Deviation Actions
Jesus loves you apart from your actions. Yes, it is good to do good things. And Jesus wants to be involved in every aspect of your life, so part of your relationship with Him is to enjoy working side by side with Him in your ministry and whatever He has given you to do. But know that even if you never did any work for Him, He would still love you and care for you and be part of your life.
You are a child of God because of what Jesus accomplished for you. Not because of anything you accomplished on your own. Some people worry and feel bad because they know they are supposed to be involved in ministering to others somehow, but they don't feel like they are living up to their full potential, or maybe they don't feel like they are accomplishing anything for God at all, and so they feel like maybe God is angry at them for not doing what they are supposed to do. But Jesus died so that you could have eternal life (John 3:16), Jesus died so that you could have a relationship with Him (Jonn 17:3).
You were created for love and relationship, first and foremost with God. Understand that this is your first priority, and only then you will be able to reach your full potential in whatever amazing things He has assigned for you to do here.
1 John 4:10 says that we love because God first loved us. We cannot love others like God loves if we are not receiving love from God who is the very source of love (1 John 4:8). You can't dish out what you don't have. So let God love you. Realize that you are His precious child, not an employee. It's not about what you do. You are a human being, not a human doing. And your being is God's beloved child. God created you as an object of affection, not a workhorse. Yes, working for God and advancing His kingdom can be a wonderful part of your love relationship with Jesus. But the more you realize that you are His beloved first, the more successful you will be in this area of ministering to others.

Invite to LIVE online bible study!
I'd like to invite everyone viewing this page to join me for a bible study that I attend. This bible study is live streamed on facebook and youtube, so no matter where you are in the world, you can listen, watch, and interact.

And of course, if you are near the area, you can come see us in person too.

"...the miracle of Ah Kei's healing was repeated with several of his friends. Jean took Ah Kei to the Hilton to get his hair cut, and there he ran into his old friend Wahchai, whom he had introduced into the crime rackets years earlier. Ah Kei persuaded him to come back to the Willanse's flat and we had an impromptu meeting. During the meeting, I had a message in tongues, but there was no interpretation. As St. Paul says, there has to be an interpretation every time someone has a message in tongues, so we waited and waited but no one spoke. Finally, Wahchai admitte
Who Are You?
Who you are is more important than what you do.
"Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come.”

“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.”

2018
I was thinking about how it is now 2018, and that it has been 8 years now since I got baptized in the Holy Spirit.
A quick Google search for the meaning of he number 8 in the bible will yield the results; "The number eight in the Bible signifies Resurrection and Regeneration. It is the number of a new beginning. Eight is 7 plus 1 and since it comes just after seven, which itself signifies an end to something, so eight is also associated with the beginning of a new era or that of a new order. In the bible one can find many examples which bring forth and which associate the number eight with a new beginning".
God wants to use you.
Maybe you
