SET YOUR AFFECTION ON THINGS ABOVE

  Colossians 3:1-2 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

 (First of all, if you have not yet been “risen with Christ”, if God’s Holy Spirit does not bear His unmistakable witness with your spirit that you are a child of The Living God, stop reading, humble yourself before The Almighty, and receive the forgiveness of sins that is offered through the shed blood of His only begotten Son, Jesus.  Pray until you receive this Blessed Assurance from the Spirit of God. If you have just done this, please let me know, we rejoice with you!)

And [God] hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places

in Christ Jesus

~ Ephesians 2:6 ~

 

A seat is a place of rest. When we sit in a chair, we put trust in that chair that it can

support all of our weight for as long as we sit in it. We do not expect that the chair

will only hold up part

 What is truth? – Pontius Pilate (John 18:38)

Pilate asked Jesus, (37) Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. To that statement Pontius Pilate replied,

 

INWARD CHANGES

 This is not about establishing a city in the earth. It is about establishing a culture of changed lives, so that, by an outward projection of the inward changes that God has brought about in those lives, the power of His presence will be seen in the earth!

PASSION WEEK: RENDING THE VEIL

WHO IS THIS JESUS?

 

From the moment John baptized Him, there were innumerable questions  and numerous guesses about Jesus’ identity.  All knew that He was Jesus of Nazareth, son of Joseph.  But who is He, really?  Who is this that does all these miraculous things we hear about?  Who is this man veiled in that body?  While a few believed He may be the Christ, the guesses continued

The Sanctuary

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? ~ Ps 77:13 ~

 

If our answer to this question is that there is none greater than our God, then His way of conducting ourselves as we journey through life is of utmost importance to us. When we begin to discern His will, then His way of doing His will is critical to our continuing
