FINAL DAY #21 Canceling Complacency - February 21-Day Firm Foundation Devotional: “Principles of Empowerment”

Friday, February 28, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments




FINAL DAY #21:  Canceling Complacency

Romans 13:11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
  
One of the great dangers for Christians is complacency. Complacency is defined as: “A feeling of contentment or self-satisfaction, especially when coupled with an unawareness of a need.” 
Paul offers a powerful parallel using the word “sleep.” When we sleep we are unaware of our surroundings, oblivious to others, and unable to respond. 

Christians do not want to be “asleep in the light,” but alert and ready to serve God. While Christians do not have darkness inside of them, we do not want to operate in darkness by failing to work with Christ or letting God have His way. Sometimes the works of darkness we need to cast off are simple distractions to living in God’s light. Simple things like watching a lot of television, engaging in a lot of leisure, or even constantly interacting on Facebook can put us to sleep spiritually. None of these activities are wrong, but anything can become darkness when we fail to see the light of what God wants us to do.

The “armor of light” is a beautiful phrase putting us in the mind of being clothed with the power and grace of God. We are all wearing armor that both protects and empowers us.

Day #20 Basic Instructions - February 21-Day Firm Foundation Devotional: “Principles of Empowerment”

Thursday, February 27, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments




DAY #20:  Basic Instructions

Romans 12:9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

When the Spirit of Christ abides in you, God’s grace shapes your lifestyle. When the Bible provides direct instructions on how to live, understand that everything God requires, He has already provided. We are recognized by our faith and lifestyle. As Jesus said, “A tree is known by its fruit” (Luke 6:44) and we are the “planting of the Lord.” (Isaiah 61:3)

God does not ask you to do anything that is not already part of your character in Christ. If this were not true, you would not be able to do what He asks. For example, in our own strength, it is not possible to be “kindly affectionate with brotherly love.” This is a virtue, like all the others, that comes from the grace of God within us.

You can always do what God says you can do!

Day #19 How to Think About Yourself - Principles of Empowerment February Devotional - Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute #159 for February 26, 2025

Wednesday, February 26, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments




DAY #19:  How to Think About Yourself

Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. 4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function.   


We are never in a position where we need to be conceited, brag, or try to “show off” to impress others. You are already exactly the person that God had in mind!
 
In a world where people are confused about their identity and sometimes seek to assume the identity of others such as celebrities, we have the opportunity to discover our unique “measure of faith.” Your measure of faith is the abilities, assignments, and opportunities God has made available to you. God has given everything you need to serve Him.
 
One of the great blessings of serving God is summed up in the phrase, “where God guides He provides.” It is truly amazing how God can provide faith and provision for everything He wants you to do. It is also amazing that our individual gifting results in stronger coordination and collaboration as the body of Christ. We are a team and a family, each having individual responsibility resulting in the fulfillment of greater collective purpose.

REFLECTION QUESTION: What is your measure of faith?

Day #18 Quiet On The Set | Lesson by Min. Corey Jones, M.Div. - February 21-Day Firm Foundation Devotional: “Principles of Empowerment”

Tuesday, February 25, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments




DAY #18:  Quiet on the Set
Lesson by Min. Corey Jones, M.Div.

1 John 3:17-19 NKJV, But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we [a]know that we are of the truth, and shall [b]assure our hearts before Him.

One of my favorite movie genres is action films. While I’ve never been part of a production team, the videographer in me enjoys fast-moving shots, high-speed drone footage, and the sound design that heightens the intensity of the plot. But before any scene is recorded, someone always calls out: “Quiet on the set!”

Life can feel just like an action film—full of twists, turns, acceleration, and unexpected plot changes. As we walk in Christ and strive to “love in deed and truth” (1 John 3:18), I want to encourage you to take a moment and say, “Quiet on the set!”  

Solitude is a powerful tool in our spiritual journey. In the midst of life's noise, we can silence notifications, turn off the music, pause the news, and spend intentional time with our Lord and Savior. Since love is truly the ultimate action word, let’s carve out moments of stillness, allowing God to put His love into action in our lives.  

Take time today to be still and let His love move through you.

Reflection Question: 
What keeps me from spending quiet time with the Lord?

Prayer: 
God I’m on borrowed time, help me to see the importance of saying quiet on the set. Bless my alone time with you. Give me wisdom and discernment to make adjustments to my schedule to be available to soak in your presence.  In Jesus name, Amen."

Day #17 Be a Living Sacrifice - February 21-Day Firm Foundation Devotional: “Principles of Empowerment”

Monday, February 24, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments



DAY #17:  Be a Living Sacrifice

WATCH

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.  

In this text, the apostle Paul, under inspiration of the Holy Spirit, summarized our blessing and responsibility in the Lord. 

In the Old Testament, animals were offered for sacrifice. They were sometimes tied down to the altar before being slaughtered. The death of the animals was a result of the sin of the people. It was the penalty of sin transferred to animals, and it had to be repeated many times because people continued sinning.

This is what Jesus did for us, with the important difference that His solution was not temporary, but permanent. 

