You have everything you need!

I am read a book right now called "Getting your life on Target" by Steve Austin. A very helpful and insightful book designed for those of us who need the dumbed up version of how get in tune with God and to live for Him with victory and joy! Get a copy and call him to come speak at your church, you won't be disappointed! Last night I read this verse as I was reading the book, check it out:2 Peter 1:3

3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,



Wow! I hope you caught this part: "His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness". If you have received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life, you immediately were indwelt with the Holy Spirit, which in turn gives you everything you need to live a victorious life, and most importantly a godly life! Makes me want to SHOUT!



How is your life right now? Are you happy in Jesus, living day to day the victorious abundant life? Or are you defeated and struggle to get through each day and just plain down? The good news is you don't have to live that way, God's Word says He has provided all we need to live the victorious life full of joy and happiness. Look at this verse:



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



Did Jesus lie? No way!!!! He said we can have abundant life, and that my friends is not the life many are living. So how, well to dig real deep in this subject get the book I mentioned above! (Thats a plug for my brother Steve..Ha!) But to make it as simple as I can, look at the verse again of 2 Peter 1:3, "through the knowledge of him". To live the victorious joyful life God offers you must have a deep knowledge of God. Get in the Word and learn about our heavenly Father, His love for you, His promises, and what He desires for your life. Did you catch that? WHAT HE DESIRES FOR YOUR LIFE! Not what you think, what God thinks! This is key, without total surrender of your life, the victorious, joy filled life is impossible!



Thank God, He have given us all we need to live a godly, joyful, and productive life for His glory!!!! Are you ready? It really is all up to you! Go for it! You won't be disappointed I promise!
