Psalms of Discipleship. Principle #28 (Evangelism). July 28, 2012

Hello my dear friends! Do you realize that our lives are a platform for God's glory and the medium He uses for sharing the Gospel, the Good News of His love for the world? Do you realize that it is not about us, but about Him? Do you realize that His blessing to us is just not about making us feel good about ourselves, but a way He uses to cause a hunger and thirst in the lives of those who have yet to experience His love and forgiveness?

In this week's Psalms of Discipleship we learn that His blessings upon us is simply advertising of His love and goodness to the world.

Blessed for the sake of others,

Denny Bates


Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #28

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 1 God be gracious to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us— Selah. 2 That Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations. 3 Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. 4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy; For You will judge the peoples with uprightness And guide the nations on the earth. Selah. Psalm 67:1-4

Core Value: Evangelism

There is a phrase we use in my part of the world that says, “The proof is in the pudding.” In other words, the quality of something is uncertain until it has been tested directly. In this case, actions speak louder than words. How do we know that God is gracious to us and blesses us? We know it to be true because it is something that we have personally experienced. And when disciples of Jesus live like God is gracious to them and blesses them, it becomes the platform God uses to draw those who are outside the family of God into a relationship with His Son.

Principle #28 & Personal Application: Quality disciples know that one who is blessed by the Lord becomes a visual example of God’s glory and goodness to the lost.

We are blessed by the Lord . . .

• in abundance: God be gracious to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us— Selah.

• for a reason greater than ourselves: That Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations.

• for the praise and glory of Jesus: Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You.

• so we, along with the nations, may follow Him with gladness and joy: Let the nations be glad and sing for joy; For You will judge the peoples with uprightness And guide the nations on the earth. Selah.

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

To those who know me, and do not know Jesus, find my life (what I say and what I do) to be an inviting example for them to seek Jesus more closely?

What has to happen in my life in order for my testimony to inspire others to trust in and praise the Lord?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, I worship You for being gracious to me and blessing me. Your face does shine upon me, moving me to declare Your salvation to those who have yet to hear of the Good News. May I always praise You, along with all believers from every nation, with gladness and joy.

Two Essential Quotes

Leadership is a stewardship. It is temporary…and you’re accountable. ~ Andy Stanley

What happens when God has made you the most powerful person in the room? What are you going to with this power? How you respond determines who you will be. This helps establish who you are. ~ Andy Stanley (See John 13)

These two quotes have made quite the impression on me. Those who have tasted from the nectar of leadership have been given the privilege of having “power” over others. It might be as simple as a parent having power over a child or a CEO having the power to hire and fire, to bless or to curse any employees who are at their mercy. Power is a gift, not a right, and certainly never an entitlement. The true test of the Christian believer is how he or she stewards their power.

This focused study of the life of Joseph, The Powerbroker’s Guide To The Kingdom, provides practical life lessons on how power can be used is the right way . . . and in the wrong way too. Of all the important lessons we learn, may we get this one right. Not just for our sake, but especially for the sake of those who can either be helped or hurt by our power.

Psalms of Discipleship. Principle #27 (Prayer). July 21, 2012

Hello my dear friends! We live in a very CONNECTED world. Email, text, twitter, facebook, tv, radio, cell phones and the list goes on. We have been trained to stay connected. If we lose connection we may feel somewhat lost on what in the world is going on around us. This is especially true when it comes to prayer. Today's Psalms of Discipleship is a vivid contrast between just talking and connecting. May we all learn the discipline of connecting to the Lord in prayer.

Connected to Him,

Denny


Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #27

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 17 I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue. 18 If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear; 19 But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me. Psalm 66:17-20

Core Value: Prayer

There is a great difference between talking and connecting. People may talk a lot but never be heard. There are some who think the best way to communicate is to use a lot of words linked with an intensity of volume (i.e., yelling). Others think the best way to communicate is to speak using fancy words that only are understood by the speaker.

