The post Vision (Part 1) appeared first on Get Inspired.

Vision:
— Vision is more insight than it is sight.
— Vision is being able to see beyond where your eyes can look.
— Sight is common, vision is rare.
(Prov 29:18 NIV) Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law.
— People with Vision don’t do everything.
— Their vision restrains them.
— Their vision keeps them focused.
— Their vision makes their life simple.
Vision gives pain a purpose. Those without vision spend their lives taking the path of least resistance as they try to avoid discomfort.
The late Dr. Myles Munroe said “Vision is foresight, birthed from insight, with the benefit of hindsight.” He also said, “Sight is the function of the eyes. But Vision is a function of the heart.”
Get Inspired receive divine vision from God for your life!
Get Inspired to maximize that vision before you die!
Until next week….
Stay Inspired!

We are still dealing with the 20 Characteristics of God’s Love found in 1 Corinthians 13.
I have been teaching my way through this passage for months. I trust that you have been blessed by the Word. Today we will look at several characteristics of God’s love in one message. I will cover the fact that God’s love is not self-seeking, touchy, fretful, or resentful. I get this from 1 Cor 13:5. The Amplified Version of this verse reads:
Love is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].
In this message you will learn how to deal with difficult people and you will also learn how NOT to be one yourself. God has called you to be a blessing and not a curse. I truly believe this message will bless you. Please take a few minutes to watch the video.
Finally,
Get inspired to walk in God’s Love.
Get inspired to NOT BE self seeking, touchy, fretful or resentful.
Get inspired to be an EXAMPLE of JESUS for all the world to see!
Until next week….
Stay Inspired!

]]>We are still dealing with the 20 Characteristics of God’s Love found in 1 Corinthians 13.
We have learnt so far how the LOVE of God allows us to:
Endure Long
Be Patient
Be Kind
And NOT be envious
Today we will learn that Love Is NOT Boastful, Proud, or Arrogant.
Here are some of the things I cover in the message:
The Bible says, “Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant.” (1 Cor 13:4)
To be boastful is to speak of one’s self with excessive pride; having an excessively high opinion of oneself.
To operate in pride is to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think; possessing a high or unreasonable conceit of one’s own excellence.
Pride is a weapon of our enemy. As a matter of fact, it is one of his three major weapons.
Satan’s “big three” weapons are (1 John 2:16):
1) The lust of the flesh,
2) the lust of the eyes, and
3) the pride of life.
To be arrogant means you have an attitude of superiority; you are “full of yourself”; this is an extreme form of pride.
A believer has no need to be…
*** When you love God and you rest in His love for you, your focus is on God, His ability, His power and His strength.
Get inspired to stop esteeming yourself above others because love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant.
Rest in God’s love and know that He will exalt you in due season.
Get inspired to LOVE even when you are not noticed or recognized by anyone else.
Rest in the fact that God sees you when no one else does and He will open doors for you that no man can close!
Remember, Love is PATIENT, Love is KIND, Love ENDURES LONG, Love is NOT ENVIOUS and love does not brag, is not proud, and is not arrogant.
Until next week….

]]>
Today we will cover the 4th: “Love Is NOT Envious”
According to the Webster’s dictionary…
Envy means: a painful awareness of another’s possessions or advantages and a desire to have them too.
Some Synonyms to the word ENVY are:
Some Antonyms — (opposite in meaning words) are:
You get the picture.
If I made two columns with these words
Column 1 — Synonyms to Envy
Column 2 — Antonyms to Envy
Then I asked you to stand under a column, where would you stand?
I pray we can all stand under the column with the antonym words to the word Envy.
But if you can’t, then hopefully by the end of this message, you will be INSPIRED to walk love, free of Envy.
Here are a few highlights from the message:
— Envy is rooted in fear and there is no fear in love (1 Jn 4:18)
— Where you find envy you will also find disorder and every evil practice (Jas 3:16)
— Envy rots the bones; eating away at you from the inside out (Prov 14:30)
— There is no need to compare yourself to anyone else (2 Cor 10:12)
— God made you unique, rest in your own divine identity!
*** Envy is like ignoring God’s grace on your life, while at the same time, resenting God’s grace on the life of someone else.
Get inspired to stop comparing yourself to anyone else.
Get inspired to sow seeds of LOVE and not ENVY.
Remember, Love is PATIENT, Love is KIND, Love ENDURES LONG and Love is definitely NOT ENVIOUS!
Until next week….

]]>The post God’s Love (Part 10) Love Covers A Multitude of Sins (cont.) appeared first on Get Inspired.
]]>
In our last message I talked about the fact that ‘Love covers a multitude of sins.’
Today I will continue to teach on this.
1 Peter 4:8 (NIV) Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Like I said before, the Apostle Peter teaches us the following:
1) Humans are flawed (ourselves included).
2) What makes it difficult to love others is: their faults, flaws and sins.
3) The love of God can empower us to LOVE others in spite of their faults and failures. Because this is what God does for us.
Here are a few highlights from this week’s message:
— We are all going through changes and we all are seeking to grow, so we have to love each other through the changes and through the growth.
— We need to cover each other’s weaknesses with our love.
— Love allows us to look past the sins of others.
— When you are dealing with person who is Born-Again, you are dealing with a person who is forgiven before God.
— Jesus already forgave them of their sin.
— When the Father looks at them, He sees them forgiven, washed and clean.
— He then expects us to deal with them the way HE SEES THEM!
— Just like God forgave us, He expects us to forgive… and forgive… and forgive!
In closing,
Get inspired to do as God commands and love others the way He loves you!
Get inspired to spend time praying for others and covering them in love!
Get inspired to do what you are called to do: LOVE in spite of!
Until next time, stay in spited.
God Bless,
Isabella
