YOU HAVE NOT COME TO THIS WEBSITE BY CHANCE!
YOU ARE UNIQUE!
Psalm 139:13 (AMP)
For You formed my innermost parts;
You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb.
1 John 4:16 (AMP)
We have come to know [by personal observation and experience],
and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God
has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God,
and God abides continually in him.
Think what a remarkable, unpredictable, and miraculous thing it is to be you!
Of all the people who have come and gone on the earth, since the beginning
of time, not ONE of them is like YOU!
Christ is focused on you!... His love is "all about you!"
He is the lover of your soul! You are His Bride!
Ephesians 5:23 (AMP)
For the husband is head of the wife, as Christ is head of the church,
Himself being the Savior of the body.
With all the shaking going on in everyone's lives, it is wonderful
to stop and reflect upon the manner of how very much
God loves each and every individual!
No one who has ever lived or is to come has your combination
of abilities, talents, appearance, friends, acquaintances, burdens,
sorrows and opportunities!
No one’s hair grows exactly the way yours does.
No one’s finger prints are like yours.
No one has the same combination of secret inside jokes
and family expressions that you know.
The few people who laugh at all the same things you do,
and do not sneeze the way you do.No one prays about exactly the same concerns as you do.
No one is loved by the same combination of people that love you – NO ONE!
No one before, no one to come.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE!
Enjoy that uniqueness!
You do not have to pretend in order to seem more like someone else.
You weren’t meant to be like someone else.
You do not have to lie to conceal the parts of you
that are not like what you see in anyone else!
You were meant to be different!
Nowhere ever in all of history will the same things be going on in anyone’s
mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now.
If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap in history,
something missing from the plan for humankind.
Treasure your uniqueness!
It is a gift of God given only to you! Enjoy it and share it!No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can.
No one can speak your words.
No one can convey your meanings.
No one can comfort with your kind of comfort.
No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person.
No one can be cheerful and lighthearted and joyous in your way!
No one can smile your smile!
No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being!
Share your uniqueness!
Let it be free to flow out among your family and friends and people you meet
in the rush and clutter of living wherever you are.
God gave you the gift of yourself to enjoy and share.
Give yourself away!
>See it!<
>Receive it<
>Let it tickle you!<
>Let it inform you and nudge you and inspire you!<
YOU ARE UNIQUE!
With all you have received from God,
He is calling you to another realm!
He has made provisions for all of mankind to learn of Him
and seek a personal relationship with Him!
Are you seeking His daily communion?
We find ourselves showering and bathing,
but do we take time to "soak" in His Presence?"
Psalm 46:10 (AMP)
10 “Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”
Father God has sent the Holy Spirit to transform you
into the image of His dear Son!!
But, there is a condition... you must be receptive to change!
Are you receptive to change?
What kind of change is it that God requires?
Are you feeding your mind and taking actions to prosper in all things
with Holy Spirit as your guide and counselor?
These are very serious questions.
If you do not know what qualities empower you for success in all things,
you cannot focus on attaining success!
Philippians 4:8 (AMP) Paul writes:
"Think upon these things"...Finally, believers, whatever is true,
whatever is honorable and worthy of respect,
whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word,
whatever is pure and wholesome,
whatever is lovely and brings peace,
whatever is admirable and of good repute;
if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise,
think continually on these things [center your mind on them,
and implant them in your heart].Here are four questions for your reflection that contribute to God's
formula for discipleship...Do you have a Teachable Spirit?
Are you willing to embrace change?
Are you receptive to change?
Learning requires taking actions in order to experience results.
Nothing new results without change!
God is all about change!
His creation is in constant motion and change!

Your pursuit of mentorship both by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God
Your pursuit of mentorship through God's ministries
of Light exposes you to supernatural experiences in your life!
The City of Lights websites are filled with insights and revelations
of the abundant life God has prepared for His redeemed!
The basic difference in people is directly related to who they trust to teach them.
Your Future is decided by whom you chose to believe.

Do you have a Heart for Commitment?
being in a position of a leader.
•Commitment establishes a recognition that there is an authority in place.
It recognizes that you are involved in something greater than your knowledge.
• Commitment states that you accept the status of something or someone
• Commitment to God demonstrates that you have released your will to energies
and confidence in His will as presented in the Word of God and by Holy Spirit.
• Committed displays a heart that you are willing to finish what you have begun
regardless of time or events to accomplish the goal or the task.
God will empower and enable you to complete your commitments as they
Kingdom of Heaven was Coming as a present reality and demonstrated
are exercised in faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God...
The Word was made flesh and walked among men declaring the
the realmof the supernatural by healing all that were oppressed by the devil.1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Father God wants you to believe fully in His Son and be formed
into His image!
God wants all healed of the oppression of the devil.
He has made the way through Christ and the Holy Ghost to make you free!
He also wants you to do the works of His Son as demonstrated
in the Gospels and by the believers of the first century church
recorded in the Acts and the letters of the apostles in the New Testament!
God's ways are eternal!
His favor upon you is demonstrated by His acts of Goodness!
He told Paul concerning a three time request that in some way was an affliction:
My Grace is Sufficient! Yes! God Mercy and Grace is released into our lives
no matter what condition or challenge we find ourselves in our earthly lives.
