Re-Align Your Life with God's Kairos Appointed Time

Tishri 1^st and 2^nd, 5777 is the Jewish New Year known as Rosh haShana which is the Divinely Ordained holy day established by God.  This date translates on the Gregorian Calender (i.e. Western culture calendar), into October 3^rd & 4^th 2016 which-for some-just may be an ordinary day, but a huge day for God’s Chosen Jewish nation whom He has not rejected (Romans 11.1).  Gentile Christians who desire to honor God’s calendar above the Gregorian scheduled calendar will observe this day as God’s New Year as opposed to the secular New Year of January 1^st.  In other words, January 1^st will not mean anything remotely sacred to God as Rosh haShana.

      

     Chronos and Kairos time are Greek words that are used in the N.T. for time and they have different interpretations and understandings.  Chronos time has everything to do with the chronology of days, seasons, and years that were first established on the fourth day of creation (Gen. 1.14-19).  Kairos time correlates with God-Ordained times throughout history, right time, and appointed season/time.  When John the Baptist preached, he saw Jesus and John exclaimed, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand.  Repent, and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1.15).  John knew that when he saw Jesus, prophetic history was being fulfilled; therefore identifying God sending His Son at a Divinely Appointed time (kairos). 

Satan knows his time of deception and wrath is short (Rev.12.12), and Satan’s demons know as well.  When the demon-possessed men that lived in the cemetery of Gergesenes saw Jesus, they cried out to Jesus saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God?  Have you come here to torment us before the time?” (Matt.8.29)  Even the demons knew that their time possessing these men had been brought to a halt when Jesus stepped foot onto the Gergesenes region. 

During a time when Jesus was teaching, Jesus’ rebuked the multitudes that gathered around Him because they could discern and predict the weather based on the appearances of the sky and earth, but they lacked such a connection with God that they could not “discern the time.” (Luke 12.58) 

During this time in the span of history, God desires a nation of believers in Christ that understand where we are in God’s kairos time that can declare what His bride should be doing during this chronos time.  We must spend our days (chronos) in God’s (kairos) perpetuated time.  In other words, believers in Christ should know we are the bride of Christ who is preparing for the glorious feast with the Bridegroom; and there are specific concerns that Christ has that we should be our concern as well.

        As the body of Christ experiences these evil and ungodly days, a question God’s holy prophets should be challenging the body with is: “What is the bride doing?”  What does Christ Jesus teach His followers to do in the last days that we are experiencing?  Jesus gives two points of direction: “watch and pray!”  (Luke 21.36)  Jesus desires that we be alert, sober-minded so that we will have self-control, and to be prayerful.  Jesus taught us that no one knows the day and the hour when He is returning for the bride, but only the Father knows.  Jesus says,

                “But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the

                 thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be

                 broken into.  Therefore, you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming

                 at an hour you do not expect” (Matthew 25.43,44)

It will be during God’s appointed time that He releases Messiah to return for His bride, and we do not know the day or the hour of Messiah’s return.  On October 3^rd, 2016, i.e. 1 Tishri 5777, a greater spiritual shift about running after God will become more eminent in the hearts of God’s people that are in tune with what God is doing in the heavens and on earth.  This spiritual shift -for some- has already happened weeks and months past. 

            

           You do not have to wait to change your behavior, daily activities, and habits; you can start now.  Today is a Divine Day!  Today is the Day of the Lord!  For God says, ”At just the right time, I heard you.  On the day of salvation, I helped you.  Indeed, the “right time” is now.  Today is the day of salvation.”  This is the day that the Lord has made!  If you are alert, sober-minded, and watchful, you will see God moving in the earth within the next few minutes and even hours.  You will experience God moving in the earth tomorrow.  You will experience favor that can only come from the Most High God, Jesus Christ!  Dreams and visions will capture your heart and you will realize that God is speaking to you through these dreams and visions. 

