10 seeds that have been planted during COVID-19

I was listening to the message I was using to produce the podcast (find it at revtrev.com/radio) What to do when you want to give up. I got to the part about planting seeds in a famine because maybe God will bless them.

I preached What to Do When You Want to Give Up at the start of COVID-19 and thought I should pause and think about what seeds I’ve planted.

If you were to look on my autofocus list that I keep myself up-to-date with, you might be overwhelmed for me.

Trust me, I’m not.

I get invigorated when I see a plan come together. I get motivated to finish the work I’ve been entrusted to do.

But I have learned to take a breath and look at what’s been able to be planted during this time that can easily be considered a drought.

Isaac planted seeds

Isaac planted in a drought and God blessed it...he really blessed it. Isaac was able to have 100 fold increase.

All I offer is loaves and fishes that Jesus can choose to bless and multiply how he likes.

But it’s great to celebrate where we’ve come from before we get to where God wants us to be.

Join me as I celebrate what I feel God has prompted me to attempt and empowered me to accomplish.

10 seeds that have been planted during COVID-19

  1. The Live Light Above the Negativity Challenge- 40 daily emails and tips and tools to fast from negativity at revtrev.com/fast
  2. The interactive e-book Tips to Live LIGHT above the Negativity available at revtrev.com/tipstofast
  3. Carpe Vitae - The Live LIGHT Manifesto 8th edition The printable version is available at revtrev.com/LLM
  4. The Blessings From the Book - 32 days of blessings and prayers - a Live Cast, now available in audio through Live Light Soundwise at revtrev.com/audio
  5. The Live LIGHT Community - a negativity-free zone, realm of encouragement that is a social media site without the ads, politics or biased fact-checks of Facebook - LiveLightCommunity.com
  6. Weekly Messages to help you Live LIGHT available on Soundwise at revtrev.com/audio
  7. RevTrev Radio to help you have peace at all times and in every situation revtrev.com/radio
  8. Live LIGHT Encouragement - the (new) weekly email to encourage you to Live LIGHT revtrev.com/encouragement
  9. Live LIGHT Academy - this is being transferred to a new platform that works better with the app. But you can still access the How to be Happier Course at revtrev.com/happy
  10. The Live LIGHT App - has all these features and more to come. It’s downloadable in iOS and has been submitted to Google Play. Learn more revtrev.com/app

These are all seeds. They can all grow into something beautiful.

I have so many more features to put into the APP. I have 165 episodes already planned for RevTrev Radio. I have audiobooks and audio devotionals planned for Live LIGHT Soundwise. Live LIGHT Academy...wow, first quarter 2021 look out. It’s course-apaloza on the verge of exploding. Not to mention books and e-books in fiction and non-fiction.

And oh yah, I spoke a series on The Harvest is Plentiful and from that mapped out a new course with the working title “Live LIGHT, Shine Bright - to help you move from regularly feeling guilty and less than you are because you’d rather outsource the Great Commission to being empowered by Holy Spirit to joyfully proclaim the Kingdom, reveal the Kingdom and Obey the King as you go in the day-to-day of your everyday.”

That’s a mouthful. I need to work on that. Everything in it’s time.

I can’t get caught up in the rush. I need times to reflect, times to remember.

Pauses help me remember that it is the stories that I hear about how things I do encourage and bless YOU that blesses me so much.

I get reminded that the only metric I’m interested in is the stories of lives finding peace at all times and in every situation.

Don’t let your seeds go to waste

You see why I took time to pause and consider and appreciate what’s been done.

Have you paused and considered what God’s been doing in your life? What fruit is Holy Spirit growing? What grace do you find yourself abounding in?

Tell me in the comments and let’s keep this discussion going.

By the way, you can share a video story with me and my connections at revtrev.com/mystory

I forgot... I planted that over this season as well. It’s cool technology. You can do it from the Live LIGHT App.

How to Fight with HONOUR

All of us need to know how to fight with HONOUR. Learn how you can start doing it today.

Verse on HONOUR

Philippians 2:2-4 The Message Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.
Fight with HONOUR

Thoughts on How to fight with HONOUR

When I started counselling couples, one of the first activities I had them do was to set up ground rules for fighting. If it was premarital counselling and the couple wasn’t living together the rules were a little airy-fairy. If the couple was in trouble they’d come back with rules, “Only slam the door once when you’re running away from the argument.

It didn’t take me long to develop this tool to give them. I’ve developed it further over time and encourage people to use it with whoever they need to confront about something. This works great to start any difficult conversation.

For couples I now recommend they dance their discussions. Either one can suggest a dance. Neither one can ever deny. Hold each other close, sway to some beat and don’t try to step on each others toes.

