Thursday's Check In-Preparing Our Hearts

Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow. (James 1:17 NASB)

Sunday we begin Session One-Dedicate It All To God.  As you move those receipts onto a Transaction Record, you are encouraged to move your heart and your thoughts from the old mindsets and struggles you have held on to that connect you to the patterns, beliefs, and traditions you  now practice or deal with surrounding the area of your finances -- into a new place.  Move the core thoughts you have with scarcity, lack, and poverty alongside the behavior you display when handling  resources, time and talents -- into a new place.  All those "mind-traps" that have sabotaged God's plans for you thus far -- into a new place.  

Yes, a "new place."  A place that requires a heart and mind transformation.   A place in our hearts prepared by the Master for His use - an anointed place where the brokenness will unleash a sweet fragrance to your nostrils about stewardship and leave you wanting to draw closer to Him for a greater purpose in life and in ministry as a good steward. A place Crown Financial Ministries calls the "Oikonomia Principle." 

Allow your mind, your heart, and your spirit surrounding money management to be broken. To be changed - to be healed.   Let this song minister to you and saturate you so completely until you are broken, empty, and ready to receive all that Session One can pour into you so that you can grasp the full meaning, Dedicate It All To God.  Allow yourself to be humbled to learn from a new place--be broken.   Let your spirit receive the message in the song and post a comment if today's Thursday's Check In has encouraged you.
