“All Things New”
Welcome to “All Things New.” Happy New Year to you and your family. This is Episode 26 of “Timeless Truths” with me, Dr. Christine Van Horn, as your host.
This is often the time for people to think of New Year’s Resolution to start off the new year in a better way. But I want to challenge you on something else too. Instead of just focusing on yourself, I want to encourage you do spend more time focusing on God.
SHOW NOTES:
1. Spend more time with God
o He can speak to your heart when you abide with Him
o Jesus went to specific places to meet with the Father
o Establish a “secret place”
§ A secret place is the place you set aside to meet with God (room, room area, chair, other specific location)
§ Mike Murdock’s book “Seeds of Wisdom on the Secret Place”
o Read the Word of God more
o Increased praise and worship time will make you stronger (Psalm 16:11; Nehemiah 8:10)
o Sit quietly in God’s presence and listen for Him to talk to you
o Seek clarity in the mission He has for your life
o Ask for His wisdom (James 1:5)
o Seek new revelation from the Holy Spirit (John 16:13)
2. Prayer Life
o Pray for protection over your family (Psalm 91; Isaiah 54:17)
o Pray more heartfelt prayers (James 5:16)
o Fast and pray with an intent of hearing from God (Matthew 6:17-18)
3. Church-life
o Be faithful in attending church with your family (Herbrews 10:25)
o Serve somewhere in your church – Ministry of “Helps” (1 Corinthians 12:28)
o Ensure your children attend Children’s Church & serve there
o Be part of a small group if they have them
o Tithe and offerings (Malachi 3:10)
o Tithe is 10% of gross income; offerings are additional giving beyond [and after] the tithe
4. Actions you can take
o Deepen your relationship with the Lord this year
o Journal the things you feel the Lord has revealed to you
o Join a Bible study group
5. Do something special for the Lord, if you feel He has called you for it:
