By the Grace of God

 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 

1 CORINTHIANS 15:10

God is all. He is the creator of the mountains, seas and birds - all life is God's. You breathe - you live - you are created by God - You belong to him and him alone. Christ Jesus is the one man who died to save the world - such that all who believe in his triumph at the cross - they too will have eternal life.

In following Jesus and giving all your life to him - he will free you and live in you - in his perfect spirit. He has a specific purpose for you. In man there is deceit - In Jesus all is truth - The Lord lives - and he has come to give eternal life.

It is by grace that you are set free in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord. He is the Lord of life and giver of the The Holy Spirit. Be willing to surrender your heart and mind to him and he will make you a new creation for his good purpose. In him you can be sinless - In him you can be a Saint - In him you are called to be exactly that. 

In Christ Jesus there is no sin. With his Holy Spirit inside of you and Jesus as your guide you do not have to sin - you must not sin - for it is in him for which you live when you call his Holy name. The power of Christ in you rests in your faith and obedience to him. He is calling you now - be a faithful and obedient disciple of Christ Jesus and let your mind rest in his loving grace.

Only Through Jesus

 "He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

JOHN 16:14-15

There are no New Testament stories involving the will of man overcoming that of the will of Christ Jesus. Understand we live for God's Plan - Not the individual plan of man. One man lived - one man died - one man rose again to free man from the bonds of sin.

This is the truth of Jesus - Only through him and his spirit are you set free. There are no "being good" alternatives to eternal life. Call on Jesus - and commit yourself new to him. The truth and revelation of Christ Jesus is near - walk with the Lord.

Comprehension of The Holy Spirit

 "There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."

ROMANS 3:22-24

The truth of Christ Jesus is eternal life. The human mind without the spirit cannot comprehend the nature of him. He is God within. There is no means by which men can impact the spirit of the most high God. Only through Christ Jesus is this possible and only through suffering in this life is the spirit of God descended upon you.

Seek the will of Jesus not you. You are frail and the days of men are timed. In Christ Jesus - you have eternity - so a temporary struggle for your savior is beautiful and true - in this struggle the Lord will open the heavens and see his faithful.

Spiritual Awakening

 "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."

GALATIANS 6:14

The Lord lives in your spirit - he lives in your heart - God is Love. Being inwardly disconnected is being spiritually aware all of the time - but not superficially aware. It is the inward act of meditating on the Lords word in any and all settings. This continual dialogue that occurs in the spirit - keenly presents the spirit world to you - in the ordinary world.

Seek the Lords plan and surrender your heart to the cross of Christ Jesus. It is at the cross the new spirit and heart of man was born and delivered - Jesus Lives - He is King.

Boast In The Cross

 "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation."

GALATIANS 6:14-15

The focus of all life teachings and preaching must be rooted and focused on the cross of Jesus Christ. It is on the cross where he took his devotion - it is at the cross where Jesus gave his life such that you and I may have eternal life in his name. It is at the cross he gave the most high God his spirit - in triumph - he completed his perfect mission. To go to the cross - and be the perfect sacrifice so that we may live in his name. 

Nothing is possible without the cross of Jesus Christ. The Lord lives today - but only because he took his divine and heavenly love for us - to the cross - so that we may also be saved through belief in him.

Spiritual Understanding

 "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."

GALATIANS 6:14

The truth in Christ Jesus is not of this world. Escape your mind and its worldly limits. Jesus is the Lord and is no regular man. He is the son of God - take off your human binding glasses. The Lord Jesus was beaten severely - then he triumphed at the cross - suffering - bleeding - dying - a sinless man.

Why? He came as a man with the full spirit of his father in heaven - God. His will from God was to love you and I so much - he must die as a sinless perfect sacrifice for us - so that God will live through us in his spirit - Jesus did this at the cross.

Reliance on Jesus

 "As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,

    as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,

so our eyes look to the Lord our God,

    till he shows us his mercy."

PSALM 123:2

Let not opinions of the world shape or change what the Lord has for you. Be wary not to set time tables for the Lords vision on your life. The father knows more then his children - we only know what he provides - understand this in your time with the Lord.

Stop your mind from worrying about future events or situations. The Lord Jesus is with you in all moments - but he is not in a future situation with you in your mind - so rebuke thoughts of future disdain for when the moment arrives in truth. Christ Jesus will be there with you - solving -holding - and loving you - seeing you through.

Identify With Christ For Endurance

 "Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt. We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud."

PSALM 123:3-4

Be not so distracted in being christian and identified with Christ Jesus that you get ahead of the progress that the Lord is teaching you. Ask not what the Lord can do for you, but rather what you can do for your Lord. It is this paradigm of servitude that accompanies the encouragement and teaching of Jesus Christ.

