[S] Joel 2:28; 2 Timothy 1:7 --
28"It will come about after this
That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will dream dreams,
Your young men will see visions.
7For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.
[O] God desires to pour out His Spirit on us all. It's the spirit of power, love and discipline which brings for the prophesy, dreams and visions. So many times, I try to take part in God's ministry with the best of intentions and resources but bypass His Spirit thus omitting the power, prophesy, dreams and visions in the process resulting in doing His work by my own power rather than having Him work through me. As I am putting my efforts of laying the foundational structure for a small group ministry at my church I'm clinging on to these two verses because in the end I desire His dreams and visions will be what the congregation will catch and by the size of those dreams/visions God will send the workers needed who will carry on the ministry with the spirit of power, love and discipline.
[A] Pray daily for His Spirit to lead me in this effort.
[P] Dear God, I just love 2 Timothy 1:7 because You have not given me a spirit of timidity but of power! Praise You and I will carry on with one who has received such power. In Jesus' name. Amen.
