When you have encounters with God, hear the voice of God and allow the Holy Spirit lead you, that’s where the action is, and that is how you discover the abundant life that Jesus Christ died for.

Jesus breaks all the rules of how to do ministry in this story. It is a good reminder that there are no formulas when it comes to ministry and how to minister to others.

When you trust in Jesus and realize what close to 140 scriptures say about who we are and what Christ makes possible when we are “In Christ,” it should do something to you. It should change your perspective on life. It should make you grateful with an overwhelming spirit of gratitude and devotion to the “One” who makes all this possible.

If you don’t know who you are “In Christ,” you will never know what your purpose is and where you are headed. The moment you get into your spirit what your real and true identity “In Christ” is, you will soon discover your purpose and always know where you are headed.

He stood by you even when others gave up on you. He was a friend when you had no friends. He was your comfort when you needed healing. He was the lover of your soul when you felt unloved. He was your reason for being and why you kept on keeping on because He never gave up on you! He was your confidence in your doubts. He was your right mind when you felt like going crazy.

If there was ever a time for us to encourage one another and stay in community it is now. For some of us, the time between Christmas and New Years Day is a time of despair, disappointment, loneliness, and even grief. For others, it is a time of great joy and happiness. Some of you are on top of the mountain. Some of you are in the valley. One thing is for certain. We all need each other during the holidays.

The Holy Spirit is the source for our peace. It’s where we get our peace and that peace is always available through an abiding walk with Jesus that empowers the Holy Spirit to pour out that peace when we humble ourselves in full surrender to the Lordship and leadership of Jesus Christ.

When you lead according to His principles and His kingdom agenda, you free others around to be what they were created to be as well.

Yet when you don’t, you invite a world of chaos, disorder, and destruction not only into your own life, but also into the lives of those within your influence.
