GIVING IT AWAY ON PURPOSE!

What a crazy, and yet amazing, moment in time that you and I have the privilege of living in! If there is anything that I am convinced of, it is that, more than ever, this world desperately needs a supernatural influx of the love of God! Oh, yes! I believe a revival of the love of God is at hand! It’s undoubtedly the hour of the coming of the Lord; all the signs are lining up. We must expend ourselves for the great purpose for which we were created! As Reinhart Bonnke so apply said it, “Make the great commission your great ambition!” Consider these powerful words of Jesus. 

Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Mk 8:38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

There is only one way to truly change the world – be a shining example of what change looks like! How true this is! I can only give away what I possess! I must be infected with the love of God myself before I will be able to infect somebody else with its greatness! Your goal should be to live so inundated with the love and grace of God that those who come in contact with you become infected by osmosis with the God you profess! 

A quote often attributed to St Francis of Assisi says, “Preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words.” According to the word of God, words are necessary, but our life must be more than words; it must be an accurate display of what we are saying. This kind of living comes from the simplicity of receiving and believing what God has said. 

Oh, what power and glory we would walk in if we would simply receive the grace of God granted to us through Jesus Christ! I assure you, if we do, the rest will be history! The world will be changed, and our purpose will be accomplished! I declare over your life today that God can indeed count on you during this most vital season! I proclaim that you are receiving the goodness and grace of God for your life, and you are…
