Newness Of Life
Hebrews 2:14-15 - "Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, HE HIMSELF likewise partook of the same things, that through death HE might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery."
Called to live a free life, a victorious life, a glorious life. What stops us? Fear. Is Fear real ? No. It is a lie. Then, what is the TRUTH ? GOD is TRUTH. GOD's WORD is the TRUTH. Isaiah 45:19-"I have not spoken in secret,from somewhere in a land of darkness;I have not said to Jacob’s descendants, ‘Seek ME in vain.’I, the LORD, speak the Truth; I declare what is Right."
GOD formed us for HIS purpose. HE knows us inside out (Psalms 139:13-18).GOD and HIS WORD never changes. Then, what is that which makes us feel discouraged in life ? What stops us from experiencing joy in its fullness (John 16:24) which CHRIST promised us ? Jeremiah 17:9 - "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?"
Fill the heart with The TRUTH......The WORD of GOD. John 8: 32 - "Then you will know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH will set you free.”
Accept The WORD !!! Believe The WORD !!! Purge out own thoughts !!! Replace with GOD's Thoughts !!! (Isaiah 55:8 - 9)
GOD's WORD has Power !!! (1Cor 1:18) .We will be FREE.
We are called to live experiencing the Victory CHRIST took for us on the Cross, free from the lifelong slavery of fear of death.
Romans 6:4 "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."

John: 21. 18. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19. This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
Following Jesus to exhibit God's glory is prophecy, will of God as we are already raised with him . More than preaching, our life itself would present & exhibit the life with a greatest vision to others about Salvation .Sharing Christ's glory is prophecy by our own Life.Security of life is faith in word .Love towards God is faith in God's word .Obeying the law is only out of personal security for the sake of security. Faith in word is really love towards Father and man.Like Daniel or His three friends who defied every situation that was fearful not acceptable to flesh realm .The result ---Many became convinced about God .Today ,where is God , is the question asked about a God who is alive and living within us . God wants to exhibit his own self to a greater extend . He needs an Address to exhibit his love, kindness, mercy, eternal life & his word etc.James 1:18. We are born out of His word .We are really chosen for this .Isaiah 55:10-11,Daniel: 6. 16-28.

2 Corinthians: 3. 6. Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Interaction with letter .Interaction with spirit.The difference is vast .The letter imposes upon other without the other's consent.
The obey part is done not out of love but out of fear ,security & obligation .Once released from its conditions or ties ,then to obey or not to obey becomes a matter of sole discretion . But the ministry of new testament is not out of imposing that favours a current moment or its condition but a revelation that creates a conviction to the inner mind with such power that it results in an attitude unwavering in manner. Malachi 3:6.The word of God never changes.God too does not change .Perfect love is free of fear.
The baptism by holy spirit always gives reason to conviction by light . Reason of living by own strength result in simply a life filled with variation that only brings mind to a standstill. The result will be realised only after passing away things are discerned .Each of those that were eagerly pursued would simply detach and mock at those that ran after it. Daniel 12:2
Acts: 16. 27-33. Baptism is enabling conviction of mind by a clear vision .Paul and Silas were convinced not only about themselves but about the jailer.The jailer too becomes convinced about themselves .Each moment the reason of current moment should be a conviction of word .This makes life alive .This creates newness of life.This makes walking with God and man a possibility, were the value of man is that created by God not by any virtue of man .

Mark: 1. 17. And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
Baptism by the holy spirit is revelation of word as Light to both to whom it is imparted or to those it is revealed .The beauty of this is that it becomes a conviction rather than doing something out of obligation. Its like glucose which converts to energy when consumed ; conviction changes to faith which spurs the positive altitude that's elemental to instant action every moment. Often in worldly things we start off with something but sad to say we stop it half the way . Main reason is losing hope due to many a reason .But with respect to execution of will of God, right from beginning to its completion, there is never a loss of hope ,for the vision of hope is always rekindled to the inner eye as light by holy spirit . This is the mystery behind the ministry of new covenant and law .The law teaches, imposes & then judges . Revelation in the new covenant is without judging & imposing, instead makes the mind see exactly as how this moment must be seen ! Meaning -The nature of man is always to see with our own reasoning at everything . This if evaluated we understand ,it undergoes such a change that we are like a rubber tennis ball bouncing, tossed , confused with 1000 decisions opinions about the same thing not only yesterday, not only today but also tomorrow. The result is that the mind comes to such a standstill nature; its more like a nonfunctioning brain ! That makes the body it commands, into a human vegetable . How with a stiff necked attitude that imposes only negative attitude of every darkness can bring about creativity or sucess. The greatest creativity is involved not in discerning gravity but keeping the mind going on to execute the will of God. Its glory of God which exhibited the greatest personality that walked on Earth .Lord Jesus Christ
We in turn his disciples.Fishers of men !To complete his ministry that he started .But what if it all amounts to reason?
To Moses and Jesus, we see the reason of each moment was interpreted only as God and His word . But what really happens to us ! Most often the reason of interpretation of situation or people is out of own reasoning & own wisdom.Resulting in life that lacks hope ,joy ,courage & faith .Each day is mixed with a type of gap.Sometimes its filled with light or word of God .
At other times ,its filled with own wisdom which forms a reason . Baptism by holy spirit is revelation of God's glorious purpose that does not have any gaps or missing links that each moment ,each day of life is a continuous state of journey that's not out of obeying law for social security but out of surety of victory where each one is a winner .
Question . Gen 45:5-6, Joseph says to his brothers . Do not be sad or upset because you sold me, instead God send me ahead for ..... Joseph could have developed an attitude to himself .Like here is a bunch of brothers who cheated me ..Who will cheat me in any given chance ..So why should I live with them ! But we see, Joseph saw something greater than such a negative attitude . What was it ? This is revelation of light that inspires the greatest creativity of becoming fishers of men . This makes one see the great value in OTHERS as God saw ,before he created each one of us .Without seeing this value ,what reason is there to interact with others ,than for pride of life .Which passes with each moment .
Parents are thrilled at final year examination results of their child . If result is negative ,all hope is gone about child .If result is good, a great jubilant nature that gives way to despair as the excitement withers . God's value about others is not the inspiration .
Greatest creativity in midst of greatest challenge is God's unending value about you and me .Psalm: 139. 14- 18. The reason of greatest creativity is vision about others and ourselves as predestined by God that is governed by His glorious will ,word ,power always revealed by holy spirit, that instills a win win attitude for every one and all . This is what made Joseph go on with such motivation along with his brothers.Never felt cheated or anything of that sort. Are we driven by value of men or value of fish ?
This is the gap of reason.

Revelation: 3. 20. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Eternal victory that Jesus achieved assisted & helped by the holy spirit by revelation of the word ,execution of the word, power of the word ,victory in faith about the word .Being with Father !Revelation of Glory .
Always a victory that boasts of joy, peace, happiness unlike worldly victory that only adds anxiety, fear & ignorance .Like for example the parable of the rich man who had a field with its yield thriving .Luke: 12. 16-20
The eternal victory and its peace, joy ,happiness can be seen in life of Joseph as in Genesis 45:5-7 .Where he sees His brothers who were responsible for his life in distress, yet seeing in it a great victory all through out ; not as an act of vengeance or pride or arrogance but one of humility and of faith in a hope of victory .For ALL. Win win for all. Genesis: 45. 5-11. A victory that finds reason to enjoy peace ,love, joy, faith & trust in God . The opposite happens when we strive mastery overself .1 John 2:15-17.
We are all thrilled and surprised at the super victorious life of Moses.Each moment being led by God ! But the glory & perfection on one side is seen with what was given to him .Just the shepherds Rod. Same with the disciples .So that ,not only its trust in Lord but attitude of trusting in Lord every moment is the result . Often pride of life creates in mind an attitude of own self, that prompts to reason things in our own manner that leads to great folly or mistake or blunder. Yes, Moses had less mistake or blunder in his life ! Always being more correct in every situation , challenging himself to the core through faith seeing a victory that was a promise of the Lord. A win win for ALL . Num: 12. 3- 8.
Often pride of life seems to give victory but reality is , with it comes a wrong attitude of arrogance that leads to folly.
The challenge it poses is --why should I do it ! Even if I don't do it ,does it matter ? May be I will do it later ! A later that replaces with only a LATER. Executing will of God is never LATER Its this moment !

Acts: 1. 8. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
The winner takes it ALL. Victory has many concepts .Victory has many dimensions.Victory has many meanings .Victory has many conquests.Victory has many areas .Victory has yesterdays ,todays as well as tomorrows . Victory has eternity too.
Jesus taught, revealed ,exhibited a VICTORY of ETERNITY , that is not a MYTH. Thats not a laughing matter . That is not meant for a handful few ! Anyone like ME and YOU can achieve ! What is this !The victory over Flesh body realm .Victory over people
Victory over human relationship .Human relationship is meaningless in flesh for its objectivity is founded upon lust of eyes, lust of flesh,pride of life & those which pass away . Those which lose its lustre ,the moment we receive what we desired . The victory that mocks at us , the moment we receive it . The victory that seperates from us , like the orbit of our planet which is detached from us at every moment but still tracking and following the same virtual orbit . Like it is there ,but not a part of the planet.
It is just there because of the Sun's pull towards it. Once the pull of the previous moment is over ,it moves on to next point endlessly revolving , like an endless dance but driven by gravity of sun with such force that trying to remain stationery is impossible . Never possible to enjoy . Pursuing what's still ahead ,like something that's unreal yet forced into it but not to be tasted but kept in front of a hungry person . Water to drink .Food to eat .But not to be possessed!
Jesus said ,Come to me ,all who thirst .I will give you water to drink .After which you will not thirst ! The baptized state by holy spirit with word revealed as LIGHT, strengthens the weak like us with power of Faith and opens the inner eyes of understanding to such unimaginable levels that it reveals nothing but Glory of God as revealed through eyes of God. The victory that made every incident of cross a bearable period for Jesus but with a great objectivity . I will walk ahead of you after three days ! Those who win will share with me the same seat of victory .The right side of Father .
Like the parable -- How the prodigal son was received .He was dead before .Now he was alive.Before he was lost .Now he is found . A victory that shares the glory of God with God and All that does not charge any fees, any service charge, that does not boast of pride at what it gave to make others victorious . That does not remain obligated .ROM 13:8. Allowing grace and freedom for Recipient, to enjoy unconditional eternal victory . About which the other too is so clear & so sure . Yes, an assisted victory through Promise, Covenant of God about which He alone is author & executer ! Revealed through the holy spirit .
Baptized each moment by the holy spirit takes one into the experience of eternal victory that is permanent .I am a God of living,
Not dead . This is baptizing others & being baptized ourselves each moment . That which transforms the mind to receive the permanency of God.Romans 12:2, John: 6. 27, 31,32,35-39,44, 68 , Revelation: 22. 12-13,17, John: 1. 25- 36
Following Jesus who ascended is possible only by baptized state in spirit by Holy spirit . Its not teaching, its revelation of Light that does not IMPOSE with judgement or personal interests or conditions of this moment but an individual CONVICTION . Yes I can
Yes I will ,Yes I am free to do it .Surely possible .Nothing can stop me !NOT even my own ignorance, related negative thoughts can ever more enslave me ! John: 7. 37-39.

1 John: 2. 15. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Baptized by the word is thrilling ,with a sure hope of reality that always carries success with no barrier to hold .But mastery of flesh or its perception always brings dead end, stops at each moment after the very same achievement of what it craved for.
Look back at yesterday ! What ever we desired ,hoped after it is achieved. what happens ? A new challenge because of what's achieved is the result. The new challenge offers a specific question -which fills the mind with totally new IGNORANCE.
Its here we often find life quite unfavorable in the world, as there is finally no end to anything that's achieved , for the new meaning remains for ever new . The revelation of word through holy spirit both about God and us offers the great motivation by the fact that each moment the addition of light to the mind is more surety about God more surety about oneself & more surety about others. This surety is the real worth of LIFE. That which passes away does not offer surety about God, about ourself or about others. We just assume that ,those which passed away could be a clue for tomorrow . But tomorrow, the moment it dawns ,brings with it so many unexpected situations that priority of yesterday is like a line drawn in water . We ourselves redraw the line with a new priority .Doing the will of God does not need, to redraw a new priority . Its one and the same priority, right from its beginning to end . A priority that finds meaning ,purpose that moves or travels with you ! It does not ever ever abandon you.
Jesus said - I will be with you always till the end ! Mat: 28. 20.
Does the meaning of OTHERS hold sense permanently to us or does it keep on changing with respect to situation ! If so ,baptism with the world is enslaving us . Beware !

