DIVISIONS IN THE CHURCH ARE CAUSED BY MAN'S RELIGION, THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD!

TODAY I AM KINGDOM MINDED AND I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD. BECAUSE I AM WILLING TO DO WHATEVER GOD'S WORDS WOULD HAVE ME DO EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. IF GOD'S WORDS SAYS DO IT THAT'S WHAT I DO, IF GOD'S SPIRIT SAYS WRITE IT THAT'S WHAT I WRITE, AND IF GOD'S VOICE SAYS SPEAK IT THAT'S WHAT I SPEAK.

I HAVE FAITH IN GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I TRUST GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I BELIEVE GOD'S WORDS ARE TRUE.

I AM A SPIRITUAL MAN, AND I WORSHIP GOD WITH SPIRITUAL WORDS.

THIS IS WHAT WE SPEAK, NOT IN WORDS TAUGHT 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.2:13-16)

ON DIVISIONS IN THE CHURCH

BROTHERS, I COULD NOT ADDRESS YOU AS SPIRITUAL BUT AS WORLDLY - MERE INFANTS IN CHRIST. I GAVE YOU MILK NOT SOLID FOOD, FOR YOU WERE NOT YET READY FOR IT. INDEED, YOU ARE STILL NOT READY . YOU ARE STILL WORLDLY. FOR SINCE THERE IS JEALOUSY AND QUARRELING AMONG YOU, ARE YOU NOT WORLDLY? ARE YOU NOT ACTING LIKE MERE MEN? FOR WHEN ONE SAYS, "I FOLLOW PAUL," AND ANOTHER, "I FOLLOW APOLLOS," ARE YOU NOT MERE MEN?

WHAT, AFTER ALL, IS APOLLOS? AND WHAT IS PAUL? ONLY SERVANTS, THROUGH WHOM YOU CAME TO BELIEVE - AS THE LORD HAS ASSIGNED TO EACH HIS TASK. I PLANTED THE SEED, APOLLOS WATERED IT, BUT GOD MADE IT GROW. SO NEITHER HE WHO PLANTS NOR HE WHO WATERS IS ANYTHING, BUT ONLY GOD, WHO MAKES THINGS GROW. THE MAN WHO PLANTS AND THE MAN WHO WATERS HAVE ONE PURPOSE, AND EACH WILL BE REWARDED ACCORDING TO HIS OWN LABOR. FOR WE ARE GOD'S FELLOW WORKERS; YOU ARE GOD'S FEILD, GOD'S BUILDING.

BY THE GRACE GOD HAS GIVEN ME, I LAID A FOUNDATION AS AN EXPERT BUILDER, AND SOMEONE ELSE IS BUILDING ON IT. BUT EACH ONE SHOULD BE CAREFUL HOW HE BUILDS. FOR NO ONE CAN LAY ANY FOUNDATION OTHER THAN THE ONE ALREADY LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. IF ANY MAN BUILDS ON THIS FOUNDATION USING GOLD, SILVER, COSTLY STONES, WOOD HAY OR STRAW, HIS WORK WILL BE SHOWN FOR WHAT IT IS, BECAUSE THE DAY WILL BRING IT TO LIGHT. IT WILL BE REVEALED WITH FIRE, AND THE FIRE WILL TEST THE QUALITY OF EACH MAN'S WORK. IF WHAT HE HAS BUILT SURVIVES, HE WILL RECEIVE HIS REWARD. IF IT IS BURNED UP, HE WILL SUFFER LOSS; HE HIMSELF WILL BE SAVED, BUT ONLY AS ONE ESCAPING THROUGH THE FLAMES.

DON'T YOU KNOW THAT YOU YOURSELVES ARE GOD'S TEMPLE AND THAT GOD'S SPIRIT LIVES IN YOU? IF ANYONE DESTROYS GOD'S TEMPLE, GOD WILL DESTROY HIM; FOR GOD'S TEMPLE IS SACRED, AND YOU ARE THAT TEMPLE. DO NOT DECEIVE YOURSELVES. IF ANY ONE OF YOU THINKS HE IS WISE BY THE STANDARDS OF THIS AGE, HE SHOULD BECOME A "FOOL" SO THAT HE MAY BECOME WISE. FOR THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD IS FOOLISHNESS IN GOD'S SIGHT. AS IT IS WRITTEN: "GOD CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS", AND AGAIN, "THE LORD KNOWS THAT THE THOUGHTS OF THE WISE ARE FUTILE." SO THEN, NO MORE BOASTING ABOUT MEN! ALL THINGS ARE YOURS, WHETHER PAUL OR APOLLOS OR CEPHAS OR THE WORLD OR LIFE OR DEATH OR THE PRESENT OR THE FUTURE - ALL ARE YOURS, AND YOU ARE OF CHRIST, AND CHRIST IS OF GOD.

APOSTLES OF CHRIST

SO THEN, MEN OUGHT TO REGARD US AS SERVANTS 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. THEREFORE JUDGE NOTHING BEFORE THE APPOINTED TIME; WAIT TILL THE LORD COMES. CHRIST WILL BRING TO LIGHT WHAT IS HIDDEN IN DARKNESS AND WILL EXPOSE THE MOTIVES OF MEN'S HEARTS. AT THAT TIME EACH WILL RECIEVE HIS PRAISE FROM GOD.

NOW BROTHERS, I HAVE APPLIED THESE THINGS TO MYSELF AND APOLLOS FOR YOUR BENEFIT, SO THAT YOU MAY LEARN FROM US THE MEANING OF THE SAYING, "DO NOT GO BEYOND WHAT IS WRITTEN." THEN YOU WILL NOT TAKE PRIDE IN ONE MAN OVER AGAINST ANOTHER. FOR WHO MAKES YOU DEFFERENT FRO ANYONE ELSE? WHAT DO YOU HAVE THAT YOU DID NOT RECIEVE? AND IF YOU DID RECIEVE IT, WHY DO YOU BOAST AS THOUGH YOU DID NOT? (1Cor.3:1-4:7)

I HAVE FOLLOWED JESUS TO GOD THE FATHER WHO NOW TEACHES ME HOW TO LIVE LIKE JESUS, HOW TO BE A SON LIKE JESUS. WITH GOD AS MY TEACHER I HAVE NO DOUBT I WILL GET IT RIGHT.

"GOD YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU!" AMEN.

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!

LIVE BY THE SPIRIT AND YOU WILL NOT GRATIFY THE SINFUL NATURE!

TODAY I AM KINGDOM MINDED AND I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD. BECAUSE I AM WILLING TO DO WHATEVER GOD'S WORDS WOULD HAVE ME DO EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. IF GOD'S WORDS SAYS DO IT THAT'S WHAT I DO, IF GOD'S SPIRIT SAYS WRITE IT THAT'S WHAT I WRITE, AND IF GOD'S VOICE SAYS SPEAK IT THAT'S WHAT I SPEAK.

I HAVE FAITH IN GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I TRUST GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I BELIEVE GOD'S WORDS ARE TRUE.

I AM A SPIRITUAL MAN, AND I WORSHIP GOD WITH SPIRITUAL WORDS.

THIS IS WHAT WE SPEAK, NOT IN WORDS TAUGHT 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.2:13-16)

SO I FIND THIS LAW AT WORK: WHEN I WANT TO DO GOOD, EVIL IS RIGHT THERE WITH ME. FOR IN MY INNER BEING I DELIGHT IN GOD'S LAW; BUT I SEE ANOTHER LAW AT WORK IN MY MEMBERS OF MY BODY, WAGING WAR AGAINST THE LAW OF MY MIND AND MAKING ME A PRISONER OF THE LAW OF SIN AT WORK WITHIN MY MEMBERS. WHAT A WRETCHED MAN I AM! WHO WILL RESCUE ME FROM THIS BODY OF DEATH? THANKS BE TO GOD - THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!
SO THEN, I MYSELF IN MY MIND AM A SLAVE TO GOD'S LAW, BUT IN THE SINFUL NATURE A SLAVE TO THE LAW OF SIN.(Rom.7:21-25)

IN ROMANS 8 LIFE THROUGH THE SPIRIT. IN Gal.5 LIFE BY THE SPIRIT. "WHAT A WRETCHED MAN I AM! WHO WILL RESCUE ME FROM THIS BODY OF DEATH? THANKS BE TO GOD - THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. IT IS THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST WE ARE RESCUED.

