Today’s Scripture: who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:6 ESV
We are God’s recommendation letter. The Spirit of the living God has written on our hearts the message we are. Sharing our hearts is what the world needs.
We are sufficient to be ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. The glory once found in the letter of the law fades. The Spirit never fades He GIVES LIFE!
I have come to know this Spirit, have you? Seriously, in the stillness of your time before God have you come to know and experience the Holy Spirit? If not, pray for God to help you to recognize His Spirit. If you spend enough time with Him and time in His Word you will shine the light of the Spirit that no veil can cover.
The Spirit is alive in you and gives you confidence, boldness and freedom to be who is written on your heart. What is the world reading in you?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the life of Jesus who taught us we too can be one with You in the Spirit. LORD thank You for giving me Your Spirit. I pray to live the life You have given me in the Spirit. I will boldly proclaim what You have written on my heart. Amen

Oh, Yes it does!! People are drawn to the light of his glory in us! We become his ministers when our relationship with him is so saturated that it spills over into every facet of our lives. The Spirit is the power (the boldness & freedom) that propels us forward & gives us his light. In Mark 6:7, Jesus sent the disciples out in power; How else can we be sent? If we go out in our own power, we are ineffective!
Good stuff Tom! Thanks! Sorry I’ve been absent so long.
Amen Kimberly! Great to hear from you! Thanks for sharing and interesting you shared Mark 6 as I was sharing my testimony with a group last night where Mark 4 is a huge part of it. His kingdom is like a farmer who scatters seeds and day and night they grow and sprout. He goes back to sleep and things happen he can not understand (something like that:). The Spirit makes things happen we can not understand with the seeds he has given each of us to scatter:) Blessings and scattering my friend!
This is another great reminder, Tom–when I realize that I am a big advertisement for Jesus, it makes me stand up straighter, as far as my attitude. Thanks again for helping me out–God bless you and your family–love, sis Caddo
Thanks sis, we can stand straight knowing that is the Spirit who will advertise Himself through us. Let us just let Him Shine BIG and BRIGHT! Blessings and love!
Tom . .thank you so much. There was something really special about this that really encouraged me. I might not know all the right scripture , have the letters all straight in my mind, but He has written with His Spirit on my heart. Praying that I let others read it often. God bless you!
Amen Deb, may we let Him shine and greet all others with His love and His light! I do believe that others do see Him in you. I know I do:) Blessings and life!
