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.
2 Timothy: 4. 6. -10. Realise the folly of DEMAS !

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

Johny Philip
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 his wife did not find a value for Job in her mind !
She did not find a value for JOB because she ceased to find meaning or value to her ownself .! Its here God always has infinite value for himself .So he loves his own self .Result-- he loved his own begotten son . Lord Jesus Christ . He redeemed his children ,to state of infinite value, as Himself through Jesus Christ . He declares in his holiness- "they will see my face and will live with me" ! Not WITHOUT VALUE that ever varies or decreases but increases . So thrilling .So thrilling . You and me and others individually are objects of immense value to God so inseperable to God always in his mind ! It is a joy for his mind ,at every thought about you or me or others ! Thats why its said in bible -He calls you by his DEAREST PET NAME ! A name that is directly associated with value and relationship or love with sincerity and trust and hope and faith .This same aspect can be seen in Adam when he first went around ,naming every living creature in Genesis . But could not find in them, His equivalent value ! Its then God provided EVE with equal value to which he exclaimed with first revelation of LIGHT
My bone ,My flesh ,My likeness .When sin crept in and he lost his glory he lost his value ,he finds EVE with no value !
Rest of it is history ,repeating itself even to this day . Marriage of Lamb of God is just opposite of this !
Gen2:19-25- "Not ashamed " - means to have value about the reality of other and own self . Its not the dress or gold or silver or any such things that give value ,but the real individual that has value ! That does not cease with age ! only increases with age, for its wisdom added to wisdom that sees never ending value ! Gen3: 9-14 - Adam looses his own sense of individual value ,hates himself . Runs away from himself ! Runs away from Eve ,as well as God. Not realising ! BUT BUT BUT GOD DID NOT LOSE His Value about his ownself or the value of his creation .His own IMAGE.
Result -You ,me ,others are always an object of joy& love , never an object of hate, fear, condemnation ,unwanted or waste !
John 3: 16-21,Rom 5: 5-20, Rev 19: 7-16, King ,kingdom ,royal subjects, lasting kingdom -Reality only ,if value is always a reality ! Rev22: 4-5, Rev 21: 3-7, Job 2: 7-10 -See ,Job did not lose value, it was his wife who lost value ! Resulting in hate ,fear condemnation ,waste, no meaning etc ! Luke 15: 20-24 -The value of the father ,is the value the father had for his Son even when the Son had no value for his ownself ! Gen 45: 5-15 - Joseph found value in himself through God ! Joseph found value about his brothers through God . Result --He had a place in his mind with joy and love for his brothers ! Its this Joseph that's translated as Jesus. Eph 5: 25-32, Mark 1: 17

Luke: 15. 24. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
The greatest experience of joy is felt not as a momentary occasion but one that lasts, one that can be ever enjoyed without doubt .This sort of joy is eternal in nature .This eternal joy is the experience of pefectness of own self in others ! But without experience of perfectness in ownself ,a person cannot discern this perfectness in others .The reason is ,the mind is always under influence of imperfectness.The experience of imperfectness is the state of dead ,the bible describes .Eph 2:1-17 .Only a raised to life state by ownself can discern the perfectness and its beauty or experience its benefit .To put it in biblical manner ,the night has passed, the day has dawned ! There is hope, faith ,courage ,strength, surety in everything . Doubt about everything is gone . Doubt and fear are a thing of past .Fear of death is gone for ever .For in all, its God working executing His promise ,His covenant, His love .
Absolutely nothing can change it ever ,ever, ever. The essence of worldly reason or reasoning stops .The principle of reason is faith in the word of God .This faith is not by own wisdom of word of God ,but consistent revelation of word of God by the holy spirit as light .Which is being led by spirit .Which is always with a new attitude every moment . A discernment by own self that, I had a different attitude to same situation before .Before in each situation, it was FEAR based reason that was enslaving me .
So in everything and in every moment whether I have plenty in everything ,peace of mind was absent.I am TOSSED like a ping pong ball .Hating own life !Titus 3:3-4 .Hated my ownself ,hated every body .Every body hated me ! In such a state, how can I find any reason to Love myself .How can I find reason to love others, if I HATE MYSELF. Question ,Why should I love myself if I do not find any reason to love myself ! Eph 5:27-32.Verse 32 Paul describes a great mystery .This mystery ,when discerned by ownself is a reason to start loving ,seeing the worth of the worthless ! I was worthless ,now made worthy in unimaginable manner ,all through Christ .I was eternally an unwanted creation .No more, am I ,an unwanted creation .My creation has greatest purpose which God has predestined through his love. Like wise I see others and their great worth .They too are predestined with great worth by a loving God who loves me .Yes, I and others are forgiven eternally .Hebrews 10:17
Their is Hope both for Others as well as myself .Everything happens ever not just coincidentally, but by exact plan and purpose of God only .FAITH, TRUST IN GOD the FATHER. Ps 139: 14-18. Reason to like myself .Reason to like others !An indefinable value that world can not give .One which increases , never decreases or varies ! Isa 9: 2-3

Luke: 15. 7. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Greatest experience of joy.Why heaven experiences the greatest joy at the transformation of a sinner ? Nothing else is ever compared to this ! Yet ,why we thrill at finding joy in various other things . And the sinners transformation is seen with least importance .To know it or realise it, look back to our yesterday and see what all things accounted for experience of joy while what all things accounted for sorrow.In all of above what priority did transformation of a sinner play part in our life ! Jesus goes on to explain, the experience of joy through various parables and examples .The transformation of a sinner is the change from death to life of a child of God .God is able to see himself or his own likeness in you and me .His own perfectness in you and me .We too will experience the greatest experience of joy when we experience the perfectness of our own selves in others ! Like Adam experienced the same when God made Eve and revealed it to Adam. Gen2: 22-24,Luke 15: 19-26. The father sees his own perfectness in the son ,when the real transformation or change occurs in the prodigal son .

Rom 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.
God's love is God's thrill at experiencing his own perfectness. For this, He send his own Son to achieve everything, to make His children exactly ,as he is . Children in spirit, who posses every nature & behaviour he has .Character he has .Wisdom he has .
Grace and holy spirit was a result of this .Covenant and promise was a result of this .Patience was a result of this .Hebrews 12:2
The joy in front of Him ! The cross was not a matter of sorrow but a matter of joy ,for it was the only one tick option, that gives God the perfectness his children would be . Hence spirituality through the cross and looking at others through cross is not in any manner a burden or looking at others to judge or condemn but the same thrill of God .The matter of greatest joy .Which is suffering with joy. Rom 8:17-18

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. 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. 10. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Thirsting for doing the will of God is possible only as a result of faith, conviction, trust ,hope & love towards God. Often we are all thrilled to achieve something only when we experience something or have a vision about something ,which's too much over powering ! The experience of God is translated as image of God in its perfectness. For this, its important to realise what was most thrilling to God from beginning to end . It was His own image ! Which was mankind in his own image .Which was in reality disclosed to us through Lord Jesus Christ .The greatest personality .What's the glory of the greatest personality ?What's the glory of the greatest personality ? Its the greatest experience one can ever have . An experience that increases in desire each moment . This experience and desire that increases eternally is becoming one ,united as one etc. But again how can this be defined or put in words ! One simple manner of explanation is like the following . What do you like best in you ?
Is it your character ,Is it your behaviour ,s it your qualities ,Is it your capabilities ,Is it your nature ,Is it your capacities ,Is it none of above ! Is it everything else apart from you ? About which you consider yourself different not a part of it ? Gen 2:18-24
See ,What did Adam lack ? Nothing . But he was going on searching to find among all of God's creation something unique in which he could experience himself . With this objectivity he approached ,interacted sincerely ardently with every animal. This is why, its written he named each one of them.We too name ,even a pet animal we possess .When we interact ,don't we call it intimately by that name ? Even the domestic cow has such a name .But what do we experience from it ? What are we trying to experience from it ? What Adam tried to experience ! To see himself . But in everything he could not experience this particular himself . He wanted to experience his perfectness in something else .But to his dismay ,nothing could ever display an experience of His perfectness.It was this that God too desired or thrilled .The reason of creation of man in God's image, character, nature capability , wisdom etc.He created Eve and presented ,revealed to Adam .Yes ! Eve was revealed to Adam by God .
Perhaps the first revelation that Adam received from God ! Eve .A perfect image of his own perfect self .See the exclamation Adam makes . Gen 2:23. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. See the revelation, the vision of Adam . See what really Adam saw in Eve .An image of himself .His own perfectness. Now what happened to this perfectness ? Gen 3:12. And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 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. When imperfectness crept into Adam which is every nature of flesh ,he starts to SEE all his imperfectness in Eve . For she too became everything that He too is .He is not desiring his imperfectness .He does not want to associate with his imperfectness .God too finds his image destroyed .
But God in his glory recreated you and me once again back into his own image .Through his only begotten son Lord and saviour Jesus Christ . John 3:3-7 .The reality of born again .Living in newness of life. Ron 8: 5-21, The great revelation of who Others are .Your own perfect image recreated by God in his infinite wisdom .But has to be seen experienced through vision by holy spirit .
Like Adam first saw Eve ! Eph 2: 1-22.Its this vision about others that thrilled Paul the apostle to be apostle to gentiles. Eph 3: 3-7.Perfectness that never lost charm .A perfectness that increases in lustre. May the same revelation of Adam , of Paul be rekindled in us so we really see.We are really able to see .This perfectness, not imperfectness of others but our own selves . John 12: 47-50. John 8: 3-12. What did scribes and pharisees see in adulterous women ? Their own imperfectness .What did Jesus see in the same adulterous women ! Saved by His blood .Cleansed by his blood .What do we see in Her ?

Revelation: 22. 17. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
The reason to be thirsty for word from holy spirit ! What God declared earlier has come to pass.Isaiah 42:9. The example is Hagar.Gen 21:14-16 .Your son too will become a great generation.This revelation was not just a one day requirement for Hagar. Instead each day she had reason to hear from God, if she wanted to interact with Ishmael. She must be convinced about Ishmael , about God's promise !The attitude to listen to God in right perspective is so important .To trust that the will of God upon Ishmael is the greatest, than any smart idea she can have by herself ! For the will of God is otherwise the expression of love mercy ,kindness ,wisdom of God .John 5:19-20.This truth is a reality about every other person with whom we interact .Rev 5:8-9
For this the great commission is entrusted upon us .Which forms the new testament ministry.2 Core.3:5-6
But the concept of this ministry is often misunderstood, just as a spiritual service that should be confined to four walls of church !
Look at Hagar ! Was it an everyday need , in order to interact with Ishmael ? Look at everyday of interaction of Jesus .It was this spirit filled, spirit assisted interaction that created the ministry .It was the thrill for both to hear from God ,for both were thrilled at what God declared about others !Are we thrilled about others ? Are we thrilled about transformation of others which is God's promise & will about them. If so without hearing this on every day basis ,will it happen ? Romans 10:17. The transformation of others is reason for God's love to interact ,as well as his hope .Interaction without hope leads to hypocrisy and judgment . Gen 21: 17-18, John 5: 19-20, 2 Cor 3: 5-7, Rom 12: 2,

Acts: 10. 28. And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
The beauty of what is to happen ! The normal concept of what is to happen is mainly looked for or eagerly anticipated is in the field of things we desire .These are mainly human plans and purposes. These are quite worldly in nature. But the plan of God with respect to what should happen is the transformation of His children from state of death to state of life as a continuous process where no one is inferior or superior . This results in reason to interact becomes a matter of greatest thrill I would say greater thrill than reinventing the electric bulb or finding out gravity by a falling apple ! Peter a man of great growth ,spiritual call and experience so suddenly discerns the area that he should change, not only out of the vision he saw from God but comes to know it only out of the gentile population from the house of Cornelius.Others are such a blessing to me ! I come to know myself with greater conviction what I should be ,rather than what others should be ! Where is the reason to consider others as unclean refuse hated to be of no value . God's mighty plan is so full of wisdom and love that it not only takes care of every needs in every manner but also without anybody's knowledge it creates such a transformation in every individual due to OTHERS. Peter really has reason to be thankful to the gentile population for through them ,the gain he received as a change in his attitude is something ,the gain of world cannot give . Rev 4:1-11, Jer 31: 31-40 . Least and greatest together make up the house of the Lord in perfect union of oneness and love .What a glorious plan God has made ! To consider no one a waste ! Acts 10:28.God made OTHERS as valuable as himself through his son Lord Jesus Christ .

2 Corinthians: 3. 5. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; 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.
The dual benefit of light with respect to law.Law always deals with pointing fingers.Judging ,Punishment ,Anger ,Etc
Light deals with both oneself as well as others only with LOVE. In light there is only a revelation of wisdom that takes the form of conviction and transformation to both the preacher and the preached .Look at the case of even Jesus ! Mathew 26:52-54
The same word was used by God the father for Jesus to execute his earthly ministry ,at the same time it was used in another manner on disciples and ourselves .Luke 24:44-45. Light has one meaning or interpretation for a person while it may create yet a greater meaning or interpretation for the receiver. As a preacher I may have preached a message with intention of a particular light which I saw .But the same may reveal, at the same instant yet a different light or revelation to hundreds of listeners in hundred manners. 1Cor 12: 5-27 .The same food we know is energy for eyes, nose ,hand ,brain etc ...None can say, I am superior or I only gave you food .The mouth cannot boast ,I only give you water or food ,so I am superior .No. All organs are same all organs are equally important .All organs function between each other as always ,interdependent ,most wanted ,inseperable to each other . John 17: 6-26. See there is no element of anger ,judging ,only transformation. John 21: 14-17
.The same word reveals a great light to Peter while its a great revelation to others .May be even the very life of Peter. 1 Cor 3: 5-11. Rom 4: 15-16. Light came to be a helper to the weak & sinner , not to condemn in any manner or to distance or show any inferior or superiority with any one .Only to be humble .The servant leader .1Tim 1:14-17,Phil 3: 8-16

Isaiah: 42. 9. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Former things and new things are revealed as vision . This vision is seeing with inner mind .To see with inner mind is interconnection of word in mysterious combination that straight way becomes a Conviction .Conviction has a beautiful property .
It eliminates every DOUBT. Elimination of doubt is not a simple joke . Doubt is result of hundreds of parameter .Behaviour of a person ,character of a person ,current level of wisdom of a person, etc are tip of the iceberg in doubts.Eg.,Mark 1:14-17
Jesus calls the fishermen .Come I will make you Fisher's of men ! Could it be worldly possible ? No .System of world asks ,demands prequalifications ,pre-experiences etc . But here Jesus does not demand that at all ,from you and me ! Only a submitted ,willing ,obedient ,humble mind ! Second -When any duty is entrusted upon each one of us ,the first question that comes to our mind is .AM I CAPABLE ! And along with it comes DOUBT. Moses in Exodus 3 ,we see a stammer ,Moses talking with God about his incapacity .Its God's capacity at work in you and me .Its his grace and power !See the case of prophet Elijah.At the flick of a second ,he becomes weak and declares to God -I want to die .Its God's plan ,which is reality not your planless mind !
He already has a sure definite plan .Predestined .See prophet Samuel ,what happened to him when send to elect David . 1 Sam16:14-19. Again see the difficulty that Ananias faces when he was told to go and meet Saul ! Acts 9:13-17 .Again see what Jesus tells Peter .You are Peter the Rock .On you I will build the church . The devils works will not succeed.Again see the great commission ,Luke 24:44-50 .Which is to each one of us !Mat 28:19-20 .Its revelation of wisdom as light, that matters not any memory or capacity or quality of individual that matters . These have been already taken care of ,once for all, by sacrificial death of Jesus Christ . Redeemed ,purchased & cleansed . Heb 10:5-17 . Sin and its sting , judgment is another great constraint that create doubts . Look at the interaction of Jesus with adulterous women and pharasees in john 9. Even the born blind man and Jesus ! Ignorance of wisdom always creates a sense of incapacity in mind ,for a proud person who takes pride as his capacity .
Jer 9:23-24 .God does not need your capacity .2 Cor3:5-7 .Its not even your memory that matters .Its not even what you or me that matters ! Its all about God's LOVE towards mankind that matters ! John 3:16.God SO LOVED THE WORLD ,He gave his best and waits so patiently that its like the fish living in sea ,without knowing where it swims ,its still in sea.We are living likewise in the sea of his Love !His mercy ,His kindness,His wisdom . Hab2:14, Ex 3:11,1Kings 19: 14-21 ,Mat 18:4, John 9: 1-11,Acts 9: 11-18, Action with revelation is devoid of doubt LIKE GOD for its God's will at WORK through his chosen vessel .YOU and Me and ALL.To reveal his glory ! Amen . 1Tim 1: 14-17

Isaiah: 42. 9. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Executing the will of God is always declaration of the will of God prior to its execution .This declaration prior to execution is act of revelation of will of God .John 5:19-20,Mathew 10:20,Luke 24:44-45 .For this word is the forerunner to belief .This word is the power factor to creation ,execution . John 1:1-5,Gen1:1-4,John 17:7-8. But speaking out the word through us to Others or to each individual is the vital part ! The importance needs to be discerned . When God spoke to Abraham - He was speaking to or addressing the whole mankind . When God spoke through Moses ,he was speaking to a whole mankind.When we are interacting as disciple to Jesus Christ we are actually addressing a whole mankind, generations about God's love about God's will that He is going to execute .Are we conscious about it ? When the ten spies talked to the congregation of children of Israel foolishly see what was the result ! They came under fear, doubt ,anxiety ,leading to total destruction and confusion.Num 14:1-5
The words from our mouth are often expressed so carelessly ,as if we are free to say what ever we feel like .Could Jesus take this liberty ? Did he take this liberty ? No. Never. Moses said to God .What should I tell them ? If we are standing on a stage addressing a crowd of million people ,listening to each word we say ,will we ever simply open our mouth and speak ?
Does any good doctor simply speak to his patient or to the bystander ? No .Never . It accounts to great value . Its like life and death to the listeners . Looking back ,how many times have we heard the statement , What did He/She say ....
To know its importance, just observe the sum total of today . We will see ourselves asking the same question to others a thousand times , about a thousand subjects . Its not only demanding from us, to say what was said, but also to interpret what was spoken or heard or revealed . Yesterday in the midst of my family setting, I received a telephone call . It was from a very important person . Naturally I put my phone on speaker so my family too could listen exactly what was spoken first hand . The VIP spoke .
All in the room heard . In one minute the call ended. What surprised me was that .... my family started grilling me .What did the VIP speak ! I told to my utter dismay .I too heard the same talk ,same instant ,same manner you too heard . Same language etc. So why you people could not grasp . Again to my surprise I noticed the one or two sentence that was spoken by the VIP. I was interpreting it ,for the next ten fifteen minutes . This created such a change in mind to the family . Joy ,hope, confidence ,faith, expectation etc . Each moment ,the greatest VIP God is speaking not unimportant things to you or me ! But glorious things pertaining to his will .Yet Yet Yet .We interpret it with such doubt ,negativity, etc .Result --Confusion ,doubt, fear ,fight ,no peace !
Isa 42:8-9 .What God speaks to us .How we listen to it .How we respond to it.How we interpret it . Its need or importance !
Rev 22: 16-21, John12: 49-50 ,John: 14. 24-31, John: 7. 37-39, 1 Sam 3:1-21 .To speak what is heard ,listening is most important ! Prayer is the greatest humbleness to listen .For its Holy God Almighty, who speaks to you and me out of His love to you and me ! After his talk .Others will ask .What did Lord speak ! What's our answer ? Exo 20:18-21, Num12:1-8, James 3: 1-13,Mark 14: 24-50, Mark1: 21-27, Mark 12: 24, Mark 11: 23-24. Greatest strength of prayer is LISTENING to the only VIP that really matter ! GOD. Rev 3: 20-22 .

Luke: 16. 26. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
The transformation required and the will of God. Verse 26 is a great pointer .The greatest professionalism required is to execute the will of God upon one's life. It really needs a learning phase ,training phase and finally an execution phase. Luke 2:40, Rom12:2 .Noah, Abraham ,Moses all down the line, we see the three phases ,as well as the lifetime achievement that was offered as a sacrifice . They gave it when they had options to live like the rest of the folks .Conforming to this world , where first priority is pride of life ! But it was a matter of personal conviction, desire,craving real love to God that translated as executing the will of God .Verse 26 clearly defines that, God does not need the second best from us ! In executing His will through Jesus, He gave us His BEST .The real tithe is not money, its our own selves which was purchased ,redeemed by Jesus by invaluable sacrifice of His life .Executing the will of God in one's life is like a child gaining basic education, professional education, then its training & the execution phase all of which needs a time period .Heb 5:12 .Doing the will of God as a momentary spare time job or part time job is not what is required of any child of God . For the full life is dedicated to the predestined call. Rom 8:29-32 ,1 Pet 2:5-8 . The royal priests . Sacrifice becomes a pleasing sacrifice when we really sacrifice our choice of opinion, reason ,our will etc with a one stop decision . Look at Moses .From the day of burning bush it was an agreement with God .
From that moment there was no turning back .God of covenant and promise calls us to be His partners to glory, NOT WITHOUT COMMITMENT !
Question .Have we really come into any face to face terms with God on this subject of commitment ,to execute the will of God ?
For without commitment there is no purpose or specific objectivity. Vision, mission, execution ,target ,delivering quality excellence, completion is fulfillment of will of God .The second coming of Jesus becomes meaningless to His children, when we run away from a committed life ,showing distrust . The keeper of Soul will come asking for it .Will we be put to shame !Prophet Samuel was aware of His commitment back to God .1 Sam3:7 .Speak Lord Your servant is listening " Mary said ,Here is thy servant may thy will be done . Noah did all that God told him.Moses was highlighted by God himself .My servant Moses ,Num12:4-8 ,Josh1-6
Heb10:5-7.,Reveals of this commitment back ,that's required .Here I come to do your will oh God ! This conviction later develops into an inner urge, desire ,craving that makes the mind see in a continuous state as to what needs to be done constantly through the instruction of holy spirit . Newton did not reveal gravity just by a second ,neither did it stop there .
Paul did not start and finish the will of God by just a revelation but by a commitment from His side that was assisted by holy spirit .Eph 3:1-9 is self explanatory.Such a commitment makes us discern the instruction from the holy spirit ,as well as realising the gift of holy spirit in our own selves . For by discernment of this gift ,does it make us grow in endeavor.Finally the meaning of
IT IS FINISHED..Without START can there be a FINISH for Jesus ? We are His ambassadors.A start ,a commitment ,a completion that exhibited the best that gave the best out of sincerity to what He gave Us ! His every thing !His life !His glory ,Salvation ,Victory ,Joy promise hope etc ...Eph 4:10-16, Discerning God becomes futility without commitment to God ! 1 John: 2. 28,1 Peter: 2. 25,Victory of Witnesses of Jesus Christ was commitment to Jesus Christ and his call .Daniel and his friends succeeded because of this commitment in their trials !Are we missing the commitment .Is there ever a dedication, without submission ,commitment ,decision ,discernment . God does not need your capability !He makes us capable .God needs our commitment ,which he honour with his word . Gen 15: 1-5, Gen 26: 1-5,Acts13: 22-23, John 19: 30. Life is a journey that needs to be completed ,not somehow ,not may be ,not according to whims and fancies, not according to fear, doubt ,anxiety ,not by threatening of this world .No .Its to be completed with the predestined call !ARISE SHINE.Luke 3:23. Will of God has a start.
Life has a start ,when commitment to will of God starts .Its revelation of God's glory from beginning to end.

Luke: 16. 19. There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20. And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21. And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23. And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28. For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
The pride of life acts as reason for life that urges against executing the will of God. When total helplessness comes to flesh body person ,the reason of pride of life ceases and then reason of life takes over . This cycle of pride of life is a harsh reality that a child of God faces. The prodigal son parable is a similar example . For reasoning & conviction of mind about things we fear ,hate etc...are by itself very captivating elements that pull us away or distract our attention .The children of Israel in numbers 14:1-7 is a typical example for reason of fear, taking over and controlling the mind even against a will of God .Till how long did it last ? Till the last breath of those that urged to restart a return journey back to Egypt. The will of God has a specific beginning and a specific end to be completed that demands a total submission of reason of pride of life. The reasoning should be solely based on holy spirit and pertaining to eternal life and salvation .The Holy spirit is always ready to reveal without judging .The fight against the insecurity of flesh is the main constraints that needs to be discerned .Once this is discerned, the courage, faith, trust ,the thrill of executing the will of God, the peace, joy ,happiness it brings becomes a conviction that beats every reason of pride of life brings .Life of apostles are examples of these . For pride of life is highlighted to instill fear in mind ,to create doubt in mind ,to create darkness in mind by none other than the devil. Heb 2:14-15, Heb 11:6-13. Therefore patience is enduring until this total submission of reasoning of mind due to pride of life taking its toll is God's mercy . That is displayed with hope of salvation and His will after providing everything needed to execute the will of God . 2 Pet 3: 8-16

1 Corinthians: 2. 7. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8. Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
The difference in will of God between the old testament and new testament ,is vital for transformations and why would it be so ! The old testament was revelation to mankind about God, about His will pertaining to man had to be prophesied prior to execution . Hence we have all prophets .Luke 24:44-45,Mat 26:52-54. But when it comes to the new testament ,it is all about execution of what was all ready foretold . It is revelation of prophecy in the form of light .This is very clearly revealed through Paul the apostle. This is explained by Jesus Christ in John 3:3-7 .Subject of being born again and raised to life and promise, covenant related to salvation eternal life . Eph chapter 2 and 3 offers full clarification about this subject . The reason why this distinct difference is highlighted now is with a specific reason .The transformation and related will of God in new testament is often attended with confusion or less clarity. A child of God often strives earnestly to execute the will of God in flesh, with his own wisdom in flesh ,discernment in flesh, limitation in flesh ,evaluation in flesh etc . This makes a total failure in achieving the will of God. Luke 24:45-50, Jesus had asked us to be his witness in the raised state . It is also primarily about regaining of lost glory of man . It is also about spiritual warfare ,defeat of Satan .Rev12:12 ,Rev18:1-7 ,Rev 5:1-10, Rev 22:11-17
This is related to the greatest power & the greatest wisdom required from God that is spiritual in nature to such extend that Paul describes it as , " The rulers of this world would not have crucified the Christ of glory had they discerned it . " Also this is why its reiterated that this discernment is what the eye has not seen ,ear has not heard or flesh mind could not fathom .Basically its impossible for the flesh to execute the will of God by its own self .The nature of flesh is as the nature of dust. God is spirit .
His children too are spirit .Living with God, loving God ,interaction with God is in the spirit . Praying in spirit has greatest importance in this regard .Ability to pray in tongues is a matter of submitting one's own flesh to one's own spirit when it comes to reasoning of mind and discernment .This is why a child of God needs to live no more by law but by Light . Eph 5:8
Once this matter is clearly discerned the spiritual gifts its real purpose and how to grow in it as well as faith ,its power as a matter in spirit becomes crystal clear.

Jeremiah: 17. 5. Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
A transformed mind is a possibility for God in the midst of impossibility by man by his own self.For transformed life is reality in spirit by being born again . John 3:3-7 .This born again personality starts a work ,that is result of submitted life to God and God completing His perfect will with help of holy spirit . 2 Cor 3:5-7 .The ministry of new testament. It appears to come from capability of flesh but reality is exhibition of holy spirit, revealing the will of God .This has a beginning and an end that encompasses the period of life of a child of God. Col 3:1-3,This possibility of transformation is a reality that's often looked with doubt. Reason being that, transformation is often looked in others never in oneself . Mostly the preacher boasts of others need of transformation ,as if others are bad characters ! Reality is that others are not bad at all. Both preacher as well as others have weakness, ignorance, limitation ,nature of flesh etc etc . Titus 3:3 .All are or were dead in spirit , slave to Satan .Its only by power of holy spirit and will of God ,could this transformation have a reality . Look at Joseph .Gen 45:5-7. Look at Noah .
Look at Moses . Look at Paul . Each one exhibited in their turn ,a will of God which is the real possibility of God in the midst of impossibility ,which otherwise flesh body fails to grasp or have courage to execute ! Exo 3:10-21, Gen 6:14-22, Gen45: 5-10,Joel 2: 28-32 .Exhibition of eternal love of God towards his children ,is the perfect will of God which He reveals with His power, His promise ,where the flesh body is incompetent to execute in any manner. Rom 5: 5-18, John3: 3-16, John1:11,27,33

Real vision of truth is possible in perfect strength .Which is God in spirit.In the weakness of flesh truth is a vision coloured by blindness of weakness of flesh.To each one in flesh, truth appears as personal opinion or convictions that change with time.
John: 4. 23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
1 Tim 6: 14-16,Luke12:47- 48. Who has received much ? The answer is what constitutes much ! Contents of much !
The receiving of mercy, kindness ,promises ,covenants ,will ,holy spirit ,grace ,hope , truth, election ,selection predestination ,designated instead of Jesus, to be his ambassador, to be his witness, chosen to be the royal priest ...All of above are the contents of much . As a child of God, could we refute any of above when we stand in front of the ONE who gave all these things to us and give any excuse for ignoring all of above previleges ! This life is too valuable and too much accountable .
A great audit is awaited for each moment of it spent . Rev 22: 11-20

Ephesians: 2. 10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 11. Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12. That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Revelation of truth by the holy spirit gives a conviction about others through revelation about one's own self. The transformation that one experiences in personal life is the conviction that he/she experiences about others too would surely become as well as tending to be. Like a mother knows the weakness infirmities etc ..of her child not by the current behaviour of child but by the experience she has about her own self as a child . Which is summed up in a short story
My father my hero.Which goes to explain the cyclic realization of a child as it too becomes a father and sees the whole behavioural change that happened in oneself .At the same time how as a child he was tolerated by father through all stages of growth into adult hood.Similarly he who started the good works in us will complete it unto the day of Christ is a great revelation both about oneself as well as others that makes us tolerate others with patience. Philippians 1:4-6. Similarly Paul realising his own transformation ,confesses everything about himself in one word .I am the greatest sinner whom God has saved ! If so, surely others would be transformed by the same God for sure. Therefore I can be sure about others ! So irrespective of current behaviour what others would become is a positive surety in Christ. This strengthen us to behave in a predestined manner to others in the midst of current behaviour patterns that may be tough to bear currently but with hope and patience.1 Tim 1:14-16, Ps 119: 67,72-76,100,104
To get wisdom of an old man in a younger age is revelation of truth as a conviction about others through revelation about one's own self . Which makes us tolerate others with humbleness.

