Filled with Hope

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. I love the beginning of the year because it's the start of new adventures and goals for many people that feel they could have done some things differently the prior year or they just have an urge to try something new. The change in the calendar isn't the only time to begin a new thing but it does tend to motivate cultures of people to finally jump start their exercise plan, weight loss program, bible study, relationship building and many more positive changes they need to make in life. As a pastor, I'm always hopeful that Believer's will begin to take their relationship with Christ to the next level in their journey with God. Josh and I know this year we have to get many things in order for our teams at church so they can flow easily and continue training leaders to do the work of the gospel. We truly believe this year is going to be phenomenal for the Kingdom of God! As we see more Christians stepping up and doing their part in the Body of Christ, nothing can stop the move of God that is coming! Obedience is key! Obedience is your breakthrough for blessing! Know your power and authority in Christ. No matter what trials face you, your future looks bright! If your present isn't looking so well, please look from a new perspective. I know many people are in circumstances that aren't even close to what they desire for life but when you prioritize Jesus, you are on the right path for a turnaround. Don't give up now and allow the devil a win, you are victorious! The battle has already been won, enjoy this season and trust in God for your provision! Ecclesiastes 3:11 (AMPC) He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men's hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. Matthew 28:18-20 (TPT) Then Jesus came close to them and said, “All authority of the universe has been given to me. Now wherever you go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you. And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.”
