"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in it's various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God." I Peter 4: 10-11


Dear Reader- This Blog started in February of 2011 and the pages are numbered. Please begin reading on Page One and continue from there. As you move down the path of the pages it is my hope that scripture astounds you and God, Himself, is revealed.

Scripture confirms that if you acknowledge God as God and draw close to His truths He will draw close to you! As you get to know God through scripture you will begin to see Him work in your life AND hear Him speak to your heart. It is not an audible voice but an inner one-that will change your life on earth...and beyond!

To walk a little deeper each page has a song recommendation that deepens the spiritual lesson. Each song has been specifically chosen and holds a message that should not be missed. If there is not a link to the song on the page, it is recommended that you use iTunes, YouTube or another source to download these songs so that you can move deeper into spiritual truths that the song writers and musicians have creatively written about- for your blessing and God's glory!

Cadence of Commonality! Page 71


DISSONANCE DEFINED:
“An inconsistency; inharmonious; lack of agreement.”

COGNITIVE DISSONANCE DEFINED:
“The state of mental conflict.”


This world beckons us! 
It calls out to the human mind and encourages us to seek the familiar; 
to go along with popular opinion;
to be like those around us!  Each day we live in the grind of the cadence of commonality! 
This is comfortable and easy, we think!  The cadence keeps us on our earthly path
 and this is good, we think!  Staying on the path of finite sameness we don’t hear 
our own beating heart as it beckons us to something infinitely different. 

But, then cognitive dissonance begins its cadence and we subconsciously feel a conflict. 
The spirit within us is calling out and that is where the conflict begins. Whether we’re in tuned  
with this our not, our beating heart pumps in cadence with the Spirit of God of Creation!
 Like the amazing universe we live in we are designed to be vast and bold; 
filled with so much positive energy that we mentally explode with power, 
love and unique creativity.  Everyday we sit on the cusp of a new and fresh revelation 
yet we stop at the threshold of vast knowledge because we’ve limited our lives and souls
 with the cadence of the commonplace.  IT’S TIME TO BE DIFFERENT!!!



Scripture says:
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine,
 according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory…”
Ephesians 3:20-21

Let’s dare to ask God for revelations that are beyond our own imagination 
and live vast lives everyday!!!

Scripture says:
“Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and whoever sows generously we also reap generously.”
2 Corinthians 9: 6

Let’s be crazy generous- everyday!!!!

Scripture says:
“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation,
so that you may know him better.
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened
in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you,
the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,
and his incomparably great power for us who believe.
That power is like the working of his mighty strength….”
Ephesians 1:17-20

Let’s pray powerful prayers like this EVERYDAY!  Let’s be bold enough to 
“believe that He exists” and to march to the cadence of the drumming of the God
 who Commands an Army of Angels.  THIS is our inheritance!
  And there is nothing common about it! 

FOR SCRIPTURE SAYS:
“And without faith it is impossible to please God,
Because anyone who comes to him
must believe that he exists
 and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6
