Jesus was a role model and living template for all Christians
The goal of the gospel: a mature son Jesus came to reproduce after His own spiritual kind. The following factors that were true of Jesus are to be true of a true Christian. With man these are impossible, but with God they are possible: (Note: a Christian is called to be toward Jesus and the Father in their right order as Jesus was to the Father). … · Jesus loved the Father and always wanted to do what the Father wanted · Jesus could never even begin to think of sinning because He knew this would hurt the Father’s heart · It was no hardship really, even if Jesus did…

Prayer and self-deliverance (pt2) – Sunday May 7, 2017
This is an audio recording from a Sunday morning message at a house church. It builds on last week’s message on consecration and prayer. It includes personal testimonial and life experience in seeking God. Any Christian who wants all of God has great and powerful tools given in this “better covenant with better promises.” God is love, and He wants us to personally know Him. Christianity was never meant to be anything less than a restoration of a broken relationship between the Holy God and His fallen creation, man. We who are the blood-bought and who want no substitutes for real Christianity, are called to align our wills with God…

Subjecting One’s Spiritual Leading to the Light
Do you hear from God? The scriptures in John 10 do indeed say “My sheep hear my voice,” so this is a promise, but we must all take care. The only 100-percent validated words of God we have are the inspired scriptures. These were written by “holy men of old” under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. While they have been under attack for the last 2,000 years since the Lord Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, what has been passed along has been vetted. Jesus even said His words were eternal. Mt 24:35 – Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass…

The ‘exchanged life’ is the only real Christian life!
Everyone has opinions, and this goes possibly double for Christians who through the years have sought to define what a valid Christian life should “look like.” The Word of God however supplies abundant directions on this, and let it be clear – the Christian life is not only a changed life, it is an exchanged life. That is, Jesus Christ wants to be able to live His life in you, and for you to live your life in Him. I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me,…

A calling to true Christians to come out from worldliness, and be holy
Who is my God? He is the God of the Christians. His Son is named Jesus Christ. All who fear Him should bow down before Him. Jesus is the firstborn of many brethren. He is the alpha and the omega. He is love, and He is a sharp sword. By Him the worlds were made, and this earth, and the seas, and all that are in them. The faith of Jesus Christ was called The Way. It is truly the one way, but sadly it has been subverted – that is, schisms and factions and denominations have risen up contrary to the Spirit that founded it; the Spirit who gave…
