Attempt made to distract Jesus- Luke 4:1-13 (NASB) Identity, value, purpose, and responsibility - Obtained through our inheritance to the Kingdom of God through our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth. IDENTITY: "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come." 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NASB) Paul accepted his identity; "I have been crucified with Christ; and 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 up for me." Galations 12:20 (NASB) Reference (https://www.openbible.info/topics/our_identity_in_christ) VALUE: How do you place your value? In Jesus’ hierarchy of value, people held a higher place than the rest of the creation. Consider the full text of the first part of the passage from the Sermon on the Mount, partially quoted ...

History Repeating The LORD lead me to this scripture  in my time with Him this morning. Interesting how the same events are occurring today. There is a reason why. Do you know? Please share your answer in the comments. Is CHRISTAIN just a title you poses or a lifestyle? What defines being a Christian? Hint: It's not considering yourself or being considered a "good" person. What is your IDENTITY in the Kingdom of God? Who do you identify with, this world or God the Father? What is your VALUE to God the Father? Why does God desire to give you PURPOSE? What responsibility do you have toward your fellow man? What is the Great Commission? What are the two Great Commandments? Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the first  "First Responder". He came to rescue man from the perils of a fallen world, a life captive by Satan's destructive ways. Christ did not horde His knowledge or practice to Himself. He came to teach us. How? By giving you and me His identity, v...

"Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace." Jas 3:13‭-‬18 NASB The "religious spirit" is identified above; the heart of bitter jealousy, selfish ambition, arrogant which lies against the truth is not what comes from above but from earth, natural and demonic,  ( For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the de...

"For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite." Isaiah 57:15 In order for one to resuscitate the heart of an individual using CPR, one must be trained on how to provide such a gift  John 15:13 . Even if I am trained or "empowered" to do so, if I am not available to provide the gift, and do so competently, than I am useless.  James 1

And He was also telling them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined. “But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.“ And no one, after drinking old wine wishes for new; for he says, ‘The old is good enough.’” Luke 5:36-39 Prior to pooring His valuable Spirit into His people, Father has to renew or change their old behaviors, thoughts, and actions ...  "Transform by the renewing of their minds" Romans 12:2. Christians must release themselves in the areas of which they have conformed to "mans" ways or "institutionalized" methods of practice (both leadership and congregation).  I have been praying for Father to renew my wineskin. In context of the church, I have been pr...

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight". Proverbs 3:5-6 As we mature in our walk with God, we  gain knowledge because we are spending time with Him in His word.As we grow, we begin to understand our identity. As His children, we desire to see God's truths available to others so we begin to reach out and go "fishing" fulfilling His commission for us. We love as He does, living according to the two great commandments. This practicing the faith opens our minds, renewing the way we think. This gets us into alignment with Father's sovereign will, His perfect will. Guess what? Transformation is taking place. As we grow closer, our "free will" should diminish to the point if being nonexistent due to our will being occupied by Father's sovereignty, or complete control of us, mind, body, and Spirit. We begin to understand that e...
