John

It’s one thing to look objectively at the facts of Christianity. It’s quite another thing to open your life to the blessed Spirit of God and let Him prove to you that God is real.

When God leads you through something that’s rough, beloved, look up, and say, “Lord, I’m doing this for Jesus. I’m sharing it with Him and I want you to get glory out of it, that God might be glorified.”

Turn to Jesus. He’s waiting there, just outside the grave – He’s alive today and He wants to call your name and reveal Himself to you

It brings great comfort to my heart because I’m often perplexed about the next steps. But all you have to do is obey God one step at a time.

If you want to make a difference in your world, you better go the extra mile and make the extra effort – motivated not by duty, only by the consuming love you have for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Take all of that to your heart and take courage as you begin again to live for your Lord. Let your light shine, let the Spirit of God pour love out of your heart and see what God will do – even in painful situations.

You stay in the presence of your Lord until your heart is filled with His love as the Holy Spirit drips it in to your own heart. I can guarantee you that when you rise from your knees, you will be led into some helpful activity to obey God.

The ministry is your process of sharing God with people at the point of their need. That grows out of the concept that we were just talking about your good works glorify God.

Have you ever gone through a day thinking to yourself, “What good thing can I do for people?” You’d be surprised how many opportunities you will find, if you have that kind of a frame of reference for your thinking, as you go on through a day.

The Lord is evident in many things that you do. It’ll get out. So you just go on living for the Lord Jesus Christ and when there is a chance to speak up for him and God gives you an open door, then walk in it.