Job: 1. 21. And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
The folly of life is pursuing those things that we have to leave behind . These things that always cannot be fathomed or defined in terms of "How much " For what
Look at the will of God. Romans 12:2 .There is the fullness .There is a worthiness about it . Romans: 12. 2 , John: 9. 4 - 5 .
Revelation of today by God is God's highest desire matching his glory . His promise is normally seen as security . Yes.
But God's promise is exhibition of who God is . If we look at it that way ,we will see it in a different light! Like ..An idea can change your life ! Just like that . Hagar received promise about Ishmael which was the most thrilling thing ,so motivating ,compelling that she forgets herself and the best in her as a result of the promise.A life well lived .A life worth living .A life from which no one needs to run away .For the executer of promise is God himself. Romans: 4. 19- 23,Gen: 21. 17.-20
Yes .Promise of God is the greatest idea that brings the best in you .Best along with God . No need for a waiting game
Every moment is a moment of work with peace that no one can snatch.At no one's mercy .At no situations mercy .
You are always really in command, for its truth getting executed with its power. Isaiah: 55. 11-13. I, Matthew: 22. 29,32
Forgetting self to embrace the cross ! Is height of greatest motivation that's thrills the mind with such conviction and surety and joy .
Revelation by Holy spirit about it each moment ! Mat: 16. 24-28. .
Never having to blame anything, anyone, any more.And no time to waste lingering .For much to be done! With hope that's as sure as God. For thats His promise.

John: 17. 26. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Desire of God is to reveal and reveal more of Himself to His children individually .This is done out of His love towards His children.The purpose for revelation is to make the children capable ,to trust the Father . The Desire to UNITE with the Father and thus leading to Eternal Hope . Eph.2:12,1John 5:1.This eternal hope is the source or key to victory through faith in God.
For without the catalyst Hope, life has no agenda ,objectivity, aim or Goal . The aim ,goal ,objectivity of LIFE differs from aim, objectivity, goal that an individual pursues on daily basis . What's perceived on daily basis looes its lustre the moment its received experienced or achieved .The objectivity of LIFE is never that ; neither can it be ever equated to that . We often unknowingly equate flesh body & worldly objectivity to objectivity of LIFE. Then terming it or defining it as - lifetime achievement or desire !
The result is really the catastrophy of a LIFE devoid of HOPE. Halfway through life's journey the purpose of worldly things is lost .
The five senses of flesh body itself is the basic criterion. Thrill of world by flesh is second criterion . Fear of world is third criterion .
The moment the summation of above is achieved the objectivity loses thrill to continue. The ten lepers story is a good example.
The moment they received healing, their objectivity is experienced and pursuing Jesus or the very cause of pursuing Jesus is lost.
Only one came back. The prodigal Son comes back - this is another pointer. He finds life meaningful in where he belongs; where he is a wanted person , where he has a reason to live ! A reason to LIVE how ? ETERNALLY
Question
Why should I live eternally ? What desire would drive me ,thrill me ,motivate me to live eternally ?
An eg.., That of an expatriate .We who work in a foreign country desire so much to go for annual vacation ! Why
Our desire to live, spend time with our dear ones, parents etc..Why ? That's where we belong .That's where we want to be
That's where we find acceptance of who we are .That's where we too like to give ourselves .The united oneness ! That's an objectivity that pushes us to strive for ,with purpose above daily needs or cares of life. Similarly ,urge to live with God is living in glory, that both ourselves as well as God equally share between each another an eternal Love. Remove this eternal love
What's the reason to live together ! Nothing !
Why as parents we desire our children to trust us ? Because we desire to give them the best always .With this objectivity we suggest the best advice & instruction always. Yet ,why is it mostly not accepted or rejected like seeds falling on weeds or rocky ground like the parable of sower ? Because the real love that's greater than love of world has not yet started in them . But it will ,when they too become parents !
How do we reveal our love to them ? By our character, behaviour, trust & faith in them . Its an expression out of our love towards them ,that we always forgive, always hopes ,never keep an account of wrongs. 1Cor.13:3-7. Yes, revelation of God about Himself is similar ,in its best form . The Holy spirit the revealer is send for this very same objectivity . To rekindle our hope .Salvation , promise & covenant is all about this permanent joy. Examining ourselves personally on above grounds will reveal what we ought to really attach with God .We must attach with God ,no matter how busy we are or how worldly occupied we are .For rat race of life will cease any moment ! No one can be sure .! One small change to physical body or situation is all it takes . We see these in every day life . Suddenly what was perceived with great objectivity is lost or even becomes meaningless
The very thing in which we pride ,vanishes. 1John 2:15-17.Suddenly life becomes hopeless .Life loses meaning .What we thought would make others attached to us would wither away leading to utter desperation, hatred & despair .
Arise .Life is not for this ! A real worthy game . Where we are really wanted ,as much as God wants himself !
Ecclesiastes: 12. 1- 14. ,Daniel: 12. 2 -3, 1 John: 2. 15-17
Reason for why one must strive to excel in executing the will of God upon one's life. Rest all pass away .It will lose its purpose .
It will look back and mock at you .Pride of youth ,will mock at you ! For you lost its meaning .The great depression that many suffer at retirement is this eye opener. We should thank God he has given us a glorious will in which there is no retirement
In which ,nothing that was done or achieved will ever LOOK back at you and will mock you instead will embrace you.

Matthew: 11. 27. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
.
Revelation of the Trinity. Revelation should be clearly understood in the right perspective . How is it different from teaching.
Teaching can be transferred from one to another from what's received. Revelation is truth directly being revealed directly from source to recipient.! Jesus as Christ the saviour to each man is a revelation God had predestined .Through this everything else is revealed and becomes a conviction. Salvation ,promise, covenant, hope, faith, heaven, love, Father ....On top of it Holy spirit himself becomes a reality for the individual. Today the greatest question is being led by the holy spirit. The example of revelation can be narrated likewise. We are all parents by now. We teach our children so many things both spiritual as well as physical.
We never teach that ,we are their parents rather its a conviction, who we are to them & what they are to us ! Its a constant continuous state of mutual revelation exhibited out of Love. What is really exhibited ? The character ,behaviour, faith ,belief, trust etc! This they receive involuntarily from us even without our knowledge ,that its not taught by a third person but by a direct revelation ! Its a constant state of growth. As the child grows into more of life and wisdom ,the nature of his parents gets revealed so much so that as the child himself becomes a father/mother by himself to discern more about his parents ! Similarly revelation of the trinity and its importance to each one of us individually is so important to grasp who we are, what we are ,where we come from, where we go , what to Hope for .
Does life really have a clear meaning that is definable eternally even defeating the very question of death .
1 John: 5. 10-16. , John: 1. 9-14. Aren't we sure about our parents! This surety also instills a trust in us about our parents .Which results in experience of love both from parents as well as to parents by us .Both of which is a state of continuous growth ! A bond that gathers strength as time progresses.! Luke: 15. 11-24. Discerning the Father ! Is revelation to one's own self ? Yes, who is really God to each one of us is a matter of individual revelation , experience ,trust, unshakable confidence! Amen
John: 12. 32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. The Son was lifted up so all will be drawn to the Father so all would become Sons! Sons of truth !
1 Timothy: 2. 3- 6., Exodus: 6. 2- 3. Revelation about God himself is God's greatest desire ,just like we desire our children to discern our sincere love towards them ! That they would listen to us ! Proverbs: 9. 10

John: 3. 3. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Baptizing in the name of Father and of the Son and of the Holy spirit calls for revelation of wisdom about the Trinity individually.
Revelation of wisdom about the Trinity individually calls for a continuous state of growth in wisdom about the Trinity. This growth in wisdom is so much essential to really understand who oneself is ,as well as who others are , with respect to God as well as to oneself. Interaction has two phases ! One is the normal interaction that is based on physical nature of world which is the most common practise that we are all aware of. But interaction with the specific intention of revelation of the Trinity to Others is one we are often not aware or often ignored. This second interaction calls for availing oneself both for God as well as man. It is a dedicated service . The service is selfless ,while making oneself available to God and man; being used as a vessel of God.
This is ministry of new covenant. Which is totally God revealing Himself to others through you and me.The submission to God for this is the first step.This submission calls for sacrificing oneself with respect to one's own thoughts, feelings, opinion, assumption & attitude about others . Instead growing in wisdom about others in Truth ! Can we define Others in truth ? Can we have a unchanging conviction about others in truth . Can we really hold the conviction about who others are from beginning to end ?
Then its equal to the same as when Jesus was in the world .He had the conviction about you and me! Which He never changed & will never change ever! Titus: 3. 3- 7 ,Ephesians: 3. 6 -11, John: 12. 24-26, John: 21. 17, Exodus: 3. 10-17.

John: 5. 17. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 19. Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 20. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
Father is working each moment. Truth is revealed each moment. This revelation is to be received ,accepted, exhibited each moment . Mathew 5:13-14, Each one of us are Salt and Light of this world. From the balcony of my house I saw the mother entrusting her little child to the caretaker of school bus. The cry of child was as if Mother why are you cheating me ! Why are you leaving me alone ! Why are you so cruel to me ! Don't you know I am helpless ! I am so much afraid ! I CAN DO NOTHING BY MYSELF ! Yet why the mother send the child ? We know the answer .Only then the child will gather wisdom on its own .
God the father send Jesus & did everything . This was through the holy spirit.Acts 10:37 .Then he was raised ,ascended after which the holy spirit was send to each one of us . So that we too like the little child ought to receive the revelation of truth .Day by day moment by moment. For we are not living under law instead living under light .As children of light .Lighted to lighten.
Our great mission is to make others too strongly interconnected to the holy spirit, so others too will grow into the victorious personalities who live by FAITH in TRUTH in a self sufficient manner. This living in faith by an individual, is the real life as sons of God . Sons of truth !Sons of freedom .Truth will set YOU FREE.NO MORE CRY BABY.Then the duty is over.Amen.
Acts: 10. 37-38. ,Matthew: 5. 13. - 16, Ephesians: 5. 8.-9, John: 8. 32
The mother loved the child so sincerely that she wanted her child to be free .Living by itself ,not as an ignorant fearful cry baby .
A glorious victorious life that's sharing nothing less than the GLORY of God., Romans: 8. 14-17, Hebrews: 10. 38. ,Mat: 28: 19.

John: 1. 18. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Truth is revealed each moment.Truth has to be revealed each moment.Truth is revealed through Son/s of truth .Truth is work of God this moment that finds its relationship to begin and end which is the glory of current moment with respect to eternal life!
Romans: 10. 4. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Through faith truth reveals glory of God this moment.

