"I HAVE BECOME THE SERVANT OF THE CHURCH BY THE COMMISSION GOD GAVE ME TO PRESENT TO YOU THE WORD OF GOD IN ITS FULLNESS, WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU."

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 REVEALED THE LIFE IN CHRIST GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THROUGH HIS WORD. I UNDERSTAND THAT GOD'S WORD IS THE TRUTH I STAND UNDER. GOD'S WORD IS MY SHEILD AGAINST DOUBT, FEAR AND UNBELIEF. WITH GOD'S WORD I RESIST THE DEVIL AND THE DEVIL MUST FLEE FROM ME. WITH GOD'S WORD I DRAW CLOSER TO GOD AND GOD DRAWS CLOSER TO ME. WITH THE WORD OF GOD, GOD WASHES MY HANDS OF MY SINS AND PURIFIES MY HEART OF MY DOUBLE - MINDEDNESS
.
TODAY GOD'S WORD IS MY FOCUS, MY SPIRITUAL MIND AND MY HUMAN MIND ARE IN AGREEMENT ON THIS.

PAUL SAYS: "ONCE YOU WERE ALIENATED FROM GOD AND WERE ENEMIES IN YOUR MINDS BECAUSE OF YOUR EVIL BEHAVIOR. BUT NOW GOD HAS RECONCILED YOU BY CHRIST'S PHYSICAL BODY THROUGH DEATH TO PRESENT YOU HOLY IN GOD'S SIGHT, WITHOUT BLEMISH AND FREE FROM ACCUSATION - IF YOU CONTINUE IN YOUR FAITH, ESTABLISHED AND FIRM, NOT MOVED FROM THE HOPE HELD OUT IN THE GOSPEL. THIS IS THE GOSPEL THAT YOU HEARD AND THAT HAS BEEN PROCLAIMED TO EVERY CREATURE UNDER HEAVEN, AND WHICH I, PAUL, HAVE BECOME A SERVANT.

(WE ARE TO FOLLOW IN PAUL'S EXAMPLE AND BECOME LABORERS FOR THE CHURCH)

"NOW I REJOICE IN WHAT WAS SUFFERED FOR YOU, AND I FILL UP IN MY FLESH WHAT IS STILL LACKING IN REGARD TO CHRIST'S AFFLICTIONS, FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST'S BODY, WHICH IS THE CHURCH. I HAVE BECOME ITS SERVANT BY THE COMMISSION GOD GAVE ME TO PRESENT TO YOU THE WORD OF GOD IN ITS FULLNESS - THE MYSTERY THAT HAS BEEN KEPT HIDDEN FOR AGES AND GENERATIONS, BUT IS NOW DISCLOSED TO THE SAINTS. TO THEM GOD HAS CHOSEN TO MAKE KNOWN AMONG THE GENTILES THE GLORIOUS RICHES OF THIS MYSTERY, WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.
WE PROCLAIM CHRIST, ADMONISHING AND TEACHING EVERYONE WITH ALL WISDOM, SO THAT WE MAY PRESENT EVERYONE PERFECT IN CHRIST. TO THIS END I LABOR, STRUGGLING WITH ALL CHRIST ENERGY, WHICH SO POWERFULLY WORKS IN ME. MY PURPOSE IS THAT YOU MAY BE ENCOURAGED IN HEART AND UNITED IN LOVE, SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE THE FULL RICHES OF COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING, IN ORDER THAT YOU MAY KNOW THE MYSTERY OF GOD, NAMELY, CHRIST, IN WHOM ARE HIDDEN ALL THE TREASURES OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE. I TELL YOU THIS SO THAT NO ONE MAY DECEIVE YOU BY FINE SOUNDING ARGUMENTS. FOR THOUGH I AM ABSENT FROM YOU IN BODY, I AM PRESENT WITH YOU IN SPIRIT AND DELIGHT TO SEE HOW ORDERLY YOU ARE AND HOW FIRM YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST IS. (Colossians 1:21-29, 2:2-5)

"I HAVE BECOME THE SERVANT OF THE CHURCH BY THE COMMISSION GOD GAVE ME TO PRESENT TO YOU THE WORD OF GOD IN ITS FULLNESS, WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU."

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!