YOU, MY BROTHERS, WERE CALLED TO BE FREE. BUT DO NOT USE YOUR FREEDOM TO INDULGE THE SINFUL NATURE; RATHER, SERVE ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE. THE ENTIRE LAW IS SUMMED UP IN A SINGLE COMMAND: "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." IF YOU KEEP ON BITING AND DEVOURING EACH OTHER, WATCH OUT OR YOU BE DESTROYED BY EACH OTHER. SO I SAY, LIVE BY THE SPIRIT, AND YOU WILL NOT GRATIFY THE DESIRES OF THE SINFUL NATURE. FOR THE SINFUL NATURE DESIRES WHAT IS CONTRARY TO THE SPIRIT, AND THE SPIRIT WHAT IS CONTRARY TO THE SINFUL NATURE. THEY ARE IN CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER, SO THAT YOU DO NOT DO WHAT YOU WANT. BUT IF YOU ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT, YOU ARE NOT UNDER LAW.

THE ACTS OF THE SINFUL NATURE ARE OBVIOUS: SEXUAL IMMORALITY, IMPURITY AND DEBAUCHERY; IDOLATRY AND WITCHCRAFT; HATRED, DISCORD, JEALOUSY, FITS OF RAGE, SELFISH AMBITION, DISSENSIONS, FACTIONS AND ENVY; DRUNKENESS, ORGIES, AND THE LIKE. I WARN YOU, AS I DID BEFORE, THAT THOSE WHO LIVE LIKE THIS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS AND INNER SELF- CONTROL. AGAINST SUCH THINGS THERE IS NO LAW. THOSE WHO BELONG TO CHRIST JESUS HAVE CRUCIFIED THE SINFUL NATURE WITH ITS PASSIONS AND DESIRES. SINCE WE LIVE BY THE SPIRIT, LET US KEEP IN STEP WITH SPIRIT. LET US NOT BECOME CONCEITED, PROVOKING AND ENVYING EACH OTHER.

DOING GOOD TO ALL

BROTHER'S, IF SOMEONE IS CAUGHT IN A SIN, YOU WHO ARE SPIRITUAL SHOULD RESTORE HIM GENTLY. BUT WATCH YOURSELF, OR YOU MAY BE TEMPTED. CARRY EACH OTHER'S BURDENS, AND IN THIS WAY YOU WILL FULFILL THE LAW OF CHRIST. IF ANYONE THINKS HE IS SOMETHING WHEN HE IS NOTHING, HE DECEIVES HIMSELF. EACH ONE SHOULD TEST HIS OWN ACTIONS. THEN HE CAN TAKE PRIDE IN HIMSELF, WITHOUT COMPARING HIMSELF TO SOMEBODY ELSE, FOR EACH ONE SHOULD CARRY HIS OWN LOAD. ANYONE WHO RECEIVES INSTRUCTION IN THE WORD MUST SHARE ALL GOOD THINGS WITH HIS INSTRUCTOR.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED: GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED. A MAN REAPS WHAT HE SOWS. THE ONE WHO SOWS TO PLEASE HIS SINFUL NATURE, FROM THAT NATURE WILL REAP DESTRUCTION; THE ONE WHO SOWS TO PLEASE THE SPIRIT, FROM THE SPIRIT WILL REAP ETERNAL LIFE. LET US NOT BECOME WEARY IN DOING GOOD, FOR AT THE PROPER TIME WE WILL REAP A HARVEST IF WE DO NOT GIVE UP. THEREFORE, AS WE HAVE OPPORTUNITY, LET US DO GOOD TO ALL PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO BELONG TO THE FAMILY OF BELIEVERS.
(Gal.5:13-6:10)

I HAVE FOLLOWED JESUS TO GOD THE FATHER WHO NOW TEACHES ME HOW TO LIVE LIKE JESUS, HOW TO BE A SON LIKE JESUS. WITH GOD AS MY TEACHER I HAVE NO DOUBT I WILL GET IT RIGHT.

"GOD YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU!" AMEN.

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!

GOD'S FUTURE GLORY IS BEING REVEALED IN ME NOW!

TODAY I AM KINGDOM MINDED AND I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD. BECAUSE I AM WILLING TO DO WHATEVER GOD'S WORDS WOULD HAVE ME DO EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. IF GOD'S WORDS SAYS DO IT THAT'S WHAT I DO, IF GOD'S SPIRIT SAYS WRITE IT THAT'S WHAT I WRITE, AND IF GOD'S VOICE SAYS SPEAK IT THAT'S WHAT I SPEAK.

