TODAY I TAKE UP MY CROSS - MY SINFUL NATURE AND I DENY MY SELF AND I FOLLOW CHRIST!

GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST, GOD REVEALS A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST. CHRIST IS THE PATTERN AND CHRIST IS THE PLAN. GOD IT IS YOUR VOICE I HEAR WHEN I PRAY YOUR WORD, GOD IT IS YOUR VOICE THAT IS FILLING ME.

"IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. HE (JESUS ) WAS WITH GOD IN THE BEGINNING. THROUGH HIM (JESUS ) ALL THINGS WERE MADE; WITHOUT HIM (JESUS ) NOTHING WAS MADE THAT HAS BEEN MADE. IN HIM (JESUS ) WAS LIFE, AND THAT LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN. THE LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS, BUT THE DARKNESS HAS NOT UNDERSTOOD IT." (JOHN I:1-3)

WHAT ADVANTAGE, THEN, IS THERE IN BEING A JEW, OR WHAT VALUE IS THERE IN CIRCUMCISION? MUCH IN EVERY WAY! FIRST OF ALL, JEWS HAVE BEEN ENTRUSTED WITH THE VERY WORDS OF GOD.(Rom.3:1-2)

JEWS WERE ENTRUSTED WITH THE WORD OF GOD THROUGH THE COVENANT GOD MADE WITH ABRAHAM. CHRIST IS THE WORD OF THAT COVENANT.

SO THEN, MEN OUGHT TO REGARD US AS A SERVANT OF CHRIST AND AS THOSE ENTRUSTED WITH THE SECRET THINGS OF GOD. NOW IT IS REQUIRED THAT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TRUST MUST PROVE FAITHFUL. I CARE VERY LITTLE IF I AM JUDGED BY YOU OR BY ANY HUMAN COURT; INDEED, I DO NOT EVEN JUDGE MYSELF. MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE ME INNOCENT. IT IS THE LORD WHO JUDGES ME.(1Cor.4:1-4)

UNLIKE SO MANY, WE DO NOT PEDDLE THE WORD OF GOD FOR PROFIT. ON THE CONTRARY, IN CHRIST WE SPEAK BEFORE GOD WITH SINCERITY, LIKE MEN SENT FROM GOD. GOD HAS MADE US COMPETENT AS MINISTERS OF A NEW COVENANT - NOT OF THE LETTER BUT OF THE SPIRIT; FOR THE LETTER KILLS, BUT THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE. (2 Cor.2:17,2 Cor.3:6)

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TRUST, IN CHRIST I SPEAK BEFORE GOD WITH SINCERITY. GOD HAS MADE ME COMPETENT AS A MINISTER OF THE NEW COVENANT - NOT OF THE LETTER BUT OF THE SPIRIT; FOR THE LETTER KILLS, BUT THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE.
"NOW THE LORD IS THE SPIRIT, AND WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS FREEDOM. AND WE, WHO WITH UNVEILED FACES ALL REFLECT THE LORD'S GLORY, ARE BEING TRANSFORMED INTO THE LORD'S LIKENESS WITH EVER-INCREASING GLORY, WHICH COMES FROM THE LORD, WHO IS THE SPIRIT."
(2 Cor.3:17,18)

"THEREFORE, I URGE YOU BROTHERS, IN VIEW OF GOD'S MERCY, TO OFFER YOUR BODIES AS LIVING SACRIFICES, HOLY AND PLEASING TO GOD - THIS IS YOUR SPIRITUAL ACT OF WORSHIP." (Rom.12:1)

THEN CHRIST SAID TO THEM ALL: "IF ANYONE WOULD COME AFTER ME, HE MUST DENY HIMSELF AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY AND FOLLOW ME." (Luke 9:23)

TODAY I TAKE UP MY CROSS - MY SINFUL NATURE AND I DENY MY SELF AND I FOLLOW CHRIST.

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!

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD, GOD HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND AMEN!

GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST, GOD REVEALS A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST. CHRIST IS THE PATTERN AND CHRIST IS THE PLAN. GOD IT IS YOUR VOICE I HEAR WHEN I PRAY YOUR WORD, GOD IT IS YOUR VOICE THAT IS FILLING ME.

I RECEIVED A NEW PRAYER FROM GOD, PSALM 51:10-13.

"CREATE IN ME A PURE HEART, O GOD, AND RENEW A STEADFAST SPIRIT WITHIN ME. GOD, DO NOT CAST ME FROM YOUR PRESENCE OR TAKE YOUR HOLY SPIRIT FROM ME. GOD, RESTORE TO ME THE JOY OF YOUR SALVATION AND GRANT ME A WILLING SPIRIT, TO SUSTAIN ME. GOD, THEN I WILL TEACH TRANSGRESSOR YOUR WAYS, AND SINNERS WILL TURN BACK TO YOU!"

