Your Word is Spirit and Life

I have this desire to immerse myself in the Word ...

... that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the Word.
Ephesians 5:26

Thank you for Your "Charismatas" ... unmerited gifts ... the gifts of the Spirit ...

And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
Isaiah 11:2

Then comes the fruit ...

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23

Therefore, we are given the Spirit, the Helper, who is there when we face difficulties.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7 

Switching My Focus from Me to Them

The Lord tells me to be on the look-out in helping others instead of drowning in my worries.

A dose of inspiration from Joyce Meyer ...

If we tend to His business, He will tend to ours. We are to concentrate on representing Him properly, which is impossible unless we are walking in love. As we do that, He will give us wisdom to deal with our stresses and deliverance from our foes.

God does not always give us the ability to solve our problems, yet when we are powerless to solve our own, He does enable us to solve someone else's.

I needed to cast my care on the Lord, do what He showed me to do concerning my situations in life, but not get entangled with them. I needed to sow seeds in someone else's life by helping them, and then God would bring a harvest in my own life.

In His Presence

Even going to Him is not of my own endeavor but by His grace.
Here are some of the messages I received ...

Draw near to Jesus.
Know and practice the presence of Jesus.
In His presence, little becomes much ...
weakness becomes strength ...
disease becomes health and life ...
Joseph Prince

In Your presence is fullness of joy ...
Psalm 16:11

I learned to rejoice in God, not in what is doing or not doing for me.
I found it all in His "Presence", not His "Presents".
Joyce Meyer

Tired?

I must not tire of doing my tasks ... here is what Pastor Joseph Prince says ...

Do not look at the pulpit as a place that drains you but a place of empowerment.
You can preach your way back to life, health and wholeness.

I learned that the Number 17 (in the Bible) is the number of Victory.
