I SO Agree with John's Message...I am TRULY JOYFUL and feel Closest to JESUS when I am SERVING HIM!!! WHY? Because JESUS IS A SERVANT!! THAT is WHO HE IS!! Thank you JESUS for Opening my EYES to SEE YOU more Clearly!!!
Then the LORD said to Aaron: "You shall have no inheritance in their land, nor shall you have any portion among them; I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel." This passage of scripture is sooo precious in Numbers 18:20. Will God say even to me, "I am your portion, I am your inheritance?" Has He said that to you? So now I can say back to God, "You are my portion, You are my inheritance," says my soul!!❤❤❤ Thank you. God bless you all who are in Christ!😂🎉😊
If you have been born again, you are God's glory, and He will not give His glory to another. He will not give you to another. You are the work of His hands, and He will be glorified in you and you in Him. Just as Christ is the glory of the Father, so the church is the glory of Christ, just as the wife is the glory of her husband. God is glorified in the stars, in flowers, in animals, in all the great sea creatures, and in humans, but most of all, God is glorified in His new creation "Behold, I make everything new." If you are born again from above, you are His new creation. He made you for His glory, and He will not give you to another, namely other gods, other lovers. He made you for Himself. He will be yours forever and you will be His forever. Glory be to God for His amazing grace.

will be
forgiven the children of man, and wharever blasphemies they utter,
29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit(😊❤) never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin" -
30 for they were saying, " He has an unclean spirit."
"( Mark 3:22-30 ESV Study Bible. Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord( Jesus😊1st❤) and our savior ( Jesus😊1st❤)
does not have an unclean spirit. For Jesus😊1st❤ our savior in Christ is holy😊❤ in Christ. Jesus is the Christ( Messiah 😊❤) and the Son of the Living God and is John 1:1-2😊❤. In Jesus'name, i pray( Isaiah 9:6😊❤; John 3:16😊❤; John 14:6😊❤ and Romans 8:28😊❤). Amen.
God-centered joy is only just about wanting to worship jesus, having no other wants other than to worship jesus. I’ll also hear this truth from the video that I’m just about to watch
1 Corinthians 2:1-5( Proclaiming😊❤ Christ( Jesus 😊1st❤)
Crucified❤)
"2 And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you❤ testimony of God( 😊100%❤) with lofty speech or wisdom.
2 For I decided 😊❤ to know nothing among you except😊❤ Jesus Christ( Jesus😊1st❤) and him( Jesus😊1st❤) crucified❤.
3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling,
4 and my speech❤ and my message❤ were not in plausible words of wisdom,
but😊❤ in demonstration of the Spirit( Holy Spirit😊❤our helper ❤ in Christ) and power,
5 so that your faith( trust 😊❤) might not rest in the wisdom of men
but😊❤ in the power of God( God 😊100%❤ our Father in heaven)."( 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 ESV Study Bible😊❤)
A absolutely do not understand why for others, giving makes them more happy than receiving, I just don’t get it.
