Have you ever been asked what your purpose is? Virtue is literally living out your purpose. From the very beginning God called us to be fruitful and that is impossible without the Holy Spirit. The fruit in our lives may come after many failures but like Christ we can grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man. I challenge you to ask the Holy Spirit for conviction about your virtue and bring glory to God.

What does it mean for you to be a witness? Is that active or passive? God brought up a nation to bear witness and it culminated in Christ as the ultimate witness of God's love. His example in Scripture is perfect and we should bear witness of the cross. Walk in obedience to build that relationship with God and claim joy and peace. Do wonders in His name.

In the middle of the storm the house on the rock or on the sand? Which stands firm in your storm? But, really, what does it cost me to get to that rock? The effort to be doers of the word not just hearers only takes perseverance. When you are in the storm you are going to need Christ to back you up. I encourage you to take hold of Scripture and encourage yourself and those around you. Let’s build the Kingdom together on the Rock!

Are you joyful? I don’t mean happiness. I mean responding with happiness to whatever situation is before you. Jesus is the perfect example of Joy. Being filled with the Spirit enables you to walk in it. Don’t let fear rob you because God is faithfull. I encourage you to be a conduit of joy when you encounter hard in your life. Choose joy.

What are you fruitful in? God's first command to mankind is to be fruitful. Do you to actively pursue it? Peter writes to remind and encourage us to pursue 7 things that add to our faith. He also tells us without them we will be ineffective and unfruitful. We have to choose to change and grow in these areas. I encourage you to seek our Savior's heart, add to your faith, show up and let God.

Join us in prayer today as we pray through the Lord’s prayer and let the Spirit lead us. As we pray for release of the kingdom in hearts, community, and family, believe God is doing great things. We praise the Lord for all His wonderous gifts. Stir up your faith, trust Him to be your defender, and contend with me in fervent prayer this month.

I hope my encouragement has brought good investment into your life. Jesus saught out the lost and we need to do the same. When Peter and John had "nothing" to give they tapped into the kingdom through prayer. Turn to prayer, as they did, and partner with your friend to stay active. Pray for boldness, become a giant of prayer. Let's see God’s hand move in the world like never before.

Do you expect change when you pray? Do you listen to God when you pray? We should expect change and be prepared to change ourselves. Peter listened and obeyed during prayer and in doing so his expectations were met and surpassed by God’s love for people. When we are willing to leave our plans at the feet of Jesus and join others in sharing God’s heart we change the destiny of the world. I challenge you to believe with me and pray for the impossible.

I want your faith system to be activated today and put in the drivers seat of your daily thoughts. In this episode I challenge you to boldy declare five world-changing prayers. I encourage you to seek Gods purpose, ask Him where He is moving, and trust your powerful prayers to return fruitful.

Have you ever been mis-led in something and believed it good? Jesus warns us that this would happen and the enemy is crafty. Be diligent on what influences you, then be bold and make God known to people. I encourage you to dig into Scriptures and obey when the Holy Spirit leads you, no matter how you might feel or think about the situation. His plans are great!
