Jesus told us to go and preach the gospel, to make disciples. He was speaking to you and me, to ordinary men and women. And because of the relationship we have with Him, others will recognize us as men and women that have been with Jesus. ~ DickEvans.org

Not The Same
We Are Not All The Same. God created us unique. No two are made the same. No two have the same DNA. Even twins are different in some way.
We each have different fingerprints and different ears. Never mind our likes and dislikes or our natural skills.
If we go to something as simple as a yard sale, we head to a different arrangement of stuff.
Even what we eat. Go to a banquet and some are drawn to the appetizers, some to the main course, some to the deserts, and others hang around the beverages.
We are all created in the image and likeness of God and are all different in our appearances and in our likes.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11 NKJV
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
Our gifts vary. Some are called... but Holy Spirit can use us at any time in any gift for His purpose.
As born again believers, we all have the same spirit of Christ. Jesus had the Father send the comforter to us when we first believed.
At that instant in time, we were born again and our unique spirit and the Holy Spirit became blended into a unique spirit with all of Him and all of who God made us to be, never to be separated.
It is like adding cream to your coffee. Or like baking an apple pie with apples, sugar, and a pie crust. Before baking, they are still separate parts. Once baked they become one, an apple pie. Once done you can’t separate the parts.
Each born again believer has all of Jesus and is unique in who they are. The two are one.
The power and authority are the same in each of us. We have all of Jesus and as Holy Spirit manifests through us the result is unique and the results miraculous.
Believe it and receive it.

We Missed It
Sometimes what we want to do for God is not what God has for us to do. We feel great about doing the work we do in His name, but we missed it. Let’s take the time today to try to understand what the Lord has for us to do. ~ DickEvans.org

Invade The Darkness
Like a candle placed in the middle of a dark room, the presence of Holy Spirit in us can light up the darkest places exposing the evil deeds that are found there. But it is up to us to invade that darkness; it will not come to us. ~ DickEvans.org

Press On
As we press on to know God, our relationship with Him grows and we can depend on His response whenever we call out to Him. ~ DickEvans.org

Relationships
We must develop relationships with other believers that last and are deep enough for us to truly meet together; to allow others to not only encourage but to admonish. And we must be willing to meet with others in their times of great need so that we can be there to hold up their arms when they need it most. ~ DickEvans.org

Don't Worry
Jesus says not to worry about tomorrow. He is not telling us to not think about the future. He is not saying that the future will just unfold itself like the pages of a book. He is telling us that no matter what our plans, not to worry about them. He is with us and with Him to guide us, nothing is impossible. ~ DickEvans.org
