As a young child (about 5 years old) I once became very, very sick. I was doubled over in pain so I lay on my bed pondering the discrepancy. The Sunday School teacher had said that God created me in His image and likeness, but could God have a tummy ache? In spite of excruciating pain, I began to try to sit up. The pain got much, much worse, but I persevered and when I got to an upright position, all the pain had vanished! I knew then that I had a special relationship with my Lord and Savior.

THE REAL YOU VS. RELIGION
Do you ever find a great
big smile come to your face?
For no reason whatsoever?
You want to laugh
or cry tears of joy
or sing or shout?
That’s your awareness of Jesus
inside you, happy as a lark!
Do you ever feel like you
should criticize and condemn
another person for any reason?
THAT’S religion.

IF MY SPIRIT IS SANCTIFIED AND PERFECTED FOREVER, WHY DON’T I JUST WALK IN THE SPIRIT
A L L … T H E … T I M E ?

WHY EVER LEAVE ?
..
IN MY SPIRIT, I AM AS I WILL BE IN ALL ETERNITY, SO WHO SAYS I HAVE TO LEAVE IT AND REJOIN THE PETTY CARES OF A SEPARATED LIFE ? . NO ONE !!!!! . SPIRITUAL LIVING AND BLESSEDNESS IS A GLORIFIED LIFE !!

Hebrews 10:9-10, 14 KJV
Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. [10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all . [14] For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

WHEN YOU’RE IN CHRIST,

BECOMES BRAND NEW !!!
( 2 Corinthians 5:16 . KJV )
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

CAN YOU IMAGINE ?
(Hint: use your God-given imagination)
Revelation 1:14-15 KJV
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; [15] And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
..
THE TRUE JESUS
THE SAME ‘JOHN’ WHO LEANED ON JESUS’ CHEST AT DINNER WAS SHOCKED BEYOND BELIEF AT THE SPECTRE OF JESUS IN THE SPIRIT !!
AT ONE TIME THE DISCIPLES ONLY KNEW JESUS AS A HUMAN BEING.
THANK GOD HE DIDN’T STAY THAT WAY !!
..
NOT EVEN THAT !!
WE DON’T EVEN NEED TO KNOW OURSELVES AFTER THE FLESH !!
WEEELLLLL???
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE IN THE SPIRIT REALM ? (THE SPIRIT PART OF YOU IS, IN FACT, THE REAL YOU !!)
..
YOU DO !!
DO YOU HAVE THE POWER OF GOD LIVING ON THE INSIDE OF YOU? IT’S NOT “OUT THERE” SOMEWHERE !!
WE’RE ALL IN CHRIST
ALL THAT JUNK IS O-V-E-R !! Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV

WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS

Dear Robin,
You have been telling Me
For a very long time now
That you want to serve only Me.
You say it fervently
In all honesty
And I know you truly mean it.
But you must remember
I never said it would be easy.
People will misconstrue
But only for a time.
They will misrepresent
Especially in their silence.
No matter.
There is SOMETHING URGENT
That I need you to understand
At this juncture
DO NOT EXPECT A REWARD !!
Sounds cruel?
You misunderstand.
Your reward is right here
Right now
With Me.

Do you sometimes struggle with all your might to hear God’s voice within you? Take heart, precious saint, He is right there – nearer than your breath. But, you know that and you still can’t hear clearly, you say? (1) The fact that you WANT HIM so deeply and sincerely guarantees success. (2) He wants to connect with you – and stay connected – even more than you do. (3) It’s never God who does the withdrawing. (4) You’re connected right now! So, …. (5) Quit listening to any lie (suggestion) that He’s not THE MOST important One to hear anytime, anyplace, anywhere.

All of your self-defeating wishes and desires will be so awestruck by your re-NEW-ed allegiance to God that they’ll cower in fear and slither off, hopefully for good this time!

Don’t look now, but you’re already sporting a warm glow, bubbling up from deep within which will overtake the selfsame suggestions that are plaguing other people yearning to be free!

When you are surrounded by God- loving people who constantly support one another in their faith, in accordance with . . . .
Hebrews 10:24 KJV
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: . . . .
does your enthusiasm, your excitement, and yes your faith go through the roof? That is, until you are alone again? And then, do you kind of crash?
If so, you’re not alone! It’s human nature!

I for one I think we should be less and less enamored with human nature! We need to learn to maintain the same level (awareness) of faith that we had before we started listening to the incessant yammering of the carnal mind once again!

The fleshly thinking is always wrong. Period. When we are fully tuned in to God, we are always right – and right is a great place to be!
Consider Moses, who actively endured the wrath of Pharoah by focusing on God:
Hebrews 11:27 KJV
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

The truth is, if you will regularly reach out to help people, edify them, encourage them, and treat them the way you want to be treated, then you will be one of the happiest people in the world today. -Joyce
