phony and the truth finds no place in him. [5] But the love of God will be perfected within the one who obeys God’s Word. We can be sure that we’ve truly come to live in intimacy with God, [6] not just by saying, “I am intimate with God,” but by walking in the footsteps of Jesus. [12] I remind you, dear children: your sins have been permanently removed because of the power of his name.
