Father, The Hour Has Come. Glorify Your Son, That Your Son May Glorify You. 2 For GOD Granted CHRIST Authority Over All People That CHRIST Might Give Eternal Life To All Those GOD Has Given Him. 3 Now This Is Eternal Life: That They Know You, The Only True God, And Jesus Christ, Whom God Has sent. 4 I Have Brought God Glory On Earth By Finishing The Work God Gave Me To Do. 5 And Now, Father, Glorify Me In Your Presence With The Glory I Had With You Before The World Began.
15 My Prayer Is Not That You God Take Them Out Of The World But That You God Protect Them From The Evil One. 16 They Are Not Of The World, Even As I Am Not Of It. 17 Sanctify Them By[d] The Truth; Your Word Is Truth. AMEN!

GOD IS SPIRIT, AND HIS WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN THE SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH: JOHN 4:21-24
21 “Woman,” Jesus Replied, “Believe Me, A Time Is Coming When You Will Worship The Father Neither On This Mountain Nor In Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans Worship What You Do Not Know; We Worship What We Do Know, For Salvation Is From The Jews. 23 Yet A Time Is Coming And Has Now Come When The True Worshipers Will Worship The Father In The Spirit And In Truth, For They Are The Kind Of Worshipers The Father Seeks. 24 God Is Spirit, And God's Worshipers Must Worship In The Spirit And In Truth.”
WHOEVER LIVES BY THE TRUTH COMES INTO THE LIGHT OF GOD. JOHN 3:13-21
13 No One Has Ever Gone Into Heaven Except The One Who Came From Heaven—The Son Of Man.[e] 14 Just As Moses Lifted Up The Snake In The Wilderness, So The Son Of Man Must Be Lifted Up,[f] 15 That Everyone Who Believes May Have Eternal Life In Him.”[g]
16 For God So Loved The World That GOD gave His One And Only Son, That Whoever Believes In CHRIST Shall Not Perish But Have Eternal Life. 17 For God Did Not Send His Son Into The World To Condemn The World, But To Save The World Through CHRIST. 18 Whoever Believes In CHRIST Is Not Condemned, But Whoever Does Not Believe Stands Condemned Already Because They Have Not Believed In The Name Of God’s One And Only Son. 19 This Is The Verdict: Light Has Come Into The World, But People Loved Darkness Instead Of Light Because Their Deeds Were Evil. 20 Everyone Who Does Evil Hates The Light, And Will Not Come Into The Light For Fear That Their Deeds Will Be Exposed. 21 But Whoever Lives By The Truth Comes Into The Light, So That It May Be Seen Plainly That What They Have Done Has Been Done In The Sight Of God.

37 All You Need To Say Is Simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; Anything Beyond This Comes From The Evil One.[g]
33 But Seek First God's Kingdom and God's Righteousness, and All These Things Will Be Given To You As Well.
19 “Again, Truly I Tell You That If Two Of You On Earth Agree About Anything They Ask For, It Will Be Done For Them By My Father In Heaven.

