Cycles - Now Think On This by Steve Martin
Cycles
Now Think On This
Steve Martin
“A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, and a word spoken in due
season, how good it is!” (Proverbs 15:23, NKJV)
All around us there are cycles. The nightly sky typically glows with the
light of the moon, which completes a full cycle from a new moon to a full moon
in 29.5 days. The Hebrew or Jewish calendar is based on this, these lunisolar
phases, giving the Jews a consistent basis for anticipating feasts and regular
days of consistent life.
New years come and go. We count on them to bring the completion of one
year, bringing hope for a better one to come, and maybe start over in certain
aspects in our lives. According to the Julian calendar, every 365 days that specific
cycle comes full circle.
“You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set. You
bring darkness, and it is night, the time when all forest animals prowl. The
young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God. The sun rises,
they slink away and lie down to rest in their dens; while people go out to
their work, laboring on till evening.
What variety there is in your works, Adonai! How many [of them there
are]! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creations. (Psalm
104:19-24 Complete Jewish Bible)
In most climates of the earth, we have the four seasons. Spring, summer,
fall and winter bring new life, new growth and new creation before the annual cycle
completes its life with “death” or hibernation settling in for months, before it
starts all over again. For many, this continual cycle is very refreshing, bringing
the newness of flourishing green, yellow, red, and all colors of the rainbow
in vegetation and bird life, as the cycle repeats itself.
Certainly our God is a God of cycles. With so many examples in the
natural, we can expect to find them also in the spiritual.
“However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the
spiritual. The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from
heaven. As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the
heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. Just as we have borne the image
of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.” (1 Corinthians
15:46-49 NASU)
Often I have been amazed at these spiritual cycles. I have written of them
over my years, and can clearly see seven year markers on this life timeline. I
can go back in my spiritual walk and map the years based on these seven year
increments, seeing major highlights and milestones that the Lord Jesus had
established and planned through them, believing they were assigned even before my
birth.
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were
born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations." (Jeremiah
1:5, NASU)
At times I need to remind myself of these cycles, believing that even while
I am yet in the middle of another one, finding myself once again wondering if the
completion of expectations will yet come soon, that the past promises fulfilled
can be a foretelling proof of the future ones also being prophetically fulfilled.
In the proper time of course.
You too can count on the Almighty God to bring completion of cycles in
your life. Whether you are in the beginning, middle or end of your current spiritual
one, the hope placed within can see you through to the circle being completed,
with new life brought forth once again. As we keep our eyes on the Lord, our Eternal Hope, Author and Finisher of our faith, certainly we can stand on
solid ground, and see dreams and visions come to fruition. In His time it shall
be so.
Be glad that the Creator of all, Who has set in motion consistent cycles
in your natural and spiritual life, will surely come through once again in your
life through these spiritual cycles. We can count on Him to do it. He is Faithful
and True.
Persevere to the end. You will see the cycle's completion, and rejoice in
His love, wisdom and provision.

Zebra, Moon & Truck. What? - Now Think On This by Steve Martin
Zebra, Moon & Truck.
What?
Now Think On This
Steve Martin
“These things we also speak, not in words which
man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual
things with spiritual.” (1 Corinthians 2:13 NKJV)
It is
a snow and ice day here in Charlotte, NC this January day. No uptown office
open for work. Schools are shut down. After all, there is an inch of snow on
the ground. I love how this global warming fantasy hits us! (But in all fairness to
Charlotteans and many Carolinians, there is a ¼” of ice under the snow.
Treacherous.)
So great!
I can write another Now Think On This message!
This
past week I attended the Wednesday night classes our church, MorningStar (Rick Joyner) in
Fort Mill, SC, started up again with the new year. Being I want to have the
Holy Spirit more develop the prophetic gift He has given me in some measure, with
further training, I selected the “Prophetic 101” six week course. There was a
good turnout. People are getting more hungry for His Word.It will be an hour of power.
After listening
to a time of instruction, which I had familiarity with much of it already, the
teacher asked us to pray a short moment at our tables. (We use tables rather than
rows of chairs. Works good in getting to know others.) She said to then write
down words or phrases that the Holy Spirit would give us, with us assuming and believing
that we would then share them with another, as something to encourage them with.
So I
did. (I was always a good student!)
As you
will see in the photo, I wrote in one column down the left hand side of the page
the following words:
Zebra,
moon, blue, river, truck, anticipation, songbird, elation, joyful, and
simplify.
What?
I had
no idea what they meant, or stood for. I knew the Holy Spirit knew, for He normally
either gives me a “prophetic word” as a picture in my mind whenever I receive a
prophetic word, to start with, or just one word, as a word of knowledge
(literally, right?)
Then
the instructor told us that those words or phrases we had written down were actually for
us. Oh really? Nice. Now I was certainly intrigued. This class will be good I
thought.
As I
usually do, I shared the words with Laurie once I got home, and being past my
bedtime, dutifully went to bed. I would have to ponder over the words in the
days to come.
Well,
that was three days ago, and I had just initially put the words in my “Prophetic
Words 2016” 3-ring binder, along with other personal ones from 2015. But this morning
I took them out of the protective plastic sleeve and asked the Holy Spirit to
give me further revelation. He did.
“Zebra”
to me represents black and white. I am a “black and white” guy. No gray in my
character, or so I hope. Others, even my boss at Derek Prince Ministries back
in the day, once told me I was “too black and white.” At the time he wasn’t
congratulating me. (Basically, I was be asked to “expand” my viewpoint in a
situation, as he saw it.) I still see things either black or white.
“Moon”
– well, I desire to reflect the Son. I hope we all have that heart’s desire
within us, and that we shine in the darkness growing all around us.
“Blue”
– the color blue in spiritual, prophetic words represents “prophetic”. I want
to grow in that gift of the Holy Spirit. Thus the weekly Wednesday night class
attendance for me.
“River”
– may the Holy Spirit’s “river of life” flow through us, bringing His
refreshing and provision!
“Truck”
– moving in ministry should be our desire - to have that “vehicle” to hear and
then obey the Lord as we move forward. I want a big truck!
“Anticipation”
– without hope our vision fails us. Without having an anticipation for what the
good Lord has planned and purposed for us will leave us in discouragement,
defeat, and ultimate death in our walk with Jesus (Yeshua).
“Songbird”
– one who is singing praise, proclamations and declarations of the Lord. Yes!
Love it! May we have a heart of worship towards the Risen King of Israel and
the nations.
“Elation”
– not sure on this one yet. Any advice out there?
“Joyful”
– a fruit of the Holy Spirit. May His joy be ours, so we can be overcomers in
all that we will face today, and tomorrow, with His grace and power.
“Simplify”
– the times are coming when we will have to simplify our lives, not only for
ourselves, but also our families. “The times
they are a changin’” as Bob Dylan sang in 1964. Even more so in our time,
and we best get ready for it. This won’t be our daddy’s lifestyle for that
which lies ahead of us. We will have to cut back in our consumption of worldly
goods, and be ready to share what we have more so with others.
Ask
Him to speak to you today. He certainly wants to. Together we need more of the
Holy Spirit in our lives. We need You daily Lord, so we can hear and obey.
More
Lord. We need more of You.
So think on this, with the compassionate
love of the Lord,
