THERE IS ONLY TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, THOSE THAT BELIEVE AND THOSE THAT DON'T BELIEVE!

 WE ARE GOD'S HANDS AND FEET IN THE WORLD, GOD WANTS US TO CARE ABOUT PEOPLE BECAUSE GOD CARES ABOUT PEOPLE. GOD WANTS ALL HIS PEOPLE TO KNOW GOD'S JOY AND GOD'S PEACE AND GOD'S LOVE. GOD WANTS TO RESTORE GOODNESS FOR ALL CREATION. DON'T LET ANYTHING COME BEFORE GOD.

TODAY WE ARE SO DIVIDED BECAUSE MY ENEMY THE DEVIL HAS  BLINDED US FROM THE TRUTH THAT THE DEVIL IS THE SOURCE OF ALL EVIL. SO WHEN EVIL HAPPENS IN THE WORLD REMEMBER NOT TO BLAME EACH OTHER FOR WHAT DEVIL IS DOING.

 JESUS SAID: "NOW" IS THE TIME FOR JUDGEMENT ON THIS WORLD; "NOW" THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD WILL BE DRIVEN OUT."  (John 12:31) THE DEVIL IS DEFEATED, THE BATTLE HAS BEEN WON, GOD IS VICTORIOUS!

THE WORD OF GOD HAS POWER OVER THE DEVIL. WHEN JESUS WAS TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL; JESUS ANSWERED "IT IS WRITTEN" THEN QUOTED THE WORD OF GOD. THE WRITTEN WORD HAS THE POWER TO DEFEAT THE DEVIL AND ALL HIS EVIL FORCES. I INVOKE THE WORD OF GOD IN THE WORLD TODAY BY SPEAKING THE WORD OUT OF MY MOUTH INTO MY HEART, BACK IN MY MOUTH INTO MY HEART. THIS IS A DIVINE CYCLE THAT POWERS GOD'S WORD.

CAN I GET AN AMEN FROM ALL WHO CALL ON GOD. AMEN!

"DO NOT REPAY ANYONE EVIL FOR EVIL. BE CAREFUL TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN THE EYES OF EVERYBODY. IF IT IS POSSIBLE, AS FAR AS IT DEPENDS ON YOU, LIVE AT PEACE WITH EVERYONE. DO NOT TAKE REVENGE, MY FRIENDS, BUT LEAVE ROOM FOR GOD'S WRATH, FOR IT IS WRITTEN: "IT IS MINE TO AVENGE; I WILL REPAY," SAYS THE LORD. ON THE CONTRARY: "IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM; IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM SOMETHING TO DRINK. IN DOING THIS, YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD. "DO NOT BE OVERCOME BY EVIL, BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD! (Romans 12:17-21)

THE DEVIL IS MY ENEMY, BECAUSE I AM A CHILD OF GOD, DESERVING OF LOVE AND RESPECT. AND GOD WILL USE ME TO CHANGE THE WORLD. ALL I KNOW IS JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED, JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR MY SINS AND THROUGH JESUS CHRIST I HAVE A RECONCILED RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD "NOW" THIS PRESENT MOMENT.

OUR COMMON SPIRITUAL ENEMY IS THE IGNORANCE OF OUR SPIRITUAL UPBRINGING. BECAUSE WE ARE BLINDED BY OUR SPIRITUAL ENEMY THE DEVIL TO KEEP US FROM UNDERSTANDING GOD'S SPIRITUAL PLAN FOR US:

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, AND THE ESSENCE OF THE ONE GOD IS, GOD IS ALL POWERFUL, GOD IS ALL KNOWING, GOD IS EVERYWHERE AT ONCE. GOD REVEALS HIMSELF TO US AS THE ALL POWERFUL FATHER GOD, THE ALL KNOWING JESUS GOD, AND THE PRESENT EVERYWHERE AT ONCE HOLY SPIRIT GOD. I GO TO GOD EVERYDAY FOR SPIRITUAL PROCESSING THROUGH THE ESSENCE OF PRAYER.

