The Calling of God

 "Called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God."

ROMANS 1:1

You are rightly related to God when you give your life to Jesus and walk in this truth. You freely give your own will for the message of Jesus. Your decisions will all be based on God's will - not what is immediately best for you.

Humans fear suffering in this life having not a clue of the reality of atonement. To suffer in this life for the benefit and glory of Jesus is exactly what is meant by allowing your old self to die such that Christ the Lord will have complete hold of your life with his spirit - In this - Jesus will bring you peace.

The gospel of God and the Holy Spirit are the truth about life. To be set apart you must be willing to be alone with God - to pass through the reality of the redemption to receive the revelation of Christ is faith.

Obedient To The Call of God

"Samuel lay down until morning and then opened the doors of the house of the Lord. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision..." 

1 SAMUEL 3:15

The Lord is present in you - All the time as you allow him. Humans must let go of the notion that the body is simply a burden of issues that you were born with. The body is the perfect creation from God - so that you may call his Holy name and allow his Spirit to live in you - guiding you. All for the glory of the only everlasting kingdom.

Turn to God and hear his voice. Speak back and allow the Lord to pour into you himself such that you will love and walk for him. The will of God is for you to give yourself completely to Jesus - so he can live in you.

The Lord has created people such that we can communicate directly with God himself through the Holy Spirit. "If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” - Luke 11:13. 

Ask the Lord Jesus to speak to you and provide more of his Holy Spirit so his will can be done in you - be willing to be humble enough to listen to the one who speaks in your heart. 

Who Is The Lord

 “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?'"

ACTS 26:15

The determination to follow the Lord is one that will have fleeting returns if it is by your own determination of what the Lord has in mind for you. There is but one actual way to follow the Lord. Accept his Holy Spirit in baptism - and in this follow him.

His voice will be heard in your heart. This voice will make itself known to you - this voice is the Spirit of God - it is the Lords method of teaching his children. All of his followers hear one voice inside of them - all getting together - organizing his people - bringing salvation - leading them home.

The Lord Jesus is the God of my heart - The God of my life. He is calm and patient. He is kind and loving. He is truthful and helpful. He guides you through inner dialogue - he desires for you to speak to him in the spirit. He communicates freely with his chosen - that is people that choose him and are obedient to him.

The Lord Jesus is overwhelming love as God is love. He comforts through all pain - He is hope as he is the resurrected Lord that has overcome the world. He conquered sin for all people by giving his life for you at the cross of triumph. He rose again to prove he is God - The God of all life for which death has no power.

The Lord Jesus is the giver of life. He is the Truth of the Way to Eternal Life. The Father is The Son through The Holy Spirit. Praise Jesus and thank Jesus as he is worthy.

Careful Not To Persecute Jesus

 "We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"

ACTS 26:14

Many are called, few respond. In becoming rightly related to Christ Jesus - Our Lord - often there will be a dying of sorts to the old life. It is part of the symbiotic relationship to the Spirit of Jesus. He gave way to the flesh to be the perfect sacrifice - to give his pure spirit to Our Father in heaven.

It is this death - we no longer must incur - for he has overcome - Jesus is the resurrected Lord. In us - this truth is revealed - in following him - your life WILL change. The old will pass away - leaving only the new life of the spirit given to you from the most high God in the name of Jesus.

Self ambition for God is a detriment to his plan. Fighting for God is often a mask for the misguided. God does not need you to fight for him. He needs you to be humble and meek such that you are able and willing to hear his small voice within and be lowly in heart enough to do the loving deed for another that he asks. God is love. Jesus asks that you love your neighbor, love God and also tell others the good news about  him so they may also be saved.

Concentrate on Christ

  “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?"

MATTHEW 6:25

As long as their is evil in the world - forces will intentionally be persuaded to draw your attention away from Jesus. The world was created by God for God and his people - for us. In the beginning - there was choice - in the end only truth. 

The mind is the battlefield of good and evil. The heart is all God's - Pray to your Lord to be renewed in your heart and mind.

