Home > Committees > Public Policy > Public Policy Updates > NGA to Assist States develop Community-based Care Options at Policy Academy
September 26, 2006
WASHINGTON-The National Governors Association (NGA) Center for Best Practices announced today that is has selected eight states to participate in Rebalancing Long-Term Care Systems Toward Quality Community Living and Healthy Aging, a new NGA policy academy. Through the academy, NGA experts will work with high-level state teams from Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Vermont and Virginia to help build customized strategies to increase community-living options and decrease the need for institutional care.
The academy will kickoff in August with a meeting in Denver. There, teams will begin the interactive process of designing state-specific plans to create more balanced health care delivery systems that will help states maximize consumer choice, improve access to home and community-based services and programs, and reduce long-term case bias and costs-all within the states' current fiscal constraints. Participating teams will also examine strategies to enhance community infrastructure by developing and organizing community care system services, addressing the mental health and substance abuse issues, and promoting healthy aging.
'With Medicaid accounting for 21 percent of all state spending, the need to provide alternatives to institutional care is critical for states,' said John Thomasian, director for NGA's Center for Best Practices. 'But with states' costs for health care spiraling out of control, those alternatives must be both fiscally sound and innovative. This academy provides the perfect opportunity for states to learn from each other about strategies for success.'
Before and after this academy meeting, NGA Center staff will visit the eight states to assist the teams with planning and implementation. The site visits will also allow NGA staff to identify what has-and has not-worked so that state best practices can be shared with governors across the country.
'Governors know that people want to remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible,' said Diane Braunstein, the NGA Center program director responsible for managing the policy academy. 'This academy will help states find ways to rebalance their long-term care systems away from institutional care and toward community living.
'After the academy, governors will be encouraged to apply for a $48,000 grant to help defray the costs of implementing his or her state's plan in 2005. This policy academy is funded by the U.S. Administration on Aging, the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which are all agencies of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
# # #
The NGA Center for Best Practices, the nation's leading authority on state innovation, helps governors and their policy advisors develop and implement effective solutions to governance and policy challenges facing them in their states. The Center provides tailored technical assistance, tracks and evaluates state innovations and best practices, and helps governors and their staffs develop cutting-edge solutions.
NGA, founded in 1908, is the instrument through which the nation's governors collectively influence the development and implementation of national policy and apply creative leadership to state issues.

A few months back I read something that stuck with me: the crew working on a startup venture takes about six months to cohere. I had a good laugh about that, because we'd done so much better. From early September, as the founders came together to create the Light, everything worked perfectly.
Or maybe not.
In reality, there were plenty of moments of high drama, missed communications, even the occasional screaming conflicts that occur in the natural course of things as people come to know one another. The Light was the crucible which brought all of the elements together to alloy them into something more fine. It wasn't until after that process was completed – a process that took about six months – that we really began to work together.
Today, there isn't much discussion about who should do what when; people have started to anticipate the tasks they'll need to do, and do them. While not perfectly seamless, it does now feel well-oiled – as if this is the way it was always meant to work. And now there truly is no drama – at least not from within the organization. There will be more than enough drama involved in bringing the Next to launch (17 days!) to keep us all on our toes.
What exactly happened? To my mind, it seems we all learned we could trust one another. A friend recently told me that you had to spend 14 weeks with someone – seeing them through two seasons – before you really knew their heart. We've all been at this now for nearly nine months – three seasons. We've passed the point where we've learned enough about one another to know whether we're trustworthy. And we've passed the test.
Now that we know that we can trust, that we can be open and honest and direct with one another, now that we understand our shared goal, and that we all have a part in achieving that goal, it is possible to move forward with incredible speed and focus.

A "monster" acquisition, iPhone 5, and Vanity.com
A look at a few stories I haven't covered this week…
There are a few notable stories in the domain name industry that I missed writing about over the past week, so here's a quick run down.
A "monster" of an acquisition – Mesh Digital, which owns domain name registrar DomainMonster, has been acquired by Host Europe Group for an undisclosed sum. DomainMonster isn't a huge registrar, but it has proven quite adept at mastering domain registrations when new top level domains enter their "general availability period". This will come in handing with hundreds of TLDs coming on line in the next couple years.
iPhone5.com – Apple filed a UDRP to get iPhone5.com earlier this month. The owners put up an initial fight before deciding to hand the domain over the Apple this week.
Vanity.com – Quite a stink going on over at TheDomains about this UDRP filing. I hope there's more to this story than meets the eye. For what it's worth, the owner of the domain has had it since at least 2005. The company was formed in Nevada.
