Lessons from the bible

2 Corinthians 5:17 TPT Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new.⁠

1 Thessalonians 5:23 GNT May the God who gives us peace make you holy in every way and keep your whole being—spirit, soul, and body—free from every fault at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ

Mark 1:40-42 TPT - On one occasion, a leper came and threw himself down in front of Jesus, pleading for his healing, saying, “You have the power to heal me right now if only you really want to!” Being deeply moved with tender compassion, Jesus reached out and touched the skin of the leper and told him, “Of course I want you to be healed—so now, be cleansed!” Instantly his leprous sores completely disappeared and his skin became smooth

Exodus 34:29 Voice When Moses went back down Mount Sinai, he carried the two stone tablets in his hands as a witness to their agreement. But he did not realize that the skin on his face was glowing and radiant because he had been speaking with God

Acts 14:20 AMP "But the disciples formed a circle around him, and he got up and went back into the city; and the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe". Surround yourself with people who can have your back, stand with you in critical moments of your life, who can rejoice with you and also share in your pain. Friendship shouldn't be based on just emotions but be very intentional about the people you bring into your space.

Life, circumstances, culture and even our environment sometimes put on us burdens that we never planned for or expected. These burdens leave us tired, worn out and stretched. But Jesus extends to you and I an invitation to rest and recovery. An invitation to show us how to take a real and authentic rest that propels us on the wings of unforced rhythms of grace!

Matthew 7:7-8 TLB “Ask, and you will be given what you ask for. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened. 8 For everyone who asks, receives. Anyone who seeks, finds. If only you will knock, the door will open.

1 John 3:20 TPT "Whenever our hearts make us feel guilty and remind us of our failures, we know that God is much greater and more merciful than our conscience, and he knows everything there is to know about us."

The fact that you faced a challenge doesn't mean you are out of God's will. Challenges are part of life's journey but victory is the destination!

Psalm 42:1-2 TPT I long to drink of you, O God, to drink deeply from the streams of pleasure flowing from your presence. My longings overwhelm me for more of you! 2 My soul thirsts, pants, and longs for the living God. I want to come and see the face of God.
