I BELIEVE I AM THE FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BROTHERS BECAUSE GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST AND I HAVE RECEIVED THE GIFT OF UNDERSTANDING.
MY MINISTRY IS FOR ALL GOD'S PEOPLE TO KNOW HOW DEEPLY I CARE FOR THEM IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, WHO HAS SUFFERED NOT ONLY FOR ME, BUT ALSO FOR THEM.
ALL I HAVE IS YOURS, AND ALL YOU HAVE IS MINE.
WHEN JESUS SAID THIS HE WAS PRAYING FOR HIS DISCIPLES, TO GOD. AS A DISCIPLES OF JESUS I UNDERSTAND THAT ALL I HAVE BELONGS TO GOD AND ALL GOD HAS BELONGS TO ME. SO EVERYTHING BELONGS TO GOD, IN MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD HE DETERMINES WHAT BELONGS TO ME. SO GOD DETERMINES THE WORD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND AND GOD DETERMINES THE TIME I RECEIVE THE UNDERSTANDING. GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST, GOD HAS REVEALED A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST. THIS IS THE PATTERN:
"THE SPIRIT CLEARLY SAYS THAT IN LATER TIMES SOME WILL ABANDON THE FAITH AND FOLLOW DECEIVING SPIRITS AND THINGS TAUGHT BY DEMONS. SUCH TEACHING COME THROUGH HYPOCRITICAL LIARS, WHOSE CONSCIENCES HAVE BEEN SEARED AS WITH A HOT IRON. THEY FORBID PEOPLE TO MARRY AND ORDER THEM TO ABSTAIN FROM CERTAIN FOODS, WHICH GOD CREATED TO BE RECEIVED WITH THANKSGIVING BY THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND WHO KNOW THE TRUTH. FOR EVERYTHING GOD CREATED IS GOOD, AND NOTHING IS TO BE REJECTED IF IT IS RECEIVED WITH THANKSGIVING, BECAUSE IT IS CONSECRATED BY THE WORD OF GOD AND PRAYER.
IF YOU POINT THESE THINGS OUT TO THE BROTHERS, YOU WILL BE A GOOD MINISTER OF CHRIST JESUS, BROUGHT UP IN THE TRUTHS OF THE FAITH AND OF THE GOOD TEACHING THAT YOU HAVE FOLLOWED. HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GODLESS MYTHS AND OLD WIVES' TALES; RATHER, TRAIN YOURSELF TO BE GODLY. FOR PHYSICAL TRAINING IS OF SOME VALUE, BUT GODLINESS HAS VALUE FOR ALL THINGS, HOLDING PROMISE FOR BOTH THE PRESENT LIFE AND THE LIFE TO COME.
THIS IS A TRUSTWORTHY SAYING THAT DESERVES FULL ACCEPTANCE (AND FOR THIS I LABOR AND STRIVE), THAT I HAVE PUT MY HOPE IN THE LIVING GOD, WHO IS THE SAVIOR OF ALL MEN, AND ESPECIALLY OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE.
COMMAND AND TEACH THESE THINGS. DON'T LET ANYONE LOOK DOWN ON YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE YOUNG, BUT SET AN EXAMPLE FOR THE BELIEVERS IN SPEECH, IN LIFE, IN LOVE, IN FAITH AND IN PURITY. UNTIL I COME, DEVOTE YOURSELF TO THE PUBLIC READING OF SCRIPTURE, TO PREACHING AND TO TEACHING. DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR GIFT, WHICH WAS GIVEN YOU THROUGH A PROPHETIC MESSAGE.
BE DILIGENT IN THESE MATTERS; GIVE YOURSELF WHOLLY TO THEM, SO THAT EVERYONE MAY SEE YOUR PROGRESS. WATCH YOUR LIFE AND DOCTRINE CLOSELY. PERSEVERE IN THEM, BECAUSE IF YOU DO, YOU WILL SAVE BOTH YOURSELF AND YOUR HEARERS.
(1 Tim.4:1-16)
"HUMILITY IS ESSENTIAL FOR TRUE WISDOM."
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)
I HAVE FOLLOWED JESUS TO GOD THE FATHER WHO NOW TEACHES ME HOW TO LIVE LIKE JESUS, HOW TO BE A SON LIKE JESUS,HOW TO LOVE LIKE JESUS. WITH GOD AS MY TEACHER I HAVE NO DOUBT I WILL GET IT RIGHT.
"CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANKS BE TO GOD." AMEN!

