The Power to Love is Sourced in the Holy Spirit Scripture :  Romans 5:5 “… And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. ” (Romans 5:5) It is only through God’s power that we can love others in the way he desires. This is confirmed by this verse: “…F or God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. ” (2 Timothy 1:7) The kind of love, power, and self-control we need to overcome the weaknesses of the flesh and the lures of the world must come from a power greater than ourselves. It is through the Spirit we are able to put the death the misdeeds of the flesh. It is through the Spirit that God works in us to do the things he wants us to do. By his Spirit we exercise the self-control we need to discipline ourselves. We do not have that power in and of ourselves. The same is true when it comes to love. Fortunately, God has poured his love into our heart by the Holy Sp...

  For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10 A Masterpiece Never Makes Itself It’s interesting that a masterpiece never makes itself. Without da Vinci, there is no Mona Lisa painting—just another painted canvas, no big deal. Without Michelangelo, there is no statue of David—just another big slab of marble that others thought was nothing special. The difference was the maker. The good news is that your maker is the Most High God. It’s not up to you to become a masterpiece; that’s His job. You don’t have to strive, perform, and live under pressure. You can relax, knowing that you’re a masterpiece in the making. You have some flaws, some areas where you need to improve. You’re not finished. The master is still at work. Don’t get discouraged while you’re being changed. Your divine designer knows exactly what you need, when you need it, and where you need it. What looks like a mistake or a...

  We Have Work to Do Scripture: John 17:3–4) “ Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. ” (John 17:3–4) This is eternal life: knowing God and Jesus Christ. Jesus came into the world to give the world this message. Without him, there is no hope of personal salvation. Those who accept this truth will enjoy a life that will echo into eternity. Notice he said he  brought glory to God by finishing the work God gave him to do . This should be a major goal for each of us. We must discover what God designed us for and find the work God wants us to do. Just as tools are used for different purposes, you have been designed for a specific purpose. We can be used to bring glory to God if we keep his Word and obey him in fulfilling the mission he has given to us. Jesus tells us just what that is: “ Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sen...

  Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Proverbs 3:5 What You Can’t Calculate We look at our lives in the natural. “If I save, get the promotion, and have no setbacks, I should be out of debt in ten years.” It’s good to be wise and plan and do all you can. But here’s a key: Our God is supernatural, and you can’t calculate His goodness. You can’t quantify His blessings, His increase, His favor. There are things He has already planned for you that are out of the ordinary. That’s why the Scripture says to trust Him with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. It may look like it’s going to take forever, but this is where faith comes in. What you can’t see is that God has some fast-forward moments that defy the odds, acceleration you didn’t see coming, good breaks that will catapult you ahead. Be grateful for where you are, stay faithful, but get ready. What looks like it is way off is going to happen sooner than you thi...

God’s Word is Food for the Soul Scripture :  Matthew 4:4 “ Jesus answered, ‘It is written: “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”’  (Matthew 4:4) There you have it. If we are going to experience a true spiritual life renewal, we need to know and receive the Word of God, “ but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. ” (2 Timothy 1:10) Without God’s Word we are weak, ignorant vessels, losing our way in this complex world system dedicated to keep us from discovering and living the truth. Why do you think Job said he treasured God’s Word more than his necessary food? Why do you think Jeremiah said he ate God’s Word when he found it? Why do you think David said God’s Word was more valuable to him than thousands of pieces of gold and silver? David said, “ This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your word has given me life...

  For she kept saying, If I only touch His garments, I shall be restored to health. Mark 5:28 Activate the Flow In Mark 5, there was a lady who had a bleeding disorder for twelve years. She had spent all her money on the best doctors but was told her illness was untreatable. One day she heard that Jesus was passing through her town, and something came alive. Her faith rose up. She left her house determined to push through the crowds and push through her doubts and get to Jesus. She kept saying that if she touched His garments, her health would be restored. She reached out, touched the edge of His robe, and was healed. Jesus looked at her and said, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Your faith activated this flow of healing.” I wonder if there are some divine flows you’re missing out on because you’re not activating them. You’re brushing up against Jesus so to speak, but you’re not touching Him. You have to stretch your faith, press past the doubts, press past the naysayers wh...
