2013 has 2 meanings for the church. First is that the fake in the church will be exposed. The second is that God's children will begin to step into more anointing and promise.

Greed is "the intense and selfish desire for something". Desires can be for money, power, food, sex, relationships, possessions, etc. Do we desire the Kingdom of God or the things of this world?

The Old Testament prophesied about Jesus over 700 years before his birth. The Word is true and cannot fail. Jesus fulfilled every prophecy exactly. We can count on His Word and promises.

Jesus came to serve and not to be served. He did the will of the Father. We are to be like Jesus and to do the will of the Father and serve others.

If the innkeeper had expected Jesus to arrive, he would have made preparation to receive him. Isn't that how we are? Do we expect Jesus to be a part of our lives? Do we make preparation to receive Him?

Our focus determines our direction. It's like driving a car and looking to the side. The car will eventually follow. Our lives go in the direction of our focus.

Are we prepared to go to war for the Kingdom of God? Do we know how to pray and see things through? We have to prepare for war.

When we are born again, we become sons and daughters of Father God. We have relationship with the Father. The relationship is personal. He is interested in every aspect of your life.

Jesus is the light of the world. Christians are called to be carriers of the Light. The light always displaces darkness. Do we take the light of Jesus with us wherever we go?

What happens to a nation that turns from God? Leaders become corrupt and it becomes the norm. Righteousness and holiness fall to the wayside. However, it is never too late. Christian are called to stand up and be heard.
