If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26-27
Jesus In Me
.. My heart my attitude.. love for God is the same that Jesus had also. That is the standard. But you see you need the power of The Spirit of God in which He comes to give us this godly heart affection and attitude. Christ when He baptises us in the power of His Spirit – He said ‘ I will come back to you (John 14:17,18)’ Not some power – He means exactly what He says.. When we are empowered by The Spirit of God it means I have received Christ in His entirety. I have received Him in His fulness. Everything that He is, everything that He has achieved – has done at Calvary – I have received that in His fulness – I am baptised.. ‘ We Give The Same Devotion As Christ Did To His Father. ‘
Jesus The Overcomer
.. Not only that, He has come to take over. And the only way He can take over in our lives is of course when we too take up our cross daily and follow Him. It’s called yielding over to The Spirit – to the will of God. He has overcome the cross – Calvary, He has overcome death.. the weakness of the flesh, the unbelief – all those things we were infested by. It is about Him who lives in me – the Overcomer.
Yielding And Devotion
I can only be an overcomer if my life is filled with The Overcomer – Christ Himself – else you are going to fail. You are not going to understand this walk. That is why I have this title ‘ We Give The Same Devotion As Christ Did To His Father. ‘ You will never have this devotion.. unless the One that had that devotion – that commitment – has taken over in your life and my life.. .. ..
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Exodus 20:4-6
For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. Deuteronomy 4:24
Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2Corinthians 11:1-3
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Matthew 10:34-39
Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. Psalm 73:25-28