     

          “Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness,” but partner and co-labor with God be delivered from the old mindset.  Get into the new flow of God’s appointed time. His expectancy for us is great!  Get into the flow of the Spirit of the Living God and experience what God has ordained for you in during these kairos moments that are awaiting you. 

          

             I pray that you will be filled with the knowledge of His will for this season and I pray that you will tap into the power of the Holy Spirit to wreak havoc against the enemy’s camp for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.  I pray you grow in greater knowledge of the width, depth, height, and length of Christ’s immeasurable love.  May God be with you!

Habits

I am reading a book, that is new to me, entitled, “the Power of Habit,” by Charles Duhigg and I highly recommend you read this book.  Without going into great detail about the book, the first chapter discusses the longevity a person whom has experienced severe brain damage and suffers to memory loss can, in many ways, enjoy life and be conscious of this enjoyment by creating intentional habits.  Charles Duhigg also suggests that “cues and rewards” trigger habits which can be a good or bad thing depending on what results those habits breed due to “cues and rewards.” 

The title of the book caught my attention because I know that every “great person” or individuals who are influential are influential because of their daily habits.  So I immediately thought about Jesus Christ when I saw the title “the Power of Habit” because Jesus had habits that shaped, defined, and affirmed His mission and character.  Not only did Jesus’ habits affirm His mission and character, but His habits affirmed His identity.  I also thought about an article I read about Mark Parker, the CEO & President of Nike.  Mark Parker meditates and exercises early every morning before making Nike greater and greater every day.

You may have once heard the saying, “we are what we think” and I believe that brain power can manipulate this dynamic.  Our brains are so powerful and so sharp that if we envision what we want to be, I believe we can ultimately become “that person.”  Although I believe this, I do not subscribe to this because as a follower of Jesus Christ, I was created and I am to live in the image, the manner, and ways of Jesus Christ.  So we do not project what we want to be, Christ has already created us to “be” what He has called us to “be.”  Now you must discover/rediscover and connect with who/what God has ordained you to be; and it will save you a lot of “projection work.” 

But on a serious note, your habits will shape who you are becoming in Christ Jesus.  What are the first 3 things you do when you wake up from the night’s rest? 

Jesus prayed every morning and randomly ditched His followers and disciples to pray.  Prayer was Jesus’ habit. In Acts 17.2, the Bible says that the apostle Paul, “as was his custom” went to the synagogue to discuss the Scriptures.  Everyone in Thessalonica who knew the apostle Paul were confident where to find the apostle Paul on the Sabbath.  The Apostle Paul frequented the synagogue.  Teaching in the synagogue was Paul’s habit.

I am writing this blog as a Christian Life Coach to let you know that your daily habits can make or break your success.  It can open or close doors of opportunity for you.  I believe the reason why Peter understood the revelation of Jesus Christ earlier and more confidently than others was because he knew God the Father and connected the nature and character of God with Jesus Christ.  Peter knew Jesus was God because of Jesus’ reliance on His Father.  When Jesus asked the disciples, “who do people say I am” one of the reasons Peter knew who Jesus was is because Jesus’ habits.  Jesus forgave, healed, loved, and had power and authority over everything on earth and no other man on earth and/or demon in hell ruled with that level of power.  Peter knew Jesus was the Savior of the world because Jesus’ habits. 

The reason why Jesus was able to give salvation is because of Jesus’ habit to be obedient and Jesus’ habit to suffer.  What made Jesus great was that He did not allow Satan to confiscate His identity when He was fasting and praying in the wilderness. 

What are your habits?  Are they habits that will catapult you into doing great things for the world, your family, your job, and/or your personal life? 

Re-establish your daily life with habits that will catapult you into greatness.  During my habitual lifestyle of prayer, the Holy Spirit shared this statement with me and I end this blog with this statement:  “Jesus did something great, and He called us to doing even greater things because He would go on to be with the Greatest!”  Start your day with the Greatest!
