Live For God.
Submit To God And Be a Vessel For God's Love.
Submit To God And Be a Vessel For His Purpose.
Jesus teaches in Luke 4:18--
The Spirit of The Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to proclaim the good news (the gospel) to the poor (in spirit). He has sent Me to proclaim liberty (to set people free from sin and spiritual death) to the captives (prisoners of sin and spiritual death) and recovering of sight to the (spiritually) blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed (by sin).
In Luke 2:38 we see Anna, a follower of Jesus, talking about Jesus to all those who were waiting to be set free by God.
We are to follow the example of Anna. Now, let us tell those who need to be set free from sin about the risen Savior Jesus!
LOVE.
Matthew 22:37-39 "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
SEEK GOD'S FACE.
Study.
When we love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, pleasing God becomes our very purpose for living. When we love our Heavenly Father the way we are commanded by Jesus, our entire existence, every thread in our being, every waking moment we are in tune with The Holy Spirit-- keeping in step with The Holy Spirit, Galatians 5:16-26.
We are commanded to study God's word. When we love God, God's desires become our desires-- we desire to study our Bibles. We desire to spend alone time with God seeking Him in scripture in our personal one-on-one Bible studies. And also learning from Bible teachers and ministers in the Lord's church, the church of Christ. As we study, we are seeking God's mindset-- we want to know everything He commands of us. We want to know His word, precept upon precept; His way of thinking so that we can be strong Christian women, pleasing our Heavenly Father in our every thought, motive, speech, and action. This is our motivation for living.
DRAW NEAR TO GOD.
Trust in God.
Rely on God.
Pray.
A question was asked recently-- "What do you refuse to leave home without-- your wallet, your mask? My question to all of us is-- what do we refuse to even step out of bed without? The whole armor of God! Amen!!! Ephesians 6:11-18

TURN AWAY FROM SIN.
Be Holy For God Is Holy.
Let us recognize our need for repentance. And by faith, let us trust God to transform us as we renew our minds by studying His word, surrendering our will. And may we turn away from sin-- starting with our thoughts, obeying God in every area of our lives. Let each one of us pursue morality, peace and harmony with God, and with one another. We are commanded to be holy. Let us encourage each other to turn away from sin and be holy.

Luke 10:2 "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." God has chosen you to be a worker of the harvest. Follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity. We must be open and receptive to the Holy Spirit's guidance as we go.