I HAVE FAITH IN GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I TRUST GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I BELIEVE GOD'S WORDS ARE TRUE.

I AM A SPIRITUAL MAN, AND I WORSHIP GOD WITH SPIRITUAL WORDS.

THIS IS WHAT WE SPEAK, NOT IN WORDS TAUGHT 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.2:13-2:16)

FUTURE GLORY

I CONSIDER THAT OUR PRESENT SUFFERINGS ARE NOT WORTH COMPARING WITH THE GLORY THAT WILL BE REAVELED IN US. THE CREATION WAITS IN EAGER EXPECTATION FOR THE SONS OF GOD TO BE REVEALED. FOR THE CREATION WAS SUBJECTED TO FRUSTRATION, NOT BY ITS OWN CHOICE, BUT BY THE WILL OF GOD THE ONE WHO SUBJECTED IT, IN HOPE THAT THE CREATION ITSELF WILL BE LIBERATED FROM ITS BONDAGE TO DECAY AND BROUGHT INTO THE GLORIOUS FREEDOM OF THE CHLIDREN OF GOD.

WE KNOW THAT THE WHOLE CREATION HAS BEEN GROANING AS IN THE PAINS OF CHILDBIRTH RIGHT UP TO THE PRESENT TIME. NOT ONLY SO, BUT WE OURSELVES, WHO HAVE THE FIRSTFRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, GROAN INWARDLY AS WE WAIT EAGERLY FOR OUR ADOPTION AS SONS, THE REDEMPTION OF OUR BODIES. FOR IN THIS HOPE WE WERE SAVED. BUT HOPE THAT IS SEEN IS NO HOPE AT ALL. WHO HOPES FOR WHAT HE ALREADY HAS? BUT IF WE HOPE FOR WHAT WE DO NOT YET HAVE, WE WAIT FOR IT PATIENTLY.

IN THE SAME WAY, THE SPIRIT HELPS US IN OUR WEAKNESS. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE OUGHT TO PRAY FOR, BUT THE SPIRIT HIMSELF INTERCEDES FOR US WITH GROANS THAT HUMAN WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS. AND GOD WHO SEARCHES OUR HEARTS KNOWS THE MIND OF THE SPIRIT, BECAUSE THE SPIRIT INTERCEDES FOR THE SAINTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOD'S WILL. AND WE KNOW THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD WORKS FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM, WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING TO GOD'S PURPOSE. FOR THOSE GOD FORKNEW GOD ALSO PREDESTINED TO BE CONFORMED TO THE LIKENESS OF HIS SON, THAT HE MIGHT BE THE FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BROTHERS. AND THOSE GOD PREDESTINE, GOD ALSO CALLED; THOSE GOD CALLED, GOD ALSO JUSTIFIED; THOSE GOD JUSTIFIED, GOD ALSO GLORIFIED.

WHAT, THEN, SHALL WE SAY IN RESPONSE TO THIS? IF GOD IS FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US? GOD WHO DID NOT SPARE HIS OWN SON, BUT GAVE CHRIST UP FOR US ALL - HOW WILL GOD NOT ALSO, ALONG WITH CHRIST, GRACIOUSLY GIVE US ALL THINGS? WHO WILL BRING ANY CHARGE AGAINST THOSE WHOM GOD HAS CHOSEN? IT IS GOD WHO JUSTIFIES. WHO IS HE THAT CONDEMS? CHRIST JESUS, WHO DIED - MORE THAN THAT, WHO WAS RAISED TO LIFE - IS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD AND IS ALSO INTERCEDING FOR US. WHO SHALL SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF CHRIST? SHALL TROUBLE OR HARDSHIP OR PERSECUTION OR FAMINE OR NAKEDNESS OR DANGER OR SWORD? AS IT IS WRITTEN: "FOR YOUR SAKE WE FACE DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE ARE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED."

NO, IN ALL THESE THINGS WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH GOD WHO LOVED US. FOR I AM CONVINCED THAT NEITHER DEATH NOR LIFE, NEITHER ANGLES NOR DEMONS, NEITHER THE PRESENT NOR THE FUTURE, NOR ANY POWERS, NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH, NOR ANYTHING ELSE IN ALL CREATION, WILL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD. (Rom.8:18-39)

"GOD YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU!" AMEN.

