STAND UP AND BE RECOGNIZED...

Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. STAND UP AND BE RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR FAITH! MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN BEFORE ALL THE WORLD AND BEFORE MAN. SHINE WITH THE LIGHT EMBEDDED WITHIN YOU AND GRACED BY GOD HIMSELF. MOVE MOUNTAINS AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD. GOD HAS HIS HANDS ON YOU AND WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN YOUR ALLEGIANCE, HONOR, AND PRAISE. THIS IS YOUR TIME, A TIME LAID BEFORE YOU BY GOD. MAKE HIM PROUD!!!! DO NOT BE ASHAMED BUT YET BE PROUD OF YOUR ABBA FATHER, YOUR SAVIOR AND MAKE HIM KNOWN TO ALL. SHARE THE LIGHT GIVEN YOU WITH ALL YOUR HEART. PRAISE JESUS!!!!

God loves to work on a broken vessel

We who know Christ were all sinners, broken vessels but He saved us by Grace and made us new!

2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"

In our Spiritual walk we stumble, fail, fall but every time we do if we call out to Him, He will pick us up and help us move forward! And we need to thank God for our family, brothers, sisters in Christ who pray us through our weak moments.

HE IS PERFECTING US DAY BY DAY, MENDING US, REFINING US.

1 Thessalonians 5: 23 "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it."

He's moulding and making us into a beautiful vessel of His choice.

He'll refine us in fire. He keep working on us so that the day we see Him, we will be like Him.

1 John 3:2 "Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is."

LET US BE YIELDED VESSEL IN HIS HANDS.

He is The Master Potter, we the clay.

"What the enemy has in his possession he scars because his only agenda is to steal, kill and destroy. But when possession change hands to the Master Potter, Jesus Christ gives a total make over. He knows how to use scarred people. When He gives a make over people will say, "Wow! What happened to you? Who did this to you?"_

Heard Pastor Jentezen Franklin say this on TV.

The "Best Journey" will be the one that takes me "Home"

The "Best Journey" will surely be the one that takes me to my real, everlasting "Home"!

This world is my temporary residence, I am just passing through!

Philippians 3:20 "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,"

Our Lord Jesus Christ said, 
John 14:2 "In My Fathe’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

He said so because He is that way to our home above and to Abba Father!

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

It is a beautiful place for sure!

1 Corinthians 2:9 But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”—

Revelation 22:1-5 "Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever."
Revelation 21:4 "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Matthew 25:34 "Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."

Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

May we be found worthy to enter this eternal Home!