It is less about leading and more about serving. As you lose sight of the perceived needs of men and focus solely on the Lords will - All will be divine in perfect harmony through Christ Jesus. Your spirit will be given completely over and your complete and full new life in Jesus is born.

Christ in You

 "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God."

1 CORINTHIANS 10:31-32

To follow Jesus - you must change. The Lord creates you new in him - so the old you must go - in Jesus replacing your spirit of man with his - he breaks down the old you. His goal is to make you a light so his spirit can teach, heal and love more people - to spread the good news.

He lives in us - All those who call Jesus God of their life - Savior of man - are children of the most high God. In our bodies - his temple he lives - loves - gives - teaches. He is in fact the living water that pours from us.

The Work is Finished

 

"I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do."

JOHN 17:4

Jesus Christ was born to this world to atone for the sin of mankind. He lived as a man - sinless - with God. He came to walk - to show that he was the prophet spoken in the word - and to suffer to pay for every sin of mankind as the perfect sacrifice. Man for mankind.

His love bore more pain than any man should bear and his love conquered all the world. It is only in our risen Lord - Christ Jesus do we find salvation and forgiveness of sin. By no other means shall you enter the kingdom - very truly I tell you.

Forgiveness

 "In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, ... In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace."

EPHESIANS 1:5-7

The forgiveness of God ONLY occurs through Jesus. Any mention of forgiving without calling on Jesus is ignorance of the Lord. All want to be absolved from their sin to live in abundance - but few take the sacrifice to understand the ONLY way to forgiveness is thru Christ Jesus.

Any other mention of salvation not through Jesus is the height of human folly. Justify yourself not by praise of man but by affliction in the name of the Lord. To suffer for Jesus is love - giving yourself for him - as he did for you - in this - you are made whole in him.

The Advocate in the Spirit

 "But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment."

JOHN 16:7-8

The genius of God is that the essence of God himself - he created in us. The passage way to receive redemption is his son Jesus - through Christ Jesus we are made new. Our father in heaven places his spirit in you through acceptance and redemption of and to Jesus Christ.

The genius from God in us is that through Jesus - he lives in us - speaking, hearing, seeing, loving. God is a spirit - he created you in his image - accept Jesus and receive his spirit. In this spirit of all who choose Jesus is the army of the Lord - consecrated through Christ.

Be a Slave No More

 “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."

JOHN 8:34-36 

Inside us there is your individual personality and the raw and undeveloped life of Christ waiting to burst forth. Through trusting Jesus and being obedient to his new spirit in you - your individual personality gets squeezed out as Jesus fills more of you with the spirit of God.

The Lords goal is to squeeze all of the earth born you out and be filled in completeness with his spirit. It is why David often found himself running over with love from and for the Lord. "My cup runneth over." The Lord seeks to live freely in you - in obedience it will be.

There are 3 voices within - the enemy - for whom is always looking to steal, kill and destroy, the Holy Spirit of King Jesus for whom is Love and which the world is devoid without, and the voice of yourself. The Lord Jesus set us free from sin and opened the voice of The Holy Spirit for all people to speak and communicate directly with God. After accepting Jesus and his spirit in baptism - set your personality and individualism aside and follow the one that has set you free. 

Be a slave to the enemy of sin no more and allow the life of the spirit of God to live full in you.

Obedience to Faith

 “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore."

GENESIS 22:16-17

The rational of the most intelligent human mind can absolutely not understand the Lord or obedience to the Lord through effort. Through obedience to the word of God - the Lord will open your mind and heart into his pleasing ways.

Obedience through faith allows the Lord to fill you with his promise to you. Continuing this walk allows new teaching, more wisdom and ultimate understanding that what the Lord has promised - he is about to deliver to his newly graduated disciple of Christ Jesus.

Glorify God Always

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble."

1 CORINTHIANS 10:31-32

The beauty of the teachings of the Lord are that he makes us new in him. In his teachings, he typically removes you from what would be your normal routine. In this time, the Lord teaches you his loving ways. 

This is often done in private - so that when he places us back into the world he has cleansed us into his ways so that we - as brothers and sisters of Christ will also be used as light posts for all who seek Jesus. The Lord uses us - our bodies as his creation to bring joy and salvation thru the Lord Jesus Christ.

Unconscious in Christ

 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”

Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.”

JOHN 21:21-22

Most people have a hard time suppressing themselves to allow the Lord to shine through. They say, "I don't understand how this could be God's will."That is a statement made by someone not rightly related to the lord. The Lord's will is for you to accept Jesus Christ as savior and receive the spirit of God in baptism.