GOD WE ASK AND WE PRAY CREATE IN US A PURE HEART O GOD AND RENEW A STEADFAST SPIRIT WITHIN US. GOD WE ASK AND WE PRAY DO NOT CAST US FROM YOUR PRESCENCE OR TAKE YOUR HOLY SPIRIT FROM US. GOD WE ASK AND WE PRAY RESTORE TO US THE JOY OF YOUR SPIRITUAL SALVATION AND GRANT US A WILLING SPIRIT TO SUSTAIN US. THEN GOD WE WILL TEACH TRANSGRESSOR YOUR WAYS AND SINNERS WILL TURN BACK TO YOU. (Psalms 51:10-13)

GOD WE ARE BELIEVING CONTINUALLY IN JESUS WORDS, AND GOD WE BIND THE POWER OF THE DEVIL AND GOD WE RELEASE YOUR POWER IN THE EARTH. BECAUSE GOD YOU ARE WORKING IN US AND THROUGH US EVERYDAY!

SO I SAY GOD YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS AND GOD THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO US IS OUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU! AMEN.

I DEMONSTRATE MY LOVE FOR GOD BY PRAYING GOD'S LOVING WORDS TO HIM. THIS IS THE TRUTH I STAND UNDER. GOD'S LOVE FOR ME IS GOD'S WORDS TO ME! AND I RENEW THAT LOVE DAILY!

I TRULY UNDERSTAND THAT GOD SHOWS NO PARTIALITY, BUT IN EVERY NATION ANYONE WHO FEARS GOD AND DOES WHAT IS RIGHT IS ACCEPTABLE TO GOD. GOD COMMANDED US TO PREACH TO THE PEOPLE AND TO TESTIFY THAT JESUS IS THE ONE ORDAINED BY GOD AS JUDGE OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. ALL THE PROPHETS TESTIFY ABOUT CHRIST THAT EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN CHRIST RECEIVES FORGIVENESS OF SINS THROUGH CHRIST'S NAME. (Acts 10:34,35,42,43)

THE GOD WHO MADE THE WORLD AND EVERYTHING IN IT IS THE LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH AND DOES NOT LIVE IN TEMPLES BUILT BY HANDS. AND GOD IS NOT SERVED BY HUMAN HANDS, AS IF GOD NEEDED ANYTHING, BECAUSE GOD HIMSELF GIVES ALL MEN LIFE AND BREATH AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

FROM ONE MAN GOD MADE EVERY NATION OF MEN, THAT THEY SHOULD INHABIT THE WHOLE EARTH; AND GOD DETERMINED THE TIMES SET FOR THEM AND THE EXACT PLACES WHERE THEY SHOULD LIVE. GOD DID THIS SO THAT MEN WOULD SEEK GOD AND PERHAPS REACH OUT FOR GOD AND FIND GOD, THOUGH GOD IS NOT FAR FROM EACH ONE OF US.

FOR IN GOD WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING. AS SOME OF YOUR OWN POETS HAVE SAID, WE ARE GOD'S OFFSPRING. THEREFORE SINCE WE ARE GOD'S OFFSPRING, WE SHOULD NOT THINK THAT THE DIVINE BEING IS LIKE GOLD OR SILVER OR STONE - AN IMAGE MADE BY MAN'S DESIGN AND SKILL. IN THE PAST GOD OVERLOOKED SUCH IGNORANCE, BUT NOW GOD COMMANDS ALL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE TO REPENT. 

FOR GOD HAS SET A DAY WHEN GOD WILL JUDGE THE WORLD WITH JUSTICE BY THE MAN GOD HAS APPOINTED. GOD HAS GIVEN PROOF OF THIS TO ALL MEN BY RAISING CHRIST FROM THE DEAD. (Acts 17:24-31)

THERE IS ONLY TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, THOSE THAT BELIEVE AND THOSE THAT DON'T BELIEVE. I BELIEVE, AND THE SERMON TODAY WAS ON THOMAS THE APOSTLE WHO SAID HE WOULDN'T BELIEVE UNTIL HE SAW THE NAIL MARKS IN JESUS HANDS AND PUT HIS HAND IN JESUS SIDE. AND JESUS SHOWED UP AND SHOWED HIM AND HE SAID "MY LORD AND MY GOD!"