5 Comments
Re: iPhone5 – more bad pubicity for domainers, as theNextWeb author explains, "Apple has sometimes taken its time to protect its trademarks by claiming domain names from squatters." I visited the article, just to read the abuse commenters heep on investors, because of a few bad apples, no pun intended.
– Apple wins dispute over iPhone5.com domain name
I didn't have to scroll that far, as the author, Matt Brian, disses domainers as, "squatters."
Damn, I use domainmonster as my main registrar because you get free privacy which more than makes up for the extra dollar you pay for registration. And I use webfusion (part of host europe) as one of my main hosting providers.
I have a rule that I never use the same company for both services. So now I have to choose which one to leave.
Maybe these are the wrong places to look but I've looked on wipo.int, icann.org and a few other sites and do not see any updates on the Vanity.com UDRP case since the story broke over a month ago.
Can anyone update on what's going on with it?
There's several businesses using the word vanity and In my opinion the word Vanity is a dictionary word that folks use all the time. If a business decides to put a commonly used dictionary word in their company name then it should be made clear by ICANN that they will be ruled against in a WIPO decision if they attempt to get the actual dictionary word.
Besides the actual meaning, there's even vanity furniture, mirrors, domains and url's. I hope if the case actually has to moves forward that the current owner or controller of Vanity.com wins.
Vanity.com UDRP case since the story broke over a month ago.
totally agree !!

After an incredibly busy couple of months dealing with students' end of courses projects, as well as completing the first shot for my own showreel, I've found the time to work on the next episode of iNuked: my personal project to explore the possibilities of using The Foundry's professional compositing software NUKE, on my MacBook Air.
Escapee Showcase: Alaric Holberton
It's been a while since we featured any escapee work on our blog so I wanted to show you a recent reel which has really impressed us.
CG Whiz 2011 Shortlist is Announced!
The entries for CG Whiz 2011 are in and the judges are now hard at work reviewing this year's crop of talent. We've had over 200 showreels entries, making 2011 the biggest CG Whiz yet!
Check Out the Work of Our Character Animation Students
Character Animation can be a tricky business. The industry is full of talented, creative people who are passionate and dedicated about what they do and this means they often have lengthy careers at the same company they first started out at. So, getting your first break can be tough because when those job opportunities arise, standards are high and so are expectations. Your work really does have to stand out.
Evening Courses have Never Been so Popular
Creative Futures is a study we recently commissioned to uncover what people in the creative industries really think about training. One of the key factors emerging from the report was that many professionals currently in full time employment, were actively seeking new skills to further their career. In these cases online or evening study are the only option.
Motionographer: Inspiration for Your VFX Work
Some of you may already know this, but here is an incredibly useful website called Motionographer which I actually check daily.
It's All About The Showreel
Starting out in VFX can be difficult for junior artists, but the best place to start is your showreel. It needs to be compelling and to demonstrate all the technical skills that you possess.
Escapee Showcase: Roger Serrabassa Vilar
We're very proud of the work we do here at Escape Studios but we probably don't show enough of our students' work. Over the coming months we're going to be featuring much more student work on our website but in the meantime I wanted to start showing some of the reels from our most recent graduates.
Breaking into the VFX industry – Escape Studios Featured on The Guardian's Latest Careers Q&A
You may remember last month that Lee Danskin and Paul Wilkes were featured on The Guardian's careers blog about the film industry. This month, the topic was 'Breaking into the Visual Effects', and as it's our specialist subject we had no less than three spokespeople on the panel this time.
Amazing Showreel from Displace Studios
Here's a link to a fantastic reel from our friends at Displace Studios, they worked with us earlier this year to create some eye popping 3D brand furniture for our new website and other collateral. They did an amazing job for us and I wish them every luck with this new venture.
New Escapee Graduate Showreels Go Live!
We have just updated three of our graduate showreels here.
CG Whiz update
We're eight days into this year's CG Whiz competition, and we've been amazed by the quality and number of entries through the door so far. It's going to be a tough one to judge and to think we've still got three weeks to go to see what talent's out there.
Balloons & Zeppelins: Fresh VFX escapee work
Here's my final post showing some work from the courses which have just finished. These clips are from escapees who were on the Visual Effects Production course taught by Dan Shutt. Again these are 'work in progress' and need a little more polishing but you can see they are both great ideas that have been really well executed.
Tracey Chung: a budding character animation artist
Last week, I promised to share with you some more of the work that our students have presented to us at the end of their courses. This time, I have decided to show you the work of Tracey Chung, who recently completed our Character Animation course taught by Alex Williams.
VFX Professional - New work!
We've just had another round of courses finish and again we've seen some really great work!
Junior Artists - Keep that VFX Shot Simple
A common misconception amongst Junior Artists when preparing their first reel is that they have to come up with some overly elaborate and complex VFX shot to wow future employees. These usually feature exotic spaceships, massive explosions and weapons of mass destruction. It doesn't have to be like that. So, what makes a good CG shot? I had a chat with our Training Development Director and Maya Guru Lee Danskin to find out.
Two showreel tips
Those of you who follow us on Twitter will know that we had our first ever realtime Twitter feedback session on Monday. I am told I should refer to them as Tweetups or Twitter parties, but if truth be told, it was a simple, honest, online showreel clinic! We asked our followers to send us links to their reels, and Lee Danskin, our Training Development Director, provided his usual professional feedback.
Robert Holmes takes time out to talk about his career to date
It's always great to find out how escapees get on after their training and enter the world of work. Last week, we met up with ex-student Robert Holmes out at SIGGRAPH. Since his time at Escape, Rob's gone on to work on some amazing projects at The Mill. He took time to tell us how he got his break and what's needed to be successful in this industry.
CG Graduate Design Awards competition entry date extended to 16th August
Firstly, a big thanks to everyone who has entered our CG Graduate Design Competition Award so far. Entries have been coming thick and fast and as always the standard has been exceptional.
Thanks also for keeping in touch via all our social networks - it really is great to hear from you all and it just reaffirms our belief that the UK and the US have a wealth of talent and will undoubtedly produce many future stars in the CG world.
Competition reminder

Multimedia audiovisual systems are transforming the learning environment in one Florida school district.
THE APOSTOLICO HUSBAND-AND-WIFE TEAM, Maurizio and Saira, share more than marital vows and career interests. They share a belief in the power of projectors to energizea classroom.
VALUE ADDED: Connecting a modern projector to a laptop creates a powerful teaching tool for the whole classroom.
"The technology really does engage the students in every lesson," says Saira, who teaches second grade at the West Gate K-8 School in Florida's St. Lucie County school district. "And when you use a projector, you don't have to turn your back on the class to write on a whiteboard. You actually get to seethe students you're teaching."
"The projector gives us what amounts to a big computer screen at the front of the classroom that everyone shares— much better than crowding around a desktop monitor," says Maurizio, a thirdgrade teacher at West Gate. "While they're watching the screen, I'm watching them. I am better able to see what interests them as I'm teaching. I can see what engages them, and which students I need to focus on. The projector has actually changed the way I teach."
The Apostolicos are two of a growing number of St. Lucie teachers to be wowed by the powers of a modern, multimedia projection system, which by casting images from a teacher-operated laptop—including installed educational programs, DVDs, and website content—turns a single computer into a teaching instrument for the entire class, increases the potential for student interaction, and reduces classroom prep work.
Three years ago, the district launched an initiative to outfit its classrooms with state-of-the-art audiovisual systems. Today, five West Gate classrooms and an extended learning area are equipped with Panasonic classroom audiovisual systems (CAVs) that include a ceilingmounted projector, a document camera, and audio enhancements. Each teacher has a laptop and a microphone, both of which are networked into the system. The Panasonic units also come with software that allows teachers to control a variety of features and functions.
It was a "ground-up" project, says David Jasa, St. Lucie's director of management information systems, and the district decided early not to go at it piecemeal. "You really want to look for an integrated system," he says. "The fact that the components of our system are interconnected—the projectors, the computers, the microphones, the speakers—makes a big difference in the classroom. You don't want to find yourself re-engineering each time you add a component."
With so much to consider, perform a trial run before deciding on a new projection system.
BEFORE COLLABORATING WITH Panasonic to bring the company's projection systems into its classrooms, St. Lucie County Public Schools (FL) reviewed three different projectors in test implementations.
"We learned so much from that," says David Jasa, St. Lucie's director of management information systems. "When we began considering a partnership with Panasonic, we had all that knowledge going into our first round with them. It was invaluable.
"The best advice I can offer is to start with a pilot program before you buy anything on a large scale. Get all the components together in an actual classroom setting, see for yourself how they perform, get input from the teachers, and make sure that you understand how the different components interconnect." To find the right projectors, Jasa advises districts to consider several factors:
LUMENS: A projector's ANSI lumen rating determines the brightness of the image it projects. The bigger the room, the farther the projector has to throw the image, and the more lumens you'll need to have a clear, bright picture. St. Lucie's West Gate K-8 School is using 2,000-lumen models for its 900-square-foot classrooms, Jasa says, and for the school's larger auditorium/cafeteria (called the "auditeria"), the district opted for a 3,000-lumen model.
