Seek the Lost, Encourage the Found. 

The heart of the Father reflected through my life, my focus, my attention and affection in this New Year. I believe it, because it is His will and I can see it as a promise in His Word, the Bible.

Lord, may we will see the lost and bring them home to You. May we encourage and love on the "found" the brethren and to lay our lives down for all brothers & sisters in the Body of Christ. 

This is what I want to see in 2023. 

📖 John 11:1-45

Jesus allowed Himself to be appropriately vulnerable to display His great love.

Jesus was emotionally available to those who honored Him. (The Bible didn’t say Jesus sent praying hand emojis, HE WEPT!)

👉🏻 as all God/ all man He had limitations He willingly chose in order that His identification would become our justification, sanctification and redemption.

Jesus humbled Himself in transparency in mission and motive.📖 Luke 19:10

Jesus was “home/ a tabernacle” for those who would receive Him.

📖John 1:12-15

WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING “home” TO OTHERS THIS CHRISTMAS.

📖Romans 12:15

Home is a safe haven and a comfort zone.

The Glory dwells inside and on the Rock to abide. Jesus Christ our Hope & our Glory!

God's power is most present in my weakness, when He gets 100% of the glory! 

Jeremiah 9:23-24

“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength

❌🎉🚫The party no one should ever accept an invitation to.

It’s the Pity Party 😩

What happens when we feel sorry for ourselves?

Don’t have to feel guilty for for receiving the invitation, just don’t stay there.

They both made it because they didn’t stay there.

Your testimony is only a burden if you try to carry it yourself.

Romans 8:28

Jeremiah 15:16

📖 His Words:❤️

Restores our soul - Psalms 23:3

Nourishes our spirit - Acts 17:25

Heals your body - Proverbs 15:30

🙌🏻Don’t be afraid of missing out in something, TIME IS NOT YOUR ENEMY!

❣️The only time you miss out on life is when:❣️

🙌🏻Don’t try to be anyone else but you in Christ, TIME IS NOT YOUR ENEMY!

We died and have been raised to the Way, the Truth & the Life in our identification and salvation in Christ Jesus.

I AM FREE IN CHRIST.

So why do I keep walking back into the prison cell of sin and acting like it's a better idea for me? Sometimes it's a learned behavior, fear of change or failure, but not matter the fruit, Jesus Christ  has taken care of the root. Liberation from sin itself. 

The Father, Son & Holy Spirit work seamlessly together on everything. They have never had regrets or "buyers remorse."

Jesus' Blood is the powerful proof of my purchased soul and I never need to have fear that He will get bored, tired or weary of what He bought. HE HAS NO RETURNS & NO REGRETS FOR SPILLING HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD ON BEHALF OF THE WORLD!

The redemption found in Jesus Christ is so complete and finished in its nature that it is an eternal invitation to turn from living as a slave to sin & death and live as a royal child of God in His love & grace.
