Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – the more alive I am to the spiritual realm and the shaping it has upon my life, the more abundant and healthier life I live and release.

Give careful attention to your spiritual life and every cherished truth you teach, for living what you preach will then release even more abundant life inside you and to all those who listen to you.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – sin defiles, so sin disqualifies, what total ridiculous trash.
Mark 2:16 TPT

So they approached Jesus’ disciples and said to them, “Why is it that someone like Jesus defiles himself by eating with sinners and tax collectors?”

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – the grief of the loss of love can never be removed from the path of life, but hope can ensure I can walk the road.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 TPT
[13] Beloved brothers and sisters, we want you to be quite certain about the truth concerning those who have passed away, so that you won’t be overwhelmed with grief like many others who have no hope. [14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who died while believing in him.

1 Thessalonians 3:4 TPT
[4] In fact, when we were with you we forewarned you: “Suffering and persecution is coming.” And so it has happened, as you well know.

Here is the revelation shaping my life today – there is way too much talk and not enough awe and wonder in our lives with Jesus. It’s not meant to be this way. We have sanitised the beauty, danger, mystery and supernatural presence of God into a safely spoken religion about God who is as boring as religion has always been.
Mark 1:21-22 TPT
[21] Then Jesus and his disciples went to Capernaum, and he immediately started teaching on the Sabbath day in the synagogue. [22] The people were awestruck and overwhelmed by his teaching because he taught in a way that demonstrated God’s authority, which was quite unlike the religious scholars.

Here is the revelation shaping my life today- Jesus prays the prayer I pray in times of suffering because he gets me, he’s been me. The question is can I pray the prayer he concludes with in my seasons of suffering?
Matthew 26:39 TPT
[39] Then Jesus walked a short distance away, and overcome with grief, he threw himself facedown on the ground and prayed, “My Father, if there is any way you can deliver me from this suffering, please take it from me. Yet what I want is not important, for I only desire to fulfil your plan for me.”

Here is the revelation shaping my life today – the intellectual pursuit of God will never empower my conviction to live for him, like him, with him.

[5] For our gospel came to you not merely in the form of words but in mighty power infused with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today- I’m not who I think I am. I become the real me in the beauty of being loved.
Colossians 3:3,9-12,17 TPT
[3] Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life, and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ……Lay aside your old Adam-self with its masquerade and disguise. For you have acquired new creation life which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the One who created you; giving you the full revelation of God. In this new creation life, your nationality makes no difference, or your ethnicity, education, or economic status-they matter nothing. For it is Christ that means everything as he lives in every one of us! [12] You are always and dearly loved by God! So robe yourself with virtues of God, since you have been divinely chosen to be holy.…. Let every activity of your lives and every word that comes from your lips be drenched with the beauty of our Lord Jesus.

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – I’m invited to the life God intends and I am shaped for the life God intends from being at the party.
Matthew 22:8-9 TPT
[8] “Then the king said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, yet those who had been invited to attend didn’t deserve the honor. [9] Now I want you to go into the streets and alleyways and invite anyone and everyone you find to come and enjoy the wedding feast in honor of my son.’

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – I am deliberately building my life in and on Jesus, my personal experiences and encounters with him.
Colossians 2:6-9 NLT
[6] And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. [7] Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. [8] Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. [9] For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.
