Before Abraham was , I Am!

Image
  The key Scripture is John 8:58 : “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” — John 8:58 (KJV) Scripture backup John 1:1–3 — “In the beginning was the Word… and the Word was God… All things were made by him.” John 1:14 — “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” This identifies Jesus as the Word who became flesh. John 17:5 — Jesus speaks of the glory He had with the Father “before the world was.” Colossians 1:16–17 — “By him were all things created… and he is before all things.” Revelation 1:17–18 — Jesus says, “I am the first and the last… I am he that liveth, and was dead.” Micah 5:2 — The Messiah’s origins are described as being “from everlasting.” Main declaration: Jesus did not begin to exist when He was born in Bethlehem. Before Abraham existed, Jesus declared, “I AM.”

How to Release Son Power in Your Life!

Image
  How to Release SON POWER in Your Life Scripture: Romans 8:5–6, NLT “ Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. ” (Romans 8:5–6, NLT) Focusing on what the Spirit desires is critical for  SON POWER  to operate in the life of the believer. If we focus only on satisfying the desires of the sinful nature, we will not have the privilege of seeing the GOD FACTOR become reality. The believer has been transferred to a new paradigm, where the rules and power for the way we live are sourced in the Holy Spirit of God. We must focus our mind on what the Spirit desires, trusting him to work out our salvation by his power. Trusting in self to live the Christian life ends in total failure because our sufficiency for doing so does not exist...

The Power of the Cross!

Image
  The Power of the Cross Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18, NLT “ The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. ” (1 Corinthians 1:18, NLT) It is by the cross we are crucified to the flesh and its passions and desires. It is by the cross we are crucified to the world with all its lures of temptation. “ Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. ” (Galatians 5:24, NLT) “ As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died. ” (Galatians 6:14, NLT) SON POWER  enables us to die to self and live in a way that pleases God. The Apostle Paul said, “ Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in o...

The Answer I Was Searching For!

  The Answer I Was Searching For “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.’” — John 14:6 Reflection I had an unusual fear of dying as a young boy. It was not something that gripped me daily or that I thought about all the time, but in retrospect my fears surrounding death went beyond the norm for someone my age. During Safety Awareness Week at my elementary school, each student was supposed to create a poster emphasizing some theme concerning safety. Most of my classmates focused on things such as looking both ways before crossing a street or not playing with matches. But not me. I drew a medicine cabinet with a pill bottle marked “POISON,” complete with an ominous skull and crossbones. The truth was that I was afraid I would get poisoned somehow. I even worried about using our mercury thermometer for fear that I would accidentally drop it and the mercury would get into my mouth and instantly kill me. It was an absurd...

The Word of God is Life Itself!

Image
  The Word of God is Life Itself! Scripture: Deuteronomy 8:3, NLT “ Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. ” (Deuteronomy 8:3, NLT) Before I came to know Christ as my personal Lord and Savior, I foolishly believed that I would think about God later in life. This passage makes it clear that we do not live by “bread alone” – by material things. We live by every word that flows from the mouth of God. He holds our breath in his hand and he determines how, when, where, and by what we will die.  Life is not found in stuff, things, riches, or circumstances. Jesus reinforces this truth. He said, “ The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. ” (John 6:63, NLT) We are born of the...

Righteousness comes through Jesus Christ Romans 3:22 (KJV) "Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe." 3.
