God has given us all so very much - more than most of us realize. Let us all join in prayer that this year will be a year of a new and more powerful expression of God in His people. He has filled us with the fullness of His power, He has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, and He longs to shine His light and love through all of us.
May this New Year be a time when the people of God, Christians, the followers of Christ, start putting to use the gifts and power and love that He has already put in us - those things that He has already given us. So many pray for and cry out for that which the Lord has already put in us. This is not about being presumptuous, this is about starting to express and use what He has already given to us.
It would be fantastic if more of us would simply start taking Him at His word - if we did we could start seeing a glimpse of what the greater works are that He talked about in John 14:12.
One of the ways we can start that is to start sharing and expressing the powerful and exciting visions and dreams and hopes the Lord has put in your hearts. Paul talks about the grace of God which worked in Him. We all have gifts and graces that the Lord has invested in us, so let's let Him express Himself in us and through us in a new way this year.
Matt 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Eph 3:20
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us
Col 1:29
To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.
Phil 1:6 Amp
And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.
Looking for an exciting New Year in 2008.
Blessings to all
Jay
