The Gift

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the Gift Of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

The Gospel message is your conversation with anyone. Speak Life & Truth today.

Love Is A Choice

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7

This love is unconditional to the end of life. This love is a choice. This love says, Regardless of anything that happens I will love.

When we choose to put our faith in God and His precious sacrificial expression of love, which is His death and resurrection, it says, because of our faith God comes and lives in us.

Since God is love and is in us, we now have the ability to give “regardless love” because, (Romans 5:5) God put His love in us.

Today…love your wife regardless.

Love your kids regardless.

Love the church regardless.

Regardless of their faults.

Regardless of their errors.

Regardless of their failures.

God loves you with an everlasting love, regardless of your faults, errors and failures.

You are loved.

To receive that love you must choose to give that kind of love to those closest to you.

Beloved, let us love one another - for love is of God.

Give that kind of unconditional love. Talk about it. Display it to those closest to you.

As you do, the peace and grace of God will fill your soul. It will show on your face. 

When In Crisis

Someone once said, "You're either in a crisis or about to face one”.

Crisis isn't bad, it's just a change from the normal. Many times God uses crisis to change our situation, show us where we need to grow, prove His presence with us, and move us out of complacency. Although crisis may be uncomfortable, it may be what we need to ‘sharpen our swords’ as christians.

Whether it's your job, health, marraige, kids, school, housing, etc... Remember:

God is in the crisis with you. God is waiting for you to ask. When you ask, forget the 'why'. Ask Him what He is doing in your heart, and listen to Him as you read His Word.

Gideon was in crisis (Judges 6). Gideon never felt like he had meaning or significance in his life. When crisis hit, God raised Him up to be a mighty warrior. Embrace your crisis and trust God to make you what He knows you are: A mighty warrior.

Self Talk

“But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, *said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.” (Mark‬ ‭5‬:‭36)‬ ‭

Voices we hear, and voices we over-hear from other conversations are for the most part unbelieving voices. Many times our own self-talk can be negative, self-destructive, unbelieving of Gods promises. It usually happens when we face things bigger than us and are hard to handle. That is when the small voice of the Holy Spirit within you says, "don't be afraid any longer only believe.”

Only believe.

PROMISE: "If you remain in me and my Words remain in you, ASK ANYTHING OF ME AND I WILL DO IT.", said Jesus.

ONLY BELIEVE!

Need Advice?

How do you make decisions in life?

Do you: Ask a friend? Pray? Call Mom? Call Dad? Call the Pastor? Talk to your spouse? "Roll the dice"? List pros and cons? "Wing it"?

Listen

Christ IS the power of God, and the Wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:24). And, God has united us with Christ. For our benefit God made Jesus WISDOM ITSELF. (1 Cor. 1:30)

When you seek wisdom and are born again, wisdom is found in scripture, and wisdom is IN YOU because JESUS is IN YOU.

How It Works

1. Read Scripture (your Bible) EVERYDAY.

2. Christ IN YOU will agree with scripture.

3. Do what wisdom (CHRIST) in you is telling you.

4. VERIFY with the Word of God, and if you need to with a mature Real Believer in Christ.

5. OBEY JESUS. You will find rest for your soul!

One Word Of Warning

If you have a plan and your plan is all you want... your decision is made. Because you're determined already, you MAY NOT HEAR wisdom. BE OPEN, be reading, be listening. JESUS IS WISDOM.

Don’t Stop Here

Open your Bible, and read God's Word for yourself. What is Wisdom saying to you today?

Pray

God, help me to hear your wisdom IN ME. Help me to seek YOUR WILL for my life, and NOT my own. I need to know your mind on this.
