THE RED LETTER CHALLENGE #5: “HOW TO LIVE ABUNDANTLY!” with Rabbi Brian Bileci

RED LETTER WORDS OF JESUS:
7 So Jesus said again, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, I am the Door for the sheep [leading to life]. 8 All who came before Me [as false messiahs and self-appointed leaders] are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved [and will live forever], and will go in and out [freely], and find pasture (spiritual security). 10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in ABUNDANCE [to the FULL, till it OVERFLOWS: KJV: “MORE ABUNDANTLY”]. - John 10:7-10 (AMP)
ABUNDANCE: περισσός perissós, exceeding some number or measure or rank or need; in the sense of going beyond; superabundant in quantity or superior in quality; over and above
“ABUNDANCE doesn't come from attaining material things, purchasing investments, or even achieving goals. The secret to living an abundant life is CONTENTMENT. CONTENTMENT makes you feel rich regardless of your circumstances.” ~ Billy Epperhart
HOW TO LIVE ABUNDANTLY:
1. BE CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AS YOU PRAY FOR OVERFLOW
11 I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be CONTENT in whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being CONTENT-whether well fed or hungry, whether in ABUNDANCE or in need. 13 I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me. - Philippians 4:11-13 (HCSB)
But godliness actually is a source of great gain when accompanied by CONTENTMENT [that CONTENTMENT which comes from a sense of inner confidence based on the sufficiency of God]. - 1 Timothy 6:6 (AMP)
“Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, CONTENTMENT, grace, the inner awareness of SIMPLE ABUNDANCE - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an OPEN and GRATEFUL HEART. ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach
I PRAY that God, the SOURCE of all HOPE, will infuse your lives with an ABUNDANCE OF JOY and PEACE in the midst of your FAITH so that your HOPE will OVERFLOW through the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT. - Romans 15:13 (VOICE)
2. KEEP AN ABUNDANCE MINDSET & BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU LACK
Give GENEROUSLY and GENEROUS gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for more. ABUNDANT GIFTS will pour out upon you with such an OVERFLOWING MEASURE that it will run over the top! Your measurement of GENEROSITY becomes the measurement of your return.” - Luke 6:38 (TPT)