Thru these acts of faith - you shall be made new. Fear no longer the unknown mysteries of the day and rest easy in the love and preparation that Jesus has instilled in you for this day.

To choose Jesus is a conscious choice of faith. To follow Jesus - in his new spirit - you must live consciously devoted to Christ such that all that you do is unconsciously a blessing for those that the Lord brings to you. Jesus was and is a blessing to all that choose to interact with him - thru his Holy Spirit - you are called to do this same work - to be a light from God to bless all those he chooses to place in your path.

Daily Intercession With Christ

 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to my master. As for me, the Lord has led me on the journey to the house of my master’s relatives.”

GENESIS 24:27

The understanding of the spirit is that as you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and become baptized in the Holy Spirit the Lord begins his permanent residence living inside of you - in your new spirit with this truth - you can know with complete certainty that the Lord is with you in all things. 

He will place you in new - different situations and with new and different people. He has placed your flesh - his temple - exactly where he needs you on all occasions. Rest easy in Jesus - and know with him - he always has you exactly where he needs you .

Experience of Faith

 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 

GALATIANS 2:20

Faith and experience bring forth truth. Through experiencing your own faith in Christ Jesus - his truth will begin to manifest in your life. You will notice subtle changes in yourself - your desires and your perceived needs. With Jesus  - you have everything you need.

He trains your heart to love and the mind he de-clutters so communion with the spirit of the Lord may take form. There is no person to trust in the matters of life except the one who was sent to provide it. Faith in Jesus is faith in God - The Father is the Son through the Holy Spirit.

Transfigured by The Holy Spirit

 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:"

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-18 

A new life in Jesus is exactly that - a new life. The acceptance of Jesus - allows him to actually change your heart and mind. He changes them for his purpose as you select him to help you. You will gain heavenly love, wisdom, knowledge, supreme guidance and peace.

The Lord himself does this for you at your request. You will see in his way and hear things in his way - things that once made sense - no longer will - other things once ignored will become prominent. He changes you into a light. He will make you over perfectly until your light is ready to be shown - this light is the spirit of God.

Spiritual Experience Reveals Truth

 “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”

GENESIS 22:2

Many have come and spoke poorly of the Lord and many refuse Jesus for what they see in the world. We live in a spiritual field. The realities to the eyes not born in Jesus see pain. The eyes born of Christ Jesus see opportunities for love.

In your difficulty - call on the name of Jesus - and in your affliction you will know peace - warmth - and love. This time of pain for you - becomes a time of caring for Jesus - while you are weak - he will fill you with love - call his name. You will grow and teach and love through this in triumph for Jesus - so that others can see HIS light in you.

Before passing a blind judgement on the Lord - pass through the difficult and unexplained experience with the focus on Jesus. God did not have Abraham sacrifice Isaac - God was asking Abraham to be obedient all the way. The purpose for God is to bring you in to absolute unified communion with him such that there is no differentiation of spirit within. 

God is a spirit and he desires you to give your will to him such that he may live complete in you.

Encouragement Through Fellowship

 "We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith." 

1 THESSALONIANS 3:2

The choice in following Jesus is the only choice if looking for your purpose. The key is re-learning how to be accepting of truth. The truth is Jesus Christ. Everything else created in this busy world is a false reality. Trust Jesus.

The spirit of God will give you everything you need exactly when the Lord has pre-desired for you to receive it. Question not when or how the Lord will fulfill his destiny inside you - Simply trust in the truth of Jesus - and out of you shall manifest the life that your heavenly father chose for you to live with Jesus.

Once the Holy Spirit takes hold of your life - it is difficult to specifically say what your purpose is because it is prepared by The Holy Spirit. This is different than that of the human spirit and the human will for which you control the destiny in which you live - the way you choose to walk is focused on your human intention.

It is Christ in you that is the power. The purpose of life is up to God. The purpose for you is trust in Christ Jesus as the truth of the way to eternal life.

Service to Christ

  "Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness."

COLOSSIANS 1:24-25

Our God is a living God. Our father is love - He is a spirit. As we accept Jesus as a man who was born with the spirit of the most high God - we know he lived and walked as a man - died and rose again. God is a living spirit that is accepted into your human body through Jesus Christ. Thus, your new life of serving the Lord takes over.

In living this new life for Jesus - he lives in us using our bodies as his temples. In each of us - his magnificent spirit lives into eternity and all is possible.

Prayer Through The Holy Spirit

 "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God."

ROMANS 8:26-27

Prayer is the direct dialogue between you and the Lord. Through belief in Jesus and the baptism of the Holy Spirit - the spirit received is that of the Lord. It is in this new spirit the Lord begins making you new in his name.

