Stormy Waters

by spirit366, posted in Spiritual, Uncategorized

Matthew 8:23-27

A fierce storm had brewed causing the waves to cover the boat. The disciples were over-come  they cried out to Jesus”Lord save us, we are perishing.” Yes, Christians we are perishing is it because as Jesus said to them ” why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Is it because many Christians have little faith or lost their faith? Do Christians still believe the power of God? Have Christians forgotten who they can cry out to?

Jesus arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. The wind and the waves were obedient. Perhaps, if there were more Christians who were faithful and obedient to the word of God the stormy waters in the world today would become a great calm. “O you of little faith, cry out, Jesus save us we are perishing.”

“Faith believes, demonstrates obedience, gives assurance,provides hope, breaks down strongholds, builds relationships,and leads to a better world.”

Prayer

Father, save us we are perishing, we need Jesus, to calm the the stormy waters. Father, restore and strengthen our faith, give us an obedient spirit. Amen

“Who is like you, Lord God Almighty? You, Lord, and your faithfulness surrounds you. You rule over the surging sea; when waves mount up, you still them. ”                                          Psalm 89: 8-9 NIV

Peace,Joy,and Love

 

MY PURPOSE,MISSION,and VISION

by spirit366, posted in Spiritual

Purpose: I love God because He first loved me (1 John 4:19); He made me alive when I was dead in trespasses, walking the course (path) of the world (Ephesians 2: 1,2). God was rich in His mercy and  made me alive in Christ, saving me by His grace (Ephesians 2: 4,5). God gave me a purpose to advance His Kingdom. My desire is to do the will of God; pleasing and glorifying Him in advancing His Kingdom here on earth.

Mission: Reconciling the world (2 Corinthians 5:18) and calling  people back to steadfast devotion and obedience to God and His word ( Jeremiah 16:6); walking accordingly to His commands and ways (Deuteronomy 5:33; Psalm 1; Jeremiah 7:23); leading and teaching them through the power of the Holy Spirit and His inspired word.

Vision: Spiritually minded believers walking in peace (Romans 8:6), glorifying God (1 Chronicles 16: 28, 29); actively serving Him/ others, by sharing His  love (Romans 12:9-13).

My prayer is that God’s purpose, mission, and vision for me, will  advance His Kingdom; reconcile the world, and call people back to Him; encouraging them to be spiritually minded in true devotion and obedience to Him; walking in peace, serving Him, and others in love.

“May the grace of the lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all, Amen.”