RESOLUTION: Your choices are SVGA (800 x 600), XGA (1024 x 768), SXGA (1280 x 1024), and UXGA (1600 x 1200). SVGA machines are less expensive than their XGA counterparts. The decision here is subjective. Static presentations, such as you might create with PowerPoint, tend to look fine on SVGA projectors. But if you're planning to project multimedia, the higher resolution will make a big difference. Keep in mind that your projector and the computer running the multimedia software for it should have the same resolution, or the images projected may be distorted.
DAYLIGHT TECHNOLOGY: This feature is almost as important as the lumen rating, Jasa says. It automatically adjusts the brightness of the projected image to the level of sunlight in the classroom, saves energy and increases bulb life, and is essential in classrooms with many windows. Panasonic's Daylight View 2 technology is designed to display intricate, detailed content to students in classrooms that get a lot of sunshine.
LCD VS. DLP: Liquid crystal display (LCD) projectors tend to offer brighter, sharper images, but they're subject to burn-in, and they tend to require lamps that are more powerful. Projectors equipped with digital light processing (DLP) technology, developed by Texas Instruments two decades ago, tend to provide images with deeper blacks and higher contrast than LCDs. Beyond these two technologies is LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon). LCOS promises higher resolution, and may well succeed LCD and DLP as the next major projector technology. Sony's Silicon X-tal Reflective Display is getting attention as well. SXRD promises to deliver the highest definition with the brightest whites and the darkest blacks.
ZOOM FACTOR: The higher the optical zoom, the better. A projector with an optical zoom factor of 1.2 will allow a picture to be adjusted by only 20 percent. A second zoom type, digital zoom, adjusts the image size without moving the projector's lens. Essentially, it allows you to move deeper into the frame without changing the screen size.
DATA PORTS: If you buy an integrated system, this won't be a factor, but if you're buying components separately, you'll want to be sure the projector's data signal ports will connect to the other computers in your system. Check that the machine has the right inputs and outputs for your system, or that adequate adapters are available. Also, if you plan to connect the projector to a VCR or DVD player, look for an S-Video input.
WIRED VS. WIRELESS: Jasa likes wireless control options, but prefers to wire the district's computers to its projection systems. The disadvantages of standard cabling issues are less troublesome than the performance degradation of a wireless connection. "It's a question of bandwidth and reliability," he says. Still, keep your eyes open for wireless innovations. Bluetooth and WiFi technologies, in particular, look promising. The makers of these technologies are likely to offer adapter cards.
PORTABLE VS. FIXED INSTALLATION: St. Lucie opted for fixed-installation projectors as part of an integrated classroom audiovisual system, but a new generation of ultralight projectors is offering comparable power with mobility. The biggest downside here is that these types of projectors are easy to steal, so attention should be paid to securing them with laptop-style locks.
SOFTWARE: The heart of St. Lucie's audiovisual upgrade is the software that runs it. Panasonic's software allows a teacher to easily manage the system's different components. The teacher can sit down at the computer and focus the projector, shift where it's pointing, switch to images from the document camera, adjust the audio input and output, and manage interactions with the web.
An integrated system also provides a richer learning experience for students, says Genelle Yost, assistant superintendent and chair of St. Lucie's Steering Committee for New and Renewed Schools. The combination of a computerconnected projector, a document camera, an audio system, and miked teachers turns the classroom into a multimedia presentation facility. However, the additional technology brings with it the additional challenge of training teachers to take full advantage of it.
When you use a projector, you don't have to turn your back on the class to write on a whiteboard. You actually get to see the students you're teaching. —Saira Apostolico, West Gate K-8 School
"If the students are digital natives, we are the digital immigrants," Yost says. "Technologies the students have been raised with—things they use every day on their home PCs and cell phones—most teachers have come to later in life." But there's more to it than just learning to use the equipment, Yost adds. The greater challenge is helping teachers devise new teaching strategies that integrate the relatively vast resources these multimedia projector systems make available.
Saira Apostolico agrees. She and her husband taught in New Jersey before coming to West Gate, and the change for them was a radical one. "All of a sudden, everything is done on a computer and projected onto a screen," she says. "The district e-mails us different games that we can create and incorporate into the curriculum. We have access to videos from the United Streaming website, which has all the Discovery Education materials. It was a nightand- day kind of shift."
