Need a Lift?

Dead religion and sin consciousness have created an inferiority complex in people, but God loves you and has no intention of putting you down. His great plan is to lift you up out of condemnation and give you a purpose!

If You Know Him, Show Him

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 Can’t Give Away What You Don’t Have

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!

Adjust Your Focus

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!

Recognize Your Worth

Only humanity was created in the image of God. Only humanity was given the right and the ability and the authority to walk with the living God, to speak words as He spoke, to create as He created, and to live as He lived on the earth. Recognize your worth and preciousness to God!

Christ In YOU

According to Colossians 1:27, “Christ now lives in you.” Where is the presence of God? I’m not looking over here or over there, I am relishing His abundance and living in the glory of His love and His life and His Spirit in me right NOW! I come BOLDLY to His throne of grace and receive what I have need of from Him!

Slow Down, Sit Down

Faith to see the miraculous springs from your inner peace. How do we hear and have confidence in our path? The Bible says “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).  Taking time each day to sit quietly with your heavenly Father, listening and waiting upon Him, is the key to developing the intimate, close relationship He desires to have with His children. Internal stillness is where answers come from.

Oh How You Are Loved!

Part of your identification with Christ is understanding how much God loves you. Do you realize that the hairs of your head are counted (Luke 12:7)? That you are inscribed in the palms of God’s hands (Isaiah 49:16)? You’re the apple of His eye (Psalm 17:8)! Meditate on these and the many other scriptures that tell you how precious you, His masterpiece of creation, are to Him. God wants YOU to know that HE LOVES YOU!

Privilege and Purpose

Humanity alone was created in the image of God. Only humanity was given the right and the ability and the authority to walk with the living God, to speak words as He spoke, to create as He created, and to live as He lived on the earth. The desire of every human heart should be to manifest each day the reality of the blessing and privilege we walk in!

A Dynamic Duo

Whatever needs you face today, you’re not facing them alone! Jesus said He will be with you always. The two of you together are an inseparable, supernatural team with unseen resources that the world does not have!
