DECEMBER 31 - Sadly, most Christians don’t understand righteousness. Instead, they live in the New Covenant with an Old Covenant mind. What do I mean by that? Well, under the Old Covenant, God wrote His commandments in stone with His finger. He told His people, “Don’t commit adultery. Don’t bear false witness. Don’t have any other gods before Me. Don’t covet your neighbor’s wife. Don’t do this, and don’t do that.”

A Christian who doesn’t understand his own righteousness before God eventually begins to live like a robot, consumed with his efforts to fulfill all the do’s and avoid all the don’ts. On the inside, though, his mind rips him apart as he struggles with old, carnal desires to do wrong things.

God made a new covenant with man through the blood of His Son, and now He sees no fault in humanity. That’s not to say that humanity has no fault—it does. Rather, it’s to say that what Jesus did was enough
to eradicate the resulting spiritual separation.

Father, I thank You that by the deeds of the law, no flesh is justified in Your sight. But now Your righteousness apart from the law is revealed to me and in me.

DECEMBER 30 - To evolve means: to gradually acquire new traits or characteristics. In order to improve in any endeavor, we must be willing to acquire new traits and skills. These new acquisitions cause us to excel above the rest. Always remember: The excellent get ahead during the times that the mediocre waste.

We must spend any spare moment to improve our relationship with God, marriages, friendships, or our personal character. Our time is precious, and time is the price we must pay in order to see our lives continually improve.

Father I thank you that I am a new creature. Old things are passed away, behold everything has become new. I am righteous because I am in Christ and Christ is in me.

DECEMBER 29 - It has become a celebrated fact that we live in a civilization of head-throbbing commotion and nerve-shattering anxiety. Lifetimes frantically begin and end in a whirlwind of superficial activity and
nonstop bustling, all this simply to “make a living.” Yet, at the core of every person is a passionate desire to discover something deeper. The heart of every man possesses profound longings for life’s meaning and purpose.

Have you ever met an individual who appears to have it all together but remains dissatisfied? Although he has achieved some degree of success, the lack of fulfillment gnaws at his soul like a semi taking a chunk from his rear bumper. He is not happy, though he has every reason to be, and there’s no explanation in the world for it. Continually he asks the question, What does this all mean? His void of purpose stretches as far as the longest superhighway across three states.

So when the streetlights are illuminated and we are alone with our thoughts, the questions begin to emerge: Why am I here? Is there a purpose for my life? Is there a specific assignment that I am supposed to fulfill? How do I discover that assignment? And once I do, how do I bring it to pass?

Father I thank you that I do not conform myself to this world, but I allow you to transform my life by changing the way I think. I embrace your Word, therefore I will discover my purpose in life.

DECEMBER 28 - The wisest man who ever lived wrote, “Wealth from hard work grows.” Isn’t it interesting, though, that men sometimes believe that there is a shortcut to wealth? Notice that Solomon didn’t say you couldn’t get wealth in a get-rich-quick scheme. Actually, he said just the opposite; he said that you can get rich quick! The catch is that as quickly as it comes, it disappears.

The reason get-rich-quick schemes don’t work out for long is because they bypass the stages of growth and maturity that are necessary for a person to be able to handle wealth. It is like giving a teenager his license without any training behind the wheel. Sure, he could legally drive, but he would doubtlessly have an accident in no time. God’s ways, however, are always best. His instruction to us is that we, once and for all, do away with shortcuts to a better life. But we must embrace prosperity God’s way—

• Hard work
• Diligence
• Refusal to give up Then we find a better life is ours in no time.

Father, I thank You that You know all my needs, and You always provide for me. I ask you to give me strength to work hard and see Your prosperity come into my life.

Living In God’s House - CD

God has great plans for your life. But none of those plans can be accomplished apart from God. Only when you abide (live) in Him can you see your divine purpose fulfilled.

In the same way that different people choose different places to live, Christians seem to choose different levels of abiding (living) in Christ. The degree to which we choose to live in Him determines how far we go or grow in Him.