He cleanses you and prays for you. In this time - the spirit of the Lord makes known to you the most high God of the Lord Jesus desire -  in the new heart and spirit he has given. Jesus lives in you as you allow thru faith and continual prayer and conscious dedication to him. As Jesus consecrates you in the spirit - the power of prayer is truly magnified.

Circumstance For Purpose

 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters."

ROMANS 8:28-29

The saint lives in complete dedication to God. Human will is completely vanquished and given to the Lord.In such, all your paths are given from God - All moments - It is divine intercession of your new consecrated life in the spirit of Christ Jesus.

So fear not in the circumstances for which you are not familiar. Allow the Holy Spirit to work in you - for God to act on another's behalf. In this manner the Lord trains us to be missionaries - sent out each day to be a light for him - designed only for his perfect will. 

When we give our lives to God - he places us in front of the people he chooses for his purposes. Allow the Lord to speak thru you for another's behalf. The Lord uses his people to intercede for his Glory thru the Holy Spirit inside you. 

Belief Through Experience

 “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

JOHN 11:25-26

The process of the Lords education can take time. It is how he changes you into his wisdom and vision. He will press you in faith but will be there with you to comfort your uneasiness. 

Jesus continues educating until you have come to see as he does. That is through a natural progression of a makeover that forces your mind into knowing, "That can only happen with the Lord." It is the acceptance in complete mundane life that Jesus is currently living with you -  Keeping you safe - learning in his way. Believe in Jesus - All that he is and desires you to be.

Suffering For Christ

 "But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you."

1 PETER 4:13-14

Our father, who is in heaven, has the absolute perfect plan for each of us. He knows all - he knows your current situation and he also knows about tomorrow. With Jesus as your guide, the Lord will always place you exactly where you need to be.

Come to him in the spirit of thanks - allow him to remake you from the inside out. As this makeover takes shape - his goal is to have you follow him in all things - knowing he is with you. He desires to teach as only he can.

The time has come to give all that we are to Jesus - He is at door of humanity.

Submission to Christ

 "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded."

JAMES 4:7-8

The truth in freedom is that everyone is a slave until they come to walk with Jesus. Belief and hope stem from your understanding of your abilities based primarily on what you have witnessed for the entirety of your life.

Jesus breaks this slave bondness to the world and sets you free into his will - which is the truth in freedom - peace - love. He will birth your mind new and renew your heart into an eternity of love. God is love. Transact with Lord Jesus and come into grace with the most high - most loving - all creating eternal Abba Father.

Abandoned to Christ

  "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." 

GALATIANS 2:20

The Lords desire is to bring you into a perfect relationship with him. This comes thru the absolute surrender to Jesus will - in your life. In this surrender, he desires to mold you into exactly what he pictured and planned for you before you were even born.

The goal is not to bring you into difficulty and hardship - but in giving all things to him - he will bring you new and unexpected circumstances. Understand with him as your Lord - he will only place you exactly where he wants you - even when its hard.

Spiritual Truth Revealed in Obedience

  “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you."

JOHN 14:15-17

The Lords great authority takes shape in your life as your obedience to him begins to shape and mold your heart exactly as he desires. In acceptance of the spirit - Jesus creates a oneness of spirit through the manifestation of allowing your flesh to be obedient to the spirit. 

Meaning - Jesus - through obedience of his spirit - changes you inwardly creating new outward actions thus allowing his spirit - God's spirit - to speak and manifest through your body. This is how he consecrates your personal temple. In one body of Christ - we must harmonize our spirits together through Jesus.

A oneness of spirit with God can only occur through the denial of ones self. For symbiotic perfection from heaven - there must be one Holy Spirit of Christ in the Temple of your flesh - for the Lord said let him give up his right to himself to me. To hesitate at the ask of the Lord is to love another greater than he - myself.

You Are Not Yours

 "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

1 CORINTHIANS 6:19-20

The Lord brings you into his counsel when he comes. No more will you think of the world as you once did. Jesus will bring you into his care. His teachings are difficult and he will place you in difficult situations. But he is with you.

The Lord wants you to know that when you call on Jesus as Savior and accept his spirit - he is Always with you. He removes you from your "normal" life. In this new difficulty - know you are placed there - no matter the situation - because the Lord has placed you there by his will. Be strong in Christ and let his love renew your life into eternity.

It is through much difficulty that Jesus brought us into fellowship and allowed us to be made right with God - to bring us directly to the Father. Is it not worth personal struggle in the name of Christ for the greater purpose of Jesus to be seen in you - to be a light for the world such that others too may be saved by the loving grace of Jesus Christ?
