He IS Your Purpose-
Do you realize you ARE IN HIM-
What does that mean-
It's been my desire as Your Pastor to get you to know WHO YOU ARE-
God not only forgives,
He restores.
He makes you whole.
He puts you back on the path toward your purpose.
God knows what He’s doing.
He has your best interest at heart.
It’s not random. It’s part of His plan.
Dare to trust Him.
Col. 2:10
You are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
Many of the Questions Jesus asked ALL had to do with YOU-
Where are YOU-
What do you want me to do for you? (Mark 10:51)
Why are you trying to trap me? (Mark 12:15)
Could you not keep watch for one hour? (Mark 14:37)
When Jesus was 12
Why were you searching for me?
Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house? (Luke 2:49)
Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? (Luke 5:22)
Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? (Luke 5:23)
Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:46)
Where is your faith? (Luke 8:25)
What is your name? (Luke 8:30)
YOU ARE IN HIM NOW-
When God gave us Jesus,
He gave us His best!
We are truly rich because we have Christ, our all in all.
When we have Jesus, we truly have everything.
Jesus is our wisdom,
our righteousness,
our sanctification,
our redemption and
our success.
In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge of God-
When you need wisdom, Christ is your wisdom.
Wisdom is the intuitive knowledge of insight-
Not in your old nature or your senses-
But in the Born again Spirit!
1 Corinthians 1:30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
When you need righteousness, Christ is your righteousness.
God made Him to be Sin- that you would BE
When you need sanctification & redemption-
Christ is both to you.
When you need faith, He is your faith.
It's becoming who you are-
LEMON TREE- SEED- DNA
When you are fearful of the odds against you, He is your favor.
When you are weak, He is your strength.
When you are troubled ,
He is your peace.
When you feel vulnerable,
He is your shield.
When you are lonely, He is your faithful companion.
And when you are sick,
He is your healing and health.
Jesus, the great I AM says to whatever you need is found in Me-
You Are Rich!!
Because you have Christ.
And in Christ you are complete.
Don’t wait to have this or that before you feel complete.
You are already complete in Christ-
The purpose of every Believer's life is to be a blessing.
God has things for you to do—wherever you are.
Whether you are in full-time ministry or working in a convenience store,