If you choose to live in the “outhouse,” you may not have the pressure or maintenance of an intimate relationship, but neither will you have the rich amenities and lavish abundance of living in the “castle.”

After listening to this powerful and creative message, you will be ready to upgrade your living arrangements and move up to abiding intimately with Him!

DECEMBER 27 - Trim since a young girl, her long, silky blond hair caught the attention of onlookers of all ages. Playing the piano with confident expertise, her father owned a large moving company so fashionable clothes, the latest cars, and frequent trips came without thought. Hovering about her as she dropped into church on Sunday morning to fill in for the regular pianist, her performance went without a hitch—every note played to perfection, not a sour note in any of the seven hymns. Yet, no one had ever heard her testimony. Had she truly followed Christ? Was she in right standing with Him after all?

Our right standing with God lies within the act of Jesus on the cross two thousand years ago. Don’t believe that you can achieve righteousness of your own merit. If that is true, Jesus died in vain. Never diminish the power of the cross by attempting to stand before God righteously based upon your good performance. Remember, in the eyes of God, all of our righteousness is as filthy rags.

Father, I thank You that I have right standing with You. You declare that I am the righteousness. I live in obedience to Your Word, and I enjoy the rewards of being righteous.

DECEMBER 26 - At Jerusalem’s annual Passover celebration, meeting together in an upper room, the Master ominously warned the disciples of His betrayal. Afterward, He prayed in such agony that sweat drops and
blood dotted the ground. The chief priests, captains, and elders of the temple, along with Judas, arrived with swords, preparing to arrest Jesus and put Him on trial.

Ever before God’s Son was the cross. And Jesus, our greatest example, demonstrates the supreme power of accurate focus, even in the chaos of His trial and crucifixion. James 1:2 tells us that life brings many storms and tests our way. Only those who focus on the grapes of Canaan survive. We can have the determination to press on if we prepare by asking ourselves:

• Where am I headed in life?
• What do I want to accomplish, possess, and become?

It is a reality that those who have nowhere to go usually have no internal fortitude to advance. We must always remember—our lives move in the direction of our focus. Although what we go through may seem too difficult to overcome, it is imperative we focus on the victory that awaits us. For Christ, that focus was the cross. And just as an athlete focuses on running the race to win the prize, so we also must have a clear, distinct image of the victory, and not the storm. As we focus on what we are going to, Heaven gives us the strength to make it through.

Father, I am thankful for the promises of Canaan in my life. I declare that I will go up and take possession of what is rightfully mine. I look to Jesus who is the author and finisher of my faith.

Your Spiritual Checkup - CD Series

Have you accepted your new identity in Christ or do you continually deal with shame, guilt, and low self-esteem. The thoughts we identify with, whether good or bad, sculpt our destiny. Envision the marvelous transformation that would take place if we learned how to walk in our true identity. Imagine what life would be like if you were able to confidently identify with Christ instead of your old sin nature – nothing but victory, joy, and fulfillment. If you desire to learn the keys to walk in your new identity, this series is for you!

DECEMBER 25 - As believers in Jesus Christ, we are called to walk by faith and not by sight. Our obedience brings Heaven no pleasure until it is first mixed with faith. Faith is not a magical powder Heaven showers upon those who ask for it. Faith is not something for which one can pray, nor does it come because we go through a negative experience. We only find two ways in all of Scripture that indicate how we can increase our faith:

• Hearing the Word of God.
• The confession of our mouths.

Before we can understand why that is, we must understand that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. God’s Word is full of truths that many of us have yet to experience in our lives. The more we meditate upon the truths of God’s Word and confess them throughout our day, the more faith begins to rise up within our hearts. We then possess the necessary power to overcome the assorted array of giants in our life. Once faith is released through our mouth and ignited by our actions, we soon see the manifestation of God’s promises in our lives.

Father, I thank You that I walk by faith and not by sight. I continually incline my ear to hear Your Word and I meditate upon it day and night. I know that Your promises are manifested in my life.

DECEMBER 24 -

• What have you been focusing on lately?
• Is it God’s Word, or is it the problems you face?