Holy Father cleanse our minds and renew our hearts in your grace. In your truth - wash us in the blood of our Savior - lift us now as your children in one spirit - in one name - in the name of our Savior and King Christ Jesus.

Chase nothing that does not lead to Jesus. Search for no thing without dialogue with the Lord. Praise the Holy Spirit for he is worthy. Praise Jesus because he is freedom - he is life. Let not your mind entangle your thoughts into accepting sinful inner dialogue. Rebuke the evil one and praise Jesus for setting you free. Focus on the Lord and the Lord will focus on you. 

There is no thing the Lord cannot do or provide at his appointed time - rest easy in your mind by directing all of your thoughts to his truth. God is love and he loves you and desires a personal relationship with you. Seek Christ Jesus with all your heart, mind, strength and soul and be set free.

Continual Surrender

 "If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’"

MATTHEW 6:30-31

Consecration is a daily surrender to Christ Jesus - the only God - the only savior - the one true King of the world. In all things - seek Jesus - when you are scared, tired, confused or angry - seek Jesus. He is Lord - his spirit will renew your heart into his perfect love.

He will renew your mind so it will de-clutter all the stuff that drowns out his voice. He wants you - to allow him to live in you in his spirit. This is the eternal gift and light of Jesus - This is the truth of God. This is how he guides us and this is how we are going home.

Jesus is alive and available to you right now. Focus on Jesus and your relationship to him in each situation and each situation will be prepared by God. When you are in constant communion with the Lord seeking his will in you - he is always with you exactly where you are. There is nothing to fear when you walk with the Lord because he is God - and nothing has power over the God of creation.

Jesus Christ lives for you. He lives to teach you how to love - to teach you about heaven - and to show you the way. If you have ears hear what the spirit proclaims about Christ. He is alive - and he is coming soon.

When God Is Pleased...

  "But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased..."

GALATIANS 1:15

The Lord is not always specific but he is always constant. Expect not deliverance in the way you can tangibly manifest in your own human mind. Rest easily and peacefully in a constant state of praise and trust in Lord Jesus and allow him to work himself into you freely and consistently.

When you tie your mind into the trap of expecting the Lord in your way - disappointment is sure to follow. In praise and weakness you are filled - renewed into the power of the spirit of the most high God in the name of Christ Jesus.

Set your mind to Jesus and his unlimited power. Stay in constant inner dialogue with Christ knowing that he is working in you and for you in your current situation to create a path and a future. When it is pleasing to God the light in you will be brought forth as his preparations in you and for you are made full.

Witness of Christ

  "Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me."

ACTS 26:16

The Lord appears in visions and dreams in the spirit. The Lord Jesus lives. In the vision given from the most high - I am completely reconciled to the life and spirit of my Lord Christ Jesus. Revelation often comes through the Lords vision.

Be obedient to the vision for the Lord reveals the truth in you this way. Jesus is All in All. There is nothing else of importance - for it is all passing away like dust in the wind. The internal truth of Christ Jesus is the only thing in which life is made full. I live not for me but to allow people to see Christ Jesus in me.

Transformed by The Spirit

 "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."

2 CORINTHIANS 3:17-18

We are made to be the light of God. He created us to be his children so that we can bring glory to the Kingdom. In the acceptance of Christ Jesus as Savior and the revelation that he is the eternal and only living God. We can trust in him.

It is by the spirit of the most high - the spirit of Jesus Christ - we are made new - In this spirit we are consecrated to our Lord and given new life in his name. In this same spirit of God we are transformed into his same image.

In the wilderness, the Israelites asked Moses to wear a veil because the glory of God that shown on Moses face was too terrifying for them to see. At the cross of triumph - Jesus tore the veil as he is the direct source between man and God because he is God. 

The Israelites asked Moses to be their intercessor between them and God - this covenant has been broken by Christ - but those that do not honor Christ as the New Covenant and the Son of God are held to the old covenant by which no person shall be saved.

Let the Spirit of God transform you into the image God has prepared. He is life and the light and we are created by him for his good use. You are transformed by obedience and faith in Jesus Christ and the voice of his Holy Spirit that lives inside you. 

