Think Like Christ

1 Peter 4:1 & 2 (The Message)

1-2 Since Jesus went through everything you're going through and more, learn to think like Him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you'll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want.

I love this verse, it is simple yet very powerful. There is nothing that we will ever go through that Jesus hasn't experienced yet without sin. So here we are encouraged to think like Him. What does that mean? It means to embrace it, deal with it, and go through it the way Jesus did. Jesus said at the hardest point in His life if this cup can pass me by, but not MY will Father Your will. Jesus thoughts went from the cross to His Fathers will and we need to think like Him, and look at our suffering and challenges the same way He did. He didn't nurse them and rehearse them. He didn;t whine or throw a tantrum no because He made up in His mind that He was going to do the Father's will. Sometimes life hurts...real bad. Sometimes it's like every time you wake up you are being punched in the face. THINK LIKE HIM. Why? So you will be able to live out your days free to do God's will instead of the flesh running you ragged. There is power in that right there! I hope your ears are open to catch this. Everytime something comes up and you want to do it YOUR WAY...THINK LIKE HIM! Everytime somebody slanders you, downs you, THINK LIKE HIM. NOT MY WILL OR WAY FATHER but YOURS. OH I know this one hurts, yeah I'm bleeding too but the only way we are going to advance the Kingdom and handle life's trauma and drama in a way that pleases God we are going to have to THINK LIKE HIM, PICK UP OUR CROSS and....(-:

Never Cease to Share the King or the Kingdom

Acts 5:42 (Amplified Bible)
42Yet [in spite of the threats] they never ceased for a single day, both in the temple area and at home, to teach and to proclaim the good news (Gospel) of Jesus [as] the Christ (the Messiah).



One thing that marks the saints of old and new is their "in spite of spirit."
No matter what comes, no matter how hard life hits them in the face, no matter what people do or say to them or try to do to them they never cease to say ALL things work together for my good, they never cease to praise God, and they NEVER cease to proclaim the Good News no matter what the costs. This kind of endurance I believe comes from our relationship with God and our indwelling of God. God is not a quitter ad because He isn't we don't have to be either WHEN we yield completely to Him. Jesus always had people both loving Him and hating Him at the same time. That is part of this Christian walk isn't it?! Yes it most certainly is. Those that embrace the Good News love those sent to share it, those that embrace the darkness hate those that bring the Good News because their wickedness is shown to be what it is...yet we love them in spite of their hatred toward us and we keep on proclaiming Christ regardless of their threats.
THAT IS OUR SAVIOR and these are what we are to DO as saints...keep proclaiming the King and His Kingdom no matter what. Take up your cross daily and follow Me says Jesus. This resurrection Sunday remember, not only what Jesus did but remember also we expects from you too (-:

NOT Ashamed

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. GOD morning friends and I hope you memorized this Scripture this week because it's a mighty powerful declaration!!!! I'AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST!!!!! Everything in me is all about that verse and if you KNOW Jesus and His love burns in you than this verse probably just sends you through the atmosphere!!! It's why we are here to tell the world REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND!!!! Excuse me saints but I'm not interested in the American Dream, I'm interested in the King and His Kingdom. I'm interested in doing MY part to advance that Kingodom. What about you? If you are reading this I believe you are too. I believe that you are not ashamed to proclaim His name, support His agenda, and war on His behalf. WE are not ashamed because our GOD ROCKS!!! The earth is His and the fulness thereof. Our God is mighty and He reigns SUPREME!!! There is nothing about His Gospel that we ever need to be ashamed of. Whether you are living in luxury or in a mud hut there is nothingto be ashamed of saint of God. We are not ashamed to represent Him every chance we get, we are not ashamed to say that marriage is between a man and a woman. We are not ashamed to take one for the team. We are not ashamed to tell a sinner that GOD sent His only begotten Son into this earth to redeem us in all of our foulness. NO WE ARE NOT ASHAMED. God strengthen and give you boldness and courage as you continue to march forward unashamed and ready to do whatever to proclaim that, " Today is the acceptable day of Salvation" through Jesus. He is TOOOOO AWESOME to be ashamed of. Let's get er done for our King!!!!!!!

Who Did You Come For???

" Luke 5:32 (Amplified Bible) I have not come to arouse and invite and call the righteous, but the erring ones (those not free from sin) to repentance [to change their minds for the better and heartily to amend their ways, with abhorrence of their past sins].

This is what Jesus came to do, and I will be eternally grateful to Him for doing just that!!!!!! Isn't it great to encourage those that are already "righteous through Jesus?!" Isn't it awesome to be able to disciple new believers too?! Yes those things are AWESOME but Jesus came specifically for the erring ones Those who have a releationship with God --HE IS growing us, and pruning us. HE IS OUR LORD. In this verse I love this part-- those not free from sin. WE HAVE BEEN FREED FROM SIN!!! HALLELUJAH!!! That is truly what Jesus has done, made us free!!! WHY? So we could live in that 200,000 house? So we could drive that Benz? So we could wear those clothes by that designer, or sport that Coach pocket book? Now listen, if you have those things or want those things that's perfectly fine, as long as that is what GOD WANTS FOR YOU. There are too many CHRISTians in debt, going into debt trying to live the American Dream....WAKE UP!!!!LOL!!! JESUS is not going to give out rewards for the most toys aquired, He will be giving out rewards to us according the assignments that He has given us that we faithfully completed. GUESS WHAT??? The command He left us about telling people about Him, is going to come up as we stand before Him at His judgement seat... So we can see from this verse also that Jesus wants sinners to be aware of their sins and the evil of them, the foulness of them and He wants them to be disgusted by them ALL. He wants sinners to understand that sin--is disgusting and it is rebellion against God. He wants them to be Godly sorry enough to turn from them and turn to HIM for forgiveness and freedom. Don't just LOOK for opportunities to share Christ--MAKE opportunities!!! That's what YOU and I are here for (-:

Following In the Steps Of Christ

Acts 10:38 (New Living Translation) And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. This verse says it all doesn't it? It shows our LORD doing. He is not an idle LORD, He is not one to wait for the lost and hurting to come to Him, no. He goes around sharing wisdom, teaching about the Kingdom, reaching out and healing, wanting to give a helping hand to any one who wanted His help. Jesus was active, active in His community... as much as He could anyway. Remember their unbelief made Him marvel, but He still was able to heal a few folk there. He went from village to village, He crossed the sea, He went about daily doing good! What an example He has left us. So, where have you been going and what good have you been doing? Maybe you volunteer. Maybe you just walk around your enighborhood or community with some other Saints just believing God to guide and direct you to someone who needs Christ or needs help. Now let's talk about healing. Do you have the faith to believe that you can cast out demons? If not I encourage you to get into the Word and into your prayer closet so, that your faith can increase. I believe we as Christians tolerate the devil far too much, instead of casting him out!!! As a Spirit filled Believer meditate on Luke 10:19. This is a verse that has always stuck with me as I have had some encounters with demons over the last 30 years of my journey with Christ. Let me tell you, demons flee at the name of Jesus. My daughter was 10 when she was visited by a demon who appeared to her looking like the witch from Snow White. She looked at it, it looked back at her and just stood there looking at her like please don't make me leave. She rebuked it in the name of Jesus and it disappeared. Now if a 10 yr old CHRISTian can rebuke a demon......ok! Saints of the MOST HIGH GOD we can do the works that Jesus did and greater works because Jesus said we would. We can follow in His steps because just like God was with Him, God is also with us. We have been licensed by the King of kings and Lord of Lords to win the lost, and to do the works of our Master. NOW is the time to build up your most holy faith and do good. (-:
