"GOD YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS! GOD, THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU, THE ALL POWERFUL, ALL KNOWING, PRESENT EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME GOD.
MY MINISTRY IS FOR ALL GOD'S PEOPLE TO KNOW HOW DEEPLY I CARE FOR THEM IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, WHO HAS SUFFERED NOT ONLY FOR ME, BUT ALSO FOR THEM.
I SPEAK THE TRUTH IN CHRIST - I AM NOT LYING, MY CONSCIENCE CONFIRMS IT IN THE HOLY SPIRIT - FOR GOD SAYS TO MOSES, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION." IT DOES NOT, THEREFORE, DEPEND ON MAN'S DESIRE OR EFFORT, BUT ON GOD'S MERCY. IT IS GOD'S SOVEREIGN CHOICE.
ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD - BREATHED AND IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, SO THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. (2 Tim.3:16-17)
ABOVE ALL, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE CAME ABOUT BY THE PROPHET'S OWN INTERPRETATION. FOR PROPHECY NEVER HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE WILL OF MAN, BUT MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS THEY WERE CARRIED ALONG BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. (2 Peter 1:20-21)
THEREFORE,SINCE THROUGH GOD'S MERCY I HAVE THIS MINISTRY, I DO NOT LOSE HEART. RATHER, I HAVE RENOUNCED SECRET AND SHAMEFUL WAYS; I DO NOT USE DECEPTION, NOR DO I DISTORT THE WORD OF GOD. ON THE CONTRARY, BY SETTING FORTH THE TRUTH PLAINLY I COMMEND MYSELF TO EVERY MAN'S CONSCIENCE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. AND EVEN IF MY GOSPEL IS VEILED, IT IS VEILED TO THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING. THE GOD OF THIS AGE HAS BLINDED THE MINDS OF UNBELIEVERS, SO THAT THEY CANNOT SEE THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL OF THE GLORY OF CHRIST, WHO IS THE IMAGE OF GOD. FOR I DO NOT PREACH MYSELF, BUT JESUS CHRIST AS LORD, AND MYSELF AS YOUR SERVANT FOR JESUS' SAKE. FOR GOD, WHO SAID, "LET LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS," MADE HIS LIGHT SHINE IN MY HEART TO GIVE ME THE LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE FACE OF CHRIST. BUT I HAVE THIS TREASURE IN A JAR OF CLAY TO SHOW THAT THIS ALL - SURPASSING POWER IS FROM GOD AND NOT FROM ME. (2 Cor.4:1-7)
DON'T BE DECEIVED, MY DEAR BROTHERS. EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE, COMING DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF THE HEAVENLY LIGHTS, WHO DOES NOT CHANGE LIKE SHIFTING SHADOWS. GOD CHOSE TO GIVE ME BIRTH THROUGH THE WORD OF TRUTH, THAT I MIGHT BE A KIND OF FIRSTFRUIT OF ALL GOD CREATED. (James 1:16-18)
IT IS GOD'S SOVEREIGN CHOICE, "GOD MADE KNOWN TO ME THE MYSTERY OF GOD'S WILL ACCORDING TO GOD'S GOOD PLEASURE, WHICH GOD PURPOSED IN CHRIST, TO BE PUT INTO EFFECT WHEN THE TIMES WILL HAVE REACHED THEIR FULFILLMENT - TO BRING ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH TOGETHER UNDER ONE HEAD, EVEN CHRIST." (Eph.1:9-10)
HAPPY EASTER, CHRIST HAS RISEN, CHRIST HAS RISEN INDEED.
AND GOD PLACED ALL THING UNDER CHRIST FEET AND APPOINTED CHRIST TO BE HEAD OVER EVERYTHING FOR THE CHURCH, WHICH IS CHRIST BODY, THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST WHO FILLS EVERYTHING IN EVERY WAY. (Eph.1:22-23)
SO I DO NOT WAVER THROUGH UNBELIEF REGARDING THE PROMISE OF GOD, BUT I AM STRENGTHENED IN MY FAITH AND I GIVE GLORY TO GOD, BEING FULLY PERSUADED THAT GOD HAS THE POWER TO DO WHAT GOD HAS PROMISED ME!
THE PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN IS POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE.
MAY THE GOD OF PEACE, WHO THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE ETERNAL COVENANT BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THAT GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP, EQUIP ME WITH EVERYTHING GOOD FOR DOING GOD'S WILL, AND MAY GOD WORK IN ME WHAT IS PLEASING TO GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, TO WHOM BE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER." AMEN! (Heb.13:20-21)
I HAVE FOLLOWED JESUS TO GOD THE FATHER WHO NOW TEACHES ME HOW TO LIVE LIKE JESUS, HOW TO BE A SON LIKE JESUS,HOW TO LOVE LIKE JESUS. WITH GOD AS MY TEACHER I HAVE NO DOUBT I WILL GET IT RIGHT.
"CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANKS BE TO GOD." AMEN!
