Always
Rejoice Always,
Pray without ceasing,
Give Thanks in all circumstances;
For this is the Will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Spirit of Life
For the Law of the Spirit of Life has Set you Free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
Follow Me
And Take Up his Cross, and Follow Me!
This is even deeper than Denying the self.
For self-denying is only the disregarding of self whereas Taking Up the Cross is Obeying God.
To Take Up the Cross means to Accept whatever God has Decided for the person and to be Willing to Suffer According to the Will of God.
By Denying Self and Taking Up the Cross we may Truly Follow the Lord.
Abide in Me
Come, my Brethren, and let us day by day Set ourselves at His Feet,
And Meditate on This Word of His,
With an Eye Fixed on Him ALONE.
Let us Set ourselves in Quiet Trust Before Him,
Waiting to Hear His Holy Voice – the Still Small Voice that is Mightier than the storm that rends the rocks – Breathing its Quickening Spirit Within us,
As He Speaks: ABIDE IN ME!
The soul that Truly Hears Jesus Himself Speak the Word,
Receives with the Word the Power to Accept and to Hold the Blessings He Offers.
Light
There needs to be the Light of God!
Only then will the real condition of a matter be manifested.
Light means how God sees our condition and what God says.
When God says it is wrong, it is wrong.
When God says it is one hundred percent wrong, it is one hundred percent wrong.
Before the Light comes, it is merely what you think and is not reliable.
It is not what you say your life is, but what God says your life is.
Keep on Praying
Keep on Praying!!!
It Holds the Promise of the Highest Happiness and of a Life Crowned by all the Blessings that come through Intercession.
Through Perseverance it becomes the Highest Aim and Joy upon earth.
Standard
The average Christian has a very different standard regarding a life of service to God than that which Scripture gives us.
We think about our personal safety – Grace to Pardon our sin and Secure our Entrance into Heaven.
The Bible’s Standard is that we Surrender ourselves, our time, our thoughts, and our love to God.
And Fall They Will
First you must See the Riches that are yours in Christ.
This is Entering the Gate of Faith.
But then Upon Entering, you must Stand Into your New Position by Dealing with whatever temptation comes your way – be it pride or jealousy or whatever.
You Stand in Faith and Declare that all these temptations must fall.
And fall they will!!!
Hallelujah!!!