The Psalmist understood the key to connecting with the Lord in prayer was the condition of his heart. A wicked heart (a heart that has been poisoned by sin) cuts off all communication. On the other hand, a heart that is right with God makes the connection between creation and the Creator.

Is there anything standing in your way from connecting with the Lord?

Principle #27 & Personal Application: Quality disciples offer prayer upon the basis of grace that cleanses the heart and the tongue.

• Prayer offered under the basis of grace is a vocal expression of worship and praise: I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue

• Prayer is quenched when there is sin in our heart: If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear

• Prayer is liberating when we know that God hears our prayers: But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer

• Prayer, undergirded by His grace, made possible by the completed work of His Son, is the means given that we may be received with open arms and come into His presence: Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

Is there anything in my heart that is quenching my communication with the Lord?

How can a better understanding of grace empower my prayer life?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for providing a perfect way for me to communicate with You. May my heart learn how to keep short accounts with You, freely accepting Your offer to forgive me and cleanse me of my sin. May I learn to turn to You, knowing that it is Your desire to hear my prayers. Thank You for not turning away from me or withholding Your lovingkindness from me.

Psalms of Discipleship. Principle #26 (Evangelism). July 14, 2012

Hello my dear friends, have you ever considered your life to be a trophy of God's grace? If you are a disciple of Jesus, think about it: He has created you, loved you, and saved you all for His glory. And He has given you the greatest platform of all: to be a witness to others who so desperately need to know that there is a loving God who loves them too. If you don't let them know, then who will?

I love to tell the story,

Denny


Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #26

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul. Psalm 66:16

Core Value: Evangelism

What if you had been entrusted with an idea that would change the world, but kept it to yourself? What if you had discovered the secret to overcoming cancer but failed to communicate it to those who are sick? What if you had the kind of news that would grant others incredible peace of mind, but chose to let them find out for themselves? What if you have experienced God’s amazing and saving grace, but did not think it was important enough to share it with those who need to hear about a personal God who does very personal things in the lives of His children? What if.

Your life is to be an example of how great God really is and you have been granted the wonderful opportunity to brag on Him. This is the testimony of the Psalmist: “Come one, come all. Let me tell you all that He has done for me. And if He did it for me, He will do it for you too!”

Principle #26 & Personal Application: Quality disciples willingly give a passionate, personal testimony of God at work.

Because of what Jesus has done for us . . .

• We want others to know what we know: Come and hear

• We want others to know how great, mighty and awesome our God is: all who fear God

• We want others to know of what God has done for us: And I will tell of what He has done for my soul

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

What is my testimony? What have I seen God do in my life where I can “brag” on Him to those who are searching for His love and forgiveness?

Who in my circle of influence needs to hear my story of redemption? Who are my lost friends and family that I need to add to my prayer list?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for giving me a story of grace. Thank You for reaching out to me so that I may reach out to others and share Your love with them. May I always invite the lost to “come and hear” what You have done in my life.

Psalms of Discipleship (Worship) Principle #25, July 7, 2012

Hello my dear friends! If you are like me, the days of summer tend to wear me down if I spend too much time outside in this record heat. Many of us today are facing heated days that are way beyond our comfort zone. The more uncomfortable we become, the less focused we become. Life is like that for the disciple of Jesus, isn't it? It does not take much for us to lose our focus when our circumstances change. Some of us take our eyes off of Jesus and onto ourselves and our circumstances. And in effect, we misplace our worship of Him.

Today's Psalms of Discipleship is a wonderful admonition to set our hearts on our great Savior and worship Him!

Learning with you,

Denny


Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #25

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 1 Shout joyfully to God, all the earth; 2 Sing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious. 3 Say to God, "How awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will give feigned obedience to You. 4 "All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name." Selah. Psalm 66:1-4

Core Value: Worship

It has been said that a rut is a grave with both ends kicked out. For some disciples of Jesus, our worship has become a rut. Our memories of what was once a dynamic love relationship with Jesus has slipped away into a lukewarm existence. Yes, we love Him, but the feelings have long gone away.

What has happened? Perhaps we have lost our “first love” and have replaced it with a religious “duty” where we only go through the motions. What is the answer to returning to a worship of God that has deep meaning? We must fix our eyes upon Jesus. And when we do, we will leave behind the rut of ho-hum and take a step of faith towards a passionate, joyous relationship with Him.

I am reminded of this great gospel song that perfectly describes the process:

[If you] Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
Look full in His wonderful face.
And [then] the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Principle #25 & Personal Application: Quality disciples have a heart full of joyous praise and worship for an awesome and glorious God.

• Our worship is to be exuberant: “Shout joyfully to God, all the earth; Sing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious” (vs. 1-2)

• Our worship is to be focused upon God’s awesome works and great power: “Say to God, "How awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will give feigned obedience to You.” (vs. 3)

• Our worship is to be joined in chorus with the whole world: “All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name” (vs. 4)

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

How does the command “shout joyfully to God” impact the way I worship the Lord? What does it mean to make His praise glorious?

As I reflect upon this passage of Scripture, what kinds of things come to my mind when I consider His awesome works in my life?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, by faith fill my heart with worship for You. I shout joyfully to You. I sing the glory of Your name. By grace, I make Your praise glorious. In thanksgiving, I focus my heart upon Your awesome works and great power. In obedience, I join my voice with every other believer on the earth and sing praises to Your name.

Psalms of Discipleship. Principle #24 (Worship). June 30, 2012

Hello dear friends! Warm, very warm, no, really it's HOT greetings from sunny South Carolina! This week's devotion reminds us of what happens when we choose to focus upon the character of God: we are reminded of His goodness and His greatness. As we live in uncertain times, its good to know that His goodness and greatness remains the same.

Worship Him!

Denny


Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #24

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 4 How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You To dwell in Your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple. 5 By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea; 6 Who establishes the mountains by His strength, Being girded with might; 7 Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples. 8 They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. Psalm 65:4-8

Core Value: Worship

Do you remember praying this simple prayer as a child? “God is good. God is great. Let us thank Him for our food. Amen.” For me, as I folded my little hands and closed my eyes, it was a memorized prayer that became a routine part of my every meal. After awhile the words I was praying lost their impact upon me. This sweet prayer became a religious duty instead of a heartfelt prayer of gratitude and thanksgiving. This familiar example is one of many I share on how easy it is for the believer to lose the magnitude of what we are saying out loud. In this case, GOD IS GOOD. GOD IS GREAT. WE SHOULD THANK HIM FOR EVERYTHING HE PROVIDES to us.

This is what the Psalmist does in this portion of Scripture. As He describes the goodness and greatness of God, he becomes overwhelmed with waves of worship. The more He talks about the goodness and greatness of God, the more his heart fills up and the more he has share about the goodness and greatness of God. This is what happens when we set our focus upon the character of God: we become personally acquainted with His goodness and greatness, filling our hearts with expressions of worship.

Principle #24 & Personal Application: Quality disciples are blessed as they worship a great, awesome, and mighty God.

• We worship God because of His drawing us, by grace, into His presence.

• We worship God because of His awesome deeds.

• We worship God because of His majestic power and glory.

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

When I begin to set my focus upon the Lord and His power, what kinds of thoughts come to my mind?

What kind of things can I do that will help me worship God for who He is?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You are a mighty and glorious Savior. You invite me into Your presence. You satisfy my soul. You are the God of all creation and I am in awe of You. And powerful and mighty You are, You love me; You value me; You call me Your very own.

Psalms of Discipleship. Principle #23 (Prayer) June 23, 2012

Hello my dear friends! It's great to connect with you again. This week's Psalms of Discipleship points us to one of the great truths of the Bible: Prayer is the tool provided for us to connect with the only One who can help us.

Praying for you. Thanks for praying for me.

