Mish Mash!

These are some thoughts, verses and quotes that I have been compiling for a while. And I thought I'd share :)

2 Corinthians 12:1-10
As we seek after God, he will empower us, break us, then build us back up, so our humility stays in contact. But he will bless us beyond what we think.
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21

You have to "walk in the light" of the vision that has been given to you. -Oswald Chambers

Jealousy
-human jealousy is an emotional response (it's relational). It is out of passion and ones self, born out of insecurity, mistrust, and fear.
-God's is a creator/creation desire for goodness. It's a compassion jealousy. He wants you to experience his love for you.

Love
-There are 4 kinds of love ~ the one that is most talked about is the affection love, which is storge in Greek. The other three are agape, phileo, and eros.

Hate
means to passionately disliking someone; to feel extreme aversion or hostility; detest.
-The word hate is thrown around so much, and yet God has so much intense stuff to say about it. Why take it lightly if He doesn't?

Everything that is NOT of faith is sin.

"Now FAITH is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
Hebrews 11:1

The joy of the Lord can be so evidenced in us that we will be filled with God and able to rebuke the devil. -Smith Wigglesworth

Lord, let prime mover of my thoughts be you.

Overcoming~by the Grace of God

What does it mean to be a Biblical overcomer?
Titus 1:1-5

The answer: 1 John 5:4-5 "for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God."

YOU are an overcomer of the world!
Betcha didn't know that, huh? It's pretty kewl.

We are each a dynamic expression of Jesus.
Today Jesus told me that He wants me to be that dynamic expression and not worry about how other people do it. No one is exactly like me and He has placed in me each desire, each love, each joy, for a specific purpose. How he desires me to love is specific for who he has made me to be.

Nehemiah 8:10
"Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Speak victory over your struggles!

You know when you're at that point where you just cry out to God that He is all you have left. I can just imagine God looking at us and being like, "Yeah, all you've got left is the
Creator of Universe. How do you think that is gonna work out for ya?" Silly humans. We always let ourselves think that just having God is a bad thing. Well, it's not. Not at all in fact :) God is all we've got left ALL the time.

I want to ooze Jesus. But each person has their own color of ooze. That is part of our dynamic expression of Jesus, oozing Him in a different way then the next guy. It's GOOD to ooze Jesus in a different color than your friends. It shows how individual and unique you are to Him. He has done that with a beautiful purpose in mind. And it's great, cause we know that God has not just flippantly made us, He has a plan for us, whether we know it at this point or not. He does, and that's what matters.

Go God!



So after all of my mish mash, how are you gonna be the dynamic expression of Jesus that you are today? Don't hold back, don't be afraid. Just be Him that way He has created you too!
