Building Your Legacy with Elements

"Building Your Legacy" is a new series of highlighting topics to aid in building your life and legacy as it becometh you. The first segment of Building Your Legacy is to define legacy and elements of a well-crafted legacy. You are writing your legacy every day, that is a fact. But a well-crafted legacy is not automatic, it requires that we are an active participant in the building of our legacy. We all need the proper supplies or elements when we participate in any building process. For a well-crafted legacy lets start with the basic elements that will go into your legacy. So what is a legacy? When we think of a legacy we commonly think of two things. It happens at the time of our natural death and it refers to a time when our finances or personal possessions…

Commend All, into Abba’s Hands! (Part 1)

Commend All, into Abba’s Hands! (Part 1)

Dr. Aikens often starts or ends teaching with a time of responsive reading. This time of everyone reading together helps us to gain personal understanding. I encourage you to read aloud this section of responsive reading. Be encouraged and filled with understanding. Responsive Reading We consider and know we are the called out; being taught to be strong in the Lord; to be strengthened inwardly in the grace of spiritual blessings we find only in Christ Jesus. We also become strengthened by the revelatory instructions we receive from those God has chosen to transmit, deposit into and entrust to us; that we might become in turn His reliable and faithful that He will use to become competent and qualified to teach others also. Consider, to do this we must become able to take on and endure through our share of…

Simplifying Life is Personal and Enjoyable

Simplifying Life is Personal and Enjoyable

Personal Simplification To simplify scares many turns off many, and intrigues many. I went through all three of those feelings from the time I was introduced to the concept of simplicity, about four years ago. My first exposure was with Megan Starbuck and her blog Living Tiny, Dreaming Big. Her writing about tiny living came right about the time I was getting excited about tiny homes (which I hope to have someday). In her blog, she addressed various ways, reasons, and outcomes of embracing simplicity, no matter the size of your home, family, or life. Through reading her blog, she took me from being turned off and scared to intrigued because Megan made it very clear that living a life of simplicity is total, 100% personal. What a relief! So many before Megan, made me feel I had to do…

Exposure to Foundational to Beneficial

Exposure to Foundational to Beneficial

EXPOSURE Exposure is powerful.Exposure is hard to forget.Exposure causes a reaction.Exposure demands a response. Exposure can be the start or foundation of something or the capstone or finishing off of something. Exposure can cause a reaction. Exposure demands a response. The root word to exposure is "expose", which comes from Latin word exponere or expound, and was influenced by the Latin word expositus or to "set out" and the Old French word poser or "to place". It is important to know the history of a word because it gives clarity and understanding. Expose is to reveal, set out, and to place. When we are exposed to something, it is going to cause a reaction and demand a response. The reaction is emotional, the response being foundational of what we do with what we have been exposed to. Twenty years ago…

What’s in God’s Names? (Part Two)

This post is the revelatory teaching notes that Dr. Aikens taught from in the Bootcamp entitled "What's in God's Names? (Part Two) Posted by Rev. Jane Babich after attending the Bootcamp. This is part two of the teaching of "What's in God's Names?" Click here, to read part one. This teaching is to remind us that is is what is in God's names, that will prevail for us, always!  “What is thought to be in a name” has often inspired, encouraged, intimidated, and or in some manner proved influentially significant. In many life situations, the first thing we learn about someone when introductions are made can cause rapid judgments to be formed about the person, though we have little other pertinent information; besides their name! In Part One we covered the first time the name of the Lord was revealed…

Acceptance for the Organized Soul

Acceptance for the Organized Soul

IS THIS ORGANIZED? IS THIS ORGANIZED? OR, IS THIS ORGANIZED The word organized comes from the Latin word "organum" meaning instrument or tool. And the basis of the word tool was originally used for "prepare". This background reveals the true essence of organized. It is the tool or thing we use to prepare to do something. Organized is not about how it looks, it is all about functionality. Don't get me wrong, I love to organize and step back to see everything neat, tidy, and pleasing to the eye, but if I sacrifice functionality, then the tool is broke. Can functionality look amazing? Yes! Functionality can be pleasing to the eye and even more so it is beneficial to being productive and reducing daily stress. Before I understood that the true purpose of being organized, was to improve function, I…

What runs rampant in the world right now; even among those, we think would know better? It is Fear!  Its common acronym is, “False Evidence Appearing Real”!  Still, it appears in scripture 506 times with 33 significations. But, the only signification that should move us; is knowing the blessed have a healthy “son’s” fear of the Lord. It keeps us mindful, grateful, in love, and awe knowing, “What’s in God’s Names, is what truly “Prevails” for us!  “What is thought to be in a name” has often inspired, encouraged, intimidated, and or in some manner proved influentially significant.

Problem Solving is Natural

Problem Solving is Natural

I Don't want to talk about the P-Word "Problem" No one really wants to talk about problems, until they have to, but we need to understand and appreciate our natural ability to solve them. Let's look at what a problem is. Definitions bring clarity. Clarity reveals applicability. Problem Defined A problem is a noun because it is tangible and meant to be owned by someone or a group of people. It is a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome and possibly damaging with a need to be dealt with and overcome or solved. The problem requires action, and if it does not receive the necessary action, it will increase in possible pending doom the longer the action is withheld. Right after reading the definition our mind goes to those nagging problems we have ignored. Maybe a door lock that needs…

“Transformative Mindset vs Residue!”

“Transformative Mindset vs Residue!”

At a time when God’s people were continually being beguiled by “evil present with them”; He sent His prophet and captain, Isaiah; to faithfully speak truth to lighten that darkness. And again, he obediently went and with quiet confidence men hear loudly; “spoke boldly” to “evil” its future, He said; “Behold saith God, “I will yet come do marvelous, astonishing things among My people. It is My truth when heard, that shall cause subtility’s wisdoms and false understanding completely lacking discernment to vanish. And all Mine good men “shall see”! For I declare “woe” unto evil’s fruit thinking to hide from Me what their counsel wrongly teaches. They speak and cover their evil with darkness; thinking who sees or really knows us?” But I do declare woe!
