“For the body is not one member, but many. . . . If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.”
—1 Corinthians 12:14, 17-18
For more than thirty years, my husband and I have been leading Discovering the Jewish Jesus and taking the gospel to people around the world. Although we know God has anointed us to do this work, we could not have accomplished all we have if not for those who have faithfully supported us.
Beloved of God, whether you are holding the microphone proclaiming the gospel or supporting others who are doing so, you are making a difference. By serving in whatever way God has called you, the Word of the Lord is going forth as a sharp, double-edged sword and penetrating darkened minds and closed hearts. It is shattering Satan’s strongholds and building the Lord’s eternal kingdom. Together we are Yeshua’s body on earth moving mountains. Souls are being set free because of each person’s faithfulness to do what God is calling them to do.
My prayer for you today echoes the words of the apostle Paul in Ephesians 3:14–19: “For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.”
No matter where the Lord has placed you, whether in a position of prominence or behind the scenes, as you obey His leading in your life, He will use you to move mountains.
Father, thank You for the important part You have given me to play in Your body. Thank You for anointing me with Your Spirit in such unique ways. May I never become jealous of someone else’s gift or calling, for You’ve created me perfectly to do what only I can do on earth and for such a time as this. Lord, sharpen my gifts so they are used to build love, unity, and Your kingdom.