CHRIST'S PROMISE TO ME IF I LOVE, OBEY and HAVE FAITH IN CHRIST JOHN 14:12-30, 15:1-17
I, CHRIST tell you the TRUTH, anyone who has FAITH in ME will do what I have been doing. He will do even GREATER things than these, because I am going to the FATHER. And I will do whatever you ask in MY NAME, so that the SON may bring GLORY to the FATHER. You may ask ME for anything in MY NAME, and I will do it." If you LOVE ME, you will OBEY what I COMMAND. And I will ask the FATHER, and HE will give you another COUNSELOR to 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. I will not leave you as ORPHANS; I will COME to you. Before long, the WORLD will not SEE ME anymore, but you will SEE ME. Because I LIVE, you also will LIVE. On that day you will REALIZE that I am in MY FATHER, and you are in ME, and I am in you. Whoever has MY COMMANDS and OBEYS them, he is the one who LOVES ME. He who LOVES ME will be LOVED by my FATHER, and I too will LOVE him and SHOW MYSELF to him."
Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, LORD, why do you intend to show YOURSELF to us and not to the WORLD?" JESUS replied, "if any one LOVES ME, he will OBEY MY TEACHING. MY FATHER will LOVE him, and WE will COME to him and MAKE OUR HOME with him. He who does not LOVE ME will not OBEY MY TEACHING. These WORDS you HEAR are not MY own; THEY BELONG TO THE FATHER WHO SENT ME.
All this I have SPOKEN while still with you. But the COUNSELOR, the HOLY SPIRIT, whom the FATHER will send in MY NAME, will TEACH you ALL THINGS and will REMIND you of EVERYTHING I have SAID to you. PEACE I leave with you; MY PEACE I GIVE YOU. I do not GIVE to you as the WORLD GIVES. Do not let your HEARTS BE TROUBLED and do not be AFRAID.
"You heard ME say, I am going away and I am COMING BACK to you." If you LOVED ME, you would be glad that I am going to the FATHER, for the FATHER is GREATER than I. I have told you know before it happens, so that when it does happen you will BELIEVE. I will not SPEAK with you much longer, for the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD is COMING. He has no HOLD on ME, but the WORLD MUST LEARN THAT I LOVE THE FATHER and THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT MY FATHER HAS COMMANDED ME. "COME NOW; LET US LEAVE.
CHRIST SAID,"I AM THE TRUE VINE, and MY FATHER IS THE GARDNER. He cuts off every BRANCH in ME that BEARS NO FRUIT, while every BRANCH that does BEAR FRUIT GOD PRUNES so that it will be even more FRUITFUL. You are already CLEAN because of the WORD I have SPOKEN to you. REMAIN in ME, and I will REMAIN in you. No BRANCH can BEAR FRUIT by itself; it must REMAIN in the VINE. NEITHER CAN YOU BEAR FRUIT UNLESS YOU REMAIN IN ME.
"I AM the VINE; you are the BRANCHES. If a man REMAINS in ME and I IN HIM, HE WILL BEAR MUCH FRUIT; APART FROM ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING. If anyone does not REMAIN in ME, he is like a BRANCH that is thrown away and withers; such BRANCHES are picked up, thrown into the FIRE and BURNED. If you REMAIN in ME and MY WORDS REMAIN IN YOU, ASK WHATEVER YOU WISH, and it will be GIVEN YOU. This is to MY FATHER'S GLORY, that you BEAR MUCH FRUIT, showing yourselves to be MY DISCIPLES.
"As the FATHER has LOVED ME, so have I LOVED you. Now REMAIN IN MY LOVE. If you OBEY MY COMMANDS, you will REMAIN IN MY LOVE, just as I have OBEYED MY FATHER'S COMMANDS and REMAIN in HIS LOVE. I have told you this so that MY JOY may be in you and that your JOY may be COMPLETE. MY COMMAND is this: LOVE each other as I have LOVED you. GREATER LOVE has no one than this, that he lay down his LIFE for his FRIENDS. You are MY FRIENDS if you do what I COMMAND. I no longer call you SERVANTS, because a SERVANT does not know his MASTER'S BUSINESS. Instead, I have called you FRIENDS for everything that I LEARNED from MY FATHER I have made known to you. You did not CHOOSE ME, but I CHOSE you and APPOINTED you to go and BEAR FRUIT - FRIUT that will LAST. THEN THE FATHER WILL GIVE YOU WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME. THIS IS MY COMMAND: LOVE EACH OTHER. AMEN!

I AM KINGDOM MINDED WHEN I AM CHRIST MINDED
We become Kingdom minded
when we study the bible, we are profiling Christian character through God’s
word. How the word processes to
God. God’s desire is to teach us faith
himself. Just as God taught Abraham
faith when God change his name, God wants to teach us faith too. When we speak the word of God to our inner
man we are developing our kingdom mind.
So we can operate with a kingdom mentality. There are kingdom elements required to
achieve this. They are faith, goodness,
knowledge, inner self control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and
love. For if you possess these qualities
in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and
unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (2Pet.1:6-9) Jesus talked
about the church two times and the kingdom 119 times. Our focus is the kingdom. These elements will affect how you think, how
the process, how you expect, how you believe, how you look at things, your
perspective. There is some action
required on the part of the receiver or hearer of the word on what you do with,
or how you take in this information.
Take God off the pages of the Bible and put God on the tablet of your Heart,
focus on the promise. Let God take care
of the process of understanding the Kingdom, how to make the transition from
what we decided mentally to living the reality of Christ in our lives. Kingdom minded means, I Trust in the way the
Lord is doing things even when it flies in the face of conventional
wisdom. I don’t question, I just do what
God’s word says. I obey in every way
what the word says. Kingdom minded means
I need to fill my spirit with the word of God so that through this word God may
order my steps. When I am Kingdom
minded, I focus on the word and let God do the rest. When God asks about the plans for my life I
don’t want to give Kingdom excuses.
So I submit to my inner self, my spirit man. I submit my inner self; my spirit man to God,
that God may fill me with the mind of Christ through the word of Christ. With a mind of Christ and the word of Christ
I resist the Devil and the Devil must flee from me. With the mind of Christ and the word of
Christ I draw closer to God and God draws closer to me. God wash my hands of my sins and purify my
heart of my double mindedness. I humble
myself before the lord, and he will lift me up in due time. Now it is God who makes me stand firm in
Christ through the word of Christ. This
is how I worship God. Worship is important;
worship lubricates the heart to receive the word of God. Worship is when I give my spirit up to God. Worship is when I get to interact with God. God is moving on my behalf. Not everyone understands what God is doing
for me. Nor can every one receive what God
is doing in me. Nor can they comprehend the magnitude of what God is going to
do for me.
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already
been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus
took hold of Me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of
it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is
ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me
heavenward in Christ Jesus. I don’t let doubt, fear, or unbelief effect how I
respond to the word. I don’t hesitate to do what the word says. That I may be
effective as a Kingdom Changer. AMEN!