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 LIVE LIFE THROUGH THE SPIRIT

TODAY I AM KINGDOM MINDED AND I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD. BECAUSE I AM WILLING TO DO WHATEVER GOD'S WORDS WOULD HAVE ME DO EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. IF GOD'S WORDS SAYS DO IT THAT'S WHAT I DO, IF GOD'S SPIRIT SAYS WRITE IT THAT'S WHAT I WRITE, AND IF GOD'S VOICE SAYS SPEAK IT THAT'S WHAT I SPEAK.

I HAVE FAITH IN GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I TRUST GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I BELIEVE GOD'S WORDS ARE TRUE.

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)

I AM A SPIRITUAL MAN, AND I WORSHIP GOD WITH SPIRITUAL WORDS.

THIS IS WHAT WE SPEAK, NOT IN WORDS TAUGHT 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.2:13-2:16)

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 HIS WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. (John 4:23,24)

LIFE THROUGH THE SPIRIT

THEREFORE, THERE IS NOW NO CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, BECAUSE THROUGH CHRIST JESUS THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE SET ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. FOR WHAT THE LAW WAS POWERLESS TO DO IN THAT IT WAS WEAKENED BY THE SINFUL NATURE, GOD DID BY SENDING HIS OWN SON IN THE LIKENESS OF SINFUL MAN TO BE A SIN OFFERING. AND SO GOD CONDEMNED SIN IN SINFUL MAN, IN ORDER THAT THE RIGHTEOUS REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW MIGHT BE FULLY MET IN US, WHO DO NOT LIVE ACCORDING TO THE SINFUL NATURE BUT ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT.

THOSE WHO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE SINFUL NATURE HAVE THEIR MINDS SET ON WHAT THAT NATURE DESIRES; BUT THOSE WHO LIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPIRIT HAVE THEIR MINDS SET ON WHAT THE SPIRIT DESIRES. THE MIND OF SINFUL MAN IS DEATH, BUT THE MIND CONTROLLED BY THE SPIRIT IS LIFE AND PEACE; THE SINFUL MIND IS HOSTILE TO GOD, IT DOES NOT SUBMIT TO GOD'S LAW, NOR CAN IT DO SO. THOSE CONTROLLED BY THE SINFUL NATURE CANNOT PLEASE GOD.

YOU, HOWEVER, ARE CONTROLLED NOT BY THE SINFUL NATURE BUT BY THE SPIRIT, IF THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVES IN YOU. AND IF ANYONE DOES NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE DOES NOT BELONG TO CHRIST. BUT IF CHRIST IS IN YOU, YOUR BODY IS DEAD BECAUSE OF SIN, YET YOUR SPIRIT IS ALIVE BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. AND IF THE SPIRIT OF GOD WHO RAISED JESUS FORM THE DEAD IS LIVING IN YOU, GOD WHO RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD WILL ALSO GIVE LIFE TO YOUR MORTAL BODIES THROUGH GOD'S SPIRIT, WHO LIVES IN YOU.

THEREFORE, BROTHERS, WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION-- BUT IT IS NOT TO THE SINFUL NATURE, TO LIVE ACCORDING TO IT. FOR IF YOU LIVE ACCORDING TO THE SINFUL NATURE, YOU WILL DIE; BUT IF BY THE SPIRIT YOU PUT TO DEATH THE MISDEEDS OF THE BODY, YOU WILL LIVE, BECAUSE THOSE WHO ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD ARE SONS OF GOD. FOR YOU DID NOT RECEIVE A SPIRIT THAT MAKES YOU A SLAVE AGAIN TO FEAR, BUT YOU RECEIVED THE SPIRIT OF SONSHIP. AND BY THE SPIRIT WE CRY, "ABBA, FATHER." THE SPIRIT HIMSELF TESTIFIES WITH OUR SPIRIT THAT WE ARE GOD'S CHILDREN. NOW IF WE ARE CHILDREN, THEN WE ARE HEIRS - HEIRS OF GOD AND CO-HEIRS WITH CHRIST, IF INDEED WE SHARE IN CHRIST'S SUFFERINGS IN ORDER THAT WE MAY ALSO SHARE IN CHRIST'S GLORY. (Rom.8:1-17)

FUTURE GLORY IS WHERE THE STORY WILL CONTINUE IN THE NEXT POST. (Rom.8:18-39)

I HAVE FOLLOWED JESUS TO GOD THE FATHER WHO NOW TEACHES ME HOW TO LIVE LIKE JESUS, HOW TO BE A SON LIKE JESUS. WITH GOD AS MY TEACHER I HAVE NO DOUBT I WILL GET IT RIGHT.

