Jesus Followers Are Given the Holy Spirit as “Counselor and “Helper”, and the Spirit Is, Also, a “Caller; but are you “Listening” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Jesus, in Matthew 28:18-19, has called you along with all Christians to: 1) “make disciples” and 2) “Go”: “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,’". Even though you may not be called to be a missionary or a minister, Jesus calls all His followers in this “Great Commission”. However, Jesus does not call you without providing you the tools or gifts, through the Holy Spirit, to be successful. Paul, in Ephesians 4:11-13, tells us about God’s focus and reasons for His gifts to us through the Holy Spirit: “And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ . . .". Again Paul, in Romans 11:29, gives us further information about God’s fantastic gifts of the Holy Spirit that are the enablers for you as you answer God’s call – as a follower of Jesus, you are called and given gifts; but not all have answered His call: “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.". In summary, God, in His call to you, has given you the gifts of the Holy Spirit to perform His call to you.   TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Insensitivity. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit’s fruit of Gentleness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Risks Cannot Be Reconciled Today By Man’s Knowledge or Technology; God Provides Answers Through Gifts of the Holy Spirit   MESSAGE SUMMARY: Today, we face risks, like health, economic, financial, and political, which cannot be defined, much less managed, by man’s knowledge, experience, and technology. However, God’s Gifts {tools} of the Holy Spirit do provide answers if we respond to God’s call to us. We need to make the Holy Spirit, God’s counselor gift to us, an integral part of our life and calling.

