Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – important issues should never be prioritised over the importance of love. We become frauds of the Kingdom when we are more concerned with issues and behaviour than we are with the sacrificial expression of love.

Luke 11:42 TPT
[42] “You Pharisees are hopeless frauds! For you are obsessed with peripheral issues, like paying meticulous tithes on the smallest herbs that grow in your gardens. These matters you should do. Yet when you unjustly cheat others, you ignore the most important duty of all: to walk in the love of God. Readjust your values and place first things first.

Hebrews 8:6-7,10 TPT
[6] …since he (Jesus) is the catalyst of a better covenant which contains far more wonderful promises! [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless no one would have needed a second one to replace it. ……10] For here is the covenant I will one day establish with the people of Israel: I will embed my laws within their thoughts and fasten them onto their hearts. I will be their loyal God and they will be my loyal people.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – the way to live intimately loved by God is completely, forever open to all.

Hebrews 7:19,25,27 TPT
[19] For the law has never made anyone perfect, but in its place is a far better hope which gives us confidence to experience intimacy with God!

[27] ….he finished the sacrificial system, once and for all when he offered himself.

[23] Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.

Hebrews 4:1-3 TPT
[1] Now God has offered to us the same promise of entering into his realm of resting in confident faith. So we must be extremely careful to ensure that we all embrace the fullness of that promise and not fail to experience it. [2] For we have heard the good news of deliverance just as they did, yet they didn’t join their faith with the Word. Instead, what they heard didn’t affect them deeply, for they doubted. [3] For those of us who believe, faith activates the promise and we experience the realm of confident rest!

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – the secrets and mysteries of the spiritual realm and heard by a listening heart, not an inquiring mind. And I have been given this heart. So I lack nothing to understand the secrets and mysteries of God, other than my choice to exercise my listening heart.

Luke 8:9-10,18 TPT
[9] Later his disciples came to Jesus and asked him privately what deeper meaning was found in this parable. [10] He said, “You have been given a teachable heart to perceive the secret, hidden mysteries of God’s kingdom realm. But to those who don’t have a listening heart, my words are merely stories. Even though they have eyes, they are blind to the true meaning of what I say, and even though they listen, they won’t receive full revelation. [18] So pay careful attention to your hearts as you hear my teaching, for to those who have open hearts, even more revelation will be given to them until it overflows. And for those who do not listen with open hearts, what little light they imagine to have will be taken away.”

[1] And so, dear brothers and sisters, you are now made holy, and each of you is invited to the feast of your heavenly calling.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – faith is a posture for life that moves me into the realm of heaven to earth supernatural, but it is not a control of the one who brings heaven to earth.

Luke 7:8-9,13-14,23,50 TPT
[8] “Unlike you, I am just an ordinary man. Yet I understand the power of authority, and I see that authority operating through you. I have soldiers under me who obey my every command. I also have authorities over me whom I likewise obey. So Master, just speak the word and healing will flow.” [9] Jesus marvelled at this. He turned around and said to the crowd who had followed him, “Listen, everyone! Never have I found even one among the people of God a man like this who believes so strongly in me.”

13] When the Lord saw the grieving mother, his heart broke for her. With great tenderness he said to her, “Please don’t cry.” [14] Then he stepped up to the coffin and touched it. When the pallbearers came to a halt, Jesus said to the corpse, “Young man, I say to you, arise and live!”

23] And tell John these words: ‘The blessing of heaven comes upon those who never lose their faith in me no matter what happens.'”

Luke 6:6-11 NIV
[6] On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shrivelled. [7] The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. [8] But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shrivelled hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” So he got up and stood there. [9] Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” [10] He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored. [11] But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” [6] When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. [8] When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” [10] and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.”
