The Power Of Receiving Jesus

He came to his own, but His own simply did not receive Him; however, Those who receive Jesus will find that they receive the power, right and privilege to be Children of God.
John 1:11 & 12

Let me take some time out to think about how I am thinking about what I am thinking about when I think about this portion of God's Ancient Wisdom.  First, it begins with Jesus being rejected by those who should have been most close to him.  Think about that.  Your first experience with your people is one of rejection. 

I don't know about you, but given Jesus was in a human body that was perfectly tuned to experience feelings this first encounter with his earthy kin had to be painful.  Yet He did not let this get Him down.  He simply used this as a means of opening a door for those who were in darkness to walk through this door into new light.

Think about it:  He opens this door and says, "Whoever wills to do so, may come."  He then gives the invitation, "Come on in, and if you do... if you receive me, I am going to give you some very special power. I am going to give you some new rights.  I am going to give you a new privilege:  I am going to give you my Divine Nature so you can be adopted as one of my little brothers and sisters.  I am going to give you the stuff to be enough to be considered with me as an heir of Almighty God.  You will be able to BE God's Child, and you will have all you need to live like a Child of God."  Whew!  Now that is some GOOOOOOD Stuff.  

Listen closely now:  He now stands at the door of your heart. (Revelation 3:20).  And He is now knocking on the door of your heart, knowing full well that the door knob to your heart is only on the inside.  So only you can open this door.  He will not knock it down.  As He knocks  He says, "Just as I invited you into my eternal life, I am now sealing the deal: I want to come into your life."  Whatcha gonna do? He won't reject you, if you don't reject Him.

My sincere prayer is, that if you have not already received Him, you will do so right now.  Simply say, "Into my heart... into my heart... come into my heart Lord Jesus.  Come into day... come into stay... come into my heart, Lord Jesus."

If you do this He will come into your heart and into your life, and He will have fellowship daily with you and you with him.  You will be an heir of God and or a Child of God.   You will have the Divine power to begin living like it as well.


That's all I have to say for now. 
 Y'all be blessed 2day... Especially Today.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
