+ OUTCOME 

An outcome is defined as a conclusion reached through a process of logical thinking; a final product or result; a consequence; an issue.

Have you considered banking  your outcomes? God has a perfect record for all outcomes. Deposit all of your outcomes with Him, today! Follow Him wherever He leads, without worrying about how it will all turn out. Ask God to give you His perspective of  your life, today, one of adventure with Him as your tour guide and your travel companion. Only concentrate on staying in step with Him, one day, one moment at a time.  When you come to a steep arduous incline,  forge ahead with His help. When you come to a rest stop, take time to replenish in His Presence. Learn to appreciate the very heartbeat of life by residing close to Him. Your destination is a Heavenly place prepared for you by the Master’s  hands.
Only look upon the carved out trail right in front of you. Deposit outcomes for each day with Him.  Consider outcome deposits an investment in your Heavenly home.
John 14:1-3
Do not let your heart be troubled; trust in God, trust also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; I go to prepare a place for you. if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I Am there you may be also.

ARE YOU AN ESCAPOLOGIST?

Escapology is the practice of escaping from restraints or other traps. Escapologists are commonly known as escape artists. They are widely known for their skilled ability to escape from critical situations, coffins, steel boxes,  burning buildings, and difficult situations, often time in combination.

Praying Christians have been afforded the God-given blessing of escapology through the power of the Holy Spirit in the fellowship of prayer (His presence). When we commit to a life of prayer, we have all confidence that God is on our side, and If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Have you learned how to escape within, even in the midst of your life traps, life restraints, and life perils?   In fact, prayer is often the only action one can take because it is beyond all human control.  Perhaps multiple situations have cropped up, a combination of things,  seemingly overnight out of nowhere. I’d say you didn’t even see it coming.  God wants you to attend/ lean to Him.

 Prayer is God’s escapology for the believer.  A praying believer is an escape artist who knows how to access God on a moment-by-moment basis. The divine illusion is, that often no change is evident or visible to the natural eye. Your life circumstances and what seems to be a no-win situation may not have physically changed.  In fact, on the outside things are pretty much the same, but as your thoughts are re-focused on Him, something happened! The change may appear to others as an illusion, but God!  By the power of His presence, your heartfelt communion, and fellowship with Him, a metamorphic change takes place deep within the recesses of your heart and now you are re-focused on the One who controls all of life, great and small. This refocusing is a learned component of escapology that is accomplished only through consistent and persistent practice in prayer with the Master!

What’s in your repertoire of prayer escapology?  What is the greatest hindrance in your prayer life? What questions do you have about prayer? What’s your plan for going to another level and dimension with God? Is prayer the key element? How do you get there? Where do you start in your prayer development? These and other topics are open for discussion.