"GOD YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU!" AMEN.

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 AM A SPIRITUAL MAN, AND I WORSHIP GOD WITH SPIRITUAL WORDS!

TODAY I AM KINGDOM MINDED AND I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD. BECAUSE I AM WILLING TO DO WHATEVER GOD'S WORDS WOULD HAVE ME DO EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. IF GOD'S WORDS SAYS DO IT THAT'S WHAT I DO, IF GOD'S SPIRIT SAYS WRITE IT THAT'S WHAT I WRITE, AND IF GOD'S VOICE SAYS SPEAK IT THAT'S WHAT I SPEAK.

I HAVE FAITH IN GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I TRUST GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I BELIEVE GOD'S WORDS ARE TRUE.

THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND JESUS MADE HIS DWELLING AMONG US. WE HAVE SEEN JESUS GLORY, THE GLORY OF THE ONE AND ONLY, WHO CAME FROM THE FATHER, FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH. (John 1:14)

IT IS BECAUSE OF GOD THAT YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO HAS BECOME FOR US WISDOM FROM GOD - THAT IS, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS AND REDEMPTION. THEREFORE, AS IT IS WRITTEN: "LET HIM WHO BOASTS BOAST IN THE LORD."...….
WE DO, HOWEVER, SPEAK A MESSAGE OF WISDOM AMONG THE MATURE, BUT NOT THE WISDOM OF THIS AGE OR OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE, WHO ARE COMING TO NOTHING. NO, WE SPEAK OF GOD'S SECRET WISDOM, A WISDOM THAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN AND THAT GOD DESTINED FOR OUR GLORY BEFORE TIME BEGAN. NONE OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE UNDERSTOOD IT, FOR IF THEY HAD, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY. 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 HIS 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 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. (1Cor1:30-2:16)

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 HIS WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. (John 4:23,24)

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 YOUE SPIRITUAL ACT OF WORSHIP. (Rom.12:1)

I AM A SPIRITUAL MAN, AND I WORSHIP GOD WITH SPIRITUAL WORDS.

BECAUSE JESUS SAID: 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)

"GOD YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU!" AMEN.

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!

UNITY IN THE BODY OF CHRIST!

TODAY I AM KINGDOM MINDED AND I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD. BECAUSE I AM WILLING TO DO WHATEVER GOD'S WORDS WOULD HAVE ME DO EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. IF GOD'S WORDS SAYS DO IT THAT'S WHAT I DO, IF GOD'S SPIRIT SAYS WRITE IT THAT'S WHAT I WRITE, AND IF GOD'S VOICE SAYS SPEAK IT THAT'S WHAT I SPEAK.

I HAVE FAITH IN GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I TRUST GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I BELIEVE GOD'S WORDS ARE TRUE.

UNITY IN THE BODY OF CHRIST

JUST AS EACH OF US HAS ONE BODY WITH MANY MEMBERS, AND THESE MEMBERS DO NOT HAVE THE SAME FUNCTION, SO IN CHRIST WE WHO ARE MANY FORM ONE BODY, AND EACH MEMBER BELONGS TO ALL THE OTHERS. (Rom.12:4-5)

THE BODY IS A UNIT, THOUGH IT IS MADE UP OF MANY PARTS; AND THOUGH ALL ITS PARTS ARE MANY, THEY FORM ONE BODY. SO IT IS WITH CHRIST. FOR WE WERE ALL BAPTIZED BY ONE SPIRIT INTO ONE BODY - WHETHER JEWS OR GREEKS, SLAVE OR FREE - AND WE WERE ALL GIVEN THE ONE SPIRIT TO DRINK.
(1Cor.12:12-13)

NOW YOU ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND EACH ONE OF YOU IS A PART OF IT.(1Cor.12:27)

AS A PRISONER FOR THE LORD, THEN, I URGE YOU TO LIVE A LIFE WORTHY OF THE CALLING YOU HAVE RECEIVED. BE COMPLETELY HUMBLE AND GENTLE; BE PATIENT, BEARING WITH ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE. MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO KEEP THE UNITY OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH THE BOND OF PEACE. THERE IS ONE BODY AND ONE SPIRIT - JUST AS YOU WERE CALLED TO ONE HOPE WHEN YOU WERE CALLED - ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM; ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL, WHO IS OVER ALL AND THROUGH ALL AND IN ALL.