Be consciously aware of The Holy Spirit at all times such that you do not grieve the spirit. God is love and calls you to love. The sign of a person that has Christ in them is one that loves the one in need. God places you before the people he has called you - to display his love in action - to help them through you. God works his plans through his people. Be willing to be used by God for the purpose of love in the name of Jesus Christ.

Eyes to God

 “Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. 

By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity

    a word that will not be revoked Before me every knee will bow;

    by me every tongue will swear. They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone

    are deliverance and strength.’”

ISAIAH 45:22-24

The Lord is All in All. He is life - he is everything. Shake the mirage of the false realities man has created. Everything is passing away - the only truth - the only constant is Jesus - He is God. He is Lord of my life.

Look not at Jesus like a human friend but like the superhuman God of the universe that he is. Nothing is hard for him. He says, "Turn to me." Take everything to the Lord in faith. Follow his words and walk the path of uncertainty of your eyes knowing that what lies beyond the uncertain path of faith in Jesus is eternal life and a blessed life of abundance in the name of the Lord.

Focus not on the blessing but on obedience to God and a personal relationship to Jesus in which you share all things. Keep no thing private from your Lord. To build your trust you must come unto the Lord and have faith in him that he loves you and has a plan for you. Speak to Jesus in your spirit - discuss all things with him in clarity. 

Focus on Jesus - not the action of the day. Keep your heart and mind diligent in seeking counsel from God - in this - he will provide you patience and a path. 

Youthful Devotion

“This is what the Lord says:

“‘I remember the devotion of your youth,

    how as a bride you loved me

and followed me through the wilderness...

JEREMIAH 2:2 

There is no joy without God. There is no peace without God. The Lords calling is daily - It is not once a week, when you are in a good mood or because you are bored - Christ Jesus asks that you seek him in ALL things. He is sovereign over ALL your life.

Enter a daily surrender to his will - Ask not what your Lord can do for you but how you may be of service to your Lord. In obedience and faith he makes you new. Walk in the light all day every day - take the path with Jesus into eternity and let his will be done through you.

The youthful response to the knowledge of the Lord is freely accepted. However, the world is designed to turn your love for God into angst for him. The world is where evil roams freely - Remember - we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places - Ephesians 6:12.

Therefore - to walk the walk of victory we simply take up the Cross of Christ Jesus as he already conquered the enemy. The truth is that the time of the enemy has grown short and therefore the plan of the evil one to reign darkness will be quicker and greater than at any time before - but rest assured in Christ Jesus you are not subject to the evil one as you belong to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Turn your heart to Jesus once more and be renewed new in his love and grace. Let him be the God of your life - the decision maker for which you pass all choice - such that his will of love is victorious through you.

New Eyes and a New Heart

 “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

JOHN 3:3

Being born again does not only mean you get dunked in water and you have decided to publicly acknowledge Jesus. Being born into a new spirit is the internal truth and acceptance that Jesus is the risen Lord.

As his spirit is provided - you will see differently about everything and everyone. The spirit of truth and revelation unmask what was previously hidden. For the Lord is Truth - All else is passing away - In Jesus you have life abundantly and this takes hold in new freshness about the previous mundane activities you once did.

The eyes of God are given in baptism and acceptance of the Holy Spirit. New eyes and a new heart are the signs of a new birth in Christ Jesus. The natural birth - the first birth - provides natural eyes. The heavenly birth - the 2nd birth - provides eyes from God. The kingdom of heaven is only seen through the eyes of God as it comes from God. Accepting Jesus Christ as the risen Lord is accepting that Jesus came from heaven to set us free from sin.

Take no joy in the pleasures of the natural eyes as this type of joy is short lived and leads to sin. Fight with all of your strength to protect your personal relationship to Jesus - as he is the truth for life and holds the key to heaven.

The Vision Followed By Darkness

 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there."

GENESIS 15:12-13 

The Lord provides All things - in preparing the way for his most perfect plan he sets visions and dreams in the hearts and minds of his children. It is in Gods clarity and directness to you - you know the presence and magnificence of the most high God.

