The more we pray, the more prophetic we will become, the less we pray, the more pathetic we will become<\/strong>.\u00a0 Batterism<\/p>\n

Buzz Williams, basketball coach for Marquette, gets it!\u00a0 He is coaching the way Jesus would coach if Jesus was a basketball coach.\u00a0 He’s not just interested in how his kids perform on the court, he invests in their eternity.<\/p>\n

I’m writing the book, or rather stumbing along in an unchartered wilderness, on being a real estate broker and property management company owner the way Jesus would if he were a broker.\u00a0 It’s not easy and I don’t feel up to the task almost every morning.\u00a0 But I’ve started asking myself every morning when I enter my office, “What can I do today to take one more step into this vision?” and then, “What can I do right now that will start momentum into that step?”<\/p>\n

Prophecy is not so much predicitng the future as it is creating the future!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In our home, we teasingly, but sincerely refer to Tami as the “glass half full”.\u00a0 Doesn’t matter what is going on, she has a God-given ability to find the positive, to find God’s hand working.\u00a0 In fact, I say she’s the glass half full and filling fast!\u00a0 For the past year I have been focusing on being like her.\u00a0 I’m too quick to notice (and comment about) the negative, the lack of responsibility, the fail.\u00a0 There can be 90% great work, and I will point out how we fell short of perfection in the 10%.\u00a0 I used to think that was godly.\u00a0 Doesn’t the bible say, “Be perfect, even as Your Heavenly Father is perfect”?<\/p>\n

But what I didn’t get into my spirit is that Jesus was speaking to our “position” with God not our performance.\u00a0 Our best efforts are “like dirty rags” compared to the Holy One, but He chooses not to see us that way when we are in right relationship with Christ, He only sees what good we are doing.\u00a0 Correction and Discipline come as Conviction in our spirit that wells up desire to please our God.<\/p>\n

Celebrate what you want to see more of.\u00a0 Don’t worry so much about what falls short.\u00a0 We all respond to encouragement, praise, and admonition… even a puppy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
