When we are crucified with Christ Jesus, we have no plans of our own.

I love reading books by A.W. Tozer, I have learned a great deal about walking with the Lord and in the Spirit, from reading his books and listening to his tapes.

In one of his books, he states that a crucified person, has no plans,
they cannot look behind them, there is no past to feel guilty about, and  they must depend on someone else to do for them,
In our case, that someone else, is the Holy Spirit, we are to totally depend on the Holy Spirit, to do for us what must be done in God's kingdom, and in our personal life.

Galatians 2:20
"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

1Corinthians 15:31
I affirm by boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus  our Lord, I die daily.

Dead people, do not react to an unkind word, dead people have no reactions, they do not know when they have been done wrong. (1Corinthians 13:4-8)

Only after they have received resurrected life do they have tomorrows, and a new understanding.

When we are dead to self, we cannot worry about tomorrow, tomorrow is not ours, it belongs to the Lord, And He is already in all of our tomorrows.

Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Psalm 139:16
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.  And in Your book they were all written, The days fashioned for me, When yet there were none of them.

Think about this!

Something that we sacrifice in our times of crisis, is in the hands of God, to be revealed in our future, but only after resurrected life has entered us. Life in the Spirit.

We have that resurrected life in Christ Jesus. He is our resurrected life inside of our new born again spirit.
He will direct our steps and help us in all we do.
Its a comforting thought that we do not and cannot, do for ourselves only what God can do for us.
We must rely on the Holy Spirit to work through us and for us, and especially in us.

Beloved, you will live a lot happier life if you can let go of anything that you feel you must hold onto, that thing that is not advantageous for your spiritual growth.

Let go, and allow the joy of the Lord to replace it.

God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
