Remember the Plan


“And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’” Matthew 28:18-20

“’but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.’” Acts 1:7-8

His Plan is simple: Trust Him. Empty yourself of you. Draw on the power of the Holy Spirit, not your own. Go and witness. Make disciples for Him, not you. Baptise in His name and help others understand the things Jesus did and taught through the way you live out your life.

Nothing seems harder to do! My New Years prayer for myself and for everyone of us is that this New Year brings us so much we never expected but always dreamed of in our relationship with the Lord and that we will stay close to His Word and His will each day!

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
