Acts 20:28

So little Shepherd, so big King - Keep away the lions, model Christ, and feed the hungry - both bread and the Bread of Life. God paid a massive price for his flock; he will equip you in massive ways to care for them. 

...And they'll know we are Christians by our Love!

"I have appointed watchmen..."

 Relationship with our Father-God bring about deeper faith, strength, healing, all of which we can bring into the world, into our sphere of influence. And remember that no matter how far the trust-fall, God's got the whole world in His hands - so there's nowhere else to fall but into his arms. 

Let us not become complacent in the Yoke of Christ. Though it be easy, it is still a yoke - we are still required to work the fields. The Holy Spirit is ALWAYS moving, so if we don't keep up with Him in our yoke, we're going to get dragged along

Matthew 5:16 - Let your Light shine before men!

Isaiah 55: 6&7 - Seek, Forsake, Return. 

COLOSSIANS 3:
 

Yes we have a New Self, AND we must put it on - we must take action!

If we abstain from that which is not divine, and if we bring forth what is Godly, then His Will is done on earth, through us, and we bear witness to the kingdom that is coming - indeed, that has already begun to manifest, through us, by the grace of the Spirit...

There is nothing that can stop the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This is POWER! 

This is one of those prayers that inspires confirmation, as opposed to supplication. Though it is certainly right to ask God for that which we need, try affirming your need as something that has already been bestowed upon you.

English fails us when it comes to love, giving us a single word to express many forms of enjoyment, fondness, passion, affection, and even lust; because of that, True Love  - God's Love - often gets conflated and misunderstood. So making sure we understand how Bible defines love is helpful indeed. 

THE HIGH PRIESTLY PRAYER

James 1:5

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God,
who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

ISAIAH 12:2

Need some Strength? Bite into the delicious, nourishing Salvation Sandwich!

Philippians 4:12

Paul's Secret to being Content

John 14:23

When the Trinity Moves In...

Isaiah 26:3

Peace, Steadfastness, Trust...as Demonstrated by Job

These words of Paul, in his letter to the believers in Ephesus, are so eloquently written - so filled with hope and love for the church to receive ALL that God truly IS, in Christ Jesus, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. 

Personalize these verses, between you and the Lord. 

Proverbs 3: 5&6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
 In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct you paths.
