BUT IN CHRIST IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN "YES". FOR NO MATTER HOW MANY PROMISES GOD HAS MADE, THEY ARE "YES" IN CHRIST!

GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST, GOD REVEALS A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST.

JESUS SAID, "I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME. THE WORDS I SAY TO YOU ARE NOT JUST MY OWN. RATHER, IT IS THE FATHER, LIVING IN ME, WHO IS DOING HIS WORK. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THAT I AM IN THE FATHER AND THE FATHER IS IN ME. TODAY I BELIEVE THAT CHRIST IS IN THE FATHER, AND I AM IN CHRIST, AND CHRIST IS IN ME.
THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE WITH ALL MY SPIRITUAL HEART, ALL MY SPIRITUAL MIND, ALL MY SPIRITUAL SOUL.

"CHRIST SAID: 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 YOU REMAIN IN ME AND MY WORDS REMAIN IN YOU, ASK WHATEVER YOU WISH, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN YOU. (John 15:5,7)

THIS IS THE THIRD SUNDAY IN EASTER, CHRIST HAS RISEN, THE SERMON WAS FROM LUKE 24:13-33. "THE ROAD TO EMMAUS". THE PROBLEM THE TWO MEN HAD RECOGNIZING JESUS IS THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE TODAY WHEN I TRY TO SEE JESUS WITH MY HUMAN EYES INSTEAD OF MY SPIRITUAL EYES.
"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 RECIEVED 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 MAN'S JUDGEMENT: "FOR WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD THAT HE MAY INSTRUCT HIM?" BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.
(1Cor.2:10b-16) JUST AS THE TWO MEN EYES WERE OPEN WHEN CHRIST BROKE THE BREAD, MY EYES ARE OPEN BY THE BREAD OF CHRIST'S WORD. "OPEN THE EYES OF MY HEART LORD, OPEN THE EYES OF MY HEART I WANT TO SEE YOU, I WANT TO BE WITH YOU."

CHRIST SAID: 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 YOU REMAIN IN ME AND MY WORDS REMAIN IN YOU, ASK WHATEVER YOU WISH, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN YOU.

I ASK THAT THE WORLD MAKES A SHIFT FROM BEING CHURCH MINDED TO KINGDOM MINDED, THAT WE MAY BE UNITED IN GOD, NOT BY OUR DENOMINATION. THAT WE BE BRANCHES OF CHRIST AND NOT BRANCHES OF RELIGIONS.

"BUT AS SURELY AS GOD IS FAITHFUL, MY MESSAGE TO YOU IS NOT "YES" AND "NO." FOR THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, WHO WAS PREACHED AMONG YOU WAS NOT "YES" AND "NO," BUT IN CHRIST IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN "YES". FOR NO MATTER HOW MANY PROMISES GOD HAS MADE, THEY ARE "YES" IN CHRIST. AND SO THROUGH CHRIST THE "AMEN" IS SPOKEN BY ME TO THE GLORY OF GOD. (2Cor.18-20)

"MAY THE GOD OF PEACE, WHO THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE ETERNAL COVENANT BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THAT GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP, EQUIP ME WITH EVERYTHING GOOD FOR DOING GOD'S WILL, AND MAY GOD WORK IN ME WHAT IS PLEASING TO GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, TO WHOM BE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER." AMEN! (Heb.13:20-21)

"CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANKS BE TO GOD." AMEN!