Psalm 84:11 (AMP)
the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor
For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield;
and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)!
No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
Do you have a Passion for extending Greatness to others?
The major difference in people is the style of life they chose that illustrates
their fervor for greatness achieved through humility and service to God
and others!
Righteous passion exhibits your respect for others who are engaged
in great exploits of Kingdom living!
Respect for other persons, their purposes, goals and activities creates
access into those things you also hold as valuable. The doors of opportunity
are opened to you when you pursue them with passion!
Do you have an Attitude of Expectation and Excellence?
Expectation is demonstrated by faith and commitment.
Commitments are expressed by vows or promises to oneself or others or both.
With God, your commitments as exercised by faith actions shows Him your
confidence and expectation level in His faithfulness and excellence!
His divine response is to provide you with increased Seed to Sow into His
work for the purpose of bringing forth a harvest in which you are rewarded
with personal increase as well...
And with God it is not all about finances!These two passages originate in The Law of Seed-Time and Harvest!
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord,
‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster,
to give you a future and a hope.
3 John 1:2 (AMP)
Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper
and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually].
Let us consider elements of prosperity!
There are four spheres of human actions.
• The Church and propagation of the Gospel.
• The Family created for generational multiplicity.
• The Law of Governments through God's Light as the moral code.
[Governments are divine institutions that God has given to order your life.]
• Local, Regional, National and Global Economy of goods and services.
The economy is not a true form of government for it cannot lawfully
impose an oath, but it is a major sphere of human activity.
God created the Earth to uphold all economic activities of mankind.!
Christ's instructions of the Great Commission:The Church has received the command of the Lord Jesus to reproduce
His Light in others!
You are Called to an important part of the Body of Christ!
1. Reach those walking in darkness, lost to the knowledge of Jesus
Christ the Son of God. (God's plan and gift of salvation.)
2. Assimilate them into the Body of Christ as disciples (followers of Christ).
3. Train them to become Christ-like (to live in the Light), demonstrating
the power and reality of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth today!
God's vision is all about sharing the message of salvation through
the Good News of Jesus Christ and maturing the Body of Christ.
His intention is to mature you and equip you to live in the supernatural
while still in the natural realm on earth.
Preaching, teaching and demonstration of the Gospel is supernatural activity!
God's desire is that we edify one another!
We must administrate from His perspective on edification of the Church!Increase is God's nature and His administration.
The supernatural Law of Reproduction works in the power of the Spirit.
God blessed Adam and Eve with his plan of multiplication.
Population of the earth is accomplished through births of natural human babies.God exercises His Light of Life in the spiritual realm as in the physical realm.
Heaven and earth reveals the works of God.
With Jesus Christ in your lives, you walk in the Light of Life in the power
of His Name and His Spirit. Jesus' prayer to the Father for unity releases favor
into your life when you believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Him.
(ref John 17:20-23)Your charge and command as a believer and as a "son" (non-gender)
is to evangelize by sharing the Light of Truth.
[Note; In the spirit realm, God has no grandsons.]
The Bible speaks of sons. It is the physical and spiritual realms that propagate
sons and daughters through "fathers" and "mothers."YOU are Uniquely Made!
The New Born of the Spirit are sons of God!
Justified by Faith in The Son of God!
“Called or Chosen?”
Scripture gives both words a rightful place in God’s purpose.
The call of God invites us to come to Christ, receive His grace, and walk
in His life!
Being chosen emphasizes God’s initiative and purpose: those who belong
to Christ are His people, appointed to express His love and bear lasting fruit.
These truths meet beautifully in the believer’s relationship with Jesus.
We respond to His call with faith, yet we cannot boast as though that relationship originated in ourselves. His love reached toward us first,
and His grace enables our response.
Matthew 22:14 (AMP)
“For many are called, but few are chosen”
This, Jesus’ declaration, Invites sober attention to the difference between receiving an invitation and embracing what it requires. In the wedding banquet parable, hearing the invitation does not automatically mean honoring the King
or entering the celebration on His terms. The call is valid and gracious; being chosen must never become an excuse for indifference, pride, or disobedience. Christ calls us into a living relationship that transforms how we walk, serve,
and love.
Paul brings both truths together when he describes believers
as Called according to God’s purpose:
Romans 8:28 (AMP)
28 And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those
who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.
Chosen in Christ:
Ephesians 1:4 (AMP)
4 just as [in His love] He chose us in Christ [actually selected us
for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world, so that we
would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose-driven]
and blameless in His sight.
Revelation 17:14 (AMP)
14 They will wage war against the Lamb (Christ), and the Lamb will triumph
and conquer them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those
who are with Him and on His side are the called and chosen (elect) and faithful.”
This passage likewise, describes those with the Lamb as “called and chosen
and faithful.”
Therefore, we need not set calling against choosing!
Calling expresses God’s gracious invitation!
Choosing expresses His purposeful claim upon a people in Christ...
faithfulness expresses your continuing response!
What a privilege to answer His Call and live as His Chosen people,
allowing the life of Jesus to become visible through us!
You are Called and Chosen!
