Death, Burial, Resurrection – You go down and God raises you up, daily. That’s the Gospel re-enacted in your daily life. There’s no other way to walk with, to follow Jesus (Luke 9:23-24).

“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12

We are to be “crucified with Christ” and so the continual bearing about in our bodies of the dying of Jesus guarantees a perpetual resurrection power and grace raising us upward. Death and burial must of necessity precede resurrection.

Will you declare today with Christ’s apostle Paul that you are crucified with Christ?

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

Jesus is calling His people to the cross He mandates that we take up (Luke 9:23-24; John 14:15, 21-23).

You don’t have to ask the Holy Spirit to come, to increase. Jesus told us where He comes, where He increases, is where we are choosing to decrease.

“He must increase, but I must decrease. … For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.” John 3:30, 34

Notice that while Jesus was on the earth the Holy Spirit was given to Him without measure, immeasurably. Why?

“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” John 5:30

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He did the work and will of His Father and was immeasurably filled with the Holy Spirit.

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Acts 10:38

Is there a connection between God’s power and presence in our lives and our obedience to Him? Yes. Definitely. Absolutely.

The Holy Spirit of God is given in measure to us in proportion to our abiding in Christ, in the cross life He calls us to. God is working mightily in those who are truly abiding in Christ! Read this passage below carefully saints:

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. … 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” John 14:21, 23

Many gather to conjure up more of the Holy Spirit’s presence. Futility. Repent. Love God supremely. Obey God. That’s when and in whom the Holy Spirit will dwell powerfully.

Many have over spiritualized our walk with God. It’s very practical actually (Colossians 2:6-10, etc.).

“I remember when I got saved, giving my life to Jesus. I started reading the Bible, and following the words of the Lord Jesus. One day I noticed, so many of my old ways were gone by keeping my heart and mind on Him, I was changed. The more we apply His word to our lives we keep changing. We become what we spend our time on. Hebrews 4:12- for the Word of God is living and active, and shaper than an two edged sword, able to change our hearts and minds to live for God. It was God’s word, by God’s Holy Spirit that changed me. It’s alive, it’s supernatural, it has the power to change us from the inside out. So I encourage all to read, and keep reading, and allow God to work in your life. He get’s all the glory for changing us, we need to keep our eyes on Jesus, not on ourselves, or the world. That’s our job! To Set our hearts and minds on things above, and seek first the Kingdom of God and His Will. Matthew 6:33. God’s Will is full of peace, joy, righteousness. Our Salvation is in Jesus Christ, the Lord. There is salvation in No other Name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12″ Sharon Matthews

IF God is your Father, if you are His, “ALL things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21). With this truth in mind, please tell Him what you have need of! – simply “ASK and ye shall receive” (Matthew 7:7). Ask Him beloved and Jesus Christ, the Great Intercessor at the Father’s right hand, will see that it’s answered! “ALL power in heaven and in earth” is invested in the name, the authority, the divine Person of the LORD Jesus Christ – who was crucified for our sins, defeated death, hell, the grave, and Satan (Matthew 28:18-20)!

“And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:23-24

2 FACTS: JESUS IS STILL THE KING OF ALL KINGS, THE LORD OF ALL LORD’S AND IN FULL CONTROL OF ALL OF HIS CREATION (Colossians 1-2). The devil is STILL a liar, the father of it, and doing his evil business today – till he shall be soon vanquished into the bottomless pit (John 8:44; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 12:10; 20:3).

Memorize: “And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” (Mark 10:27)

“We love him, because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:19

God Himself saves us. Truth. Perhaps we speak too much about our part, our faith, and not the One by whose blood saves us (Romans 5:9). God alone can save, our faith is merely the appropriation, the divinely given condition (Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 11:6). Both are necessary, one is primary and that’s Jesus Christ who is our salvation, who is eternal life (1 John 5:20-21). We are redeemed by Him, our connection to Him is repentance and faith (Acts 20:21). It’s true that our LORD saves us, we don’t save ourselves, we simply believe upon Him who justifies us, the ungodly (Romans 3:21-26; 4:4-5). We are redeemed by His “precious blood,” by “the blood of his cross” (1 Peter 1:18-19; Colossians 1:20). “The Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins” and He does that upon our turning to Him in repentance and faith (Matthew 9:6; John 1:12). God saves us, we don’t save ourselves. Our faith does not save us, GOD saves us and He requires our faith as a condition to receive that gift of salvation.

Overcoming all Hindrances

“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57

Jesus Christ is God and He never has nor ever will diminish one iota in His power to save, make whole, and deliver. We know He desires to do these thing but why doesn’t He do it? Sin. …. who’s ready to be made free, to be forgiven of all your sin? Listen to your Maker clearly…

“Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” Isaiah 59:1-2

WITH the power of the Holy Ghost, you are a one-man wrecking ball for JESUS (Acts 1:8). What saith Joshua 1:3 and 1 John 3:8 and Revelation 12:11? Boom.

Your Life Will Never be the Same [podcast]

The “More Blessed” Life “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35 The “more blessed” life is the cross life our LORD calls us to. “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” Luke 9:23-24 These are the words of the Messiah – who gave His life to purchase His church.

Going Directly to the Source [podcast]

IF you desire to truly hear from GOD, read His own Word for yourself. King James Bible.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17

“Nourished Up” – like a wise virgin Heaven bound saint.

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6

On this biblical topic of fervency, of being “fervent in spirit”, one commentary offers the following:

“Nourished up in the words of faith” is a biblical phrase from 1 Timothy 4:6, meaning to be continually fed, strengthened, and built up by scripture, sound Christian teaching, and doctrine, much like food sustains the body, these spiritual words sustain and grow the soul, leading to spiritual maturity and a deeper walk with God. It signifies a deliberate, ongoing intake of God’s truth, which fosters growth, guards against false teachings, and fuels a believer’s life.” (Source?)

It’s one thing to have a mere human giving you encouragement and yet another thing to get your encouragement, your spiritual nourishment from God—directly. King James Bible.

Psalms 73

“Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.

16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.”
