SPRING FORTH NOW 2023
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
John 14:8-12 (NIV)
At the heart of our Most Favored Status is our willingness to believe. Believing is at the root of our faith in God and who He is. Remember, in the beginning, was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God . . . And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory . . . . Therefore, God and who He is, is His Word, thus, the very promises of God for our lives is God Himself and as we believe, His Word becomes flesh, real in our lives. Having faith in God is only the beginning of our relationship with God which leads to our reflection of Him and reliance on Him to make Him flesh, real in our lives. As the Crown Of His Glory we are challenged in our everyday walking around lives to make flesh, real God and His Word. Fear not the challenges of your life, they are only the impetus for you to believe, to make God's Word flesh, real, and be assured, God is with you, desiring to reflect in and through you Himself, the truth of His Word. Therefore, go ahead and launch out into the deep of your life, your experiences, and step out of the boat to walk on water into your extraordinary experiences making God flesh, real in you and the life of your space.