JESUS SAID TO HIM, "HAVE YOU BELIEVED BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN ME? JESUS THEN SAID "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN AND YET HAVE COME TO BELIEVED." I AM BLESSED BECAUSE I HAVE NOT SEEN BUT HAVE COME TO BELIEVE THROUGH FAITH. WE QUESTION THE SCRIPTURES AND DOUBT THAT THEY ARE TRUE AND THIS IS OK WITH GOD BECAUSE GOD KNOWS SOMETIMES FAITH NEEDS TO QUESTION IN ORDER TO BE MADE STRONGER. "FAITH" IS BEING SURE OF WHAT YOU HOPE FOR AND CERTAIN OF WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE. "I AM SURE CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS AND I AM CERTAIN THAT THE GOD I CAN'T SEE SENT CHRIST TO DIE FOR ME!

I HAVE FAITH THAT THESE WORDS ARE TRUE: "LET US FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS, THE AUTHOR AND PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH, WHO FOR THE JOY SET BEFORE HIM ENDURED THE CROSS, SCORNING ITS SHAME, AND SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF GOD. CONSIDER CHRIST WHO ENDURED SUCH OPPOSITION FROM SINFUL MEN, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT GROW WEARY AND LOSE HEART. (Hebrews 12:2-3)

I SWEAR THIS IS THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP ME GOD!

"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 GOD'S WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH." (John 4:23-24)

TODAY THE WORLD HAS FALLEN FOR A LIE, AND IT IS MY ENEMY THE DEVIL WHO HAS DECEIVED THEM, BECAUSE THE DEVIL IS THE FATHER OF ALL LIES. GOD'S WORD OF TRUTH IS STRONGER THAN THE DEVIL'S LIES.

TODAY WE CELEBRATE THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST AND THAT THE TOMB WAS FOUND EMPTY EASTER SUNDAY MORNING!

 WE ARE GOD'S HANDS AND FEET IN THE WORLD, GOD WANTS US TO CARE ABOUT PEOPLE BECAUSE GOD CARES ABOUT PEOPLE. GOD WANTS ALL HIS PEOPLE TO KNOW GOD'S JOY AND GOD'S PEACE AND GOD'S LOVE. GOD WANTS TO RESTORE GOODNESS FOR ALL CREATION. DON'T LET ANYTHING COME BEFORE GOD.

TODAY WE ARE SO DIVIDED BECAUSE MY ENEMY THE DEVIL HAS  BLINDED US FROM THE TRUTH THAT THE DEVIL IS THE SOURCE OF ALL EVIL. SO WHEN EVIL HAPPENS IN THE WORLD REMEMBER NOT TO BLAME EACH OTHER FOR WHAT DEVIL IS DOING.

LENT IS OUR FORTY DAY MARCH TO THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST. LENT ENDED WITH MAUNDY THURSDAY, WHERE WE GATHER WITH CHRISTIANS AROUND THE WORLD TO CELEBRATE THE THREE DAYS OF JESUS' DEATH AND RESURRECTION. TONIGHT WE REMEMBER CHRIST'S LAST MEAL WITH HIS DISCIPLES. THEN THERE IS GOOD FRIDAY WHERE LIFE AND DEATH STAND SIDE BY SIDE, WE STAND WITH THE DISCIPLES AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS, WE PRAY FOR THE WHOLE WORLD AS CHRIST'S DEATH OFFERS LIFE TO ALL. TODAY WE CELEBRATE THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST AND THAT THE TOMB WAS FOUND EMPTY EASTER SUNDAY MORNING.

THIS FACT EITHER HAS A MAJOR IMPACT ON  OUR LIVES OR NO IMPACT AT ALL, IT IS ALL OR NOTHING. THIS FACT EITHER AFFECTS HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE OR IT HAS NO EFFECT AT ALL. IF NO EFFECT AT ALL YOUR LIFE HAS NOT BEEN TRANSFORMED. THOSE WHO WERE AT THE TOMB AND HEARD THE MESSAGE THAT JESUS WAS ALIVE WERE CHANGED AND RAN FROM THE TOMB TELLING EVERYONE JESUS HAS RISEN. IF JESUS IS ALIVE THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING. IF CHRIST IS RISEN, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. AND IF CHRIST IS NOT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. CHRIST HAS INDEED BEEN RAISED FROM THE DEAD. CHRIST CONQUERED EVIL AND DEATH SO THAT WE COULD LIVE BOLD AND FREE. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.

OUR COMMON SPIRITUAL ENEMY IS THE IGNORANCE OF OUR SPIRITUAL UPBRINGING. BECAUSE WE ARE BLINDED BY OUR SPIRITUAL ENEMY THE DEVIL TO KEEP US FROM UNDERSTANDING GOD'S SPIRITUAL PLAN FOR:

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, AND THE ESSENCE OF THE ONE GOD IS, GOD IS ALL POWERFUL, GOD IS ALL KNOWING, GOD IS EVERYWHERE AT ONCE.