Eventually, Saira and her husband caught on, and it's a transition that more St. Lucie teachers will soon face. West Gate is the third St. Lucie school to receive a major audiovisual upgrade by way of this collaboration with Panasonic, and according to Yost, it won't be the last. "Children today are digital natives," she says. "Our vision is to educate every child every day, to provide them with engaging work on a daily basis. And nothing motivates them like technology."

I am nnenna hannah metu,a mass communication graduate from Nigeria, an Eduation Counsellor and Creative Jewelry Designer ,i am the 3rd in the family of eight,i grew up with my parents,with my mother fending for the family,due to the fact that my father lost his job.
my mother as an african woman was the pillar to me being what i am today,she empowered her self with her resturant business to feed her family.
As a university undergraduate in 2004,i was denied good grade due to sexual demands by my lecturals, (they will say if you dont give us sex,u will not graduate),i went through this humaniliation until i graduated.
The university community in nigeria where i come from, is plague with all manner of sexual assult on student yet the school authority sees and fails to acknowlegde it.So many student are victimised to sale their body to get good grade and yet the society is silent about it.
Women are victimised on daily basics by the minute, sexually assalted,rape,and maltreated,yet nobody sees any thing wrong with it.
i have held to this secret for so long,but with world pulse,i can speak out my pain knowing i have wonderful sisters out their willing and ready to hold my hand and console me with world of encouragement even in my darkess moment, i say this because i have been rape once,but the society i come from will blame you for being raped,you will be victimised instead of being the victim.
As i pour out my heart in 2012,i have pledge to fight for women victimised, rape and assualted.

It is not worth living a life without changing your generation! http://ustre.am/:32EMC
"Impact of a Generation" sermon
It is not worth living a life without changing your generation! http://ustre.am/:32EMC
"Impact of a Generation" sermon
In this final hour, darkness looms over the city. Death and decay are increasingly rampant. Evidently seen by the lack of love and dissatisfaction of love, in a rising number of divorces, adulteress acts, homosexual desire, poverty and an indifferent spirit; all seems but lost.
But there is a generation that is rising for this very hour.
There is a power that is rising, among the sons and daughters of God. There is an authority above all authorities, that is coming to redeem the captive. There is a champion that has long lived before our time, who holds the keys to all our victories!
Though darkness continues to loom over the city, slowly lingering in, is a silent but over-powering light and brightness, which without err sets everything free in its path. This light has always lived, both now and forevermore.
This light is Jesus Christ.
The past 5 years of my life have been a time of questioning the Christian faith and its reality. Through all these times, the Lord answered all my questions. I write about my own faith testimony and realizations in this small book. If you cannot afford the 2.99, message me and I will buy you the copy. Be blessed! http://tinyurl.com/mvvtacd
Our lives are constantly in an experiment with faith. A faithful or faithless lifestyle can be understood through a glass of water. The glass represents our faith. The water represents our hope. First we must understand that there is no other type of faith, but real faith. You can't have a half-hearted belief, otherwise it is not faith. There is real faith and there is dead faith.
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1). Examine two points here, "hope" and "confidence" must go hand-in-hand to create the faith. When a glass is being filled with water it may or may not reach the lid. "Hope" works in the same manner. Though we may not have the confident belief in our hope immediately, we do have that "hope" which we must cultivate and build to reach faith- a confident assurance in what we hope for. As we place our trust and hope in God, the water is being filled. That hope will reach its maturity and create faith in you, or in other words a revelation.
Many things seem impossible to a man, especially when God calls him to a certain work. However, it is the man's responsibility to keep trusting God and placing His hope in Christ, which will lead to a full glass of water creating in him faith! You can also understand this by relating "revelation" to it. For example, a revelation must occur for a healing to take place. This is not always the case when one is receiving prayer, but I find it is very much critical. One may to an extent receive a healing and etc. but to stay in divine health and procreate a lifestyle of spirit-living, the individual must live in revelation.
A full cup represents mature faith. God builds mature faith in us. If our faith is not full in that which we ask, we should not hope to receive it. "Let him who asks, believe and have no doubt" (James 1:6).
In the same manner, faith operates. You see, faith is only faith when it is "without wavering." Faith without works is obsolete (James 2:17). It is in operable until it reaches the "lid."
For those who haven't grasped the concept yet- the lid represents the tipping point of your faith. It represents 'proven trust' in God. It is at the tipping point that proves you are still relying on God. Many ask God for certain miracles and works in their lives, but if they ask today, believe for tomorrow, but lose hope after that- how successful can that faith be?
