Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – weakness is not to be hidden but embraced.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 NLT
[7] So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud. [8] Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. [9] Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses so that the power of Christ can work through me. [10] That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – there is no fear in my life with God for His salvation is in His presence.
Romans 2:4 NLT
[4] Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – we want freedom but struggle when it’s given freely. We don’t trust love to shape us, so we crave manipulation of the law. We miss God completely if we can’t break free from this story.
Galatians 2:16,19,21 NLT
[16] Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.” [19] For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law-I stopped trying to meet all its requirements-so that I might live for God. [21] I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – I choose.

Matthew 4:3-4,6-7,9-10 NLT

[3] During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” [4] But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'” [6] and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, ‘He will order his angels to protect you. And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’ ” [7] Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the LORD your God.'” [9] “I will give it all to you,” he said, “if you will kneel down and worship me.” [10] “Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the LORD your God and serve only him.'”

 

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – making it or made it? The perspective you have on life will shape your life profoundly.

Galatians 3:5,10 TPT

[5] Let me ask you again: What does the lavish supply of the Holy Spirit in your life, and the miracles of God’s tremendous power, have to do with you keeping religious laws? The Holy Spirit is poured out upon us through the revelation and power of faith, not by keeping the law! [10] But if you choose to live in bondage under the legalistic rule of religion, you live under the law’s curse. For it is clearly written: “Utterly cursed is everyone who fails to practice every detail and requirement that is written in this law!

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – God works on upside down logic, if you bring nothing that makes you worthy of entry then that is the only way to come into His life.

Matthew 5:3 TPT

[3] “What wealth is offered to you when you feel your spiritual poverty! For there is no charge to enter the realm of heaven’s kingdom.”

 

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – motivation is critical, generosity is invited.

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 NLT

[6] Remember this-  a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. [7] You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – I realise how blind I am to a bigger life that is all around me.

Romans 1:19-21,25 NLT

[19] They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. [20] For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. [21] Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. [25] They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today- how deceived I can become and how deception shapes my life. The simplicity of nine words can transform me.

Acts 20:35 NLT

Remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.'”

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – we are all looking for ‘God’ even if we would not recognise or declare this searching. This was His purpose for all of us, that no one would not find Him, so He gave us all a longing and seeking. We all what to know where do I find life, where do I get meaning, why am here. It’s all found in Him.

Acts 17:27-28 NLT

[27] “His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him though he is not far from any one of us. [28] For in him we live and move and exist.”

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – the story you choose will shape your life not the place you find yourself in. I must stop blaming circumstances for the life I am living and take responsibility to posture myself in a way that shapes my place.

2 Corinthians 6:10 NLT

[10] Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – religion completely wrecks  grace.

Acts 15:5-6,11 NLT

[5] But then some of the believers who belonged to the sect of the Pharisees stood up and insisted, “The Gentile converts must be circumcised and required to follow the law of Moses.” [6] So the apostles and elders met together to resolve this issue. [11] We believe that we are all saved the same way, by the undeserved grace of the Lord Jesus.”
