WHEN I WRITE A POST I DO SO FIRST FOR ME, TO DO GOOD AND TO SHARE WITH OTHERS!

WHEN I WRITE A POST I DO SO FIRST FOR ME. I GO BACK AND STUDY AND LET THE SPIRIT CONTINUE TO SPEAK TO ME. I WANT TO SHARE WITH ALL WHOM CAN RECEIVE WHAT THE SPIRIT IS REVEALING IN THE WORD. THIS IS HOW THE SPIRIT HAS SPOKEN TO ME SINCE THE JAN.1

FOR CHRIST'S LOVE COMPELS US, BECAUSE WE ARE CONVINCED THAT ONE DIED FOR ALL, AND THEREFORE ALL DIED. AND CHRIST DIED FOR ALL, THAT THOSE WHO LIVE SHOULD NO LONGER LIVE FOR THEMSELVES BUT FOR CHRIST WHO DIED FOR THEM AND WAS RAISED AGAIN. SO FROM NOW ON WE REGARD NO ONE FROM A WORLDLY POINT OF VIEW. THOUGH WE ONCE REGARDED CHRIST IN THIS WAY, WE DO SO NO LONGER. THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; THE OLD HAS GONE, THE NEW HAS COME!
ALL THIS IS FROM GOD, WHO RECONCILED US TO HIMSELF THROUGH CHRIST AND GAVE US THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION: THAT GOD WAS RECONCILING THE WORLD TO HIMSELF IN CHRIST, NOT COUNTING MEN'S SINS AGAINST THEM. AND GOD HAS COMMITTED TO US THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION. WE ARE THEREFORE CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING HIS APPEAL THROUGH US. (2 Cor.5:14-20a)

"GRACE AND PEACE BE YOURS IN ABUNDANCE TO YOU WHO HAVE BEEN CHOSEN ACCORDING TO THE FOREKNOWLEDGE OF GOD THE FATHER, THROUGH THE SANCTIFYING WORK OF THE SPIRIT, FOR OBEDIENCE TO JESUS CHRIST AND THE SPRINKLING BY CHRIST'S BLOOD." (1Peter 1:2)

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! THIS IS A SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLE, TO CONTAIN THE WORD OF CHRIST.
JESUS SAID IF YOU REMAIN IN ME AND MY WORDS REMAIN IN YOU, ASK WHATEVER YOU WISH, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU. THIS IS TO MY FATHER'S GLORY, THAT YOU BEAR MUCH FRUIT, SHOWING YOURSELVES TO BE MY DISCIPLES. (John 15:7-8)

THE PRINCIPLE OF FAITH, WITH MY UNDERSTANDING OF PRINCPLE AS THIS:

"A FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH OR PROPOSITION THAT SERVES AS THE FOUNDATION FOR A SYSTEM OF BELIEF OR BEHAVIOR OR FOR A CHAIN OF REASONING."

"A RULE OR BELIEF GOVERNING ONE'S PERSONAL BEHAVIOR."

"A MORALLY CORRECT BEHAVIOR AND ATTITUDES."

BEACUSE I REMAIN IN CHRIST AND CHRIST'S WORDS REMAIN IN ME, I HAVE FAITH IN THE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH THAT GOD WORD SERVES AS THE FOUNDATION FOR MY SYSTEM OF BELIEFS AND BEHAVIOR AND IS MY CHAIN OF REASONING.

BECAUSE I REMAIN IN CHRIST AND CHRIST'S WORDS REMAIN IN ME, I HAVE FAITH IN GODS WORD AS A RULE FOR GOVERNING ONE'S PERSONAL BEHAVIOR.

BECAUSE I REMAIN IN CHRIST AND CHRIST'S WORDS REMAIN IN ME, I HAVE FAITH THAT I HAVE MORALLY CORRECT BEHAVIOR AND ATTITUDES.

THIS IS WHY I ALWAYS SAY, AND WILL CONTINUE TO SAY;

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.

GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME IN TO CHRIST 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 , GOD WASHES MY HANDS OF MY SINS AND PURIFIES MY HEART OF MY DOUBLE - MINDEDNESS.

TODAY GOD'S WORD IS MY FOCUS, MY SPIRITUAL NATURE AND MY HUMAN NATURE ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THE FOLLOWING WORD'S ARE TRUE!

JESUS ANSWERED, "I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME." (John 14:6)

JESUS WAY IS TO OBEY WHAT THE FATHER SAY. JESUS IS MY WAY TO OBEY WHAT THE FATHER SAY.
"BECAUSE I REMAIN IN CHRIST AND CHRIST'S WORDS REMAIN IN ME."

JESUS FOLLOWERS WERE CALLED FOLLOWERS OF THE WAY, BEFORE THEY WERE GIVEN THE NAME CHRISTIANS.
SAUL WAS LOOKING FOR THOSE WHO BELONG TO THE "WAY" WHETHER MEN OR WOMEN TO TAKE THEM PRISONERS, WHEN JESUS CONFRONTED HIM; "SAUL, SAUL, WHY DO YOU PERSECUTE ME?" SAUL BECAME PAUL OF WHOM JESUS SAID; THIS MAN IS MY CHOSEN INSTRUMENT TO CARRY MY NAME TO THE GENTILES AND THE JEWS. HE MUST SUFFER MUCH FOR MY NAME.
(Acts 9:1-4)

PAUL IS MY EXAMPLE OF HOW TO WALK IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE WAY CHRIST LIVED IN FAITH TO GOD. GOD TAUGHT CHRIST THE WAY AND THROUGH CHRIST GOD IS TEACHING ME THE WAY TO LIVE IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S WORD.

IT IS GOD'S POWER, IT IS GOD'S WORD, IT IS GOD'S WILL, IT IS GOD'S WAY, IT IS GOD'S GLORY, IT IS GOD'S PLAN!

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!