I DEMONSTRATE MY LOVE FOR GOD BY PRAYING GOD'S LOVING WORDS TO HIM. THIS IS THE TRUTH I STAND UNDER. GOD'S LOVE FOR ME IS GOD'S WORDS TO ME! AND I RENEW THAT LOVE DAILY!

SO AS I AM MARCHING TOWARDS THE CROSS OF CHRIST, I FOCUS  ON THE PROMISE MADE TO CHRIST. SO I AM NO LONGER A SLAVE  TO SIN, BUT A SON OF GOD; AND SINCE I AM A SON, GOD HAS MADE ME AN HEIR. SO I NOT ONLY LIVE BY THE SPIRIT I STAY IN STEP WITH THE SPIRIT. THAT WHATEVER PATH IS RIGHT, WHATEVER PATH IS FAIR, WHATEVER PATH IS JUST, MAY THESE BE THE PATHS I CHOOSE!

I SWEAR THIS IS THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP ME GOD!

"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 GOD'S WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH." (John 4:23-24)

TODAY THE WORLD HAS FALLEN FOR A LIE, AND IT IS MY ENEMY THE DEVIL WHO HAS DECEIVED THEM, BECAUSE THE DEVIL IS THE FATHER OF ALL LIES. GOD'S WORD OF TRUTH IS STRONGER THAN THE DEVIL'S LIES.

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD!

WE ARE GOD'S HANDS AND FEET IN THE WORLD, GOD WANTS US TO CARE ABOUT PEOPLE BECAUSE GOD CARES ABOUT PEOPLE. GOD WANTS ALL HIS PEOPLE TO KNOW GOD'S JOY AND GOD'S PEACE AND GOD'S LOVE. GOD WANTS TO RESTORE GOODNESS FOR ALL CREATION. DON'T LET ANYTHING COME BEFORE GOD.

LENT IS OUR FORTY DAY MARCH TO THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST. LENT IS A OPPORTUNE TIME TO RETURN TO THE GOD WHO RESCUES, TO RECEIVE THE GIFTS OF GOD'S GRACE, TO BELIEVE WITH THE HEART AND CONFESS WITH THE MOUTH THE WONDER OF GOD'S LOVE IN JESUS, AND TO RESIST TEMPTATION AT EVERY TURN. THIS IS NO SMALL PILGRIMAGE ON WHICH I HAVE  EMBARKED. IT IS A STRUGGLE JESUS KNEW. IT IS A STRUGGLE JESUS SHARES. THE NEARNESS OF THE LORD, IN BREAD AND WINE, WATER AND WORD, WILL UPHOLD AND SUSTAIN ME.

OUR COMMON SPIRITUAL ENEMY IS THE IGNORANCE OF OUR SPIRITUAL UPBRINGING. BECAUSE WE ARE BLINDED BY OUR SPIRITUAL ENEMY THE DEVIL TO KEEP US FROM UNDERSTANDING GOD'S SPIRITUAL PLAN FOR:

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, AND THE ESSENCE OF THE ONE GOD IS, GOD IS ALL POWERFUL, GOD IS ALL KNOWING, GOD IS EVERYWHERE AT ONCE. GOD REVEALS HIMSELF TO US AS THE ALL POWERFUL FATHER GOD, THE ALL KNOWING JESUS GOD, AND THE PRESENT EVERYWHERE AT ONCE HOLY SPIRIT GOD. I GO TO GOD EVERYDAY FOR SPIRITUAL PROCESSING THROUGH THE ESSENCE OF PRAYER.

"HUMBLE YOURSELVES, THEREFORE, UNDER GOD'S MIGHTY HAND, THAT GOD MAY LIFT YOU UP IN DUE TIME. CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON GOD BECAUSE GOD CARES FOR YOU THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. BE INNER SELF-CONTROLLED AND ALERT TO GOD'S WORD. YOUR ENEMY THE DEVIL PROWLS AROUND LIKE A ROARING LION LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO DEVOUR. RESIST THE DEVIL, STANDING FIRM IN THE FAITH, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BROTHERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD ARE UNDERGOING THE SAME KIND OF SUFFERINGS AS US. (SIN) 

AND THE GOD OF ALL GRACE, WHO CALLED YOU TO GOD'S ETERNAL GLORY IN CHRIST, AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LITTLE WHILE, GOD HIMSELF WILL RESTORE YOU IN CHRIST AND MAKE YOU STRONG IN CHRIST, FIRM IN CHRIST AND STEADFAST IN CHRIST. TO GOD BE THE POWER FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN! (1 Peter 5:6-11)

WHAT WE VALUE IS REFLECTED IN HOW WE LIVE. "FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE YOUR HEART WILL BE ALSO." (Matt.6:21)

UNDERSTANDING IS THE TRUTH YOU STAND UNDER, THIS IS THE TRUTH I STAND UNDER TODAY: THERE IS A FORMULA AND THERE IS A PRINCIPAL. THE FORMULA IS THE RECIPE FOR MY NEW CREATION AND THE PRINCIPAL IS THE WORD OF FAITH FOUND IN THE BIBLE. THE ACTION REQUIRED OF US THE HEARER OF THE WORD, IS TO SEEK A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD BASED ON GOD'S WORD. THIS ALL COMES FROM GOD, MY JOB IS TO ACCEPT AND RECEIVE AND BELIEVE WHAT GOD'S WORD SPEAKS TO ME.

I KNOW THAT I NEED GOD'S HELP TO DO THIS AND THAT IS WHY I RELY ON MY GOD DAILY THROUGH MEDITATION ON THE WORD AND PRAYER IN THE WORD. I SPEAK THE WORD OUT LOUD OUT OF MY MOUTH INTO MY HEART AND OUT OF MY HEART INTO MY MOUTH. THIS IS A DIVINE CYCLE THAT PRODUCES SPIRITUAL POWER. THIS SPIRITUAL POWER GIVES ME THE ABILTY TO BE IN A SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

"YOU SEE, AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME, WHEN WE WERE STILL POWERLESS, CHRIST DIED FOR THE UNGODLY. VERY RARELY WILL ANYONE DIE FOR A RIGHTEOUS MAN, THOUGH FOR A GOOD MAN SOMEONE MIGHT POSSIBLY DARE TO DIE. BUT GOD DEMONSTRATES GOD'S OWN LOVE FOR US IN THIS: WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US." (Rom.5:6-9)

I DEMONSTRATE MY LOVE FOR GOD BY PRAYING GOD'S LOVING WORDS TO HIM. THIS IS THE TRUTH I STAND UNDER. GOD'S LOVE FOR ME IS GOD'S WORDS TO ME! AND I RENEW THAT LOVE DAILY!

SO AS I AM MARCHING TOWARDS THE CROSS OF CHRIST, I FOCUS  ON THE PROMISE MADE TO CHRIST. SO I AM NO LONGER A SLAVE  TO SIN, BUT A SON OF GOD; AND SINCE I AM A SON, GOD HAS MADE ME AN HEIR.

TODAY THE WORLD HAS FALLEN FOR A LIE, AND IT IS MY ENEMY THE DEVIL WHO HAS DECEIVED THEM, BECAUSE THE DEVIL IS THE FATHER OF ALL LIES. GOD'S WORD OF TRUTH IS STRONGER THAN THE DEVIL'S LIES. 

WHEN GOD CREATED ADAM GOD HAD A PLAN FOR US, ADAM WAS A PATTERN OF THE ONE TO COME. THE ONE TO COME WAS JESUS CHRIST!

 WE ARE GOD'S HANDS AND FEET IN THE WORLD, GOD WANTS US TO CARE ABOUT PEOPLE BECAUSE GOD CARES ABOUT PEOPLE. GOD WANTS ALL HIS PEOPLE TO KNOW GOD'S JOY AND GOD'S PEACE AND GOD'S LOVE. GOD WANTS TO RESTORE GOODNESS FOR ALL CREATION. DON'T LET ANYTHING COME BEFORE GOD.

THE NEARNESS OF THE LORD, IN BREAD AND WINE, WATER AND WORD, WILL UPHOLD AND SUSTAIN ME.