1 Corinthians: 2. 14. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Doing the impossible really makes life meaningful. But what's really the impossible ? Executing the will of God upon each ones life.Which reveals the glory of God .This mission calls for courage that overpowers every doubt ,every moment,every situation.
For each situation brings with it every fear, every doubt within us to such an extent that what's put away is the true will of God.
Interaction with others out of predestined reason ignoring the perceived notion about others is truly the impossible.
When Moses was send to Egypt - he had to interact with both children of Israel as well as pharaoh not with what or how he perceived about them but based on what was revealed to him by God. Exodus 3:10-17 is really asking him to do this .
The revelation of truth has the power to convince us so much that it removes the perceived notions of every day life .Instead gives strength to act on what's revealed without any doubt.Mathew 16:21-24, Taking up the cross is this act of doing the impossible in the midst of what the weak flesh body mind thinks . When Ananias perceived about Paul everything that adds up to fear, the holy spirit revealed truth about Paul. This transformed Ananias ,which in turn made him do the impossible. Result was that the world could receive a Paul. Today our mission is to act with such courage that transforms ordinary people into a Paul.
Question --The mind is so much tossed by today's perception of current moment that even praying to God,or anything else is an impossibility. Mathew 6:31-32, John17:17-20
Without revelation of truth how can another really perceive and call out to be saved .?
Romans: 10. 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15. And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16. But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
The waiting game is over .Today is here .Tomorrow is not the point of action .Its Today.Victory is action in faith NOW.
Trust in covenant and promise.Jesus who said I will be with you till end of Age ,will never desert, for he conquered even death .
Which has roots also in law. 1 Cor 15:54--58, Hab 2: 14, Isa 11:1-11

Acts: 22. 10. And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
Clarity of what I should do is possible only when the mind is free of prejudice . Often pride and prejudice unknowingly prevent decision to act ,fearing various types of complexes. Emotional dilemma plays a great dilemma in what needs to be done.
Will l be made a scape goat.Why should I be the one to do it. As doing the will of God by the flesh body man is impossibility or nonsense. Its a conviction or realization in spirit by Spirit.
1 Corinthians: 2. 11. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
The helper reveals light that enables the spirit to execute the works of light.Mathew 5:13-14

Johny Philip
John: 1. 9. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 17. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Grace and truth . Revelation of light from grace and truth by holy spirit the helper. Jesus said in John 14:26 when holy spirit the helper comes He will teach you and make you remember every truth. Each remembrance of a word like for example the parable of the prodigal son was revealing a greater meaning ,interpretation to us that we experience a new wisdom .
This new wisdom is also bringing with it a culmination of various other previous revelations that too with such clarity and no strain . Adding various verses interconnected in such mysterious manners forms a super conclusive light . The conclusion is so mysterious and powerful that it transforms the mind to such extent that it results in total attitudinal change!. Which is developing of faith . A mind that jolts into a faithfilled state is so powerful that nothing can stop it . The power of truth is to such extent that john 1:1-4 only is what can be said about it . In the beginning the word was there. The word was light .Light shined in darkness .Darkness could not overpower light . Darkness could not overpower light.Darkness could not overpower light. Yes.!
What's the glorious meaning?
Darkness could not over power light ? Each moment, each situation we know ,depends on how we perceive with our inner mind. True. But the very same moment ,perception comes due to many reasons like --others, enemy the devil ,our own preconceived notions, our own experience of past ,our own guilt anger, hatred, fears of past , knowledge of the law from Moses. .The wrong as well as right interpretations all create a million opinions both negative as well as positive thoughts . A sum total that result in a haystack of opinions confuses or prevents the right attitude formation or faith . Resulting in a standstill condition of mind that's stuck, unable to move forward. Yes. Revelation of light enables the mind to move forward each moment . Moving forward with a mind without doubt about tomorrow but a conviction of hope .A hope that results in an action this very moment with a VICTORY not only for ME but any OTHER person to whom it is transferred to greater victory . For it is God revealing His predestined will about both Others as well as Myself. This conviction is revealed with such clarity that only a particular light gets added promoting the continuation of faith . Example Mathew 26:50. When Judas comes, only one particular conclusion comes to mind of Jesus Christ . This is that particular scripture coming true . Through its fulfilment only my path to cross will become a reality .This conviction is so important for action in each moment that leads to foundation of victory .For foundation of victory is held in faith .Faith holds it in truth .Truth is word of God.God is LOVE.In such experience of light there is no place ever to cause any fear, punishment, anger ,hatred ,envy & jealousy . But only surety in God .By God .Through God .For God .That reveals who I am ,what I am .Who Others are .What Others are .Predestined to be a vessel of God's Glory .His children .
Romans 8:29-32.Each moment the mind has to move forward . Often a thousand questions block our mind ,its consciousness into a state of mental block . Result . What difference is there between a living person and a dead person . Most state of flesh experiences conditions of death .Fear being the topper .Doubt being the runner up .Hatred being the co runner up .
Result ---Blindness in mind that prevents vision for the current moment which would have exhibited glory of God this moment .
Which can be summed up as --The joy that was in front of Him .Hebrews 12:2
Nothing can stop the mind to act !Not even death .Not even death has its power to sting !Which is law.
1 Corinthians: 15:55-58,1 John: 4:18-19, John 5: 19-24
No more CONDEMNATION. But PASSED from DEATH to LIFE.A Life of victory in everything .A life that never ever needs to doubt .Yes .You can ,Yes .I can .Get out of the mental blocks. John14: 26, Phil 4:13,19, Isa 38: 18-19

John: 15. 16. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Patience is decision to accommodate till the decided end result is achieved. A decision that is taken in the beginning.A surety that there will be no change . Irrespective of what ever be the obstacle . Never give up ever. Jesus never gave up on you or me to such an extend that he even laid down his life for you and me with joy . Even exiting himself from this world so that the holy spirit the helper could come & be the helper to such extend that by the work of the spirit ,we feel we are the ones who are living while he was the one who should have been taking the whole credit. Instead the whole glory is simply shared with us !
It was only with joy that a decision was made in the first place .Its only joy when he was suffering for you and me .Its only joy when he sees you and me exhibit fruits .Never ever coming to take away any credit . 2 Peter 3:8-14, Malachi 3:6 ,John 14:26-27, John 17: 20-26, Heb 12: 2, 2 Tim 2: 13
Matthew: 26. 34. Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 35. Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Patience is decision to accommodate each Peter .Till yield of expected result by Father is achieved to Father's satisfaction.Not to one's own self which is judgmental.And lo..We see a successful Peter .No obligations.
Romans: 13. 8. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Patience in this aspect is allowing Others to be a disciple of Christ . For which truly a great commission is set .Execute it
Leave it for God. Romans: 8. 29-39

Hebrews: 6. 12. That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Knowing God is gaining wisdom about God. Gaining wisdom about God can be in various dimensions. Like how God was with our ancestors in the past and with our Fathers today etc. But often why we fall prey to anxiety is that , the faith in God with respect to patience is least in us . What really is patience ? Its wisdom about God . How God is to us tomorrow individually.
Its conviction. Every day we face the experience of tomorrow .This ignorance about tomorrow causes anxieties to every one.
Doubt is a common phenomenon that creates every havoc in our minds leading to change in hope ,faith ,attitude, behaviour character ,decision etc . What we often try to do is like a scientist we try to find out a solution for tomorrow - Today ! Which to our surprise is always something impossible or futile exercise . Often it ends up as ....oh what a pity ...Fear ,negativity, darkness etc.......
Is there a better solution to escape this so called unexpectedness about tomorrow ?
The bible reveals - YES. It is called PATIENCE .
But what's patience ? Patience is wisdom about God on His working tomorrow.How God works tomorrow is a window to our tomorrow. This is never trying to figure out our tomorrow but this is making our mind conscious about what God will surely do with our tomorrow .Which is always According to His promises Only . Therefore the principle is throwing away anxiety about tomorrow, replacing it with God's promise is looking or viewing tomorrow with faith and promise. This is growing in patience .
Every day we need to grow in patience .Every day we are growing in patience. But tomorrow is today's battleground to enable us to be more patient . This is trusting in God for our tomorrow with respect to ourselves, with respect to others etc . Every doubt or anxiety is unexpectedness about how its going to be tomorrow ! How the other person is going to be tomorrow .How I am going to be tomorrow.How my situation is going to be tomorrow .For this ...The greatest answer is ......Tomorrow is shaped by truth that God is . God is truth . God is word. His word is truth . As Jesus said....Heavens and Earth will pass but the word of God will remain. Abraham grew in patience by this principle ! Romans 4:17-20 .God will execute his promise according to his everlasting mercy . He is executer of His promise . As he was growing in physical infirmity in terms of age along with Sarah, he strengthened himself without Doubting ! We often unknowingly strengthen ourselves in doubt about everything to such a level that
we are convinced negatively about a negative hope about ourself or about others or about situation.It has by default become a habbit like cigarette smoking. I took pride to say I had quit this habbit ! But I never realised that a greater habbit was in me !
Lacking patience that's always losing hope in everything required about tomorrow . God raised us up to life not to show his anger but to shower his love . Which he demonstrated through Jesus .We are vessels to His mercy, kindness & promise only .
Forgiven eternally . To remain as his child .To grow in son ship .Tomorrow is nothing ,but surely shaped by God's promise.
But promise about tomorrow has to be revealed by God. We often assume a promise which is often an unfair procedure leading to self righteousness.
Best example is Numbers 14:1-7.The leaders of Israel assumed a promise .Aaron assumed a false promise in creating an idol and worshipped it to ignorance. Ex 32:8-25 , Mark 14: 28-72 , Mat 16: 21-26 ,
Acts 9:13-22 .Ananias almost assumed a promise about God . But when Jesus revealed about Paul to him .He looked at tomorrow with patience, he could act today with hope, faith & trust in God with Joy .With Joy .With Joy.Hebrews 12:2
Jesus looked at tomorrow through window of patience during each occasion of his interaction . This could be seen about each disciple and himself . With respect to Judas .With respect to Peter .With respect to each one of us .Sinners ! Yet redeemed by blood. Washed by his blood .Washed by himself .Wow ! Tomorrow is nothing but a beautiful garden of splendid flowers that's consists of a glorious you, me & others in greater successful perspective .The will of God. 1 Thess 5:8-
The promise of tomorrow is revelation of today by God
Matthew: 24. 35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
John: 5. 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.

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.
Normally in working environment we try to increase what ever we strive to achieve. Like money, land ,car etc. Or if its students gather education. But with respect to human relationship there is a similar richness that can be achieved . This is living in light .
The benefit is living in faith that leads to salvation hope, courage ,victory . The very reason of breakdown of relationship is living a life ignoring light . Living a life ignoring light makes life meaningless. How ?
Isaiah 55:8,My thoughts are not your thoughts !My ways are not your ways .Which means the very reason of assumption ,imagination ,attitude that a person can take becomes an unpredictable phenomenon to such an extend that ,there is no surety whether the interaction and relationship will be a success or a breakup . Everything started for a good cause . Within a period of time the relationship becomes so meaningless that the very purpose of the interaction becomes one of hatred, anger & regret .
Its here ,God has given us his word . Malachi 3:6 .I am God who does not change .Yes.
The beauty of God's relationship with man is so eternal in nature that ignorance of man is compensated with wisdom, not through punishment or judgment but mercy and forgiveness and hope that attachs with us through Patience. Remove mercy, forgiveness, hope and patience, life becomes just a momentary interaction that perceives each moment according to each persons ignorance . Why a decision is made with respect to human relationship is a surprise to ones own self ! The best example --Paul lived a life killing disciples of Christ at one period of life ! He was unaware that his behaviour was strange . But once he started a life under light, reason of world is replaced by reason of value to person which Christ gave to each individual . He gave a price and purchased every one . Perceiving this value is adding wisdom that finds thrilling meaning to human relationship every moment .
Which is surety that even tomorrow there is hope . Eternal hope ! Tit 3:3-7 , Rev 5: 8-10, Ecc12:1-14

Luke: 3. 23. And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
Mercy makes the motivational mind to always keep asking --What more to be done better for Others ! We are mostly familiar with --What more to be done in achieving things from this world .
But to execute the will of God upon one's life we need a merciful attitude by nature ! Jesus always exhibited this merciful nature of mind . Saul's conversion to Paul is the best example . Acts 9:1-7. When Saul was under the Jewish law he could never ever show mercy to others but was always judgemental . Expecting others to act based on law . Mercy was not considered at all .
Human interaction devoid of mercy . But when he became transformed to Paul .A recipient of mercy .His mind always became available to God and man .Always asking to himself the question .What more to be done ! Acts 22:10
Human relationship strengthens with the question ---What's more to be done
Rather than -I have done enough . Still others are in the same boat ! No change at all ! Now let the other person behave in any manner. We need to forgive others unconditionally ,which is an act of mercy under the principle that its --Living under light .
Lighted to lighten . Psalms 36:9- In your light we lighten up.
Today if we ask ourselves the question --Have I intiated the will of God in my life ? When did I start the will of God upon my life ? Today with respect to the will of God upon my life what is the first priority that I aim to execute today ! What will I ask God in prayer ?
We will see an answer that surprises us . Ask Jesus what's your agenda today -He would rightly say I had started my work .
Continuing with the work i started---Focused on human relationship and interactions that leads or helps Others to grow in faith ,salvation ,hope & victory . Each day .Each day .To such extend that ,he had much interesting things to do with the disciples on daily basis both during the 3.5 years & also after being raised . Like a busy caterpillar that's continuously devouring the green leaves as if in a mad rush to complete .John 9:3-4. The great commission is entrusted to us with a mind of Christ that always looks with mercy ,not ever looking through the law to judge ,which is ministry of new covenant. The letter kills. 2 Cor 3: 5-7, Mat 5: 13-16
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.
Still more to be done ,Still more to be done ,For the saviour gave me His best ,His life !,So I live ,So others live
Free of every fear, negative darkness .

Ephesians: 2. 4. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Mercy of God is exhibited by His love. His love is revealed through His revelation .John 5:19-20 .For this He gave us not only Jesus but the helper the holy spirit . Receiving light on everyday basis is receiving mercy from God.Only with received light could we exhibit light to others .Psalms 36:9 .Daily revelation is required to complete the walk of faith for sojourners in foreign land .
1Peter 2:10-11.Its through the eyes of eternal mercy God sees us as Children who are greatly in need of His revelation . Who need to know the will of God upon our lives. Hebrews 5:12 clearly mentions about the lack of spiritual wisdom at its level.
Solid food is so much far away from us ! Interaction becomes so glorious through eyes of mercy .How much do we all interact with a little child , with an intention of giving goodness to it . Do we ever think of anything else from it ! Our mind fills with a sense of mercy towards the child because we know the child is so ignorant of wisdom that he carries .The helplessness of the child. Mercy of God is extending his glorious help in all our helplessness, which we do not know or discern .2 Cor 12:9-10
Is our mind always ready to receive mercy of the Lord ? We depend on our own assumptions, imaginations, thoughts and form an opinion about both God and others ! This is truly the test that proves how much we are ready to receive mercy from God .
John: 12. 49. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
The mercy that Jesus showed to us is also the mercy he received from God ! each moment .Receiving light each moment is having a merciful mind . Such a mind is always available to execute the will of God unconditionally. It does not ask how much has been done instead only .How much more can be done ! How much more can be done !

Matthew: 9. 36. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Exhibiting mercy by God towards mankind was out of man's ignorance ,devoid of eternal life and its wisdom . This was exhibited through Jesus and Holy spirit . Titus 3:5-6,Hebrews 4:15-16 . But the duty of each disciple of Christ is to exhibit this mercy to the sheep to which the Shepherd is send ! The concept of mercy is therefore not growth in physical wisdom but growth in spiritual wisdom of the sheep . Which is always Yet more to be grown,Yet more to be grown ,Yet more to be grown .
For the one who remains in light is Jesus Christ alone .Its after all From His light that both Shepherd and sheep receive light .
Eternal mercy is an attitude of eternal relationship towards son ship with God the father . John 5:19-20

Psalm: 103. 8. The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. 10. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. 13. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. 14. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. 15. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 16. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. 17. But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
Everlasting mercy of God is the backbone to everlasting life provided by God .Remove mercy , can anyone prove his righteousness to God . For each day of life in flesh is a revelation of various ignorance ,faithlessness that has occurred . This is understood by merciful Father ! Who see us like His son ! In fact the reality of each relationship which is termed as
Husband & Wife ,Father & mother,Brother & Sister ,In law & in law ......Etc
All are various relationships that are bound unto each other unconditional to last only by an ACT of MERCY towards one another.
Remove mercy ,the very moment these so called relationships break up instead assumptions or imaginations develop acting as a widening wedge that destroys the very meaning of human relationship . Mercy is one special nature which one should not expect from others ! But that ,which one should exhibit from one's own self always . For mercy is what each one receives from God always. Mercy is what I have to offer to others .Where my mercy ends with Others ,not only do I become judgmental of Others
,they lose their place in my mind with an Identity ! Two people can exist either with an identity or exist as strangers . What governs the relationship is mercy . Often expecting mercy from others as a mandatory rule while its not expected out of myself is the blindness of mercy . Relationship lose value .Its meaning is lost .Because we ignore the mercy of God towards us .When mercy of God is translated as mercy towards others at all dimensions and cost ,the wonderful meaning of God and people spring to life as ,Father and Son . We enjoy sonship with God through experience of His mercy ,where always our sins and inquities are never remembered.Hebrews 10:17 .Likewise a life of mercy is what's needed to maintain the relationship in its strength .Relationship is relative, if devoid of mercy .Relationship gathers wisdom in million manners only through mercy .Remove mercy, where is the need or reason to hold a relationship ? Eternal life is always meaningful when there is a reason to add wisdom to every moment of current life . Which is the real beauty of relationship .Today the greatest question that haunts is
Why relationship is meaningless .The first reason is ---Life devoid of mercy .Every relationship at its begin starts with mercy .
Gradually ,taking for granted the other person makes us stop behaving mercyfully to others. Mat 9: 36-38, Mark 6:2-4

Psalm: 30: 1-10, 10. Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper. 11. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
Mercy is the strength or backbone to every human interaction or life. Between God and man too the mercy of God always paves the foundation to relationship that lasts all the way to eternal life. For man to be with others mercy is a foundation . Mercy is the thought in mind that always understands everything as ignorance only ! When everything is understood as ignorance , like a Father -Son relationship .In other words seeing us always as little children who are ignorant . Not doing anything wrong purposely but out of ignorance. Our attitude towards any children , inspite of every wrong doings we never become agitated ,irritated or angry at them but consider them as - little children . This is mercy . But as the child grows to a particular age crossing teenage , our attitude changes and tell them to act according to their age ! You are purposely doing this which I cannot tolerate ... As they grow a little further soon the mercy component is almost gone; relationship and interaction becomes action based on wisdom and maturity ,we expect them to behave only as adult . But God does not ever see us in this manner ! Praise the Lord !
For He always sees us as the same little child who was just born . For even after fifty years he sees Peter as still the same ignorant person . Fearing ,Doubting ,Faithless ,Etc ..Still interacts with us in same manner .The wonderful relationship of Father to a Son .
Similarly we too are able to make our relationship wonderful with others through discerning this ACT of mercy of God to us through Jesus so that we too are able to tolerate others unconditionally always . One of the very reasons of relationship break down over a period of time is nothing but mercy being gradually dropped; in its place maturity and wisdom is taken as yardstick.
Then relationship tends to become judgmental . Thank you Lord for not judging me ! Thank you Lord for seeing me as a child even till my last breath .Its why you say your mercy is greater than the very eternal life. A change in our attitude to others with mercy is required, to enable us to know that ,we too need mercy really from God each second ! Otherwise we too will find ourselves trying to justify ourself with God which is always impossible! Rom 3: 10-24, Luk 23:34
James: 5. 16. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Effective reconciling of broken relationship is Changed attitude to MERCY.
Growing in mercy.God's mercy endures for ever. Relationship thins out when capability to show mercy dwindles . Which is our expectation of perfectness from others becomes the foundation rather than Mercy "\
ORTIA
The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest. It becomes
The thronèd monarch better than his crown.
His scepter shows the force of temporal power,

1 Peter: 2. 9. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10. Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
1 Peter 2:9-10 . Before and after state of being born again . Vessel of mercy of God. Mercy in all dimensions . We really need mercy from God . Realising this ,enables ourselves to show mercy to Others in likewise manner . Forgiving one another is also through mercy . Tolerating ,accepting others in their ignorance is also mercy . Without mercy, love becomes meaningless .
Interaction becomes meaningless without mercy. Faith from beginning to end is the law in new testament, yet we know fear always replaces faith . Yet God is so much merciful to us in this regard . Hebrews 3:12-13 .Even Hebrews 10:37-38 says the righteous shall live by faith . Hebrews 4:1-6, says about faithlessness etc !! Yet mercy keeps us going on . Interaction with others finds greater sense as a royal priest in the area of forgiving the faithlessness of others . Forgiving ignorance of others . Forgiving others without judging others - an act of mercy . Anxiety is a common factor to each one of us in daily life . Just a small delay in anything is enough to create doubt, fear ,changing opinion about others ! But greater is the irritation that comes to our mind !
Irritated about others ! To such extend that the very presence of another suddenly makes our hair stand up like a cat facing dog !
Why are we so much irritated . About what ? Was it ignorance ,faithlessness, character or behaviour of another in some manner ? If so , where is mercy in us ? To be a royal priest is showing mercy to others without being irritated, not as an act of pretention but as a permanent experience as each one is a vessel of mercy by God . We were saved only through mercy only ! Titus 3:3-7
​
Showing mercy is a not just a singular act but growth in spiritual nature that is unavoidable part in eternal life which is being in born again state yet remain in flesh for a temporary period of time . Which is foundation of executing the will of God in oneself ! and completing it at same time ! Jesus could find enough reason to be irritated with Peter yet Peter never felt it ever . Only encouraged.

Psalm: 40. 3. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. 4. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5. Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. 6. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 7. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 8. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 9. I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
The experience of death is discernment of realisation of own thoughts, assumption and imagination . In thoughts of death , we are slave to our own thoughts all through out life. Ruled by own thoughts .The revealer of truth is holy spirit, the helper .
Revelation of truth is starting with discernment of own state of death . John 16:8-12. The revealer the holy spirit reveals the truth about the basic aspects which govern man's thoughts about life . This culminates in finally starting to live a life based on revealed truth which is doing the will of God for which the pointer is Jesus . Believing in Jesus is equal to accepting the fact that I too have to do the will of God in My LIFETIME with my Life. For doing the will of God in my life at the current moment , truth from moment to moment is what's essential. This has to be revealed to me. Being led by holy spirit is the experience of living a life out of death ,which is being freed from slavery of all assumption of flesh character, behaviour of flesh .
The walk forward starts ! The walk forward starts ! Am I still stuck in life like still hung on the cross or have I come out of the cross ? The two sides of cross is a reality of death and life. Starting to walk forward, starts with the new side of cross relived from pit ,relieved from death . Raised from death .Being born again . John 3:3-7, 2cor.3:3-7 --Ministry of new covenant. Luke 24:44-49
Hebrews: 12. 1. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 18. For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 19. And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: 20. (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: 21. And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) 22. But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23. To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24. And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Coming to Jesus ,start with freedom from fear of death ! Living a life based on truth and faith in truth only . Which leads to justifying both oneself as well as Others ,as how God has justified through Jesus and His blood.
Interacting with others becomes a continuous process that takes a course to victory . Unable to interact with others for the course of life is a life living in fear of death as well as a life in faith of our own lies - Own thoughts and doubts only .!

John: 5. 21. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 22. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23. That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
The dead shall hear through the holy spirit.This shall lead to eternal life.This is an act of Father out of His love .Raised to life in spirit is an experience for those who discerned their spiritually dead stage . Which was the state of Sinner.After being raised to life one is no more a sinner but ignorant of light .Both carry different meaning .Ignorance is not treated with punishment or judgment or condemnation or anger.Ignorance is dealt with mercy and kindness .This is growing in light as children of light .
This is living in promise and covenant without ever a blood guiltiness. Titus 3:3-7, Heb 13: 12-15, Ps 51: 6-15 , Prov 1: 20-33, john 16: 7-24

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.
Being witness to Jesus Christ is a reality only after experience of discerning death and being raised with Jesus .For without experience of death there is no " raised with Christ part." Being raised with Christ is a thankful mind .Hopeful mind is always sure about assistance of holy spirit .For experience of death, experience of sin ,experience of fear of death, experience of salvation mercy ,kindness, all were revealed to oneself through the holy spirit. Which makes a person to be a true witness to Jesus Christ not out of flesh body reason but out of hope about oneself as well as others to such glorious level.Its such a surety ! Hope about every one with surety of God . ROM.1:16
Philippians: 4. 6. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Colossians: 3. 12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Forgiven by God has been a spiritual service . With its intention of salvation of soul eternally. Therefore forgiving others should be for the same cause that God forgave you or me .Often we tend to have a mindset to forgive for what we perceived in other's current character or behaviour that we perceived about them . This is an act done by our own wisdom or opinion or assumption that only makes it a temporary matter. The deficiency of this is that, there can be no surety of a permanent oneness . Where there is hope for one another always eternally .Where there is always faith about oneself as well as others eternally. Forgiveness of sin has been revealed by the holy spirit in the first place .John 16:8 ,This revelation through holy spirit was intended to lead to repentance as well as remission of sin . So that peace with God and reconciliation with God is achieved. Hence raised with Jesus as a child of promise - Galatians 4:28 . Where every promise and covenant becomes applicable through faith !
No more condemnation . What a glorious fearless life devoid of fear of death .Hebrews 2:14-15.This state of victory is result of unconditional forgiveness of God offerred to each one of us ! This was the leading principle to live by faith in God eternally .
Is this our concept of forgiving others ! When we say we have forgiven .When we assume we have forgiven .When we think we have forgiven does it reflect in our attitude towards others which makes others sure about sucess ! By our act of forgiveness ,our interaction encourages others with a sincere hope, love ,affection, kindness, mercy etc .Not regarded as a convict judged, condemned ,denied, seperated ,hated to such extent that I don't want to see you ever again ?
Separation becomes the attitude displayed . Jesus knew Peter would curse and swear against him . Yet being forgiven eternally Jesus encourages Peter to succeed eternally ,spiritually as well as in worldly manners.Do our forgiveness to others be an act of spiritual service that's acted upon in faith such that every Peter in our life ,experiences a hope to succeed due to our presence in their midst ! Every moment .John 21:15-18
By our forgiveness can others suceed in life with a sure hope that God forgave them? Does our attitude exhibit this dynamism about others that really exhibit an unconditional faith about them like that of the four men who carried the paralysed man to Jesus. Mark 2: 2-12,Luke 24: 46-49
Raised life forgives others, so others too experience hope and faith and salvation as a reality through our forgiveness to them with help of holy spirit .Phile: 1:10-11

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. 8. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10. Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 11. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 13. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Nicodemus even though a learned man is surprised and thinks of being born again in flesh when Jesus tells him about being born again . Jesus talks about himself being lifted up like how Moses lifted up the serpent in wilderness. But see the lack of ignorance in understanding ,"why to be born again', is misunderstood. Why is it so much misunderstood ? The spiritual death that occurred Romans 3:23-24 is not discerned which is the starting point of spiritual death . Death of spirit that occurred when man fell slave to sin . Lost glory . Became slave to Satan . Hence vessel to God's anger, condemnation and wrath . For which Jesus had to be send to save mankind for salvation . Its here the salvation becomes meaningful , forerunner to forgiveness of sin . Therefore without discerning the state of spiritual death there is no discerning of forgiveness of sin. Forgiveness of Sin is an act of God in first place .Forgiving mankind by God is totally revealed to mankind using the Jewish law and Jesus being send as end of law.
Galatians 3:23-25. Rom.10:4 .But today our concept of forgiveness of sin is a case to case subject about character or behaviour of each day , suiting mindframe of each person . Colossians 3:12-13 states to forgive one another just as God forgave . Which finds its roots in God forgiving mankind once for all. For who ever breaks one law breaks every law .Redeemed from bondage of law.Once sins are forgiven ,its thought no more. Hebrews 10:17 .But wisdom and consciousness about spiritual death about oneself is so essential to understand why or how forgiveness becomes an act of spirit rather than any act in flesh . For God forgave to make peace with himself to reconcile to himself . Has made it a permanent solution that never bothers to keep records . But today our wisdom or consciousness about spiritual death is so much lost that ,the one spiritually raised with Christ too does not connect to another, by seeing each other as forgiven by God . Which leads to judging others, that takes an escapism to lust ,for a person in many manners of this world. The result is a life devoid of hope about oneself .Devoid of hope about the other person ,A life devoid of faith for oneself ,A life devoid of faith for others .
Luke24:45-50
To be a witness of Jesus becomes a sort of drama enacted in flesh in real life .That begins with an interaction that ends within the limitations of memory of flesh, incapacity of flesh . Which further leads to disintegration of the greatest joy .Victory of each and everyone is always permanent.Col 3: 12

Matthew: 16. 21. From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Hope, faith ,salvation becomes void or broken or meaningless if wisdom about death is unclear.Death or experience of death is greatest reality yet wisdom about it is so much limited .Ignorance or fear or doubt is the only knowledge about it.
The wisdom about death in proper dimension is as important as knowing about hope, faith, salvation and forgiveness.It becomes meaningful only through wisdom about death .Capability to forgive is based on wisdom of death.
Wisdom about death .Life before and after death .Physical, spiritual death . Relationship between death and life after death.

