The main call of God in our lives is to be a living sacrifice for Him. In everything we do, our first priority is to honor and glorify Him. That means we choose His Word and ways above man’s wisdom. We must take a stand for righteousness and life. The enemy’s main weapons are fear and shame. We have boldness and confidence in Christ to advance the Kingdom of God. “according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.” Philippians 1:20 NKJV CHRIST BE MAGNIFIED IN ME! Lord, may this be our primary purpose in life? May we never be deceived into being ashamed of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST! The Good news of CHRIST is our everything. Blessings, as CHRIST is revealed through you! Love ya’ll, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

We must guard against frustration and discouragement. We are here to plant Words of Truth. There will be many times that we will have to repeat the same truths again and again. We need to remember how graciously our Lord has repeated the same things to us before we got it. The key to staying free of irritation is to rejoice in all the goodness of God toward us. Remember, God wants people to receive His truth more than we do. He loves them more than we do. We don’t have to get frustrated when others don’t receive or want to walk in, His loving principles of Life. We just need to keep speaking His truth in love and let the Holy Spirit reveal God’s love to them. “FOR THE rest, my brethren, delight yourselves in the Lord and continue to rejoice that you are in Him. To keep writing to you [over and over] of the same things is not irksome to me, and it is [a precaution] for your safety.” Philippians 3:1 AMPC Lord, help us to remember how many times You tell us the same things before we get it. Help us to continually keep planting Your Words of life, whether others are receiving it or not. May our delight be in you, and not whether others seem to be listening or not. We plant the seed of the Word, and You cause the increase. Blessings, as you boldly speak the Good News of Jesus Christ! Love ya’ll, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

The more Christ reveals in us, the more we will understand who we are. We’ll stop trying to figure out what makes US happy and be overtaken with joy in Who He Is! When we focus on Christ, we discover His purpose for us. So many times we get it backward. We spend a lot of time figuring out our purpose and what makes us feel good. This creates a “never attainable illusion”, creating unrealistic goals for us and others. We put our confidence in things that will make us happy: magical memory moments, and activities that make us feel good. We miss out on the true joy that God wants us to flow in. In Christ, we already have everything we need. Every moment is victorious or in the process of becoming victorious. Every activity releases the life, power, and hope of salvation. “When Christ, who is your life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.” Colossians 3:4 CEB Thank You, Lord, for helping us discover Your greatness. This reveals Your glory, in us and through us. Our total confidence can be in You, and not ourselves. Blessings, as your complete identity is found in Christ! Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

The challenge we have daily: is to see from God’s perspective, and not our human mindsets. Holy Spirit trains and guides us through the Word, how to live as kings and priests in the earth. Kings decree and declare God’s purposes according to His Truth. Priests present God to people, and bring people to God, through the message of the Gospel of Christ. God’s ways seem foolish to the natural mind. That’s why we need Holy Spirit to supersede our natural thought process and reveal God’s amazing, life-transforming truth to us. “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 ESV Holy Spirit, thank You for leading, guiding, and revealing spiritual truth in us. Thank You, for Your transformation work in our lives. Blessings, as the Holy Spirit renews your every thought. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

It was imperative that Christ died on the cross, and went to the Father. He paid the price for all our sins and sickness. He restored us to right relationship with God Almighty. He ascended to the Father so that He could send the Holy Spirit to lead and empower us to walk as God’s anointed on the earth. Holy Spirit guides us into an intimate relationship with the Father, and Jesus. Without that right relationship, we miss the true meaning of God’s love. The Holy Spirit reveals God’s wisdom to us and gives us a desire to follow God’s ways. Without the Holy Spirit’s guidance, we can’t even understand God’s Word properly. The Holy Spirit gives us confidence to tell others about our great and loving God. “But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.” Acts 1:8 AMPC Thank You Holy Spirit, for stirring up an intimate love to comprehend and make the Word of God alive and active in us. Thank You for helping us witness to our families, friends, community, nation, and throughout the earth—blessings, as you allow Holy Spirit to transform how you perceive God and His Word. Love all of you, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!
