Power Statement Of A Christ Follower: A Little Sister or Brother of Jesus

All to often we spend time trying to do the right Christian stuff instead of simply be God's children. Sadly we do Christian stuff in well intentioned ways; yet the smartest thing is to simply learn  is to be the one God created us to be; for example, God gives us "...Power to be children of God." In John 1:12 this is God's promise: "As many as receive Jesus as the Lord of their lives, these are the ones that God gives the power to be Children of God." When Jesus came to this earth to be the Savior of the world, He first came to His own people, but they did not receive Him.  Jesus described these who rejected Him as "Children of the Devil." (John 8:12.)  And so were we, but once we sincerely began the journey of receiving Christ Jesus, we received the power to be God's adopted children. (Romans 8:15)
 
Not only did we receive the power to be God's adopted children, we also had the power to receive the Holy Spirit.  Once we received the Holy Spirit, we received supernatural spiritual power. (Acts 1:8)  The Greek word translated power is dynamos or dynamite power. This means we have power to be  formed into the image of Jesus (like His little sisters and brothers)  as we journey through the stuff of life. (Romans 8:28-29) In surrendering to or receiving Christ via His Holy Spirit, we have the transformational power to grow into the Character of Almighty God.  In other words, we have the Holy Spirit Power to have love, joy, peace, the ability to suffer long, gentleness, goodness, integrity and self control become the core of our character.
 
So why not daily just begin our days by opening up our hearts to Christ and surrendering our lives to Him for the daily power to more than exist.  Let's do so to really live each day... one day at a time.

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!'