John: 1. 12. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
To become Sons of God is to become sons of Truth. Becoming sons of truth means the hope, truth has about truth is the same that a son of truth can hope both about oneself as well as others.For the hope set in truth is work of God, never in any way affected by work of man what ever man may imagine, think or assume. For everything of man passes by, about which he himself is not sure. Anxiety is what runs althrough out. But truth does not ever run after anxiety , for everything is established by truth for truth through truth. Truth exhibits its power dominating over every deception of mind. Each moment ,truth reigns supreme in midst of deception. This is why Jesus boldly declared I will walk ahead of you after three days !Being born again is being born in truth .
Faith in truth is reality of what is bound to happen.Reality of what is bound to happen is love of God being imparted to man in everything both to friend and foe. Each one in every instant is made a winner by truth . Yes .Truth never fails .Truth makes each one a winner .Today because of existence of truth ,victory is surety for each one of us. Victory through truth is covenant and promise of God. John: 1. 10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. John: 1. 12. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

1 Corinthians: 13. 6. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Only vision through the eyes of truth can exhibit act of God's Love. For through eyes of ignorance, act or behavior of others appear as intolerable treachery. Which is tough to bear. Which appears as a worst character. Which makes us think, what integrity is there in this person.Why such injustice in midst of justice ! Best example is the disciples who deserted Jesus. Mathew 26:39-50 ,where each one in their turn ,deserts Jesus. But Jesus does not hate them.Instead looking through eyes of wisdom ,truth, light & prophecy .He declares in advance that all of you will desert me but this happens for scripture to come true. But after I am raised ,will walk ahead of you, where you will follow me. True to his word ,we know Jesus meeting his disciples and how he reveals the scripture to them, to open their eyes of understanding - Luke 24:44-45 and blesses them. Ignorance is visible only through eyes of truth.Only through eyes of truth ,hence it is possible to bear. Where as through eyes of ignorance, flesh body behaviour and character appears as reason to hate, distance, judge & condemn. Jesus washed with his blood and word as in John 17:17-20 .By taking the surety to look at us through eyes of truth only ! Which declares,Hebrews 10:5-17. No more judgment . Only hope about you and me. Through the eyes of truth you and me are made perfect eternally. Which sees you and me as NEW BORN BABIES . Which declares-- I see no reason to judge! How to realise our ignorance ? How to realise our own variation ? How to realise our own deception ? Look at how we look with anxiety, at our own TODAY ! What unexpectedness do we expect from situation as well as Others ! This is the diabolic contradiction with deception and truth.
If we boast of capacity to love others, devoid of truth each moment ,it is an impossible task .Deception of the mind will be the only result. Outcome will be only hypocrisy that makes Christianity ,a meaningless act that loses hope in OTHERS.
Christianity offers a means to have sure hope in others .Sure hope in others.Others are always seen in reality as a new borne child . Who will ever condemn a new born child ! John: 3. 3 - 7 . To be born again is a wow to look through vision of truth at Others . Its a conviction rather than decision based on our own discernment of how God sees me ever eternally ! !
As a CHILD. I TOO SEE OTHERS AS CHILD. Amen.

Luke: 23. 34. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Have you ever seen a new born tiny infant punished for anything ? Or even scolded for anything ? Or even held responsible for anything ? No.Never. Reason ! The tiny tot is innocent ! It does not know anything . Only helplessness and innocence is its only asset. It is incapable to respond back to anything. So is the vision about children of God when looked through the eyes of infinite eternal truth and its light - the word of God ,which is God himself. But when we look through our ignorance at Others we always see everything as wrongdoings done purposely by a mature person . This in turn creates negative attitudes ,rifts, opinions & divisive feelings within us. That too its everything seen as a result of a weak flesh which cannot do anything other than what's defined about it. Add to it ,the Deceiver the serpent too plays the beautiful havoc of adding fuel to the fire by aggravating the situation by blowing it out of proportion. God is love because He sees only truth and its light. Never outside His truth .He sees only by every act of His own promise and covenant. The eternal mercy, everlasting love and patience , hallmark of the truth remains unaltered. Often looking at others devoid of truth and its light is the deception that is ongoing within us right from the days of Adam . Even to Jesus this was applicable for which he himself said .I can do nothing by my own self .But do everything by truth .For which it has to be revealed to me. Its for this the same holy spirit the helper has been given to us so we too could look at Others as just born . Ignorant of the unimaginable everlasting light and truth ,the same that we too are.
John: 5. 30., 1 Corinthians: 13. 1- 13. Real love which is love of God is possible to be executed only if looked through eyes of TRUTH and LIGHT. This enables others the freedom to execute the will of God.Judging hating others becomes a thing of past.
Oh ! How can I find fault with a New born baby ! No .Never.
1 Peter: 2. 1- 9 , John: 21. 14-17. Revelation about one's own ignorance through eyes of truth and light gives the same vision about the ignorance of others .Which allows the unconditional space to others to live, act & execute the will of God with every freedom . Without prejudice . 1 Corinthians: 13. 6-7 . Its not bad behaviour that is tougher to endure but ignorance about truth !
For seeing with truth others each moment is the toughest act in one's life when one is living in flesh.Bearing the ignorance .
Everything is summed up only as ignorance of light or truth .

Romans: 8. 5. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Both truth as well as deception act upon ignorance of man. Truth reveals light ,while deception reveals more of darkness . Relying upon truth is the only solution towards victory, peace & salvation. Deception may find temporary victory or seemingly victory in the initial. But its like a cancer that drowns a person into darkness. Into darkness ,Into darkness. 1 Peter 5:7-8 . Like the python that winds around the prey with each gasp of breath . Resulting in suffocation ,leading to greater weakness . As a result the mind finally stumbles to a state of such mental block and standstill like taking hands off from the steering wheel of a car and driving the vehicle of life. The pity - Life of each person is a non stop journey that is never without a break travelling its course .Receiving truth endlessly leading to life and peace ! Receiving deception leads to death ( every form of fear, anger, hatred, jealousy, envy & frustration) . Distancing from very life. It can be narrated like a golden chain around the neck of a person that's having a dead rat that putrifies as each day passes by . Where we are unable to remove the chain as there is no other option ! Like held ransom.
Even if this is pitiful ,yet why this path is often received , while light vide truth is rejected ?
Answer . Ignorance !! thats what we are by default; finding it easier to accept deception rather than wisdom .Receiving wisdom needs a strain ,effort ,action, faith & courage . Receiving deception does not need none of above. Because deception needs ignorance as its foundation . Discerning ignorance on everyday basis is equal to a studious child versus a lazy child attending the same class ,same subject ,same period, same school & same teacher .One is careless to the core .The other is eager to take in more and more.
Question .Can the students ever have a state where they can live without this input ?
No. Never. As the next day arrives ,with it comes a greater challenge to face - A greater challenge to face. For life moves on for both students .The approaching challenge of examination and its victory or failure is like a personal clock pendulum from which one cannot escape. Struggling for truth adds more of peace ! Rejecting truth which is accepting deception adds to death .DEATH.
Truth reveals LOVE. Deception reveals HATE. Receiving truth always gives us an experience of love which is from God. Receiving deception gives us the experience of hatred . Discerning and experience of love is a requisite of life. Often we ignore this above fact .This can be summed up as ,God is love . Deceiver the enemy is death.
Proverbs: 1. 22. How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23. Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 24. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25. But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27. When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29. For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30. They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Warning of the ancient is priceless, a message to both teacher and taught. 1 Peter: 5. 5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
2 Corinthians: 11. 1. Only solution to ignorance :- Reject deception .Receive truth .Life never stops .It has to be faced .Either with hope or without it. End point of God - life .End point of serpent - death .
Life leads .Option is individual .Salvation is free .Today is the beginning.No one is late. For we are all equally ignorant about the end point.

Genesis: 3. 13. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Deceiving is the core of every darkness. The experience of deception results in anger, hatred ,jealousy, envy, feeling cheated etc.
All seperations happen under deception .In truth there is no darkness .There is only light. James 1:17
Truth is light because it is fullness of wisdom about eternal life.This perfectness of wisdom sees the fullness always .Seeing fullness removes every DARKNESS. Vision of fullness in the midst of darkness creates the perfect ambience of peace, love ,harmony ,kindness, mercy ,humility ,trust, oneness & forgiveness . Summing up the above .Hope about another eternity.Yes.
Christ through truth and its vision saw in you and me only a hope about the end result .Living with God with surety !Nothing can prevent it.Remove this hope .See the experience ! Relationship without hope is darkness. Relationship without eternal hope is eternal darkness. Then total meaning of relationship changes from joy to every reason of DECEPTION.
What is every reason of deception ?
Interaction devoid of will of God with both God or man is deception. 1 John 3: 5-16
Christ does not ever feel we deceived or cheated him.For he gives wisdom or light.He is always seeing us with light.The moment we start to see without light we feel the experience of deception that questions sincerity, integrity of others.
Where does this lead to ? Judging others. John 21:14-17,asking Peter to take care of sheep is the greatest expression of sincerity or trust Jesus had in Peter. Where as Jesus ,yet could have reacted in another way - You cheat what did you do when I was on cross .You are a cheat !!!!! But seeing in fullness of wisdom is seeing a Peter who is made perfect in midst of ignorance.Which declares, "Peter ,I judge you not.I don't see any reason to judge you.For in truth there is no lie.You are born in truth .So only the perfectness is what I see in you." Heb 12: 22-23, 1 John 2: 16-17 ,
The deception of devil was to remove eternal hope . Gen 3: 1-13.

Matthew: 26. 53. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? 54. But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
Truth is word of God. Truth is truth because thats what is fullfilled. Being born of word means fulfilling of word , like the case with Jesus. Prophecy becoming true is therefore within our own selves as we are born of word and truth .Today becomes the prophecy of God getting fullfilled through you or me .Therefore what is to be expected today ? Revelation of truth of God . Take the particular life of Jesus . Each day was punctuated with revelation of truth ..Even when Judas came Jesus looked at it only as revelation of truth .Even when Peter disowned Jesus it was revelation of truth . When others are able to accept Jesus as Christ and saviour it is revelation of truth . When others are able to directly interact with holy spirit it is revelation of truth ie.., the scripture coming true. The execution of great commission is finally others directly interacting with the holy spirit. This is direct interaction with God and truth .This is direct experience of love of God.This is direct experience of faith and trust in God. Where holy spirit directly leads & no external source required . Just like for a child to interact with its father ,no agent is required .
How ? In truth there is no sin .! In truth there is no sin.! When a person is born again he is born in word. In word there is no sin.
In word there is only gaining wisdom in midst of ignorance.Where what ever gained is truth ,that sets one free! Never to be judged.Truth does not judge, instead releases freedom to execute will of God. Law judges, resulting in fear or doubt to execute will of God. See ,even Moses feared ! Even the children of Israel said to Moses, you hear and tell us ! The freedom to unquestionably execute the will of God devoid of every captivating thought that holds us down today is FREEDOM.Most often the sin or its sting is what holds us slave ,creating doubt in mind .Am I competent ? Am I eligible ?
Answer : Eligibility is created by righteousness of God through redemption by blood of Jesus once for all.No more under law. Heb 12:18-24, Rom 4:13-15 , John 12 : 32-36 , Gal 4 : 1-7, Rom 8: 14- 17
Matthew: 28. 19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Ministry of new covenant is the great commission.It is the prophecy in you and me.In which Others are made victorious in Christ .
Allow them the freedom to execute the will of God in their lives with total freedom without any obligation .Amen.
1 John: 3. 4. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
There is no sin in truth.There is sin in devil.Because he is deceiver of lies! Never truth .
Genesis: 3. 3-8, Truth attachs a person to God. Lies or deception detaches a person from God. So is judgement.!Truth sets you free!

Hebrews: 10. 7. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Doing the will of God by God is exactly what Jesus Christ himself executed. The only difference is, he did it after becoming a man like you and me .
Even though God took to the form of man. Now we are made children of God. The will of God is placed upon us too ,with exactly equal importance that God had placed upon Jesus Christ.This must be clearly understood in a different perspective.
The scripture should come true through each one of our lives at any cost . Just like we saw the scripture coming true in the life of Jesus . For otherwise there is no meaning to God himself. This is why as in Luke 24:44-45 Jesus opened the minds understanding to explain all the prophecy that were previously predestined about Jesus. Likewise all prophecy that are to be fullfilled is not more about the visible signs of the world or what will happen to world.Instead it is more focused specifically about each one of us individually.For being born by word means t,he very word itself becoming what ever the will of God is . The very word exhibiting that which it intends to establish . Isaiah 55:10-11.Make no mistake about this .It is not obeying the law equal to doing will of God. Obeying law is one thing while doing the will of God is distinctly another thing. Doing the will of God is God executing everything He predestined to reveal his glory by himself . This has no relationship with any thoughts, plans, assumption ,imaginations that we can ever ever ever think. 1 Cor.2:4-15 is a total explanation of this fact . What the eye has not seen ,what the ears has not heard or what anyone has thought.Totally its God revealing his objectivity about his word that exhibit light as light .Ephasians 5:8. The great commission is not ever a law but the greatest expression of word getting fulfilled because you and me are born of word .! The greatest merit is --Gone is doubt which can hold me down from doing the will of God.
Answer : Will of God is word fulfilling its own intentions with power of God alone. It does not need any assistance from any earthly form at all. Jesus did not need any help from earth to execute the will of God. It was totally devoid of any assistance from earth. God does not need any help to execute his will from any one or anything .Its totally everything by himself through himself .
So no force in any manner can stop us from executing the will of God.Neither can death or fear ever defeat .Ever defeat .Ever defeat .Never connect law to will of God. For the word is sinless by itself. So there is no law in perfectness of the word of God.
Law is in force only for its breakers. God or his word being truth never ever breaks the law because it is the TRUTH.
Hebrews: 10. 4-10

James: 1. 18. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures..
If we like someone due to any reason, we naturally try to help them.But attached to it there is some condition of expectancy.
If those expected conditions of expectancy is not exhibited then the relationship is broken. We can help others with or without expectancy . We can help someone selflessly in which case the behaviour of the second person does not matter to me .Also my behaviour to the second person remains unchanged . For my goal is only the desire of end result which is my own.
This is the case with God.
John 1:1-4 Word is God.Word is truth .Execution of truth as promise and covenant is a desire of God to His own self .
But He out of His own will BEGET US with His own word . So that we become first fruits.When He looks at us He sees His own word !He sees Himself in Us.He does not see us as another person .What ever He does through His word and its result which is always glorious, he sees it as goodness for Himself .James 1:17 .Behaviour towards us is not based on our behaviour but based on His own LOVE ,to His own word and its result.For there is nothing more glorious than His word to Him.He cannot find any reason to hate His own word.His word does not contain sin in itself , contrary to Satan . In the case of Satan, sin is within himself.
Therefore every prophecy promise or covenant is a result that thrills God so much that,its end result is finally glory that comes back to him .It is this glory He wanted to share .It is this glory that he created in us as His own image . Gen.1:26-27
It is this through which we too are Begat as his own children through His word .It is this very same reason Jesus was send so we regain what is lost through rebirth spiritually.It is this very same reason Jesus was excited and the holy spirit was send upon us ,so that we too always experience the result of sharing His glory . Romans 8:14-17.Where our own personal works in no way matter to result of glory .Only what matters is the word executing its predestined course . The advantage is each moment we are recipient to His unconditional desire of His own word .There is no two entity between God and ourselves. He sees his own word in us .If this is clearly discerned ,then comes the question ,can anything defeat me ever ?
For I and word is same, not two different in any manner . When law was there it was two different cases .The recipient of law had to obey the law to receive its blessings.But when we became the word itself , work of the word is the cause of blessings we all receive .John 5:19-20,Titus 3:5-7,ROM.8:29-32, Mat 26: 54, 1 John 3: 8-9 Born of God is born of wrod. Born of word is born of promise & covenant. Which sums up as God's mercy, kindness & eternal life.

John: 17. 17. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
Truth and Oneself.
Each one of us is being born again as Word of God. James 1:18.This results in reason for God to hope in us as much as He loves His truth , His word. Luke 24:44-51.He opened their eyes of understanding by revealing what ever was prophesied .
All prophecy is execution of word .Execution of word is also God's promise.Romans 4:19-20. Each one of us is a direct execution of God's promise out of His desire about His own truth Which is His own word. Only this has to be revealed to us through His holy spirit.Because of this great phenomenon God never has reason to lose hope in mankind . He saved us through His word which is Jesus Christ himself. This is the reason why God interacts with us with an eternal love inspite of our changing attitudes, a million times . He interacts with us with His predestined behaviour .Even when we were product of His anger . Rom 5:5--10
John: 19. 30. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. Prophecy about you and me gets fulfilled in completion of the will of God upon our lives. Like that of Jesus Christ.
This is a revelation by the holy spirit.The execution of will of God upon our lives also calls for completion of will of God .
For without completion the very objectivity looses purpose. Rom 8:14-21, Deu 7:6- 9

Rom12:2. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Why real transformation is so eagerly looked at, by Heaven ? Its the predestined best in you . Its the life that brings out the best in you ,which is executing the will of God in you through which not only you ,but the whole mankind is blessed through you.
Which is real victory that each one of us should desire .Its best in you being assisted by holy spirit, not to take care of your limited interest of current nature but submitting to the Lord like Moses, like Jesus, like Apostles so that the servant leadership in you is brought out to its best . This is the best guarantee of success in any generation ,without doubt .As its the promise of God . This is proved from Abel onwards in bible up to John in revelation . Its best in you which brings out with surety,the best in others ! Look at the prophets individually ! Each one of them when submitted to God became such an anointed vessel of God ,filled by holy spirit that the whole society is blessed .The whole book of judges ,further reveals the negative result of not being transformed or the inability to bring the best in you. Its not only a wasted ,unsure life like a line drawn in water but also the greatest disaster to the society and generation . Each generation became successful when a person was raised up.
One Abraham ! The result of transformation became the greatest source of blessing .Gal 3:12-13 .YOU are predestined not only for blessing of God but a whole society and generation to be blessed through you ,till your last breath .Even the death or last breath of a transformed person is a source of great blessing & investment .This history of bible is witness.Deut 34:5-7 Moses .Stephen the apostle became a source of blessing for Paul. A Paul who was transformed to be the blessing to all gentiles . Yes transformation brings out the servant leader in oneself which is assisted, filled ,empowered by holy spirit to bring out the best in you ,that the limitation of weak flesh can never ever ever achieve . Josh 1: 1-10, Ex 3: 9-18, Judge1: 1-36, Judges 2: 1-23, Acts 22: 6-21, Gal 3: 14. The greatest possibility of God, is His ability to transform each one of us to bring out His Best in Us where by He reigns His glory, shines through our Life, hence the society and generation is blessed with surety. Genesis 45:5-6. Even though we may not see it , that's God's truth . Apostle Stephen did not see it but God's truth was exhibited by the world receiving a Paul. We all add so many external additives like branded Sunglasses ,watches ,car ,clothes etc etc . Why ? to make ourselves stand out . Remove these, does it make sense ? The reality of those were vain glories of those artifacts .It never ever became a part of us .But a transformed life in God, exhibits his glory through individuals becoming a part of His GLORY! Rom8:17, Luke12: 18-48

Philemon: 1. 11. Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
I asked a couple of people the following question .
From the day of your marriage up to today what is the sum and substance of what is talked ? What was the nature of talk ?
Did it have any specific objectivity ? Etc ! The answer was surprising . Many replied they don't remember what is talked .
Much was about fights in between related to opinion differences about anything under the sun . A few said something would be there , but end of it would be a disastrous negative talk that created more rift than understanding . I told them, they were reading my mind too ,when they said these statements . But they asked me, why I was eager to know .The same was asked to others ,whose interaction was with people who were socially related like brother, sister ,classmate, colleague etc . They too replied similarly to the couple experience.They too asked ,why I am eager to know. A common reply was given to both.
Lets suppose we send a child to school. At end of an academic year, if the same question is put forward what will be the reply ! The answer came immediately.The teachers of various subjects taught, talked, revealed portions of syllabus in specific manner such that the text book for each subject that was predestined ,ascertained for that year was taught . So what was the result .
Year after year it added, to an increase of wisdom academically ! End result ! A transformed child who is capable to execute a professional life . Possibilities can be divided into two aspects . One is finding solutions to situations that are faced .
Which is required and is most common too. Nothing wrong about it . But a second possibility is there ,which is most important but sad to say often ignored left unaddressed .Which is individual transformation . Like the child in school who was an ordinary person became a competent professional personality , equipped to achieve, execute & succeed .Paul interacted with Onesimus, the result was a transformed personality ,equipped to succeed in life both for himself as well as for society .Jesus interacted with us through the holy spirit to transform each one of us to such high calibre .We are to interact with others to such a level, that there is a transformation to be achieved in individual . The benefit .Life will change from zero to hero . Each transformation has a specific target . The greatest possibility in this short life ,that helps the other to achieve LIFE in all its beauty. Eph 5: 17- 32, Rom 12:2-12. May be, we did not have nothing specific to speak . But really there is something to be revealed each day to such level of possibility that the other becomes a transformed personality, equipped to personally succeed both in terms of spiritual life as well as worldly life . For this the holy spirit has been send upon us .Let us therefore humble ourselves like Moses .Num 12:6-7. For a God of promise and covenant ,there are great levels of blessings to be achieved collectively by possibility of transformation.! Philemon1:10-13 .The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Hebrews: 10. 17. And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 19. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21. And having an high priest over the house of God; 22. Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
The possibility through revelation by holy spirit is fullfilled by promises of God made whole by the blood sacrifice of Jesus .
But the wrong attitude about sin is the greatest deterrent to possibility . This wrong attitude about sin simply creates prejudiced mind & every reason to blame .Every reason to blame .Every reason to blame .Look at the case of the man, born blind!
How Jesus healed him .What was the attitude of the crowd with respect to sin which led to an impasse of impossibility for such a long period of time ! To such an extend that he had to live as a beggar ! Even wrong attitude of sin stopped Peter from interacting with the gentiles .Simply possibility becomes impossibility through fear and blame .The possibility to forgive one another .The possibility to show mercy .The possibility to show kindness .The possibility to declare the word of truth and faith like Jesus ! To everyone every second ! This is prohibited by wrong attitude on aspect of sin .To every instant of interaction if analysed ,a negative statement is attached ,creating a doubt or lie ! Little do we realise , that a life of eternity to sinner, is what God offerred through Christ opening a whole world of possibilities in midst of Every impossibility ! John 8:11, John 9:1-8, 16, Acts10:28-35, John5:8- 9. Don't try to live LIFE hating possibilities ,with a God who promised salvation, eternal life with his covenant, promise about which he himself is the executer ! Rom 4:19-25
[24/07 05:30] JohnyChayan: Romans: 4. 19- 25. You, Me ,Others are a haystack of possibilities all predestined to exhibit the glory of God ! ROM.8:17, If anyone love possibilities that equate with glory of God ,its done only with assistance of holy spirit .Acts 1:8 ,Mark 1:17-18 catching men ! Eph 2:10-14, Mark 2: 3. Seeing possibilities through faith is only through eyes of cleansed state of the other through blood of Jesus .John 6: 1-13

Genesis: 1. 26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Possibility is reigning over everything in perfect harmony and co existence in a peaceful manner as per will of God.In one word ,he found everything Good. Every creation that was envisaged was found good. A result of revelation, vision, faith that resulted in possibilities beyond words . Which was when God said ,let it be day ,etc... Through his word .With advent of Satan and his deception ,what happened to possibilities of mankind ? Gen 3:12-13 .They started with impossibilities -
Blaming everything ,Blaming each other,Blaming situation ,Blaming even themselves ,Blaming even God!
Stop reason to blame ! This sets reason to START POSSIBILITIES .The attitude of possibilities sets in .The desire of possibilities sets in .The thirst for possibilities wells up ! Jesus could, if needed adopt the blame game for everything . Starting with God the father .God's will upon him, the only possibility in midst of all impossibilities .Mathew 16:21.The possibility resulted from revelation ,vision & faith ! No were an instance of blaming ! Eph 2:1-7/14-17. The will of God is eternal list of unending possibilities predestined for mankind by an eternally loving father .If you believe you will see Glory of God. John 11:40
Revelation Vision Faith . My righteous shall live by faith ! Yes .Faith comes by hearing ! Hearing comes through revelation .
Rom10:14-17 . For possibilities the revealer is purposed by God. John 14:25-27 .Truth is revelation of holy spirit that results in vision and faith .Look at Moses ! Look at Joshua ! Their whole life was an endless exhibition of possibilities in midst of impossibilities . How! No more blaming . No more reason to blame .Stop blaming . STOP blaming . God is supreme over everything ,with His truth that never ever changes . Mal3:6 , Lam 3:37 ,Acts 10:37-38 . Anointed with holyspirit and power to live with endless possibilities eternally ! Even death offers no more reason of impossibility but possibility . Eze 33:5-8
Even the law was given not to create curse but to reveal God's mercy , to open man's inner mind to reveal that he was dead in spirit .He should come to LIFE. Live in life of newness ! Unimaginable possibilities in midst of impossibility. But look at the person in John 5:1-8. The man who lived with BLAME ! He did not realise it for 38 years ! Even today this person is living through each one of us ! Holy spirit the helper has come upon us , blaming anything is a thing of past ! Rev3:20
Duty is to only listen with a humble start . Stop blaming . Open the mind ! Welcome to a life with wonderful holy spirit
World of revelation ,vision & Faith! That invites even Judas .Mat 26:50 with greatest possibility ! Like it is said, in the business of Goats nothing is a waste ! Hide, excreta ,urine ,milk ,waste ,leg ,tongue everything - but to whom ! To the one who sees .
Who wants to see .Who accepts there is something to be seen .Who is humble to the holy spirit to accept like his servant
1 Sam3:6-7. Speak lord - your servant is listening ! Anointed ,filled ,raised to life only for a life of good deeds ! Who converts everything for good ! He who started the good works ,shall complete it unto end of Christ . Stop blaming ! It is the trick of Satan ! Start a life of Revelation. Jer 17: 7- 9,Rom8: 28-39, Eze 33:5-9,Rom 11:29,32. John8:1

Ephesians: 1. 18. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Revelation in the mind results in vision of the inner mind which result in faith of the inner mind which adds up to life in truth .
Revelation ,vision, faith leads to possibility ! Ignorance ,blindness, doubt leads to impossibility. God's will is always possibility.
John 1:1-4. The word was God. If we desire possibility, then crave for revelation, vision, faith in each moment ! If we desire impossibility then crave for our own wisdom ,doubt and inaction .The possibility to each instant is the will of God for each saint, which in other words is the hope of calling of you and me ! This hope of calling is revealed only by holy spirit.Heb 10:17.This revelation always allows one to speak out loud with faith !.
Ques. Are we able to speak out loud with respect to each moment, the interpretation of situation in faith ! Evaluation of this factor ,discerns whether we are living in lie or truth or whether we are living in possibility or impossibility. This is why ,for God everything is possible .The word ,the truth originates first in his mind ! The same needs to happen ,with each child of God. 1 Cor 2: 9-14. Revelation by holy spirit is possibility in every situation . This point is being de-emphasized because ,often if our thoughts are evaluated ,it is bombarded by a thousand questions, doubts, assumptions ,imaginations resulting in
Impossibility .For Jesus nothing was impossible, for he chose to live by revelation .Do we desire revelation ?
John12:26-32. Even death could not have power to hold Jesus because of this living in truth ,making everything possible .
Mathew 16:21.Revelation ,vision, faith ,attitude & action . Revelation and its vision is what flows out of the mind !Revelation never never ever doubts . Phil 4:10-13. Paul describes the reason of possibility !I can do all things by faith .I can do nothing by doubt .He submits to the holy spirit for revelation and calling . No more impossibility only possibility .But its revelation, vision & faith . Without revelation there is no vision, hence no faith, which is doubt .If we desire possibility ,then love revelation .Who will love revelation like Jesus ?Who will love revelation like Moses ? Those who like their hope of calling by God ! Eph 1: 17-19. Pride in own self is the greatest deterrent to possibility. Humbleness is greatest asset to possibility .One submits to will of God ,the other rejects the will of God.Result --Hosea 4:6-7 .Revelation, hope of calling, possibility in midst of impossibility .Assistance by holy spirit.Living in truth .Flowing of life giving water ! John 7:38, Eph1:17-18/John 7:38/ Phil 4:10-14. What's real need to POSSIBILITY ! Glory of eternal life! ! ! John11:21- 26

Luke: 12. 11. And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: 12. For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
Often anxiety or impossible situation is a result of not knowing what to do ! But not knowing what to speak or say or answer forms a great need or necessity in life of a child of God . Reason - Child of God is to always be the servant leader .He bears the brunt of the situation . Its not his opinion or assumption or imagination or likes or dislikes or fear or anything that matters !
Its what God has willed in the situation that matters the most .Reason - Glory of God to be revealed .Eg...John 11:1-40,
where Lazrus is sick and finally dies . Jesus goes to the tomb after three days . Raises the dead .The statements Jesus made were not just his own or by his own .Instead was instructed by the holy spirit . John11:8-44, John5:28-30,John: 5. 20, John17:8. Witness to will of God is exhibition of God's will prior to exhibiting His glory . This is revealed by holy spirit and uttered in faith by child of God. Isaiah55: 11, 1 Sam16:1- 12. Speak lord ! Your SERVANT is LISTENING. Num12: 7-8.
Submitting oneself to will of God is listening , hearing ,experiencing the power of the holy spirit. Revelation of God's will in mind is thought manifested in mind, the inner world which is responsible for the outside world to be created . Mark11: 23-24. ,Rom10:14- 17

John: 17. 16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
They are not of the world just like I am not of the world. This is the reason why a different truth is what's applicable for Jesus and children of God. This truth is eternal life .This eternal life has its own nature .Always love, always hope, always courage always faith ,always WILL OF GOD. Always promise of God. Always covenant of God. But this is revelation through holy spirit .This Revelation has to be discerned concerning each situation or interaction . For each moment of life is an execution of will of God to reveal His Glory. If so, is there ever a reason to run away from any situation ? Escape from any situation ?
Change any situation ? Lam 3:37 .Living in lie ,believing in lie makes us escape, run away, hate situation, fear situation & avoid people have nothing to do with others ! When do we have nothing to do with others ? When do we really say IMPOSSIBLE ? The point where our wisdom ceases, we say impossible. We have a concept of saying impossible to situations .But what we are not aware, is that we are accepting impossibility in mind both about ourselves as well as others ! Judging both ourselves as well as others .This is constant state of living in lie . Constant state of living in hiding behind the bush .
Constant state of hiddenness, even from God .Gen 3:6-9 . Adam and Eve were hiding individually behind the bush .Living, judging each other . Under influence of Satan .Under influence of lie.Hiding in their own Mind.It was not hiding behind the bush alone . Rev3:20 .Closed mind prohibits possibility . Closed mind is saying NO to holy spirit .Closed mind is saying no to truth . Gen3: 7-13, Rev3: 20. Prayer becomes a vanity with a closed mind .Prayer becomes wasted effort under life of lie.
Prayer more than asking ,is Listening to God, to His purpose at this moment . 1 Sam 3:10-11. Prayer is submission to God with open mind ,to listen ,so His will can be done TODAY.Servant leader has no priority than masters will. Heb10:7- 9.

Romans: 10. 17. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Hearing the word of God in every situation is the most important aspect to victory .
But absence of the word of God to each situation is the growing phenomena of the world system .Result -- Living not with truth but living with lie. Living with lie leads to death in every manner. John 17:7-8 . Jesus always was a living source of the audio bible to each situation & interaction even when Judas came . Mathew 26:50. Our life too is an exhibition of an audio chatterbox . Just like our human body is a continuous exhibition of air being breathed in and out ,its also a chatter box of an audio system . Lest what is the chatter all about ? Was it exhaling the truth or interpretation of a situation as lie that others heard from us ? John 7: 37-39.

Revelation: 3. 21. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Overcoming temptation by the devil was what Jesus too had to face .Luke 4:1-12.Each of the lie that the devil could plant in front of Jesus at the end of forty days of fasting in the wilderness was overcome . He discerned the lie by the power of the holy spirit .Likewise we too have to overcome the temptation by power of the holyspirit .Eph 6:12-17 .Discerning the lie is possible only by the assistance of the holy spirit . Look at what happened to Peter in Mat16:23 while he tells Jesus ,Ho Jesus nothing like this should befall you , so don't you go to Jerusalem! And Jesus bluntly tells him ,you are thinking is of man not of God. Often we too are held slave to manly thoughts in situations .1 John 2:15-16 .The will of God in a situation is ignored and we end up doing things that are passing away .! Finally the little precious life is over.Look at life of Moses !Deu34:5-7
My Servant Moses died according to word of God . Being humble is the core reason .Being a servant, to serve both God and man is the reason .Jesus took form of a man, he humbled himself .So full of holy spirit and power being assisted by holyspirit .
Yes! We all desire victory .But victory is achieved only by executing will of God in God's way !Isaiah 55:8 .My thoughts my way .Not your thoughts ,your way . Both differ with extremities of heaven and earth.Discerning a lie is most important parameter . In each moment ,deception by a lie is what each one of us is bombarded with .The fiery dart of the devil ,the burning arrow .Passion to the nature of flesh is so enslaving .Fear ,anger, hate ,doubt, suspicion etc are so pleasing even though we desire to resist.The hope about life .The hope about ourselves ,about others often seems shattered under influence of a LIE. The execution of will of God is done in the current moment which is giving the best of oneself submitting to Lord, which is submitting to truth .Which is not submitting to lie .What value do we have if the will of God and its execution is removed from our lives ? 1 Cor 3:1-20. ,Rev22:11-15. Choosing to live a life submitted to lie ! Or living a life submitted to truth !
Option is to oneself ! Rom 8:5.-8, Luke12:18-21, Heb 3:13.Thoughts decisions afflicting the mind in current moment carnally is the greatest lie .1 Kings19: 13-14. Fearing, hating, undervaluing one's own life & purpose lost .No objectivity with fullness of life is living under lie !

Numbers: 14. 1. And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 2. And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! 3. And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? 4. And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. 5. Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
The power of lie .When a lie is believed or accepted it becomes as powerful as faith .Faith results in action .This living in lie was not just a fact for the children of Israel but also for us too. Hebrews 4:1-2 .How to discern wether we are living in a state of lie ? Ninety percent of all thoughts that occupy our carnal mind is lies, that are in gross violation of God's truth which are termed as ,own wisdom according to bible.We are just not aware of it . The result of it , is the only litmus to prove it. Lie results in death feelings to mind . Prov3: 6- 7. ,Rom8: 5- 8, Eph 6:12-17, Jer9 :23-24 .The children of Israel cried all night !
Living in lie took their minds to such dark levels that they revolted not only to God and Moses, but their own selves .
Which they did not realise. Often living in lie creates such an experience ,that the mind becomes corrupted or debased ,confused . It loses the hope of salvation that was essence of truth . Prov 4: 20-23, Mat16: 23. Peter did not know he was living in lie

1 John: 3. 15. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 16. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Servant leader relationship towards true love and lie.True love is not a lie.True love exhibits eternal life that does not end .
Only living a life in the newness can exhibit true love .Life in flesh is weak in exhibiting true love as its limited with weakness of flesh as well as nature of flesh.Servant leader relationship is associated with true love that Jesus exhibited to exhibit eternal life .
In eternal life there is no lie in relationship. Lie in relationship is a great reality to be discerned .The lie in relationship is the whole fullness of Satan the wicked one,John 10:9-11. Under the influence of Satan what's exhibited is a life of lie or a mask of lie ,that pretends love but intention is a serious lie .Only to cheat & destroy as the end of Satan's life too which is not life but death . How can death exhibit life ? No .Never. Christ came to undo Satan's wicked lie.Satan's deception is love with lie ,as its only objective.1 John3:8- 9, John10: 8-13. Love without lie, proves its end with truth and eternal life. Love with lie proves its end with death, destruction& deception . Both are work from the spiritual realm .Either through holy spirit or through evil spirit . The love which was a lie is what tempted Adam and Eve . The love without a lie is what Jesus Christ has exhibited from God through manifestation of truth with help of holy spirit .Servant leader relationship is one of love with truth ,not love with lie .
Ques.Objectivity of relationship is to end in life or death or none of above , like in ..just a passing show ?
1 John 2:15-16 , Gen 3: 1-14 . Love with lie is devoid of empathy. Empathy is sincere concern about eternal life for others.
Satan does not concern with empathy, instead hides in a mask of hypocrisy that's centered around himself . He associates only to serve his purpose . Others do not have any part in his purpose at all .For his purpose ends in death . How much are we concerned about others ? Is it really love with truth or is it love with lie ? Eze33: 1-9. Love with truth saves ! Love with lie is not concerned about salvation of soul.

2 Peter: 3. 8. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
It is true sin becomes most visible not in oneself but in others be it the smallest instant. It is also true when this is perceived our reaction to it ,is JUDGEMENT ,CONDEMNATION etc.A servant leader has to fight with himself against this judging as well as condemning others, if not he will have time only for that .His ministry will end instantly even before it started .The best attitude is to look at sin in others with following courage . A fever as we know even if treated or left untreated will last for a week and then it passes away.So when we see fever, our attitude towards fever is that, its something that's to pass away . Similarly if a child fails in a weekly class test we look at it mildly ,but if its annual examination, we look at it differently ! Why some sickness or some failure is seen as mild while some others are seen as too important ? That which is seen as important is addressed that way because we think, its a permanent change towards this current state ,which cannot be ever changed to better. If we have a better wisdom about the impossible situation, immediately our approach to it changes, our reaction to it also changes .Likewise sin is not an impossible state but to be seen as a passing state .For Jesus said I came not to judge but to save !
So sin is not an impossible state in front of Jesus, instead righteousness is the permanent state thats going to last .
John 12:47 .That's why in Luke 24:44-47 ,its said to preach repentance ! If the conviction about sin in others is seen as an impossible state, then with first interaction itself, its end to everything .The ministry of new testament differs from that of old in this manner . 2 Cor 3:5-7 ,John 10:10,2 Cor 8:9, Col 3:12-13 .The blood of Jesus Christ has washed the sin, made others clean .Rev 5:9,Hebrews 10:5-17. I will not remember their sins any more when viewed through the eternal sacrifice of Jesus .
This spiritual growth enables a servant leader to find reason to forgive, to show kindness ,mercy and love which is increase in hope for others ,uplifting of others ,encouragement for others .Which adds up to new light to light up others,as well as SELF.
Growing in confidence .Growing in surety about others ,which is salvation and eternal hope which Jesus Christ offered as truth .Mat 7: 1- 5. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.,
2 Timothy 3:2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
How to be successful with such people.
1. Demand little. Expect little.
2. Be willing to listen a lot and listen a lot.
3. Find ways to provide positive recognition frequently. ( What they want )
4. Don’t worry about seeing them become more self-centered. (They need help. But are reluctant)
5. AVOID challenging their wishes desires for they have low tolerance for frustration or interference.
6. Admire Acknowledge, Recognize, and Accept, Praise their achievements or endeavor.
7. The above makes you successful while others will give up.
8. Be Precise in what you want.
9. Know what they want.
10. Persuade them that they will get something significant from doing what YOU want.

2 Corinthians: 6. 3. Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 4. But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 5. In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 6. By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 7. By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8. By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; 9. As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 10. As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
Grooming to be a minister of God is grooming to be a minister to mankind in everything every situation of every kind or nature .In everything ,learning to accept it without question for the master is surely exhibiting His glory in everything .Being servant leader is subjecting oneself to become competent to services that are unimaginable, totally unacceptable to human way of thinking reasoning. 1 Samuel3:10- 11. The rule of the game is Speak Lord !Your servant is listening.Submitted to listen act ,listen act ,Listen act .For its God's will according to God's way. 1 Sam16:1-13. Attitude to view everything in God's way is rule for servant of God, is a hired servant. Luke1: 17-19. The prodigal son realises the great position his father's hired servants ,while he had the position of Son.For the hired servants are accountable to the will of his father as well as the way of his father .Isaiah 55:8 . They are submitted to execute everything not according to their way but God's way - as instructed .Reward is always from God. Luke1:38 . Submitting to instruction of the Lord is allowing God's plan to be upon oneself like the water of the river that flows with such calmness and peace ,irrespective of each moment or each place or each time, it is to become to be used in many ways! Fishes use it to survive.Plants use it to grow .Animals- to satisfy thirst, to cool the heat, to clean itself
Man uses it for a thousand purpose, even for bad purposes .Servant of God is put to use at times ,allowed to be unjustly exploited with no mercy ,so that mercy of God is revealed to recipients of mercy.Ephs2: 7- 8,Rom 8: 32-39.Servant of God is servant of man .Humble to instruction and will of Lord

Mark: 10. 43. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 44. And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 45. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mark 10:43-45 . Servant leader . Being humble is the greatest capability required to be a servant of the Master. Which is living a submitted life to Master.Accepting Lordship of the Master .A born again child of God accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour .
Romans 10:8-9 .At the same time ,its equally important to discern, the servantship to Jesus Christ is equal to serving the cause of Jesus Christ which is serving as his witness .Luke 24:44-50 and 1 John 5:11which amounts to serving mankind as a whole .
Rev 5:9-10 .Eph 3:3-8. Paul said I became an apostle to gentiles by grace and anointed, predestined for this to exhibit the ministry of new testament.2 Cor 3:5-7. Servant leader is a growth phenomenon. In any growth phenomenon, there is always a grooming up process ,which is a trying phase which can be of varied period of time .Which can be revelation of various spiritual truths by Holy spirit .Which can be experiencing, discerning own self both in spirit as well as in flesh . Which gives the true grip to grasp not only oneself but the ability to understand the weakness of ownself & the varying state of our own success and failure . Making of Peter is the best example .Understanding his own failure .Understanding the failure, to obey both willfully as well as out of ignorance. Knowing defeat of spiritual warfare in one own self . Defeat of spirit by flesh in many occasions .Faith getting tossed beyond imagination .Learning to really come into grip with taking the armour of God on a regular basis, so that the evil day's slaughter can be accepted not only in oneself but also in others. Always the desire to be a recipient to receive instruction rather than to give from ones own reasoning.Which is my way Or His way.Total surrender to his way.For Isaiah 55:8-9 says,God has his will upon us .At the same time God has his own way to execute his will.Will and way of god is one thing .Trying to execute will of God MY WAY is totally another.Trying to unknowingly execute will of God my way is the common cause of failed servantship of God.Take the case of every saint, this is a common experience.This my way and its failure is an experience that needs to be personally realised and to become victorious in the same .This my way is creating plan ,options, selections, elections ,opinions ,ideas all according to my wisdom ,strength, money etc. Jeremiah 9:23-24 .Moses ,David, Elijah ,Peter are all examples of failed servantship who learned to battle defeat in this sphere . Only then ,one can really become a servant leader to serve.Humble to serve man.Humble to tolerate the weakness in Others .
John 21:14-17, John13: 1-28, Deut 34:5-12. Being humble in a life time to serve both God and man is visible only at its end .Where end of life reveals, the servant of God's greatest achievement to both God and man ! Exhibition of God's glory ., Joshua1: 1-2. Will of God coupled with way of God is brought to its glorious completion and perfect achievement by the completion of the last predestined day allocated . John: 19. 30,Rev14: 13-16. Entering a rest with sure hope of victory that lasts and travel with oneself all the way to eternity.

2 Corinthians: 10. 3. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; 5. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Weapons of war are not in flesh. The weapons of war are in spiritual nature . For the war is spiritual in nature .The greatest issue at hand ,is discerning there is a spiritual warfare that's on going unceasingly. Realising & being convinced of this ,only makes us desire for gathering these weapons. How does this benefit ? The priority of a child of God shifts ,from OWN WAY to GODS WAY, the moment being born again. God's way pertains to progressing in being witness to Jesus, Luke 24:46-49 as well as exhibiting the eternal life .1 John 5:10-11 by one's own life. This shift in priority from my way to God's way calls for total surrender to God's way by personal self. This surrender of personal self has to be on a committed nature that can be of permanent nature.
If it is varying in nature like, if i am committing only for next day ,week or month , then I cannot be used for God's way .
The life of an evangelist calls for this . This is what led by holy spirit is and happens . The evil spirit or wicked forces resist this .
How ? The pride of life that's really enslaving a person currently ,is what's utilized by wicked forces to deceive ,to entice, to blackmail. Once a child of God delays the will of God ,at that point onwards ,its my way that's first priority .From this moment ,fear, anxiety ,anger ,hatred etc starts one after another . Finally loosing hope in everything like Jonah.Like Elijah who even desired death;the confusion that prevailed was so much .This is the warfare that one must discern.Its the pride of life that's used by the devil to distract our attention, finally drags us to a solitary self which is total darkness . Which is nothing ,but all nature of flesh capturing the mind. The best example of this state is the story of the prodigal son . One after another he goes on scheming his own plans to make his way succeed but to no avail. Just one question .What was he trying to achieve ? In my way principle ! Actually nothing .
For each day he is bombarded with new situations which he is has to tackle . Its here he comes to one real conclusion .What's really my problem ! One single problem ,that's the mother of all distractions . My way, my plan, my scheme .This is 1 john 2:15-16 .The moment ,he discerns this parameter, submits himself to will of his father, he is at peace .From that moment his life takes a different course .Being humble is submitting to will of God. Moses , humble , submitted to God . Numbers 12: 3,7-8
So God could lead him,to use him not one day not one week not one month but rest of his life.
Phil 2:6-11 Jesus became humble in flesh as man, so he could execute God's will in God's way.Executing will of God in God's way is different from executing God's will in my way or our way.Isaiah 55:8-9 .Often executing God's will our way, fails short of victory .Life becomes wasted . We notice the word ,"servant of God and man " used for both Jesus and Moses .Its the same with apostles .Josh1:1- 2, Luke15: 17-19. The prodigal son too realised the servantship of the people residing in his father's house to which he too adapts it to himself. Ephs 6:13,2 Cor 4: 1- 7.Servant to serve a mighty God ,with a mighty will that's sure always to win ,to succeed permanently.

Ephesians: 6. 13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.Withstanding the evil day !
This is a reality which you and me will need to address .This is just because of the fact that,there is the enemy at work . Satan.
His objectivity is to destroy .This is because of Rev 12:12-13. About which the last two three days ,the holy spirit has been revealing .The evil days are like a situation ,where we are at the centre of a circle and trying to proceed in any direction, all around the 360 degrees , yet we would not see a solution .A seemingly dead stop .This may be so much alarming because of the fact that ,one is left all alone, alienated from even the best & most trusted friend who has ditched you or helped you .The main source of hope seems helpless cut off!. What really happens ? All our plans & hopes humanly possible seems futile ! What's the result ? Its hope actually getting lost . Leading to precious faith . Hebrews 2:14-15 is the result . Before we go further into the subject let's know there is solution to it. JESUS . Because Jesus lives ; he defeated this very same situation with His own self .
This was Satan trying everything inorder to stop the kingdom of God to prosper .It comes by doing everything possible, in every manner by Satan . Ephs 6:12-18.The armour of God is the weapon that's required to fight this spiritual warfare .For this, firstly one needs to realise that, yes we are under attack ! This attack is from the dark forces of wicked one. But how does he start with the whole thing ? How this can be discerned ?
When our mind is filled with hate, anger ,envy ,jealousy, fear ,darkness ,losing every hope ,seeing no end of tunnel etc
Hating our own self .ating our own birth our own existence .Hating every bit of others .Hating everything that others are .Hating God ,as one feels even God has ditched us or given up .The value seems zero for everything .What ever we trusted till today ,every wisdom ,experience, knowledge, prayers seems meaningless to flesh ! When this happens, beware ! Its a satanic attack .
Which can be faced only by fighting with armour of God . Never try any more plans of our own .It will never succeed. To start with it ,the first step is to humble ourselves . Humbling is not just for a sinner .Its required in greater proportion for a saint . We should not forget Elijah who was so strong, but the very next moment ,became weaker than the weakest. Humbling our own self is nothing, but discerning our own pride of life that we attach in flesh .This humbling is possible only with fasting .Fasting for what !
To know my own pride ,my own trust on my flesh, its plans,all its aspects . Loosing this is submitting to will of God .
For this, prayer is the only solution .Fasting and praying relentlessly ,until one feels the pride of life is discerned ,is the first major step.1 John 2:15-16 . A personal conviction of where my strong hold is ,that's holding me weak by which I can be attacked, leads to deception - this is the point the victory starts . This weak area has to be discarded with conviction .It may be hidden deep inside in many manners . But its the one route by which deception is making us enticed even knowingly.But this strong hold has to be surrendered by our own self ,both to ourself as well as to God. Which makes us cry out --Like the prodigal son ,Father ,I have sinned to you and heaven . From then onwards its our humility that makes us have a recipient mind to listen to will of God ,that's a solution to everything . That solves the deception of the evil one .The evil days can be defeated only by executing the will of God.
Jonah is one example. Job is another . There is a glorious will of God upon our life to be executed & completed .Its this ,that's often ignored .Its on this ,the deceiver often trick us and destroy, that life finally comes to state of utter meaninglessness. Job1: 1-22, Jonah1:1-17, Jonah 3:1-10, Psalm 35:13, 1 Pet 5: 5-10.Running away alienated from will of God is the moment we are weakest .Not job lost .Not cancer .Not house lost .Not anything lost in flesh !.Its also not being in state of plenty, as the way of world.
This is the point the devourer is waiting .Gen3:8-13
We are weakest when we have no power to interact with God and man.Hating God and man .Judging God and man .Blaming God and man.Distancing from God and man.Cutting off relationship with God and man.Hiding with hundred reasons of self righteousness.Pointing finger outwards .Never inwards.This is attack of Satan .Deception of Satan.This is creating the same pride that he too had as he was in heaven . Isa 14:12-15, Prov 8:13. Pride forerunner to spiritual attack of Satan.

