You are unique

Never try so hard to fit in... When U were BORN to STAND OUT...

You made all the delicate inner parts
of my body and knit me together
in my mothers womb
Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex.
Your workmanship is marvelous and how well I know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the darkened womb,
You saw me before I was even born.
Every day of my life was recorded in Your book.
Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
How precious are Your thoughts about me, oh’ God,
they are innumerable.
I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand.
And when I wake up in the morning You are still with me.
(Col. 2)

Fully Rely On God

Have Faith...
Believe...

HOW?

The devil cause us to doubt and we look at our circumstances instead of looking to God.

Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen.

Lets analize this verse:
Faith = * Substance of things hoped for
* Evidence of things not seen

What is substance?
- Material
- Buildingblocks
- Bricks

We need this substance (Faith) in order to be able to believe. Without faith it is impossible to please God.

Evidence = When others can see what you have received through faith.

Two things are needed for faith: Substance & Evicence

Rom 10:8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim);

The word of faith should be in your heart and mouth, you must believe with your heart and confess with your mouth, this is your legal standing before God.

Stop contradicting the heart by what you speak with your mouth.

Faith without works is like the body without the spirit. Here is the steps:
1. Believe with your heart
2. Confess with your mouth
3. Walk in the word of God

Mar 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

If we believe and know that God hears our prayers, we have received. It may take a while to materialize in the physical world, but remember; It is as you believe that it shall be done unto you. God wants to see the true state of your heart, He tests the heart.

How many times do you confess negatively over what you believe in your heart?

Focus on the spiritual and turn away from the physical. How? How can you give thanks for something that you don't have yet?

All things belong to us, so we must give thanks unto God. Put faith into practice. Stop wanting to see first before you believe, first believe and you will be amaized at the results. Start to worship God in spirit and truth. God will honor you.

Rest in the provision that God has for you, He said you have it, so you must believe that you have it. He will move heaven and earth for you if you dare believe in Him.

Always guard the words of your mouth:

-Look }
-Believe } The Word of God
-Confess }

Loving one another

Mat 22:35 And one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, testing him, and saying,
Mat 22:36 Master, which is the chief rule in the law?
Mat 22:37 And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
Mat 22:38 This is the first and greatest rule.
Mat 22:39 And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.
Mat 22:40 On these two rules all the law and the prophets are based.


The above scriptures is the Old Testament way of loving, not the New Testament way of loving. It is the Law (the Ten Commandmends grouped together)

The first 5 Commandmends is about us loving God (Mat 22:37 And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.)

The second 5 Commandmends is about us loving our neighbour as ourself (Mat 22:39 And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.)'

Love is the foundation for the Kingdom of God because God is Love.

So what is the New Testament way of loving then? It is a new commandmend given to us by the Lord, to love one another as He loves us.

Do people know you are a dissiple for Jesus? How will they know? By our love towards one another.

John 13:34 I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.
Joh 13:35 By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.


Joh 15:12 This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.

If we love the Lord we will keep His commandment to love one another. We don't have to do it in our own strength, He is using His strenght and love to work through us, we must just be willing. God is fully capable of loving through you if you stand aside and let Him get to work. God wants to take over your live. All or nothing, not just some piece of you.

If God is in you, you must love, you have no choice. And to love completely, you must forgive.
If you have unforgiveness towards others, you don't love God. Without God you can do nothing, only He can help you to forgive and love.

God = Love (they are one)

John 17 - Jesus prayed for you
- He has compassion for you
- He wept for you

Are you willing for Him to work through you so you can pray for others, have compassion for others and weep with/for others?

Allow the love of God to flow through you and rest in His provision for you. And remember: there is only one way that you can claim to know God - when you do what He has commanded: LOVE ONE ANOTHER!
Psalm 37:34

Don't be impatient for the Lord to act! Keep traveling steadily along His pathway and in due season He will honour you with every blessing, and you will see the wicked destroyed.