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. -
Interacting with God is possible only in faith . Without hope there is no faith .Hebrews 11:1-2 .Interaction with fellow human beings is also in hope and faith about what God has predestined and promised . Paul's interaction with gentiles as in ephasians 3:3-8 clearly states he has the hope and faith in gentiles too being saved and joined to the same treeline of Abraham.
Which is his hope and faith in gentiles . Interaction with hope and faith about fellow human beings is Love . Interaction without hope and faith about fellow human beings is LUST. Passion of what's passing by contains no hope or faith .That's why lust is having a short lifespan .But love based interaction which finds substance in hope and faith is able to endure the ignorance and weakness. Which is the new law of Love. If hope and faith about fellow human beings is lost or is not there then the interaction is only just worldly and it does not mean anything with salvation of Soul. For hope and faith is all about salvation of Soul with eternal life , God being cherished .! John 3:16-21. Judging others is another form of lust that proves there was no hope or faith in fellow human beings but just a passion of passing by nature . John 12: 47-50, Eph 3: 2-21, Tit 3: 3-7

Hebrews: 12. 18. For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 19. And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: 20. (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: 21. And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) 22. But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23. To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, -
Salvation is not only God bringing us out of the PIT in every manner but giving us the unconditional permission, sanction to approach HIM who lives in LIGHT who is the KING OF KINGS who is the LORD OF LORD. Who reigns eternally. Whose kingdom is eternal . How God has given us the sanction to approach ?
Initially when the law was there breaking of law led to death, punishment ,curse ,separation & fear of death .Through Jesus Christ who came as end of law .ROM 10:4. He abolished the first to establish the second and made peace with God and man.
Hebrews 10:5-17. Eph.2:14-19. Without bloodguiltiness we can approach God.Meaning is great ! God will never ever be irritated ,scorning ,abusing you or me.Never considers you inferior in any manner. Only considers you with what he has already predestined in you. To be same as His only begotten son Jesus Christ .Sharing the same glory .Called to REIGN with him .
Well this calls for not only God interacting with man but Man interacting with God . Interacting with God is not possible without Faith . Seems surprised? Hebrews 11:4-6 , Mark 11:23-24 , Galatians 3:22-29
Hence interaction with God is by itself an act of faith . ROM 10:14-17
Interacting with God requires a faith to accept what God has promised ,not trying to assume whether he will give or not or due to any of our whims or fancies . God is provider to everything he has promised .Therefore Paul said .Go to Him only with thanks and praises.Stop asking to give ! Its already given . Start thanking him .This calls for faith .This calls for faith in interaction with God .Phili: 4:4-9
What happens when approaching God with doubt ?
The Hope component of salvation is left out instead only the perception of past and current remain in our mind .Where life is moving each day one step closer to God !Therefore we are growing to greater level of what is hoped for through His promise .
Hence approaching God without faith is equal to approaching God without Hope.For its Hope that made Abraham have faith in God. Rom 4: 17-25 . To rekindle hope the helper the holy spirit is given to assist us to remember the light and wisdom. John 14: 26-31

2 Corinthians: 8. 9. For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. -
The real poverty is not having anything to give , anything to offer back ! When God gave his best ,not for a moment but for eternity we need to realise we are blessed eternally.Then comes the question what do I have to offer ! Still is it my ignorance to offer ? The life of Paul is the best example. Acts 20:20. Giving the best to God is giving the best to Others .Giving the best to others is often misconstrued as giving opinions , doubts ,suspicion ,assumption ,opinion & imagination etc . This is what we often give to others in our common every day interaction .The result --We do not bother to check what our interaction resulted in Others . Often we are concerned about our personal goodness only.Little do we realise, giving our best to others in form of wisdom, light, truth releases the bondage of this moment. Its this that God has instilled in us .Removed the poverty and replaced with abundance to such a mighty level that poverty of others is seen with kindness ,mercy and need to give what ever is lacking in its place ! What's lacking ? Nothing but ignorance.Each one of us is facing life, living life . What do we still demand from God and others ! Living in a state of eternal demand rather than living in a state of giving--Inspiration,Motivation,Thrill, lead others to victory. Acts: 9. 1. And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2. And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
Little did Paul know he was living a life that demanded prefect wisdom from others because of which he was always judging others by the Jewish law he gained . Even today this is the truth .When the change occurred to Paul he became a giver than a demanding person . No one wants a demanding person but a giving person . What happens if we have something to give today and tomorrow we have nothing to give ! We start to become demanding , judgmental of what we gave !
Instead if everyday day we have something new to be given would we ever bother to judge based on what we gave yesterday ? No . Never. Jesus always had so much to give ,he was thrilled at giving, not wasting time to see how it is used by recipient.
For giving is what rekindles, recharges, as life does not move backwards but only forwards ! Do I have anything to give in ignorance of others ?What's today's ignorance ?Fear ,anxiety, hatred ,malice .... Can I offer something in its place that can release others.That's abundance of LIGHT. The light you and me are recreated designed for . A life of good deeds.Acts 20:20

Psalm: 51. 12. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15. O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
The joy of salvation, the permanent experience of inner healing . Normal concept of sickness is related to various infirmities related to flesh . Real sickness is not the infirmity of flesh but an unhealed mind. Unhealed mind is devoid of joy of salvation .
A mind devoid of salvation always tries to find peace, not living in peace . Living in peace and trying to find peace are two different experiences . The prodigal son experienced inner healing which was joy of salvation which made him live at peace !
The state of living at peace always result in reunion with Father. For there is no peace without reunion with Father. Reunion with Father ,becoming one with Father is experience of truly becoming a Son. ROM 8:14-17. Every moment the healed mind is full of joy of salvation to such extend that things provided by Father becomes discerned while worry about the things vanishes . Mathew 6:31-32. Instead seeking the kingdom of God becomes a Motive without doubt . There is such expectation of victory with surety that the mind has no time to think about what's provided . Instead it occupies solely with will of God . In which the mind is never bothered or concerned about life like before . Meaning ,reasons of safety , security is a thing of past ! Its taken for granted that my Life is secure in the hands of my Saviour . Looking at situation is not anymore like how others behave or why others behave like this or like that , but instead--- what is there to OFFER! Always there is something to OFFER - the best in You .
Which is best from God ! Which is revelation of Light . Mathew 5:13-14 . Always exhibiting light in midst of darkness ..
Result ---A greater victory than what the flesh body can ever ever ever conceive ! 1Cor 2:7-9
Often pride in flesh tends to think conditions of flesh as greatest inspirations . But unimaginable , unfathomable is inner healing of mind that discerns victory in everything, everywhere , in anything with everyone not for a week, a month, or a year but a lasting experience that grows into unimaginable reality . That's eternal hope .A joy of being one .A joy of being one . John 17:22-23
That offers best in spirit continuously .Which is sure ,that there is a best to be offered in spirit eternally. Often in relationship the most pathetic pitiable fact is --Not knowing what to offer . May be to a guest we can give a good lunch . After that what do we have to offer . Gave water to drink . After what do we have to offer . Gave dress .. After that, what we have to give ?
It is like a blown fuse . I don't have anything to offer ! This is the pathetic state of flesh body realm . Its here the state of joy of salvation bubbles out the Streams of life giving waters ! That sees a victory in everything . Always . ps 51: 12-15
Isaiah: 35. 6. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. 7. And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. 8. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. 9. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: 10. And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. -
There is always no dearth to the best in you that can be offered to God and man each moment . The poverty is gone , replaced with abundance .The mental block of why should I or will it work or doubts ,suspicion vanish .Its replaced with only sincerity .
There is no time to ponder .Only looking forward ahead .Seeing in others not a Peter of yesterday and today but a Peter of tomorrow . Mat 16: 18-19

Isaiah: 35. 5. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. -
The experience of salvation is such an experience of joy . Its irrespective of current moment ,situation, character, behaviour for its total confidence and trust in God that leads to a STATE OF INNER PEACE ; gone for ever is power of sin which is every fear anger, hatred, envy, jealousy ,malice to oneself, to others & to God once for all ! Psalms 51:3
Declares Joy of salvation that's not a temporary state but a permanent state that is with such a surety that hope remains unbroken .
Hebrews 10:17 ,There is no more reason .There is no more reason .There is no more reason .To think negative .To think negative
To think negative .Then reason remains only for - surety about what Holy spirit reveals .
Then the deaf ,The dumb .Shall sing in wilderness .Streams of life giving waters shall flow that is a continuous state .For salvation has been restored to me .Salvation has been restored .The teeth of enemy has been destroyed .The power of death removed from me .The power of sin removed from me .No more sin has power over me !The inner healing that is a requirement that God wanted His children to experience . That is a life free of regret eternally ! That is a life free of regret eternally.
What does this amount to ? Truly a life that looks at every moment .Every interaction with such a purpose of making ---Word come true .Word come true .No better reason . Therefore one declares with boldness only what's revealed not assumption, opinion ,imagination those are nothing but unreal or untrue or hypothetical.Which are never the truth .
Jesus never put His mind to such . Why inspite of the cross ! For the joy of salvation , the result was so great and powerful.
Hebrews 12:2 .Consistent faith requires this joy of salvation to be experienced. This joy results in inner healing. Inner healing is the real healing that's required .Greatest healing is the inner healing of mind which results in a life of action in faith !Marching forward .Not according to this world but breaking every challenge of WEAKNESS. Gaining every strength in the most weakest moments of Life .And being sure that when ever I am weak ,I will be strengthened.I will not Fall.Yes .Will be never allowed to fall.
Only Succeed.Only succeed.This success is100% even in death or about death , the Joy of salvation . 1 Cor 15: 55-58, Heb 10: 8-24, Ps 51: 12-19.
Ps 51: 4. The inner healing , the prodigal son received led him to reunite with the father. There is a joy in his mind. He was lost, but found. Was dead but now alive. Living with Father . Living with Fathers servants. Full of joy. Being saved. Joy of salvation. Luke 15: 17-24

1 Peter: 1. 9. Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. -
Growing in salvation is living a life of faith from beginning to end ! Hebrews 10:38,Hebrews 4:1-3
As salvation has certain sureties of which one is Salvation of Soul. The other being Eternal Life . These two being objectivity set by God included in His will upon each one of us. Realising these two ,accepting these two sureties makes the will of God upon us such a glorious phenomenon.Which is knowing how blessed we are, to have become a child of Promise . Galatians 4:28
A life that is shaped with clear purpose ,agenda, intention by God the Father out of His Love not out of Anger .A peace that was established which has only the objective of exhibiting His Love ! Exhibiting His Love ! Exhibiting His Love !. 1 Thess.5:8-9
That's why Jesus was never ever , even for a second had any worry about the will of God upon His Life even though its contents were Mathew 16:21. Leading to cross ! Likewise the will of God upon our life is sharing a life with Jesus, the love of Father .
Romans 8:17 ,John 5:19-20. In essence it results in a life that's growing in righteousness on everyday basis.
Question ,Is there a specific growth in spiritual wisdom targeted for each one of us ?
Answer is 100% yes.! Ignoring this ,rejecting this results in EVERY CONFUSION in LIFE. Just like the rulers of this world ,would not have crucified the Lord of glory .1Cor.2:7-9. They could not understand what Jesus was doing ! Why He was doing !His objective each second ! John 17:7-8, I gave them your word ! Hearing this word is resulting pointer to Faith . Romans 10:14-17
Hebrews 12:2-3,How can those who are scheduled to be saved - be saved without hearing ?
Hearing the truth ! John 17:14-17. Therefore a life with such situations that make us exclaim the truth is the will of God. Which is assisted by holy spirit and gift of Holy spirit both of which are not simply invested upon us ,that can be treated as less important !
Its like a the prodigal son saying frivolously ," if I get my father's property its possible for me to live successfully."
In fact we are also of this attitude or mentality . That's why each moment we are quite free in mind we tend to take life as how we desire ,we like .Lazy ,sluggard, fearful thinking can be lived without faith .It can be lived with my own assumption, opinion etc !!!....Rom 6:20-23, 1Thess 5:9-28,Rom 12:2-21

Hebrews: 4. 15. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. -
Growing in salvation results in we ourselves becoming vessels of mercy . To become more of a vessel of mercy we have to exhibit the grace that we received ourselves . The grace that we received have been the experience of peace that we received .
Ephs 2:14-19 .The peace with God ! Becoming one with God . Becoming one with God is becoming one with man .
Becoming one with man is surety of a relationship that grows in wisdom not in ignorance. Often relationships are tried to be maintained under attitude of ignorance . This attitude of ignorance is reason of flesh body realm in every situation .
Mathew 22:23-30 . Ignorance of spiritual wisdom leads to fear of death ruling or preventing interaction . If the attitude of interaction is salvation then like Jesus we too are free to accept others not because of social customs or practices ,but of spiritual reasons . Like how Christ accepted us . Eph 2:1-9

1 Peter: 2. 1. Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3. If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 4. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. -
​
Growing in salvation. 1 Peter 2:1-5.Salvation is a known term. For to many of us ,it is a known experience. To many ,it is an unknown phenomenon to such an extend that, its just an assumption . Just being born into a christian family, salvation is not automatic.Yet what is salvation all about in reality ? What it is to be saved ? Am I saved ? If I am saved what are the experiences I encounter . What are the experiences of the past that I left . What new life do I live ! Saved life from what ?
These are points to start with . Firstly growing in salvation . What's there to grow in salvation ? Growth in salvation starts with a life without anger, envy, jealousy ,hatred to one another ,also to oneself as well as to life and situation .When ever we experience this, we are ignorant of salvation in this particular manner . Before the experience of salvation our attitude was like what is it even if I get angry ,envious , jealous, hate ...It is true .
But after the experience of salvation to every situation there is hope, personally about oneself & also about others to such level that infinitely a hope thread line is there in one's mind that never ceases or needs to be recreated . Often when we face life ,people etc .Everything goes in a cycle of make and break relationships for example.., if reviewed between people we can see its a make and break story . Never being sure when it breaks or when it is going to be reconstructed etc. How many times do I have to undergo this . Why should life be like this .Such a cycle ! Of make and break .In a saved attitude, relationship is made with a permanent reason ,hope, faith that's executed not due to reason of human reason ,nature, behaviour ,situation but based on Gods reason .His will promise, covenant, grace, holy spirit .In such relationship Jesus Christ bodily says,I will be with you till end of age with such courage . Its not a relationship based on law that judges to find reason to stay related by ones own standard but based on saved by Grace ! ! Not on my merit .Not by merit of others . Saved by grace ! This experience of salvation does not have reason to break relationships. Relationship in unbroken confidence is the foundation stone of life ! After all what's the objectivity of a small life that vanishes in a moment, leaving just a residual legacy ! Cherished what . Running after what ! Achieved what ! Losing what .Various examples about this is defined as parables in bible by Jesus with respect to kingdom of God. Does malice enslave us to continue with a relationship ? Hatred prohibits to continue with a relationship .Does salvation and its wisdom come in to our mind as a victory to break this barrier and rekindle a relationship or am I still on a waiting game that doubts wether I will be a looser or was I running ,trying to grasp on to a meaningless relationship . At no point Jesus ever felt he made a wasted meaningless relationship with Peter .He never found any reason to break relationship with Peter ! Always Peter was sure he could come to Jesus . Its the throne of grace . Relationships are permanent in throne of grace . Each time we go to throne of grace we are growing in salvation to such an extend that we see others like us in what ever be our weakness that was forgiven or accommodated . This is one side of growing in salvation . Heb 4: 15-16

Matthew: 16. 24. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. -
The action in faith required in kingdom of God is in the midst of every impossibility. This is termed the cross ! One must carry .
We need not hunt after it . It is created by God as everyday situation that we encounter. Inside it ,acting with surety that this moment ,this day is creation of God through His promise ,covenant, grace and assisted by holy spirit . This results in God exhibiting his power which is revealing God's glory ! Whenever ,wherever God's glory is revealed it results in faith ! Being formed or rekindled.,Look at life of moses Joshua etc ...... Each day incidents were so impossible situations ! But how did they encounter it ? By what was promised . An action based on promise of God . An action based on covenant of God . Further this was assisted by grace and revealed by holy spirit . Walking into the unknown ! Often what happens ? Once we get a victory ,we tend to expect repetition of same victory . Like yesterday we sold tomatoes and we got good profit ! Today too we expect the same to happen .! Nothing wrong in it. But it does not happen like that . Every day many things are grossly different .The people with whom we interact are never the same .So what really matters ! Its not the tomatoes ! Its the people with whom we interact that matter ! So how does this play an important role ? The will of God is hidden in this interaction . What's most important is our interaction with others each moment . This is the key to faith with action . Interaction with God and interaction with man are the key elements of today ,were today's victory lies . Who can predict why two people met yesterday .
Why the same people met today . Why the same meet tomorrow. Why the same may meet after one week . In each interaction we often think of it only in terms of some worldly physical purposes ! However its here the key is hidden . In the interaction of yesterday today tomorrow future only one thing matters- Its objective is glory of God leading to salvation . Hebrews 2:10 -15
This was clearly visible in every day life of Jesus . Heb 12: 2-3. Meditating upon the cross is also relating to the cross of human interaction that each one has to act in faith that reveals glory of God each moment . Heb 10: 38-39

James: 2. 20. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21. Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? -
The wonderful result of Acting in Faith ! Acting in faith must be seen more than a law!For through hope which leads to faith which further leads to ACTION ,the result is really VICTORY. For the victory is promise of the LORD. Mathew 21:28-31 is an example Jesus illustrated to prove the point .Challenge to life is an elixir to prove we are ALIVE. Raised with Christ is not a life of inaction but a life full of action in the kingdom of God related to kingdom of God . Just like the life of Noah & following generation onwards each of their life was not idle but ACTION PACKED .Our life too is designed action packed .
John 9:3-4 .No moment is to be without purpose . Like the life of Jesus ,ours too is predestined . To help this further to make it more thrilling is God's plan .For Jesus said in his own words .Those who belive in me will do even greater things ! Without situation or challenge in life, How can we do greater things ! We are thrilled ,motivated ,inspired by those characters in bible who achieved great things through bold action which was result of FAITH in ACTION! But little do we bother to think how challenging the situation was . To such an extend that its almost like do or die or with no other option .Either be active or be inactive . Joshua could either walk through the flooded Jordan or opt out .The result is simply unimaginable ! 1 Peter 4:12
Boldly encourages each one of us to enter into a life of ACTION that is hope based, faithfilled ,assisted by holy spirit consistently .Never giving up.For the totality is --A life package of victory already executed by Jesus .Only difference is instead of Jesus we are the substituted ones . 2 cor.5:19-21.Rom.8:30-37 .Victorious in everything . Hebrews 12:3-4
Never have to faint in heart . We really need to be thrilled at each fiery test rather than fearing it or pulling out with our own human wisdom and with the fear and doubt it brings ! The life of disciples was equally challenging ,that is the solid reason we meditate upon their lives every day ! Let today appear initially with unbearable situation ! According to Us .
But to God it is nothing but his manner of revealing His glory . Never doubt Never doubt Never doubt .Doubt is greatest fear
Fear is greatest lie .In what we fear lies life changing glorious victory .A race already won .The end of the tunnel .The substance of what's hoped for . Protected by God's own promise and covenant .What greater COVERAGE is required to an individual's LIFE.Nothing is a barrier !Only TODAY Only NOW Only THIS moment .Its often our mental blocks of our own thinking, what if ..................What if ...........Never !
Jesus never had to run away, escape ,fear but reign in life ! We are called to reign in each moment .This moment .Its a lottery that's won ! If there is a challenge today, its a golden opportunity. Never let it pass .We never have to hunt " Its right in front of us ! The challenge that's most dominating is the challenge that brings with it greatest glory ,victory, reward, joy & happiness.
What's hoped for . And what is that challenge ? Mathew 16:24 If anyone wish to follow me ..Let him take up his own cross and follow me .

Hebrews: 11. 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. -
Hope leads to faith ! Faith leads to Glory of God . John 11:40 .If you believe you will see the glory of God.
But after believe what ! Mathew 21:28-41. The parable of A Father and two sons.Where one does the will of father while the other says he will do but shies away ! Faith without works is dead faith . James 2:14- 22. Executing the will of God amounts to acting in FAITH. When the Action in faith is continuously executed ,be sure we are moving one step closer to what is HOPED for ! Always what is hoped for is surety by promise of God. ROM .4:19-25, Abraham believed and it was counted as righteousness for him . What did Abraham do ? Each day trying to see what he has to do ! Two things . One -- Praising God for He is the executer . Two -- accepting the fact about what God has promised is what's bound to happen not what He thinks imagines or assumes ! Rekindling faith each day so we move one step closer to Glory of God.

Malachi: 3. 15. And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. 16. Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. -
Discerning the spiritual gift enables a person to execute the will of God .Executing the will of God is legacy to eternity.
Example.Luke 24:44-45.The foundation to Jesus earthly ministry is based on those scriptures foretold by God through Moses, David ,Prophets . The salvation of gentiles is the revelation revealed through Paul the Apostle.Eph.3:3-7
Each word of God revealed for the purpose of God that transforms faith in others is service to God. John 17:17-20 .I pray not only for them but for those who believe in me through them. Romans 10:14-17 .Without hearing how can someone believe ?
Without believing how can someone pray to be saved .Without being send out how can someone preach .On the coming of Jesus this will be the added wealth of eternal hope ! Daniel 12:2-4, This moment is created for the scripture to come true through you and me ! Mathew 26:54-56,Which scripture ! Galatians 4:28 -You are child of promise !
Romans 8:29-32 .Made to reveal the glory of God so even without your knowledge, through you many are motivated, inspired to salvation ,eternal life not just by deeds but a deed exhibiting the word .
John 17:8-9 I gave them the word you gave me .Every word that I gave them is yours .Being a spiritual personality enables one to remain in who one really is from beginning to end . Without being tossed by variations of this world.God can use a person to His purpose like Philip being send to eunuch . Who you are, what you are ,where you are does not matter ! No physical situation can enslave you ! See, Moses was send by God ! He never was worried about the situation ! Instead, the situation was made to suitable by God to reveal His presence in wilderness. 1 Peter 2:10-11 ,Increasing in hope adds to the execution of God's will . Executing the will of God is discerned by spirit vide promise of God through holy Spirit . Its for this cause one is called ! Eph.1:14-17 .Executing this great deed adds to the number of generation being completed like the link to next generation . Yes ! We become the window to see the past as well as the future for what God of glory has willed in His love and eternal wisdom ! Isaiah 41:4/10/21, Isaiah 42:6-8 ,Revelation 3:1-3 .See even John being send to island of Patmos carried such a blessing only because of the revelation of word that came to him which he was humble enough to reveal. Instead of doubting it or hiding it ! What a legacy we have through life of Moses ! The five books from Genesis ! The life of Apostles were such a blessing ! Due to the word that came as wisdom and light , a blessing to us ! Each moment of our life is word coming to Light for we are children of light . Eph 5:8-10,Mathew 5:13-14,Called to be a blessing by being what is hoped for !
What do we leave behind that does not PASS AWAY ! That does not Tarnish ! That's not stolen by robbers, eaten by worms ! Mat 6: 19- 33

1 Corinthians: 12. 27. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. -
Spiritual gifts are given to each one of us with the special purpose of exercising it growing in it becoming the body of Christ through which all find a particular reason to associate together . Just like in a village everyone needs a carpenter, ironsmith farmer, teacher ,etc . Everyone is needed by the other . No one is a NOBODY! Everyone matters to the effective functioning of the village .Everyone matters to the village so that everyone is equally needed by the OTHER. One of the greatest issues in human interaction is if a person has a particular talent or profession which is not needed ! Imagine the pity this will create ,the imbalance this will create ,as if the person is an inferior character with respect to others in society ! Today this is why all parents think children should be only doctors ,engineers , chartered accountants ,MBA etc etc .Conforming to some worldly pattern that results in many sort of complexes .Inferiority or superiority complex . God has by His own wisdom decided a person to be an apostle, prophet etc ... So no one should boast or feel puffed up about their calling but equally respectful about the gift of the other as the gift of the other is unavoidable. Like can eye say to nose you are less important ! So you serve me when I don't need you or your service . Or if the eye says to nose when I want to smell something I will try to smell using my own capability of vision ! Not only its impossible but its an attitude that alienates one from the other . Can the the eye put a conditional behaviour to the nose ! How would then the total body function ? God in his great wisdom has made each one of us blessed with such a spiritual talent that each one becomes a mysterious necessity to the other unconditionally without pride or prejudice . There is no retirement .There is no Sunday, Monday Overtime etc .Always in use .Nothing called breadwinner
Nothing called one is more important than the other ! Caretaker and priest and choir and bishop all are equal in eyes of God !
All elected have same importance by God for existence and harmony.Like the flowing river .Well, the spiritual gifts are to be discerned , grow in it . Its the holy spirit who assists in ordaining us as a particular type of minister . Once a person is a prophet then you are a prophet for the rest of your life irrespective of physically what ever you are or situation you are in or what ever job you are in or whether you are a husband or wife or brother or father or anything and even if one remains as a prophet after marriage if the calling is so ! Often a meaninglessness is playing in society because the spiritual gifts are not discerned ,used & accepted ! Actually life becomes harmonious if attitude to spiritual gifts are accepted .Society does not have to reject any one in any manner !There is no thing called losing a job or job security . Moses did not loose job ! Paul did not loose job.
Each moment every second is so useful. Put to use by God . Their life is such a blessing to God and man as a whole ! What a legacy ! Even when environment changes due to any physical reason ,the spiritual existence blends with society in such nature that YOU are wanted in society ! EQUALLY both by God and MAN. God does not repent about his call about you or me !
Once you are a prophet you are so by God .This is the predestined call of God ! Rom 11: 29, Rom 8: 28-39, Prov 3: 4-17

Hebrews: 11. 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. -
Hope is to be understood in the way God hopes. In 1Samuel 16:1-2 we see it is God who hopes firstly to select David as king.Similarly God has hope about each of his children . To establish it ,he made covenant with each one of us through Jesus Christ .The depth of these covenant is revealed to us through holy spirit.To reveal it ,the holy spirit is send to each one of us therefore its so important to interact with the holy spirit to know who we are .Knowing that makes us discern the meaning ,purpose of each situation with such clarity that we would one's for all stop trying to create situation ! Trying to create situation is in other words waiting for something to happen ! Which really makes us redundant as of THIS MOMENT. Acting in THIS MOMENT is responding to blessing to which we are called for .The life of Abraham ,Issac & Jacob is all story of acting in this moment or responding to this moment. The greatest opportunity to life is hidden in THIS MOMENT. It is nothing but God's Glory .John 2:1-11.The marriage at Cana is an example of this . Jesus responded to this moment .Mathew 26:50
Responding to this moment is not running away or hating or not fearing situation but acting in courage in a manner that respects who you are ! Through God . You are predestined by God to be such a glorious personality .Situation is created purposely for THAT. Never have to create situation .Response to situation is what's needed.To respond, help of holy spirit is essential.Its here we fail miserably.ook at how Samuel the prophet failed when trying to respond to situation on his own
1 Samuel 16:7-8. Numbers 14:1-7,Acts 9:13-17 .These are all examples of missing the blessing of this moment !
Revelation is what's needed rather than experiments ! Just like the saying ,we never need to reinvent the wheel ! Its made picture perfect for you and me in such glorious manner We need to just acknowledge this FACT. Noah did not have to create !
Instead he had to respond .Responding continuously to who YOU ARE with surety is need of hour.Often what happens is we change our attitude about who we are to such an extend that each day in morning we have so many hopes ,plans, desires & decisions .By afternoon we notice everything has changed ! After a week of starting to do something we ourselves put a full stop only to start something new ! Like taking up a job after job every now & then. There is no consistency !Discerning who we are starts with consistency of behaviour which starts gradually but definite growth to the greatest stature ! In LIFE.
We are at no one's mercy . Its God's free gift .Taking the decision ,accepting this fact is MOST important .Look at NOAH .
From the day he started ,behaved as a consistent personality . Look at Moses ! Look at prophets ! Look at all great people who have made a mark . They remained oriented to a personality that they think they are ! Proverb 4:21
You are shaped by How YOU THINK. Whom did you think you were one year back ! Half year back ! Quarter year back !
One month back ! One week back ! One day back ! Today ! This MOMENT !
Notice anything ! Never doubt who you are !You are not at All a nobody . Predestined ! BY GOD .