Revelation 12: 12-17 . The reason to love yesterday .The reason to love today .The reason to love tomorrow.Satan is ready to devour because he knows he has little time.The reason to love man is never his virtue ,for that's just a bunch of variation like a rainbow changing colours or vanishing away; which is weakness of flesh. If this virtue is taken as a reason to love then its walk over victory for Satan. Eph.6:12. We have to an extent the knowledge or experience of what Adam & Eve lost .Glory .We became slaves to Satan . We need to discern about the current and future tactics of Satan in its fullest detail. To realise the purpose to interact with others is a matter of importance spiritually.Which is really fighting the war ,resisting the devil.
1Peter 5:6-9, Ep: 6. 12-18,Without executing spiritual warfare ,its impossible to love others today and tomorrow.
Let spiritual warfare be reason to love others ,interact with others ,so eternal life and salvation and one being its witness, finds true meaning. Reason to abandon others by any reason of judgement or condemnation can be ruled out or overcome.1 John3: 8-16. Our duty like the token system is to share ,pass the good news each moment to others .The signal man does not consider just the train or driver ,its a multitude of passengers that are saved on each passing train, each trip of interaction .He is sober.

1 John: 5. 11. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Rev: 12. 12. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Eternal life brings along with it eternal hope .Which is a reason to interact with man and God on regular basis with a surety of purpose, surety of objectivity ,that increases in strength as time passes by. Which is reason for spiritual love with sincerity .
To discern this ,the contrary position needs to be discerned too. The contrary ,is what exactly Satan is experiencing on a continuous basis in an increasing manner. Having lost his position of glory ,fallen for the wrath , judgment , condemnation of God ,he has little time left to face hell fire .This shatters every peace from his mind , replaced only by hate ,anger, envy, jealousy ,fear ,remorse, vengeance etc. There is nothing to hope for. This moment is not having anything to look on to, other than destroy the recipients of salvation which is mankind.Somehow deceive them ,so at least to an extend he can avenge for his loss .Take revenge .His anger is vented on man with every crookedness, cunningness & cleverness . As the end of age is coming to its finality of grace, in which the children of God with anointing, are evangelizing the whole world ,even defying death or pride of life becoming martyrs ,his anger is vented out in increasing proportions . Doing every thing to distract the good news ,which enlightens the recipients of grace .The gentiles whose number is yet to be completed .He is trying to entice the saved by blinding their eyes with every deception ,thus preventing their minds , not to believe the truth ,create doubt about truth by hiding his identity ,while projecting the preacher as an enemy. Along with this various tribulations, he goes on to create as expected in the end of times, like the mark of beast ,impersonation of the trinity etc. This makes the ignorant drunken with lust for this world, so much that the mind is racing with anxiety ,only with deception and gathering of what's passing by . Where by the whole life is spend ,consumed after the mad rush only to realise ! oh it was vanity ! Real gain was free .Salvation was to be gained .Arise ,be the evangelist ,proclaim the good news .You are the greatest influencer to your own children and generation no one else. If not the children and generation will be deceived by the enemy ,into proving that the truth is not salvation of soul but running the mad rush ,gaining the passing world . The prophecy about end of times is really about you and me arising ,shouting to every one selflessly freely given, freely to be transferred, no condemning ,no judging for its Christ in all, Christ by all ,Christ for all..
Revelation: 14:7-20 , Rev: 18. 2-24 , Rev 7: 13-17, Eph 6: 2-24,Rev 17: 2-18,Rev19:20 -21,Rev 20:11-15 .Love others for salvation with true zeal . Rev13:1-18 .Beware of the great deception . Joh 16:16-28,Eph 2:8-9. Everything given through grace
which is free .So receiver is free from any sort of obligation to giver, unless by true realisation of love towards the source behind grace .This is why ,executing will of God is loving God and man. While obeying law is not loving God or man but just social security of personal interests. 2 Cor4:1-5 Amen. Acts 20: 35. Giving light in darkness is being a channel of blessing of God unto others to salvation.

Luke: 24. 44. And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
The thirty three years of Jesus was the prophecy through word getting fullfilled. Today ,in the same way ,its the prophecy about us that needs to be fulfilled likewise with our life . ROM.8:29-32 .Normally the social outlook about prophecy is looking at various worldly signs like war famine etc ...But those are baseless, unless the prophecy concerning each one of us is not fulfilled . Prophecy getting fulfilled is a submission to the will of God ! It is really trusting in the Lord . It is amounting to Loving God and man .Revelation 5:9. No more classification of people in any manner .All humans are one common property purchased by Jesus .
Except the Son of perdition ,no one has been lost. The election and selection of God is permanent. He does not change.
Submission to will of God is really obeying God .Proverbs 9:10, Rom: 11. 25-29, John: 17. 9-12, John12: 26-33.A submitted life to will of God ,clears the life path of a child of God devoid of any other reasons . Like Jesus ,a child of God can be sure about his life because its completion of will of God which has a beginning as well as an end that says --It is finished !John 19:29-30
Where there is a priority to life.Reason and cause is not today but a PREDESTINATION .Which declares that one must discern the gifts of holy spirit . 1 Cor.12:27-311. For submission to will of God is allowing the mastership of Holy spirit as the revealer for each moment and interaction .John: 12. 47- 50,Mat 5:13,1 John: 5. 10-11.Being truly a witness to Eternal life !

Hebrews: 10. 5. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9. Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
James 1:18. We were made the first fruits for God. Tithe is our own self .Which is to be used by God for serving his holy purpose. In Malachi it is said about tithe.In new testament we ourselves are the tithe .ROM.12:1-2,1 Cor.3:16 .We are the temple of God , to be used as a house of prayer. Filled by holy spirit to execute the will of God. John 17:17-20. To be witness to truth . John: 18. 37, Luke: 24. 44- 49, John: 17. 17-22. Raised with Christ to serve as the Royal priest ,holy nation to bear witness to truth .Which is word coming to life ! Which is prophecy to be executed through our life .For which, its we ourselves to be offered .We are purchased by His blood.No more belonging to us. Revelation 5:9-10,Romans: 12. 1-2
Executing the great commission .For which, being led by the holy spirit is offering our body to Christ .Examples.., the apostles .Philip was asked to go to eunuch. Likewise.Mat: 21. 13.,Mark: 11. 17. Using ourselves as a house of prayer
Mat 18:19-20. Gathering together is for Jesus to come in our midst. But with a closed ,hypocrytical mind devoid of no surrender , living to our own whims ,fancies ,pride of life ,non availability of ourselves to God as per his requirement of truth is still the pending part. Often our decision and opinions are based on our own physical nature .Isaiah: 6. 5-8, Ezekiel: 33:1-11.Kept as a watchman to bring the good news .The ministry of new covenant. 2 Cor: 3. 5-8. If we do not preach the salvation and redemption of sin from the sinner, we are yet not witness to Jesus. For which we are raised with Christ .Which is the prophecy about our life !

1 John: 4. 8. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
The cycle of human life is so beautifully devised by God. At its beginning, man is ignorant of God & even His existence.The next stage is when existence of God becomes a conviction . Then next is ,revelation of God as power and source of strength .Then next one is when God appears as one with Law, where obeying His law is a blessing ,if not a curse . This is sin .The next is God as LOVE. Which reveals God as Father & we as His children .Here one learns to discern the love of God . The next stage is to love Him back . Loving God is not obeying the Law but Doing His will ,which is having faith in God ,trust in God about LIFE.This loving God is divided into two parts .The first being ,recepient of love of God.The second experience of loving God back .The experience of Loving God back leads to the final phase, which is loving OTHERS as God loves oneself.But this last phase is the experience of selflessness, where loving others as God loves others ,is by bearing others in midst of everything that others are .
Which amounts to everything that one's own self is. Everything that the flesh is . Everything that the nature of flesh is . Bearing everything that the weakness of flesh can always exhibit .Jesus loved us even when he was rejected !Jesus loved us even when we hated him.Jesus loved us even when we cursed him .Jesus loved us, even when we spurned him . Jesus loved us ,even when he was nailed to cross . Jesus loved us unto his DEATH.Nothing could remove us from his love .Father forgive them ,for they do not know what they do .The last phase of loving Others as God loves is carrying ones own cross .Loving others to point of Death ,where salvation of soul ,eternal life and being with God the father is the greatest thrill. Where applied reason and cause is God and His word. Where the real pain is not anything of the world but experience of every rejection and its result that Jesus Bore !
So that Others too experience the true love of God each moment ,every moment with surety . Surety that reveals faith ,will carry through to salvation .A surety love has no reason to fear . A surety that one will never ever be judged but only be loved.
A surety that once Accepted , will never ever be rejected .2 Timothy: 2. 13. , Luke: 23. 31- 37,42-47, Acts: 7. 55.-60. ,Romans: 5. 6-14. ,Ephesians: 2:1-16. ,Romans: 8:1- 6.,John: 21: 18-19.
The last part of love is exhibiting love of God to Others in midst of everything which is summed up as Ignorance .Nothing is a reason to judge or condemn .No mother hates her child. Luke: 24:44 -51,Mat16: 24-27. The glorious life defies death
The glorious power of life mocks death ,when death tries to cause fear ,anger ,hatred ,envy ,jealousy, judge & condemn .John: 17: 21-26. , 1 John: 3:13- 16. The last phase is loving others in midst of being hated ,scorned ,mocked, despised & put on cross ,for we have defeated death . Raised with Christ.To reign with him !Hallelujah.Amen.

