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. Whatever you have learned
or received or heard from me, or seen in me-
put into practice. And the God of peace will be
with you.
((Philippians 4.8 & 9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
We know also that the Son of God has come and
has given us understanding, so that we may know Him
Who is true. And we are in Him Who is true- even
in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
(I. John 5. 20 & 21).
Avoid false teachings and incorrect concepts of God.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
No one comes to the Father except through Him.
(John 14.6).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
We know that we are the children of God, and that the
whole world is under the control of the evil one. We
know also that the Son of God has come and has given
us understanding, so that we may know Him Who is true.
And we are in Him Who is true- even in His Son Jesus Christ.
He is the true God and eternal life.
Dear children keep yourselves from idols.
(I. John 5.19-21).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not
lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life.
I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death.
There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he
should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there
is sin that does not lead to death.
We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin;
the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one
cannot harm him. We know that we are the children of God, and
that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know
also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding,
so that we may know Him Who is true. And we are in Him Who is
true- even in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
(I.John 5.16-21).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
So this I say and solemnly testify in the name of the Lord, that you
must no longer live as the heathen do in their perverseness (in the
folly, vanity, and emptiness of their souls and the futility) of their
minds.
Their moral understanding is darkened and their reasoning is clouded.
They are alienated from the life of God because of ignorance that is deep-
seated in them, due to their hardness of heart.
In their spiritual apathy they have become callous and past feeling and
reckless and have abandoned themselves as a prey to unbridled sensuality,
eager and greedy to indulge in every form of impurity that their depraved
desires may suggest and demand.
But you did not so learn Christ!
Assuming that you have really heard Him and been taught by Him, as all
Truth is in Jesus embodied and personified in Him,
Strip yourselves of your former nature which characterized your previous
manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring
from delusion;
And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind,
And put on the new nature created in God’s image, in true righteousness
and holiness.
(Ephesians 4. 17-24).
AMEN!
TRUE SPIRITUALITY
But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy,peace, longsuffering,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Gentleness,self-control.
Against such there is no law.
And those who are Christ’s have
crucified the flesh with its passions
and desires.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk
in the Spirit.
( Galatians 5.22-25).
THOUGHTS FOR MEDITATION
Please meditate on the following thoughts:
1) The Holy Spirit places His character
in us.
2) This is how we display God’s attributes.
3) God’s attributes are irresistible and
highly attractive.
4) The fruit of the Holy Spirit displays
true spirituality.
TRUE FREEDOM
Even so consider yourselves also
dead to sin and your relation to it
broken, but alive to God, living in
unbroken fellowship with Him, in
Christ Jesus.
Therefore do not let sin rule in you
mortal body, that you should obey it
in its lusts.
And do not present your members
as instruments of unrighteousness
to sin, but present yourselves to God
as being alive from the dead, and your
members as instruments of righteousness
to God.
For sin shall not have dominion over you,
for you are not under law but under grace.
What then, shall we sin because we are not
under law but under grace? Certainly not!
Do you not know that to whom you present
yourselves as servants to obey, you are that one’s
servants whom you obey, whether of sin leading
to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?
But thank God that though you were servants of sin,
yet you obeyed from the heart that form of teaching
to which you were delivered.
And having been set free from sin, you have become
servants of righteousness.
( Romans 6.11-18).
Consider the following:
1) The meaning of freedom
2) Thought, purpose and action
patterns that lead to true freedom
Meditate and pray about these.
The Holy Spirit guides God’s children
into all truth and obedience to His will.
TRUE FREEDOM IS DOING THE THINGS
WHICH BRING ETERNAL DIVIDENDS
