We are walking in today: Before I Die, I Gotta Live.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. In John 10:10 Jesus says, that He came to earth so that we "may have life, and.. have it more abundantly." And 2 Corinthians 8:9 says that, for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. Why do you think He wants you to live this full, meaningful, rich life?! Tell the enemy, "before I die, I gotta live!!!" One of my favorite scriptures answers this very question!!! Matthew 5:16 says, let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Jesus is very clear that we should shine. That the life we live should stand out, so when people see it, they'll glorify God. You see, an abundant life is attractive!! It will get the attention of those around you. People will want to know why are you so full of joy, even though you're having struggles. Why are you singing and smiling when there are issues at the office? How can you still praise God when your finances are stretched to the max? What is it about you that draws people to you, that makes you stand out? People will be attracted to the fruit of the Spirit that manifest themselves in your life--love, joy, peace and patience. They will be awed by your gentleness, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control. This is our reason for living through our weekend meditation, I am the righteousness of God. Your abundant life will be a light to the world!!! Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. So here's your answer, an abundant life shines and it speaks volumes!!! Before I die, I gotta live!!!!! Fiveamprayer, let your light will shine before the world!! You should live an abundant life, because abundant living is the ultimate form of reverence, it brings glory to God!!! So, needless to say, the enemy will want to distract you from living this kind of life. He doesn't want you to be a light!!! He wants you to be downtrodden, sad, angry, bitter and unfulfilled. He wants you to be complacent and dissatisfied with your life and he will do whatever he can to make sure you are. So you will have to make a concerted effort to live this life that glorifies God and you will have to protect your abundant life from the negativity that will undoubtedly come. We have to be focused in our faith, as Pastor Thomas taught yesterday. Let's live fiveamprayer!!! Stop acting like life is over!!! We are living in abundance!! We must change our attitudes and our way of thinking to move forward as Pastor Anitha shared with us on Sunday. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. We have a new way of thinking in our living!!! Before I die, I gotta live!!!! God is a God of today!!! Even if you are having hard times right now, know that your best days are ahead of you. 1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. He has paid it all, fiveamprayer--we are brought to life in Christ! The old ways are no longer how you operate!! 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Thank You Lord, for making us new!! Thank You Lord, for giving us a blessed and favored life to live. Nobody but God can and could keep you; bless you; forgive you!! John 4:11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Fiveamprayer, you never know who you will come across, they may see the God inside of you and inquire as the woman at the well did. John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. We can speak His word--Jesus is the word made flesh, He is living water!! There are so many of us that had and have been in desert situations, looking and thirsting for water, until you come across a spring that continues to well up--bubbling forth life, knowledge, understanding, peace, joy and love. Share this living water with all you meet. Bring others to the party of life--show the the world how to really live! No longer in death or the temporary things of the world, but the eternal things of the spirit! Fiveamprayer we are not tossed about on the waves of emotions, we have a steady, constant Rock--on which we stand. The word of the Holy God, Jehovah! You have been through hell and high water--now live before you die!!! Yea and Amen!!!!
Tell the enemy, "I just got started! My Father came that I might have life more abundantly." We serve a living God. Why are you sitting there defeated and depressed. Get up and live, thou He slays me, yet will I trust Him. We will bless the Lord, at all times, fiveamprayer. I'm not gonna give up, nor turn around. The God that I serve, has replaced happiness with joy. He never gave up on us!! Thank You Lord! He is more than an conqueror. It's not over till God says it is over. He came that we may have life more abundantly. We are living in the overplus, taking new territory. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. He has given us joy and strength. He has brought us out of our struggles. We can live, before we die! With one touch from You Lord, we are restored. We serve a living God, fiveamprayer, you have got to live before you die. Thank You for being our living water. The revival last week stirred up somethings. We can live because of who You are. Because of our Father, we can tell the world how we were great during the world's depression. We are not of this world. Thank You Lord, for bringing us out of the world, into Your eternal peace, love and forgiveness. Thank You for renewing us everyday. Thank You for restoring, reviving and renewing us. The Greater One, lives on the inside of us! He came that we would have life more abundantly. We are coming out of disappointment--looking to the spiritual things, not the natural. Thank You Lord for restoring us. We have got to move, don't get stuck. As Pastor Taffe tells us, the miracle is in the motion. Don't give up--fight! Be still and know that He is God. Keep blessing Him. Keep praising Him. He came that we would have live more abundantly. Thank You for reviving fiveamprayer! Now they can walk this out--by faith and not by sight. Have them to walk and the light of God to shine. He came to give us life more abundantly. Fiveamprayer, you better start living! Friday, God told us we are the righteousness of God. If God be for you, than who can stand against you? Why are you worried? Pastor Thomas told us yesterday, that Jesus paid it all-- it is a fixed fight, with God you can never lose. He will never leave us nor forsake us. 1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. Thank You for restoring us with Your forgiveness. A just man fell seven times and got back up. God gives us living water. We must forgive others so that we can be forgiven. We have got to live. Thank You Lord for being our anchor. Thank You for being the Rock we can stand on, when the enemy comes in like a flood. We live because of who our Father is. Keep living fiveamprayer, count it all joy. Say, "I will bless the Lord at all times and His praises shall continually be in my mouth." Press through--before I die, I gotta live. We are living in abundance. God told us that 2011 is our year of abundance--start living like it. You did find out who you are--the sons and daughters of royalty. We can have a regal walk and talk, let us put off the old ways and the old things. You don't see royalty walking with their heads down, with a sad face. We have been redeemed and we receive so many lavish blessings from the Lord. Walk according to who and who's we are! Isaiah 62:3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. This morning God came to tell us to live, fiveamprayer let us live like the royalty that we are! Esther 8:15 And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad. Though the world may discount us, we are not of this world. We are seeking heavenly approval, which is where heavenly reward lies. Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. We are adorned with joy--rejoice fiveamprayer. Clothed in the garments of salvation, washed in the blood! Thank You Jesus. He is the restorer of our souls. Push, press and reach--we are living in abundance, moving forward and coming out. Thank You Lord.
We write in the precious blood: I'm living in abundance.
Welcome to the overflow...
He is worthy! He came to tell us we gotta live. Sometimes depression, sadness and anger try to take us over. Look for joy, not happiness because joy is eternal. We can press on to the mark of the prize of the high calling. We have to move in faith, trusting God. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Thank You Lord. Tell yourself all day today, that I gotta live before I die. We have laid all of those dead things to rest. Old things have passed away, behold all things have become new. Have a blessed day!
