Everyone Gets To Play

Without love we are just noise!

Christians can behave badly. This doesn’t mean they are not believers. We are by nature a sinful people. We are most concerned about our own well being. How do we go from caring only about ourselves to caring for others? By the power of Holy Spirit.

You don’t need more of Holy Spirit…He needs more of you!

All who open the door to Him… will receive Him. When you receive Jesus you receive the whole of the Trinity. Holy Spirit is our constant companion, a gentleman, we need to listen closely to Him to discern His voice. 

God is love! 

God is right now putting into alignment those things that will affect your life for many  years. His involvement in our life is a miracle. Our very existence is a miracle of God. Everything, every little thing, is under His control. His agenda is bigger than our wants and needs. His agenda is to take His love to all who will listen. Lean in to His intuitions.

Every breath we take is His  gift!

1 Corinthians 13:1-8

13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

We grow by hearing the Word of God and allowing Holy Spirit to teach and guide us in the way of Jesus. 

1 Corinthians 12:4 

There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

The tools (equipment) we need are supplied by the gifts of Holy Spirit. We are imbued with power to accomplish God’s will by Him.