OUR COMMON SPIRITUAL ENEMY IS THE IGNORANCE OF OUR SPIRITUAL UPBRINGING. BECAUSE WE ARE BLINDED BY OUR SPIRITUAL ENEMY THE DEVIL TO KEEP US FROM UNDERSTANDING GOD'S SPIRITUAL PLAN FOR US:

"NEVERTHELESS, DEATH REIGNED FROM THE TIME OF ADAM TO THE TIME OF MOSES, EVEN OVER THOSE WHO DID NOT SIN BY BREAKING A COMMAND AS ADAM DID, WHO WAS A PATTERN OF THE ONE TO COME." (Romans 5:14)

WHEN GOD CREATED ADAM GOD HAD A PLAN FOR US, ADAM WAS A PATTERN OF THE ONE TO COME. THE ONE TO COME WAS JESUS CHRIST. THAT PLAN WAS BROKEN WHEN ADAM SINNED. ADAM SINNED BECAUSE HE DISOBEYED GOD'S COMMAND AND EVEN THOUGH CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS TO PAY THE DEBT FOR ADAM'S AND OUR SIN AND TO RECONCIL OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THAT THE PATTERN COULD BE COMPLETED. THE PLAN GOD HAS FOR US GOES UNCOMPLETED TODAY BECAUSE THEIR IS SOME ACTION REQUIRED OF US. WE HAVE TO ACCEPT AND RECEIVE GOD'S INDVIDUAL PLAN FOR EACH OF US. THE SCRIPTURES BEAR THIS OUT IN MANY PLACES.

"IF WE ARE OUT OF OUR MIND, IT IS FOR THE SAKE OF GOD, IF WE ARE IN OUR RIGHT MIND, IT IS FOR YOU. FOR CHRIST'S LOVE COMPLES 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. WE IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF: BE RECONCILIED TO GOD. GOD MADE CHRIST WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT IN CHRIST WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.

AS GOD'S FELLOW WORKERS WE URGE YOU NOT TO RECEIVE GOD'S GRACE IN VAIN. FOR GOD SAYS, "IN THE TIME OF MY FAVOR I HEARD YOU. AND IN THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU." I TELL YOU, "NOW" IS THE TIME OF GOD'S FAVOR, "NOW" IS THE DAY OF SALVATION. (2 Corinthians 5:13-6:2)

SPIRITUAL SALVATION IS GOD'S PLAN FOR US TO RESTORE US SPIRITUALLY THAT WE CAN HAVE A SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. I DECLARE TO YOU ALL THAT GOD'S PLAN FOR ME IS ACTIVE AND ALIVE AND WORKING IN ME DAILY. AS JESUS SAID:

"ONCE, HAVING BEEN ASKED BY THE PHARISEES WHEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD WOULD COME, JESUS REPLIED, "THE KINGDOM OF GOD DOES NOT COME WITH YOUR CAREFUL OBSERVATION, NOR WILL PEOPLE SAY, 'HERE IT IS,' OR THERE IT IS,' BECAUSE THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU." (Luke 17:20-21)

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN ME "NOW" BECAUSE GOD'S WORDS ARE WITHIN ME "NOW"!

 DON'T LET THE KINGDOM OF GOD BE STOLEN FROM YOU BY YOUR SPIRITUAL ENEMY THE DEVIL. WHEN THE DEVIL COMES AND HE WILL, DO WHAT JESUS DID AND QUOTE THE WORD OF GOD TO HIM AND HE MUST FLEE FROM YOU! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

SO AS I AM MARCHING TOWARDS THE CROSS OF CHRIST, I FOCUS  ON THE PROMISE MADE TO CHRIST. SO I AM NO LONGER A SLAVE  TO SIN, BUT A SON OF GOD; AND SINCE I AM A SON, GOD HAS MADE ME AN HEIR. SO I NOT ONLY LIVE BY THE SPIRIT I STAY IN STEP WITH THE SPIRIT. THAT WHATEVER PATH IS RIGHT, WHATEVER PATH IS FAIR, WHATEVER PATH IS JUST, MAY THESE BE THE PATHS I CHOOSE!

I SWEAR THIS IS THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP ME GOD!

"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 GOD'S WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH." (John 4:23-24)

TODAY THE WORLD HAS FALLEN FOR A LIE, AND IT IS MY ENEMY THE DEVIL WHO HAS DECEIVED THEM, BECAUSE THE DEVIL IS THE FATHER OF ALL LIES. GOD'S WORD OF TRUTH IS STRONGER THAN THE DEVIL'S LIES.
