Keep it Simple

Luke 4:18-19 ESV “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Romans 10:14-15 ESV

[14] How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? [15] And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"

Psalm 71:16 NIV “I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord; I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.”

Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. [3] Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

Psalm 67:1-7

God be merciful to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us, Selah [2] That Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations. [3] Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. [4] Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy! For You shall judge the people righteously, And govern the nations on earth. Selah [5] Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. [6] Then the earth shall yield her increase; God, our own God, shall bless us. [7] God shall bless us, And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

Psalm 68:1,3-4 NKJV

[1] Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him. [3] But let the righteous be glad; Let them rejoice before God; Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly. [4] Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name YAH, And rejoice before Him.

Hebrews 10:37-39 ESV For, “Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay; [38] but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” [39] But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

1 Corinthians 2:2-5 "For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God."

GNFT: JOY!

Proverbs 15:22-23 NKJV

Without counsel, plans go awry, But in the multitude of counselors they are established. [23] A man has joy by the answer [response] of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season [in its time], how good it is!

[1] To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: [7] A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;

Habakkuk 3:17-19 NKJV

[17] Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls- [18] Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

1 Thessalonians 5:16 TPT

Let joy be your continual feast.
