God has released His Holy Spirit on the earth to reveal His great & unending love for humanity. This message is reaching every corner of our planet...it's the realization of the prophecy, "where sin abounds, grace much more abounds." It is the most important message & everyone needs to hear it; BUT, it's not the end of the message. One day, every one of us will stand before God & give an account for our lives. On that day, the measuring stick for eternity will not be "His love for us". The only thing that will matter in that moment will be, "Did we love Him?"Let's begin a "Movement of Lovers"! See Matthew 22:36-40

God enlarges us & increases us by sending His Word to us. Our ability to recognize, apprehend & steward His Word builds internal foundations & structures in us that enable us to sustain the weight of His blessing.If we do not appropriately handle the Word He imparts into us, then when blessing comes, it can crush us…or we will shrink the blessing to match the size of our hearts.Read Isaiah 54:1-3 as a declaration of breakthrough for your life.

Our number one core value must be that God is Good. We must view everything in life through that lens. And for those who may immediately think, "but God is Just, Holy, Righteous, the hater of sin & Judge"...I agree with you. BUT He is only those things through the context of His Goodness...not independent from it.Therefore, every act of God is an insight into His goodness & is an invitation for us to know Him. Let Him hide you in the "Rock" so that He may cause all of His Goodness to pass before you...you'll never be the same. He's Good & He's for you, not against you!!

Ungodly fear is a "spirit" & it is not the Spirit that God has given to us. It is a messenger from our enemy that is sent to torment us. God's Spirit, or Holy Spirit, has been sent, not as a messenger, but as a companion, to comfort us!2 Timothy 1:6-7 says, "For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of hands. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a Spirit of power, love & of self-control."William P. Young, the author of "The Shack" puts it like this, "Fear exists to the degree that you don't believe you are loved by God."If you can worry, you can meditate on the Lord. You cannot have "2" thoughts at the same time; so get a better thought...afterall, we now have the mind of Christ.

John 15 gives us the "key" to a full life with God..."ABIDE" and "REMAIN".Our ultimate and most important responsibility in life is to protect our connection with Daddy God! A strong connection to Him = life to the full. A weak connection or broken connection to Him = death, pain and suffering.

Psalm 27:8 “When You said, ‘Seek My face,’ my heart said to You, ‘Your face, O Lord, I will seek.’”2 Corinthians 3:16-17 “…but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”A Kingdom shift takes place the moment we “turn to the Lord.” The veil that separated us & our Father is removed & heaven’s government of freedom is now at hand.

If you are forced into submission, it's not submission...it's bondage. Jesus didn't come to free us, then bind us again...Galatians 5:1.He is the Good Shepherd & His agenda for us is abundantly clear...He has plans to prosper us, not to harm us; plans to give us hope & a future (Jeremiah 29:11). Move toward Him & let Him move toward you.He's exceedingly good & is better than you can even imagine!

Matthew 24:14 says, "And the Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come."So, what exactly is the "good news" of the Kingdom? Well, it is found all throughout scripture, but is "declared" or "announced" in Matthew 1:23, "...you will call His Name 'Immanuel', which means, 'God with us.'"; and in Luke 2:14, "Glory to God in the highest & on earth, peace & good will toward men."The good news is that God is with us & He is for us!

Coming face to face with the reality of who God is & who we are "in HIM", will fundamentally transform us. Christ is being formed in us - Galatians 4:19."A man set on fire is sure to rearrange his priorities." Paul Yarmer

God's Word cannot return to Him until it fulfills the purpose for which it was sent. (SEE: Isaiah 55:10-11)So, where does His Word go once He speaks it? It remains, or abides in us...working the Father's purposes in us. John 15:1-4 gives insight into this Kingdom principle: "...you are already clean because of the Word I have spoken to you. Remain in Me, as I also remain in you..."We need to respond to the current Word of the Lord for our lives, but the key to daily response is the "ABIDING WORD OF GOD IN US".Jesus is the Word of God made flesh, dwelling among us; and it is Christ in us, the hope of glory.