For non-married relationships we have tips to how to fight with HONOUR

Tips to How To Fight With HONOUR

Hone in on the topic at hand.

Speak to the situation “This is what you

did/said; this is why I disagree/it upset me.”

Only speak words of life.

Cut out the sarcasm, condemnation and shame.

Name calling and labels are never to be returned.

Resorting to name calling and labels is the same as placing curses on people. Don’t do it to them, even if they started it.

Operate in the present.

Avoid saying, “You always” and “You never”. Both are untrue and are used to simply cause pain. If you’re physically present with the person, look at them in the eye and don’t turn your back to them.

Understand the other person.

Listen to what they are saying. Reflect back what you think you hear and see. When they agreed you hear them, continue on.

Resolve the argument.

It’s OK to disagree. Allow them the right to hold their own opinion. Don’t go to bed angry. Don’t bring the argument up with others to rally support or curry pity; continue to honour the person. Remember it’s your job to choose to forgive and choose to bless.

Can I pray for you?

Holy Spirit thank you that you’ll give us the words to say whenever we need them. Thank you Jesus you’ll give us your love when we need more. Thank you Father you give us wisdom when we ask. Please be with those who are watching this because they need to confront someone about something. Help them to speak truth in love. Amen.

4 Tips to stop the worry

Worry is only possible when we don’t trust God to be good and in a good mood. But how do you stop it when worry controls you? Learn how to stop the worry today.

Verse on Worry

Mathew 6:25-26 The Message “If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don’t fuss about what’s on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.

Thoughts on worry and Christians

I’ve met a few Christians who admit they worry. I’ve met so many more that call worrying prayer and wonder why their prayers don’t get answered. You have a good Father who loves you and I have tips to help you to stop the worry today.

tips to stop the worry

4 Tips to stop the worry

1. Agree with the fact God cares for you.

1 Peter 5:7 (NLT) Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

2. Live out of your relationship.

12 times in Matthew 6 Jesus used a term for God that was rarely used in Hebrew Scriptures - He called him Father.

3. Pray about everything.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Don’t try to stop worrying. How can you stop thinking about something by thinking about not thinking about it? All you end up doing is putting condemnation on yourself when you start to worry. Instead, learn to take those worries and turn them into fervent, effective prayers.

Make it a habit to think about what you think about. When you find yourself thinking about things you worry or fear, turn it over to praying about the truth about God and His promises for you. And keep your worries for your prayer time. If you find yourself worried or fearful in the day, put it off until your prayer time. You can train yourself to put off those thoughts until later. You can even tell them, “Not now.” If you find you can’t put those worries off, start your prayer time then and there.

4. Choose to be thankful.

Gratitude is the attitude that changes worries into promises. -Trevorism
Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Romans 1:21 (New Living Translation)

Can I pray?

Heavenly Father, I thank you we can trust you. I thank you when we trust you we have peace. I pray all of us can feel like we’re walking with you in the garden in the cool of the day. I pray we’ll respond to you your care, live out of who you say we are, pray about everything with thanksgiving. Amen

Verse

Matthew 7 1-5 The Message “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults— unless, of course, you want the same treatment. That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging. It’s easy to see a smudge on your neighbour’s face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, ‘Let me wash your face for you,’ when your own face is distorted by contempt? It’s this whole traveling road-show mentality all over again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face, and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbour.
confrontation

Thoughts on Confrontation

When I was younger, I thought confrontation was a good word. I’d run to any challenge. I’d face any comer. That’s changed since my heart attack. But the good news is, I learned how to speak the truth in love that’s what I’m going to share with you today.

4 Tips on Confrontation

  1. When your challenged, it might be ok to ignore. Nehemiah wouldn’t be taken away from his work at rebuilding the wall. (Nehemiah 6:2-3) Is the situation ignorable?
  2. If you can’t avoid the challenge - look for the gold in the person. What does God love about them? It changes you from wanting to defend yourself to wanting to hear God’s thoughts about what’s happening. Remember, a soft answer turns away wrath. (Proverbs 15:1)
  3. If you need to confront someone - When you need to confront realize your not in the right place if your going to enjoy putting someone in their place. Take the time to get in the right place. Figure out if they are willing to listen - drop seeds, set standards, give them the time to come back to you.
  4. In either situation - protect your peace. Remember to forgive and bless.

Can I pray?

Heavenly Father, if we need to talk to someone about something help us to do it in love. Help us to look out for the interest of others. Help us to speak in love. Give us boldness to speak the truth.