In this truth - knowing God loves you and trusts you - stay the course in the darkness. The darkness comes to make you one with the spirit. It is through the abandoning of the worldly reality to the only true reality of Jesus where he places you. In quiet solitude he fills you - teaches you - speaks and loves. He fills you with everlasting patience and joy - praise God.

The Lord is Alive Today

 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

JOHN 20:28-29

There is but one Lord. There is but one savior of man. There is no reconciliation without Jesus. There is no life without Jesus. Profess not of what you do or have done for the Lord - but what the Lord has done in you.

The Lord is a Spirit - making you over from the inside. You are not defiled by what goes in your mouth but rather by what comes out. Be cleansed in the Lords Spirit - Call on your life to be free in Christ Jesus. For there is nothing of use the Lord can do with an unconsecrated temple. Your flesh - is the temple of God - be pleasing before the Lord. There is no service for the Lord without the Spirit of the Lord as your guide.

Working For Christ

  "But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being."

GALATIANS 1:15-16

The call of the Lord begins as a quiet voice asking you to get more rightly related to him. As he allows you to become more aware of himself - the life he has chosen to live in you is revealed more and more. 

As he works in you to reveal himself more and more intimately - the truth of the cross will manifest into your heart. This heart change is the disposition by which the service the Lord has chosen in advance for you - will be directly revealed to you.

Walking in faith is an outward expression of your devotion to Jesus. Faith in action is what causes the power of God to be with you and the light of Christ to be seen in you and the wisdom of The Holy Spirit to pour from you. His power in you is triggered by your faith in him. Jesus is the truth and will do what he says he will. 

How God Speaks

 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”

And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

ISAIAH 6:8

The voice of God transcends all things when you begin to discern who is speaking to you. When you are still and start to digest that it is the most high God in his Holy Spirit, the truth of the life of Jesus Christ takes firm hold in your newly transferred heart.

As you hear the voice and walk in obedience to his voice the truth of the Great I AM is also revealed in the stars - in the moon - in the rain - in the birds - He is All in All. It is this profound revelation of the Lords power and grace where the redemption of the cross is poured into your new spirit.

Walk with Jesus

 "Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."

ROMANS 6:3-4

Eternal life is a choice. To give your life to your Lord is a choice. To be completely given over into the Lord's new Spirit you must be rightly relegated to the death of your natural born spirit. Given away through baptism and acceptance of his Holy Spirit.

Christ Jesus is the Son of God - In giving your life to Jesus - you shall fear death no more - for he overcame. Live freely in suffering in knowing that when you freely give your life - what is passing away - to a new life - a new spirit is born - the Spirit of the Lord. A new heart and the truth of Jesus will be revealed.

The death of the natural life is death to sin. The acceptance of The Holy Spirit is the beginning of a new life in Christ - which is a life without sin. Have faith in the truth of Jesus and be confident in him. He can and will do in you what he says he will. Trust him enough to let go of your natural ways and understanding.

To identify with Christ is to know him. Pray to him in your spirit and ask him to come into your life. Accept King Jesus as Lord and Savior and ask for the forgiveness of your sins. Ask him to guide you in all things and all moments such that his will is done in your life in each moment of life. You see - if you are with Jesus in mind, body and spirit you are in counsel with the most high God - and if you are with Christ - you are exactly where you are supposed to be - All of the time.

The Call of God

 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”

And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

ISAIAH 6:8

The truth of the most high God is that he IS a spirit. He is All in All. He is the living God. The only God. Christ Jesus is God in the flesh. The Father IS the Son through the Holy Spirit.

The voice in the heart and mind is the battlefield. Listen closely now, the voice that speaks of good - that speaks to your heart - the voice that draws your heart to Christ Jesus - this is the internal voice of God calling to you. 

Be renewed into the loving blessing and revelation that the most high God - through the blood of Jesus Christ - gives his Holy Spirit to you - So you too can be a living consecrated temple of God.

Hearing God

  When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables..."

MARK 4:10-11

It is only in this quiet time with Jesus that the truth of him is revealed in the spirit. In confusion, seek Jesus - In fear, seek Jesus - in all things, seek Jesus. The cleansing and consecration of the renewal of your heart and mind can only take place in solitude with the most high God.