I AM PRAYING THESE WORDS DAILY AND THE TRANFORMATION IS HAPPENING. BECAUSE GOD HIMSELF IS DOING FOR ME WHAT I CAN'T DO FOR MY SELF. THROUGH THE WRITTEN WORD IN THE BIBLE.

"IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. HE (JESUS ) WAS WITH GOD IN THE BEGINNING. THROUGH HIM (JESUS ) ALL THINGS WERE MADE; WITHOUT HIM (JESUS ) NOTHING WAS MADE THAT HAS BEEN MADE. IN HIM (JESUS ) WAS LIFE, AND THAT LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN. THE LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS, BUT THE DARKNESS HAS NOT UNDERSTOOD IT." (JOHN I:1-3)

"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. FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT TO SAVE THE WORLD THROUGH CHRIST. WHOEVER BELIEVES IN CHRIST IS NOT CONDEMNED, BUT WHOEVER DOES NOT BELIEVE STANDS CONDEMNED ALREADY BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF GOD'S ONE AND ONLY SON."
THIS IS THE VERDICT; LIGHT HAS COME INTO THE WORLD, BUT MEN LOVED DARKNESS INSTEAD OF LIGHT BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL. EVERYONE WHO DOES EVIL HATES THE LIGHT, AND WILL NOT COME INTO THE LIGHT FOR FEAR THAT HIS DEEDS WILL BE EXPOSED. BUT WHOEVER LIVES BY THE TRUTH COMES INTO THE LIGHT, SO THAT IT MAY BE SEEN PLAINLY THAT WHAT HE HAS DONE HAS BEEN DONE THROUGH GOD. (JOHN 3:16-21)

TWO VERY IMPORTANT FACTS ARE REVEALED; JESUS IS THE LIFE AND THE LIGHT AND HE CAME TO SAVE US NOT CONDEMN US. IT'S MAN CHOICE TO BELIEVE OR NOT TO BELIEVE. I CHOSE TO BELIEVE GOD AND LIVE BY THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD THAT I MAY WALK IN THE LIGHT SO THAT IT MAY BE SEEN PLAINLY THAT WHAT I HAVE DONE HAS BEEN DONE THROUGH GOD.

JESUS SAID: "YET A TIME IS COMING AND HAS NOW COME WHEN THE TRUE WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH, FOR THEY ARE THE KIND OF WORSHIPERS THE FATHER SEEKS. GOD IS SPIRIT, AND GOD'S WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH." (JOHN 4:21-24)

"THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE; THE FLESH COUNTS FOR NOTHING. THE WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU ARE SPIRIT AND THEY ARE LIFE." (JOHN 6:63)

"THE SON IS THE RADIANCE OF GOD'S GLORY AND THE EXACT REPRESENTATION OF GOD'S BEING, SUSTAINING ALL THINGS BY GOD'S POWERFUL WORD." (HEBREWS 1:3)

WITH THESE WORDS GOD IS CREATING A PURE HEART IN ME AND RENEWING A STEADFAST SPIRIT WITHIN ME. I AM IN GOD'S PRESENCE AND GOD'S SPIRIT IS INSIDE ME.

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!

TODAY I RECEIVE A NEW PRAYER FROM GOD, PSALM 51:10-13!

GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST, GOD REVEALS A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST. CHRIST IS THE PATTERN AND CHRIST IS THE PLAN. GOD IT IS YOUR VOICE I HEAR WHEN I PRAY YOUR WORD, GOD IT IS YOUR VOICE THAT IS FILLING ME.

TODAY MY MIND IS CONTROLLED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD!

GOD VALIDATES THE WORDS I PRAY THAT THEY ARE HIS THE WAY A RESTURANT VALIDATES YOUR PARKING THAT YOU WERE THERE. GOD COVERS ME WITH HIS WORD THE WAY THE RESTURANT COVERS THE PARKING.

TODAY I RECEIVE A NEW PRAYER FROM GOD, PSALM 51:10-13.
"CREATE IN ME A PURE HEART, O GOD, AND RENEW A STEADFAST SPIRIT WITHIN ME. GOD, DO NOT CAST ME FROM YOUR PRESENCE OR TAKE YOUR HOLY SPIRIT FROM ME. GOD, RESTORE TO ME THE JOY OF YOUR SALVATION AND GRANT ME A WILLING SPIRIT, TO SUSTAIN ME. GOD, THEN I WILL TEACH TRANSGRESSOR YOUR WAYS, AND SINNERS WILL TURN BACK TO YOU!"