Hebrews: 11. 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. -
Relationship between Hope and blessing of God. How hope itself is a great blessing given to us by God.
There is truly an amazing relationship between Hope and blessing . Each moment we pass through infinite blessings, that are opportunities in disguise . But often due to lack of consciousness about what we really hope for, blessing vide opportunities goes past us unnoticed . Either we realise it a little late by then it has slipped & passed us. But to our dismay we might even say Oh ! I missed it.
Mathew 25 .The ten virgins ,the servants with 5/2/1 talents .The rich man who only tried to increase his barn in Luke12:18-21.Numbers 14:1-7 .The children of Israel and the ten leaders who spied the Land of Canaan are all examples of missed opportunities or blessings of God in various dimensions. Before going into its details let's see what really is HOPE !
Hope is the surety ,the substance of what we really need as END POINT both in this world as well as eternally . The importance of Hope is so much ,that without hope every blessing ,every opportunity ,every promise of God ,every covenant of God remain meaningless . The moment we become conscious about what we hope for with PERMANENT PRIORITY, each moment becomes a myriad of blessings vide opportunities.That are to be attended, that are to be discerned.That are to be encountered with faith and courage .One simple fact about hope is realising who a person is by God which sets a joy, sets a reason for each moment . Jesus Christ reveals this himself to us. Mathew 16:15-21.He goes on to ask the disciples," Whom do you think I am ." Peter says you are Son of the most high. Jesus confirms it .But goes on to say by virtue of He being so & what he hopes for .To do the specific will of Father . Hebrews 10:5-8.This consciousness about hope of giving salvation is assisted and revealed by the holy spirit Acts 10:38.
Greatest meaning. So much that each moment Jesus goes on to say this happened ,This happened ,This happened !
For this particular scripture to be fullfilled. Even when in Mathew 26:50 .When Judas comes, notice how with such a right attitude Jesus reacts to the opportunity with such immediate response ,discerning its true purpose, meaning with courage faith with no doubt at all ! Further the opportunity is not wasted ,left idle or never allowed to PASS BY!
He is a child of promise of God . We too are children of promise .We became children of God not by our MERIT but by God's. So like Jesus we too are having a will of God upon our life . It is so glorious .It is so glorious .It is so glorious that it is made specifically for each one of us ! It is made specifically to each one of us .See when Samuel the prophet was send to house of Jesse to select, annoint David (1samuel 16:1-20), we see the will of God upon David to be King of Israel was decision of God not prophet .This is the greatest realisation that David ought to have in his life for the rest of His life. There is nothing better than this, that can happen ,will happen ,would happen. Lamentation 3:37 .Each moment of David is specifically created with such care by God , so he progress to be nothing else but KING. Then why was it revealed to him by God through the prophet ! So that David can Hope for ,with such surety . Come what may, each situation he passes through is filled only with specific reason . He is to be transformed into being a king . Become king .Be a king for a specific purpose .
Rule Israel according to purpose of God .Doing anything else ,desiring anything else, may appear pleasing ,better etc but be sure God did not simply send a bear or a lion into his life . God did not make him confront with a Goliath simply . God did not simply send a Samuel into his life ,while he was in the forest living the life of a Shepherd boy . In fact David cannot ever afford to miss a minute opportunity . Missing means leaving unattended or being careless to it .Or interpreting it by his personal liking. No . He was anointed specifically by Samuel under direct instruction from God .
ROM .8:29-32
Each one of US is no different . But what do we hope to become ! How much are we conscious about it each moment .Are we sure about it .Is our future SURE by a blessing, covenant ,hope in Christ ! Should we EVER doubt ? Can we simply look at this moment with such unimportantance, doubtfully fearing, hating ,regretting as if now is not the time "
We need to wait for something to happen . The three servants who received talents .All received talents of equal grade .
But what inspired the first two to trade and increase it .They had a hope behind receiving the talent.This made them look at each moment as an opportunity to use their talent . But what about the one talent person !He did not have a HOPE at all.
Result --Talent was there .Current moment was looked with regret, blaming, hating, fearing ,anger at everything & everybody even towards his master who gave him the talent .Yes God our master gave us a talent so we REIGN . Genisis 1:26-27
God bless You ! Today ! For specifically who you are in Christ without any doubt . May holy spirit reveal who you are .
Never loose this hope ever .This is the KEY to discerning this moment, acting in this moment .With faith joy happiness courage !

Proverbs: 9. 10. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. -
The greatest blessing is discerning the ignorance that we are in each moment. When we realize the ignorance, an attitude to gain wisdom in each moment is craved. With respect to life this is of very great importance.We have been blessed by God to unlimited level. But most often blessings pass by us unnoticed . Only after a period of time we realise this fact. Which by then is equal to a lost opportunity. The various dimensions of this is given in bible . The rich man who made a new barn till end of his life .Luke 12:21-22 .The wise and foolish virgins .The servant who went to the vineyard to do the will of his father . Missing the moment to execute the will of God is twist to love of God.Often our attitude determines the nature to interact . Having a spiritual nature is very important to execute will of God .With respect to blessing this goes a long way .Blessing is related so much to wisdom .In numbers 14:1-7.We see the ten leaders missing the greatest blessing which was the promise of the Lord to them.
Hebrews 4:1-2. Describes this with respect to us.Often its ignorance and relying on our own wisdom and reasoning that leads to missing a blessing of God . Solution is never ever be of an attitude we know of or we have nothing more to know.
Like Paul .I am only trying to grasp the archive of your wisdom .For which I ignore everything I gained so far , consider it as rags! Phil 3: 7-14, Mat 25: 1-36, Luke 12: 16-21

Matthew: 26. 54. But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? 55. In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. 56. But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled. -
Since blessings are eternal in nature ,certain unexpected things that are unnatural which happens in our lives are surely part of blessing . It is meant for creating great motivation ,inspiration for Others . Even we may not know it .It may not be discerned.
1 Peter 4:12-19. It may be a mysterious manner through which God connects you to another person to reveal His word.
See how Philipose was send to the eunuch . How Peter was send to Cornelius , where not only gentiles were saved but his ignorance about his attitude to gentiles was revealed .Expect the many things that happen in our daily life are blessing in disguise. Life of Joseph . He was thrown in the well ,sold as slave ,put in jail etc .all for such beautiful purposes that inspire ,motivate, revealing God. The life of Moses from beginning till the burning bush was so much of chaos only to prove the great purpose God had for it. The life of Mary, Joseph .The life of Sara, Rebecca is another example .They were barren.To prove Galatians 4:28 it was essential for God to do it that way. The life of Hagar and Ismael is such an inspiration! Our lives too are inspirational, motivational to Others ,not only through word we preach , but through character or behaviour we exhibit & also to a greater extend the course of our life in a mysterious manner. Blessings in such manner even though initially not discerned is the greatest blessing . Elijah was facing such a tough time ,he had to run away and hide in wilderness !This was a blessing to us .This , we need to know . Many things that happen in fact to a child of God & to a child of promise in every situation or incident has a great purpose of blessing hidden inside it. Romans 8:30-32 . Life of Peter , where he claims that he will die for Jesus, turning further into swearing, cursing Jesus when the cock crowed thrice . Then Jesus appearing to the same Peter later is such a mysterious blessing even today which Peter has never known. Our life is a motivation ,inspiration to others . It will receive its rewards for what ever we face today with surety by God.Therefore its very important to discern ordinary lives as means of God to bless others through you which will be rewarded later.

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. 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. 10. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13. From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 15. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 16. This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17. And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. -
Relationship between the doing the will of God and blessing and its nature eternally.
When Jesus executed the will of God upon His life it accounted for salvation to the mankind once for all. The benefit is unspeakable. We all know it . Similarly there is a will of God upon our life that is equally important .Which is being a witness to Jesus as His disciple & making others His disciple . Doing this part by each one of us makes both the doer as well as its recipient equally blessed .What is executed as part of will of God upon ones life ,has such a eternal nature that after the coming of Jesus when rewards are looked into this definitely matters . Revelation 22:12-14 .The reward of doing will of God can be equated to Joy ,happiness, courage, faith ,wisdom, hope ,brotherly affection ,love ,kindness & mercy that can be experienced currently .Relationship with God makes sense when we execute will of God . When our relationship with God is perfect ,this moment reveals God's glory . Every problem vanishes . Its replaced by greatest joy. Patience gets increased.One of the greatest blessing that God has blessed us is PATIENCE. Patience is the iris through which we are really able to see !
Adding wisdom increases patience .Adding spiritual wisdom increases patience with respect to LIFE ! What we lack is patience with respect to life .Patience removes frustration, regrets & anxiety of life . Patience replaces all negative thoughts with wisdom . Seeing with wisdom is discerning wisely each moment .Often we are at cross roads because we lack patience which is lack of wisdom leading us to DOUBT .
What is the greatest doubt ?
Its not about physical things . The greatest doubt that man faces is regarding the behaviour of Others . Relationship with the other . Most part of life is spend with interaction with others ! But the real meaning ,purpose ,value of this interaction is wasted upon gathering everything excluding the precious valuable SOUL of man . This results in total chaos . To know its importance let's look at it this way . Genesis 1:26-27 , ROM.3:24 . Ask Adam and Eve a question . Given two options which one would you opt ! Getting the wealth of garden of Eden or getting back the Lost glory .Without the lost glory they became slaves to everything of this world. More of this world ,More slavery we add .The power to REIGN is not received. In the modern world ,ignoring this basic concept leads to every confusion in life . How satisfaction is totally lost in everything .
Whatever ,however we get we are at loss to discern HOW MUCH MORE WE NEED. Unsatisfied life makes mind devoid of everything .Peace of mind .Thankless mind .Being thankful to God and man makes life really a thrilling experience.This is what God had created in His perfect will. To know it ask both Joseph as well as His brothers the same question . Genesis 45:5-7
If properly discerned both would declare the greatest experience is to thank both God as well as man in each moment rather than waiting for so many things to happen then experience a thankful mind. Patience always is the foundation of a thankful mind .Which enable us to see not only the current moment but the past as well as future all connected in the right perspective .
Which is addition of spiritual wisdom as a result of nothing else but constantly executing the perfect will of God upon ones own LIFE!

Colossians: 1. 25. Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 26. Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28. Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29. Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. -
It is God's pleasure to bless everyone ! Reason -To make the same Christ in You . Which is sharing God's Glory. But this glory of God needs to be experienced discerned in its proper perspective .In flesh its impossible to perceive the glory of God .Its possible only in spirit . The reason . Blessing is eternal in nature .Any blessing that God gave is eternal in nature .Anything that's eternal can be of meaning or purpose only if connected to something with eternal nature.Its here we need to know what's of eternal nature in us ! Its our spirit that's of eternal nature . Hence the beauty,purpose,reason,needs & intention of God's blessing is discerned only in spirit. Mathew 22:29 . I am not God of dead ! I am God of Abraham,Issac and Jacob. Every blessing given by God has to be discerned in its eternal perspective . Most often we think in terms of today,current moment,current flesh body realm etc . Little do we realise our current moment is so much of value with respect to past as well as future !
How ! The beginning or origin holds the key to existence . This is why when God revealed his blessings to children of Israel through Moses who is hence author of first five books of bible reveals origin of man . Son of God !Adam .
Which is the root to lineage of man kind . Each blessing when revealed , always is attached to beginning as well as the eternity . The tiniest experience of a blessing that we experience if analysed through holy spirit we would see with unimaginable surprise it was rooted not just to current but to past and future. Isaiah 41 and 42 is clear declaration of God about this huge asset .I make meaning to past ! I make meaning to future,I created the past .I create the future ! See the life of each of biblical characters. Abraham --His life holds such a key to rest of generation ! Galatians 3:12-13
Look at Joseph .Look at Moses . Look at Paul .Look at prophets .Look at David . In concise manner
Look at Luke 24 :44-45,Jesus tells his disciples --What has been revealed,foretold through Moses,prophets,psalms has been the scripture that was executed in his life. In this prophecy it had been explicitly mentioned that the Christ must be raised on the third day ! All for what . Each day's revelation from God carries a light not just for this moment or just for oneself ! It is going to be the link to oneself with past and future . See its beauty ! If nature of blessing is like this --Can life be spend in regret ! Anger !
Hatred !
The greatest asset -Christ in you ! Meaning your existence is eternal ! What do we see when we say EXISTING ETERNALLY .
It is really existing with perfectness with whole humanity where each one is made perfect and so whole that all of is unimaginably thrilling to each one. To such extend that salvation from the current state is amounting to nothing but only to worship God . For that's experiencing God . Not as a God who punishes but experience a God who only shares His glory each moment . With every one . Ex 3:6-8, Mat 22: 29- 33,
How does real Abraham,real Issac,real Jacob look like ? How are you going to look like !
Wow like Angels ! Do you like to see or meet with the real you ! Desire this .Desire to see every one to be seen like this !
Which is the reality ! Does the depth of blessing of this moment by God make sense !
Mat 16: 21, Luke 24: 44-53 Just like how Jesus would appear , we all will be like him. 1Thess 4: 13-17
Isa 41: 4-29

Jeremiah: 17. 5. Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10. I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. -
Can blessings go unnoticed ! Trusting in man is the pointer.
Imagine we have a car . We use and depend on it for everything. One fine day after weekend we are ready to go to office or drop children to school. We reach our car and to our dismay find the car damaged not starting etc. Our immediate reaction is, one of fear that leads to so many panic situations. Like the whole day is lost ! Was our trust in God or in car !
Unknowingly our mind attached a trust in the car . Unknowingly we trust our own previous experience.Unknowingly we trust the mercy of others . Unknowingly we trust what other people say ! Unknowingly the children of Israel trusted the report of the ten leaders . Result ! We know the disaster . Numbers 14:1-7
The word of God alone is truth . God always desires as a part of blessings to give us victory in freedom. Bondage, slavery in a hundred dimensions is hated by God.Its absolute freedom .Galatians 5:13 .Never do we need to depend on anything but God for receiving a blessing . But impossible situations that create fear are the greatest moments to receive greatest blessings .
It is given ,not to create bondage or slavery but freedom and victory and blessing. ALWAYS.
Only truth can set us free in every impossible situation . John 8:32. It is a promise of God attached to blessing . The moment we subject ourselves to fear .Our response ,action, plan everything goes wrong. For we need to know things like this .
Each child of God is predestined to be a particular individual for God. Noah ,Joseph ,Moses ,Paul ,and so on.....
Each situation is created by God with such precise calculation that through it, each one receives such a blessing that enables the individual to execute the will of God . Which is SHARING the glory of God. ! Isaiah 42:8 .I will not give my glory to idols.
This leads us to know the reality of blessings in the spiritual realm. Galatians 4:28.Children of promise are in spirit . Often blessings are evaluated only in flesh body realm. John 3:5-8 . Born again in spirit and to be lead by holy spirit is the real blessings . For faith in God is impossible through flesh but in spirit. 1 Cor.2:10-17
Freedom in every situation is discernment of anger, hatred, envy, jealousy apart from fear ! For all of above restrict our freedom .
Its not anger of others .Hatred of others .Frustration of others .Jealousy of others that stop our freedom ! Its the same items building up in ourselves that restrict our freedom .
How ?
These create wounds in our minds with respect to human interaction or relationship. Solution is asking ourselves the question
Do I want freedom or slavery ! Option is ours . Jesus ,Moses ,Paul ,Daniel ,Ananyias ,Peter are all examples of freedom, victory, blessings in a million manners . Each one in their personal life became victorious in their own anger, hatred, jealousy ,wickedness.
Result -Jesus was successful with Peter after resurrection.John 21:14-17
Ananias was successful with Saul Acts 9:13-17
Moses / Exodus chapter 4 onwards .
He had to fight his own emotions fear, anger, hatred ,reasons to judge others - Mathew 7:1-3,Ex 5:20-23, Num 14: 1-10, John 11:8-10,
Galatians: 5. 13. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. -
Ninety percent of human interaction is result of fear . They are nothing but ideas ,opinions, assumption, thoughts, imagination etc that were made just on the spur of the moment. It is to this that we react with anger ,hatred, envy, jealousy etc .But in this its we who then loose freedom of our ownselves. Not the other. To know it look back after one week . Will the other remember when or why they formed an opinion ,imagination or idea ! Even they would have changed their idea or opinion a thousand times .Still see our problem . Our anger, hatred etc still enslaves us to such carelessness of others . If so do we want freedom ?
Can God use us in such a weakness to execute his will which is nothing but greater exchange of successful human interaction without break but a surety that yes . I am sure -About myself .I am sure freedom of interaction I will cherish .I will not stop at anger, envy,jealousy, hatred of others by becoming similar to them .
Malachi 3:6 Unchanging is only God with His word that is truth .What ever man express often are fear .Fear is greatest lie.
So why react with anger ,hatred ,envy etc to it ,as its not what would happen in reality ! Discern our own ,anger ,hatred ,envy & jealousy . Get freedom of interaction with others which is greatest blessings of God. For objectivity of interaction takes a ,U turn not when others are angry ,jealous ,hateful etc but when we become that in Our mind . For then the purpose for which we are send to other gets blocked, stuck,& changes its course. Num 12 :3-10

1 Samuel: 16. 1. And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. -
The relationship between responding to blessing and conviction of who a person is in Christ. God's greatest interest is his children to receive his blessings. But to receive blessing in its many ways its important to discern who a person is .
To be convinced of who a person is . To be conscious of who a person is . Without any doubt through any period of time what ever be ones status ,situation, condition ,stature in any manner . Even physical infirmities. Financial situations . Social environment. God wanted to convince David who he is ,what he is for God. This is a blessing. For which he does not have to depend on his qualification or at mercy of others or any one. Its God's will and its God who makes it happen . In Biblical periods we see this was revealed either through divine interaction or through prophets . In our age too we are called to instruct this to our children, others who they are . But the question is have .Have we been ever told who we are at any point of time ?
Has it been revealed to us convincingly . Has it been our consciousness every moment. ROM.10:14-17 ,Mathew 28:18-19-20 . Without knowing who we are, the big dilemma why I am placed in this generation ,society ,situation, church etc does not mean anything . We are at loss, to look for what opportunity that brings the best in us which is nothing but executing the will of God upon our life . ROM 12:2.
Let suppose we happen to be selected in an institution of 25 people. Salary agreement has been fixed . Only designation has not been decided. We report to office sharp 8 am.24 people came, started their work with specific nature ,importance & surety . It is interconnected with management ,as well as others in office & the customers of the institution. Everyone has a meaning, purpose ,target achieved, reward, hope etc. But what about the one person whose designation was not fixed or revealed ! Pitiable . He cannot do anything. He is not sure how to respond . He does not have any hope of any reward . He is doubtful in everything . If anybody tells him to do anything, he can do . Like a state of a robot that comes into action only when somebody bothers to tell him. When all 24 are busy ,he is at a risk of doing nothing .So to say .A NOBODY.
God does not intend you or me to be a Nobody ! ROM 8:14-17. He has called you to share his glory with Christ Jesus as his ambassador. Oh . Its not a small thing . It should be a revelation ,conviction, decision . That makes life as powerfully meaningful as Jesus found his life . It was like a spinning cracker active each moment . So full of hope, courage & faith .Nothing could defeat . Purpose of every moment is doing the best. Situation is not what I assume or what others dictate or command .It is not economy of country or yourself .Its totally God who creates the right situation . So best in you is made .
The greatest blessings too are reaped . Which is reward from God. Heb. 11:4 - 6 . Which results in a unregrettable life when looking back. Genesis 45:5-6 .Which makes a mind always healed of wounds , that are a common brought forward load we carry normally .That makes walking forward a calamity & stressed out .
That also ask God a question ? Why God are you so cruel to me .! Not once in a while , but always regarding every situation.Look at prophets of past .Their life was punctuated with so many situations .But in evey moment one thing was clear.
There was nothing called few days church life, few days office life .A period of time employed ,then retirement . Then nothing to do . No. .Their whole life, each day was filled with human interaction that made the other victorious at peace . John 9:3-4
Always walking with freedom.John 8:32, Galatians 5:13. God wants to make us free from his situation by knowing his truth about it . Not to change but to see it in courage for it is created specially for you to receive His blessings .

Romans: 3. 23. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; -
Why God had to bless !
The first man Adam and Eve having fallen was the reason for every one to be blessed .But before blessing the punishment of sins had to be atoned . For this He made Jesus to bear our sins, Jesus to be our punishment . Also we were justified on the cross by his blood.This is the point where God has attached a blessing to each one of us .This blessing that God has attached is to be received through faith .This knowledge about blessing as well as the blessed state is a revelation by holy spirit .Romans 10:14-17.Not only to Paul but to each individual.This has to be a conviction to you and me . We are able to consciously bless Others when this becomes a conviction.
Therefore blessing others is not making happen anything new but making conscious and reveal the recipient what God had already done for us in his love, grace ,kindness & mercy . This we are able to do as part of God's will upon our life with help of holy spirit with the attitude of doing best in our life for others which is justifying others & never judging others. For God was so serious when he wanted His children to be blessed . Had he not blessed ,there would only be death, punishment ,condemnation ,slavery & hopelessness for all of us . Therefore, attaching a blessing is so important in our life .
But how important ?
Each second, are we not bombarded by thoughts that enslave us to the extent of Fear of death ? Hebrews 2:15-16
This is to be defeated only by consciousness and faith about the blessing by God through his promises ,covenant and trusting in the holy spirit. But very often we fall to the effect of fear of death instead . Result is an action in fear of death leading to life in faithlessness. We cannot please God without faith . Hebrews 11:4-6
Secondly either we attach reasons of fear to each situation which is nothing but doubts or we end up judging others .Both leads to nothing and not justifying others . Without justifying others, we can never be convinced to have a faith to bless others in their distress or failure or weakness. God has forgiven. He has given each of us a New Life To Live.Our duty is to live this new life with faith in him at what he has given .For this ,first make our mind conscious about our new life ! each day . Make our mind conscious about new life for others too ! Then today's interaction related to every situation would be nothing but with the attitude of blessed state . No fear full thoughts can defeat or enslave us . No reason of fear can defeat us . Instead we will make great strides, steps of VICTORY each & every moment . For Jesus has replaced every failure of ours with His victory .
For all For all. Each second accounted .Each instant or moment included . Excluding a moment or instant is death, punishment ,hell, darkness for us . This God knows better than us .Then what's our problem ? We shy away from blessing others in situations or instances of weakness ,fear or ignorance of both ourselves as well as others . Just like smoking is a habit ,we need to cultivate consciously blessing others every moment . Never agree to any thoughts of fear .Yes we are royal priests called from darkness to light to declare how glorious we are through Christ Jesus.. Heb 10:38, Heb 11: 6, James1: 6-8, 2Cor 5:16-21, Mat 7: 1-5

1 Peter: 3. 9. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. -
Blessing .
Relationship between justification and blessing .State of unblessed condition and state of blessed condition .Receiving a blessing . Why God had to bless in the first place ! Fall of man from glory is the first reason for God to bless His children .
Therefore discerning this fallen state only brings the true attitudinal change about a state of blessed condition. God did not bless for a joke ! He blessed you and me for a great serious reason ! Had God not blessed us ,the condition would be not just Hell
but really Hell !! Today , what is our attitude about the blessed condition we are in ! Is it doubt ,fear ,sorrow ,curse, grumbling or desire to live etc ! Or just the opposite ! We really need to be conscious about the blessed state we are in . It is not just anybody's opinion or thought . Instead God blessed us with His unshakeable promise, covenant, holy spirit and word so each one of us receive it . Most important discern it .Experience it .
There is the story of a beggar boy . He went to house of a goldsmith begging . The goldsmith threw a coin into the beggars pot. Tingling sound of the coin when it fell into the pot raised doubts in the mind of the goldsmith . The goldsmith called the boy inside his house . Emptied all collections on the table. He inspected the material of the beggar's pot. On cleaning with acid ,it was found that the pot was pure gold. The surprised smith asked him ,"Is this your pot ! " Boy replied ,"The shape, size & weight is exactly same as my pot. But my pot is not GOLD. The goldsmith went on to ask him further like who was his father grandfather etc. The answer was that ,they were a whole generation of beggars. Finally ,out came the spilled beans .
His known first great grandfather was a rich man . He gave this painted pot to his son and said to use it wisely without disclosing the material it was made of . From then onwards the pot was mistakenly used for begging . The beggar's pot .
The goldsmith explained what he did to that pot . He just washed it in acid used for erasing gold.
Finally he asked the boy ,"Are you a beggar NOW ?
The boy was perplexed. He replied .I don't know anything else ! In my mind I am still a beggar .
The story goes on...
The goldsmith educated the boy to discern ,NO MORE IS HE A BEGGAR . The boy's attitude underwent a change .Who is this beggar boy ! John 9 describes the story of a similar beggar boy. John 5 describes the story of a person who spend 38 years not knowing who he was . Are we sure about our blessed state ! Are we conscious about it. Should it not thrill us .
What are examples of those who discerned ,they were a blessed nation generation .! What was their attitude to every situation of life ! What did they expect as outcome to every situation .Were they WRONG to expect a glorious victorious outcome in the beginning of situation itself . Galatians 3:12-13
Are we aware who we are with respect to blessing of God .Are we aware of who others are with respect to blessing .
Why was Jesus send ! To whom. Should we attach a blessing like what the goldsmith did to its recipient .The beggar boy.
Did the Goldsmith do it in sincerity ,Love, affection, belief ,faith ,courage ? Did he look at the state of the boy ! Is he qualified to receive such a great abundance. 2 Cor.8:9,Phili 4:19
Does the blessed state call for a changed attitude in a permanent manner ? Is there need for a consistent growth in conviction, as each day brings greater challenges with intention of greater blessings to be reaped . Blessing received to bless Others .
The more we spend time in ignorance ,no doubt most of the time we develop wrong attitude about the blessed state of both ourselves as well as others. Can we be the goldsmith to Others with help of the holy spirit.Are we convinced of God's promise as a surety, unshakable as His word . That does not change ever ever .Malachi 3:6,ROM 11;26-29,
2 Pet 1:2-10 You are called to be a blessing .You are called to bless others .Bless others every second with discerned revelation through holy spirit which justifies others with the right attitude towards others & never bothers to judge others ever in any manner like Samuel the prophet when he was send to David's house ! 1samuel 16:8,
Hos 1:2-11, Don't even judge a whore, 1 Pet 2:10-11
John5:1-9, Educate others, motivate others for what a blessing they are like YOURSELF.
John: 9. 1-11,What's our opinion conviction about others with respect to blessing ! Is there a reason to attach a blessing
Did Jesus educate with ignorance or with great wisdom .Can we bless in fear ,doubt ,ignorance & faithlessness?

Hebrews: 12. 2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. -
When we justify Others always, what's the greater benefit to us personally? The revelation of thoughts of justification remains more conscious in Our mind than the one whom we justified. This increases our own faith and value .Our own love to God increases . The revealed wisdom that increases faith resulting in a great victory in Faith . A great victory in faith .This can be observed in all characters in bible, who always justified others . Their personal life was more faithfilled !.The best way to increase faith .The Best way to experience God !

