"You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the exellencies of HIM who has called you out of the darkness into HIS marvelous light; for once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy" (1 Peter 2:9-10)
Ever felt like you have an "undiscovered" purpose for your life, there must be more or something is missing in me?
The bible says that if you know Christ you will know his voice. All he really wants is for you to have a close and personal and real relationship with him.
Many people struggle with hearing from GOD. The key to this principle is to understand that GOD is not limited by your hearing. He WILL SPEAK TO YOU IN WAYS THAT YOU DO HEAR. He wants you to spend time with him.
What does your heart desire? What do you love? What are your passions? When you spend time quietly considering the things that make you happy and they are not destructful to you, then this could be GOD telling you about his plan for you!
We want to hear from you. What is your dream? Do you have a deep heart desire that you could use some help with? Email us and we will send you information that could help you discover your HEART'S DESIRE. INFO@MARK541.COM
I got this word from God this week when listening to Pastor Jeff Wickwire. This is a common biblical principal. Wickwire was preaching on the stewardship of our spiritual gifts and used the example of the miracle Christ performed when he fed the masses with the little boy's lunch of five loaves and two fishes. Jesus first inquired about their money. When he was told there was not enough money, (and I feel like this is pointed out to teach us that we must not try to solve our problems with money), then Jesus asked if anyone had food. He took the lunch of the little boy, HE BLESSED IT, HE BROKE IT AND IT MULTIPLIED.
In our lives, he calls us, he breaks us then he multiplies.
It is the principal of seeds and nature growing. Seeds are gathered, blessed when planted, broken, then they grow (multiply). It is the principal of investing, money is gathered, broken or divided, and if it has been BLESSED, it will multiply. It is the principal of how WE GROW IN THE LORD. He calls us, he breaks us then we grow. We grow in our witness, we grow in our faith, we grow in our ministry, we grow in our character, we grow in our ability to clearly understand his will for our lives, we grow in our love for others, our mercy grows, and our dependence on HIM grows.!
KATE BECKINSALE, 32 actress, opens up about her teen eating disorder in the July issue of Allure magazine.
She admits, "I [wish] I had had a sensible magazine article to have read at the time from someone who was actually intelligent.
"I never really talked about that, actually. [But] when I was around 22 or 23, I decided I'd mention it because I decided I was one of the few people I knew who had that problem who didn't remain a freak about it."
She dropped down to 70 lbs at her lowest weight and added, "It's really more about fixing up your life instead of eating or not eating."
