KINGDOM TEXT XVIII
Once you have experienced God in action in your life, there is "No Going Back". Going forward, you will always turn to Jesus for His love and power which is perfected in your weakness and in your desperate need.
Submitting to God's timing requires faith, patience, trust and courage. Please know that God is good, that He loves you beyond your understanding and that nothing is impossible for Him to do. Be at peace as His Master Plan unfolds. Be wise and see how God unravels complex webs woven by your imperfect world and how He makes all things work for good for those who love Him and who live according to His purpose.
Instead of taking revenge, we need to forgive and place the situation in the hands of God, the ultimate judge. Forgiveness is not saying the one who hurt you was right. Forgiveness is knowing that God is faithful and just. "Wait for the LORD, and He will make all things right." Proverbs 20
Jesus fills us with the Holy Spirit who gives us unique spiritual gifts (abilities that exceed the physical norm) to bring others to Him.
We must discover and practice using our assigned gift(s): service, giving, teaching, mercy, support, leadership, encouragement, faith, healing, prophecy, word of knowledge, word of wisdom, discerning spirits, miraculous powers, government, speaking and interpretation of tongues.
In the same way Jesus multiplied the few loaves and fishes that the young boy gave Him to feed thousands, Jesus takes the little that we give from our joyful hearts and He multiplies it more than we'll ever know. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He is proud of us and He will magnify the effects of the little things we do for others. Whenever we do it for the least of these, we do it for Him.
If we really knew God, then all we would want to do is glorify Him as Jesus does and as the angels do. We were created to glorify God. Glorifying God means to acknowledge His greatness and give Him honor by praising and worshipping Him, telling others about the good things He has done for us, primarily because He, and He alone, deserves to be praised, honored and worshipped. we give glory to Him by being obedient to Him, by loving Him, by trusting Him, by realizing that without Him we are nothing, by always wanting to be in His presence because we enjoy being there, by realizing that it is NOT about us but that it is ALL about Him and how we can serve Him. God’s vast universe of glory far exceeds our limited (grain of sand) understanding.
