ENTRUSTED

I should have posted this last week, which is the date I have scheduled and am posting, however, it actually is the 4th of July weekend ... so now if I totally have confused you, the time or date is not as important, as the mere fact that God truly is connecting with me as I kinda end the wonderful AG study "Entrusted with Treasure ..." Week 7, which ends with a form of my 2020 One Word PROMISE ... it was actually "Promised" and ending on this word for this journey confirms to me that I am exactly where God desires me to be and clearly more aware every single day of all the Promise(s) that God has made and keeps! I deeply value each Promise and find more and more how meaningful each Promise from God is ... in His Word. I'm learning not only to discover His many Promises in His Word but also to declare these Promises over me, my life, and those I know in prayer as I am also learning how to pray His Promises.
Yet the reason I mentioned the date when I started this was because as I was completing the last 5 days of PROMISED in "Entrusted..." the First 5 (app) website, after finishing their 2nd week in the reading and study of Galatians; the Weekend Teaching (from Lyli Dunbar) was perfect to end my other "Entrusted ..." study that I was doing (unknown to First 5, but not to God) AND SO ... I really wanted to share it last weekend when First 5 had it (because it's an audio teaching) and Lyli chose to title and teach on "4 Ways the Entrusted Live Empowered" ... WOW!!! AND ... Love God Greatly (LGG) just began a study in the book of Acts called "Empowered"! Talk about God directing my path (steps)(studies) ... I did not go out searching for these, this is just how our Almighty God aligns things in our lives, if we are alert and pay close attention to hear His Spirit leading and guiding us every step of our way in every day as we connect with Him. I'm sure that there are many women studying with First 5 and with LGG but the chances of these same women being in both and also just finishing an AG study of Daniel called "Entrusted..." are relatively slim but not at all impossible for God to line these up for me. I would even go as far as to say that not even Lyli herself knew how God would use her to meet one little soul (me) in exactly the place I am with the choice of her topic & teaching, landing on Galatians 2:7 and emphasizing the word  "entrusted".  I don't plan on sharing or giving away Lyli's teaching, you'll have to click on the link* or check out First 5 app for the weekend teaching between day 10 and 11;"4 Ways the Entrusted Live Empowered"! I sure hope you are as interested as I am to know how we are "entrusted" to live "empowered"! and I can't wait until the next study starting July 20th with First 5! Another really great, timely study ... 

..."On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel ... just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel ..." (ESV)

Galatians 2:7

"... The Lord promised that those who were faithful would stand firm and take action (Daniel 11:32). ... Promise fills the Book of Daniel - promises for Daniel and for every believer." "God's promises are always "yes and amen"..."May His Promises bring you faith, strength, and comfort for all you are going through and for what lies ahead. ..."(from"Entrusted with Treasure")

May we be found Trustworthy

Jude verse 3 compels to write & urge us  "to contend for the faith that was once for all ENTRUSTED to God's holy people" with great passion Jude 20-24 is written to us

"ENTRUSTED with TREASURE" 7 PROMISED

WEEK 7

PROMISED

"The AG Women’s theme for 2020, for women in the Assemblies of God is “Entrusted with Treasure”. AG Women understand that women have received a charge from God to stand strong and be faithful, humble, courageous under fire & prayerful."

This is the Week
I've been waiting for ...

not because it's the final
Chapters of Daniel
but because it ends
with
PROMISED

Hebrews 10:23

"... Interwoven throughout the messages the Lord sent Daniel are PROMISES, powerful and comforting promises." ....

I actually feel that this is true for my life and most likely yours.

DANIEL 11:32 and DANIEL 12:1

"Promises fill the Book of Daniel -
Promises for Daniel
and for every believer."

Day 1 God Walks with Us Day 2 God Keeps His Promises Day 3 God's Light Overcomes the Darkness Day 4 God Finds Us Trustworthy Day 5 Promised

*** Somehow I must include the prayer given
 at the end of day 4 in its entirety

Lord God Almighty, Make me more like Jesus. Call me out of complacency and the muddy waters of a weak understanding of Your Word. Bring me into greater faithfulness every day and in every way. As I face temptation and the threat of an enemy who seems to wear me down and knock me out of service, make me courageous because greater are You in me than anything the enemy can ever muster against me. Teach me to live and lead others through humility, Lord, never walking in pride or presumption. Make me steadfast, consistently living according to Your Word, unwaveringly true to Your call. As You pour vision into my heart, keep me prayerful so I will never wander off Your path or take a detour because of pride or deception.  Lord, I thank You for Your promises to lead and watch over me and ultimately to reward me as I seek You with all my heart. Make me a trustworthy, faithful follower of You, that others may see and know You as Lord and Savior. In the priceless and powerful name of Jesus, my Savior. Amen.

