Message moments really ministered to me the past weeks and months

Just having the opportunity to share what we go through during the week. I just thank God for the revelation that He brought to us, and I just thank God for the Word that He brings to us.

It is really so amazing that we have this opportunity, as a people, to talk about it. It’s so cool to hear every time, every single time,it is so cool to hear what other people have to say about what the Lord brought to them. It’s so great to hear what the Lord brought to other people in the church from the same message.

It was so cool to hear Luke and Esther share, because in them sharing, they also shared part of their journey. You could see the way the Word is in them, and the Word was speaking through them, because that’s what they live, and that’s what they live their life by.

What specific points stood out to you, and why?

Ester

So Ester shared: when I seek Him, I can make my wants and my needs known to Him. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. He is what I hope for. He is my reward. He is my order. His order is my reward. He is my reward because, in His order, we have the reward.

In being close to Him, you will not lack, obviously. When you diligently seek Him, He is your reward. Then He will be your faith, your finances, your blessing in relationships, etc.

It is a journey, and we have to walk this faith journey with Him. We have to let Him rule over us, because when we obey His Word, we are letting Him rule over us.

It’s really just great, and we really have such an amazing spiritual leader, that is Pastor John. He is not a king, he is a man following God. And I follow him as he follows Christ, so that he can lead me to the King of Kings.

So yeah, it was so cool, because in the first few months of my ixchange journey, that has been the main message to me, to have that personal relationship with God.

I just thank God, because yes, I’m not perfect, and yes, I need help, but He is my reward. When I seek Him, and when I’m searching for Him, and when His Word is the order in my life, then His order will come. His way of doing things, when I do things His way, His order will come.

That’s not me just living in my own strength. It’s actually me living with Him, because yeah, that’s the point of life. The point of my life is to have a relationship with the Father.

I’m just grateful for such an amazing servant leader.

Luke

Luke said that in our obedience, God has new things for us, one step at a time. If you will obey God in one step, He will lead you into the next step.

That is so true, because it’s not me trying to figure it out always and trying to run the Kingdom of God with the world’s system’s rules. No. To actually live in the Kingdom of God, I have to live in the rules and the order of the Kingdom of God.

When I obey God and His Word and live in His order, then the new things that He has for us (for Him) will come, one step at a time.

I don’t have to be perfect. It’s God working in me, His great grace, His can-do power in me to overcome. So, praise the Lord, I am just grateful.

He also said, rather be slow than fast. Don’t make it happen for yourself. You just need to seek.

It’s not in my strength that I want to do things. I don’t have to rush things in my own strength. All I have to do is seek.

So I’m just grateful.

Thank you, Father, for this amazing, amazing time that we had with You. And I just praise the Lord for all the people that He has called me to.
