God’s Precious Investment “ I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. ” (Ephesians 1:18, NLT)  As believers in Christ, we are God’s precious inheritance. He has purchased us with the precious blood of Christ, and looks forward to spending eternity with us.  “ But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ. ” (Ephesians 2:13, NLT) 

Your Power Source "God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times: Power, O God, belongs to you. ” (Psalm 62:11, NLT)  “ Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. ” (2 Corinthians 12:9, NLT)  It is amazing what lengths people will go to in order to gain access to those they perceive as “powerful people.”

Have you ever wondered why the Holy Spirit rarely speaks in plain language? He communicates to us in dreams, visions and prophecy (Acts 2:17), in unknown tongues (1 Cor 14:2), and in light, spontaneous impressions. His messages—especially in dreams and visions—are often symbolic in nature. And many times, His communications are brief and fragmented, as though He is leaving us a clue to follow. Why does God communicate to us in this way? After all, wouldn’t it be easier if He spoke in clear, easy to understand speech?

  The Goal: Christ Formed In You "Oh, my dear children! I feel as if I’m going through labor pains for you again, and they will continue until Christ is fully developed in your lives. ” (Galatians 4:19, NLT)  Paul went to great pains to say that the ultimate goal is to have the person of Jesus Christ formed in us. We need to realize what it means for Christ to live in and through us—to invite the Spirit of Christ to work as he reveals himself to us. This is a lifelong process; I have yet to realize major aspects of this objective. However, I know that God wants to become more fully developed in my life and in the lives of other believers. So let’s learn together what is involved.