Romans: 3. 24. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: -
Justification of God .
The perfect justification of God results in God's principle of Salvation ,Eternal hope ,Faith ,Covenant ,Promise ,Holy spirit ,Grace ,God's love ,God's mercy .A REALITY. Hebrew 10:7-17.Through blood of Jesus, one sacrifice that took away & cleansed every sin ,nailed every unfavourable debt on the cross. Result -Its recipient declared Cleansed to the status of God.
Every weakness is no more accounted as sin but ignorance of eternal wisdom. To impart it holy spirit is received freely.Peace with God is made .Every wall of enemity is destroyed. So that with full courage we can approach the throne of grace any time . Anytime! ! How How How . Can we interact with others in same manner expecting the best behaviour from them ?
Can others interact with us expecting the best behaviour from us ? We know too well the answer . Our attitude varies in a million manner due to million reasons. But God's opinion about His children remains just the same, unchanged eternally because of His justification which remains conscious in His mind every second without break & with joy. The thoughts of justification is a joy for God to such an extent that instead of thinking -" oh this sin and other sins, partial sins etc." God is thinking only of How to execute His glorious blessings .How to give His best .Which is His promise .Resulting in declaration of God's word . My righteous Shall live by faith in what ever I have told in my WORD. I take pleasure in executing it.I am happy when those I justified believe in what I have declared as blessings to them ! We are now Ambassadors of this Jesus Christ who himself became sin for us . So that we as well as others are made sinless. Because of God's justification ,it results always in ONLY God's BEST .His LOVE MERCY KINDNESS. Jeremiah 9:24. It is impossible to be a disciple without the same justification thoughts in ones mind about the preached .Its this justification and its resultant thoughts that made Jesus give His best .Never seeing people as sinner but CLEANSED .Our best to others is possible only when we justify others exactly as God justified Others. This result in faith for others to whom we preach with absolute surety that God will do what we declared to them.ROM 1:16, Phili 4:19,2 Cor 8:9 .Because of this justification there is no more judgement for one in Christ .
ROM.8:1 Justification of God clears a person of judgement. But because we do not justify others often likewise we judge others and we tend to lose faith about others . God never changes or has to change His opinion about others because of His perfect justification . Therefore -A great question .What about God's DECISION.
It NEVER CHANGES. Malachi 3:6.Is there really a reason for us to change our DECISION about Others . Eternally NO !
But what's our reality ? what's the reason ? Our lack of justifying others always . Don't try to justify others by own wisdom or judgment . It will surely FAIL. Even prophet Samuel failed miserably when He was send by God to select David from his brothers . Justify others with help of Holy spirit . How ? Pray in holy spirit so we are able to justify others with revealed wisdom .
Justification is made perfect never in Flesh ! It is made perfect in SPIRIT. God is spirit . His children are spirit . Justified in spirit. Eternally . Baptism in spirit is therefore only an act by holy spirit which is God expressing His love in its greatest form . It does not ever mean a preacher is greater than a preached . Both are alike . Justified freely. To give your best, justify others in spirit
Pray in holy spirit .Then our decision about others will cease to exist once for ALL. No more decision making needed about others ! Like God is free .We too can be Free! But why we are confused always about our decision making about OTHERS !
Its our laziness in justifying others . Result --the instant we stop justification of others our attitude towards others become
Worst . Concluded .This amounts to DECISION. Rom 11: 29, 2Cor 5: 17-21, 1Sam 16:4-13, Rom 8: 1-9

Romans: 3. 24. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; -
Justification the greatest nature essential to successful interaction . Justification the greatest nature essential to execute will of God .Justification the greatest nature essential to execute DECISION MAKING.Justification the greatest nature essential to be a disciple of Jesus Christ . Justification the greatest nature essential to accommodate oneself to OTHERS.
The success of Joseph,Moses ,Daniel are examples of justification being consciously executed .
Example . Genesis 45:5-11. Because you sold me here , i do not feel upset or sad or disturbed . Instead God has send me here ahead of you ,so a great life saving procedure would be executed by God. Just look back into the life of Joseph and his brothers .Clearly the behaviour of the brothers to Joseph should have been enough reason to show hate ,vengeance ,distancing, fear from Joseph . Reasons Reasons Reasons
This should have been the only foundation to form any basis of DECISION for Joseph . Had it been so, what should have been the course of history ? Changed beyond words. The great will of God could not have been executed through Joseph .The best in Joseph would have come to worst . Everything that God created ! - the seven years of famine the seven years of abundance everything would amount to total meaninglessness. ! For had Joseph been not able to Justify His brothers he would have had to make a decision on his own ! Should I conclude with these dirty people . For what reason should I carry on .Again won't these people be a risk in my life .Why should I take the risk .Why should I care for them .Let anything happen to them . I just don't care .OK .I decide .CONCLUDE .Form my DECISION. Ignore or reject or distance or punish or hate them .
This is the process of decision making that all of us generally take. Finding reasons to judge others with whom we interact which only leads to conclude a human relationship with the other .Ending human relation is not the principle of salvation of God. How Joseph succeeded not to conclude and decide with his brothers ! Truth is he did not conclude .
The fact was that , his brothers still had every suspicion about a revolt from Joseph .Which is evident in Genesis 50 where after death of Jacob - they send a mediator to Joseph . Well Joseph through divine revelation from God .Through obedience to this revelation .Through faith and trust in God on this revelation .Through a real love and thankful mind to God for what God has in His will .Through a really submitted mind to God by which only all risk or reasons were purged out by what God revealed to Him . I did this to preserve a generation . Its my decision I had taken once with Abraham . I am Jehova . I do not change . there fore children of Jacob you are not destroyed . Malachi 3:9
A real God fearing submitted obedient Joseph will base all his decisions to will of God rather than own assumption .
For in own assumption their is no proof or evidence of truth regarding future or will of God . Will of God is revealed only by Holy spirit . 1 Cor 3:10-15.
Well Joseph accepted the revelation of God . This revelation was justifying the brothers ! It does nothing to justify Joseph .
God bears all responsibility to His decision .
Question .
Can you bear responsibility for your decision ?
If answer is yes then its equal to saying I don't need God for wisdom . My own assumption is enough to execute the perfect will of God .Even Jesus said I can do nothing on my own .John 5:30 ,John 12:49-50
I have nothing to say on my own .except what is given to me .Eternal life .We boast of eternal life, trust in God ,obedient to God. But when it comes to Decision making in human relationship where are we !This prevents us from executing the will of God .This prevents us from exhibiting the BEST in us.This prevents the flow of God's blessing in us.Instead of being channel of God's blessing through his promise ,mercy ,kindness ,covenant we just become a USELESS, wasted creation ,meaningless creation for God .
Look at Moses . He intervened to justify the children of Israel so that they are not destroyed.Which he succeeded.
Look at Daniel .When he was saved by God from the lions den ,the king came searching, losing his sleep alnight. Instead of concluding, instead of deciding, instead of hating or showing revenge , yet again trusting in a God who saved him ,declares
Oh king may God bless you etc .Which amounts to justifying the king , inspite of what the king had done to Daniel . In will of God there is only one decision .That which he had already taken in the beginning , before creation . He has since then kept on justiyfying , so salvation is encouraging ,motivating & can be trusted .
Can we trust another person if the other person takes decision on their own ! Giving zero value to God's will .Such decision making only led to fall of children of Israel in the wilderness. Numbers 14:1-21
Justification is the divine attitude that strengthens human relation, to continue from weakness to strength not strength to weakness .
It is the key to Useful relationship . Not a wasted relationship.Numbers 14 is the best example of a huge section of people who fell into a wasted human relationship. Wasting a lifetime over just one day's decision . Let's elect a new leader and go our way .Enough . Can any one wise ,ever say enough to God . Can you decide future ! If so change your yesterday as well .
Impossible. Well the best in you is related to the glorious will of God which is directly related to justifying others with help of holy spirit. But this also amounts to trusting God .Obeying God .Listening to God .Like Joseph ,Moses ,David from old testament. Look back to see our decision making or conclusions with respect to human relationship, was it aided ,enhanced by justification or devoid of it . If so, the glorious abundance of God would have freely flowed through us. We become a channel of blessing to others .Our life becomes useful to God and man . Otherwise its a wasted life .In every manner .
Simply its end would be total meaninglessness.Ex 32:9-15, Dan 6: 18-28
Daniel prospered.His decision was God's decision .He justified the king .The best in Daniel is submitted to will of God
Heb 3:17-19

Romans: 12. 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.
The BEST in YOU is exhibited not when we do it for one day ,one week ,one year or we exhibit it just in a work place or in a society or a particular place instead it is the sum total of one's life that contributed to the will of God.
Most often we have many assumptions about the subject," the best in you ."
Like in this job I will have to exhibit the best in me ! In this school I have to exhibit the best in me .In this church I have to exhibit the best in me .Etc. Rest of the areas of life remains untouched . What happens in doing so, after we are out of it ?
All characters in bible like Noah, Abraham,Moses, prophets ,Jesus & Apostles were able to exhibit their best on a twenty four hour basis ! It was not depending on the place or society or job focused but directly oriented to the People with whom they interacted on everyday basis. No other sort of things were the parameters. There was nothing like, let me get a job then I will exhibit the best in me .Let me be appointed as a manager then I will bring the best in me as a manager . After sometime I lost my job suddenly, I am at a loss to even exhibit the best in me ! Actually the best in us is not exhibition of something that amounts to adding more of world .Which passes away. 1john 2:15-16
It is doing the will of God .
The reason -Will of God is the very basis for which YOU are chosen, created, send to this world . Everything is made ideal for you to execute the Will of God by God. You don't have to hunt for it ,wait for it ,be at any body else's mercy for it .The economy of a country or weekend or holiday or Hartal or sickness or educational qualification or pre- experience does not matter .The matter is, You are chosen by Almighty, designated ,appointed on a 24 hour basis to execute ,EXHIBIT the BEST in YOU. You get the best reward ,when you exhibit the best in you as the will of God . The Best rewarder is no one else but God directly. No investment is required . It does not matter who you are, what you are or where you are ! ! !
The waiting game is over.Your asset is the Promise of God ! The Covenant of God ! The Will of God ! The Grace of God !
The filling of the Holy spirit . No vaccation . No physical condition is a deterrent in executing the will of God . The reward is joy, happiness, courage, strength, faith, hope eternal life love ! Acts 1:8,Luke 24 :45-50
Being the witness to Jesus is your qualification and job. Reward is from God .Philipians 4:19
Nothing can create a doubt in you . No pharaoh can determine or seal your future in any manner . Look at moses ! Look at Joshua .Look at Joseph .Look at Daniel .......
Instead everything was created for them to execute the will of God ! They never had to wait for something, somebody ,something . Instead will of God is directly connected to THIS moment . Hebrews 3:12-14. The best in you is exhibition of impossible made possible that is nothing but revelation of God's glory . John 2:11.The life of Jesus ! The whole world acknowledges , the greatest personality that ever walked in this world ever is no one but Lord Jesus Christ .
We are called to be His ambassador .He became that by Acts 10:38-Holy spirit and Power .
Defeating,overcoming fear of death by holy spirit and faith is victory that enables you to exhibit the best in you!
1cor 3:16 You are the temple of God and the Holy spirit is in you . The waiting game is over . Arise and shine this moment.
Let your light shine ! Called as the royal priests .To be witness of the one who called you .The one who says I will be helper to every weakness that you have .Hebrews 4:15-16, Who will give you help in this moment . Waiting for you to respond .
No retirement .To reign without doubt as king with king of kings not as a junior .No more remuneration - a problem .
Your remuneration is God . Its online,direct from him,out of His love . You will never be despised,rejected disqualified at any moment.John 21:14-17-Peter is best example . The wait is over .
ROM 8:26 everything is converted,made suitable in best possible manner for you to act now !
All it takes is like Paul -please start by asking God with full devotion .What should I do Lord .Acts 22:10
Never ever bother with what others would say !What only God says to you,matters.John 5:17-20 ,John 5:30
I can do nothing on my own . But with him I can do everything . 2Cor 12:9-17, I am strongest when I am weakest !
The best in me comes out through revelation of cup of sorrow of love to Others .Mathew 16:24
Make no mistake .This revelation is nothing but justifying others sincerely during each moment of interaction with them .
The moment we judge others,its not the Best in us but the worst in us. For God justified others and you equally with His blood .
Justifying others is not preaching,but an attitude our mind needs to carry about others always. Instead it is affirming in your mind that,God has made others,as your conviction
Example . The best in Ananyias came out when he affirmed what Jesus instructed him about Paul . Acts 9:13-17
Are we consciously justifying others or ourselves when ever we interact with others ? This is the main principle of best in you to start . Stop justifying yourself. Start justifying others .
Then a craving for this is really the word of God and light that will flow out as revelation and streams of life giving water were bones will join .Fishes will come to life . Amen Rom 8:26-28, Rom 3:24-25, Heb 4 :15-16, 1Pet 2:5-10, Heb 3:12-15, John12:47, Ex 3:10-14, Ez 33:1-8, Phil4:19-20,Heb 11:6-11

John: 18. 11. Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? -
The cup of suffering that Truly Jesus drank .The cup of suffering that Father gave Jesus to drink .The cup of suffering that Father too endure !What is this cup of suffering ?
The real pain of sorrow in love,that's eternal is the experience of the greatest cup of suffering . When the Father and Son experienced the result of loveless response from the loved ,The whole Humanity whom the Father and Son loved so dearly that everything in their infinite wisdom is provided only with intention of expressing their love,truly what the Father and Son expected back is nothing but loving back the Father and Son .
Jesus says to Father John 17:5-8 ,Father I gave them all the word that you gave me . They know I came from you and that I come back to you. The cup of suffering is the pain of sorrow of mind that surpasseth all or every pain that physical body can ever experience due to any form of infirmity or tribulation. The pain of sorrow that remains, is the one of Love that's eternal in nature . Which is truly the Love of God.It is this cup that Jesus said Mathew 26:42
Father let me drink the cup of suffering you gave me . But what is there to desire in this cup of suffering ?
Its in the cup of suffering which is the pain of sorrow in love the greatest thoughts of love that surpass all human understanding always gets revealed . One that freely justifies the one that is loved .
ROM 3:23.Do we have a habit by nature to justify others ? In every situation the first option in our mind is to justify ourselves about ourselves,so that we are not at fault . Its others always at fault.In case of Jesus He was never at fault but He never found fault with others .Instead it was always how can I justify my people in every moment so that the best from my Father can be given to them . The best in us is given to OTHERS only when we are able to have a mindset or attitude that justifies the Other.
Look back at ourselves . When ever we have given the best in ourselves to others under any circumstances it is those moments our mind tried its best not in justifying ourselves but JUSTIFYING THE OTHER with whom we interacted .
Justifying others happens,where no conditions prevail,only an unconditional act of giving the best possible is searched by the mind . The parable of the good Samaritan ,He gave the best possible selflessly . Fear of death about the perishable goods in his cart that he took to the market vanishes off. Fear about one's own security vanishes. Only thoughts are those about the others. That too -What I can do .Not what I have done or have done enough.But an inner urge that cries .Nothing I do is enough .This drive of inner mind,is truly justifying others not once in a while but always . This is really submitted mind .When we justifying others, the attitude of selflessness abounds. In such a mindset only we are truly able to reach out to the other .
In such a mindset fear about own self vanishes.Mathew 16:24. If any one wish to follow me should forget self take up own cross and follow me. Take up on cross ! Yes this is the pain of sorrow of eternal love that our mind shall experience,that craves for a million reasons not to hate or find fault or escape or distance from others or curse or swear another . Possible reason to justify the others not with hypocrisy or pretention or social commitment of any nature or demands,the society may impose but own desire to ones own self What I should do . Acts 22:10 Paul pleads with God . What I should do .So I can offer my best to others ! The answer is revealed to him.Go to Damascus .There you will be told all that you are destined ! Truly the will of God is a revelation about giving out nothing but the best in you by always justifying others ever ever ever . Gone is ever the reason of finding fault about others. To such an extend that the others sincerely lose all fear about us in their mind . The greatest fear others have in their mind about us is , will they find fault in me ! No I will never ever find fault in you . Instead you have been justified so much that only desire I have is to give you my best because I don't see any fault in you ! For this the will of God is revealed by the holy spirit .When we try to give the best in us to others .Others experience the oneness with us . In this offering of best in ourselves every law or social principles vanish . What remains-Unconditional mind remain .No demands are imposed from others in any form ,ever. ROM 13:8 Do not be obligated,only love. Jesus gave his best to us,became one with us.For this the best in him was to abolish all the punishment of law that was on us,free us from every wrath of God. Free us from devil who was oppressing us. Feed us with wisdom in form of light in such ardent manner that we become blessed,only blessed .
To be an ambassador of Jesus -We too must drink the cup of sorrow . The pain of mind in love .That justifies others - ever sincerely . For which the mind fights with the holy spirit to reveal more reasons to justify others rather than to justify myself in any manner . So others are loved .So others experience true love .So others experience only oneness . So others experience no demands from us in any manner .Giving the best is impossible without a mindset to justify the Other continuously,eternally
A cup that's only trying to justify you and me ever
Paul gave His best .Paul did will of God .When he started justifying others .When his carving was revealing love of God to others. All fear about his own self vanished. John 12:47-50, Mat 26: 38-42, Heb 10:9-17, Acts 22:10-15, Col 1:9-22

Romans: 5. 6. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 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. -
Experience of Love of God when under fear of death.Experience of love of God when free from fear of death.
Hebrews 2:14-15. When we were under fear of death we always approached God with the sole purpose of God to Address our fears and solve it for us. In this course if we felt our fear was resolved we experience God loving us . If we felt our fear was not addressed God is not loving us . Further after another issue , God helped us, we experience such a love & continue into the next situation were again fear of death grips our mind . We approach God ,but this time we feel our issue is not being addressed like last time . What happens to our experience of love of God ? It undergoes a change from God not loving me to God hating me ! Our opinion about God too undergoes a change ! At the same time after a person is liberated from the fear of death, what does he approach God for ? Certainly not for what he fears for he is out of it . Well then its for understanding how to please God . Hebrews 11:6, Through faith .Executing the will of God .Which is revelation through holy spirit .
So there is a permanent experience of love of God when one enters into the state of executing the will of God.Now this experience of love or hate is to be understood from various aspects or dimensions. Firstly when we hate someone we just want to seperate or distance from whom we hate .Then distancing is easy process in mind .But when we love a person the person is so attached to our mind with such an intensity that even if the other person does not love us back our mind does not distance from the other but feels the greatest sorrow of pain . Which under normal situations it is humanly considered that the other has cheated us etc! But the reality is, its not the other person has cheated us ,instead the other is under fear of death in a new situation or phase of life .And under the influence of the same is momentarily experiencing a feeling of hate towards us . But once they realise in course of time they were mistaken they revert back to love .But this period of time is most important when a servant of God is interacting with others to discern . As servant of God is always sincerely loving others . The place for others is always in mind . The moment he expects the other to respond by love and instead sees that it is not so ,but rejection or hate , the resultant pain of sorrow should be discerned adeqatively .If not executing the will of God will come to cease which will indirectly show that God is not love ! Which is not the case.
How to get out of such pain of sorrow ?
The pain of sorrow of not receiving love back is far more greater than the pain of sorrow by hate . For in hate its tendency to distance but in love the tendency is never to distance. The wisdom should never be expected as response of love from others who are under fear of death, for its not that they are cheating but they are just under fear of death . Often the greatest breakups happen in this context of mind behaviour . Therefore the rule in executing the will of God is to never expect others to respond back with love. The other under a seemingly positive situation might affirm I love you intensely like Peter who said to Jesus
I am ready to DIE for you but only to realise in a short period ,the same Peter is cursing the Jesus whom he thought he loved .
But notice how Jesus never interpreted this as Peter cheating in response to the love of Jesus but the incapacity of Peter due to fear of death . Where Jesus after appearing to Peter never interacts with an attitude of ," Hey Peter you cheated me ! No Never . Instead it was the fear of death that made you curse me or distance from me . So Jesus asks John 21:14-17
Do you love me more than these ?
Three times .If so tend my sheep .Take care of my sheep. Which also means-- don't expect the sheep you tend to love you back like you love them . Their mind varies in and out of fear of death . At one moment they may appear to love you ,only to see in the next moment they curse you. This realisation in Peter made him sorrowful and said back to Jesus ---You know me !
One moment I thought I loved you so eagerly . even I said I love you to death . Next moment I swore I do not even know you and went to extent of cursing you .Yet Jesus you never told .I CHEATED YOU.You kept on loving me ! You kept on loving me
You never change ,even when I change . Peter go & do my will likewise but realise what you experienced in your mind when you were under fear of death .hating me ! Be kind to others when they hate you .Others are never CHEATERS but its weakness of flesh . Slave to own decision . Servant of God never should take a decision of His own , never ever about others just because others don't respond with love . John 15:13 ,John 5:30
I can do nothing of my own .I submitted to Jesus ,then will of God means , its no more my opinion or decision .Goodbye to it !
Instead my decisions are only as God thinks .Which is like ,nothing can make God stop loving.
God is love . 2Tim 2:13, Rom 8:35-39, John 15:13-19, John 21:14-19, Mark 14:30-31, Mark 14:67-72

Mark: 1. 17. And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. -
Without discerning the will of God we see only fish .
The more we see fish the more our anxiety, worry about fish increases. The moment we discern the will of God we start to see the men God has given us. For God's glory is revealed through the men God has given .John 17:6-10, You have given me men in this Earth and you share your glory with them .What I have is what you gave me .This connects us always with will of God and Holy spirit. Remaining connected to God is peace in mind .For with God's presence there is peace .All problems cease.
Genesis 12:1-2 God gave himself to Abraham .Only when we reach the state of God is our ASSET or Investment forms the attitude of Mathew 16:24, Whoever wishes to follow me ,must forget self and take up his own cross ! Forgetting self is replaced by the thrill of living a new life with God directed by God with specific surety that experiences the love of God always ! John 5:17-20. This further reveals who we were before ,what a chaotic fearful hated life we lived devoid of All Hope each second. to such an extend that ignorance of tomorrow being the main concern of the mad rush of today that somehow tries in vain to make tomorrow more secure only to realise as tomorrow dawned it became filled with new anxiety that never ceased but made me more anxious or worried .

1 Corinthians: 2. 9. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. -
Revelation of really who YOU are is the first phase of life in the Will of God. God makes each one discern who they are ,what they are, what's their purpose in such a convincing manner that every doubt about oneself is cleared . From this point onwards a person does not live on any wavering opinion or assumptions about who oneself is .The reason being from this moment onwards God starts to Use a person in a continuous state with no break .Ambassador of Jesus Christ . Its not the wisdom of flesh at work but wisdom of spirit at work . That is to help grow the kingdom of God which is adding more to it adding more to it ,adding more to it so the number of gentiles is completed. To be convinced of who one is, it is essential to become a total helpless person in flesh so total discernment in spirit takes a challenge . The process takes a person to face the gruelling test of grooming like that of Joshua being asked to cross the Jordan. Where it is either fight it out or escape from it . Escaping is not trusting in God . Escape is trusting in incapacity of ignorance of once own self .Escape is allowing fear to dominate ,than God's wisdom to dominate as Faith . To live by Faith is what's called for .!Convinced of what a person is in Christ ,takes upon oneself an attitude that is always sure about God rather than Himself ,Others or Situation .
This happened for scripture to be full filled .A common saying of Jesus.Mathew 26:54-56
For any instant only conviction is Gods glory .For any instant only conviction is God's glory .
How ever this state of grooming takes a period of time in one's life .That may be punctuated with a doubtful phase ,is really a learning phase .The period in Moses life in wilderness where he is groomed into conviction about Himself .His relationship with God .His relationship with children of Israel . Joseph too was groomed into such a state .Genesis 45:5-7. Paul was groomed into such a state .Eph.3:5-7
Where by one does not worry about oneself .Like the Mother is free from worry about Herself .Instead her concern is only centered about her child.Notice in the wilderness of Haggar ,God offers a promise to Haggar not about herself but about Ishmael . This is because her mind is not concerned about herself instead becomes motivated by what Ismael is going to become . Jesus was never worried about himself but constantly concerned about the children of God that he was entrusted to Him as His own .John 17:6-10 .Paul was concerned about others .Moses was concerned about others . Look into our mind
Our concern is about others or is it self-centered about our own Fear ,our own Self . This attachment to self loses ground once the grooming process is over. Then like Philip one can be used for the purpose of God .No question is asked to God.An unquestioning mind is a totally submitted mind ! Where each moment is too precious, too precious ,too important to God.
One instance of absence of Moses, we see what happened to children of Israel .They with Aaron created the gold calf .
One moment of absence of Jesus, the disciples took to the security of boat and net . But after the conviction of themselves into who they are, there was no more, no more worry about personal self .One becomes available to God and Man .

Romans: 8. 28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
The concept of miracles in the life lived in the will of God .Normal concept about miracle is that it has to be created . For it to be created something extra ordinary has to happen .Also miracles are impossible incidents made possible .All possible moments are not at all instances for miracles since I require only what I desire in life to happen . For my own capacity, capability is enough to execute things in a particular way or manner. When something becomes impossible for me, a miracle is sought after EVEN from GOD ! The above is the sum total of concept of miracle that we normally hold in life.
Therefore a healing or a debt recovery or a lost found or escaping from a road accident etc are only discerned as miracles .
The concept of miracles in life in the Will of God is totally different .Its too great ,too Amazing ,too thrilling . Which is a real possibility .The miracle in will of God is all about God executing His glory every moment to reveal His love to Man kind at large . John 5:17-20 .This calls for the total change of attitude towards expectation of a miracle .This total change of attitude towards expectation of a miracle is not about a few unexpected situation or need .Its instead about expecting God to reveal His glory in each moment . Meaning each moment is only for the glory of God .This is a possibility only under a super extraordinary attitude that's possible only under a life lead by Holy spirit !!!!!!!
Look at the life of Noah for example ! The moment he started to live under guidance of holy spirit, each moment takes a miraculous turn . Each moment the discernment of situation is with such surety clarity that expectation is based on salvation from flood and death .In every instant everything that Noah had to do whether cutting down the specific tree or collecting the oil or preparing the workforce or gathering the animals or preaching during the whole process with such surety ,all were with such a different attitude .Its result too is like after each instant when looked back was thrilling to see a definite picture with increasing clarity , clear more clear about what's in the final objectivity . Which is Noah's arc as we call it .
There is miracle in every instant about every action because EACH Action executed by Noah was not out of His personal opinion, idea, assumption, imagination, but under instruction from God .
Look at the life of Moses ! After the burning bush incident each instant is not under Moses's opinion ,idea ,assumption but under instruction from the holy spirit . Resulting in each moment what ever happened as an addition to the single Goal ! The liberation of children of Israel from Pharaoh and reaching one step closer to Promised land ! Moses was absolutely sure about the end result of every incident in his life . With children of Israel it was a conversion of normal situation into revelation of God's glory which will be only Positive according to Gods standard .
Philippians 4:17-19. God in His truthful righteousness and love towards us has provided this sort of life for each moment .
Declaring this only He has made a covenant promise upon our own lives with a SUPER extraordinary WILL OF GOD.
Romans 12:2 .To realise it is super extraordinary, look at the will of God that was upon Jesus .The life of Jesus was always filled each moment with power of God associated with each moment.Acts 10:38. The reason as Jesus himself said I can do Nothing by myself .I can do everything by faith . 1John 5:4.This is why we too should crave for discerning the will of God upon our lives so much that each moment is for God to reveal His glory ,His POWER. When His POWER is executed & released things change causing a particular phenomena. The mind becomes filled with faith, strengthened with faith .travelling in faith always giving a picture of each moment getting closer to salvation .As the cross was nearing it was the glorious picture of salvation. Getting more clear in the mind of Jesus rather than any sort of anxiety fear or uncertainty of what will happen .Yes when we submit to holy spirit in a consistent manner each moment gathers a momentum with such a surety that we too would proclaim strange, mysterious wisdom about each day ,each incident. Surety that relies, expects only Glory of God, only Release of Power of God . For life is total submission to His will not my will. This is the super life in the kingdom of God about which Jesus preached in holy spirit in Acts 1:2-3. Before He was taken up . Along with this promise of the holy spirit .
Why we do need holyspirit ?
Only as special instant advisor when we find something impossible ! When we desire something impossible !
No never. Every moment the most important objectivity is salvation of soul ,getting one step closer . Each moment is converted by God revealing His love expediting His power so that His children increase in faith and wisdom with a surety in mind about it .Nothing is to happen ever with uncertainty of human opinion, assumption or imagination other than Will of God .
Never any moment is just ordinary but Extra ordinary, since children of God are extra ordinary .
John: 5. 17. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 18. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. 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.
Nothing can kill you .Nothing can defeat you .Nothing can over power you .You are object of God's love, kindness, mercy Power & Wisdom. Object to reveal only His glory
Romans: 8. 14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Called to SHARE HIS GLORY not once in a while ! Each moment Each moment Crave for holy spirit .Crave for will of God to be discerned so a different life is possible that's not at all like what is lived but totally Fearless . Gone is uncertainty of life.
Picture of eternal hope is the super extraordinary attitude that is cue to continuous state of miracle each moment.
John: 2. 11. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. Living a life in will of God .Each moment everything reveals only Glory .Never ever loss !

Acts: 10. 38. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. -
Craving for the holy spirit is equal to craving for discerning the will of God.For the will of God is revealed point by point, day by day only by the holy spirit . Often we are at loss to wrongly interpret the will of God. 1cor 2:10-15
Clearly says only the holy spirit can reveal
Acts 10:38,Reference verses
Gen 6:8-22 Noah
Gen 12:1-4 Abraham

Matthew: 16. 21. From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. -
Tomorrow is the greatest ignorance that torments everyone due to the reason of not knowing what is to happen. ! Therefore today is spend utmost to make tomorrow secure in every possible manner .The mad rush takes away the time allotted to life or live life executing, experiencing the great Love of God the Father through His promise covenant as well as everything that He achieved through Lord Jesus Christ . Its like the rich man who lived along with Lazar or the man who made a new barn to store the grain . The holy spirit is send to reveal the true will of God upon ones life by which we too can be sure of our life like Jesus .
Live a life loving the Father ,which is loving mankind . Being actively participating in the perfect will of God the father.Enjoy really the kingdom of God .Mathew 13:25/44. Live life without anxiety .Romans 12:2.Being raised with Christ ,enjoy the newness of Life . The true purpose of this moment .
Why we are in the midst of a sea of people that is floating along with us .
See or observe the life of Noah / Moses / prophets/ Apostles / those after the Apostles !!!! Their life was dictated by the Lord with such surety clarity . The purpose of will of God is specifically this.There is absolutely No Reason To Run Away From any Situation . Jesus never had to run away ! John 11:1-16 is a clear indication of this .
When Thomas and the rest of disciples were convinced about going to Martha, Mary & Lazarus house is surely inviting death , with what astonishing clarity Jesus under influence of Holy spirit declared ,"This is for glory of God only to be revealed .
Reason -What ever is mine is the people you have given me .John 17:1-23. (Posted last week message-Its various dimensions in short ) What is mine.
Similarly will of God is catching Men .Not gather this world .When catching men becomes your first priority the rest of the true picture of our life becomes truly evident . Like the life of Moses. He was about to be the next pharaoh.Suddenly thrown into a meaningless destiny . In the company of Ethro for a long period of time .The final shepherd life resulted in burning bush !
Rest of the real Moses we all know. No one or nothing could deter him .The purpose or life of Moses is so absolutely clear that he was sure of his Goals and its results.Nothing else would destroy him . Yes . In other words .My righteous can can CAN live by faith .Hebrews 12:2 like Jesus. Victory over the world is by faith ! 1john 5:4
Therefore discerning the will of God is or should be the greatest greatest greatest priority, prayer ,craving, thirst ,hunger than anything else. Even let God feel we are eager for this .Not that he does not know it. This revelation itself is done by holy spirit .
At the same time this revelation convinces oneself beyond the Question of Ignorance of Tomorrow with courage of what is in store for me ahead .After all I am needed by God as a piece of irrevocable important VIP that should add a link to chain of gentile population .I say this from testimony of my personal life as well as what God in his mercy has revealed to me . By which with joy ,courage, conviction I pen this message to whosoever who sees this .I further extend this message as my absolute love to you to the extend like God the Father is telling me .Tell the whole mankind I love them not with doubt but with Absolute definiteness.ROM 8:29-32.Pray in spirit ,Pray in spirit ,Pray in spirit . Luke16;19-31, Mat 13:25- 52,Heb 12:2, 1 john 5: 4, Heb 10:34-39, John 11:1-16,
Impossible situation according to human wisdom are the greatest moments where God takes pleasure to reveal His glory, love kindness, mercy without FAIL. Such revelation of glory is often understood as miracles. Let us be expectant of miracles in every impossible situation.

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. -
Loving God the father is equal to executing the will of God .Without executing the will of God there is no loving God as He is .Ignoring the will of God we can approach God .Which is mostly what happens . Our prayer is ninety percent oriented towards requests pertaining to our Fears ,worries ,anxiety, etc . Which to an extend is our distrust in God the father. When we trust him we love him, all FEAR vanishes . Fear is replaced by love .Perfect love replaces fear. Then what is craved for is how I can please God . Which amounts to the question .Acts 22:10 . What should I do ?
Ans: That which is predestined upon one's life as will of God.
Can we say Jesus loved the father unless He executed the will of God upon His life . Its will of God that contains the content of what's mine ! OTHERS.This is more evident in the relationship between a mother and child .In the begining the mother loves the child.She does everything required for the child.As the child matures slowly the child starts to realise it and then instead of just receiving , starts to give back what ever possible . Which is not as a law or rule or any act done with any sort of compulsion .
Hebrews 10:5-8.Father God did not impose upon son Jesus .It was instead the response of Jesus love to Father thus doing the perfect will of father.There is nothing more greater an experience than loving the Father which is executing His will .
What else can a child do for its mother ?

Hebrews: 10. 9. Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13. From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. -
The relationship between the will of God and what is mine . There is a unbreakable relationship between will of God and the people given to us by God in any situation. Remove my own people from one's life and try to evaluate the will of God in one's life.We would see how futile or meaningless it becomes. Often will of God is interpreted into so many possessions from materialistic things of this world.The will of God is pertaining to the people that God has entrusted to one another with various glorious and divine intentions or purposes.In Noah time it was saving the people from flood .Genesis 6.
In Abraham' time it was the generation that was will of God . In Moses time it was the children of Israel that was the will of God upon Moses.Same was the case with Joseph.Then the same is the case with prophets .Later on Christ came as end of Law .ROM.10:3-4.Salvation of mankind .Revelation 5:9
Will of God upon Jesus is totally the prophecy through the word about Jesus interconnected with the whole humanity.Luke 24: 44-45.Discerning this made the greatest sense to revelation by holy spirit all spiritual truths to Jesus as well as predecessors.
Remove what is mine from life, the revelation becomes meaningless. In our life too, discerning the will of God becomes crystal clear when we properly discern what is mine .John 17 is clearly shows the depth of meaning of 'What is Mine .'
The relationship with what is mine . The interconnection with what is mine .
Also why its important both of above can only be revealed by holy spirit rather than human wisdom .Its because of this we see Paul' reliance only on holy spirit for revelation of salvation of Gentile population .Eph 2-3.He becomes attached to the gentiles .
The gentiles become 'What is mine' of Paul . Rest of everything becomes of no value .He devotes his whole time, meaning, purpose of his life to the cause of will of god which is the salvation of gentiles. The value of gentiles becomes so much invaluable to Paul by virtue of revelation .ROM.8:12-17,Galatians 4:28,Galatians 3:12-13,ROM 11
All of above describes the increasing value in gentiles as intended in will of God. About which Paul is so convinced .
ROM 8:29-32 .Revelation of glorious value makes possessing' what is mine' meaningful. If revelation of value is not there then 'what is mine' becomes more of a distraction pain or trouble .Its purpose is interpreted with distorted meaning of only conforming to this world which is what's today's world is after .ROM.12:2. Salvation, sharing of God's glory & presence of God --all have taken a back stage , that a serious doubt about holy spirit and His anointing like in initial church is becoming a myth .Where is the holyspirit ? Why god is not speaking to us like early days in bible ,Do I have the holy spirit etc etc
Why church appears dull ,of not much meaning to us ? Why prosperity theology finds greater response as spirituality .?
Why basic spirituality always centers around receiving of worldly things as sole motive of interaction with God ?
Analysing our prayers too sees this only as major cause or purpose to interact with God

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. -
The will of God in our lives often becomes a confusion .The main reason is discerning what is mine is done in own wisdom .
Wisdom of this world .1 john 2:15-16. 'What is mine ' if discerned by spirit, then we possess truly what is mine !
Which is same as what belongs to God . In discerning this we are able to understand the revelation of holy spirit in the right context .Every moment becomes a reason of God executing only His will, covenant, promise ,love, mercy.Where each interaction becomes enriched by wisdom than confusion, fear or doubt . Hope always increase .The thoughts and ways of God become one with each one of us .But it becomes reality only under guidance of holy spirit. For this ,always praying in spirit is a greatest need .

John: 17. 23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. -
It is true God is Love .God only loves always .Yet the question is why don't I experience this love of God as such always !
Once in a while , I experience the love of God in something or the other. Not always ! So where is the issue ? Well the mystery is that ,the love of God lies in our connection with others . When others are made victorious through the word and light ,we experience the love of God . This results in executing the will of God . When we make others victorious through word of God and its Light, the same word of God and Light remains in our own minds with a greater consciousness & conviction resulting in greater faith . A greater continuous interaction with the holy spirit such that we experience the love of God .
This is the joy of making others victorious. Most often when we are busy running the race of life, others are often ignored to such extend that only pursuit of personal victory becomes main priority of life.Others find least priority .In the process we lose successful interactions with holyspirit as well as with others .Both interactions become just unwanted, meaningless actions that creating more doubt ,more fear ,more frustration added to life. Never leave any interaction with others without adding word of God . Look at all saints from Noah, Moses ,Abraham, prophets .......Jesus apostles ....
They always interacted with others with word of God .They strengthened each other in every situation with word of God .
In doing so each situation encompassed a participation, contribution, enrichment with surety by God & ourselves .
Where ever God is included result is ---Peace ,Love ,Joy ,Happiness,Courage ,Victory,Hope,Salvation ,Growth,Purging of fear, frustration,anger ,hatred . etc.
Often when we evaluate our interactions we can divide it into two categories:-
One --we interacted with others for our personal gain .
Other --We interacted with others when Others interacted with some others for their personal gain .
In the second part what really happens ?
We most often ignore it ,shy away from it in a manner by giving excuses like we I don't have the time .I am busy ,occupied ,etc. Little do we realise in these occasions we are indirectly telling Jesus , to stay out of our lives at this moment .Our mind is getting filled with more doubts about situations . Satan takes advantage of the situation . 1 peter 5:8
He uses the instant to pump into our mind with more questions like burning darts that throw us like chaff in our own situations .
Examples of Saints and Jesus are given as reference.Luke 24: 44-49 , Acts1: 2-3 Mat 18:20-35, Mat 7:1-12Gen 6: 22,Ex 3:13-14,Heb 3:12-13 Eph 6:12-18, John 9:1-10, Mark 6:1-3,John 17: 6-8, John 11: 21-45

John: 17. 6. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 7. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. -
What is mine is the PEOPLE you have given me from the world.What you gave me is what is mine.What is mine -which are the people of the world are recipients of your Love . You love them just as you love me .What is mine is blessed by love of God .
All people I interact are mine .They are blessed by love of God .Therefore I believe you are my greatest asset for you are recipient of God's love .When I have you as mine, I experience the love of God .I experience the will, its depth ,its nature ,its strength ,its purpose-- all of God. The PEOPLE of the world are MINE. ! YOU ARE MINE.
Through you I experience the will of God . Remove you from me --Its equal to ignoring the will of God from my Life.
Prayer
Dear father .Open my minds eye to discern the people you have given me from this world as mine .Make me see the love with which you love them . Make me experience your will upon my life through them .Which is the content or light of your WORD.
Amen .

John: 17. 24. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. -
Whatever is mine is surely to behold the glory of God. The purpose of what is mine ! God is to reveal His glory through what is mine . With what sincere objectivity ,absolute surety should I take care of the precious flock God has given me ! Only by giving what it needs always .Impart that which results in revelation of God's glory . Wisdom related to eternal life .Today as we celebrate easter ,Jesus has given us this eternal life .Let us too make it a point to impart the whole impact of being raised with Christ to what is mine .What is mine should be so thrilled by what God intends for it ! Jesus too was so thrilled by what God intended for what is His .Are we thrilled likewise by what is ours ! What is mine is always object of God's glory . To see God revealing His glory , I will only look at what is mine .Never with a lesser attitude . Come what may ,whatever be situation only one thing will happen .Can happen .God's glory would be its result! John 9: 1-3
I bless you all with such a bold thrill on this day of easter with such a surety .In you God is revealing His glory today . What I expect to happen in every situation you are undergoing is
only one thing to happen
Only one thing to happen
Only one thing to happen
God's glory would be its result .
Happy Easter Rom 8: 29-39,
1 Corinthians: 3. 6. I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. -
What is mine is made to grow by God ! What is mine is made to grow by God . You are mine !
God makes you grow to reveal His glory .

John: 17. 10. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. -
The importance of knowing what is mine ! The importance of knowing what is mine determines the value I have to give to it.
In which way it has to be treated . How it is to be taken care of. How I have to interact with it. What's the nature ,behaviour, character of what is mine . How do I associate with it. Does it have a static or dynamic property . What is my attitude towards it . How important is it to me. Does it have a place in my mind ! Should it have a place in my mind . Am I hating it or loving it.
Am I gathering necessary wisdom about what is mine . Is there a value addition to what is mine in any manner . Should I contribute to value addition to what is mine . How does what is mine interact with me . The second half of what is mine .
We attach its connection with God based on first half and its consciousness. For anything or everything that a child of God receives is result of God's promise ,covenant and will.Therefore its importance to God is really a matter to be discerned.
For what ever God has given to his child is perfect, a necessity & part of goodness . God has given it for execution of His will . On such account both God as well as the child of God should attach equal importance . Look at Moses ! He was given the children of Israel . They were slaves in Egypt. They were to be enriched with word of God .They were the result of God's will, promise, covenant to Abraham . Understanding this fact Moses learns to attach himself to them . Learns to travel with them.
Asking God's help for taking care of them . Knowing with absolute surety what's going to be the outcome with them . This was revealed in exodus 3-4 chapters.This resulted in proper attitude formation for interaction . How to travel with it.How God will provide for it.How God will protect it . How it is a part of His will to every goodness. Joseph realised this .Genesis 45:5-7
God has send me before you for a great purpose . We live a life without proper discerning of what is mine . Therefore its importance to God is not discerned. Jesus has given His life ! To what is his. He interacts every second with what is his.
In Luke 4 even when Satan tempted him, nothing could divert his attention .He was so sure about his flock .This led to know God's will upon his flock .How He should take care of it .How he should understand their nature . Be with it .Tend it etc.
The importance of the word to be given to the flock . How to attach to the flock .What's the will of God upon the flock.
The important need of God was attached to the flock .Hebrews 10:5-8
Why he was send to the flock. John 10:10-17, John 14/16/15 etc
I am the good Shepherd.The way .The life .Eternal life has to be given .Salvation is necessity. Hope, faith ,healing is required.
Nature of flock is to be discerned in order to tend to it. Holy spirit is impartation needed so that flock will receive every blessing of God. Take care of flock by your word.When I was with them not one was lost except the son of peridition that too was because of Your will .Your word, promise ,covenant with your flock determines my life and attachment to it.
See life of Paul.
Ephesians 3:1-7 .Briefly define how or why he is an apostle to gentiles . Why he opted to be with gentiles with such clarity.
Surety . How much time ,effort ,value ,life, pain Paul gave in for taking care of gentiles . What he disowned as not his .
How he left many things.How he was interacting with God with respect to gentiles.How Paul understood the revelation about both his life & God's will upon himself .God's will upon gentiles. Romans 11 the whole chapter is this mystery !
Full chapter of Eph2 -How the gentiles were part and parcel of God's will, promise & covenant.
Galatians 3 as well
Gal 3:12-13- How repentance salvation eternal life remission of sin is applicable to gentiles .
What's connection of law & what's the purpose of law- ROM.10:4 Jesus came as end of law.
Why gentiles are children of light .So they have to be lead by light . Eph 5:8-9, Isaiah 42:6-9
What importance God has with gentiles . So why to be a disciple to gentiles .Be a witness of Jesus to gentiles .
How to take care of gentiles.What belongs to Paul .Why Paul needed holy spirit to interact with gentiles .
Why Jesus died for gentiles too.How sure Paul was about gentiles
ROM 1:16- I have complete confidence about the scripture.How old testament new testament is interconnected .Ministry of new covenant!
Acts 22:10 ,Acts 9:1-7- What made this radical change in Paul with respect to his way of interacting with gentiles from judging them, killing them to loving them more than everything else !
1 john 2:16-17 - How importance is doing will of God upon once life .
It is based on discerning - What is mine . What is belonging to God.
If the above interconnection is not realised we lose everything .
Rom8: 16-31, Heb 9: 11-18, John 21: 15-19, Luke 24 : 44-51, Acts 2: 2-24, Ex 3: 4-14

Mark: 11. 24. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. -
A common saying among us.Don't lie. Tell the truth . I will not believe lies.But what's the reality? Do we really believe truth or lie ? Well reality is we believe in lies . Surprised ? Look at ourselves ? We believe our thoughts, imaginations and assumptions as truths . Isaiah 55:8 God says our thoughts are not His thoughts .Do we accept God's thoughts instead of our thoughts in current moment .God's thoughts are His word. His word is truth .Therefore our thoughts are not true .They are negative lies construed in fear .We pray even assuming our fear to be a reality .Have we ever analysed our subject of prayer , was it right or fear based as if God was doing everything wrong ? Till today have we told God in prayer that you did right till & now I have come only to Thank you . Example ...Psalms 107:20 You send your word and healed me .
I thank you for I am healed . I believed your word than my word !Therefore thank you Lord !
Or I believe I am sick .Truth is also that I am sick . I request you to heal me .I doubt if you would heal me .Anyway I pray .Hope you would heal me .
See ?
What do we believe .Truth or lie .Ask ourselves . Never make a fear based prayer to God . Make only faith based, courage based prayer declaring that I trust you Jesus ; I love you Jesus therefore I accept not what I assume ,think, imagine or FEAR instead what you have promised or become a mediator for me . John 17:17 Only your word is truth .
Yesterday I spend one full day behind an electrical problem in a circuit. Then I called a friend, told my problem .He told me the solution .I did it as per what he instructed me .The problem was solved .I was surprised at what happened .
Why did I trust my friend's word ! And acted upon it . I loved Him . Therefore i did what he told me ! I cast away my thoughts ,assumptions ,fear ,doubts etc & was ready to listen rather than doubting what I heard . I called my friend and thanked him .
He asked me why I trusted his word . I just told him that I LOVED him . He told me ,"Brother can you pray for me .I suffer kidney stone ." He narrated the fear, pain ,money ,treatment etc. I asked him finally a question What did God say apart from doctors , others, as well as yourselves. He said God did not say anything .I asked him when did you pray .
Ans .Every day .
I told him God revealed psalms 107:20 now ,while talking to you. Therefore you are not sick but already healed .
Just change the thoughts that you are sick, for that is lie and truth is what God says !!!!!!!!! Do you believe in truth or lie !
He called back after an hour .Joy, happiness ,love, faith ,hope was expressed . As he was really healed . Yes believed in the word .
Loving Jesus- Means trusting His word . Jesus too loved what the Father told him . John 5:17-20. Because Jesus loved Father & trusted Him. Do we trust our fear more than God and His word ?
A second friend asked me .What's praying in spirit ? I asked him ,"Do you believe that Jesus is arisen ! 2 cor 3:17".Resurrected Jesus is spirit. So are you speaking to raised Jesus or to whom .
OK.
So raised Jesus will talk back or not ?
Doubtful !
Are you raised with him ! If so its your spirit talking to holy spirit is talking in spirit.Which is son and Father talking ,exchanging love and trust . Which is never a fear based talk but courage based ,faith based talk only . But this is not understood by the flesh body person .Assisted by holy spirit . 1 Cor.14:2 .Praying in spirit is talking to God .Its everything required in prayer .
Pray in spirit ,Pray in spirit ,Pray in spirit ,Hear Lord speak . Even without we realising - Surely ,Definitely,Not sometimes ,Currently ,Now .
Both my friends were surprised at the outcome . I bless you all .My friends in Christ .Today .
Col3:1-0, Mat 16: 21-28. May good Friday bring a rekindled faith like Jesus who trusted his father to raise him on third day.
We too were raised . Not going to be raised .
Its recap of what happened , so our juniors down the generation would know it from our lives too !

Romans: 8. 26. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. -
Praying in fear is not the right prayer of Faith . Mark 11:23-24. Praying in courage is praying in Faith.Praying in courage and faith results in increase of hope . This results in victory in spirit . It amounts to praying in spirit .Therefore praying in spirit is need of the hour . Pray in spirit,Pray in spirit ,Pray in spirit..,Pray in spirit for both oneself as well as for others! Ignore how we perceive the situation or others or ourselves . Don't worry .First pray in spirit .See the difference .Thirst for praying in spirit.

1 Corinthians: 13. 13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. -
The importance of being conscious and growing in eternal hope currently .Escaping from the clutches of frustration of life .
As life is moving fast with interaction ,with situation or people gathering momentum , expectations are high about everything .
Anxiety becomes a common factor that kills and ruins the mind . Takes the peace from the mind.To tide over ,the only solution is growth in eternal hope . This is possible only through prayer in the holy spirit.The benefit is that no situation in any manner will conclude or appear as endpoint creating panic or fear of death thus avoiding sleeping pills or anti depressants .When we become more self-centered anxiety elevates to such extent that even a tiny little one dirham issue is all it takes to snap the mind into a state of total chaos . Mathew 16:21. Jesus should have been the person with peak anxiety given the situation that he had to face all the way leading to cross .But as he was fast approaching the cross instead of becoming frustrated or being filled with anxiety we see Him growing in hope, joy-- The prince of Peace .
How ?
Abiding in holy spirit growing in eternal hope . Not in flesh but in spirit
Please pray in spirit ,Please pray in spirit ,lease pray in spirit
Grow in eternal hope not by own strength of wisdom .

Matthew: 16. 21. From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. -
Growing in eternal hope and relying on holy spirit calls for discerning the relationship and the attitude inside the relationship.
Being one with Father is the attitude . But is that what actually happens ?
For example.
We go to a shop to buy a commodity . The following things happen .We meet the sales man.He greets us with a great smile .
We smile likewise. Within moments comes the question - What can I do for you ?
From this moment two things are clear very evidently . He wants to sell his goods at the best possible price & we want to buy it at the least possible price . Interaction starts with this attitude in mind . Its like one wants to defeat the other . Both try a tug of war with various intellectual statements trying to win the cause of argument. Even if the sale is closed ,the relationship is not very balanced . Emotions runover.., oh I was deceived or cheated or treated unfairly or I got the upper hand etc grinning in mind !
Was there any oneness between both ! Oh No.
It was just another casual passing by relationship like that made in a train journey which lasts for a week . Once the journey is over, relationship is closed & discarded. This is a relationship with no oneness . Often our relationship with God is centered around similar theme . Asking, demanding with an objective I want to get what I want . I want to win with God based on my demands . Nothing else matters. If anything different happens, then our relationship is cast away as trash.This is not oneness with God . God never deals with us in such a manner . Even if we are unfaithful He remains faithful .His nature cannot change .For Him we are more important than our curious demands.Growing in hope and holy spirit is truly based on such a beautiful sincere relationship that has a foundational attitude that cares more for the personality of God rather than the demanding objectivity of individual which remains always an unceasing need which stops only with death . If so ask myself ,did I love God or love my demands ! My oneness, was it with my demands or with God ? Does the other person feel they have to be supercareful with you or else they will get cheated or unfair treatment vented out for advantage of himself . Becoming one with God results in becoming one with man .
John: 17. 22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
2 Timothy: 2. 13. If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Revelation about eternal hope ; growth in eternal hope ; consciousness in eternal hope is all in spirit . Which is revealed by the holy spirit Praying in spirit is need of the hour .Prophecies are getting fufilled as each day passes by .
It may be impossible for the normal flesh body mind to comprehend. Frustration will be a common factor . Sailing through the storms of life calls for growth in spirit assisted by the holy spirit. For servants are needed , harvest is yet many . Servants remaining sober is need of hour . Remaining sober is not once in a blue moon requisite .Its an every day need .
A very good example is life of Noah or Moses . Both had to remain in sober state each day to be of useful to both God and Man . 1 Cor 13: 13

John: 14. 1. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Troubled mind or frustrated mind is quite a natural experience to any one . But to discern the cause of a troubled or frustrated mind is often over looked. Two areas where troubled or frustrated mind becomes a reality is when situation becomes seemingly impossible for our mind - brick wall ! Human relationship goes haywire beyond level of understanding . In both cases fear or panic too is at its pinnacle.
Why or how we run into such rough sea rocky situation?
Even the disciples who were with Jesus suffered the same dilemma when Jesus was sleeping they were awake and all travelling in a boat. In a much exasperated condition they were crying out ! Master don't you know we will drown?
Fear of death is the root .Fear of death also takes the shape of end point of a situation or relationship . But now let's see it from God's point of view. If God was to be frustrated He should be with situation or Us mankind or devil or none of the three ?
Normal answer should be -All the three . But the reality is that, God is never frustrated or troubled . But why or how ?
In front of God everything is predestined with the objective of regaining lost glory as well as eternal life . In such a regain principle each moment leads to impartation of a wisdom that makes a child see with a greater clarity & consequential growth brings about peace, love, joy ,happiness, victory, faith & hope .
Never despair ! Never failure . Prophecy is all about victory eternally . When mind loses relationship with eternal hope, result is frustration or troubled mind . Real connection with eternal hope is not an experience in flesh but in spirit . Its this eternal hope rekindled by holy spirit , makes a kick start to a dynamic mind . Which every christian should experience today . As Jesus entered the city knowing well what's ahead of him & also the victorious ending of his story after three days ! His rising !!! Being in a raised state is an experience in spirit not in flesh .We often search for raised state in flesh which is not the reality .
Promise is in spirit . Its the mind that has to undergo a raised state attitude that motivates into dynamic victorious state, never afraid of situation or behaviour of men; as both are emotionally driven by nature . Both change as long as it is there .
God never changes .
We in flesh are conditioned to fluctuating changes in behaviour or character at our own convenience . We do not realise its difficulty ,frustration or trouble it gives others . Most of the time our static mindset ,devoid of eternal hope is the root problem or cause . It refuses to budge . Allowing the mind to move with a fresh start is possible only under interaction with holy spirit in prayer
Pray in spirit ,Pray in spirit ,Pray in spirit
Get relieved from frustration . Surely prayer in spirit is the solution . Mat 8:23-27

Hebrews: 2. 14. For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. -
Fear of death is the greatest ignorance that haunts the mind in every situation . This fear of death holds its root to the flesh body in the mind.This results in issue based relationship with both God and Man . Where by true relationship with holy spirit or the real purpose of relationship with holy spirit is not enjoyed . True relationship with holy spirit being achievement of Eternal Life and salvation . Thus regaining the lost glory . Romans 3:23-29

1 Corinthians: 15. 19. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. -
Discerning ignorance is more tough than discerning wisdom. It may appear nonsense. But reality is such.For ignorance cannot be discerned with ignorance . Like when Adam and Eve were deceived , fell under sin & lost glory , the generation down the line did not realise the severity of the fact. But lived a life of ignorance . Every decision was made in ignorance . Fearing everything . Every action has its root in fear . Doubt or loveless life arises because of such a fear. Lovelessness abounds to such heights that parents love world than children .Conforming children to the world has become the rule of the day. Competition is increasing in every walk of life . Anxiety has become a standard catalyst instilled into every society as a acceptable form of lifestyle. Behaviour & character is devalued . Gain of this world is everything . Value for man is losing grounds to such a level that birth becomes just another means to procure more of the world. Real problem with discerning holy spirit in everyday life is based on the very fact that ignorance is not discerned .Living in ignorance is more convincing than to live in wisdom. The parable of the rich young man who made and stored grain was advancing again in making a new barn is the best example.
All the parables are pointers to this very same truth.
The greatest being Jesus came to save . Salvation is an unwanted commodity.
What's needed is more of this world. 2 Pet 3:3-18, Heb 2:14-15, Eph 2:2-8, 1 Thes5:8-11, Mat 16:25-27, Luke 12:16-32, Tit 3:3-5
Issue based human relationship is result of conditioned life derived from ignorance being conceived as wisdom.
And greater wit ! Rolling in it like the pig rolling in filth 1 Cor 2:6--14
Remove issues, reason to live is an experience of mockery, Luke 17:11-17

Proverbs: 3. 5. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. -
How the early disciples ardently learned to thirst for the holy spirit ...So much was informed to them about the holy spirit and in great depth by Jesus.His own life and teachings was a direct exhibition of holy spirit . Acts 10:38
For every reason of victory or interpretation he never said or used the incoterm
My thought ,I think ,Etc. Instead my Father has revealed like this and thus it is written . In a day how many times do we express an idea ,opinion or statement in which we affirm , it is written and thus is revealed in our own situation .
Often we say
I think ,I assume , I imagine my opinion Etc
And then we explain a situation . Where is the interpretation that proves we got the understanding based on a revelation from holy spirit. Instead it is very plain and evident, whatever idea ,opinion ,imagination, assumption we formed or transpired is something we ourselves are not sure . In a day when faced with situations how many times unknowingly after raising an affirmation or statement we add
I don't know ,I am confused , God only knows...
All of above pointing to a fact . All the ideas, opinions or statements I make are mine about which I am unsure.This sort of behaviour convinces others that this person is not relying on the holy spirit but on own wisdom. ROM. 8:5-7
A witness of holy spirit too is a requisite to make others convinced that its possible to trust or rely upon holy spirit.This becomes a possibility only when one exhibits a sort of narration about own personal situation and behaviour based on relying on holy spirit .Often we preach to others about faith etc but our own life exhibits otherwise when faced with situation .This causes confusion in others ! Its by our own life being a witness to holy spirit in a continuous manner & that a life can be lived by relying upon holy spirit when others can trust and become convinced about holy spirit.
Example .
Life of Noah from begin to end, Moses ,Joshua ,Joseph , Prophets ,disciples after receiving their anointing .
In one word -After being born again .Is our life and lifestyle different, exhibiting a different personal call that makes us stand out with others with a question !! Why this person is so sure and why he is a lover of human beings rather than his first priority towards world .
Being enslaved by the world -on a personal note !

John: 14. 16-18 .
Knowledge about the holy spirit is equal to wisdom about the holy spirit. Jesus was making the disciples informed about the holy spirit even before holy spirit was send from Father. This was done purposely that the disciples would look for receiving holy spirit upon arrival . Notice the surety of disciples about receipt of holy spirit while it was assumed as some wild party session by the onlookers. Yes even today behaviour of any person under the power of holy spirit is seen thus even so by some believers.
Acts 2 is self explanatory. If Jesus had reason to instruct his disciples about the holy spirit even before his coming, how much more do we too have the reason to instruct the younger generation or fellow generation about the holy spirit. ! ?
Why should a person need holy spirit to such extend more than anything else that he or she should thirst for it more than anything else ?
Thirst for the Holy spirit more than our own wisdom, strength or resource . The input to this is definitely need of the hour. Creating thirst for holy spirit in Others .Luke 24:44-52, Acts 2:1-21, Acts 1: 8 ,Prov 3: 5-7

John: 14. 16. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
CONFUSION is a terrible tragedy.Under confusion anyone is thrown apart head over heels.Handling a situation becomes impossible under confusion.Often results in erratic, unpredictable behaviour . May be dangerous , may be unexpected.May be breaking relationships etc. The common result of confusion is breaking of relationships. Under own wisdom ,strength or resource one cannot but fall prey to confusion .This directly effects human interaction. Ever wondered how or why Moses or Jesus ever managed to always maintain an unbroken relationship with the entrusted sheep.! ! It was under the sole help of the revealer the holy spirit. Each moment of interaction was a result of revealer revealing the meaning or purpose of the situation. When the same was revealed to Joseph he tolerated and included the brothers.When revealer revealed, Jesus accommodated Peter etc also the gentiles. Surprisingly Peter could not accept gentiles by his own strength. He could when the revealer revealed . Result was inclusion of gentiles. Paul could associate successfully which was previously impossible was by revealer revealing .
Acts 9:1-4. The greatest asset of experiencing a serious relationship with holy spirit in a constant manner is victory in human relationship.Which withstands every confusion.How easily human interaction could be broken as if I don't care . Even strangely for what any relationship is made in the first place remains as a surprising question . A thousand doubts with no answer suddenly arise. Which results in loss of joy, happiness ,courage ,faith, eternal life, hope etc. Jesus was never troubled or confused from any behaviour of people .Reason ! He was always taking help from the helper, the holy spirit. Ask ourselves the question ,are we trying the helper when it comes to the area of human interaction ? Or we try to get help from holy spirit only for personal worldly victory.
To be living in eternal life ,its glorious experience ,the greatest being oneness .Assistance from the holy spirit is a regular input so that, interaction without confusion with God as well as with man becomes a POSSIBLITY. Interaction with GOD and MAN becomes a SURETY. This makes sense when Jesus said in Mathew 28:19-20 .I will be with you all days till end of age.
He was sure of us even when we were unsure of our own self. The greatest love we can give others is by teaching them to rely on holyspirit to make a successful ,unbroken, rich human relationship in the midst of a age of total confusion.Where, everyone is hating the other . All it needs, is put two people together for a small period of time.The string of relationship breaks. Instead its strength ,to grow and enjoy every goodness of love, by experiencing God in fullness would be the greatest help one can do to others.John 8:3-15, John 12:47, Acts 9: 1-6, Eph 3:4-7 , Tit 3:3-7, Mat 26: 50, 54,56

At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. -
Experiencing the holy spirit.The need of the holy spirit becomes a reality only when personally one comes into it.
Personally one comes to it only when one starts in the - sent out state. Being in the sent out state is starting the ministry of new covenant. Eccll 11:4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. -
Only after we reach the state of need , revelation becomes a requirement. This is a principle of life. Often we search for resources to do anything before even we start to do the objectivity. Like if we have a AED 100.00 in our purse .
Unless and until thirst becomes thirst and we land in front of a grocery the money in the purse remains an idle resource in a static form. The moment we decide to buy a bottle of water, money in the purse becomes a thing of value. From it we give what ever is the value of water .So the first need is not money but the need of travelling in mind to reach the situation, be it interaction with others or looking for anything. This benefits growth & walking with holy spirit. The church grows only when its leaders allow its members to grow in holy spirit . Giving every opportunity for its members to grow. Mathew 10:20
Jesus sends out His disciples likewise , so each one grows personally in the holy spirit. Which results in individual development.
From Moses, Joshua etc we see this growth. Paul too underwent this growth.
When do we allow this growth in our family ?
Are we over protective when God creates situation for personal growth of His children ?
Acts: 9. 20. And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 21. But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? 22. But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 23. And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: 24. But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 25. Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 26. And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 27. But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28. And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 29. And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 30. Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. 31. Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
Real love of God is desiring individual development in each of His children .The duty of preacher too should be likewise.
So in others too ,walking with will of God to greater glory will be a reality so as to make their joy complete.

Matthew: 10. 13. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
God's love is so intense that when one is led by the holy spirit everything good is expected and for this an always guiding attitude is the net result. How ever to the preacher this may appear good but to the preached this may appear a burden
like an itch . For it amounts to transferring of wisdom always.The flesh body realm of the preached may not always accept this mentality or behaviour. Its the preacher's duty to evaluate this aspect and leave alone until a further time the preached finds it sufficient to receive or is in need. This is the point where Jesus or disciples or Paul did not continuously stay in one place but were visiting or revisiting. This is an aspect that parents too should discern when children are married off. After marriage it is best to leave the couple alone than to meddle into their day to day affairs like before under the sincere interest of guiding them for their better. Similarly spiritual upliftment too is a similar process where the preached too are to be send out by God in their turn to achieve greater sharing of wisdom and glory directly being led by the holy spirit. Its the preacher's objectivity to see that such opportunities are to be allowed to the preached to act on their own at an early stage itself . Proverbs: 27. 14. He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. -
Learning to leave others alone ,to act in freedom of choice is the nature of God. Allowing this freedom must be a divine virtue the preacher or a parent should learn and adhere to. Allowing such freedom only increases learning and gaining experience.

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. -
The great commission was made with so many additives behind it.The reason of the additives are
Romans 10:12-17,ROM 12:2,Luke 24:45-50,John 17:17-23,ROM 8:14-17,Galatians 3:14-21
But to make it a possibility the most important phenomenon had to come into force. Duet 8:3
Man should realise that he should live not by bread alone but most importantly by the word that's coming out of the Lord.
For this both the preacher as well as preached should be brought divinely together in such strange yet glorious manner that both are in need of the same word equally . Both grow in the same word equally . One cannot tell or impose any sort of condition like a business deal. Like, if you need come and give it to me and at my convenience or any sort of superiority and inferiority complex or gender differences or age differences . Revelation 5:8-9,For it includes all nations race languages whole population .The Jews and gentiles are made equal co partners.Ephesians 2:12-21,ROM 11:11-17
For this to become a reality, the situations are created in the master plan of will of God such that the preacher and the preached has the same thirst and hunger for the word of God on a daily regular basis . Which amounts to walking with God .
Receiving from the revealer the holy spirit. Like the parable of the good Samaritan.Which truly explains the how and why of --Moses was send out to Israelites , Joshua was to Israelites ...All prophets to respective generations both as preacher as well as the prophecy to come to pass . Mathew 26:50-54.The famous statement of Jesus always was" This happened for the scripture to be fullfilled or if it does not happen like this how can the scripture be fulfilled. Or how can we become witness to will of God to others without a reason to bind . Therefore when the command is given to go out to philip, he need not worry how ,what ,where, when etc...Its already included in the divine package of God in such a glorious manner that the receiver too is included in the situation .Both are in equal dire straits of situation .Abraham and Issac. Joseph and brothers as in Genesis 45:5-7.The whole theme and reason of Exodus .
Mathew 22:29 .The travel of the word which is the will of God makes ideal situation for preacher and preached. Revelation chapter 6-12, is as a result of creation of these parameters.Its not for one to showoff to another; I am more pious than you or greater than you etc. All have equally fallen short of glory .All equally need same faith and salvation All are equally sinners .
ROM 3:23, 2:Corinth 5:16-20
John 9:3-4 As long as it is day we have to do the work of the One who has send Me.Who sowed, who watered does not matter .Its God who makes it grow.Each situation is therefore made ideal in such a manner that if our attitude is right towards fellow human beings its possible to execute the great commission in our lives like Moses and Paul . Attitude unlike Peter who intially considered gentiles as untouchables .No one is unimportant for God. All are purchased by the same blood. Made righteous by same blood.But again if one has a different objective in life while another too has yet another objective in life its impossible for both to travel together. Moses and Israelites both had same need ,objectivity in the situation . Both experienced the same environment with its stress and strain . Like the mother and child in the womb.Psalms 139:14-17
Why divinely we are brought together as family, church ,society, places & positions in such strange manner . Yes ,God is good all the time, we know it only after it is over . We realise it, after it is over. The Jews did not know until it was over.The disciples did not know until it was over. There is a divine purpose to join people together where both become equally needy of each other for the same cause -Salvation. John 3:16. Once this purpose is achieved each one is send out to respective generation.
Which is the great formation of church being established where one is lighted to lighten . Like how Philip was taken by the Lord to Azotus after his ministry was done with eunuch. Jona is a good example of God making ideal fertile situation to sow the seed.This is in other words are the parables of kingdom of God. John 12: 27-38, 2 Tim 4:5--8, Acts 10:28-44, 1 Cor 3:5-15, 2 Cor 5:16-21, 1 Cor 9: 16-23

Joel: 2. 30. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. 32. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. -
The day of the Lord is not something set to happen after the comfort zone of one's life. Its God created situation where both preacher and the preached are bound together by a divine intervention such that both the preacher and preached remain sober. Both are made equally needy.Both lose any sense of inferiority or superiority complex. Its such a state where always a continuous state of travelling of mind to the will of God becomes a reality. Its here a regular input of spiritual input becomes a reality . This state of mind is sober mind. Resisisting this state of mind in God created situation is a faithless mind.
Which amounts to love growing cold. Mat 24: 4-15
30 March 2017
Johny Philip
Matthew: 24. 12. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. -
Love growing cold ! Received salvation ..Received wisdom about salvation.
Not reciprocating to it with respect to others who too are saved by same blood.
Inspite of receiving the holy spirit. This amounts to the verse Ezekiel 33:1-8.Where one is made watch man .
Responsibility of being a witness.Luke 24:45-48
Romans 10:14-17 says those who received wisdom are those who are send out.Its the duty to travel or walk with God & His Will which reveals more light to lighten each day. In a school, how vital is the responsibility of the teacher to impart wisdom .
It does not mean there is no responsibility on the part of students . The duty on the part of teacher is to sincerely see that the wisdom is imparted in such manner that student is benefited. But a self-centered teacher does only the exercise of coming to school ,justifying herself and taking the salary is truely running away from responsibility. Its putting the whole responsibility on the student . This is the reason why Jesus says,"The Harvest is plenty ,Servants are few ."
To be a servant is to walk along with the will of God which means walking with the mind of others to whom God has equipped and send each one. If one runs away from it; this is as not being sober. 1 peter 5:8. The day of the Lord has started and is fast approaching. Not failing to establish what its intended. Each day is filled with such situation ,that its solution is revelation of Gods glory which is salvation of Soul. Becoming sober ,acting in faith is need of hour. Mat 9:36-38, Hab 2:2-4, Rev 22:17 Love growing cold !! No takers for the cause on a performing nature.

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. 45. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46. And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48. And ye are witnesses of these things. 49. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. -
​
Travelling with wisdom ,truth ,word in mind by receiving it ,acting upon faith, not as adding wisdom but as a dynamic state where action is produced as part of the word executing the purpose to which it is send by God.
Lukose 24:44-49, Isaiah 55:10-12, Mathew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, Mathew 22:29
The word of God was revealed to the prophets of past by God.The total will of God was hidden inside .
Once prophecy was complete Christ came at the right time as end of law. ROM.10:4
From then onwards its lighted to lighten- the action plan of God.For this the Holy spirit is send to each one of us as Helper .
This calls for travelling with light to reveal light .Which is essence of Romans 8:14-17
Being lead by spirit.But its here the dynamic or static mind takes its toll.As in Mathew 9:last two verses. Harvest is plenty-
Servants are few ! This is why Jesus saya in Mathew 24:1-14 when will this happen ?
The Love will grow cold . There will be receivers .There will be less takers.Servants will be limited.Children will be many.
Servants are those who move with the word executing its purpose.
The fire has started on the horizon .
Its moving to take over so all knees will bow.This is not a prophecy that places any prophet superior or listener inferior.
Ezekiel 33:1-8 equally binds both to same will of God. Fire has started on Horizon.Revelation 6-12 is the result.
Rev4: 1-11, Joel 2:1-31

Trusting in the Lord and Him alone is when every other option available to man is totally cut off.
Habakkuk 3:17-18
Its in such a state that we really learn to trust God constantly . Its then we experience the PRESENCE of God.
Its in the experience of presence of God that we experience the love of God. God travelling with man is a day to day exercise. Typical of Moses. Where he asks God to travel with Him .Exodus 33:15
When God alone is our trust, every situation , securities & physical infirmities become invalid reason to progress.
Victory is a surety not by our own strength but by assistance of God . Like the eagle. Isaiah 40:31
Trust in situation is like trusting in lies which we affirm to ourselves. What ever we affirm to ourselves is what we declare to others !. Psalms 40:4
We trust in God when He is above our situation .When situation is justified above God ; our trust is not in God but in situation. When God is replaced by situation result is yielding & green. No situation is ever a hindrance.No thoughts of lies can capture the attention and enslave.Its then travelling or walking with God becomes a reality .As God walked with Moses .Result -Moses trusted in God only. Moses was not given anything to trust other than the PRESENCE of GOD .
Its here as in Mathew 18:18-20 where two or three gather in my name, I AM there becomes a reality. Presence of Lord when experienced by others is the true love of God reality.
For every storm ceases.Peace reigns. Courage ,victory ,hope & faith reigns in everyone.
Travelling in the kingdom of God - amounts to travelling with the mind of God & others in unison sharing the will of God
Jer17:7-8, Isa 40:31, Ps 40: 4, Ex 33:12--15, Josh 1: 5, John 11: 32

1 John: 4. 19. We love him, because he first loved us. -
God loves us .His mind travels with us .His will travels with us .He is sure to save us from the evil one.Through His word His grace ,mercy, patience, kindness & all things are poured out on us. This is a constant continuous process . He does not change in this . He is not concerned about how we are or what we are. The end result is His objectivity. This makes His surety of not changing. This surety leads to love and love only. Hence God is LOVE. But loving God back is another thing.
Without experiencing God's love how can any one say I LOVE GOD. To love God without experiencing God's love is futile . Therefore loving God should be discerned. For this we need to experience it. To experience it should be a constant continuous process. This is possible in two manners. One is receiving of His wisdom . Secondly imparting this wisdom to others with same surety. This surety is under help and assistance of the holy spirit.Without which its impossible.But to do this fear is to be ruled out from our character and behaviour. For with fear comes fight or fighting attitude that breaks the umbilical cord of human relationship. For in the perfect law of love there is no changing .Once selected he does not change. Saving others through faith and ministry of new covenant is how we love God. This results in constant continuous experience of God's love. This amounts to walk with God. This amounts to travelling in mind with God

Romans: 8. 14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. -
Lead by spirit is walking with God. This is travelling with the mind. The greatest hindrance to travelling in mind is fear .
For fear is always associated with fight or fight strategy.When we fear we are under a lie which is also a thought that acts as a negative catalyst bringing the mind to a wrong conclusion. This developes an attitude . Fear is the greatest lie.
Fear is a thought that's not truth. Truth is only word. John 17:17 Your word is truth .sanctify them with thy truth.
Protect them with thy truth. Its only the word of God that has LIFE. John 1:2-4 .God did not use lie because lie does not have Life. Truth is truth because it has the power of God to create eternal life as well as contain the will of God ,covenant and promise.The will of God is also the expression of love of God. God experiences His love when we become victorious by virtue of His will upon us. Realising this, is the phenomenon of loving God as trusting in God .Acting in faith finally is loving God. Loving God back has a deep spiritual reasoning .For we learn to trust what we love . We learn to associate with what we love .Perfect love purges every fear. Loving God is amounting to irradicating fear. If we are fearing anything as of today it needs to be discerned and purged. This brings the mind to standstill. 1 John 2:17, 1 John 4: 17-19

Genesis: 6. 9. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 22. Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. -
Noah walked with God ! Noah did everything God told him.Noah's mind travelled with will of God upon him.
James 2:14-17,Faith without action is dead faith .Faith originates in the mind .It originates in the mind when trust is there .
If trust is not there faith becomes dead ,only doubt remains . This doubting mind is A STATIC mind. Will of God is dynamic always. John 5:17 My father is working this moment . This is his thoughts revealing His love towards man kind.
Isaiah 55:10-11,Jeremiah 9:24.
But why God has a will about man that covers him so much with a covenant and promise ?
Because initially man became recipient to deception that led to losing glory . ROM.3:23 Became slave of Satan.
Became vessel of condemnation and spiritually dead.God had to bring such a helpless man out of this pit.This was a deed out of intense love .A love that's eternal .A love that can be realised only if wisdom in eternal life is discerned.To make us realise this holy spirit grace and word is given to us .John 3:16
This is what Jesus said to Nicodemus.John 3:4-7,One has to be born again .Which Nicodemus found difficult to grasp.
Back to the subject; travelling with the mind is possible only & only with thoughts.Proverb 4:23.Shaped by how you think.
Hebrews 4:12.The word of God is ACTIVE .It is the one that remains .The heaven and earth will pass, the word of God will remain . Eternal life is travelling with the mind eternally .But travelling to achieve what ? Desiring what ? Enoch walked with God .Genesis 5:22 He was taken up with God.Walk with God in mind is possibility only if God is desired in mind.
As God loves man ; man too can love God . One walks in mind or travels with mind only if a desire to the end result or purpose of walking is discerned. This is eternal hope . We have the need to walk with God only in our weakness.
Can we desire help without realising our helplessness? Its like, can I receive water or food without experiencing thirst or hunger? God in His infinite wisdom has seen to it that we experience this helplessness not in physical body alone but in mind . Revelation 22:17
We tend to think like the nine lepers that we can survive this moment if we receive everything we need physically.
No.
2: Peter 3:3-7,1 Peter 5:8,Hebrews 4:1-4 A hardened mind is a faithless mind. Its a mind that trusts on yesterday .
Static mind . Its devoid of walking forward . Its devoid of Eternal hope. John17: 9-20,,James 1:6-11

Matthew: 26. 39. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 40. And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 42. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. 43. And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 44. And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45. Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46. Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. 47. And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. -
Prayer is travelling with the Lord in the mind.Prayer is revelation of God's will.The will and promise of the Lord are dynamic in nature.When revelation of the same is received into the mind the mind accepts it and acts in faith. Mark 11:23-24,John 8:29-30. This is a dynamic mind.A mind that travels with the Lord.Yes we need to travel with the will and promise of the Lord.Often our mind is in stationary state because we are stuck with what ever experience of past . Example in John 11 when Jesus tells the disciples to go with him to Martha, Mary & Lazar' house ,Thomas tells that we will go to die with him .
A week before Jesus was preaching there and the Jews had resorted to stone him. And Jesus had walked away .This had occupied the mind of Thomas.Similarly our minds too are often occupied with experience of past that control us to this moment. This is static mind. Will and promise of the Lord along with the word of Lord are active travelling into eternity.
John 8:29-30-32 . Executing the will of the Lord amounts to a dynamic mind that travels with the revelation. John 12:49-50
Noah made the ark by not just receiving but by acting in faith , he was traveling with the mind to what's being revealed.
Mathew 28:18-20 .The great commission is also travelling with the Lord. Moses travelled with mind based on revelation

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. -
The will of the Lord is not static, its dynamic. Its His will about us, for us ,with us & through us.
ROM 8:14-17, ROM 12:2, Isaiah 55:8-10, Luke 24:44-45
God travels with us eternally loving us through our mind ,waiting eagerly knocking at its door. Revelation 3:20
Sharing His glory. What are we missing ? Crying ? We travel in life with God .We receive His wisdom .Accepting it & acting upon it with faith is need of the hour. Living by faith is what's needed.But if our mind is distracted then we are at loss.
Its here we find life pretty confusing or meaningless. Mathew 26:54,Mathew 26:50,John 11:40,Mathew 28: 18-19-20 the great commission.
We often tend to think ,its with physical body that we travel along with one another. Truly we may be sitting next to one another in a bus ,car ,plane or motor bike . Eating lunch together. Living together as church mates . But within the minds, it would be world apart. Mathew 18:18-20,John 17:23,Proverbs 4:23
However its with the thoughts that we are able to travel together, sharing ,caring, enriching, anointing& blessing one another. This happens by receiving individually the will of Lord upon our lives and sharing it with one another. Like Noah ,Abraham, Moses, prophets, Jesus, apostles & disciples of Jesus as in Acts. Only then,loving one another really occurs .
Kingdom of God is revealed in us among others .Mathew 4:17. This is why we are placed in heaven . Ephesians 2:6-7
Are we able to travel with the mind of Lord as well as with Others ?
We have been blessed with the holy spirit to reveal the total will of God.1 cor2:7-12
Yet where are we ?
1 cor. 3:16,Temple of the holy spirit.Mat 25:14-45, Mat 25:10-13,
Travelling in the kingdom of God amounts to travelling with the mind of God & others in unision sharing the will of God

Isaiah: 40. 11. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. -
Relationship of speed of life and wisdom .We have life which is moving at a particular speed unnoticed. This life has to produce a result as per the will of God pertaining to it. This result or the fruits depend on the receipt of wisdom & our actions accordingly.Living this life rejecting wisdom, faces a realm what we call "situation". Then situation appears to be a meaningless struggle.
We ought to understand that our life is not stationery.To make life victorious in every manner its mandatory to achieve wisdom .For we see what's lying ahead only through wisdom. The interaction with others are meaningful when wisdom is gathered as the endpoint of interaction .Which is eternal life and eternal hope. Consciousness about eternal hope results in a consistent attitude without fail.For this, its important that we gather wisdom about eternal life on daily basis.

1 Peter: 1. 9. Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 10. Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11. Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. -
End of faith is salvation of soul.Once we personally experience the salvation of soul or the experience of being born again then we hold the reason of interaction with others with this attitude ,hope and joy.So that others too are saved
When Jesus came into this world we were lost. Eph 2:1-2; 12. But his attitude and behaviour towards us was based on the end point , because he knew all these were due to the deception of devil. He did everything to save us and make us children of God.
For this God has send us his holy spirit . To assist us in the ministry ,which is the consistent attitude required so that the holy spirit can use us. 2 Timothy 4:10 Paul says about Dumas who fell in love with world and could not be use full
1 john 2:15-17 ,We too are forewarned of this .Doing the will of God is the perfect thing to be practiced
In order to complete the will of God it needs the attitude of end point of relationship that Jesus had in us too. Eternal hope and salvation of soul.Its then our interaction with others become purpose filled .Assisted by holy spirit.Then there is a joy like that of Jesus .Hebrews 12:2.With this attitude and mindset ,there is always the outflow of life giving water .Which helps to rekindle as well as transform both ourselves as well as others. Which is ministry of new covenant. 2Cor.3:5-7
This is the real brotherhoodness that prevail in every interaction what ever be the form of relationship.Look at Joseph .
He had enough reasons to justify.But the end point of relationship was salvation based on promises of God.Genesis 45:5-7
He could have very well ignored it.Spirituality becomes meaningful only if salvation of soul is first priority. John 9:3-4
To have a constant attitude ..Not one that oscillates between this world and salvation of soul .

Exodus: 32. 9. And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 10. Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. 11. And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 12. Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. 13. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. -
Moses interacted with the children of Israel with such a true Brotherhoodness that endpoint of his relationship with them is clearly defined in his reply to God. Verse 13.Remember your promise to Abraham, Issac & Jacob. The relationship between Moses and children of Israel also shows a twist ,when in Numbers 14:1-10 the children of Israel opt for a new leader.
Always don't expect others to realise or discern the end point of a relationship. Even the disciples did not discern this at the time when Jesus came entered his trial. There is a spiritual growth required to discern this . Without a very defined end point the cause and reason for holding a relationship becomes futile. In Ephesians 3:5-8 ,we see Paul being convinced about the gentiles being part of God's great promise.He being the apostle dedicated to gentiles.Without this endpoint there is no reason or cause for his relationship .Even when he reaches the end of his life he is so much convinced and joyous about the crown of life ,as promise of God. Look at Joseph in genesis 45:5-8 where the end point of relationship is so clearly discerned to Joseph but not realised by his brothers. Joseph is able to hold and maintain it till the end of his life
In the case of Elijah and Elisha we see the same end point of relationship as promise of God which created the brotherhoodness.
In today's world system, we follow or practise various relationships which are expected to be maintained.
Husband, wife .
Father, mother .
Brother ,sister .
Inter church ,society etc.
Class mates etc
All end up prematurely due to the main reason that the end point of relationship was not discerned . Everything was connected to just the matters of the current world and its objectivity. God framed his relationship with man with an end point . john 3:16,Salvation of soul. We too ought to discern this parameter and find the end point of relationship as salvation of soul. On the contrary, if its just a life devoted with all sincerity of this world alone , the end of relationship does not yield fruit but just meaninglessness. Life will end as a disaster.The rich man and Lazar is a good example .He had five brothers .He lived well .Endpoint of it was losing hope about salvation of his brothers .
Ezekiel 33:1-8,Shows the sentry and his duty.
Psalms 49:7-9, Shows how impossible and tough its trying to make the end point of relationship succeed.
Its here in revelation 5:8-9,Jesus truly paid the price of soul and salvation.
Its here he defines Mathew 16:21-24 the endpoint of his relationship.
In luke 24:45-50 the anointing of the holy spirit is all about truly revealing the end point of relationship. Today relationship with holy spirit is not in a satisfactory manner. Hundreds of questions and doubts are remaining .The main reason is failure to discern the end point of relationship.
Why holy spirit is revealer of Will of God ? That's for the salvation of soul.
Trusting in the holy spirit . Philip 1:4-5 He who started the good works in you shall complete it unto end of age.
What is hoped to be achieved as target at end of a relationship?
Abraham travelled .Issac travelled.Jacob travelled .To a purpose of promise of God that includes the generations .
Noah overcame the flood . The promise of salvation .
Preaching as in romans 10:14-17 ,Becomes a need and reality only when the true end point of a relationship is discerned.
This was why even Jesus , full of holy spirit started his ministry preaching about the kingdom of God. Which includes the reason to include humanity into salvation .Which has Brotherhoodness as the true element.Relationship is maintained till the second coming with a great hope and joy.Waiting patiently so that no one is lost. Eternal life wisdom is a reason to be preached to a partner in relation what ever or who ever be its recipient. So one is send out as evangelist exhibiting the light. Mathew 5:14-15, 2 Tim 4:5-22, 2 Pet 3:8-18

John: 17. 20. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21. That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: -
Trusting in the holy spirit is loving God. Loving God is loving man.Loving man is brotherhoodness.Brotherhoodness is a result of constant growth in faith .Which is walk with God. Relationship achieves meaning based on real meaning of end point of relationship. At the end of a relation what is the result ?
A cow is a domestic animal.We keep and maintain it for giving us milk , for nourishment.
We send children to school.The teacher maintains a relationship with the student by imparting education as per a curriculum that enriches the student turning him into a successful mature person.
Similarly each of us by what ever relationship we hold with one another there is a question which needs to be answered.
What's the true end point in the relationship? Unless the reason is not fathomed ,realised, the true purpose of relationship is not achieved. Salvation of Soul is the main objectivity.2 peter 1:5-7 .The family becomes the smallest unit of church only if Salvation of Soul is the first priority. Often this becomes the second priority, then the existence in the relationship becomes just fullfilling of individual worldly intentions that are purely of worldly nature. It ceases as the age progresses like the teacher and student relationship , where as the child reaches the end of an year or tenth grade, the reason to stay together is over.
The lineage from Adam down to Jesus is an evidence of this great purpose .A relationship that has promise of God as first priority which strengthened every type of physical relationship too. Its not just about child bearing, education, marriage of the child and repeating the same process all over again ---leaving us with a the question , All for what ? !!!
Mathew 26:24. Trusting in the holy spirit, living in the kingdom of God and being led by the holy spirit with the promise of God really finds its root when the generation is saved. ROM 11 is a detailed analysis of this subject . The total count of the generation of gentiles needs to be achieved.
Meaning and result of relationship.2 Pet 1:3-7, Rom 11: 25-29, Mat 22:23-40, Luke 17:20--37, 1 Thess 4: 13- 17, 1 john 3:1-3, 1 Cor 15: 14-26, Mat 26: 24

Joshua: 1. 5. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 6. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. -
The storms of life. Earthquake is a real shaker. With its destruction comes chaos and confusion.It has a point called the epicentre. The maximum destruction point where intensity is greatest.Magnitude is greatest.The storm of life is not outside but inside one's mind.The epicentre is inside the mind.Maximum destruction ,confusion is inside the mind.
Leading by the holy spirit is always ahead of ONE'S LIFE. Our own opinion, thoughts,ideas, attitudes & conclusions are lagging signals. The difference between a leading signal and a lagging signal is that the leading signal gives clear indication before an incident . Lagging signal gives an indication after the incident. Which is better ? Of course the leading signal or indicator is to be opted. The holy spirit always is the leading indicator because he is the revealer of God's perfect will.Rom. 12:2, ROM.8:12
Children are lead not by lagging indicators but by leading indicators ie.., reason for any situation is revealed not after the incident but before the incident.The cause and reason is the sharing of glory of God.To trust in the holy spirit always than trust in our own strength.
Joshua was commanded .You don't be the creator.I am the creator. Often we tend to become the creator. Using our own wisdom, strength ,assets we create a hundred options or models none of which are competent to provide an ideal solution.
Only to add more fuel to fire. Our mind becomes an epicentre of storm to such an extend that total chaos is the result.
The holy spirit always is the leading indicator where his idea ,opinion, thoughts & plans drives our life and situation .
Stop being creator by ones own self. The storm will calm at that moment. Luke: 8. 23. But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. 24. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. 25. And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. -
When we allow Jesus to be our leader rather than ourselves in our mind, the storm settles. Peace reigns . For its God who is in control .john 5:19 The Father loves the son and reveals everything . Today is having a definite purpose that's already predestined to shower upon you all His blessings.
2 Corinthians: 8. 9. For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. -
Only accept to oneself who is the poor. Each day we are the poor.We need to become the RICH.We are made rich.
In order to become rich we need to submit our poorness to Jesus .Only then His richness can flow into us. Today rely not on your own assets, strength or wisdom. Stop being in static attitude. Start being in dynamic attitude.A dynamic attitude always walks ,never stops or walks back. Walk with God needs trusting God..
Luke: 17. 11-19. The nine leapers after being made whole started out on their own . Its here we start trusting on our own wisdom, strength, assets etc. The real failure is poverty of leaning on our ignorance.We are indirectly saying no to God's glory.Stop saying no to God's glory upon our own life.Start sharing God's glory upon our life TODAY.

Malachi: 3. 14. Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts? -
The greatest talking that we do is talking to our own selves.This talking is often negative affirmations against us.These affirmations are based on our own wisdom.These affirmations reject the wisdom of holy spirit.This is amounting to rejection of holy spirit by us. This leads to distancing from will of God. This leads to a fight with God resisting God.Real stubborn nature .If we realise this we are the most blessed people. As others too undergo the same nature.Its this we need to be healed about . The inner healing. Once this inner healing happens we are sure about our own selves. We are free from opinion ,view & attitudes of others. Every situation is an opportunity for each person.We encourage others too to see theirs in their own life with surety.

