"If you want to make a difference for God's kingdom, you first must learn to die to yourself. This is not just a onetime experience, but a daily necessity". Brother Yun.
1 John 4:15-19 #TPT
Those who give thanks that Jesus is the Son of God live in God, and God lives in them.
We have come into an intimate experience with God’s love, and we trust in the love he has for us. God is love! Those who are living in love are living in God, and God lives through them.
By living in God, love has been brought to its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world.
Love never brings fear, for fear is always related to punishment. But love’s perfection drives the fear of punishment far from our hearts. Whoever walks constantly afraid of punishment has not reached love’s perfection.
Our love for others is our grateful response to the love God first demonstrated to us.

Jeremiah 29:13
13)‘Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Revelation 4:1-5 #TPT
Then suddenly, after I wrote down these messages, I saw a portal open into the heavenly realm, and the same trumpet-voice I heard speaking with me at the beginning said, “Ascend into this realm! I want to reveal to you what must happen after this.”
Instantly I was taken into the spirit realm, and behold—I saw a heavenly throne being set in place and someone seated upon it.
His appearance was sparkling like crystal and glowing like a carnelian gemstone. Surrounding the throne was a circle of green light, like an emerald rainbow.
Encircling the great throne were twenty-four thrones with elders in glistening white garments seated upon them, each wearing a golden crown of victory.
And pulsing from the throne were blinding flashes of lightning, crashes of thunder, and voices. And burning before the throne were seven blazing torches, which represent the seven Spirits of God.

John 14:12-14 #TPT
“I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father! For I will do whatever you ask me to do when you ask me in my name. And that is how the Son will show what the Father is really like and bring glory to him.
Ask me anything in my name, and I will do it for you!”

1 Corinthians 10:1-5 #TPT
My dear fellow believers, you need to understand that all of our Jewish ancestors who walked through a wilderness long ago were under the glory cloud and passed through the waters of the sea on both sides.
They were all baptized into the cloud of glory, into the fellowship of Moses, and into the sea.
They all ate the same heavenly manna
and drank water from the same spiritual rock that traveled with them—and that Rock was Christ himself.
Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their dead bodies were scattered around the wilderness.

Colossians 1:9-12 #TPT
Since we first heard about you, we’ve kept you always in our prayers that you would receive the perfect knowledge of God’s pleasure over your lives, making you reservoirs of every kind of wisdom and spiritual understanding.
We pray that you would walk in the ways of true righteousness, pleasing God in every good thing you do. Then you’ll become fruit-bearing branches, yielding to his life, and maturing in the rich experience of knowing God in his fullness!
And we pray that you would be energized with all his explosive power from the realm of his magnificent glory, filling you with great hope.
Your hearts can soar with joyful gratitude when you think of how God made you worthy to receive the glorious inheritance freely given to us by living in the light.

Proverbs 4:5-9 #TPT
So make wisdom your quest — search for the revelation of life’s meaning. Don’t let what I say go in one ear and out the other.
Stick with wisdom and she will stick to you, protecting you throughout your days. She will rescue all those who passionately listen to her voice.
Wisdom is the most valuable commodity—so buy it! Revelation-knowledge is what you need—so invest in it!
Wisdom will exalt you when you exalt her truth. She will lead you to honor and favor when you live your life by her insights.
You will be adorned with beauty and grace, and wisdom’s glory will wrap itself around you, making you victorious in the race.

2 Corinthians 1:4
4)who comforts and encourages us in every trouble so that we will be able to comfort and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Matthew 16:25-27 #TPT
For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep.
For even if you were to gain all the wealth and power of this world—at the cost of your own life—what good would that be? And what could be more valuable to you than your own soul?
I, the Son of Man, will one day return with my messengers and in the splendor and majesty of my Father. And then I will reward each person according to what they have done.

Matthew 16:21-24 #TPT
From then on Jesus began to clearly reveal to his disciples that he was destined to go to Jerusalem and suffer injustice from the elders, leading priests, and religious scholars. He also explained that he would be killed and three days later be raised to life again.
Peter took him aside to correct him privately. He reprimanded Jesus over and over, saying to him, “God forbid, Master! Spare yourself. You must never let this happen to you!”
Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get out of my way, you Satan! You are a hindrance to me, because your thoughts are only filled with man’s viewpoints and not with the ways of God.”
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways.

Matthew 4:19
19)And He said to them, “Follow Me [as My disciples, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of life that I walk], and I will make you fishers of men.”
Proverbs 3:21-26 #TPT
My child, never drift off course from these two goals for your life: to walk in wisdom and to discover your purpose. Don’t ever forget how they empower you.
For they strengthen you inside and out and inspire you to do what’s right; you will be energized and refreshed by the healing they bring.
They give you living hope to guide you, and not one of life’s tests will cause you to stumble.
You will sleep like a baby, safe and sound— your rest will be sweet and secure.
You will not be subject to terror, for it will not terrify you. Nor will the disrespectful be able to push you aside,
because God is your confidence in times of crisis, keeping your heart at rest in every situation.

Proverbs 8:14-21 #TPT
“You will find true success when you find me, for I have insight into wise plans that are designed just for you. I hold in my hands living-understanding, courage, and strength.
I empower kings to reign and rulers to make laws that are just.
I empower princes to rise and take dominion, and generous ones to govern the earth.
I will show my love to those who passionately love me. For they will search and search continually until they find me.
Unending wealth and glory come to those who discover where I dwell. The riches of righteousness and a long, satisfying life will be given to them.
What I impart has greater worth than gold and treasure, and the increase I bring benefits more than a windfall of income.
I lead you into the ways of righteousness to discover the paths of true justice.
Those who love me gain great wealth and a glorious inheritance, and I will fill their lives with treasures.”

James (Jacob) 5:7-11 #TPT
Meanwhile, brothers and sisters, we must be patient and filled with expectation as we wait for the appearing of the Lord. Think about the farmer who has to patiently wait for the earth’s harvest as it ripens because of the early and latter rains.
So you also, keep your hopes high and be patient, for the presence of the Lord is drawing closer.
Since each of you are part of God’s family never complain or grumble about each other so that judgment will not come on you, for the true Judge is near and very ready to appear!
My brothers and sisters, take the prophets as your mentors. They have prophesied in the name of the Lord and it brought them great sufferings, yet they patiently endured.

Psalms 121:1-8 #TPT
I look up to the mountains and hills, longing for God’s help.
But then I realize that our true help and protection is only from the Lord, our Creator who made the heavens and the earth.
He will guard and guide me, never letting me stumble or fall. God is my keeper; He will never forget nor ignore me.
He will never slumber nor sleep; He is the Guardian-God for his people, Israel.
Yahweh himself will watch over you; He’s always at your side to shelter you safely in his presence.
He’s protecting you from all danger both day and night.
He will keep you from every form of evil or calamity as He continuously watches over you.
You will be guarded by God himself. You will be safe when you leave your home, and safely you will return. He will protect you now, and He’ll protect you forevermore!
