“Shame destroys your ability to distinguish
between a value statement and an observation.” – William Paul Young

God is doing a deep work in me and my heart. Perhaps he wants to do the same with you.

Have you ever had an experience where you knew for certain it was God and left you with a message you could never forget?

Yesterday (March 18) was my birthday. It was the most unusual and most special birthday I can recall.

Proverbs 16:9 says, “A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.“

Seven years ago to the day (March 18, 2010), Holy Spirit inspired me to release “The Father’s Blessing” to the world via a webinar with Dr. Bruck Cook as my guest speaker. It was by far the most popular webinar I had done up to that time and that webinar catapulted me into a whole new level of effectiveness in my global ministry outreach.

Yesterday for my birthday, I planned to release another profound blessing to the world sharing the Father’s heart by sending a Sabbath Inspiration titled “The Dream Spirit Blessing”. My plan was to bless you and the other 13,000+ people in my email network with a profound spirit blessing to empower your God-given dreams.

But God …. had other plans.

My wife left home at 5:30 yesteday morning to run the Charlottesville 10 Miler. That’s a 50 minute drive from our home. When she got back home, we had breakfast and then she roasted coffee for her business for several hours. Julia asked about going to a movie and dinner out to celebrate my birthday.

I wasn’t sure about the movie because I”m not a big movie buff and am quite selective about the movies I choose to go to.

Around 5 pm, Julia and I left home with our two dogs to drive them to a place where we could take them for a long walk on the beautiful day. However, as a bad thunderstorm approached, we ended the walk early.

The extra time allowed me to catch up with a few tasks at my desk. including following up with Lynne Lee and Pam Loucks about the Dream Teams.

At 6:45 pm, I was inspired to call Pam about something important. When Pam answered the phone, she told me she was just thinking about me as she was getting ready to leave her home. In our 7 minute conversation, Pam told me she recently went to watch The Shack movie and how wonderful that was,

That reminded me of a video Dr. Susan Austin recently sent me with an interview of Paul Young, author of The Shack book, which has sold more than 20 million copies in more than 30 languages. Paul Young is one of the most transparent people you will ever meet.

 
Anyhow, around 7 pm I did a Google search to see what movies were playing in Culpeper Virginia at our only theater. Only three movies showed up – “Beauty and the Beast”, “Kong”, and “Get Out”. It was too late to drive to the local movie theater to watch those movies because they had just started.,

So I then did another Google search specifically looking for The Shack and discovered that was starting at 7:20 pm in Culpeper. I asked Julia if she wanted to go to that movie and she said yes. So we bolted out the door to get there just at the movie started.

As I watched the movie I was overcome with the goodness of God, realing this was His birthday gift to me to help me better understand how deep His love is, not just for me, but for everyone. I personally thought the movie was great and realized how few people really know the deep and unconditional love of their heavenly Father.

While I recognize the controversial nature of this movie, I endorse it as an opportunity for healing deep wounds and to open discussion into spiritual matters.

Let me ask you:

• Are you quick to judge?
• Do you want mercy to be your new currency?
• Do you want to really know the Father’s love – deeply?
• Are you harboring hidden unforgivness in deep, dark chambers of your heart?
• Is shame destroying your ability to distinguish between a value statement and an observation?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then consider watching The Shack movie.

Remember, shame destroys your ability to distinguish between a value statement and an observation.
