No Man Can Come To Me!

 


John 6:41-44, 64-65

"The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day."

"But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”

I can remember when I was drawn by God to my wife. We met on Christian Cupid dot com, when it was still a bit taboo to meet someone online, let alone date them. How fast times have changed right? Now if you're not on the internet you're seen as strange! 

It's amazing to me how some people can see the light and others can not. Some feel led to change their lives and be different, others feel the same leading but don't respond to it. They turn their backs on God, they blank out and walk away, and many don't feel anything at all!

Those who do come to Christ always have a testimony of what God did for them, how he drew them to Himself, or what they were doing when something happened they couldn't explain. Many cry out to God and say, 'God if you are real then do this or that and I will believe.' 

The first disciples Jesus called were drawn to Him because it was granted to them by the Father in Heaven!

Matthew 4:18-22

"And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him. Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him."

How is it possible that Jesus being a total stranger to these four fishermen, could call them out of their jobs, their family, their lifestyles, and they listened! The scriptures tell us that the four men IMMEDIATELY left their nets, their boats, their jobs, even their own father and followed Jesus!

That is a perfect example of what it means to be drawn by God!

The same thing happened when John the baptist started calling the people to repentance. The scriptures say that people came from all around to be baptized by John. How was that possible, John being another total stranger coming out of the desert?

Mark 1:1-8

"The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.” “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight.’ ”

John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins."

People of the whole land of Judea and Jerusalem went out to him! And then they got baptized and while they were being baptized, they were confessing their sins, outloud! No secret chambers, no priest in a box, no church building! The people were out in the open air confessing their sins and getting baptized by John in the Jordan River!! That's what you call a supernatural drawing and manifestation of the power of God working through His prophet!!!

Something similar happened to Paul too when he was preaching.

Acts 16:11-15

"Therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day came to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days. And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there. Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.

You see that the Lord had to OPEN THE HEART of Lydia so that she could listen to what paul was saying! The word of God being spoken through His anointed and appointed is spiritual, it can't be understood by those with carnal minds and hard hearts! 

What about the other women who were there? We see that God only opened the heart of Lydia to understand Paul's message, and then she and her whole household were baptized! The ways of God and His choosing is beyond our understanding, only He knows the hearts of all men!

This is why it's so important to pray for the Father to open your heart, and your mind so that you can be drawn to Christ and receive Him when He comes to visit you!

The Time Of Hirelings And Hypocrites Is Ending!

 



God said my people perish for lack of knowledge! God's people also perish because of the lack of spiritual discernment too! But God allows all of this to happen to fulfill His word!

Paul said that there must be factions among you, so it can be revealed who is approved of God! And then Paul had to deal with false brethren and false Apostles too! This all happened two thousand years ago and the same thing is happening right now! History repeats itself, over and over.

1st Corinthians 11:17-19

"Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse. For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you."

Galatians 2:1-5

"Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me.  And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I might run, or had run, in vain. Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage), to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

2nd Corinthians 11:12-15

"But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works."

This is why I continue to say over and over, that the church building IS NOT THE CHURCH! If you have a group of witches inside a church building, what will the building be full of? EVIL and DARKNESS!

If you have a church building full of true believers filled with the Spirit and Grace of God, what will you have? A building full of Light, God's presence, angels coming and going, people rejoicing and praising God!

The same holds true for your own house! Your house is just a building, and if you are full of darkness and evil spirits, what will your house be full of? EVIL! Even though you cannot perceive it or feel it, because it's spiritual! Unless you actually practice witchcraft in your house, then you will most likely see the evil spirits manifesting!

This is also why Jesus said beware of the wolve's in sheep's clothing! And the Hirelings, because many times they are the ones over the people! 

Matthew 7:15-20

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them."

John 10:11-13

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep."

So if you are sitting in a congregation that never grows, and there's no youth attending who are thriving and full of joy, you have to question the fruit of your leadership!

The man or woman who thinks that being in Ministry is a job that pays their bills and supports their lifestyle is a hireling! And if you woke up one morning and felt led to go to school to be a Pastor, you need to question whether or not you are really in the faith! There is nowhere in scripture that you see any man or woman being led to an institution to learn how to be an Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Teacher, or Evangelist!

No man, woman, college, online or physical, can ordain, anoint and appoint any soul to be in the ministry of God, but God!!!

It's Jesus, the Lord Himself who gives ministry gifts to His body for edification and building up!

Ephesians 4:7-16

"But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.” (Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love."

