MingleMateMarry.com podcast youtube and website for the perfect marriage material and swag. They got a great hoodie called its a great day to be married… after today maybe some of you will want to wear purchase it… because many of you are not loving the days you are married… 

 

 

The only passion some people have in life are there problems - its the only thing in their life that they feel gives them any power. weird right?  But where does power come from…. before you answer that you better listen up - because thats where were going today!

 

 

Exciting things coming up… truly thinking about joining the MMM and TDA together in a new ministry for men, young women and married couples. If you got ideas or if you are interested in joining me - I need help with some on fire single adults who are willing to speak the truth to young adults… but you gotta walk the talk, and be willing to take it on the chin. You better be a on fire Xn who’s morality cannot be bought and you are practicing abstinence until either Jesus comes back or your spouse says I do and the preacher announces you husband and wife! 

 

Matthew 10:

7As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ 8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. 9

Cognate: 1432 dōreán(the adverbial form of 1431/dōrea) – something freely done (as gratis), i.e. without "cause"; unearned (undeserved); freely given (without cost) hence not done out of mere obligation or compulsion. See 1431 (dōrea).

 

If you don’t know its free you won’t act like its free, you won’t give it away like its free, you won’t use it like its free, you will act like you had to earn it, buy it, you will hoard it, you will be surprised when it shows up. 

 

If you feel like in anyway you earned it, deserved it or it might not always be there when you need it… you will find it harder and harder to give it away… and that which you do give away will be from you and not God and will have very little if any power. 

 

Don’t miss this insight… God in these verses has give us an assignment that we cannot fulfill without knowing that his resources are free to us and free to give. Unless you truly understand that they are free- you will have a hard time fulfilling your mission as a follower of Christ. 

Many of us when it comes to money have a poverty mindset… we spend and we give with a “how do i save, scrimp, make it, how do I get by… if I give this will I have enough for me”.

We can do the same with Gods power… we think I do not have all the power and authority I should have because I have not prayed enough, I have sinned - I have not met the requirements that I feel I needed to pay out in order to have his power freely given”.

There is only one requirement I see in these verses and through out scripture… preach the gospel. Tell people about Jesus and his power will freely flow out of you. 

Want more of Gods power and authority in your life… well prayer is good, so is scripture and meditation and church attendance… but it does not earn what is freely given. Step out in the gospel and watch the power freely flow out of you.