There are many elements to understand here. The fundamentals are as follows:
#1 Without faith it is impossible to please God
#2 He who believes must believe and not doubt
#3 Faith allows God to move
a) We have a free will
b) Believing is trusting
c) Trust invites God in
If we believe for God to act or carry out His work in our lifetimes, dare to believe how critical your personal faith is. We can assume God will do what He must regardless but I just don't believe Jesus spoke in vain when He said:
And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief. (Matthew 13:58)
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt. (James 1:6)
Anyone who comes to God must believe that He exists and rewards those who earnestly seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6).
Faith also expedites events. Believing for a loved one to change? Are you praying for them- casting down strongholds that hold power over them? Are you blessing them and proclaiming the authority of Christ over them? My friends we must pray and believe without wavering that He who holds the power is just and able to do all that we ask in His name. And He does not wish for any to perish (2 Peter 3:9).
Pray my friends, pray! He is on His throne and is able to do exceedingly more than you can think or ask (Ephesians 3:20). I have heard too many stories and testimonies of God's power when people stood in faith.
Andrew Wommack was interceding for it to rain in a season of drought. It wasn't until he aggressively took it upon himself to pray and intercede for the rain that something began to happen. For three days, during his prayer, the clouds would come, darken and thunder, but it would not rain. Not even a drizzle. Wommack recalled how he began to feel the Holy Spirit empowering Him through the prayer. On the third day, the clouds came in again, brewing and thundering, and all of a sudden, it began to rain. It rained steadily for three whole days, and did not cause any downpours. God is good! Not only does He come on time, but in the best fashion possible!
Wommack stated that because He began to pray and believe for it, the rain would have surely come, but it might have come days or weeks later, but the crop needed the rain within days or it would spoil. Faith has a tipping point.
Michael Walker from The Q997 radio station recalled how they stood believing for their pledge drive goal. Several days passed and they were still only halfway with a day or so left. The staff stood believing, encouraging one another, not allowing doubt to creep in. It was fascinating to hear that, because most of us would rather let our guard down, because faith makes you vulnerable, you set yourself up for an expectation you yourself cannot meet. Therefore, you need God to come through. That's the definition of faith.
As the Q997 team stood in faith with a day or so left, they collected, I believe, more than they did in the past 2 or 3 days. I'm telling you… when God moves… He moves. It's almost a funny illustration, but I believe it drives a point. I can imagine God watching as His faithful ones stand in the gap believing and God begins to look down and realize there are no human resources for the timing needed. He sees His children have believed Him to the end, reaching the tipping point, and according to His word, He promised faith would have its reward. Therefore, God nudges His heavenly resources over His throne to fall from heaven to earth to meet His children's request!
We must realize, it is humanly impossible for certain events to take place or certain events to occur. The more we experience those positions of need, the more we can see God work in our lives. Dare to believe!
What does all of this mean for us today? Let's go back to the glass of water analogy. The water represents 'hope' and 'trust' in God. Though you are not able to believe in something God said or is saying or for something you are asking, you can make a decision to 'hope' in Him. It is that decision to trust God will reveal and work in your life.
Only a revelation can give you a 'faith' that does not waver. A revelation is reflection of your spirit man. It gives you the ability to believe in the impossibilities of God. It is a spiritual work and nothing of your doing.
For example, let's take our ability to believe that God loves us. How do we attain a position where we are fully convinced God loves us? We can say we believe, but if you actually believed, 99% of your day would be overwhelmed with peace and joy. But how much joy and peace do we experience in our daily lives oppose to anxiety and worry? Can you imagine the change in an individual who constantly meditates on the love of God- coming to a point where he has no doubt that an almighty God of great impossibilities loves him. It will change his entire perspective and Christ promised nothing short of that.
So today, do you want to attain that position of power and be fully convinced God loves you? First we must understand that we do not control revelation. So you must realize right now that you cannot give yourself a revelation of God's love. Only the Holy Spirit can do that. But what you must do is place your hope and trust in God to reveal it to you. That is your responsibility!
Let go of that pressure to try and believe Biblical truths. Fear not, "I have overcome the world " (John 16:33). Who has overcome? Christ. Not you. So then, it is Christ who will reveal it to you. Christ is the One with the victory. All you have to do is "hope in Him."
As you keep placing that hope in Him, you are filling a glass of water. When the water reaches the lid, you will receive a revelation of what you are hoping and trusting for. For example, you believe God can heal you of your disease, but why aren't you getting healed? It is because you don't fully believe it yet. Your job is to keep placing your hope in Christ as your deliverer. By doing this, you are trusting in what God has said regarding your wellness. And as you continue in this hope, you will come to a realization of the truth. It is in a sense fighting through the soulish man. It is a process of renewing your mind to the Word of God and as you do that, revelation is sure to come.