"ENTRUSTED with TREASURE" 5 & 6

WEEK 5 and WEEK 6

"The AG Women’s theme for 2020, for women in the Assemblies of God is “Entrusted with Treasure”. AG Women understand that women have received a charge from God to stand strong and be faithful, humble, courageous under fire & prayerful."

 Last Week 4 was STEADFAST

This
Week 5
VISIONARY

Acts 2:17 (CSB)

"We all need vision."

"... We need vision to drive what we need to do daily to stay moving in the right direction. We need vision to see beyond the setbacks and disappointments we will undoubtedly face in life. We need vision to believe God when He promises something to us, and there are no signs around us to fortify His promise in our hearts. We need vision for the work He's given us to do."

DANIEL 7:1-8; 9-10; 11-14; 15-22;
DANIEL 8:1-14; 15-27

Day 1 God Gives Daniel Dreams and Visions Day 2 God Gives Us Vision Day 3 God Speaks to Us Day 4 God Assures Us of Victory Day 5 Visionary

"... To cultivate a Visionary heart, We need to seek the One who is the author of biblical visions and eternal promises." ...
***
WEEK 6 PRAYERFUL
James 5:16
The time in which we live most definitely calls us all to be PRAYERFUL more than ever for our homes, to our communities, to our nation and world
Daniel, and other biblical people indeed are examples for us to be PRAYERFUL in times of turmoil, trials and even temptation

Day 1 Daniel Prays Daily Day 2 Daniel Cries Out to God Day 3 God Treasures Danielp Day 4 Daniel Prays as a Warriorl Day 5 Prayerful

DANIEL 9 and 10

"Prayerfulness is one of the most needed and beneficial character qualities that Daniel exemplifies for us. In the good times and in the bad, he faithfully and consistently prayed, thanking God and asking Him to come on the scene and move on behalf of His people. Prayer connects us to God."...

The best way to end this blog post clearly should be with a prayer. I have been praying alot these past few weeks, more than my morning and evening times, especially in June with 21 days of prayer from Watermark Church. And yet words for a concluding prayer right now seem to escape me because there is so much in my heart so I need to pause, reflect and allow the Holy Spirit to pray through our many needs & groaning as only He can... perhaps I will return with one that truly encompasses being visionary and prayerful. Praying God's promises and seeking God's will & words.

"ENTRUSTED with TREASURE" 4

WEEK 4

STEADFAST

"The AG Women’s theme for 2020, for women in the Assemblies of God is “Entrusted with Treasure”. AG Women understand that women have received a charge from God to stand strong and be faithful,humble, courageous under fire & prayerful."

 Last Week 3 HUMBLE

(and all the previous)

This Week 4:

STEADFAST

1 Corinthians 15:58

DANIEL 6:1-5; 6-10; 11-18; 19-28;

Day 1 God Makes a Way Day 2 God Helps us Prepare Day 3 God Develops our Character Day 4 God Rescues Us Day 5 Steadfast

  

"A steadfast person is one who has made choice after choice to just ... keep ... doing ... the ... right things. Over and over do what is right. Do what feeds the right things in your life. Do what the Word of God tells you to do. Do what strengthens your relationship with Jesus. And then, do it again, no matter the opposition you experience." day 5

 
"Steadfast, at the root of the word, (we see 'stead' ,or 'stede' "place" + fast "firmly fixed") meaning to be loyal.  Committed. Devoted.Solid. Constant"Hannah Brencher, "How to be steadfast"{I added the part in parentheses}
For me, before I get into this week's study of Daniel, and being steadfast, I'd like to give thanks to God  because in my humble opinion, Jesus is the Rockand the best example of being steadyor being steadfastis inJesus
Daniel knew God as a rock and the Rock(2 Samuel 22:2-3)(Deuteronomy 32:3-4)(Psalms 24:8; 65:6)(Psalms 18:31)(Daniel 2:44-45)
God/ Jesusis theRock of our Salvation
and
that's a pretty solid foundation
Trustingin thePromises of Godproduces confidence inGod's power, protection, & provision
Our lives are anchored to aSolid, Unshakeablefoundation inJesus ChristOur RockThe Rock of all ages
Our salvation, likewise, cannot be taken or shakenbecause it's secure in Jesus Christ, who died once & for all for our sons & rosevictoriously
Now that'sResurrection Power!
