a missional prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where
there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is
sadness, joy.

St. Francis of Assisi

THE MISSION AND THE JOURNEY

Tap In

We exit 1 Thess. two with one last thought found in V.13.

When the true believers recieved the Word of God as truth and not from man, it found it's way into their heart only to work it's self out powerfully.

There is a lot nonsense in the world today.It would be hard pressed to number all of the philosophies, ideal's, and religions that dominate societies culture. It is almost as if the world is spinning in circles with so many belief systems, all of which point a way to some form of life or tranquility, or promise.

The Bible states in Ecclesiastes 3 that God has placed eternity into the hearts of man. This explains that man's great search began from the point of conception.

One man once said that every road leads to God, but only one road leads to heaven.

The Apostles had truth. The Apostles spoke truth, and desired only to be pleasing to God while doing so. Thankfully, the truth prevailed powerfully into the hearts that would recieve it, but not to everyone.

When one believes in the inspired Word of God, they become infused with the knowledge of truth, then powerfully transformed into the image of God through a process called sanctification. The truth of God is the cause for the transformation, and, one cannot not bear fruit if undertaken by it's power.

Seek to tap into Gods Word today and allow it to drive you into His presence. At that very moment you will find, like the believers in Thessalonica, a powerful transforming process begin in your heart, that will never dissappoint.

Tap In...
