Alignment (Instead of Looking for Something New, Re-order What’s Already True) (#008)

You (already) have everything you need to live the life God designed; the key isn’t to find something “more” but to first set the things you already possess in order.

In other words, you can stop seeking and striving or the things God has already supplied tp you…

The first sets the tone for the rest

The power of “firsts” empowers us to align our lives with God’s Kingdom.

We all understand the power of “firsts,” in general.

We regularly highlight “firsts.” Stores often frame the first dollar they receive. Even though many other dollars come into the store, the first is special.

We remember the men who flew the first airplane (The Wright Brothers), but we probably don’t know the second.

Everyone knows who the first President of the United States was (George Washington), even though most can’t name the second (Thomas Jefferson) or the third (John Adams).

Many people can name the man who first set foot on the moon (Neil Armstrong) but can’t name the man in the Eagle with him, who happened to be the second man on the moon (Buzz Aldrin).

As Chuck Pierce writes, “We can all remember our first car, our first date, and our first kiss. The first is special!”

It’s true Biblically, too…

The Scripture reminds us of this same concept— the first matters.

Romans 11:16 tell us, “For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches” (NKJV).

The first sets the tone for the rest.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus clearly tells us to prioritize— that is, to “first”— the Kingdom.

He says, “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33).

Furthermore, He offers a follow-up promise that if we do this that “all these things will be added to you…”

Re-order what you have...

In the Transformation book, step 2 is "alignment." When we arrive at step 2, we don't look to attain something outside ourselves. Rather, we look to re-order what we already possess...

And we do so by tapping into the two areas that create the most stress, yet have the greatest potential to see superntural breakthrough-- time and money.