BUT TO EACH ONE OF US GRACE HAS BEEN GIVEN AS CHRIST APPORTIONED IT. THIS IS WHY GOD SAYS: WHEN CHRIST ASCENDED ON HIGH, CHRIST LED CAPTIVES IN HIS TRAIN AND GAVE GIFTS TO MEN. WHAT DOES "CHRIST ASENDED" MEAN EXCEPT THAT CHRIST ALSO DESCENDED TO THE LOWER, EARTHLY REGIONS? CHRIST WHO DESCENDED IS THE VERY ONE WHO ASCENDED HIGHER THAN ALL THE HEAVENS, IN ORDER TO FILL THE WHOLE UNIVERSE.

IT WAS CHRIST WHO GAVE SOME TO BE APOSTLES, SOME TO BE PROPHETS, SOME TO BE EVANGELIST, AND SOME TO BE PASTORS AND TEACHERS, TO PREPARE GOD'S PEOPLE FOR WORKS OF SERVICE, SO THAT THE BODY OF CHRIST MAY BE BUILT UP UNTIL WE ALL REACH UNITY IN THE FAITH AND IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD AND BECOME MATURE, ATTAINING TO THE WHOLE MEASURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST.

THEN WE WILL NO LONGER BE INFANTS, TOSSED BACK AND FORTH BY THE WAVES, AND BLOWN HERE AND THERE BY EVERY WIND OF TEACHING AND BY THE CUNNING AND CRAFTINESS OF MEN IN THEIR DECEITFUL SCHEMING. INSTEAD, SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE, WE WILL IN ALL THINGS GROW UP INTO HIM WHO IS THE HEAD, THAT IS, CHRIST.

FROM CHRIST THE WHOLE BODY, JOINED AND HELD TOGETHER BY EVERY SUPPORTING LIGAMENT, GROWS AND BUILDS ITSELF UP IN LOVE. AS EACH PART DOES ITS WORK. (Eph.4:1-16)

AND GOD MADE KNOWN TO US THE MYSTERY OF GOD'S WILL ACCORDING TO GOD'S GOOD PLEASURE, WHICH GOD PURPOSED IN CHRIST, TO BE PUT INTO EFFECT WHEN THE TIMES WILL HAVE REACHED THEIR FULFILLMENT - TO BRING ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH TOGETHER UNDER ONE HEAD, EVEN CHRIST. IN CHRIST WE WERE ALSO CHOSEN, HAVING BEEN PREDESTINED ACCORDING TO THE PLAN OF GOD WHO WORKS OUT EVERYTHING IN CONFORMITY WITH THE PURPOSE OF GOD'S WILL. (Eph.1:9-11)

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 TRASURES OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE.(Col.2:2-3)

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 BODY, WHICH IS THE CHURCH.
(Col.1:24)

"GOD YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU!" AMEN.

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!

WE BELONG TO THE DAY BECAUSE THE LIGHT OF CHRIST SHINES IS IN US!

TODAY I AM KINGDOM MINDED AND I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD. BECAUSE I AM WILLING TO DO WHATEVER GOD'S WORDS WOULD HAVE ME DO EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. IF GOD'S WORDS SAYS DO IT THAT'S WHAT I DO, IF GOD'S SPIRIT SAYS WRITE IT THAT'S WHAT I WRITE, AND IF GOD'S VOICE SAYS SPEAK IT THAT'S WHAT I SPEAK.

I HAVE FAITH IN GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I TRUST GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I BELIEVE GOD'S WORDS ARE TRUE.

"BUT SINCE WE BELONG TO THE DAY, LET US BE INNER SELF-CONTROL, PUTTING ON FAITH AND LOVE AS A BREASTPLATE, AND THE HOPE OF SALVATION AS A HELMET. FOR GOD DID NOT APPOINT US TO SUFFER WRATH BUT TO RECEIVE SALVATION THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. CHRIST DIED FOR US SO THAT, WHETHER WE ARE AWAKE OR ASLEEP, WE MAY LIVE TOGRTHER WITH CHRIST. THEREFORE ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER AND BUILD EACH OTHER UP, JUST AS IN FACT YOU ARE DOING.

