GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST, GOD REVEALS A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO MY FATHER IN HEAVEN AND MAY ALL HIS CHILDREN BE BLESSED IN HIM TODAY! AMEN
SO I PRAY "MY FATHER IN HEAVEN,HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME, YOUR KINGDOM COME INSIDE ME, YOUR WILL BE DONE BY ME ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GIVE ME TODAY MY DAILY BREAD OF YOUR WORD. FORGIVE ME MY DEBTS, AS I ALSO HAVE FORGIVEN MY DEBTORS. AND LEAD ME NOT INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER ME FROM THE EVIL ONE." (Mat.6:9-13)

I LIVE BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT, FOR ME CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A THING OF TIMES AND SEASONS, BUT OF GOD AND FAITH. DRINK DEEP AND FULL OF THE LOVE OF GOD AND YOU WILL NOT DEMAND THE IMPOSSIBLE FROM EARTH'S LOVES. THE LOVE OF WIFE AND CHILD, OF HUSBAND AND FRIEND, WILL GROW HOLIER AND HEALTHIER, SIMPLER, AND GRANDER. THE LOVE OF GOD IS NOT REVEALED BY INTELLECTUAL DISCERNMENT; IT IS A SPIRITUAL REVELATION.
"HOWEVER, AS IT IS WRITTEN: "NO EYE HAS SEEN, NO EAR HAS HEARD, NO MIND HAS CONCEIVED WHAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM" - BUT GOD HAS REVEALED IT TO US BY THE SPIRIT. THE SPIRIT SEARCHES ALL THINGS, EVEN THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD. FOR WHO AMONG MEN KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF A MAN EXCEPT THE MAN'S SPIRIT WITHIN HIM? IN THE SAME WAY NO ONE KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF GOD EXCEPT THE SPIRIT OF GOD. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE SPIRIT OF THE WORLD BUT THE SPIRIT WHO IS FROM GOD, THAT WE MAY UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD HAS FREELY GIVEN US. THIS IS WHAT WE SPEAK, NOT IN WORDS TAUGHT US BY HUMAN WISDOM BUT IN WORDS TAUGHT BY THE SPIRIT, EXPRESSING SPIRITUAL TRUTHS IN SPIRITUAL WORDS. THE MAN WITHOUT THE SPIRIT DOES NOT ACCEPT THE THINGS THAT COME FROM THE SPIRIT OF GOD, FOR THEY ARE FOOLISHNESS TO HIM, AND HE CANNOT UNDERSTAND THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. THE SPIRITUAL MAN MAKES JUDGEMENTS ABOUT ALL THINGS, BUT HE HIMSELF IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY MANS JUDGEMENT: "FOR WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD THAT HE MAY INSTRUCT HIM?" BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. (1Cor.2:9-16)
CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANKS BE TO GOD. AMEN
