glory

To be in Christ means to be one with Him, for in Him we live and move and have our being. He also comes to dwell in us when we are born again, we are new creatures in Christ, and as the Word says Christ in me is the hope of glory. So He lives in me and I in Him, which itself is a mystery, a spiritual union.

Yes , Jesus is fully God.

Yes, Jesus is fully God. He is the Word, since the Word is a Person ,and He became flesh and dwelt among us. He was there before time began, with the Father and with the Holy Spirit, the Triune Godhead. All things came into being through Him, He created all things .

That He made everything; creation and all of its glory was made by Him. Heaven, the moon and the stars, He ordained and established.He made us, the earth and all it contains. He is Elohim, Creator of the heavens and earth, the birds, the seas, etc..He cares for us human beings.He made us a little lower than Himself, and crowned us with glory and honor.We are God's masterpiece, created in Christ's image.We are to praise and worship Him for Who He is, for His greatness and majesty.

Without the help of the Holy Spirit, everything is all man made. He is the One responsible for the miracles; Paul the Apostle being His yielded vessel. Will-power may work to motivate others but it wont last.We need Word-power to show the world that Jesus Christ is indeed The Miracle Worker of all times.Miracles were significant in Paul's ministry because they attested to the healing power of the One, True, Living God that Paul preached about and drew people to Christ.If we saw more miracles, some would believe and come to Christ, and others would no doubt reject the Gospel even when there's evidence to support the miracles.I do believe a lot of people are hindered by religious spirits and their own man- made traditions.

They were jealous of Paul's ministry..the Bible says the godly in Christ shall suffer persecution..Paul was fulfilling the call God had placed on his life, even though it cost him everything,,we should never stop preaching the gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation...many will oppose us because their minds are blinded by the god of this world.So they love money, power, fame, etc...instead of having to humble themselves beneath the Mighty Hand of a loving God..I pray the Lord will open up their spiritual eyes and ears so they can see and hear Truth.I grew up in Islam and remember hating the Name of Jesus..today it is the sweetest Name I know..praise God He opened my eyes just in time or I would have died.

Paul was definitely not a people pleaser and kept his distance from the leaders of the Jerusalem church, even though he appreciated their approval of his ministry to the gentiles as being by grace only and not through law-keeping.I'm sure the Galatians were happy to know that Paul had the approval of the leaders of Jerusalem; it confirmed to them that we are saved by God's grace through faith in Christ alone.Paul knew Who had called him and therefore was confident in His calling, whether they liked him or not.

He wanted to show them that God's grace was equally sufficient for the Jews and Gentiles, circumcised or uncircumcised. Paul wanted them to see that being circumcised and keeping the law was not how a person was saved, but rather through faith in Christ.

The fact that God called him and set him apart as a chosen vessel, revealing Himself to Paul by divine intervention on the road to Damascus, ready to kill believers for their faith in Christ, qualifies him as an ideal apostle to preach to the Gentiles. Paul was from Tarsus, highly educated, a murderer, yet God still used him mightily to spread the Gospel . I am able to communicate well with all people groups and I operate a lot by giving others a word of knowledge or words of wisdom at various times.I love to intercede for others, love to sing, praise and worship the Lord, and witness to others about Jesus Christ.

The source of Paul's gospel is a revelation of the the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. It is a true revelation because it can be backed up by the Word of God as seen in the Old Testament and the epistles, as well as Jesus's teachings to His disciples.Without checking Scripture for ourselves, we can be led astray and end up believing lies and errors since many of these contemporary leaders are not even being led by the Holy Spirit but by the flesh or by their own traditions .Thank God the Spirit of truth dwells within us and He helps us to discern truths from errors, because what we believe affects our eternal destiny.

Accepting another gospel other than faith in the Cross and what Christ accomplisehd for us at Calvary can affect one's eternal destiny. This is extremely dangerous and satan knows it and thus tried to use the Judaizers to introduce salvation by works and trusting in one's own merits to be saved. Today, a lot of christians in the Body of Christ are affected by this same religious spirit that tells them they have to do certain rituals and works to be saved.Basically, man trying to do good works to please God, hoping he will be acceptable and righteous unto God.We can never be righteous apart from the Blood of Jesus, but the devil has perverted so much of the Gospel that I'm starting to see why many christians are falling away or leaving churches and not wanting to go back.

Jesus gave Himself to rescue us from our sins, since sin separates man from a holy God. He rescues people today by the preaching of the Cross and sending missionaries and others to spread the message of the Gospel, the good news. He enables us to overcome the past and not go back by leading us by His indwelling Holy Spirit, by giving us His Word,which has the power to strengthen us so that we dont go back to doing the things in the flesh like we used to.

We are living letters to others because they can read us like a book, that's why it's so important we live our lives pleasing unto God and letting others see Christ in us, because we are supposed to be conformed to the image of God's Son, Jesus Christ. People are not stupid, they can recognise phonies and hypocrites in the body of Christ, therefore we need to be transparent since we are ambassadors of Christ's Kingdom and we're supposed to represent Him here on earth.When people mention to me about something they admire, I politely say thank you and I always try to remember to give glory to God and not become prideful or puffed up since all the gifts comes from Him anyways.When I let my light shine, others are supposed to see my good works, and glorify my Father in heaven.

People who are open to knowing God will warmly embrace the message of the Cross and it becomes a sweet smelling fragrance to them while those who want to practice their licentious lifestyle will find the gospel repugnant and offensive because their hearts are closed to God and His ways.Only last week I was trying out some samples of new perfumes at the store and some of them were heavenly smelling. In the same way, I believe the Cross brings a heavenly scent and life to those who are perishing.I do believe I need to regain some of that saltiness and flavor I once had when I first came to Christ.Almost all of my family seem to be allergic to christian perfume and I have gotten somewhat discouraged over the years. I pray the Holy Spirit will enable me to regain the fragrance of Christ's gospel.

When we don't forgive, it opens up the door for the enemy to work in our lives. Bitterness in our hearts and holding onto grudges and not letting go can be symptoms of an unforgiving heart.According to Matthew's gospel, if we forgive others for sinning against us, then will our Heavenly Father forgive us for our sins.Forgiveness is not a feeling but a choice, a decision of the will to pardon someone who has badly hurt us.Once I choose to let go and forgive, the Holy Spirit will enable me to do so and bring healing and peace into my life, but I have to be willing to let it go completely and turn it over to God.
