Joseph Prince’s words, “Learn the unforced rhythms of Grace,”
Little did I know he was quoting Matthew 11:28-30 in The Message Bible:
28–30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with Me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Since 2007, when I found out my Heavenly Father loved me just like I was, my life and ministry have changed radically!
At that time I was a “hot mess,” burned out on religion and feeling so inept for the position God had called me.
After sitting under Pastor Prince’s teachings for 5 years and revelation from my Heavenly Father of His love for me and His Body of Christ we are now living in the overflow of His love 24/7!
“God
said to me that everyone in the world can quote John 3:16 and this Word
is foundational. Do not stop there you have to know John 3:17 also is
foundational. Since Jesus did not judge, reject or condemn people you must follow “His” example."
John 3:16-17 AMP
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.
“God is Love and Love is Freedom. Freedom will never be intimately experienced until we experience God’s Love toward us. God’s Love toward us will produce an inexhaustible supply of total peace, total health, total prosperity in every area of life through His Son, Jesus the Anointed One."
The answer is so simple: it’s not about us it’s about Jesus.
We pray that you come and experience His Love with us at FFOP and I personally welcome you to Freedom Fellowship Church of Pittsburgh.