The scriptures in Ephesians 4 tells us what the real church should be! It tells us how God designed and desires His church (souls) to operate and function together as the body of Christ, in the midst of all the evil surrounding us everyday!

Without unity, without the Spirit of God in every soul, and without the ministry gifts that Jesus gave to the church, what do we have? A congregation full of hirelings, hypocrites, and evil! 

As Disciples of Jesus we cannot escape this world or the evil that's in it, we must live and grow together with the tares until the final Harvest! The only thing we can do is trust our God and come out from among them and be separate in our hearts and minds!

Matthew 13:24-30

"Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”

The Lord Himself spoke to my wife and said, "The Small Will Be Great, And The Great Will Disappear"

Are You Kicking Against The Pricks?

 

Acts 9:1-6

"Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

Paul had no idea that he was persecuting the Lord Jesus by persecuting His people. Paul would never have known that what he was doing was wrong if Jesus had not appeared to him on the road to Damascus. He would have just kept rounding up Disciples and putting them in prison, he thought that what he was doing was right!

Jesus said that the day would come when men would kill disciples of Christ and think that they were doing God a favor!

Jesus had been talking to Paul many times before this road to Damascus experience, but Paul kept resisting God, His Spirit, and His anointed servants. Even when Stephen, the Lords first martyr was preaching, Paul stood there holding the cloaks of the Pharisees while they stoned him to death. 

Acts 7:51-53, 57-58

“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers, who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it."

"Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul."


It's not that hard for many people to resist the drawing and calling of God, when you feel the pull of God's grace, all you have to do is pull away from it, draw back, and say no thank you, I don't want salvation. 

This is why the Spirit of God said, "Today if you hear His voice do not harden your hearts"

Hebrews 3:7-11

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years. Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.’ So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”

When an anointed man or woman of God speaks, you can do two things, resist the word of God or accept it, and when it pricks your heart, humble yourself and repent, cry out for the mercy of God, ask for forgiveness and live! 

Acts 2:36-39

“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

The Holy Spirit comes to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. So when you feel the prick of God's Spirit upon your heart, what will you do?

The Choice Is Yours!

In Christ,

Jesus Loved Everyone; But Did Everyone Love Jesus?

 


I have heard this statement many times when ministers or those who hold to the teachings of Jesus, tell someone that their lifestyle is wrong and they need to stop sinning and do what is right. And nine times out of ten you will hear, "who are you to judge me? Jesus loved everybody!"

That is absolutely true! Jesus did love everyone! But everyone DID NOT love Jesus!

Why not you ask? Because Jesus told everyone about themselves, and testified to the world that it's works (deeds) were evil! And that IS Love!!!! Telling someone the truth about themselves and their sinful living IS loving them!!! 

Ministers of the gospel are called and anointed to help people see the error of their ways so they can repent and be forgiven of their sins and come into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ!

Jesus was hated by the Pharisees, Jews and the world because He preached against their hypocrisy, religion, sin, and traditions.

John 7:6-7

"Then Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil."

This is also why when Jesus began to preach He went around saying "Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand." Repent means to change your mind and think differently, because if you think different, you will ACT different!

How did Jesus deal with people's sin you ask?

John 8:7-11

"So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”

Jesus loved this woman who was caught in the act of adultery, but He didn't condemn her for it! The Pharisees were ready to stone her to death! Jesus dealt with her sin by telling her to go AND SIN NO MORE! Stop doing wrong, stop committing sinful acts! That is love!

John 5:12-14

"Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place.  Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”

Jesus healed a man who had been cripple for thirty eight years, and afterwards told him to sin no more or something worse could happen to him. Jesus knew that the man was a sinner, but again He did not condemn the man, but healed him and later told him to stop sinning! That IS love!

John 15:18-25

“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’"

We know what ultimately happened to Jesus don't we? He was betrayed, falsely accused, taken into custody like a criminal, severely beaten, mocked, whipped, and hung on a cross with nails through His hands and feet. All this happened to Jesus because He spoke the truth to the religious leaders of the day and to the world.

Do you think it would be any different today? NO!

Jesus even told His disciples/apostles that in the end times all nations will hate His future servants for His names sake!

John 24:9-14

“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."

And after all the healings, miracles, signs and wonders that Jesus did amongst thousands of people in many cities, there was only one hundred and twenty disciples waiting for the Holy Spirit in the upper room in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

Yes Jesus did, and still does love everyone! But everyone will not love Him!

