Ephesians 6:14

Redeem the time.  Redeem the time.  Redeem the time.

There are mountains in your personal life.  Whomever or whatever controls those mountains affects every area of your life and its direction.

We often walk through life believe our ideal priorities are actually our priorities.   We often walk through life looking at an ideal road when in actuality we find ourselves upon a very different course.  Often it may feels like we’re not the one driving.

The way you pay time to your priorities reveals the order they’re in.  Examine the order of your heart. 

The mountain of time has been stolen blindly from the church, and when I say that, sometimes it is the establishment of the church itself that pulls us away from God.

If you are a christian.  Your time is not yours.  Its the Lords.  Trust him with this.  He is a better manager than you or I will ever be. 

A lack of time is the number one excuse for not approaching your throne and yet you keep giving it to us God.  Lord Help us wake up!  You’ve put us here for us, you and me.  Not the world and me.  The more I get on your page the more my life will match yours.

The body very openly often speaks to the responsibility of how we spend the resource of our money but we rarely wave a banner of time stolen by things from the Lord.

Trust the Lord that when you speak to him, he hears.  That you approaching his throne and him moving is 10x more effective than the unannointed labor of your flesh. 

God tells us for a reason that apart from him we can do nothing.  It’s true.  Not by might, not by power, but by my spirit says the Lord.

The enemy will get us to trust that our identity is found in anything else other than the words of the Father.  He will use whatever we will listen to.  Our identity is often fictiously formed by the labor of our hands.  This is a sandy foundation and I pray its shaken in your life.

Our identity is in the father’s love.  What are you really laboring for?  Who are you really laboring for?  All he wants is you and I pray that accompanying you is the revelation that you have nothing to give. 

God LET US BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO BE STILL AND KNOW YOU ARE GOD.

Father take back what is rightful yours.  God I pray that, like a vile, our time would be yours first, our spouses’ second, and our families third.  Not the illusion’s of the activities into which we thrust ourselves; isolated while together.

God restore in your church the preciousness of raw fellowship and communication and relationship with the people you’ve placed in our lives.  I pray that everything that we bow our knees to in regards to time that does not bear fruit for your kingdom would be asphyxiated from our lives in Jesus name.

Jesus, teach me what is means to redeem the time.
