Jesus told us to go into all the world as His representatives. Where you go, He goes. Even as He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). That doesn’t mean that you’re Jesus, it means you represent His power. If you can’t present His power, then all you’re giving the world is another philosophy!

You and I are created to be connected to the greatest factory of ideas that ever existed. We were created in the image of the One who has a supernatural reservoir of inspired possibilities!

God is FOR you! He gave you the gift of eternal life so you would have peace of mind about your future.  He breathed into you part of Himself so you would have awareness of His presence. He gave you the name of Jesus so you would have authority over all evil spirits. He gave you His promises for every area of your life so you would know His best for you. God is not hard, He is benevolent and HE LOVES YOU!

If we don’t learn to look at our circumstances and situations through the eyes of faith, we will only see our need. Faith doesn’t look at the need, faith looks at the seed of God’s Word as the supply for every situation!

If we spend most of our time begging God to do what He’s already done, and the rest of the time asking Him to do what He’s told us to do, what have we just done? Nothing! Ask yourself today, are you a beggar or are you a believer?

Scripture says we are to “love others as we love ourselves” (Mark 12:33, author’s paraphrase).  Maybe the reason there is so much harsh treatment of others is that people hate themselves. They don’t have an understanding of how deeply God loves and values them, and as a result feel less-than and condemned most of the time. They can’t give to others what they don’t have, so they project that same attitude toward those around them!

If all you can think about is yourself, then your thinking is very small! When you place your cares, concerns and hurts in the hands of Jesus, then you’re free to focus on ministering to the cares, concerns and hurts of others. What Jesus has done for you is now your privilege to do for others!

We live in an unseen kingdom. All around us is a world invisible to the natural eye. If you are born of God by faith in Jesus Christ and He is your Lord, then His Holy Spirit lives in you and your spirit is alive to God’s guidance. You don’t have to fall for external appearances or the manipulations of men. You have every right to live Kingdom life!

Remember that regardless of how difficult the crisis is that you may be facing, DON’T GIVE UP! God WILL guide you in your everyday affairs. He is committed to you more than you could ever commit to Him!

Faith is the atmosphere in which the Lord has chosen His people to live.  If you’re sick, you have the ability to see yourself whole by faith in God’s Word that shows it is His will for all to be healed. Likewise, if you’re poor, by faith you have the ability to see beyond your poverty to God’s will for your abundance!
