2015 TREASURE
- What do I regards as precious.
- What should i view as precious TREASURE.
- Discovering the value of TREASURING up Gods words to discovering what TREASURE is in my heart by the words that I speak
- Oh and the greatest discovery of the year – the TREASURE that is inside believers, inside me – just a jar of clay. The light that is inside me, Jesus, is my TREASURE.
- That my focus on this earth is to lay up TREASURE in heaven – what does that look like?
God taught me about the actual art of TREASURING – to store up things of value to be used later.
To store up healthy thoughts not toxic ones.
To store up health in my body.
To store up finances to pay off upcoming bills.
To store up TREASURE in heaven by giving to the poor, to TREASURE the gift that he has placed inside.
2016 PAUSE