Denny


Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #23

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; Preserve my life from dread of the enemy. 2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of those who do iniquity, 3 Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrow, Psalm 64:1-3

Core Value: Prayer

Most everyone I know has a cell phone. You see people walking, talking, listening, texting, and viewing their screens almost all the time. Cell phone users are a unique tribe of people: blue tooth, long in the tooth, the cell phone phenomenon has changed our culture when it comes to communication. It seems we are always communicating . . . until the coverage drops or the battery dies and the communication comes to an abrupt end.

Fortunately for the disciple of Jesus, we are on an unlimited data plan that has been fully funded by His sacrifice on the cross. We have been given access to the Father through the Son so that we may communicate to Him the concerns of our heart. When the enemies of our soul surround us, He is only a call away. As an old song stated, “Information. Give me Jesus on the line.” #911

Principle #23 & Personal Application: Quality disciples place their trust in the Lord when words of slander are used against them.

Note that David did not ask the Lord to change His circumstances but asked for God’s help in the midst of them. What did David do? He prayed. He asked the Lord to . . .

• Hear his voice

• Preserve his life

• Hide him from his vicious enemies

When our enemy attacks, he usually does so with vengeance: Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 (NASB95)

When our enemy attacks, we must be aware of his schemes: so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes. 2 Corinthians 2:11 (NASB95)

When our enemy attacks, he will accuse us and want us to forget our place, our position in Christ: Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. Revelation 12:10 (NASB95)

When our enemy attacks, sometimes he will use the words of others to bring harm to us: "Their tongue is a deadly arrow; It speaks deceit; With his mouth one speaks peace to his neighbor, But inwardly he sets an ambush for him. Jeremiah 9:8 (NASB95)

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

When I feel I am under spiritual attack, what does this Psalm teach me to do?

I know what it feels like when hurtful words are used against me. What can I do to control my tongue from hurting others?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, when I am under attack, keep me ever mindful of my need to place my fears and concerns upon You. Keep me alert to pray. Keep me close to You. Keep me safe. Keep me.

Psalms of Discipleship, Principle #22 (Grace) June 9, 2012

Hello my dear friends! Have you ever felt like you were grasping onto the last straw and when it breaks (and it most likely will) you will fall into an abyss of hopelessness and despair? If that resonates with you, you are not alone. Many believers today are facing challenging circumstances with frayed relationships, uncertain financial times, and an unending assault upon the truth. What is a disciple of Jesus to do? We can look to the example of the Psalmist and refocus our mind upon the Good Shepherd of the Psalms.

Clinging to Him,

Denny

Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #22

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 6 When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches, 7 For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy. 8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me. Psalm 63:6-8

Core Value: Grace

One of the greatest challenges that face the disciple of Jesus is the battle that lies in the mind. It is in the mind where spiritual battles are either won or lost. There is always the constant tension to believe the truth and live it out or to embrace the lie and be bound up in it.

The best way, the only way, to win the battle for the mind is to focus it upon the Lord. This does not come easily. It takes a strong will. It requires a choice. But when we do make the choice to focus our thoughts upon the Lord, the truth of His promise becomes crystal clear: We see that He is our help. We will have a song of joy. And we will cling to Him as He holds us up.

Principle #22 & Personal Application: Quality disciples experience the mysterious tension of doing their part as God does His.

• Disciples of Jesus are to keep their focus upon the Lord: “When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches”

• Disciples of Jesus are to remember the faithfulness of God: “For You have been my help”

• Disciples of Jesus are to experience His presence and respond with joy: “And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy”

• Disciples of Jesus do their part and Jesus does His: “My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me”

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

What kinds of spiritual disciplines (habits) I can practice that will cultivate a more focused meditation upon the Lord?

What circumstance am I facing today where I sense my soul is clinging to the Lord? How does this Scripture describe God’s part in helping me cope with my circumstance?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, may You always remind me of Your faithfulness to me. Help me remember those sweet times of when I experienced Your touch. May I always remember that You have been my help, even during the dark times. May I always be comforted by Your presence as I sing for joy to You. And may I remember to do my part (cling to You, by grace) as I behold Your keeping power of Your right hand.