Search him - he is there. He yearns to speak to you - to show you the way - to fulfill his purpose in your flesh. He can only deal with you privately - it is an individual relationship to your God. Give him your time - such that he may give you eternal life.

If you are alone - be alone with God. Jesus knows the sorrows of your heart - he is love and hope - and will turn your sorrow to joy. In pain - broken heartedness - disappointment - sudden loss - unplanned change - seek the Lord Jesus. The Lord is calling you to him - He desires to help you in your current situation - To give you Hope and a Future - To Love you and counsel you all the days of your life.

God Loves you as God is Love. Let your mind rest and open your heart to the one who gives life.

Alone with God

"He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything."

MARK 4:34

It is in the boring - mundane quiet times the Lord enjoys his time with you. When it is quiet - with you having very few distractions - the Lord's voice is often heard. It is in these quiet - slow times - the revelation of the spirit inside is revealed. 

It is here in this time - the Lord does his work in you. Struggle not with letting go of the human traits that have defined you. Make way with an open heart to listen - follow and obey the voice of God and let his will be done in you. 

The Cost of Obedience

 "As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus." 

LUKE 23:26

The cost of giving your life in its entirety to Christ Jesus is the losing of your current life. Not literally - but in the reality orientation of how the world is viewed from your own eyes. It is a new spirit - it is the Lord now living in you as witness to your faith in him.

Be rightly obedient to the Lord in all things. Allow him to change you through faith and obedience. His desire is to make you a lampstand - consecrated for all he chooses to see. In obedience, others will call you down - say you are a blasphemer and not a Christian. It is because those that cannot hear the Lord do not recognize him in you.

Your obedience causes change for others. You are not a stand-alone Christian worker to be kept in private. No - to be used by God is to be before people - it is the souls of people that the Lord is after. The harvest is in the darkness - Christ is the light. When you are obedient in all situations to God - the people around you will be affected. Many will be displeased with you - but fear not it is better to disappoint a person than to turn your back on obedience to God. 

The Lord places you before people  - for the people he has placed you before. He will work in them through your act of obedience to him. So do not worry how your faith and obedience to God affects others in the natural. Your obedience to the light will allow you to be a light - so one that does not know the light may see the light and be saved.

Eyes of The Holy Spirit

 "I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me."

ACTS 26:17-18

I am but a temple of the most high God. Given over by choice to Christ Jesus in all things. In the Lords perfect spirit of peace he allows the shedding of all idols  - all things not rightly related to his Holy path. It is in this spirit - you see truth.

It is only in this spirit - that you have power and grace from on high to walk in the light - to be a light - shining to all nations in sanctification. Praise Christ Jesus forever and ever.

The evidence for which a person has encountered Christ is that for which they have received. You do not encounter the living God Christ Jesus without receiving new eyes and a new heart. A lack of faith is blindness - not loving your neighbor is to reject Christ. 

You are to turn lost souls from darkness to light and replace their heart of stone with a heart of love through the love and grace of King Jesus. The power is in him - the willingness to be used by God is up to you. It is not knowledge of the Lord that saves or helps people - it is through his Spirit that we are changed and made new.

Be Blameless

 "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it."

1 THESSALONIANS 5:23-24

Jesus came to be our perfect savior. To be sacrificed so that his pure life - his pure spirit could be poured into us so that we too may be blameless before the most high. Jesus also lived as a man - showing us how - we too - will live in the spirit - in the world doing his works for the kingdom.

Our Lord gave us this truth at the cross and at Pentecost. Today - the truth is the same - to be filled into completeness in the spirit of our Lord to serve and love as only our Lord can.

The Day of the Lord is coming soon so be alert in mind body and spirit - the Lord will come like a thief in the night - so be diligent in preparing yourself for his arrival. Be not afraid of the pending judgment on the world - but persevere until that great hour in prayer with our Lord. There is no fear in truth - only heavenly understanding and the peace of Christ.

