Leadership Meeting at Shady Oaks Church October 14, 2023

God was at work in the lives of Judah, Joseph and Jacob and their walk with God changed them for the better.  What does that say to us?  As long as we continue walking with God, God, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, seeks to do the same with us.

The new wine is a moving of His Spirit in and among us that requires flexibility to contain it. In order to experience this new expression of what God is wanting to do, we must be willing to let go of what we have been doing, to embrace the new of what He is wanting us to experience in fulfilling our God-given destiny.

To receive the Sustenance in the Word, we must receive the Word. Then we must believe the Word, and finally we must act on the Word. This acting on the Word by faith is what brings the manifestation of the Word into our lives. It is then that we can experience what the Lord shared with us.

As we see God move in the days ahead, we must, in the fear of the Lord, dedicate ourselves to the primacy of the Word of God to guide us in our daily lives, and as well, we must prioritize the privilege and responsibility we have to God in His holiness in how we live, speak and act. Without holiness, as the Scripture says, no one will truly see God. 

We must let go of what we were. We must let go of how we see ourselves. Subsequently, we must embrace His assessment of who we are. And then with God’s help, begin to walk out who He says we are.

In Zelophehad childrens names, from first born to last, we see a message that proclaims an ever-increasing hope in God and the promises of God for their lives and their future.
