Or for those who just happened to land here, it wasn’t by happenstance, rather there is one reason or another that you are here. Have you ever heard of this FM radio station: WIIFM, What’s In It For Me? Isn’t that how we approach most blogs, by asking that question? Then it is up to the writer to pique your interest, to pull you in and wanting more. Well, no manipulations or ploys here and I wanted to let you know from the start that I don’t have any hidden agendas. I just truly want the best for YOU and this 5 volume six book series is proof to that. If you haven’t read it yet, God has given and provided His best to me and I want to share that treasure with you and everybody I possibly can. And no I am not a fanatic either, so don’t switch this off yet and give me a chance to explain. By worldly standards I was moderately successful through my twenties and worked hard to grow in success through to my late thirties and I did this as an unbeliever without much of a notion of God. I went from a warehouse worker to CEO during that time frame and then one bad event after another occurred and my life, family and business came crashing down around me and for no apparent reasons, but the Lord pulled me out of a pretty much self-inflicted and vicious death spiral. I can’t go into depth here for two reasons, this is an introduction and the book, the blog, my intentions are not about me and my story, rather they are all about YOU. To put it lightly I’ve had quite the journey and know beyond a shadow of doubt that you can benefit from the wisdom, knowledge and understanding that I have to share regarding God and living a truly abundant life. Again, I hope that I do not lose you here, I had a miraculous 1 time conversation with God and he gave me the directive to write this book. He gave me the title and an idea of the content, also that His Holy Spirit would lead, guide and direct my paths, over two decades of an incredible journey. Amazingly I only questioned it for about a week and never really doubted it. The problem I encountered was that I had no experience with this “religion thing,” and once I started taking deep dives into it, I encountered an overwhelming amount of “traditions of men,” false teachings, and so on, which the Holy Spirit brought to my attention. I quickly began to realize that anybody who earnestly desired to pursue the Lord was encountering these same issues and I realized this was one of the things that God wanted me to overcome and in turn, reveal the truth in this book series. Now after a 20yr. journey, I’m prepared to communicate it to everyone I can…
That 1st step is choosing to open your heart to Jesus; since God gave you the freedom to choose, then you must give Him permission to enter into your life…commonly known as the “Sinners Prayer” you would pray in this way:
“Jesus please come into my heart; I know that I’m a sinner and I repent of my sins (meaning I will change my ways); I want to have a relationship with you and have you be the Lord of my life.”
If you prayed that prayer with a sincere yearning to have Jesus enter your heart and be the Lord of your life, then you are saved. But it is only the first baby step that you will take to having life and having it abundantly. Your next step should be to get access to a Bible, in conjunction with reading “A Father’s Wisdom,” and research a church that teaches the Bible (and not their own doctrine) and that you feel comfortable with. Believe me, this is the optimum way to start and get you on the right path to an abundant, blessed, fulfilling and purpose filled life!
Being saved is a one-time thing, and you cannot be unsaved. You can although fall out of favor and out of fellowship with God and lose out on His blessing, power, authority, glory, etc., and most importantly lose entry into heaven, but fear not this book series communicates how this can happen and how to avoid it. Know that He will never forsake you, which means if you do get off track, then have a change of heart, He will be waiting to welcome you back.
HOPE is a gift from God. It is NOT that we know that God can do this or that, and we are “hoping” that He will, but our Hope is in Him that He has done so consistently in the Bible, therefore He will also do so with us; and note that this is one of His many promises to us; and He fulfills all His promises. He gives the gift of hope, not because He has so very much to offer which would give us hope after we had figured that out, but He gives us hope and then we have the choice to utilize it (act on it) or not. HOPE is what we have “in” God and what He has promised us; it is a divine promise that we can and should stake our lives on. Hope also has to do with our outlook on life in terms of how we perceive life. With having received the gift of hope and us having cultivated it with trust, faith, love and confidence should result in a positive outlook on life rather than a negative one; this is a Key to having an abundant and fulfilling life. (Isaiah 40:28-31) “He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak. Even the youths may faint and grow weary, and young men stumble and fall. But those who wait (Hebrew: expect/hope) upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.” (Jer. 29:11) “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.”
