2 Timothy 1:1-14 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
When Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit to be our companion, He did not say it to tell us He is sending a policeman to watch our every step…
He said it to show us what He is giving us is more powerful than anything we have – the power to change things!
The disciples saw the power of the spirit when they went out to spread the gospel – draw on that power and live with it!

Psalm 111:2 Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.
Those people who know God, know how great He is and can delight in what He does for us…
But, unless a person gets to know God, how will they know about Him or be able to delight in Him?
We need to actively go out and invite people in to learn more about Christ...

Galatians 1:22 I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
Do you try to get noticed in church? Do you make sure people get to know you?
Just who are you promoting when you go to your church?
Christ warns us to submit as servants for a reason. We don’t need to be the best known person in our church – we just need to show people the way to Christ!

Acts 20:10 Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his arms round him. ‘Don’t be alarmed,’ he said. ‘He’s alive!’
What do you think faith looks like? Faith looks like stepping forward and doing something trusting Christ will answer your prayers!
We don’t have to have 100% faith, but we do have to believe Christ is capable of answering prayers and He will do so when asked – this is what He promised us!
Exercise your faith by showing others you trust in Christ to answer your prayers...

Tell yourself today to trust in Him and listen out for instructions!

Psalm 111:4 He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and compassionate.
One of the amazing things about God’s Word is how it is remembered by so many and retold by so many.
Over thousands of years the scriptures have been remembered and retold so we can all get to know the truth.
This is because God has compassion for us and is gracious to show us the way!

Galatians 3:22 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
The Word of God shows us the righteousness in our lives and also the sin.
Because of God’s Word we know our sins are real.
Because of Jesus Christ we know our sins are forgiven!

Luke 17:16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him – and he was a Samaritan.
Have you ever had someone who is not a church goer put you to shame by doing something righteous when you have overlooked the issue?
We all have our moments when we get into trouble because we are scared of what is happening or because we are scared to take action.
God will give us the strength and resolve to do things when we trust Him and His guidance!

Psalm 113:6 who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?
Have you ever thought of God as being a God who looks after the righteous and ignores the sinners?
Have you ever realised you are a sinner and God still seems to look out for you?
God is the one who reached down to offer us a helping hand even though we did not deserve it!

Psalm 119:44 I will always obey your law, for ever and ever.
When we say we are going to obey God’s laws, we need to do what we say we are going to do.
By saying we will and never getting round to doing it, we are lying to God as well as to ourselves and others.
Following God’s law goes a whole lot further than just doing what is righteous – think before you promise God!

Luke 11:46 Jesus replied, ‘And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.
One thing God does not call us to do is to place burdens on people’s shoulders by reminding them they are sinning all the time.
God wants us to shed light into people’s lives and allow Him to show them the sin instead.
It is our task as disciples to spread the gospel message and shed the light, inviting people in to learn more about Him together.

Psalm 98:4 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music;
One of the things we do not do enough is to acknowledge God in our lives!
Worship songs, singing, music and poetry are a few of the ways in which we can give God the glory.
If you are like me and can’t sing too well, can’t play music and can’t write poems, then we can simply talk to Him more.
Let God know how you feel!

Psalm 33:4 For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
How is it that the Word of God continues to be one of the top selling books, if not the top selling book…
God wants us all to be able to get to know Him through His Word and the more mankind looks into it, the more we believe it to be the truth.
God has made sure it is available to anyone who wants it… men stop this from happening where they can because of things like pride and greed!

God wants us to trust Him in every aspect of our lives.
Jesus promised us the Holy Spirit so we can go forward confidently with Him in every part of our lives.

2 Timothy 4:2 preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage – with great patience and careful instruction.
One of the things God tries to teach us is to be patient with telling others about Him…
It is not a simple thing to turn your life around and believe in Jesus after not doing so.
Be patient and continue giving people encouragement and the truth.

Have you ever tried to get into someone else’s party without an invitation? It doesn’t work!
This is why Jesus sent out the ultimate invitation to every single one of us when He came to live amongst mankind.
Now we can gladly and assuredly enter into His domain knowing we have the invitation to be there!

Who has the right to rejoice that Christ in in their lives?

It may be hard for the sea to shout out, but it does in many ways!

We all like to be weather-people in the UK, saying we know best what the weather is going to be like today or tomorrow…
But we are too scared to talk about what God is going to do!
Draw closer to God today and allow Him to guide you closer so you can know His will in your life!
