TODAY I write history in my life and in the world! LIVE FOR TODAY - Be a participator in today. Not “Once I get closer to God I can…” Or once I understand the Bible better I can…” God walks with us in fullness today – We are connected to God TODAY • The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I (Jesus) came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). Jn 10:10 Amplified Bible
Past Future It is easier to stand in the present
The Father brings moments into our lives which bring us life (even if they seem negative or draining at the time). These moments are chances for us to stop and ask “What are you teaching me through this?” Our Spirits need to hear His response. God will take us through mountains and valleys. We have to have the valleys in order to walk up the next mountain.
The Gospel What caused you to become a Christian; What was the message? Victorious living in ’promised land’ Victims escaping sin
Released to be … But you are a chosen race [generation], a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellences of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 1 Peter 2:9 NASB

A Holy Nation “You or I may be the only evidence that our family, our friends, our work colleagues have that there is indeed a God of love and power… We of all people know how to throw a good party because we of all people should know how to celebrate!” “Our lifestyle should be significantly different and attractive. We should constantly and visibly affect the world about us for good” Grace Turner
A people for God’s own possession We can be a God-possessed people when we activate our Spirits to connect with the Spirit of the Father and live as Son’s of the most high God
