"Visible Results!"

 

"Living by HIS Powerful Example!"

 

1 Thessalonians 1:5-10 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)

For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we were among you for your benefit, and you became imitators of us and of the Lord when, in spite of severe persecution, you welcomed the message with the joy from the Holy Spirit. As a result, you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. For the Lord's message rang out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place that your faith in God has gone out, so we don't need to say anything. For they themselves report about us what kind of reception we had from you: how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead —Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

The Apostle Paul wrote of how the believers in Thessalonica had converted from serving manmade idols, to living a life of Joy and with Power as they served the True and Living God that created all things, including man!

Their Faith, as well as my faith in God is evident, by receiving Power through Holy Spirit, that is a visible example of the transformation which takes place when God is served and worshiped, instead of lifeless idols made by human hands.

The Lord's message must be lived each day, and HIS WORD must be spoken repeatedly, into and over every situation that comes about in my life.

I must continue to speak HIS message of HOPE, Joy and Victory, and live by the example of Christ, for that is a report that will please HIM!

 

O'Lord, move upon my life in a Powerful way,
that by YOUR Spirit I will have Victory today!
Show me more of YOUR Glory and Might,
which will light my path both day and night!!
For YOU alone are able to save me,
and only YOU will I Trust and Obey !!!

 

Forever and Amen!!!