Today, because of Jesus, we don’t offer sacrifices of animals. We can offer the living sacrifice of our lives in service to God. 

In the summer of 2024, the Olympic games were held in Paris, France We saw athletes who worked and trained the previous four years, and longer, just for the opportunity to offer their abilities as a living sacrifice in the international arena of the Olympic games. That training required “not being conformed to the world” in order to be prepared to compete. Depending upon the sport, the athlete had to change his thinking, his diet, and his lifestyle to develop his skills to the highest possible level. 

Christians have a similar task within a much different context. All of our work is done through the empowering grace of God. Make no mistake, we have responsibility to follow God. Obedience and willingness to follow God results in becoming God’s “athletes” who can do great things in our world!

REFLECTION QUESTION: What does it mean to be a living sacrifice?

Day #16 Know that God Knows All - February 21-Day Firm Foundation Devotional: “Principles of Empowerment”

Sunday, February 23, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments



DAY #16:  Know that God Knows All

Romans 11:34, “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has become His counselor?” 35 “Or who has first given to Him And it shall be repaid to him?” 36 For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen. 

I am amazed and amused at how some people seem to convey a greater understanding of God than all others. It is certainly true that we can learn of the Lord and share His word with others, but no one person knows everything. No one helps God! No one knows the mind of God, just like no one can know your mind.

The entirety of Romans 11 addresses many profound topics such as God’s dealings with His chosen people Israel and the mystery of how He has “grafted in” Gentiles (non-Jews). The chapter is dense with theological truth and doctrine. At the end of the chapter, Paul concludes by writing the following: “For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.” (v. 36)

In our lives, it is appropriate to think, ponder, and seek to understand God’s words and God’s ways. But there comes a time when we reach an end of our thinking and understanding. At that time, the best thing we can do is trust God and worship Him as the one who knows all things!


REFLECTION QUESTION: What should you do when you come to the end of your understanding?

Day #15 Genuine Faith - February 21-Day Firm Foundation Devotional: “Principles of Empowerment”

Saturday, February 22, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments



DAY #15:  Genuine Faith

Romans 10:6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “’Who will descend into the abyss?’”(that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):   

Genuine faith in God requires neither “signs” nor our “help” to fulfill God’s word. We don’t need Jesus to come down from heaven. We don’t need to go to heaven to see Him. If He were still in the grave, we would not have to go to that place to bring Him up. God’s Word and promises have their own power.

Genuine faith does not demand external evidence. The beauty and simplicity of the faith is that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again to make it possible for us to receive from God by believing and speaking.

Religion demands that people do something to prove their earnestness to God. Cults only require allegiance to a person. 

For the person who wants new life in Christ, he only needs to receive what Jesus has already provided. Not only has God provided salvation, He has provided the “measure of faith” to receive it. For the person coming to faith in Christ and for believers who already serve Christ, the word of faith is in your mouth and heart. 

This is not some magical formula, it is not a particular Christian movement, it is simply the way that we access the grace of God. Ephesians 2:8 says “we are saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God not of works lest anyone should boast.” 
Something that is provided by the grace of God can only be received by faith...and that faith begins with believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth. God does the rest!

Day #14 All Things Work Together for Good - February 21-Day Firm Foundation Devotional: “Principles of Empowerment”

Friday, February 21, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments



DAY #14:  All Things Work Together for Good

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. 

Romans 8:28 is one of the most abused scriptures in the Bible. Too often it is used as a catchall or a cliche, something for which God’s word was never intended. God is certainly merciful towards us, but if I write a bad check and pass it on nothing good will come of it! As a matter-of-fact, it could result in a criminal prosecution. This is not the proper application of Romans 8:28.

This text was not intended to cover our mistakes. This text, and all of God’s word, was given to encourage and teach us. The main focus of the text is not “all things work together for good” but  “those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” and “be conformed to the image of His Son.” 

God’s purpose is the foundation of your purpose. God is deeply concerned about the circumstances of your life, but He frames your life in the larger context of His purpose. First you are predestined, which means that before you were born God had a plan for you. Second, you are called, which means He gives you the opportunity to follow Him through Christ. Third, you are justified which means He makes you righteous through the redemptive gift of the Lord Jesus Christ. Fourth, you are glorified meaning that you enter into the purposes for which you were born.

REFLECTION QUESTION: What are the two qualifications to fulfill the promise of having “all things work together for good?”

Day #13 Praying with the Help of the Holy Spirit - February 21-Day Firm Foundation Devotional: “Principles of Empowerment”

Thursday, February 20, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments



DAY #13:  Praying with the Help of the Holy Spirit

WATCH

Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 

If I asked you to pray for your family, you would be able to do that without much difficulty. If I asked you to pray for churches in Eldoret, Kenya, you would have difficulty praying specifically for those churches. You don’t know the people of those churches in that small town in East Africa. You may have never heard of that city before. Here is the benefit of praying with and through the Holy Spirit: God knows all about the people of Eldoret, Kenya, as well as everyone and everything else in this world.  This is a place to which I've traveled on three occasions for mission trips.