James: 1. 5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Perceiving others is based on value with which we see others . Desiring to see others is very important .Normally we tend to form an attitude about others based on how we perceive them based on what they exhibited yesterday as well as today . Never our evaluation is based on what they will be tomorrow ! From the beginning, of fall of man , we see examples of men that become exemplified personalities, from a lowly state gradually getting transformed .For this we also see God's promise and covenants at work .We see his patience, hope, mercy ,kindness at work.His courage and faith in individuals at work .All of above, is bearing the ignorance of individual until the transformation is achieved .Peter could not have become the great pillar of church ,had God not seen him with hope ,kindness and mercy .This is a possibility only based on wisdom about the value of Peter based on the tomorrow of Peter. John 21:14-17 .Look at Moses ! In the beginning, we see a Moses who kills people but later on he becomes such a humble person, that he becomes an useful tool for God. Look at how Paul himself is seen by Ananias ,as well as Jesus in Acts 9:13-17 .Therefore value of a person is truly based on what he is destined by God to become .Not on what he is today or what he was yesterday.Titus 3:3-7 .But to see likewise, it calls for a revealed wisdom about the other . This is revelation from holy spirit .This vision about others truly constitute love, affection, interaction with value ,wisdom etc.
Look at what happened to Onesimus ,when Paul interacted with him ! Paul met him as a waste ,unwanted, useless person .
He could have despised, spurned, judged, condemned Onesimus. But the vision about Others as revealed by holy spirit made him SEE the value in Onesimus ,rather than the negatives or sin or ignorance etc . This vision prompted Paul to desire for interaction to uplift Onesimus . How do we see others ! Is it with wisdom about others based on past and present experience of their behaviour ,character ,nature etc ? Or is it based on who they are Predestined by God . God of promise is executor of predestined works ! This is the Father we see in the parable of prodigal Son.Waiting patiently but with surety, knowing my son ,who was dead ,would come back as Live .This we see in Joseph in Genesis 45:5-7 .This we see in Peter.You are a rock,on you I will build the church. Without seeing wisdom about David ,could God use him as the great character that he became !
Therefore what is truly love, if we are not able to see what others are destined to become tomorrow ? The one who started the good works shall complete it unto day of Christ .The famous speech of Martin Luther king .I HAVE A DREAM .
This prompted him to become a great leader who brought to light best in others ,not one who was interested in pinpointing the ignorance of others .Encouraging others . John 12: 46-50, Philemon 1: 10- 13, Acts 9: 10-22,Mat 19: 28-30, Acts 10: 28-44, Rom 8: 28-33. Love without hope .Love without wisdom. about future of others .Love without God's promise and his work about others is love without mercy ,kindness ,patience .Instead its only love with fear doubt suspicion . 1 John 4:18-19

1 John: 4. 19. We love him, because he first loved us.
God loved us first. The one who sees a thrilling value in others both yesterday ,today & tomorrow, eternally will desire to love others .But seeing this value is seeing with wisdom. Seeing with wisdom is capability to see the other .How we see the other person depends on, with what attitude we look at the other person . Looking at others with an unforgiven mind ,amounts to seeing the other in a different light. Seeing the ignorance of others and responding to it as disobedience, will not make us able to love . To see ignorance is a possibility , is only with wisdom. God is the source of wisdom.We receive wisdom from him continuously . Receiving wisdom enables us to see value . Seeing , perceiving or experiencing value in our own mind about others determines the attitude of perceiving others .Attitude of perceiving others, decides the purpose of interaction with others !
Reason of interaction with others .Need to interact with others .If the value is lost, the reason to interact is lost . That which I desire becomes of no value . Romans 8:19-22. God did not see a value in creation when he saw man lose his glory . Therefore even creation itself is waiting earnestly for God's children to regain the lost glory. Love always originates out of wisdom, value of own mind . This value tends to OVERLOOK the shortcomings ,the weaknesses . Hagar and Ishmael is one perfect example to prove this point. God revealed to Hagar ,the consistent value of Ishmael . This allows her to see Ishmael with a consistent attitude .
But let's look at Ishmael . What value does Ishmael see in Hagar, to love her back inconsistently ! Realising what he received from Hagar in a consistent manner makes him continuously become thankful. A thankful mind is a receiving mind of wisdom . A thankful mind also is the response to love . We receive love from God! We love God back. Hagar loved Ishmael .
Ishmael loved Hagar back .Both were therefore consistently upholding wisdom in their minds that decided with what value one would see the other . The wisdom of God is revelation by holy spirit . Children of God walk with the holy spirit .If my value about others cease, then the desire to love becomes impossible. Judgment ,condemnation, distance, hypocrisy ,anger, hatred, jealousy, envy is the result . Look at Moses and Joseph . Both found wisdom from God ! Both found value for others .Both saw others with love .Both did not see reason to distance or hate or judge or condemn . But look at the others with respect .Both the groups could not love back . Similarly Jesus heals ten lepers ! Only one comes back . Nine lost value of healing they received.
If this value was seen, Jesus would not have been crucified. Peter would not have cursed denied ran away from Jesus . Seeing ,perceiving attitude is a result of wisdom and value. Its source is God. Its revelation is God. The prodigal son saw his father as a revelation when he underwent transformation . This occurred not when he was with the father or reunited but while he was far away in wilderness . Receiving the wisdom about value about his father changes his attitude about his father. His value about his portion of wealth changes to value about his father . Do we see value in a person or value about the share of property ! This decides what I love . One cannot love both . One cannot serve two masters . 1John 4: 18-21, Gen 50:15-22, See what Joseph perceived , while what his brothers perceived. Nu 14: 1-10, Mat 6: 21-25, John 12: 26-37,
The greatest miracle -Miracle of loving today by seeing others with eternal value, that decides with what attitude I SEE .
I want to SEE. Gen 21: 16-20.
What does Ishamel see in Hagar ? When does he see Hagar ? Only when he looks with wisdom. Proverbs 9:10 .When do we see the love of Christ on the cross ? Is it with own wisdom or spiritual wisdom revealed by holy spirit ! Bring us out from slavery to freedom .From darkness to light .From fear to strength .From doubt to faith and hope .From blindness to a mind that can see ALWAYS! Seeing always with the right attitude about others, with thrilling value that looks with love ,that sees a great value !
Not sin. Heb 10: 12, 17-18. What do we see in others ? Value to love or zero value .Only sin in others ? David says do not remember my sins ! Ps 51: 1-19

Romans: 5. 8. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13. (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Trying to love God or trying to love oneself or trying to love Others in dead state is impossible as the true value of God or true value of oneself or true value of Others cannot be discerned ! Genesis 21:16,Is a good pointer .Hagar could not discern the true value of God ,true value of her own self or true value of Ishmael her son . Unless and until its revealed to her by God .
She sees no value in the three areas , hence she sees reason to hate , reason to judge , reason only to condemn even her own birth ,her own child ! Does it mean she did not love her child as a mother ? Of course, she loved but without discerning the value .Which is trying to love without Joy .When we try to love God ,our own selves ,others without value its love without joy .This is like working for a company .The employee loves his establishment, loves his job but with a hatred or no joy because there is no value .Its like a slavery ! I am forced to do the job because there is no other option . But if a value is discerned on an everyday basis then living becomes an act out of Joy. God found our value ,even before we were born, even before we were formed in our mother's womb .Even when we were sinners, dead ,slave to Satan ,faithless etc etc etc ...It was the value of HIMSELF that he found in US.Made us as His own children .Gal 5:3-5 .This is why Jesus loved us with joy ,even when he had to endure the cross .For this Father God always revealed the true value to his son .So dead will hear, come to life .Raised from dead to life is the glorious state ,where the true born again child of God is able to perceive the value of God, value of oneself ,value of others in a constant state of revelation . Which is why Paul exclaims in 1 Timothy 1:15-16,I am the worst of sinners, but God saved me. !
Today we still see sin in others , because we do not discern value of others as they are ! If we are seeing sin, instead of true value whenever we interact with others ,its equal to trying to love others without value ! Trying to love without joy .This is trying to love ,without hope ,like a slavery or like what to do, I have no other option but to bear others. Like interacting with an unwanted gift .Hagar interacted initially with an unwanted gift . But when value of Ishamel was revealed to her ,wow there was joy in loving her son ,hope in loving her son , faith in loving her son ,surety in loving her son . Heb 12:2 .There was joy for Jesus to endure the cross.We too are called to endure the cross.Without discerning the true value through holy spirit ,how can we love God, ourself ,others with Joy ! It will find reason only to see Sin in others ,Condemn others .1 Tim1: 15-16,Heb10: 15-16,
Mat16:21-27, Ps 139: 12-17. The value that God saw in Us ,was so amazing ,thrilling ,inspiring, motivating that he could not take his eyes off us one second . He was jealous about us .It was loving us with such joy that he wants us to be with him .
1 Thess 5: 8-10 ,Mat 22: 32, Can a dead person love with joy !Dead person will try to love without discerning value .
God loved us even when we were dead . Marks 1: 17

1 Timothy: 6. 16. Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
Living and interacting with Jesus who lives in light ! How can this be understood ? Consider a new born child and its mother living together . The mother is full of love ,wisdom ,kindness ,mercy ,tenderness ,dreams etc.. about the child .The mother exhibits all these natures to the child every moment. The child is recipient to all these from the mother. But look at the child with respect to what it is receiving ! It is unaware ! It is helpless to understand what it is receiving .It cannot fathom, what is really the meaning of what it is receiving . It does not even know that it is a vessel of such goodness.If the child is to respond to above goodness, how is it possible ! Yet the child coexists with the mother and the mother coexists with the child . This is love of God and wisdom of God .He interacts with his children with such great values always .But His children are unable to discern anything .Yet coexisting with him ,trying to love him ,trying to interact with Him in similar helplessness like the newly born baby and mother .
Just knowing this fact ,discerning this fact ,makes one realise ,the value each one has .,Realising this value is the start of really living with God . Like the prodigal son ,who never new in the beginning who his father was ,what his father was .What he was experiencing right from birth . But ignorance of that, led him to demand for his share of property .He finds value not in himself but in the share of property . Today , we are so like this child ,like this prodigal son, that we do not discern the true value of both ourselves as well as others .We see the value in things of this world that are passing away .The Adam before fall, who tried to interact with every living creature but found no meaning . But found a meaning when God revealed the Eve that he made from Adam and presented her to him . Similarly God is revealing our value and value of others according to His great wisdom and trying to reveal it ,to us each moment so that we too can interact with others in a like wise manner . Which is loving oneself as well as loving others with revelation of new value ! A value that finds reason to love like the Mother who finds reason to love her child . Gen 21:14- 20. Hagar has a reason to love the child not blindly but suddenly ,due to a revealed value of her child by God . Its this revealed value that's lacking when we interact with others ! What value do we see in others, when we interact with others ! Mark 1: 17 ,Eph 3: 3-11, The true experience of joy in loving oneself ,In loving others .When a value is revealed about oneself as well as others .Like Hagar who finds a value in Ishmael which is such a joy ,which is such a reason to love ,with Hope ,with surety ,with faith !

Titus: 3. 3. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Hating ownself or others is a reality and result of IGNORANCE. Limitations of wisdom leads to limitation to love which is start of hate . Take any specific subject or idea or opinion or issue or situation or any matter . The moment our wisdom about it ends, it becomes a matter to hate ! That particular subject becomes of no value . It also loses its lustre. Eg..,are when we try to possess something new . At the onset it may have a value !.But once it is possessed, slowly its value ceases .Once the value is totally exhausted, the subject matter becomes an UNWANTED WASTE. There is no more purpose . Like we can say ,creation lost its purpose !. The moment the value is lost, creation lost its purpose. Wisdom is always associated with VALUE. As long as value is there, there is enough and more reason to love ,to desire, to attach ,to remain united . The subject matter remains united in mind .
The moment, the value ceases, the subject matter is cast away from mind and the mind tries to resist every associated thought about it . But what to do - Even if the mind tries to resist every thought ,the subject matter remains as a reality . That too with no more meaning .Love relationship between people is one such entity .When relationship has value ,there is reason to attach in mind .When value in mind about either the other person or ownself is lost, there is no more anything to achieve or hope !. This leads to detachment but alas the person or ownself remains as a reality . Its this experience of valuelessness that takes away hope ,that leads to death or fear or anger or jealousy or finally JUDGEMENT and CONDEMNATION. We consider ourselves as TOTAL WASTE when value ceases . The best example is JOB and his wife ,when their family is stricken with disaster, after disaster and finally Job himself becomes a mountain of disease. No more value ! His wife sees no more value ! She boldly exclaims , "curse your God and die !" Its not that Job did not have value for himself but