In Christ,

2024 The Year Of Worldwide Change?

 


With Israel and Palestine still at war, and Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, vowing to eradicate Hamas, it seems there will be nothing left of the Palestine territory when the war finishes.  

What will be the outcome of this war? Will other countries eventually get involved? Time will tell!

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the prohpecies of Jesus, Zechariah, and John will be fulfilled at the appointed time.

Luke 21:20-24

“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled."

Zechariah 14:1-2

"Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, And your spoil will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city."

Revelation  11:1-3

"Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

How about the next U.S. President? Will there even be one? Is Joe Biden even capable of running the nation for another four years! Will Trump be re-elected? Will Obama play a part in all of this? What about Putin of Russia and Xi in China? Kim Jong Un in North Korea. 

False apostles and false prophets abound, people claiming to be Jesus, gender confusion, suicide rates skyrocketing, witchcraft accepted everywhere, pornography at least a five billion dollar a year industry, male and female entertainers in music continuing to dress more lude and performances continue to be more sexual in concert and on live T.V., MMA fighters male and female dieing in the ring while fighting each other, on and on, and on!

The events of this world keep moving toward the inevitable end, which is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ!

In Jesus,

Humble Yourself!

 


Philippians 2:5-11

"Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

These are some of the greatest scriptures in the bible! To really understand what God Himself did for His own creation is mind blowing! He caused a Virgin to be with child and formed a body for Himself to enter into His own creation as a human being! The Word was with God and the Word was God, and He became flesh and dwelt among us! Amazing!

Then as an adult man humbling Himself to wash His own disciples feet!

John 13:2-6

"And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, “Lord, are You washing my feet?”

The disciples must have been in shock to see their Rabbi, kneeling down on the floor washing their dirty feet! Peter couldn't understand what was happening!

James 4:7-10

"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

The scripture says HUMBLE YOURSELF! That means there is something you must conciously and willingly do in order for God to work in your life! Notice the scripture says humble yourself in the SIGHT of the Lord, not for people or to be seen as humble in their eyes! AFTER you humble yourself then the word says and HE WILL LIFT YOU UP!! That's an absolute, a guarantee of a blessing from God!

It's like when Jesus said, "Come Follow Me, AND I WILL make you fishers of men!"

Humility brings grace and the blessings of God upon your soul! 

Philippians 2:1-4

"Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others."

This is absolute true humility and love given to those in the body of Christ by the Spirit of God! This is not some piety of a sect or religious order, but the fruits of the Holy Spirit born in the hearts of true disciples of Jesus Christ, who desire to be like their Master!

Your life can be completely changed by God, IF you humble yourself in His sight.

The choice is yours!

In Christ,

Human Beings, Much More Than Flesh And Bones!

 


If human beings really understood who and what they really are, the world would be a very different place! 

Genesis 2:7

"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being."

Human beings are composed of three things: Body, Soul, and Spirit.

God Almighty, who is an all knowing, all wise and all Powerful Spirit being, took dust from the ground and formed a man in His own image and likeness. This alone is absolutely supernatural, and shows how creative God is. The whole creation period, is a big display of the unlimited wisdom and power of God.

It's such a shame that so many of God's creation want nothing to do with the One who created them! 

On the mount of transfiguration, Jesus showed James, Peter, and John, what and who He really was!

Matthew 17:1-3

"Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him."

What an honor and a privilege it was for James, Peter, and John to see this glorious vision, and to have their eyes opened to see through the veil of flesh that covered The Word Himself, Emmanuel, The King of Glory!

Our bodies are just a shell, a covering, for our soul and spirit. When God breathed into the nostrils of the man He formed from the dust of the earth, that man turned from an inanimate creation, (like a statue) into a living being. He was now able to walk, talk, move around, think, feel and live! What a great and mighty God I serve! This is why Jesus said, "With God Nothing Is Impossible!"

God breathed a portion of Himself into Adam! Jesus who was God manifested in the flesh, when He walked upon this earth said, "I AM The Way, The Truth, and The LIFE!

The writer of Hebrews said this in 10:5-7

"Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure. Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—In the volume of the book it is written of Me—To do Your will, O God.’ ”

Jesus also said that those who believe in Him will not walk in darkness but will have the Light of Life! And Jesus IS the LIGHT and LIFE!!!

John 8:12

"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

It's so wonderful to know that we can have God Himself living within our souls by His Spirit, to sanctify our body, wash our soul, and renew our spirit, so that we can be like Adam was when he first  became a living being! 

1st Thessalonians 5:23

"Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it."

In Jesus,
Tyrone
