New Year's Eve 2023

Message

In 2024, take Action Steps towards walking in freedom and abundance in the Lord, being transformed from one degree of glory to another by the Spirit.
 
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. 2 Cor. 3:17-18

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10

And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. Luke 2:52
 
  • Spiritual: For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
  • Relational :Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31, Eph. 5:25, Heb. 10:24-25
  • Mental: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2, Psalm 101:3, 2 Cor. 10:5
  • Physical: Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Cor. 6:19-20, 1 Tim. 4:7-8, Prov. 21:5
