"GOD YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS! GOD, THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU, THE ALL POWERFUL, ALL KNOWING, PRESENT EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME GOD.
"I AM A CHILD OF GOD" THIS IS MY IDENTITY, GOD IS MY FATHER.
I AM IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD, I HAVE SEEN GOD'S KINGDOM BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN. I ENTER GOD'S KINGDOM BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN BORN OF WATER AND THE SPIRIT. (BAPTIZED) FLESH GIVES BIRTH TO FLESH, BUT THE SPIRIT GIVES BIRTH TO Spirit. I SPEAK OF WHAT I KNOW AND TESTIFY TO WHAT I HAVE SEEN. THIS IS MY TESTIMONY:
GOD, I AM BELIEVING CONTINUALLY IN JESUS' WORDS, AND I BIND THE POWER OF THE DEVIL AND GOD I LOOSE YOUR POWER IN THE EARTH. GOD YOU ARE WORKING IN ME AND THROUGH ME EVERY DAY. AMEN THANK YOU!
"MIRACLE - A HIGHLY IMPROBABLE OR EXTRAORDINARY EVENT, DEVELOPMENT, OR ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT BRINGS VERY WELCOME CONSEQUENCES."
THIS IS WHAT I AM PRAYING TO GOD FOR, THAT GOD BRING A HEALING TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. I HAVE FAITH IN THE WORDS THAT I PRAY GOD WILL HEAR MY PRAYERS. BECAUSE I AM IN A RELATIONSHIP GOD, GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE I HAVE FREEDOM FROM WHAT OTHERS THINK OR BELIEVE. I RENEW MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD DAILY BY OFFERING MY BODY AS A LIVING SACRIFICE THROUGH PRAYER, THAT IS HOLY AND PLEASING TO GOD - THIS IS MY SPIRITUAL ACT OF WORSHIP.
"LIVING AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT"
SO I TELL YOU THIS, AND INSIST ON IT IN THE LORD, THAT YOU MUST NO LONGER LIVE AS GENTILES DO, IN THE FUTILITY OF THEIR THINKING. THEY ARE DARKENED IN THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND SEPARATED FROM THE LIFE OF GOD BECAUSE OF THE IGNORANCE THAT IS IN THEM DUE TO THE HARDENING OF THEIR HEARTS. HAVING LOST ALL SENSITIVITY, THEY HAVE GIVEN THEMSELVES OVER TO SENSUALITY SO AS TO INDULGE IN EVERY KIND OF IMPURITY, WITH A CONTINUAL LUST FOR MORE. YOU, HOWEVER, DID NOT COME TO KNOW CHRIST THAT WAY. SURELY YOU HEARD OF CHRIST AND WERE TAUGHT IN CHRIST IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TRUTH THAT IS IN JESUS. YOU WERE TAUGHT, WITH REGARD TO YOUR FORMER WAY OF LIFE, TO PUT OFF YOUR OLD SELF, WHICH IS BEING CORRUPTED BY ITS DECEITFUL DESIRES; TO BE MADE NEW IN THE ATTITUDE OF YOU MINDS; AND TO PUT ON THE NEW SELF, CREATED TO BE LIKE GOD IN TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS.
THEREFORE EACH OF YOU MUST PUT OFF FALSEHOOD AND SPEAK TRUTHFULLY TO HIS NEIGHBOR, FOR WE ARE ALL MEMBERS OF ONE BODY. "IN YOUR ANGER DO NOT SIN": DO NOT LET THE SUN GO DOWN WHILE YOU ARE STILL ANGRY, AND DO NOT GIVE THE DEVIL A FOOTHOLD. HE WHO HAS BEEN STEALING MUST STEAL NO LONGER, BUT MUST WORK, DOING SOMETHING USEFUL WITH HIS OWN HANDS, THAT HE MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH THOSE IN NEED.
DO NOT LET ANY UNWHOLESOME TALK COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS, BUT ONLY WHAT IS HELPFUL FOR BUILDING OTHERS UP ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS, THAT IT MAY BENEFIT THOSE WHO LISTEN. AND DO NOT GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, WITH WHOM YOU WERE SEALED FOR THE DAY OF REDEMPTION. GET RID OF ALL BITTERNESS, RAGE AND ANGER, BRAWLING AND SLANDER, ALONG WITH EVERY FORM OF MALICE. BE KIND AND COMPASSIONATE TO ONE ANOTHER, FORGIVING EACH OTHER, JUST AS IN CHRIST GOD FORGAVE YOU.