Accurate focus is the most vital ingredient to the success of any believer. If we learn how to focus on what God said concerning all facets of our situation, everything falls right into place. But if we fail to focus on His Word, we see our situation turn out to be insurmountable for us to overcome. We must understand—whatever we focus upon enlarges, expanding as large as the Red Sea. But this doesn’t happen in the physical realm as much as it occurs in the strategicbattlefield of our minds.

The more we focus on what God said, the smaller our problems seem. Remember, every person believes they are the one with the biggest problem. An adult may be consumed with forty-five thousand dollars of credit card debt, while a seven-year-old boy may owe the classroom bully forty-five cents. Both problems are great to each individual because the magnitude of any problem lies within the mind. If we want to see fear depart from our lives, we must simply begin to focus on what is written. What God said is the truth not a truth. As we embrace the truths of Heaven, the infection of fear is soon cured.

Father, I thank You that You did not give me a spirit of fear but of love and of a sound mind. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for You are with me, Your rod and Your staff are a comfort to me.

DECEMBER 23 - No more hangovers; no more obnoxious blackouts; no more embarrassing D.U.I. convictions. Although a believer, the thirty-year-old accountant hadn’t been able to break the bondage of alcohol that had virtually devastated his life, leaving him near death about a year earlier. But now that he was genuinely liberated, he was determined to walk in that freedom, becoming accountable to the small group of recovering alcoholics with whom he had voluntarily joined. The group, devoted to the teachings and commandments of the Word of God, brought him to trust completely in heaven’s opinion instead of his own.

There is absolutely no freedom outside of the Word of God. The scripture tells us we are all born slaves to sin. Through our acceptance of what Jesus Christ did on the cross, we are set free from the bondage of sin.
Even though we have been set free, we still wonder how to walk in that freedom. It is one thing to be free, but walking in the fullness of that freedom, like the recovering alcoholic believer, is something completely different.

I am convinced that the most miserable man in the universe is the one who has been set free, yet has no idea how to walk it out. Yet, God gave us the knowledge we need to walk in the fullness of our redemption. We know David discovered it because of the words he penned, “I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to Your Word.” So many see that as information they already know, but to David, it was revelation that  transformed his life. David’s decision to devote himself to the Word of God enabled him to walk in the liberty that was rightfully his. It is of necessity that we commit ourselves to meditate on the Word of God every day.

Father, I thank You that my freedom lies within the pages of Your Word. I embrace what You say and exchange what I think for what You think.

DECEMBER 22 - Being a believer does not necessarily qualify us to receive the abundant life Jesus desires for us to wonderfully achieve and blissfully enjoy. Diplomas are not passed out on registration day for your freshman year in college. God calls for those who truly put their trust in Him to reign in this life. It is our God-given right and responsibility to reign over our flesh and the enemy that comes against us.

So why is it that so many Christians do not walk in a life of abundant rewards? We must not kid ourselves when answering this question. We can clearly see in scripture that rewards come only to those who overcome. Nobody gets rewarded for participation—divine rewards come only to those who win the contest.

We are in a battle and Satan is not going to surrender or lose effortlessly. He will, however, bow his knee and fall to defeat if we continue to retaliate with the spiritual weapons that we possess. As we resist his
onslaught and become people who conquer, we soon experience the abundant and rewarding life God desires for us.

Father, I thank You that Jesus came to give me abundant life. I am victorious over my flesh and the enemy that continues to pursue my life. I reign forevermore and enjoy the rewarding abundant life You desire for me.

You Are Healed - Book

From God’s perspective, health is not something that we lack and must try to attain. Rather, it is a possession that is already ours – but the thief is trying to steal it!

Jesus went to the cross to deliver us, once and for all, from the curse of sickness and disease. So, why does divine healing often seem to be so elusive? It’s because the only proof we have of our healing, until it is manifested, is the written Word of God.

Nevertheless, God’s Word is all the proof we need! Dr. Thompson shows you how to apply the principles of God’s Word to your life, until you experience the divine health in which God intends you to walk. This book equips you with the spiritual prescription needed to attain health, wholeness, and vitality in your body.
