"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!
Remember we are called to be different! From the moment we accepted Christ as Saviour our DNA was changed. No longer do we have to bow down to that old man but wake up to life as the new man, the fullness that God envisioned when He created Adam.
"So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn't know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:13-16 (NLT)
Love and Blessings!
Prayer is powerful! Being filled with faith in God and of God all things are possible.When we first let go of pride and forgive no "but's" about it let go of the past and move into all the Father has waiting for you!
"Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you've received it, it will be yours. But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.”
Mark 11:22-25 (NLT)
Love and Blessings!!
It is not the government of America that will save it. Not a man in governmental office who will change America's path. As Americans we do not receive our safety from armies of men. One thing will save and protect this land, the hand of God. We as Christians have arrived at a time to put our faith in action, it's time to pray in one accord.
"if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)
He wants to forgive our sins, heal our land. Nineveh was a place so bad Jonah didn't want it or it's people forgiven, but God did! The people turned to God and prayed from the highest to the lowest. It would have only taken 10 righteous for Sodom to have been spared! What does that have to do with America? God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow when we grab hold of that in our "knowers" and put our faith into prayer for our country change can not help but happen! Think about it, we have more than ten right here praying and we are not alone. All across this nation Christians are praying alone, with their families, small groups, and large groups via internet and phone. Know you are here for this time for a purpose. We are blessed to live in this country at this time, thank God for it.
Love and Blessings!
