“You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you.” -John 15:16 AMP
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We’re so happy that God has graced you with yet another year! Another year as His chosen select to do His will and to continue to grow and mature in the things of God. May our lives be a “living epistle of God’s ability, His goodness and mercy. We are blessed with the opportunity to represent Him on earth, so may we never take that for granted.
(You missed out on a POWERFUL message entitled “A Living Epistle of His Ability” by Pastor Gool at our New Year’s Eve service if you want in attendance. The message will be available later this week in the VCC Wordshop, but here are a few reminders from Pastor Gool’s encouragement and Word from the Lord, as we’ve stepped into 2019...SELAH:
1) Don’t give up on overcoming.
2) That sowing and reaping pays off.
3) Don’t concern yourself with coping or losing your mind.
4) To expect miracles that are mind-boggling.
5) Get ready to get back on your feet!
God may you use us for your glory like never before in 2019. May our lives be “living epistles” that communicate your goodness, mercy and POWER to this world. We do believe that “we are sent by the Spirit of God to individuals and to groups of people”, and we accept the assignment! Continue to perfect those areas that concern us so that we better represent you this year. We believe you can do it and that our lives and others will be changed like we’ve never experienced before – all for your hon or and glory! In Jesus name. AMEN!