The Lord's judgment is set for those that do not recognize God in heaven as the creator and authority of all life. For the elect - we are to love  - we are to heal - we are to be a light for all people and all nations such that the Lord will be seen in you and another brother or sister shall be added to the Kingdom of Heaven. 

A Living Sacrifice

  When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”

GENESIS 22:9-11

The Lords desire is for you to become intimate with him. He is love. Humans think of Christianity as a set of rules for an angry God. Disciples of Christ know the truth. 

On willing sacrifice of all things known - for faith in the truth of the resurrected King - Eternity is given - peace is delivered and the revelation of Jesus Christ and what he did for us on the cross becomes the truth in your heart. This truth is eternal - it is heavenly - it is from God - the only God - The God of Israel.

God did not want Abraham to hurt Isaac. Isaac was a gift from God for the purpose of the promise. Abraham thought that God wanted him to sacrifice Isaac - God is always after the same thing - faith and obedience. God desires that we are a Living Sacrifice for him.

Not because he wants to control you as a person of the world does - but because he created you and knows exactly the purpose for your birth - the purpose of right now - and he is preparing your tomorrow - he simply asks for you to come to him and to have faith in him that he loves you and will do for you what he says he will.

Trust in Jesus with all of your heart, strength, soul and mind and be set free of that which you do not know.

The Trinity of God

Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

JOHN 14:8-9 

There is only one way to find truth and perfect peace on earth. His name is Jesus Christ. In relationship to him - he brings forth all the promises of the word. Jesus is the one man - the one King all humanity should know - For he is the only life. 

In intimacy with Jesus - he lives in you - thus manifesting his will and life through your flesh. All creation is God's - you are to be the cleansed and Holy temple for the most high God - In Jesus - thru obedience and dedication is this truth brought forth.

God is a Spirit. God is Jesus in the flesh. The spirit is masked - covered by the flesh. Be not confused by the outward appearance of a man as man is made in the image of God - because God is a Spirit. This is why Jesus says anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. The Father is the Son Through The Holy Spirit.

Faith For Worship

  Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

GENESIS 12:8

While our Lord remains a mystery to much of the world - it is our duty as spirit filled disciples to take the wisdom the Lord instills in us and share it with others. The Lord wants not to be a secret - but to be abundant. Use the gifts of the Lord to advance the message of the Lord.

We are not our own masters as willing children of God. Christ Jesus is our King - In this truth, know forward, that all gifts given unto thee by the most high are for you to display so that another brother or sister may see Christ in you - and thus become a member of truth in Christ Jesus.

Abraham heard the voice of God and did what God asked him to do. He did not hide that God spoke to him - No - he built an altar to the Lord - a display for others to see to worship the most high God that directs our steps. 

Worship the Lord for he is worthy. Bless the Lord with Worship as he has blessed you with life. Be unafraid to display your love for God outwardly - as he will see your Faith and bless you with Righteousness. He will cloak you with honor and guard you with his uplifted right hand. Very truly I tell you.

The Power is in The Spirit

Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?”

Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.” 

JOHN 13:36

The life of power in the spirit occurs after you have been completely weakened in your conscious abandonment of the natural life. In extreme weakness heightened by your faith in the Lord - his spirit - his strength - and his life take over your living flesh.

The only flame that burns eternal is that of the spirit of Christ Jesus. It is for this reason you must abandon yourself - so that the Lord may bring you his spirit - his peace - his joy in replacement for the passing away of the human way of natural life.

The Holy Spirit is what allows you to follow Christ all the way. There is no heavenly power in human will or fear. The power resides in the truth of The Holy Spirit which is not known without having it. Peter had no supernatural ability to set his fear for what may happen to him aside after Jesus was arrested. It was his human fear of being punished like Jesus that made Peter deny Jesus. 

After The Holy Spirit provided the revelation of the Risen Lord to all of the followers of Jesus and "The Way," Peter was not only not afraid to speak boldly about Christ in the face of severe adversity and punishment, but he gladly faced death for the purpose of giving life in the name of Jesus Christ.

Self preservation is the antithesis of life in The Holy Spirit. Preserve not what is dying - but abandon yourself to the truth of Christ Jesus in acceptance of his Holy Spirit. Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and be baptized with water in the name of the Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost - for it is here that life begins and true wisdom is gained.

