This post is part of the P31 Limitless Life Blog Hop! I am so excited to be part of the study. For my post I chose to Map this week's verse - Ephesians 2:22. "In Him you are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit."     God's mercy plucks us from the destruction of our countless sins and place us in Jesus Christ's righteousness.   Our bodies are now the Temple of God! In God...He is where everything changes.

Courage: One Person with Courage is a Majority (Acts 4:10-13) In Acts 4 we see courage on display in the life of Peter and John. These two leaders wer thrown in jail for preaching and performing a miracle (vv. 1-4). When their captors ask about their ministry, Peter boldly asserts that the name of Jesus, not their own talent, had healed the man (v. 10).

The writer says very little about her outward appearance but is more impressed with her inner qualities and her outward actions, he did not notice her looks. The description of her ends with the testimony of those who knew her best: her children and her husband. Her children blessed her for their early training as they grew up and went out into public life. Wishing each of you a wonderful day today and every-Day! Ladies you are one of a kind, in all the the universe there is no one else like you! You are uniquely made by God! He has a plan and a purpose fo each of your lives. " Many women do noble things," ...

  I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. – John 14:12 This is one of my most favorite scriptures, Jesus is calling us to do great things through the power of the Holy Spirit. We as Christ Followers aren’t suppose to lead ordinary lives and do ordinary things – we are so much better than that. We are suppose to live extraordinary lives and do extraordinary things. By allowing God to work in our lives we can become so much better than we are. Jesus didn’t die for us to sit on the sidelines and watch the game – we are suppose to be in the game making a difference. Greater = the life-altering understanding that God is ready to accomplish a kind of greatness in you life that is entirely out of human reach. Greater is a place where impossibilities cannot coexist with God’s promises! (Steven Furtick) The Lord your God is with you…He will take great delight in you, ...