FAITH too is a gift from God. This gift is often misunderstood because a) people don’t know that faith has been given to us by Jesus, therefore b) they are confused about it because they are “working” at figuring it out and trying to develop their faith and trust and then trying to increase their faith. FAITH is an already confirmed (by God) trust that we have, in what God has promised us; even though we have no physical proofs, and yet we choose to believe in Him (true faith occurs when we incorporate a wholehearted belief). We have to trust that God (is what He said He is and does what He says He will do) has confirmed/substantiated/validated His power and authority throughout the kingdom and the world, and that we can trust in His guaranteed Word (Bible) even without any physical proof. (Heb. 11:1) “Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.” First understand the basis of faith, then in order to live abundantly one of the key factors is Positive Future Faith? (see posting)
LOVE too is a gift from God. (1 John 4:7-12) In John’s passages concerning love, he points this out, “NOT that we have loved Him, but that He loved us,” in other words, we don’t have to love Him but He will always love us no matter what (unconditionally)! You can know “of” His love, but to receive it and its power and glory you have to be in relationship with Him (e.g. “to know God is to love God”). Most people have the misconception what love is because they somehow learned it over time; or they’ve learned how to express it or imitate it; or that by thinking that they understand the nuances of romantic love is all they need to know about the topic. God is love and all love is of God! As mentioned, we receive love from Jesus/God and that is the love we are to give. We learn from Jesus what unconditional love is and in turn how to love unconditionally. I’ll repeat myself, God is love and all love is of God, meaning that we must first be in and develop a relationship with Him and then and only then do we learn and understand what love is and how to give love to others. Love…one of the most important gifts we receive from God and one of the most important that we give during our journey. (John 3:16) “God so loved the world that he gave…” Also regarding Love, the Apostle Paul wrote (1 Cor. 13:13) “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.” The fact is that Love so closely interrelates with Hope as a foundational precept of God’s, that it becomes difficult to rate them as Paul did, and then Faith plays an integral role as well that it should not be understated. All these are covered in depth in the book and are essential to the generational transformation blueprint.
In reading these books from cover to cover, you will see the relationships between God’s gifts of hope, faith and love: and how it allows us to experience joy in our lives; also allows us to experience abundant living; that He is always there for us with the promise that He will never forsake us, thus giving us security and comfort; when our lives do a 180 degree turn and it no longer resembles what we had dreamed it would be, we have hope and assurance (faith) in Him to help figure it all out; that He relates to our struggles and storms in life and is “an ever present help in time of trouble.” That’s just one example of why we must have an ongoing intimate relationship with our Lord!
Jesus is not only the way to achieve an abundant life, but is also the way to my proposed solution regarding social injustice as we’ve experienced, along with numerous other social ills (discussed in Volume 1 and is expounded in Volume 3).
The culmination of Volumes I – V result in the blueprint, and relay the foundation by a connecting of the dots between God and todays Generations in successfully navigating and correcting the problems we are facing in these times, and this applies to future Generations as well. God’s promises are a solid rock foundation that we must stand on. He fulfills all of His promises. Anything that is built upon and expected to have strength and endure while continuously advancing, requires a solid foundation. We must first know what all the promises are, then we must learn what the promises entail and are comprised of, then we must trust in God and His promises and place them in our heart, then live our abundant lives by standing firmly and acting upon those promises of God! Jesus Christ who is the same, yesterday, today and forever (Heb. 13:8); His message of Hope, Faith and Love is the same for all generations and is the solid foundation for all generations to stand upon in their pursuit of reformation, revival and ultimate transformation in this society today. The role we must fulfill in this is to be truly spirit Dominant! Also, to understand and execute the Power of a unified collective of Believers! Having the power to move mountains! And this all begins with You and you and you and you… All of the above topics are covered in the books and explained in detail.
This book series was 20yrs in the making and now fits amazingly into God’s perfect timing, (Esther 4:13) For if you remain silent at this time…Who knows, you may have come to the kingdom for such a time as this.
A blueprint is one of the overarching views of the book series: I am blessed to have so many people interested in expanding their wisdom, knowledge, and understandings of God’s kingdom and His logos Word in order to navigate this robust and unpredictable world in which we live; And do so with every intention to…
