System Override
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (LB)

People. People. People.
John 5:7-8 “I can’t, sir,” the sick man said, “for I have no one to put me into the pool when the water bubbles up. Someone else always gets there ahead of me.” Jesus told him, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk!”

Lifted
Acts 4:18-20 “So they called the apostles back in and commanded them never again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, “Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him? We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard.”

By The Spirit

Your story will be that of divine lifting as God Himself will lift you up in the Name of Jesus.

Valuable
Acts 13:36 “…David… passionately served God’s purpose for his generation… doing God’s will by serving the people of his time… completed the work God set out for him…” (TPT, GW, MSG).
As God lifts you from a lower level to a higher level mentally, emotionally, financially, spiritually, and educationally note that Not All Addition Leads To Increase And Not All Subtraction Leads to Decrease. Very often, we are afraid to subtract because we think it will lead to decrease, or we are eager to add because we think it will lead to increase. Read the rest of this entry