Beholding the Beauty of Righteousness – March 8, 2020 – Steve MillerWe are in the season of Lent, the 40-day period before Easter. The idea of observing Lent is not for us to try to earn something or do penance for anything, but rather it is an intentional reminder for us to focus on Jesus' love and His suffering and death to bear sin in our place. As we remind ourselves of the passion of Jesus, we see an ugly, horrible scene caused by our sin. But we also see the most beautiful demonstration of the love and righteousness of God towards us, His wayward children.Isaiah 53:1-12 When we look at Jesus on the cross, we see the appalling ugliness of the results of our rebellion against our loving Father God.At the same time, though, the cross is also the greatest picture of the beauty of the Lord. It's the most heroic act ever done. It demonstrates greater love than any person has ever had, to lay down one's life for another. It's the greatest comeback victory ever won over the worst enemy ever. It's the most perfect leadership ever demonstrated. It's the most generous gift ever given. Most importantly, in Jesus' death, we see the death of our old sinful self. And in His resurrection, we receive His new life and perfect righteousness.Walter Wangerin, Jr., in his devotional Reliving the Passion, describes why it's so important for us to remember what Jesus did on the cross: “The passion of Christ, His suffering and death, is such a mirror. Are the tears of my wife [that I caused] hard to look at? Well, the pain in the face of Jesus is harder. It is my self in my extremest truth. My sinful self. The death He died reflects a selfishness so extreme that by it I was divorced from God and life and light completely: I raised my self higher than God! But because the Lord God is the one true God, my pride did no more, in the end, than to condemn this false God of my self to death. For God will be God, and all false gods will fall before Him. So that's what I see reflected in the mirror of Christ's crucifixion: my death. My rightful punishment. My sin and its just consequence. Me. And precisely because it is so accurate, the sight is nearly intolerable. Nevertheless, I will not avoid the mirror! This mirror is not passive only, showing what is, it is active, creating new things to be. It shows me the new me behind the shadow of a sinner. For when I gaze at His crucifixion, I see my death indeed – but my death done! His death is the death of the selfish one, whom I called ugly and hated to look upon. And resurrection is another me.” In Jesus Christ is the death of our sinfulness, and our rebirth in His righteousness. In Him we are made alive by the Holy Spirit, and we are empowered and led by the Spirit to live in His righteousness.Romans 8:1-11 Hallelujah! By faith in Christ Jesus our sinful flesh is declared dead and we are indeed made alive and new by the Holy Spirit! But now that we are made new, Paul tells us that the Spirit will give life to our mortal bodies and fulfill the righteous requirement of the law as we walk according to the Spirit. And how do we walk according to the Spirit? By setting our minds on the things of the Spirit rather than on the things of the flesh.Our minds are a battleground. The mind can set the course toward the flesh's desires or toward the Spirit and righteousness. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. We are the gatekeepers of what knocks on the door of our minds. We, led by the Holy Spirit, can set the mind's agenda. We have the authority to kick out what doesn't belong and choose to think on those things that are beautiful and good.Spiritually speaking, there are a lot of vacuum salesmen out there wanting to dump dirt on the carpet of our minds that they have no intention of cleaning up.Colossians 3:1-10 Again Paul tells us to set our minds on things above. For the born-again believer, the flesh is legally dead and powerless. Our enemy can only lead us into sin by deception. So Paul teaches us to put to death those thoughts that lead to sin. With the Holy Spirit in us, we can rid ourselves of those earthly, sinful things. The Christian life is a life of ongoing renewal in knowledge and the image of our Creator.Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. We can choose to behold the Lord's beauty and think upon His goodness. All the beautiful things of God will encourage our hope in Him and remind us of our identity, purpose, and future in Him. They will help us walk in heaven even as we are on earth. In what ways can we think upon His beauty?· Remember Jesus' death for you on the cross as we regularly take the Lord's supper.· Read the Bible and listen to Godly teaching.· Meditate on the promises of the Bible.· Meditate on the goodness of God's commands.· Remember the faithful things He has done for you and tell others about them.· Give thanks for all He has done.· Sing and praise the Lord for His greatness.· Pray in the Spirit with tongues and with understanding.· Take time to listen to the Spirit's voice when you pray.· Speak what is true and good.· Ask God for wisdom.· Choose wisely what you watch, listen to, read, and otherwise put into your mind.Let's live by the Spirit, setting our minds on things above, not earthly things, and continually gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and His righteousness. In this we will be renewed in knowledge and the image of our Creator.Psalm 27:4 – One thing I ask from the Lord,this only do I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the Lordall the days of my life,to gaze on the beauty of the Lordand to seek him in his temple.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Never try to make anyone like yourself. You know, and God knows, that one of you is enough.” It is a marvellous thing to contemplate that there has never been another “you,” ever. Even identical twins are not really identical. It means that each of us is truly unique, which is reason enough for us not to try to make another person be exactly like us. In My Fair Lady, Professor Higgins laments by singing, “Why can’t a woman be more like a man?” Instead, he should have been singing, “There will never ever be another you,” because we are each one of a kind. This being said, while we are all different, yet we are also so much alike. Human nature is human nature. Each is so unique and yet all so much alike — sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? Snowflakes may look alike to us, yet we are told that each crystal is different. Each of us is obviously a human being, we have a great deal in common, yet scientists tell us that no two of us have the same DNA, fingerprints, stomach shape or a host of other characteristics that show our individuality. Our Creator made us each a unique individual, and yet He has given all of us His commandments to follow. While we are all different, we are supposed to be like His Son, for He has told us, through Paul, “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son.” Certainly, there has never been another like our Lord Jesus Christ, and yet we are told that we should try to conform to his image and that he is the one we should follow. Children are great mimics and they try to be like those they admire. As God’s children, we need to take care whom we admire and mimic, because as Paul tells us, “We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.” We can always find others to compare ourselves to and think, “Well, compared to them I am not so bad.” When we compare ourselves to the Lord Jesus Christ, we all fall woefully short, but he is the one we should imitate. So as Emerson said, we should not try to make anyone like us. And from Paul, we learn that we should not compare ourselves to others, but we should strive to be conformed to the image of Christ. In our mortal state, we will never measure up, but just think that very soon he is coming, and Paul tells us that when he comes, he will “change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body.” Notice he did not say, change our “vile” minds. We cannot do much about our body, but we do have control over what we think, and if we will change our thoughts now to think like Jesus, then when he comes he will change our vile bodies. “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” Rather than trying to make others be like us, let us concentrate on trying to make ourselves be more like Jesus. Again Paul tells us, “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” By working at thinking like Jesus now, we will be like him in nature when he comes. We pray that the words we often sing will soon be true: “We shall be like him, O how rich the promise.” Robert J.

The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:18, "Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body." Again Paul writes in Romans 1:24 "So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen." On today’s show, we’ll continue our conversation with author and pastor Deon Thomas from The King’s Sanctuary in Kingston, Jamaica. He has a new devotional workbook titled, “21 Days to Sexual Purity: A Biblical Devotional For Overcoming Sexual Temptations”. We’ll discuss the importance of our physical bodies and how using our body - entering into another person emotionally, spiritually and physically is the unique kind of sin that the Apostle Paul is referring to. On today’s episode of God, Sex and You, we’ll discuss: 1) How sexual sin has a degrading effect on the body. 2) Why lust makes you sluggish, unproductive and angry. 3) How science and medicine are now confirming Biblical teaching and truths.

The Apostle Paul writes in Romans 8:15 says, “For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’”  Again Paul writes in Galatians 4:7 says, “Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.” The Bible is crystal clear with our relationship to God. God is our Father, and we are His adopted children. Did you know that God is recognized as our Father 265 times in scripture? Well, all that to say that we are continuing our conversation with John Lynch of Trueface Ministries today as we discuss the theme of God being a good Father in their new movie titled, “The Heart of Man.” On today’s episode of God, Sex and You, we’ll discuss: 1) How our earthly father is different than our Heavenly Father. 2) The lie that God is disgusted and ashamed of you. 3) The lie that God’s love depends on your purity.

Ephesians 2:19 "Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God." Again Paul is comparing our former condition with our new condition.