Will You Lay Down Your Life For Me?

 Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!

JOHN 13:37-38

Natural devotion still masks that you believe you have some control. The life of a man given completely unto the spirit is waiving the right to the natural. To feel you can be of any power on your own in the service of God is folly.

He asks not for your human strength, but for you to give this human life away to be filled with the spirit. You cannot be both. Give all of yourself to the Lord and his life will manifest into yours - not on your action - but on your faith in him.

Be patient with the Lord as he is with you. Time is of no concern to the God of eternity that lives forever. He will do what he said he will do - in his time - not your time. In this world, patience is not found, but rather you will find diligence in action without proper guidance. Time is of no concern to the Lord -  your reliance and faith in him - is what he is after.

The Lord prepares the way for you in advance. Preparation can take time as he works in all situations for those that trust in him. In the time from when the word or vision of God was first received to the reality of the vision being brought forth - the Lord asks that you lean on him until the perfect time is made ready. You see - in you must be born the heart of God for the purpose of his will to be done. For it is his vision you seek for your life - so therefore rightly relate yourself to King Jesus such that his life and vision are brought into truth in you.

Before the Holy Spirit was given to Peter, he denied Christ 3 times. After the Holy Spirit was received at Pentecost, Peter and the other Apostles had the life and power of Jesus in them and no longer feared what man may to do them for teaching about Jesus. It is the power of The Holy Spirit of King Jesus that gives you the ability to do his will. It it because of The Holy Spirit that we have the Bible - the word of God. It is because of The Holy Spirit we can speak directly with God. It is because of the Holy Spirit that we have Jesus Christ as our King and God forever and ever. Amen.

Light in the Darkness

"Clouds and thick darkness surround him;

    righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

PSALM 97:2

The truth of the spirit of Jesus Christ manifests inside you as you accept his Holy Spirit. The dialogue inside you changes from an inner dialogue with yourself - to a communication from Christ Jesus. His voice begins to be heard inside you. This is truth.

We are made whole unto the Lord through faith and acceptance of his spirit. He speaks clearly to you - filling you and teaching with his word - his truth. The Bible will come to life and the most high God will be exalted in you.

The Lord reins in the clouds and the darkness and he is the light. It is your personal relationship to Christ in which you will experience his love. God desires a relationship with you - not from afar - but in the personal. Jesus asks that you come to him in all circumstances. You see - he is the light in the darkness that gives life.

Live By Faith

"By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going." 

HEBREWS 11:8

The Lord asks for your faith in Jesus and word by the Gospel. The Lord asks for continual and eternal dependence on him - He asks because everything else is fading away - the only truth is Jesus.

Being rightly related is understanding that Christian work is Gods work. He is greater than all. He places you where he wants you to be. This is the specific truth of all who give their life to Christ Jesus and surrender to his will every single day. There is no more worry - only truth in Jesus.

Faith is to be worked out - exercised in ordinary daily life. It can be difficult to give a specific answer for what God has you doing within a given day. We are to surrender and through faith believe that Jesus has a perfect plan for the day. And through our surrender - his Holy Spirit will work through us for another's behalf - the task prepared by the Lord.

Focus only on the will of the Lord in you - for he is a living God that works and dwells in us through faith and obedience -speaking - asking - teaching - guiding - loving. Surrender daily to Christ - and concentrate on his will in you. Your mind and body are designed and created by God - he knows how you work and why you are born. Give to the Lord what is his - and let the truth reside in you.

Exalting Christ In You

 

 "I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death."

PHILIPPIANS 1:20

The conscious unabashed un-shy desire to eagerly follow Jesus Christ wherever he exactly calls me is the truth of Jesus. I care not of any circumstance to remain or enter my life that is not exactly and specifically related to Christ Jesus.

In seeing Jesus, hearing his voice, and loving his spirit - there is no other option but to give Jesus every absoluteness that resides in my conscious self. The truth is Jesus - he is coming soon. Get rightly related to your Lord for eternity is at hand in Christ Jesus.