BE IMITATORS OF GOD, THEREFORE, AS DEARLY LOVED CHILDREN AND LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE, JUST AS CHRIST LOVED US AND GAVE HIMSELF UP FOR US AS A FRAGRANT OFFERING AND SACRIFICE TO GOD.
BUT AMONG YOU THERE MUST NOT BE EVEN A HINT OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY, OR OF ANY KIND OF IMPURITY, OR OF GREED, BECAUSE THESE ARE IMPROPER FOR GOD'S HOLY PEOPLE. NOR SHOULD THERE BE OBSCENITY, FOOLISH TALK OR COARSE JOKING, WHICH ARE OUT OF PLACE, BUT RATHER THANKSGIVING. FOR OF THIS YOU CAN BE SURE: NO IMMORAL, IMPURE OR GREEDY PERSON - HAS ANY INHERITANCE IN THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST AND OF GOD. LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU WITH EMPTY WORDS, FOR BECAUSE OF SUCH THINGS GOD'S WRATH COMES ON THOSE WHO ARE DISOBEDIENT. THEREFORE DO NOT BE PARTNERS WITH THEM.
FOR YOU WERE ONCE DARKNESS, BUT NOW YOU ARE LIGHT IN THE LORD. LIVE AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT FOR THE FRUIT OF THE LIGHT CONSISTS IN ALL GOODNESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH AND FIND OUT WHAT PLEASES THE LORD. HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FRUITLESS DEEDS OF DARKNESS, BUT RATHER EXPOSE THEM. FOR IT IS SHAMEFUL EVEN TO MENTION WHAT THE DISOBEDIENT DO IN SECRET. BUT EVERYTHING EXPOSED BY THE LIGHT BECOMES VISIBLE, FOR IT IS LIGHT THAT MAKES EVERYTHING VISIBLE. THIS IS WHY IT IS SAID:
"WAKE UP O SLEEPER, RISE FROM THE DEAD, AND CHRIST WILL SHINE ON YOU."
BE VERY CAREFUL, THEN HOW YOU LIVE - NOT AS UNWISE BUT AS WISE, MAKING THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY, BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL.
THEREFORE DO NOT BE FOOLISH, BUT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LORD'S WILL IS. DO NOT GET DRUNK ON WINE, WHICH LEADS TO DEBAUCHERY. INSTEAD, BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT. SPEAK TO ONE ANOTHER WITH PSALMS, HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS. SING AND MAKE MUSIC IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD, ALWAYS GIVING THANKS TO GOD THE FATHER FOR EVERYTHING, IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. SUBMIT TO ONE ANOTHER OUT OF REVERENCE FOR CHRIST. (Eph.4:17-5:21)
WALKING IN THE LIGHT
THIS IS THE MESSAGE WE HAVE HEARD FROM GOD AND DECLARE TO YOU: GOD IS LIGHT; IN GOD THERE IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL. IF WE CLAIM TO HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD YET WALK IN THE DARKNESS, WE LIE AND DO NOT LIVE BY THE TRUTH. BUT IF WE WALK IN THE LIGHT, AS GOD IS IN THE LIGHT, WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER, AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS, GOD'S SON, PURIFIES US FROM ALL SIN.
IF WE CLAIM TO BE WITHOUT SIN, WE DECEIVE OURSELVES AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US. IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, GOD IS FAITHFUL AND JUST AND WILL FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. IF WE CLAIM WE HAVE NOT SINNED, WE MAKE GOD OUT TO BE A LIAR AND GOD'S WORD HAS NO PLACE IN OUR LIVES. (1 John 1:5-10)
SO I LIVE AS A CHILD OF THE LIGHT BY WALKING IN THE LIGHT. CHRIST IS THE LIGHT THAT SHINES ON ME. GOD SHINES THE LIGHT ON ME THAT WE MAY HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH EACH OTHER. THANKS BE TO GOD THE FATHER FOR THE LIGHT!
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!