I WILL PRAY THESE WORDS DAILY AND WAIT FOR THE TRANFORMATION TO HAPPEN.

"I HAVE SOUGHT AFTER GOD WITH ALL MY SPIRITUAL HEART AND I HAVE FOUND GOD."

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!

I NO LONGER HAVE A DOUBLE MIND BECAUSE MY INNER MAN AND MY OUTER MAN ARE ONE IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU GOD. WE ARE ONE WITH YOU GOD NOW!

GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST, GOD REVEALS A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST. CHRIST IS THE PATTERN AND CHRIST IS THE PLAN. GOD IT IS YOUR VOICE I HEAR WHEN I PRAY YOUR WORD, GOD IT IS YOUR VOICE THAT IS FILLING ME.

"THE MIND OF SINFUL MAN IS DEATH, BUT THE MIND CONTROLLED BY THE SPIRIT IS LIFE AND PEACE." (Romans 8:6)

TODAY MY MIND IS CONTROLLED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, I COMMIT TO THE SPIRIT THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD, I SUBMITT TO THE SPIRIT THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD, I TRANSMITT IN THE SPIRIT THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD, I HUMBLE MYSELF BEFORE THE SPIRIT THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD. BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT'S GOD'S POWER, I BELIEVE IT'S GOD'S WORD, I BELIEVE IT'S GOD'S WILL THE HOLY SPIRIT, I BELIEVE IT'S GOD'S WAY JESUS CHRIST, I BELIEVE IT'S GOD'S GLORY, I BELIEVE IT'S GOD'S PLAN:

TODAY I OPERATE WITH A KINGDOM MIND FOCUSED ON KINGDOM THOUGHTS;
"FOR THOUGH I LIVE IN THE WORLD, I DO NOT WAGE WAR AS THE WORLD DOES. THE WEAPONS I FIGHT WITH ARE NOT WEAPONS OF THE WORLD. ON THE CONTRARY, THEY HAVE DIVINE POWER TO DEMOLISH STRONGHOLDS. I DEMOLISH ARGUMENTS AND EVERY PRETENSION THAT SETS ITSELF UP AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, AND I TAKE CAPTIVE EVERY THOUGHT TO MAKE IT OBEDIENT TO CHRIST. AND CHRIST WILL BE READY TO PUNISH EVERY ACT OF DISOBEDIENCE, ONCE MY OBEDIENCE IS COMPLETE.(2 Cor.10:3-7)

GOD'S PLAN FOR MY OBEDIENCE IS COMPLETE, WITH THE WORDS OF CHRIST AND THE MIND OF CHRIST GOD PLACED IN MY HEART. "MAKE A TREE GOOD AND ITS FRUIT WILL BE GOOD, OR MAKE A TREE BAD AND ITS FRUIT WILL BE BAD, FOR A TREE IS RECOGNIZED BY ITS FRUIT. FOR OUT OF THE OVERFLOW OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKS. THE GOOD MAN BRINGS GOOD THINGS OUT OF THE GOOD STORED UP IN HIM, AND THE EVIL MAN BRINGS EVIL THINGS OUT OF THE EVIL STORED UP IN HIM. JESUS SAID, I TELL YOU THAT MEN WILL HAVE TO GIVE ACCOUNT ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT FOR EVERY CARELESS WORD THEY HAVE SPOKEN. FOR BY YOUR WORDS YOU WILL BE ACQUITTED, AND BY YOUR WORDS YOU WILL BE CONDEMNED." (Matthew12:33-37)

GOD, STRENGTHEN ME NOW THAT I MAY SUBMIT TO MY INNER SELF, MY SPIRIT MAN NOW. GOD STRENGTHEN ME NOW THAT I SUBMIT MY INNER SELF, MY SPIRIT MAN TO YOU GOD NOW. GOD STRENGTHEN ME NOW WITH THE WORD OF CHRIST AND THE MIND OF CHRIST. GOD I ASK, WITH THE WORD OF CHRIST AND THE MIND OF CHRIST MAY I RESIST THE DEVIL AND THE DEVIL MUST FLEE FROM ME. GOD I ASK WITH THE WORD OF CHRIST AND THE MIND OF CHRIST I DRAW CLOSER TO YOU GOD AND GOD YOU WILL DRAW CLOSER TO ME. GOD I ASK WITH THE WORD OF CHRIST AND THE MIND OF CHRIST WASH MY HANDS OF MY SINS AND PURIFY MY HEART OF MY DOUBLE MINDNESS. I NO LONGER HAVE A DOUBLE MIND BECAUSE MY INNER MAN AND MY OUTER MAN ARE ONE IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU GOD. WE ARE ONE WITH YOU GOD NOW!

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!
