Dear Struggling Saint:
.
Here is a word for the coming new year … I am not generally given to the dramatic, but this morning I awakened feeling, not only mildly but wildly dramatic. It began, long before daylight with a blessed bombardment of what I call “double superlatives” from all over the Scriptures. Multiple Instances are gathering in my mind at the speed of thought with such extreme language that it begs for attention far beyond the moment. The air around me is filled with these statements from Scripture with each demanding to be considered:
.
It’s not just “good,” found seven times in Genesis, Chapter One but when Eve was given to Adam it was “very good,” not just “good,” a single superlative,
but “very good,” a double!
.
What I am about to say to you in print may sound melodramatic, which is defined as “emotions that are exaggerated.” But here it is: What you are reading could change your life, both now and forever!
.
Guaranteed!
.
Before I present to you the central thrust of this treatise, allow me to list a few of the double superlatives to clarify what I am trying to say: (Watch the italics!)
.
“It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom” (Luke 12:32).
.
“I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).
.
“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is exceedingly abundant …” (1 Timothy 1:14).
.
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think … “ (Ephesians 3:20)
.
Now, please pay rapt attention to the words of Jesus, obey the command, claim the promise and trust the Holy Spirit to make it continuously real in you from here on. Be very careful to obey the command and engage the promise:
.
“But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness,and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33)
.
You would be interested to know that I have recently taken this Scripture as my verse of the day and of the year for the remainder of my life!
