Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word – it’s full of God’s love, the demonstration of God’s power, truth, and full of instruction for an abundant and fully blessed life. It has warnings, encouragement, examples, principles, commands, promises. But of all the books in the Bible - sixty-six of them. and of all the content therein. If you broke it down. What does God really say – in the Bible? #1) Believe on the LORD Jesus Christ – and you will be saved. #2) Wait… until the Holy Spirit is come on you – and you will receive power to be my witnesses – (to live this life – not in your own strength, but in mine) #3) Love the LORD your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your might and all your mind. #4) Love your neighbor as yourself. #5) Go… into all the world, make disciples, (followers of Jesus) baptize them… and teach them to obey everything I command you. That's the Five. I love that God’s purpose, will and commands are so simple. So how do you believe in the LORD Jesus Christ? Praying that you will review the Relationship Topic - Salvation First. To share with others, and remind yourself. You know this already, but the power of His Word is always a return on your investment. And how do you get filled with the Holy Spirit – Luke 11:13 – Ask And He will do it. Praying you will review the Relationship Topic – The filling of the Holy Spirit. These are the commands that Jesus gave for His disciples. It’s how you come into the Kingdom of God, and walk in the Spirit. Then Jesus mentioned the two greatest commandments. Love the LORD your God with all your heart, and Love your neighbor as yourself. What if people just did that. Justice would reign on earth, kindness would replace contention, agreement would erase division – and would bring God’s blessing - in marriages, families, communities and nations. So if you are commanded to make more of these kind followers – and you have to be one to make one. What's the five for five - five things you can do - to do those Five things. To love God is to obey Him, Jesus made that abundantly clear. It’s what He did, so we could learn how to do it. And He has given us the Holy Spirit – to help us. Praying that these five will help you walk in those five. #1) PiVAT before dinner – helps you love God by obeying the most basic thing each day - His plans for you! And they're good! Obeyers walk in His plans for their day and week, and month – dis-obeyers walk in their own plans – or someone elses. #2) PRISM – helps you think like God thinks – it transforms your mind, and God said as a man thinketh… in his heart… so is he. #3) Your Daily Call – helps you overcome the adversary. God said do it daily – overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of your testimony. #4) Your 4C’s Tool – to give an account - so you know where His money is - so you can do what He tells you to do with it. It's how you know the condition of your flock – it's how you learn to obey financially – to love God more than money – And God said it will either be one of the other. 4C’s won’t mean you’ll get rich, but it does mean you’ll get free! You’ll have more than you need, and enough to share with others. #5) Your PiVAT Small Group - Gathering together to provoke one another to love and good works. Love for God is obeying Him, and good works is what happens when you walk in His plans for you this week. Because that's all God does is good, and if you're walking in His plans, you're walking in His good. Praying that you will review the top five things God requires of us – and that you’ll walk in these five things that help you do those five things. If you have put your faith in the LORD Jesus Christ – your name is written in the Lamb’s book of life. You will live with God in Heaven forever - through His Son, Jesus. If you are filled with the Holy Spirit – you are not living by the flesh anymore, but in God’s power. If you surrender to His control – time, thoughts, money and testimony, in community with others - that’s loving Him with all your heart, that's loving others, considering them more important than yourself, and that's making disciples, who are learning to obey everything He commands them daily. Praying that you will learn to love the simple. That you will walk in the joy He has for you every single day – by simply obeying – walking in His wonderful plans for you – and taking someone else with you! There’s freedom there. There’s joy there. There is always blessing there. Love you all, dad
