Jesus wants to flow through you
PASTOR GREG SIMON

Reflection and demonstration of Jesus
Be a reflection and a demonstration of Jesus wherever you go. God has called you to be a minister of His gospel and He has equipped you with everything you need – the power of His Spirit, and His Life on the inside of you. It is time to let Him out and loose the life that is in you!
John 7:37-39 NLT
“On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to Me! 38 Anyone who believes in Me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” 39 (When He said “living water,” He was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in Him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into His glory.)”
Acts 3:6 NLT
“But Peter said, ‘I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!’”
2 Corinthians 5:14 AMP
“For the love of Christ controls and compels us, because we have concluded this, that One died for all, therefore all died;”
1 John 4:4 NLT
“But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.”
Overcoming obstacles
Ephesians 4:11-16 NLT
“Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. 12 Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. 13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. 15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. 16 He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.”
Three MOTIVATIONS that cause people to minister:
1. Compassion
2. Surrender/Obedience
3.Sense of responsibility.
