"God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen." 1 Peter 4:10-11 (NLT)
God placed each of us here at this time with a specific purpose. Know that before you were born, before the earth was with form He knew you! Each of us has a part in His plan. Be excited! Pray for one another to not hold back on the gifts He has given. That all we do glorifies God and shows others Jesus in us. Pray that spiritual ears are open to the guiding of the Holy Spirit. Everything we do needs to start with and end in praise to our Father, let the world see that in each of us.
Love and Blessings!
“Then, after doing all those things,
I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your old men will dream dreams,
and your young men will see visions" Joel 2:28
Have you really listened to the children/youth around you? They are filled with dreams and vision. Pray for them to remain strong/positive in those dreams/vision's God has given them. Pray with them! Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you on speaking with the young ones you come in contact with, to build them up, to help them with understanding and the steps to make things happen.
“Write my answer plainly on tablets,
so that a runner can carry the correct message to others.
This vision is for a future time.
It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled.
If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently,
for it will surely take place.
It will not be delayed" Habakkuk 2:2-3
Love and Blessings!
"Till I come, devote yourself to [public and private] reading, to exhortation (preaching and personal appeals), and to teaching and instilling doctrine. Do not neglect the gift which is in you, [that special inward endowment] which was directly imparted to you [by the Holy Spirit] by prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands upon you [at your ordination]. Practice and cultivate and meditate upon these duties; throw yourself wholly into them [as your ministry], so that your progress may be evident to everybody. Look well to yourself [to your own personality] and to [your] teaching; persevere in these things [hold to them], for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you. "(1 Timothy 4:13-16 AMP)
Stay built up individually and as a body. Read the Word, pray in the spirit for yourself, your family, church family, and Pastors! Listen, we were not chosen to just blow around in the wind but given the anchor of the Word, and a guide that cannot get lost, the Holy Spirit.
Love And Blessings!!
These to simple, two word statements are what the Lord has dropped in my spirit for 2015. Without a doubt this new year is filled with promise and expectation but to receive that promise it's up to me to rise up and grab hold of it. Even the children of Israel with the promise of freedom had to first take a step in the waters of the Red Sea before they saw the parting of the waters and the pathway through made clear for them. Once that first step is made bonds are broken and freedom becomes reality.
Love and Blessings to all may 2015 be the year you Rise up and Break free!
