Week of 1/13/2025 Encouragement

1/13/2025

God’s love edifies and encourages you and others to grow in the wisdom and image of God. Knowledge without love causes pride, and God resists the proud. Love causes us to recognize and understand God’s Word, through intimate fellowship with God. The more we grow passionately in love with God, the more of His Knowledge we walk in. We are not here to try to get everyone to agree with our opinions. We are here to agree with God’s opinion, and point others to God’s ways. We stay balanced in this, the more we let God’s truth flow through love. We share God’s truth, then we let Holy Spirit do the convincing. “If anyone imagines that he has come to know and understand much [of divine things, without love], he does not yet perceive and recognize and understand as strongly and clearly, nor has he become as intimately acquainted with anything as he ought or as is necessary.” 1 Corinthians 8:2 AMPC Thank You Lord for Your love, that keeps us intimately aware and familiar with Your Truth. Thank You for walking us through the training process, of daily living out Your truth in love. Blessings, as God’s love securely wraps you in His truth. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

The race we are in takes discipline. Daily, we must choose to follow God’s Ways. It’s not always the most popular thing. Others may look at us like we’re crazy, but we are here to please God, not man. We want to live God’s principles, so others will see our example and turn to Christ. We know that doers of God’s Word see the victorious results. We don’t want to tell others about God’s ways, then miss out, because we don’t discipline ourselves to make them ours by reason of use. God’s promises are yes and amen to us, but we must discipline ourselves to believe His promises, above every lie and symptom the enemy sends. God’s Word defeats every attack the enemy uses. “A true athlete will be disciplined in every respect, practicing constant self-control in order to win a laurel wreath that quickly withers. But we run our race to win a victor’s crown that will last forever.” 1 Corinthians 9:25 TPT Thank You Holy Spirit, for Your training and discipline, strengthening us to stand in the Truth of God’s Word. Thank You for building our faith, through God’s promises. Blessings, as you embrace God’s truth, that enables you to be victorious. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

Although we live in a fallen world, the truth is, we live in the victory of Christ. When others choose to disregard God’s ways, it can affect us. This is when we have the opportunity to release God’s Kingdom ways, or add to the problem, by doing things our way. We will have the opportunity to face many trials throughout our life, but God’s promises make a way for us to overcome every difficulty. Every obstacle we face will make us stronger in trusting our God, Who has made a way to supernaturally deliver us. There is no test that we face alone. We have the Word of God, the Blood of Christ, and the angels of God, that obey His Word. Remember: the enemy may mean it for evil, but as we stay in the love, trust, and purposes of God, He works it out for our good. “No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; He’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; He’ll always be there to help you come through it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 MSG Thank You Father, for always leading us in victorious triumph in Christ Jesus. Thank You for Your Word, that delivers us out of all our troubles. Help us to intimately know, and apply Your Word to every area of our lives. Blessings, as God gives you wisdom to overcome every obstacle. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

Every gift God gives us, is for the purpose of serving Him. He has made us with different abilities to accomplish His will in the earth. He inspires and energizes us through His Word. All the gifts, abilities, and knowledge are nothing without love. The most excellent way to live, is in God’s Love. Love empowers the gifts to flow, according to His perfect will. God’s gifts and callings should be sought and found in His Love. They will produce His Fruit in others, as we minister from His Love. If we don’t let His Love rule in our lives, hurt and discouragement can take root in us, when others don’t receive the gifts God has placed in us. His Love helps us stay in the proper perspective: that everything we do, we are doing in, and for Him! “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:” 1 Corinthians 12:7 NKJV Thank You Lord, for making us all uniquely different in You, to expand Your Kingdom. Thank You for establishing Your Love and acceptance firmly in us, to minister salvation to those around us. Blessings, as God’s Love empowers you to minister His Word of Truth. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

Daily, we have a choice of how we express God’s awesome gift of His infinite love. We can let hurt, anger, and bitterness block our flow of His Love. We can let intimidation and fear silence us from sharing His Love. The best choice we can make is: to release all our hurts and wrongs to Him, and receive His healing peace, which frees us to love. We can place our trust and confidence completely in Him. This will release boldness in us to sow His peace, joy, and love into others. We can train ourselves to see from His perspective of love and victory. We can discipline ourselves to see all the good God is doing, and speak His will on earth, as it is in Heaven. It’s our choice everyday to walk in: love or anger, faith or unbelief, courage or fear, hope or dread, a grateful, thankful heart, or a downcast, discouraged heart. God’s Word tells us to choose life and blessing, and how we choose to express ourselves is what will manifest in our lives. We release the abundant life and blessings of our Lord, and not the death and curse of the enemy. WE CHOOSE LIFE AND BLESSING! “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.” 1 Corinthians 13:1 NKJV Thank You Lord, for helping us walk in, and express Your Love. Open our eyes to see Your good plan, and speak it forth. Blessings, as God’s Love causes you to be grateful for all His blessings, that He daily loads you with. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

Our human tendency can take things that are familiar to us for granted. We don’t always value the very blessings God has given us. We don’t fully value God’s provision through our occupation. This causes us to complain and curse our work, instead of blessing and thanking God. We stop honoring and respecting those God has placed around us, and stop speaking kind words of blessing and gratitude. Martin Luther said, “The dog is the most faithful of animals, and would be much esteemed were it not so common. Our Lord God has made His greatest gifts the commonest.” It’s the little things we choose to do daily, that either spoil love or give value to love. “[My heart was touched and I fervently sang to him my desire] Take for us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards [of our love], for our vineyards are in blossom.” Song of Solomon 2:15 AMPC Lord, expose the little things we do that spoil those things You have blessed us with. Help us to see the blessing and value in the things that are common to us. Blessings, as you drive out the little things, that are trying to destroy the things of value, which are given by God. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!
