Most people know the story, of how Jesus slept, while the storm raged and the boat was tossed and heaved, and the disciples were ALL filled with fear and panicked. Here's the difference. Jesus knew God's eternal nature, beyond the shadow of any doubt and had totally overcome and tamed His instinctual nature, that from its characteristic pride, vanity, envy, selfish ambition, desire for creature comforts and fear for survival, feeds the...

Religion isn't "the church" or preaching, etc. If you look into the origin of the word, it means: To be in a right relationship with God. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:7-8 Preach the gospel at all times and when necessary use words Francis of Assisi Many talk (preach) about it and can recite...

The kingdom of heaven, while it does exist, is much more than a place or location or a fairytale. It's a way of life, the truth, the way and the life (true way of life) that God intended for us to live forever, in His divine nature and characteristics of absolute, undying, virtuous, true love and the only thing that's stopping you from living in heaven on earth or making your life a living hell, is you. The religious, legal eagles and...

True Love heals all wounds, including broken hearts. So many, like Simon the sorcerer (Acts 8:18-29), seek the power of the Holy Spirit. But the power of the Holy Ghost doesn't come from wanting it or thinking you have the right or authority to wield it. The Holy Ghost is the supernatural presence of God's divine nature and characteristics of absolute, undying, virtuous, true love and all the power is His, and to be truly righteous, is...

If I was a self-conscious and vain person, I'd be concerned with how others see me. Yet I couldn't care less what anyone makes of me, for I'm not man-made (Romans 9:20-21). Having experienced the presence of God's divine nature and characteristics, in absolute, supernatural power and glory, I know what He's looking for in people. He's looking to see if their thoughts, words and deeds come from His divine nature of absolute, true love...

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:8 It's no coincidence that true love is so hard to find. To know God, is to know true love, but how can we know true love, without experiencing it? Sadly, the way the vast majority of us come to know it, is not by experiencing it, but by experiencing what it's not, because as the scripture says, "not one is righteous". Nobody is truly virtuous, according to the divine...

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:9 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing....

Freshly Penned
FLEXIBILITY
passive lamb-like characteristic of true love's divine nature
Flexibility is being open to change. You consider the ideas and feelings of others and don't insist on your own way. Flexibility enables you to be creative and discover new ways to get things done. You easily drop things that become a hindrance and adopt new ones. Flexibility helps you to keep changing for the better.
Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Challenge yourself to be aware of any and all opportunities to practice and apply flexibility in your life this week, and the times you should have, but didn't because of the characteristic pride, vanity, envy, selfishness, ambition, lust, greed, desire for creature comfort and/or fear for survival of the carnal, instinctual, egoistic (self-centered) nature of your flesh.