FOR WE WERE ALL BAPTIZED BY ONE SPIRIT INTO ONE BODY - WHETHER JEW OR GREEK, SLAVE OR FREE - AND WE WERE ALL GIVEN THE ONE SPIRIT TO DRINK." (1 Cor.11-13)

MY BROTHERS IN CHRIST, GOD'S SPIRIT COMPELS THE WISE MEN AND US TO COME TO HIM. FOR THE JOY TO FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD!
I BELIEVE I AM THE FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BROTHERS BECAUSE GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST AND I HAVE RECEIVED THE GIFT OF UNDERSTANDING.
MY MINISTRY IS FOR ALL GOD'S PEOPLE TO KNOW HOW DEEPLY I CARE FOR THEM IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, WHO HAS SUFFERED NOT ONLY FOR ME, BUT ALSO FOR THEM.
EPIPHANY SUNDAY - IS A CELEBRATION OF GOD'S GLORY REVEALED IN THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST. THAT GLORY IS PROCLAIMED FOR ALL NATIONS AND PEOPLE. LIKE THE LIGHT OF THE STAR THAT GUIDED THE MAGI TO JESUS, THE LIGHT OF CHRIST REVEALS WHO WE ARE: CHILDREN OF GOD WHO ARE CLAIMED AND WASHED IN THE WATERS OF BAPTISM. WE ARE SENT OUT TO BE BEACONS OF LIGHT OF CHRIST, SHARING THE GOOD NEWS OF GOD'S LOVE TO ALL PEOPLE.
MY PASTOR ASKED A GREAT QUESTION OF THE CONGREGATION TODAY. SHE FIRST ASK WHAT MADE THE MAGI FOLLOW THE STAR? AND THEN SHE ASKED WHAT MADE YOU COME TO CHURCH TODAY? THE MAGI WERE NOT COMPELLED BY ANY HUMAN FORCE TO FOLLOW THE STAR, NOR WAS I TO COME TO CHURCH.
THE READING SAYS THEY WERE OVERJOYED WHEN THE STAR STOPPED AND THEY FOUND THE TREASURE OF CHRIST IN THE MANGER. JUST AS I COME TO CHURCH TO RECEIVE THE TREASURE OF CHRIST FOUND IN THE WORD OF CHRIST. THE WISE MEN WERE COMPELLED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO FOLLOW THE STAR, JUST AS THE SPIRIT COMPELLED ME TO GO TO CHURCH AND RECEIVED THE WORD.
"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 RECEIVE 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. (Rom.8:12-16)
MY BROTHERS IN CHRIST, GOD'S SPIRIT COMPELS THE WISE MEN AND US TO COME TO HIM. FOR THE JOY TO FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD.
"HUMILITY IS ESSENTIAL FOR TRUE WISDOM."
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."

I BELIEVE I AM THE FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BROTHERS BECAUSE GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST AND I HAVE RECEIVED THE GIFT OF UNDERSTANDING!
HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST.
MY MINISTRY IS FOR ALL GOD'S PEOPLE TO KNOW HOW DEEPLY I CARE FOR THEM IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, WHO HAS SUFFERED NOT ONLY FOR ME, BUT ALSO FOR THEM.
MY CARE FOR YOU IS MY PRAYER FOR YOU, I PRAY FOR YOU AS I PRAY FOR MYSELF, I LOVE YOU AS MYSELF. IN THIS I HAVE FULFILLED JESUS' COMMAND: "MY COMMAND IS THIS: LOVE EACH OTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU." (John 15:12)
GOD SENT JESUS TO DIE FOR MY SINS AND THROUGH JESUS I HAVE A RECONCILED RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST AND GOD HAS REVEALED A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST. THIS PATTERN IS GOD'S PLAN FOR MY NEW CREATION; MY KINGDOM MIND, MY CHRIST MIND, MY CHRIST CHARACTER, AND MY CHRIST PERSONALITY.
TODAY I CLAIM FREEDOM FROM MY SINFUL NATURE AND THE POWER OF SIN IN MY LIFE. BECAUSE GOD'S PLAN IS WORKING IN MY LIFE - "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 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." (Romans 8:1-4)
"AND GOD WHO SEARCHES "MY" HEART 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 GOD, WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING TO GOD'S PURPOSE. FOR THOSE GOD FOREKNEW GOD ALSO PREDESTINED TO BE CONFORMED TO THE LIKENESS OF GOD'S SON, THAT HE MIGHT BE THE FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BROTHERS. AND THOSE GOD PREDESTINED, 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 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 CONDEMNS? CHRIST JESUS, WHO DIED - MORE THAN THAT, WHO WAS RAISED TO LIFE - IS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD AND IS ALSO INTERCEDING FOR ME."
(Romans 8:27-34)
I BELIEVE I AM THE FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BROTHERS BECAUSE GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST AND I HAVE RECEIVED THE GIFT OF UNDERSTANDING. "FOR THE LORD GIVES WISDOM, AND FROM GOD'S MOUTH COME KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING." (Proverbs 2:6)
"YET HE DID NOT WAVER THROUGH UNBELIEF REGARDING THE PROMISE OF GOD, BUT WAS STRENGTHENED IN HIS FAITH AND GAVE GLORY TO GOD, BEING FULLY PERSUADED THAT GOD HAD THE POWER TO WHAT GOD HAD PROMISED."
(Rom.4:20-21)
JANUARY 1, 2020 THIS IS MY PROMISE FROM GOD THAT ALL THESE WORDS ARE BEING FULFILLED IN ME NOW!
"HUMILITY IS ESSENTIAL FOR TRUE WISDOM."
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)