There is no minimum or maximum time length that you must put in for something to occur because once faith reaches the tipping point it can't go anywhere else but over. God moves based on your belief in Him. Belief in Him- faith- is only truly faith when it does not doubt.
When you receive a revelation, you receive faith, and faith moves mountains. Thus, you have reached the tipping point. Stand back and watch as God works.
One lesson I can never forget, "Silence is the greatest carrier of God's presence." It is in silence that man finds God. Undisturbed silence is the catalyst to an undisturbed relationship with Him. There is nothing like silence that says, "You alone God." Countless scriptural references can be pointed to the act of silence as a time of prayer and meditation before God.
Why is silence so important? Silence strips us of all self-indulgence, self-righteousness, and self-promotion. There is no hypocrisy or double-mindedness in silence. Silence brings everything but you into the scene. It demotes self-proclamation and self-promotion. It leaves no room for hypocrisy, because silence is no friend of noise. Silence shuns the faint of heart, the ill-willed and the passive spirit.
Silence is an agent and friend of presence. The ultimate presence it acknowledges is the one that always is and always was. Because even in silence, God remains. Silence shuns us out, but invites God in. Silence has always been God's platform. Where else is God given complete free-will control?
We must return to undisturbed silence, a time in prayer, where we remain silent, unmoved by what surrounds us or what captivates us. Undisturbed silence honors God. In this we must continue for some time, because amongst the time that we do not sense His presence, yet remain silent, we are giving him a real honor, respecting His presence, His timeliness and His faithfulness to us, regardless of what we feel, think or see. This is true faith.
Today… if you are facing a giant that has been in your land for some time … there is a new hope. This is the hope of tenacity. Tenacity is the quality or fact of being able to grip something firmly (Google.com). Tenacity is the ability to keep fighting, but purposeful fighting that has the hope of victory. Tenacity alone is not enough. In Christianity, the battles we face within our souls are determined by our tenacious spirit. All that's within you, as a born-again believer, is already victorious, but our fallen souls must be redeemed by our saved spirits. We do not go into battle without victory leading us. We cannot face a giant that is stronger than us. Nor do we go of our own will and strength. The victory has been determined on the cross, what you do with it, remains to be your victory.
To put it into perspective, there are habits and old experiences that continue to haunt us. They determine how we live today. They continue to dictate our perspectives and feelings. Christ came not only to set the spirit free, but the soul and body with it. Today, there is no excuse for our behavior, attitudes, and feelings. We were not bought with cheap coin, but with the blood of the one and only holy Man. He has determined your thoughts and actions to be set free from all bondage and if you are not, well then, Calvary hasn't fully taken place in your heart yet.
A tenacious spirit doesn't come easily, but it starts with a choice. A choice to be victorious, a choice to be patient, a choice to be content, a choice to endure, a choice to have hope. The question today is how are you dealing with the giants in your land? Are you overcoming in the heat of the battle? Or is your foe continuing to be triumphant over you?
When the heat of the battle comes, you may not be ready for it, but it is here that your giant falls. When you feel the pressure of everything around you closing in, it is here where the fighting gets tough. It remains tough until you begin to welcome the pressure not as a foe, but as an agent of victory. In this heat, you will begin squirming, looking for a way out, to past sins, to past relationships, to past thought patterns, to past hobbies. You become very uncomfortable, seeking relief, something to satisfy your soul.
This is where giants are slayed. If you persevere and make a determined step towards your victory, you will be victorious. There is only success for the one who makes the right step. As all things in Christianity, they do not seem appetizing at first, but when you produce that fruit, all things have never been better. For instance, patience is a fruit of the spirit. For most of us, patience is a hard word, an unwelcoming aroma, and therefore very few attain that fruit, unwilling to produce it. Little do we realize, if we persevere towards it, patience is a luscious fruit, that produces a quality of life like no other. If nothing else convinces you to become a patient person, take this illustration home with you. Imagine that patience is an apple. You attitude towards patience determines the quality of the apple. To this point, some of you have been eating a rotten apple, while others have been eating a tasteless apple. But how many of you would like to eat the luscious tasty apple? Well then, I illustrate the quality of life to this apple. Our quality of life is determined by the fruits of our spirit, and whether they are produced within us or not. Remember, your spirit has got it (if born-again) but your soul has yet to attain it. What are you appetizing your soul with today? Learn to be patient, allow the Spirit to work it within you, so that your quality of life may change for the better.