Tips to stop feeling busy

It’s hard to stop being busy. Have your ever tried it? It’s the feeling of busyness that overwhelms us. Today I’ll give you tips to cut it out at the root.

Verse

Matthew 6:30-33 The Message (MSG) “If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
feeling busy

Thoughts on feeling busy

We live in a culture that praises busyness. Have you ever caught your responding to the question “How are you doing?” By saying, “I’m busy”?

I’m not criticizing people who have a lot on the go. It’s the Christian work ethic that has built western civilization. I know we can accomplish a lot a feel satisfied not overwhelmed.

But it’s the feeling of being overwhelmed with busyness I’m going to help you get over today.

You were created to walk with God in garden in the cool of the day. Let’s help you get there today.

Tips to stop feeling busy

  1. Know the root of busyness. It’s shame. Unhealthy competition, keeping up with the Jones, FOMO, saving face, doing what’s expected, following societal norms, “I have to put food on the table”
  2. Know shame can mask as virtue. We hide it well. Ask Holy Spirit “Why am I feeling busy?” Jesus told us we can’t work for the show or work for the dough. We can hide either well.
  3. Know the difference between shame and guilt. Guilt is on what we do you leave undone. Shame is on who we are.
  4. Know how to stop shame as your motivation.

How to stop shame as a motivation

1. Confess the sinful ways you have responded to the shame root in your life.

Heavenly Father, I have used busyness to keep me from feeling shame and in response to the shame I feel by (insert activity). In doing this, I have given other people the right to determine my worth. I have not trusted what you say about me. I ask for your forgiveness for this sinful pattern and receive your forgiveness today. Help me to allow Holy Spirit to heal the root of shame in my life.

2. Ask the Father to remind you of people who have shamed you. Make the choice to forgive them.

Heavenly Father, I choose to forgive people who have shamed me. Specifically I choose to forgive (name the person) for shaming me by (incident). I release them into your hands and bless them in the name of Jesus.

3. Ask the Father to break the lies you have come to believe about yourself.

Ask the Father, Son or Spirit to take you back to the place in your past where shame took root. You’ll be brought to a memory.

Describe the situation or picture.

Find where Jesus (or the Father, or the Spirit) is in the memory.

Ask Jesus (or the Father, or the Spirit) the lie you learned from the situation (there can be more than shame).

Renounce the lie(s).

Ask Jesus (or the Father, or the Spirit) what the truth is.

Agree with God and declare the truth.

If you have difficulty with this process get someone with Sozo, Theophostic, or Immanuel training to help you.

4. Live out shame-free relationships.

It is only through healthy relationships that the wounds of shame can ever be fully healed. You need to get into life-giving relationships that do not shame you into action or inaction. You need to commit to doing the same for others.

When you’ve been wounded in community you can only be fully healed in community.- Trevorism

Can I pray for you?

Heavenly Father, thank you for being a good father and for taking care of every need. Thank you for providing us with everything we need for life and godliness. Thank you Jesus that we can’t work the show or work for the dough. Thank you Father we can trust you.

Verse

So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective. Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life—even though invisible to spectators—is with Christ in God. He is your life. When Christ (your real life, remember) shows up again on this earth, you’ll show up, too—the real you, the glorious you. Meanwhile, be content with obscurity, like Christ. Colossians 3:1-4 The Message (MSG)

Verse

Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives. That means we will not compare ourselves with each other as if one of us were better and another worse. We have far more interesting things to do with our lives. Each of us is an original. Live Creatively friends. Galatians 4:25-5:1 MSG

Thoughts on How to Fast from Negativity

I haven’t really laid out the “How to” of a fast from negativity. It’s because that’s something that really up to you. When we do one together over Lent, I set more of the boundaries. But when your doing it or organizing your own group to do one, these tips will help.

4 Tips To Fast from Negativity

  1. Pick a season- 40, 52, 3 sets of 21 (Caroline Leaf)
  2. Increase the positive (Steve Backlund- Negativity Fast and Positivity Feast) - sign up for daily email, join Live LIGHT friends, start a Bible Reading plan, listen to worship music on your commute or when you exercise, think about the good, true, right...
  3. Decrease the negative. Limit news cycle. Watch what you watch on TV, don’t show up to every argument wristbands snap
  4. Do it with others. Spouse. Family. Co workers. Church. Live LIGHT friends tool - how to approach a family member to fast from negativity with you?)

Prayer

Lord, I pray that everyone who chooses to fast from negativity will be blessed and be a blessing. I pray as they refresh others they themselves will be refreshed. I ask for a special grace to sense you more and know you better. I pray they’d trust you more and more and always have your peace. Amen
