You are ONE with the LORD, NOW GO Pursue your Passion!

Beloved, you have the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead in you and on you. You do not need any other "special anointing", what you need is an understanding of what you already have in you and the boldness to live accordingly. You are one with the Lord in spirit, no "special anointing" whether double or triple portion even comes close:

But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. - 1Cor 6:17ESV

Child of God, get this...you're not seeking, you're not struggling, you're not groveling before God, your Abba Father asking to be blessed. He has already blessed you with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in His Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places - Ephesians 1:3 ESV





You see beloved, in Christ you have everything you would ever need for life and godliness. We will do well to learn and appropriate what Christ Jesus has made available to us when He reconciled us to God through His crucifixion, death, resurrection and ascension.
  

You are first and foremost a beloved son (or daughter) of God before you are a servant. As a son and daughter you belong in the Family of God; you are free to walk in all the good works that He has already prepared for you to walk in.

In the natural our children, in our families, are free and encouraged to pursue different activities and interests (wholesome of course). And it's no different with God and His kids, His family. So beloved, do not be afraid to go after what you're interested in or feel you're being drawn to (again...wholesome),  chances are that desire is from God's Spirit in you and could very well be your calling beckoning you...whether it's business, or the arts, or politics, or the sciences,  or ministry...you get the idea... 
I'm convinced that one of the ways the knowledge of God is going to fill the earth as the waters cover the seas is through sons and daughters of God infiltrating and influencing all areas of life. There is no area that is off-limits. Remember, anywhere and everywhere you are, you are the light and the salt of the world.  

Go on, let your light shine, pursue your passion, impact lives for Christ and your Father will be glorified!

Your WORDS reveal YOU

Beloved, words are powerful, they express one's thoughts and belief's. We speak what is in our minds, didn't Christ our Lord rightly say "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks"? 
We speak what we believe, as the Good Book says "we believe, therefore we speak"

The Scriptures have a lot to say about words. 


We are responsible for our words, no wonder the apostle Paul admonished the Ephesian saints thus:


 29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. – Ephesians 4:29 NKJV

And the writer of Proverbs lets us know that:

21Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. - Proverbs 18:21 ESV

So beloved, every time you speak, you are either speaking life or death, blessing or cursing, grace or corruption, you get the idea 

Now since words express what's in one's heart, the solution is not to try and sensor yourself or take a vow of silence, or try any weird tricks, no, no no...far from it! To attempt that would only get us so far, as all self help efforts do, only to be followed by feelings of guilt and condemnation. And the enemy will have a field day in our lives. Let's not be ignorant of his devices. 

Yes, we are responsible for our words and the good thing is, we have the Spirit of God in us and as we spend time with the Lord in prayer and in studying the Scriptures and in meditating on our Father and His goodness, our minds are renewed and our thinking is transformed. The result? Our speech and conduct will naturally, as it were, begin to reflect Him who is the Desire of the nations. 

Remember, you have God's Spirit in you, so reflecting Him is as natural to you as breathing. Learn to live in and from your New Nature. 

You are already blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus, now let your conversation reflect that!
