Hello ,
Did you know that God has new, healthy relationships waiting for you in 2025? This is a new season. Would you like to know how
to PREPARE for these relationships?
What the Lord has planned for this year has been in the works for quite some time. There have been many obedient saints who have sacrificed much and have played a part in God's plans.
He has
promised the body of Christ SO much for 2025. Week after week, He keeps giving us more and more hope of what to expect.
Did you know this is ALL for God?
Since the beginning of the year, the Lord has been highlighting two words to me. It is because of these two words, that also inspire others to get up each day and live for Him.
FOR
GOD!
He tells us in His Scriptures that He created everything and everyone FOR HIM. You were created to live for Him and that can be summed up in one powerful word:
LOVE.
Jesus reveals to us in the Gospels that we are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. We are also to love one another as we love ourselves.
God is love. Since He is, and He created everything for Himself, do you have the same motive He has?
Love is what motivates Him to say and do what He says and does. Imagine waking up every day and you are so
excited to LOVE God, yourself, and others. This is something you don't have to do; you GET TO do it FOR GOD.
Did you know that everything God created was to serve Him?
Stop for a moment and look around you. What do you see? If you are going to see with God's eyes, you would know you are looking at SERVANTS.
Yes, servants. Everything God
created is to be used as a servant. As I look at my computer, the Lord reminds me of a question He asked me a few weeks ago.
"Jeffrey, is this computer serving you or are you serving the computer?"
How would you respond to that question?
Whatever you have in your possession is a SERVANT. Since that is true, are you using everything to serve God?
Yesterday, I heard someone quote this verse, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17
What if you saw everything as a GIFT from above?
How would you receive it and use it?
FOR GOD, perhaps.
all that God has given to you are Serving
Gifts. Ponder that for a moment.
Serving Gifts.
Do you know what is incredible about God's love for you? He gives you these Serving Gifts for FREE.
You don't earn them. You don't deserve them. Your part is to believe, receive, and use these gifts to love God and one another.
Depending on where you live in the world, you may not have a lot of possessions. Many are just
surviving with what they do have. Others are so blessed that they can help others who don't have as much.
Why did the Lord start this Newsletter letting you know He is setting you up with new, healthy relationships?
It's because you get to love them with the Free Serving Gifts the Lord has blessed you with.
Instead of trying to GET something from others as you develop these new, healthy relationships, why not focus on what you can GIVE them?
Jesus gave the Apostle Paul an amazing revelation. He said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." How can you give if you haven't first received every good gift from above?
, as you begin to meet new people this year, I encourage you to focus on Giving and Serving them.
That's what love is all about.
Finally, imagine a stream of water flowing downstream. It can ONLY go in one direction.
Now imagine yourself with all your Serving Gifts as they flow FROM
you in one direction: OUT.
Life is not about what you get. Life is about what you give. Many can live to get, but those who live to give are the ones who are full of joy.
