How to get glory honor and peace.
I want glory honor and peace. I really just need His peace. All the rest comes.
“But there will be glory, honor, and peace for every person who does what is good, for Jews first and Greeks as well.”
Don’t be like a dumb animal
“Whoever loves discipline loves to learn,
but whoever hates correction is a dumb animal.”
God’s Word Translation
We are above the animals in intellect. We shouldn’t act like animals otherwise we fall to the level of just wanting to survive and less about our God-ordained plan to thrive.
Challenge yourself to learn and grow each day. Trees never stop growing, their roots go deeper and deeper.
We want to see everyone turn to Jesus
“And some were persuaded by the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.”
We all need Jesus. Knowing that is something we’re born with. When you know the Joy of The Lord, its hard to imagine why someone wouldn’t follow God and His Kingdom. There’s only one way. His name is Jesus!
Our Mission- To Turn People From Darkness To Light
“to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me. ’”
Just Amazed. Japan’s Best Church?
Just Amazed. Japan’s Best Church?
I am just amazed.
Today I heard something I’ve heard for the seventh or eighth time over the last three years. I was told ‘Victory Word Church is the best church in Japan’. When I hear that I think, God you are amazing!
I think to myself, what makes a church so great? The leaders, the church family, the teaching, the miracles that demonstrate Gods power. To me these are all musts in a Spirit-filled, Bible believing, church. If your church is boring, then its probably because they have missed the infilling of the Holy Spirit. We refuse to bore people at Victory. Nor will we get so focused on programs that we forget to regularly feed our inbuilt passion for God.
One year I had the opportunity to visit 17 churches in one region of the untied states. I had this idea that people went to church because they knew God, they saw His miracles, and they got recharged spiritually like I did. I was so disappointed. Of the 17, I would only consider returning to two of those churches. Why? They were mostly dead places full of traditions and ritual. No God, no life.
After that experience, I can now say I understand when someone says, ” Your church is the best church in Japan.” Of course there must be other churches. But I totally agree with them.. We’ve got people who love God, love people and are seeing the demonstration of Gods power in their lives. We need more ‘best’ churches in our nations
Keeping silent?
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. warned, “When we learn the truth but choose to remain silent, that’s when we begin to die.”
Faith is a force
I heard someone say “faith is a force” then someone else jumped on that saying they were a cult leader or something. Silly.
As I watch this year unfold and how God is pouring out His blessing on us as we believe, speak, and act in faith, I am amazed at the results.
Faith is a force and how we connect with the Kingdom in life, besides it’s the only way to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Believe it, talk about it, and act on it.
God is so good!
