FAMILY SHIFT! “…Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.” Mathew 12:25 NKJ • THE DEEP ISSUES WITHIN THE FAMILY ARE ACTUALLY OUR ISSUES WITH GOD! They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.” Isaiah 2:4 NKJ 1. START THE SHIFT BY RETURNING TO THE LORD. “The Lord has been very angry with your fathers. Therefore, say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Return to Me,” says the Lord of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 1:2-3 NKJ • Family Prayer • Family Devotions • Family Church Service 2. SHIFT BY RETURNING TO ONE ANOTHER. “Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man separate.” Mark 10:9 NKJ “Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.” Colossians 3:21 NKJ • Forgive And Move Forward • See Life Through The Eyes Of Your Children • Leave Room For Choices And Godly Correction • Family Entertainment 3. SHIFT FROM FAMILY HISTORY TO FAMILY LEGACY. “And Reuben answered them, saying, “Did I not speak to you, saying, ‘Do not sin against the boy’; and you would not listen? Therefore behold, his blood is now required of us.” But they did not know that Joseph understood them, for he spoke to them through an interpreter. And he turned himself away from them and wept. Then he returned to them again, and talked with them.” Genesis 42:22-24 NKJ
