My friends remember to take the time to study God’s word regularly.
Seek God and you will find Him.
Ask God for His presence and you will receive it.
Knock at God’s door and deepen your relationship with Him and He will answer you.
God can answer you in many ways …
• possibly with His Still Small Voice,
• possibly with signs, wonders, blessing, healing, spiritual gifts
• or through many other indescribable ways.
Remember that God is everywhere, and His arm is infinitely long …
He can do all things … including to reach out and touch YOU.
Be faithful in your life and seek God.
God is all-powerful & unlike some people God at times acts like a gentleman, he does not force himself on us
He is there for you if you seek Him, if you do not seek Him, he may leave you alone.
As wonderful as it is to diligently and faithful study God’s word …
This alone will not be fully useful if we do not put God’s word into practice by understanding what He is saying through His Word and putting it into practice by keeping God’s commands in our lives.
As we develop our spiritual senses … we will through God’s blessing, love, mercy learn to hear God speaking to us increasingly in our lives.
If we believe in God and always remain open to receiving the greatest Spiritual blessing from God we will receive Holy Spirit. The power of Holy Spirit will help us develop our spiritual ears … so that we can hear what God is saying to us … and also … hear and share what God would like us to say to other people, through us.
My friends, I want you to be strong and courageous.
Do not trust excessively in other people, whether it be friends, associates or human leaders.
People, through their limited ability, variable emotions and unknown motives … may accidently or deliberately fail us and let us down.
As we love, live for, trust in and obey God … we will be blessed and receive a wonderful reward for our faith in God which will produce the final result of eternal life and blessing in accordance to our faith in God and our conduct in our lives. Know that on this world, even good people sometimes suffer and have bad things happen and people regardless of their conduct, faith and life have a few things in common … human beings are born and the vast majority of them will eventually die.
Between the extremes of life and death, good and bad …
Most of us face a variety of challenges, tests, tribulations and difficult situations in our lives.
Most of us have experienced emotional & physical pain, frustration and a variety of other feelings.
Do not let any situation, past, present or future … distract you from the surpassingly wonderful reality of God, knowing God, trusting God, believing in God and living our lives for God, in accordance to His will.
If we believe in God and the atoning, life-saving sacrifice of His Son Jesus that God made for us through His grace, mercy and unfailing love … and live faithfully in accordance to His will, we shall be saved.
I would like to remind you that human beings were Created by God, in His image.
As believers, we are also adopted into God’s family as His children.
As children of God, let us remember and rejoice that even in this world’s current, fallen state … God is still present and His glory is throughout all the earth and all creation. As Creator & Master of all of creation and the earth … God is able to provide for our needs. With God as our Father in Heaven, who can stand against us?
As we remember our relationship with God … we can see that He is our Provider … why should we worry?
There is no reason for us, as believing, children of God for us to worry about anything … so do not worry.
Instead, in all that you do … trust in God and live for God … as you remember that God, even cares about birds and plants … and if He being infinitely powerful, present, knowledgeable and great … cares about things so temporarily and small … we should be comforted to know that God also cares about us.
God loves you & in your own unique ways He has blessed you …
God loved & knew you before you were born.
I believe that God has set aside special blessings, spiritual gifts and future ability for you …
That are available to you as you begin and continue to live your life for Him and fall into the good plan …
The spiritual destiny, God had in mind when He created you.
My friend, know that God loves you, in spite of yourself …
That it … He knew of the mistakes you would make,
the ‘less-than perfect’ tendencies you (as we ALL in our own ways) have
As you learn to yield your doubts, your fears and walk with God …
As you put aside any things (or even people) that distract you from walking fully, walking faithfully with God …
You will receive and/or becoming increasingly led by the Spirit of God
On our own, we are not capable of believing God … or living lives that are righteous & faithful
With faith in God as we are led by Holy Spirit, we can overcome our human limitations
And live spiritually in love, faith, and faithfulness with thoughts, feelings, words and actions
That are increasingly pleasing to God
Through the Spirit of God, the Power of God, we can be more than conquerors
We can do all things through Christ, who strengthens us.
This may mean many different things to different people but may often include …
Developing new skills & spiritual maturity may provide even great blessings and abilities
Overcoming bad habits, temptations and weakness
Increasing in courage & self-confidence
Greater love for God and passion in living in faithfulness to Him
Healing of physical, emotional and other pain
Positive and practical thoughts about the future
Decreased anxiety and stress about challenges in the present
Wisdom and insights instead of regrets from our experiences in the past
As we begin or continue to believe … led by God instead of trusting in our own abilities
Trusting God and allowing His Spirit, Holy Spirit to transform us into the children of God we were created to be
We can live in purity, in Spiritual power … as approach high levels of spiritual growth & fulfillment in your life
My friend, I encourage you to sow to the spirit … do things that will have a lasting & eternal benefit
Rather than focusing your energy in a futile and useless way … by devoting yourself only to things of this world.
This world is temporary, like human lives in our current, mortal & natural body …
This world in it’s present form will pass away.
As you learn and continue to be lead by the Spirit of God
At first day by day … then as you spiritually mature … learning to walk with God so faithfully …
That every moment of our lives will be lived in a pleasing way in accordance to God’s will …
Your life will continue to improve and you will increasingly learn to be content and happy in all situations …
Remember that life on earth has been both a blessing and a test …
As you life for God … you get nearer and nearer to returning home to be with Him forever.