Therefore, the same happens in the heat of the battle. We suppose that it is too hard and not worth fighting, but the matter of fact is that we just don't realize how much greener the grass is on the other side. Accept the pressure you are facing today, determine your victory, and you shall come out as a dazzling diamond, pleasing to both God and men.
God is a healer. He is interested in our freedom. Don't ever dare to believe otherwise. If freedom is a product of the Lord's presence, "Where the Spirit of the Lord, there is freedom" (2 Corinth. 3:17), then how can we expect anything but freedom?
Before we can walk in freedom, we must believe it is God's will. As we recognize that His will is indeed to prosper us "that it may be well with our souls" (3 John 1:2), we can then start walking into it. But trust me and the Word of God on this fact: Without faith, you will attain nothing from the Kingdom of God. Furthermore, it is absolutely essential to believe in WHO God is before you can reap His rewards and blessings (Hebrews 11:6).
The step to our freedom begins with uprooting 'once conscious' thoughts out of our subconscious. This is done by "repenting and rebuking" of old wounds. We must confess old thoughts, patterns of thinking and decisions that were made. In the Secret Place, out of your heart, and unto the Lord, you must acknowledge anything that doesn't line up with the Person of Jesus Christ.
Sounds a lot like confession? Yes, but entirely not what you think. Repentance is releasing ownership of what never belonged to you. Through the process of "repenting and rebuking," we are releasing "things" that don't belong to our spirit man, things that hold us captive and in bondage, until we release them. Let me illustrate this further: Does a certain situation trouble you? Are you instantly offended even at the thought of someone you know? Are you afraid of public speaking? Do you cringe when someone asks you to pay for their meal? Is there someone you don't want to be seen with?
More than likely, you have several of these situations if not a whole fold. Here's the problem: men and women are living in bondage but there is freedom if we can access our souls through the Spirit of God. This pertains more to Christians, because if you are not a born-again believer, you have no legal authority over any spiritual foe and the last thing you need to worry about is a character flaw, because you have a much greater underlying problem- your spirit in its entirety is dead and if not "born-again" by the Spirit of God, has no authority to take on any "soul" matter.
Christians, on the other hand, continue to live in bondage as well, because they do not take captive what doesn't belong to them, but they hold it to themselves and try to live in freedom and victory. We can't live in freedom if we aren't letting go of "sin." In this case, sin is not necessarily sexual immorality or theft. Sin is accepting the dead mentality over the Spirit mentality. The Spirit mentality is believing in the full finished work of Jesus Christ, found in the atonement. Not only do you gain relationship with God, but divine healing and restoration of your soul, "through the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2). Therefore, if you aren't releasing the old mentality, you are accepting it.
It is important to realize that on our own we cannot search out and release old habits, thoughts and strongholds. The human soul is unsearchable, but the Spirit of God knows everything about you and He will bring to your remembrance those "things" you must release. He stands with us, as we release those "things" that don't belong to us. He stands today saying, "Child, release that thing, that I may heal it, cover it and restore YOUR freedom once and forevermore"!
When we "repent" of a certain event or situation that once happened, we are renouncing the authority over that "thing." For example, let's say that back in grade school, the class was making public presentations, but deep in your heart and mind, you didn't believe in yourself and focused on how annoying your voice sounds or your accent. AT THAT POINT, you sowed a seed into your heart, a corrupt seed that doesn't have any place in the Kingdom of God. This seed will create a hole in your heart that will forever keep you in bondage in some fashion or another to public speaking. As time passes, you affirm that decision, rationalizing that you really dislike public speaking, "just because," but all you are doing is binding yourself more and more to your master- fear. You are locking yourself away further and further into an isolated dungeon. It is exactly where the devil wants to keep you, stripping you of your authority.
I repeat, this is not the Lord's plan or way. "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom"! Rather we must have a continual release and flush of anything contrary to the Word and Person of Jesus Christ! In the depth of your heart, in your prayers, confess, repent and rebuke those "authorities" you've allowed in your life through circumstances, situations, and relationships. As you release that corrupt seed, the Holy Spirit immediately patches the wound and heals you, closing the door to that weakness and "authority" *forever. Did I say forever? As long as you hold fast to your confession, you will remain free (Hebrews 10:23), because He, the Lord, holds the keys to Hell and Hades and has defeated every spiritual foe, to whom the Father has submitted every authority and principality. You need not worry about His authorization. It has been given to Him from the Father of lights, in whom there is no darkness or shadow of turning (James 1:17).
He brings us to a place of repentance to restore our freedom. Will freedom cost us everything? Yes. Everything that doesn't belong to you as a child of God.