NOW WE ASK YOU, BROTHERS, TO RESPECT THOSE WHO WORK HARD AMONG YOU, WHO ARE OVER YOU IN THE LORD AND WHO ADMONISH YOU. HOLD THEM IN THE HIGHEST REGARD IN LOVE BECAUSE OF THEIR WORK. LIVE IN PEACE WITH EACH OTHER. AND WE URGE YOU, BROTHERS, WARN THOSE WHO ARE IDLE, ENCOURAGE THE TIMID, HELP THE WEAK, BE PATIENT WITH EVERYONE.

MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY PAYS BACK WRONG FOR WRONG, BUT ALWAYS TRY TO BE KIND TO EACH OTHER AND TO EVERYONE ELSE. BE JOYFUL ALWAYS; PRAY CONTINUALLY; GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR THIS IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS.

DO NOT PUT OUT THE SPIRIT'S FIRE; DO NOT TREAT PROPHECIES WITH CONTEMPT. TEST EVERYTHING, HOLD ON TO THE GOOD. AVOID EVERY KIND OF EVIL.

MAY GOD HIMSELF, THE GOD OF PEACE, SANCITY YOU THROUGH AND THROUGH. MAY YOUR WHOLE SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY BE KEPT BLAMELESS AT THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. THE ONE WHO CALLS YOU IS FAITHFUL AND GOD WILL DO IT.

BROTHERS, PRAY FOR US,. GREET ALL THE BROTHERS WITH A HOLY KISS. I CHARGE YOU BEFORE THE LORD TO HAVE THIS LETTER READ TO ALL THE BROTHERS.

THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOU! (1 Thessalonians 5:8-28)

"GOD YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU!" AMEN.

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 AM A SON OF GOD BY THE PLAN OF GOD!

TODAY I AM KINGDOM MINDED AND I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD. BECAUSE I AM WILLING TO DO WHATEVER GOD'S WORDS WOULD HAVE ME DO EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. IF GOD'S WORDS SAYS DO IT THAT'S WHAT I DO, IF GOD'S SPIRIT SAYS WRITE IT THAT'S WHAT I WRITE, AND IF GOD'S VOICE SAYS SPEAK IT THAT'S WHAT I SPEAK.

SONS OF GOD

I AM A SON OF GOD BY THE PLAN OF GOD. GOD'S PLAN IS MY COVENANT WITH GOD. GOD TEACHES ME THE PLAN, BECAUSE IT IS GOD'S VOICE I HEAR WHEN I PRAY GOD'S WORD. IT IS GOD'S THAT IS REVEALING THE PLAN TO ME NOW.

"YOU ARE ALL SONS OF GOD THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS, FOR ALL OF YOU WHO WERE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE CLOTHED YOURSELVES WITH CHRIST. THERE IS NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK, SLAVE NOR FREE, MALE NOR FEMALE, FOR YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. IF YOU BELONG TO CHRIST, THEN YOU ARE ABRAHAM'S SEED, AND HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE.

WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT AS LONG AS THE HEIR IS A CHILD, HE IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THE SLAVE, ALTHOUGH HE OWNS THE WHOLE ESTATE. HE IS SUBJECT TO GUARDIANS AND TRUSTEES UNTIL THE TIME SET BY HIS FATHER. SO ALSO, WHEN WE WERE CHILDREN, WE WERE IN SLAVERY UNDER THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE WORLD. BUT WHEN THE TIME HAD FULLY COME, GOD SENT HIS SON, BORN OF A WOMAN, BORN UNDER LAW, THAT WE MIGHT RECIEVE THE FULL RIGHTS OF SONS. BECAUSE YOU ARE SONS, GOD SENT THE SPIRIT OF HIS SON INTO OUR HEARTS, THE SPIRIT WHO CALLS OUT, "ABBA, FATHER." SO YOU ARE NO LONGER A SLAVE, BUT A SON; AND SINCE YOU ARE A SON, GOD HAS MADE YOU ALSO AN HEIR.
(Galatians 3:26- 4:7)

I HAVE FOLLOWED JESUS TO GOD THE FATHER WHO NOW TEACHES ME HOW TO LIVE LIKE JESUS, HOW TO BE A SON LIKE JESUS. WITH GOD AS MY TEACHER I HAVE NO DOUBT I WILL GET IT RIGHT.

"GOD YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU!" AMEN.

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!
