Five Minute Friday: Moment







Today I am participating in Five Minute Friday, where a group of writers get together and free write about a one word prompt for 5 minutes. Today's word is "moment."


In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light
.-Genesis 1:1-3 (BSB)



In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 

He was with God in the beginning. 

Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. 

In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. 

The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.-John 1:1-5 (BSB)


He was there, in that moment; He was always there.

Jesus was part of the Godhead, making creation, creating all things. Love was in the beginning, birthing this world.

John, the apostle of love, remembered that His love was always there, always had been, always existed. And in that moment, at the beginning, His life was a part of us.

His light was the light of men. In that moment, when we were created, life and light breathed into us, and we became human beings.


In the Gospel of John, he reminds us that it had come full circle. The one who walked in the garden was walking on earth, waiting to breathe His life, his Spirit into us once again.

Every Believer Has a Ministry



Ministry is not a place you arrive at. It is something already happening, moment by moment, day by day. Every single believer on the planet has a ministry right now. You don't need another person to affirm you or send you. Jesus already said go! (See Mark 16: 15 and 2 Corinthians 5:18.)

There is somebody in your world right now that needs to hear the about Jesus. They need to hear and know that God loves them and they are already forgiven of their sins. They just need to know it, believe it and give their hearts to Him.

It only takes a moment to become a new creation and be transferred from the darkness to light.

I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me. -Acts 26:17-18
