YOU HAVE JESUS—YOU HAVE EVERYTHING!
you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. - Colossians 2:10
When God gave us Jesus, He gave us not just His best, but also everything. We are truly rich because we have Christ, our all in all.
When we have Jesus, we truly have everything. Jesus is our wisdom, our righteousness, our sanctification, our redemption and our success. In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
My friend, when you need wisdom, Christ is your wisdom. When you need righteousness, Christ is your righteousness. When you need sanctification and redemption, Christ is both to you. When you need faith, He is your faith.
When you are fearful of the odds against you, He is your favor. When you are weak, He is your strength. When you are troubled and anxious, He is your peace. When you feel vulnerable, He is your shield. When you are lonely, He is your faithful companion. And when you are sick, He is your healing and health. Jesus, the great I AM says to you, “I AM to you whatever you need Me to be!”
Beloved, you are truly rich because you have Christ. And in Christ you are complete. Don’t wait to have this or that before you feel complete. You are already complete in Christ—your all in all
OPERATING IN YOUR GOD-GIVEN STRENGTH :
'There are diversities of gifts...' 1 Corinthians 12:4 NKJV
Paul writes, 'There are diversities of gifts, but the same spirit.' Successful people invest their time, energy and resources into their core strengths. Why? Because that is where they get their highest return! They occasionally depart from that approach, as Colin Salmon did when he took time out from his successful acting career to take part in BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. Colin, a statuesque, confident actor proved to be less competent in the dancing arena, leaving the show after just five weeks, never receiving higher than 27 points from the panel of judges. He may have enjoyed the experience, but exiting the show so early is probably not what he'd like to be remembered for.
God gave you gifts that make you unique, gifts that hold great possibilities. But you have to discover them and develop them. A sign on a DIY shop says it all: 'We've got it, if you can find it.' Nobody was ever born without talent, including you, but you've got to find it. What keeps us from doing that? (1)The company we keep. The old saying goes, 'If you run around with turkeys, you'll never fly with eagles.' The Scripture says, 'He who walks with wise men, will be wise...' (Proverbs13:20 NKJV) (2) Failing to spend time in prayer and in God's Word. God is not only the giver of your gift, He supplies the strength to function successfully in it.
Aristotle said, 'We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.' So if you want to succeed, consult God, and operate in your God-given strength.

A NEW OUTPOURING
The majority of people throughout Church history never moved beyond their first blessing from God -the salvation experience.Once the average believer gets in a groove,that is exactly where he or she dies.We are creatures of habit.We move ahead in almost everything except God.I think the primary reason is because the devil does not want us to move forward.If God does a new thing,I believe it is time to look into what the Father is doing and move with him.Lets pray and believe for and out pouring of God Spirit upon all flesh in these last Days. I believe the LORD wants to show Himself strong in the body of Christ in these last days, before He take us away.So seek Him now with your whole heart.As it says seek you will find,ask and it be given to you,knock it will be open to you.