Our great weakness is not knowing. How can you pray for what you do not know? As the Scripture says, “the Spirit makes intercession for us.” It also says that the “Spirit makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” When you pray with and through the Holy Spirit you’re able to have impact in ways you could never do praying with your understanding. 

For many believers, praying with the Holy Spirit also means praying in tongues (“...groanings which cannot be uttered”). This heavenly language is often misunderstood, but it is most certainly biblical (1 Cor. 14:14-15; Jude 1:20; et. al.). There are times when you cannot form the words in your mind to pray. Praying “with your understanding” is sometimes not effective. The Holy Spirit helps you to pray “as you ought.” When He is praying through you, it does not always sound like your native language.  Sometimes there are actual groanings.

Intercessory prayer can only happen with the help of the Holy Spirit. He is the Senior Partner in that arrangement.

REFLECTION QUESTION: What are 1-2 ways you can allow the Holy Spirit to help you pray?

Day #12 From Suffering to Glory Revealed - Principles of Empowerment February Devotional - Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute #158 for February 19, 2025

Tuesday, February 18, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments



DAY #12:  From Suffering to Glory Revealed

Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 


It is very important to have proper perspective in life. How we perceive our life can determine our reality and influence our circumstances. The Apostle Paul endured a lot of suffering–much more than most of us will endure in a lifetime. Suffering and difficulties have a way of reshaping our thinking and putting us into a negative mindset, if we allow it. That’s the danger of suffering, not only what we’re going through (which will pass!) but the false sense that the suffering is defining our life.

Paul states that the sufferings of the present time cannot be compared to the glory that shall be revealed in us. 

Here is the key: Focus on what God is revealing...not on the suffering!

I’ve come to understand that the revealing of that glory is not only later in heaven, but a lot of that glory happens now while we are yet on earth.  That glory is not some "glory cloud" or other temporary manifestation. God’s glory is His purpose and presence revealed in and through your life.

God has the unique ability to turn “ashes into beauty.” He will transform our darkness to light.

REFLECTION QUESTION: What glory is being revealed in you?

Day #11 Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ - February 21-Day Firm Foundation Devotional: “Principles of Empowerment”

Monday, February 17, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments



DAY #11:  Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 

It is important to remember that as a Christian, you operate under a different set of laws and principles. When I travel to places like Africa or England, I am reminded every moment of every day that I am in a foreign country. I recognize and operate according to the laws of the host country, such as driving on the left side of the road in England. 

In your life in Christ, you have the opportunity to live by something called “the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ.” This is exactly what it sounds like. It is most certainly as good as it sounds! It is the Holy Spirit, it is God’s life in Christ, and it is powerful!  After more than 38 years of living a Christian life, I’m still discovering the benefits of the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ in every part of my life and ministry. It is something better experienced than explained.

Christians have been delivered from the law of sin and death. This is as bad as it sounds. It is the cycle of defeat that we left behind when coming to Christ. Today, we want to introduce others to Jesus and to the many benefits of the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ. 

REFLECTION QUESTION: What is the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ?

Day #10 How to Do What You Should Do - February 21-Day Firm Foundation Devotional: “Principles of Empowerment”

Sunday, February 16, 2025 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments



DAY #10:  How to Do What You Should Do 

Romans 7:15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do...21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. 

This is an amazing and frank discussion of a conflict that we all deal with sometimes. Paul described in vivid detail a dilemma that we all face. What do you do when you feel pressured to do something wrong, or you’re not doing what you should? Paul said that there was a “law” (or principle) that when you want to do good evil is present.  

We live both in the physical world and in the spiritual world. Through our physical senses we are aware of our physical world, and sometimes tempted by things in the world. However, many believers are less aware of their advantages in the world of the Spirit of God. Prayer, God’s presence, and His Word make us aware of the benefits available to us. 

People who are intent on serving God quickly discover that there is resistance to doing God’s will. It’s kind of like a football game in which the person who carries football will find eleven men trying to take him down! 

When Paul uses the term “body of death” or “flesh,” he’s talking about that part of our human nature that does not cooperate with God. No one is entirely spiritual...we are not in heaven yet! Everybody has to contend with his/her “flesh” but that does not mean that we have to fall or fail. The good news is that the more you serve God the weaker the flesh becomes. 
In our spiritual walk, the devil does not have actual power over us. He is a master of distraction and deception. Paul talked about a principle “warring in his members,” referring to his body and its passions. Temptation is obviously real...you can feel it! 

So how did Paul resolve his dilemma? Here’s how he did it and how you can do it: Paul recognized that it was useless to try to force his flesh to serve God (remember, we don’t have to “fight” in that manner). He decided that with his mind and soul he would serve the law (Word) of God. It’s sort of like deciding there are people you are not going to listen to, and there are people you are going to listen to. It’s also like deciding to travel down one road, and not down the other road. We cannot do two things at once. When you decide to serve God, there won’t be time for lesser things.

“I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.” (verse 25)

REFLECTION QUESTION: How did Paul come to victory? How will you do the same?
