As we go about sharing our faith and letting our shine in making Jesus known, we get to watch people come alive on the inside by the power of the Gospel. We begin to experience the abundant life Jesus give in the power of his Word.

Jesus has given us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our helper for the Mission and the he Holy Spirit is the helper who helps us to do what we cannot do on our own.

The Holy Spirit helps us to know and empowers our mission to help others. He is our helper for the mission. This means we have the right, power, and ability to represent our great God in doing what He's called us to do for the mission.

Perfect peace is what Jesus came to give us by his sacrificial death for us on the cross  and by his glorious resurrection from the dead! He came to give us a power-a life giving , life sustaining power. It's resurrection power.

Jesus came to give us power on the inside, in our inner being. This turns our sorrow into fullness of joy and our stress, anxiety and fear into a perfect peace. It's the kind of power that makes us fully alive in Christ. It gives us spiritual understanding to live with revelation knowledge.

The power of Jesus within us makes us fully alive in Him. It's the power that turns our spiritual ignorance into revelation knowledge where we get to live with overwhelming abundance. It's the power to live each day with more than enough. 

Jesus wants us to have a daily experience in Him. He is for us and not against us and its's what we receive from Him as we live by faith. Resurrection power gives us an unshakable faith so we can live each day with absolute assurance.

We can see how God has show his great love throughout our lives. Jesus how's us love because he is love.

Resurrection power turns our divisive nature into a true spirit of unity among us where we live to experience authentic oneness in our relationships with one another.

I can live with perfect peace when I am reconciled with God and others in the world.

By trusting in the faithfulness, goodness, and compassionate love of Jesus the hopeless can find life.

Jesus gives the humbled grace, peace, and joy through Him.

If you desire to experience the fullness of Joy, it can only be given by Jesus. He can help you experience what life is like to experience His joy. This joy comes  through his through knowing that he is our. We can also experience joy in the trials of life and in death with the promise of heaven. 

Jesus came to give his life over death for us so we might go from death to life! Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.

Jesus gave us power to go from death to life when we are searching. We can search for Jesus for answers to our problems by understanding his will and his ways.

Jesus came to take us from death to life when we are rejected or viewed as an outcast. He came to reconcile and unite us all into one family/kingdom now and forever.

Jesus came to take us from death to life when we are blind to what's going on. This includes when we are spiritually blind.

Jesus is the source of every blessing! In him we have fullness that we can live overflowing with thankfulness.

Jesus came to fulfill all righteousness! He came to keep the law perfectly on our behalf so  it might be credited to us as righteousness. He not only paid the price for us that we might stand before the Father in white, holy and pure in the robe of righteousness!

Jesus is the truth teller.  He was full of compassion and truth. Truth was His priority.  1 John 5:20 says "We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know him who is true."

Jesus is the everything of everything. He is the beginning and the end and everything in between. Jesus is the one who was transformed into our image so we might be transformed into His image!