Jeremiah: 17. 7. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? -
Trust in the Lord is possible not by the strength of flesh.Trust in the Lord is possible only through trust in the holy spirit.For its the holy spirit who reveals the very intentions or purpose of God.Jeremiah 9:23-24 Lean not on own wisdom. Often the problem is getting caught up in own wisdom and formation of attitudes that create judgement. Murmur is the result. Exodus 5:22
Murmuring is exhibited by Moses. Various examples are there in the bible.
We need to realise what really happens while murmuring. Alleging against the truth of God to God with one's own wisdom.This is actually rejecting God in the first place.This is TRUSTING IN OWN WISDOM.
The Israelites trusted in their own wisdom in numbers 14:1-7.Rejecting the promise of the Lord .Little did they know their minds were deceived by own sense of righteousness.Often getting enslaved by own righteousness is a behaviour of living in a state of alienated life. Alienated life is a life cut of from cross section of society . Living for ones own self security .
The rich man in luke 12:12-21 is the best example. Only when our own wisdom, strength & security fails, the mind pants for any sort of thirst or hunger for real wisdom or truth to be revealed. Rev 22:17. That's the point where one really has a receiving mindset .Its then will of Lord is revealed that becomes faith and courage resulting in action .Such faith in action results in glory of God being revealed. This is such a glorious glorious glorious state that our very conscious effort makes its recipient realise its true value or benefit .Living by Faith.Being a disciple of Jesus. Luke24:45-50, Mal 3:14, Mat 12:31-32, Eph 4:29-31, Ex5;22

Luke: 24. 45. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46. And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48. And ye are witnesses of these things. 49. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. -
One of our greatest fear is interaction with others .The reason is we do not know or we don't have the subject to interact.
The subject to interact is to be provided by the holy spirit.Often we rely on our own wisdom and the interaction remains a disaster. This is termed as poverty of spiritual subject. Trusting in the holy spirit brings with it abundance of spiritual subject to such a level that fear to interact vanishes. Interaction becomes faith filled .Motivated with hope & courage is rekindled.
Life in the kingdom of God is associated with this uniqueness.Its always revelation of will of God which is done by the holy spirit. Imagine situation of we beingreplaced by Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus. How will it be. Where Jesus commanded Lazarus to come out we would behave in the same manner or attitude as that of others . Its already three days . Nothing is there to be done. Well in every interaction of Jesus,it was rekindling of faith . John 11:40. Resulting in faith and power of God being revealed. John 2:1-11, The marriage at cana.
Trusting in holy spirit calls for a thirst or hunger for abundance of spiritual wisdom . Revelation 22:17. It also calls for -stop of relying on own wisdom . Jesus said I have nothing to say on my own.John 12:49-50
Trusting in holy spirit is also loving God the father with all our might,mind and strength. Mathew 22:37
Moses is a wonder . For each day of his life in wilderness with children of Israel was a test. He did not have anything in his hand.But with what then he lead the children ? Each day or moment or situation was revelation from God. Deuteronomy 8:3
Result .
Each day was a life of Union with God .Presence of God .Experience of will of God.To such an extend that in Joshua 1:3-8 God uses the term I will be with you like I was with my servant Moses. Today this trust in holy spirit in every walk of life is ignored instead its blatant reliance on own wisdom or wisdom of world .
Jeremiah 17:5-9 .As a result the mind is deceived . Trust is lost . We undergo confusion in every manner. Even though living with all privileges under grace yet living as impoverished . 2cor.8:9
We should not forget that trusting in holy spirit is trusting in God, Ask ourselves,are we loving God when we convince others with our own opinion which is fear based & slaver to world ? Jeremiah 9:23-24

Psalm: 1. 2. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. -
Trusting in the world results in fear and hate . Trusting in the Lord results in courage and faith .Trusting in the world prevents the mind from discerning the will of God in the current moment.Trusting in the world prevents us from listening to the Holy spirit .Trusting in the world prevents being led by the Holy spirit.Fear creeps into the mind when the substance of what we trusted starts to vary in nature. When the substance of what we trusted becomes incapacitated .When the substance of what we trusted becomes valueless or useless.
Example . A person has a large sum of money .He becomes sick.He uses every medical facility available .Finally the doctors decide they are helpless .Then the substance of trust that was money becomes useless.In many a case money unknowingly takes this place leading us to FEAR and anxiety.Inability to succeed or tide over situation becomes a question mark. Faith in God is always a sure winner because its God who is the executer of everything .His word is the cause and reason of everything .Its his word that reveals what's true . Its Word thats responsible for eexistence of each & every individual . The very purpose of why the day " today " has started unfolding its various behaviours and situations.The purpose of why so many things happen. Mathew 26:54-56.
Trust in the Lord executes the promise & covenant of the Lord.It results in transformation of individual in terms of spiritual growth.Interconnection and bonding of a person truly with anything or others is when a person displays unchanging nature like God himself. Malachi 3:9 . Moses became truly interconnected with everything when he started a life of trusting in God.Till then he was alive, trying every option to succeed but failure was the outcome. The moment he started trusting in the Lord, his stable unchanging manner every moment was working in his favour and plan that even pharaoh had to agree everything with him.
Romans 8:27. Others can interconnect with us only if we are trusting in God.Do not expect others to be interconnected to us in every good manner if our trust is in world.In fact it raises only doubt and suspicion in others about our objectivity .For this there is no reason to blame others .Our nature varied according to what we trusted. Ex32:1-11
The difference of trust of Moses and Others . Others could interconnect to Moses.Moses too could interconnect with others.The beauty of trusting in God. Jer17:7-9

Ephesians: 3. 6. That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 7. Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. 8. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; -
The perfect will of God includes salvation of Gentiles too.For this each saved person is trusted ,entrusted, anointed , predesignated by God. ROM 11:25 ,ROM.8:29-30
Realising & discerning this mystery reveals the unique will of God upon our lives . which is inclusion of a large cross section of Others to salvation. When we are involved in this great commission, we learn to trust in God for we are needed in His will not by our Choice but by His will. John 15:16
Elected preordained. To yield a lasting fruit that last. Everything that happens is interconnecting us to God and Others.
Its here we also realise that its God's glorious objectivity to sustain us in every manner until this is executed . No bones will be broken.Everything will be taken care of. Philippians 4:19 For in every incident glory of God is revealed.
Like the marriage at cana. John 2:1-11.His disciples believed. Exhibition of faith in God without doubt is preferred by God from us .Noah ,Abraham, Moses, prophets & disciples were all called to this .So others too could truly become convinced that it ,"Yes really its possible ." Trust in the Lord is a possibility.God is good all the time.On the other hand if our trust shakes and flutuates others cannot lean on trust in God through us. The trust of Moses in God ,led him to be used as a leader. Which became beneficious for others. Moses was strangely connected with children of Israel by reason of his trust in God which led to their faith in God.All needs of Moses were also taken care by God. Moses realised his purpose of life each moment and why he was placed in such a society. Its not to be hated or not to be feared.There is no need to run away from it.Like Jonah running away.Faith without trusting in God is rejecting will of God upon oneself. On the contrary resulting in a life with a question mark .We try to solve problem after problem such that after the solution we will try and do the will of God. It will never come. Its was in midst of each so called crisis that trust in God was required out of you. Psalms 20:7-8,
Mathew 22:35-37, Jonah 1:1-3, Mat 22:35-39, John 2:10-11, Luke 16: 24-31, Luke 24:46-49,

Jeremiah: 17. 5. Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? -
Trusting and blessings or curses.
Trusting in the Lord brings about blessings for its God's promise.
Trusting in man brings curse for that too is God's promise.
But many curses are often ignored or misunderstood. Its exercised so carelessly.Allowing trust to be on social form of security is Jeremiah 9:23-24 not being properly understood.
1John 2:16-17 When God has placed each unique person properly in his arrangement of lineage and purpose there is a great will behind it. Add to it the gift of each person's calling. Consider it like this.Take Noah, John the Baptist , Moses ,Paul ,Anania, Isaiah and rearrange them in the order of lineage . What confusion would their life produce .
What would happen to the perfect will of Father. Christ is the end of Law.Romans 10:3
Even placement of Jesus is so perfect . Lukose 24:44-45,Mathew 16:21-22,Mathew 26:54
All prophecies had to be made into place by God to be revealed so man can live on Faith and promise.
Romans 8:29-32.The gift of holy spirit will have its perfect use and application.The period of Law and period of love and grace will have its own purpose and meaning.The perfect purpose of law will result in leading to faith rather than perpetual wrath of God. Galatians 3:12-13, Rom 4:15-25, Gal 3:21-26, Jer 9:23-24, Tit 3:3-7, Acts 1:9-11, 1Cor 13:13, John17:8-20

Proverbs: 3. 11. My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: 12. For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. 13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. 14. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. 15. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 16. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
Trust in wisdom of the Lord is what's needed to win victory over world by faith.But wisdom from the Lord is revelation by the Holy spirit which reveals the Love of God . Revelation of Love of God contains the perfect will of God pertaining to oneself as well as the meaning of one's existence in the sea of population. John 5:17-19,ROM.12:2
We often overlook the importance of the sea of population around us called generation that we are interconnected as well as the multitude of people like the stars in the sky. What needs to be discerned each day are various permutations or combinations of complex behavioural patterns emerging with an unavoidable demand placed upon oneself . Whether we like it or not we need to face it ,all squares. We cannot run away from it. Look at Moses or Paul for instance. Both personalities had to face such complex behavioural patterns of people as purposed by God . Could school or college education solve the mystery to the problem ? No.
The mystery in the problem was WILL of God. This is summed up for each as follows. For moses it was Deuteronomy 8:3
For Paul it was Ephesians 3:5-7, For Jesus it was Hebrews 10:5-8. For us Romans 12:2
This has to be accepted .This has to be discerned.For there is no victory without people,who are interconnected to each one of us in mysterious divine manner by God. God who knows the people whom we are going to interact today .
How each of these people are going to behave,expecting and demanding from us . What are the character of each of these. people !!! Did the children of Israel ever expect a pharaoh as cruel as the one who replaced the one at the time of Joseph resulting in slavery .Exodus 1: 1-10. Did Daniel and His three friends ever expect their lives to be interwoven with such kings and ministers with shrewd attitudes. Jesus was betrayed by one of His most trusted disciples. Mathew 26:50-54-56.Joseph was thrown into well,sold as slave,cast into jail & brought to Pharaoh, Genesis 45:5-7
God did it for a great purpose! Moses born in a strange manner, grew up in Egypt,ran away to Jethro,came back to Egypt .
Exodus 1-4 . Noah and his life - Genesis 6-7 -8
Our life too is similar . Interaction with fellow human beings calls for realisation of wisdom from God .
This really solves the puzzle. This is often the unaddressed area of confusion or anxiety.
Luke 3: 23-38, Eph 2: 12-22, Rom 11: 11-36, John1:17-31,Luke24: 44-49, Mat 26: 50-59 , 2Cor 5: 14-21
The perfect will of God has a clear purpose for every other person who is strangely interconnected to one's life. 1 Sam 16: 1-13.
Romans: 11. 29. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. -
Your election,selection,placement in sea of humanity is Unique. Not by chance .It contains the glory of God.Do not hate it
Do not reject it .Do not runaway from it . Jesus,Moses,Paul did not run away from it

Proverbs: 3. 5. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 8. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. 9. Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10. So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 11. My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: 12. For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. 13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. 14. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. 15. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 16. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. 17.

Trust in the Lord . Attitude and trust relationship . Difference between trust and faith . What is trust in the Lord.Jeremiah 17:5-9
Mark 11:24 .When you pray believe you received what you prayed .
The heart is always deceived not in faith but in trust. Faith in God is there . But trust may always be attached to personal securities of this world .Like money ,property ,immovable assets of this world. Any variation to these securities shake the mind so much we are thrown into confusion. Trust in the lord is based on the conviction that the cause and reason for anything is God . This is vide His promise . These always remain unshakable eternal. The mind often gets conditioned to every asset or security of this world to such extend that it leans on it greater than God. Looking at options becomes a thing of past .
The cause and reason of anything is God because its the WILL of God that remains executed .This was executed through Jesus Christ.Hebrews 10:5-9-17.The kingdom of God within us .Eternal life and lost glory gained . Mat 26:54-56, Luke 24: 44-49

Proverbs: 6. 6. Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7. Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, -
We are sure if a tiny food particle is dropped anywhere within moments the ants will come .Even on bed or in pockets of our shirt . But How ? We are sure . We are even afraid of the ant bite.How does the ant become so sober ,alert and proactive ? As if without sleep? From where does it appear ? As if from thin air !! That too not one, a multitude. They come ,they conquer. They achieve their result ,all done so well . But how do they manage it ?
This is the mystery when the word says" look at the ants! " It is revealed when we look at it differently. It has no guide overseer or ruler. How does a guide ,overseer or ruler effect our life . Look at the children of Israel.Joseph invited them to Goshen .Genesis 45:10-11. From this point their minds became conditioned to Egypt its systems manners way of life.
After a period of time their mind was so much conditioned to Goshen and pharaoh that even though they had Faith in God their trust was fully in Goshen and pharaoh. Looking outside both of these was out of question. Soon after demise of Joseph we see a new pharaoh .Gradually whatever was imposed were accepted by Israelites .
Why ? Their trust shifted from God to Goshen and pharaoh.No other option .Similarly we too often become conditioned to environment and people to such a level that our trust shifts from God and His promise to environment and people. But we are God fearing people. Any small change in environment or situation or people ,we are held ransom .We are caught up by surprise. Be it our car getting faulty or from any slight variation from our daily routines , we lose grip not knowing what to do .Why? Conditioned behaviour in us is the secret. If we realise this then we see what the bible explains .
Trust in the lord with all your mind . Jeremiah 17:5, Psalms 112:1-2
Trust in His promise all the time . This is often lost and is replaced by trust in the world .We thus become a slave without our knowledge .If two people are traveling in a car . within a short time the one not driving falls asleep.
Why ? Not having anything to do leads to slumber. 1 peter 5:8, It says to be alert against the devouring enemy.
Being alert does not mean remain idle like sitting in a car next to driver.
Eph 5:8-9 be sober means, to do the will of God instead . Will of God is revealed by holy spirit .John 9:4,1 cor 2:9-14
Revelation is executed not by force or because other people forced you. Its a motivation we ourselves needs to have.
In exodus 3:7-10 we see a Moses being revealed the will of God and from that moment , he himself gets motivated .
No one is pushing him . From that moment his first priority is executing the will of God.Which is walking with God & walking with man . Its here we see Israelites were conditioned to slavery but moses was not ! He was not a slave to pharaoh because he was vigilant, sober, reacting ,searching ,trusting the will of God both upon himself & others . Resulting in total victory . From day one to end. The will of God and kingdom of God is closely related .Without doing the will of God its impossible to remain in kingdom of God.Mathew 25:21-27 The parable of talents and servants its clear .
Five talents & two talents servants used it as their first priority . They entered into the Joy of the Lord.We are to realise the fact of getting conditioned is formation of attitude as huge as an haystack . Our behaviour is locked inside it. Peter was caught inside his attitude about gentiles as waste . Acts 10:38. When this attitude changed he became a good and faithful servant . In Ephesians 3:3-7 we see a Paul with a changed attitude towards the gentiles so much that he became an apostle to the gentiles . Change in attitude calls for growth in spiritual subject . Lukose 12:24-28,1 cor 4:1-2
Its change of attitude both in us and others that matters most . Impartation of this light creates transformation . Just as in a school , a good teacher imparts wisdom such that at end of the academic year , the child becomes a professional .
The interaction never was oriented at pointing finger at the child who came to class. Like wise in kingdom of God , justified by the blood, educated by light resulting in attitudinal changes from wrong to right . Each moment is a changed attitude replaced with correct attitude .John 9:4-7 Jesus ,adulterous women and the others - a good example . Correct attitude and behaviour creates victory and success .The parable of the good Samaritan .Correct attitude of the good Samaritan , wrong attitude of priest and levite is noticed . In kingdom of God its transformation of wrong attitude to right attitude in people that promotes success . For this always trust in His promises is the rule of game . Never ever get conditioned to environment or people that tend to change . This results in slavery .Like the servant with one talent who hid it. Servant is in service of employer which is his priority. Numbers 12:7-8 moses is defined as," my servant " by God. We too are servants of God sent out to gather in the kingdom of God .But inactivtity leads to sleep in kingdom of God . Therefore Arise and shine .

Matthew: 11. 12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. -
The kingdom of God is in every manner the most thrilling experience and reality . Equally tough is the wisdom as well as to remain growing in the kingdom of God. For its totally faith in spirit and trusting in God . Most often we fall prey to trusting in man . Like the seed that was sowed in rocks or side of road . Only a few spiritual subjects are developed rest is ignored.
Some 30 times Some 60 times Some 100 times.The lack of wisdom or consciousness of wisdom results in a state of non performance like the servant who received one talent. A dedicated commitment to kingdom of God is required like moses,
who never gave up . His priority remained unchanged inspite of any adverse situation or challenge.Remained humble and available to God and Man. Always giving the best in you is growing in kingdom of God. Rest is not for the kingdom of God. John 9:3-4 As long as there is day we have to do the works of the one who has send us.Most often we shy away from our call .Living a life of self mastery .Where every moment lost is a generation lost to the cause of God. Imagine Ananias intially ignored his call to go to Saul to bless him ? we know the result when he became obedient.
How many Saul' or similar people have we ignored ,like the good Samaritan parable - the priest and caretaker.
To remain alert not under pressure from others but own self is demand of kingdom of God.

Matthew: 25. 21. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 31. When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32. And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Enter into the JOY of the LORD. The kingdom of God is associated with experience of a JOY.The speciality of this JOY is that its not temporary.Its permanent.Its increasing .
Why its permanent and increasing ?
Because its victory is in Others that starts like a chain reaction & propels others to motivate others in turn to salvation and productivity .Saves others from fear of DEATH to freedom .From slavery to life.From darkness to light .
From life of blame and condemnation to life of blessing and PURPOSE based on real conviction of an individual promise received personally from God .Which makes each child of God to be SURE about oneself each moment .
Never is there any reason to lose hope . Faith is the only tool that is required to win .
Faith in God .Faith through revelation by holy spirit.This victory both in others and self results in a state of JOY that lasts permanently.Victory in a worldly matter is often short lived, like a blind man throwing stones on a ripe mango tree.
By fluke a few will fall but not sure. Victory in permanent nature is joy that increases because it makes others permanently VICTORIOUS. No more spoon feeding .Selfsufficency in Victory. What more to be gained ?
The prodigal sons father makes a statement -
Before my son was lost now found .
Before he was dead .Now ALIVE.
Yes this- found and alive state becomes an experience which takes on a DIRECTION that catapults to success.A success that makes one to INHERIT the KINGDOM of GOD .When JESUS comes in Glory.
Are we interacting with others so others get motivated to this cause as we are able to say
I RAN A RACE.
When I meet Jesus , will He tell me -Well Done My Faithfull Servant.
Who gave His life for you and me . It was not a film story but a reality ?
Luke15: 24, John 3: 3-7,
Permanent Joy is in Spirit Gal 4: 28.
Jesus did not try a blind shot at our victory.He made a sure shot victory which lasts for eternity . Mat 11:12-13

Acts: 13. 22. And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
Numbers: 12. 7. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. 8. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? -
Servant Moses ! To be committed to God is to be committed to God's will.
It starts and ends specifically .It has a particular objectivity to be achieved . The objectivity is as important to God as His commitment. It is connected with His Love.Which is God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that through Him no one must perish but be saved. John 3:16 ,Salvation of Saul.
God strengthens each of his children from the moment one experiences repentance.Being born again or the experience of born again is a reality only if this will of god is executed in life. Leading others to Christ as an everyday priority is what we are called for . Running away is running away from commitment.Are we committed to cause of Jesus Christ ?
Am I really His witness ? Luke 24 :44-50 Without taking this up ,we are not taking up ones own cross. Mathew 16:24
This is the main reason why we feel confused in our spiritual relationship with God . Often tend to think where God is or where is holy spirit . Reality of kingdom of God is execution of will of God on a committed basis that others can trust . That God can trust . God has already put His trust on you and me regarding this. God has equipped you and me with gifts of the holy spirit grace ministry of new covenant .Its for each one of us to start .The blame or fault is not or never in Others .
Its in me the starting trouble.The non performance is in me.The parable of master and three servants with 5/2/1 talents is about this .
Starting is not with great stature.Its that first step that matters most.Have I started ?Am I His servant ?Am I doing His will ?
What am I waiting for ?Any more permission required ?Am I equipped ? 1 Peter 2:9
Where do I start ?How do I start ?With whom do I start ?
Ans :
First from Me. My own decision conviction about myself .This has to grow from within .
Ex 4: 10-22,
Its not others who need to decide - Its YOU
To be inside or outside the kingdom of God experience is based on this conviction, decision & action by our own self.
Its not at all by others . Never expect help from others ,for they too are busy with their own targets which God has entrusted 5/2/1 talents. Mat 25: 14-44
The kingdom of God is Joy . But its often missed ; filled with frustration because we haven't started yet.
S T A R T today. Be bold . You will not be let down by God
Josh 1:1-9, Mat 28: 18-20, Mat 25:21
Enter thou into JOY of the LORD

Matthew: 13. 52. Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. -
The kingdom of God and will of God.There is a close relationship between the kingdom of God and will of God.
Will of God though is revealed by God ,it calls for accepting the call of God. Hebrews 10:7-Here I come to do your will Oh God.
Accepting the will of God or rejecting the will of God is ones own choice or freedom.Accepting results in a continuous state of committed nature from the time one is called for the great commission.How much committed are we ? Have we made a commitment? Do we feel any pressure of commitment? John 9:3-4 As long as it is day we have to do the work of the one who has send Us. When God made a promise He made His commitment . To this He remains dedicated without changing. Malachi 3:6 .But from our side ? Only with commitment could we see the real result oriented output.Without commitment no one can say,I serve a MASTER. When we join any company, the agreement is to work for 8 Hours .
Your work needs that kind of time.
What's your commitment ?
Its based on our commitment we are employed. Its this commitment that proves our dedication to the firm.Which makes us strive to excellence inspite of every hurdle, targets are achieved. Working under pressure ,Logging of events ,Non performance or performance schedules ,Interaction with management with begginning of each week ,Intensive training courses, new strategies and input plan are all part of our work commitment . In fact everything is well audited in a systematic manner. Reporting is hundred percent .Well monitored.
Where are we ? Do we serve a Master with commitment ? Do we give the same priority as we give to our school or job . Ask ourselves .Don't judge others to find out .Just look at ourselves.
This is growth in Christ:- To be His ambassador. To love others is the law .Without doing the will of God Jesus could never exhibit the true love of God .Romans 5:5-9.Similarly unless we are committed to the will of God we are not observing the law of love. John 21:14-17 Peter Do You Love Me More Than These ?
Tend my sheep .Take care of my sheep.
Are you committed to my cause ?
No one can serve two masters .We are spiritually blessed with the professional degree of wisdom , the spiritual gift of holy spirit.Its our commitment that makes us grow in the gift. Isaiah 55:8 My thoughts and my ways - says the Lord.
We are convinced that God is in total control.
Where is the confusion ?
The confusion is not in the way .Its all about discerning the thoughts both of ourselves and that of the Lord with respect to current moment .Thoughts of the Lord are about salvation and growth of mankind .
Our thoughts are distracted by the wicked one to everything except mankind Each moment our commitment is focused in this world .ROM.12:2 Demands a commitment .
Men boast of working in any establishment .Establishments with perks,facilities, benefits ,endpoint benefits ,gratuity ,provident fund ,bonus ,rewards & remuneration . Truly the best rewarder is God. Hebrews 11:6, He rewards !
Never out of poverty but out of a thankfulness for what you achieved for the output you produced was so precious to Him
Have we failed to archive a result ? Have we delivered a result .Am I am achiever or still just an apprenticeship trainee?
Is it time that I am evaluated ?Am I hunting for the Job? Am I already in the Masters Service ?
In UK, United kingdom every service is defined as ' His Masters service.'
In spiritual kingdom of God its a greater definition .

Matthew: 6. 10. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Coming of kingdom of God is execution of will of God.Execution of will of God is not only God declaring it or Jesus executing it but each one of us doing it individually . Execution of will of God by each one of us calls for revelation of will of God moment by moment .This revelation is possible only by the Holy spirit.This revelation creates the mind to see with faith , conviction, desire, hope, love ,kindness, mercy ,salvation of spirit,& growth in spirit . In fact to see like God .
Seeing like God is seeing with a wisdom that is TRUTH. Seeing with truth result in seeing without DOUBT. Seeing without doubt creates hope, faith, conviction, reason ,purpose ,need, thirst & hunger . The more we do the will of God , more is revealed .This increases the Joy in holy spirit .Joy because of the experience of a victory .Our concept of victory is often short lived and it often ends up in losing hope .Because as soon as something is gathered it becomes insufficent to meet our demands for the next moment . Victory in spirit is entirely different .Its gain of wisdom to each individual . This gain of truth, increases the power of each individual in every manner. Example is Moses..When he started with the burning bush he was such a simple man .But as he travelled with God we see his spiritual wisdom getting enhanced in leaps and bounds to such levels that no wisdom of this world could hold him as slave.One man had the capacity to lead such a multitude against such a great opposition.The greatest opposition was not pharaoh but the faithlessness of children of Israel . Which is fear of death .Which is doubting the Will or promise of God.Will God DELIVER.This is why after the spies came back a huge loss had occurred. Numbers 14:1-7,Hebrews 4:1-4
Our personal conviction in will of God cannot be aided by our own wisdom .It can be done only by external help from God. 2 Cor. 3:4-7. Where Paul declares," it appears to come as if from us but its not. " Its holy spirit revealing the ministry of new covenant that brings an experience of love which purges every FEAR.Kingdom of God is fearlessness .
Instead surety both for self as well as for others. Surety from what is lost to what is gained. Eph. 2:1-9

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. 45. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46. And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48. And ye are witnesses of these things. 49. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. -
The kingdom of God is what Jesus preached even during the last 40 days on earth . But it was about the Spirit that he preached. Acts 1:2-3 . It included the whole mankind and their salvation . Its through salvation and peace with God that we received the promise ,faith and blessings . Not by our own wisdom but by revelation of Holy spirit. For this the gift of holy spirit has been given to us . 1cor 3:16 Being led by the holy spirit makes us children of God to God and to Others.
Do others feel they are children of God because of us ? John 17:8
Without light and revelation this becomes impossible .For being children of God , will of God needs to be revealed by the holy spirit . Like Jesus, the will of God upon our life creates pathway for others to become owners of a glorious will of God . So that they too can become unique, most wanted personalities with great things to be done .Great things to be done or achieved . All I have to do is therefore, just ask the counsellor- the holy spirit . Every moment becomes a possible exhibition of God's glory through life of faith that brings joy, happiness ,peace, love ,kindness, mercy & hope .Restart of a new life that used to be punctuated with darkness ,hopelessness, anger, fear ,fear of death ,ignorance & our own view point . God's view point does exist in each situation ,which if discerned results in glory. Yes this moment is glory filled. Is 53:11, Heb12: 18-23

Acts: 1. 3. To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: 4. And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 5. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 6. When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7. And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 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 kingdom of God and Holy spirit. A no one to blame mindset is possible only under total guidance of holy spirit.
After Jesus was raised He still was explaining more about the kingdom of God. But in this second part importance was stressed on filling with the holy spirit.The importance of being empowered by the holy spirit. The mysteries of kingdom of God is revealed as LIGHT only by the revealer the Holy Spirit. This anointing is the part that really makes revelation of kingdom of God a reality.

Hebrews: 12. 23. To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, -
The kingdom of God is all about - being made perfect ! It finds joy at light being revealed moment by moment .
As each exhibition of light adds to perfectness that's one step closer to God. The mindset that stops blaming God
That stops blaming Others .That stops blaming self.That stops blaming situation.Instead it thrills at light being revealed always resulting in faith and God's glory .
John 17:8-9,John 17:21-22 Have I come to a' No One To Blame ' mindset yet ? This was the starting point of Paul the Apostle and God used him as His vessel.

Every man is a haystack of attitudes. Majority is negative . A few positive attitudes are exhibited at a time. which results in his behaviour to be successful in a particular situation . Be thankful for it. For we too are likewise. Others understand us in a similar manner and are tolerant towards us like that !.
Heb 12: 5-23
The kingdom of God is associated with making man perfect. Process of prefecting is by correction of attitude which undergoes a great decay from birth onwards by addition of various filth of ignorance.This ignorance then needs to be forcefully purged and replaced with the truth . The corrected attitude in interaction succeeds further in every following interactions . Thus exhibiting a consistency in behaviour . We learn to trust others even when they are faulty
But this correction of attitude is not at all easy . Its the most toughest proposition that we face.This is a process of chastisement by God by His own way such that a specific order of change is ordained in each person like a good syllabus in a curriculum.
Chapter one to twenty is placed in such a manner that each chapter forms foundation for the next chapter .
This is done by input of various spiritual subjects on a regular manner without fail .Where instead of blaming the situation, we try to gather His wisdom from it . What went wrong.
Then proverbs 9:10 becomes a reality.
Then the return of the prodigal son becomes a realisation.Luke 15: 14-24
Has our mind achieved a state of being - like free from any judgement or any blame game. Then like Paul, we become a chosen vessel for God's purpose.

Mark: 4. 4. And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 7. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 20. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
Unnoticed fact about receiving the word of God & the probability of growth in word of God within the kingdom of God needs to be monitored.Of verses 4/5/8/20 its mentioned repeatedly about seed falling.From a total of what's sown only a few percentage fell to required area.Even the seeds that fell on good ground,it clearly mentions some made 30 fold, not all some made 60 fold & not all some made 100 fold . When we purchase building materials, a percentage for wastage is always calculated . Likewise there is a large percentage of loss in the word that's really received.Even in the case of the word received in good , obedient mind not all spiritual subjects have been grown to hundred fold .Some subjects had a growth of may be thirty fold another may be 60 fold another may be 100 fold .
What's the effect of this on real life ?
Look at it this way.An engineer starts professional life after his course. He has varying levels in degree of knowledge on various related subjects .example in math he is hundred percent. In electrical only 30 %,In civil part just 5%,In language 10%, In computer or related only 50% like this in all other areas of educational subjects .
Howhe will he fare in a situation ?
There will be a great variation in his performance . Even to the extend that he would be unable to handle many a situation himself. In some areas his wisdom was really weak & ignorance was so large that grasping the situation itself was impossible.
In life we should all understand- each one is the leader of one's own life. Each one therefore has to take full responsibility for ones own life.There is no escapism from ones own life. To face each situation whether it is with God , man or even satan, growth in spiritual wisdom in every area is utmost vital. Often ignorance being at large in various subjects we involuntarily shun away from many a situation.
Look at Moses .
The moment he was send to Egypt we see a consistency in his interaction with pharaoh,with Israelites ,with God &with others .
He is never BLAMED pharaoh for his cruel atrocities.
He could have always blamed pharaoh a million times .
He could have blamed God a million times .
He could have blamed the people a hundred times .
He could have blamed the situation a hundred times.
He could have blamed himself a hundred times .
Lest in any of the above scenarios , he would have been making himself a slave to that entity and end up as a failure.
Instead we see a Moses ,a towering personality exhibiting a consistent behaviour in every area of interaction to which he was called to LEAD by God.You are a LEADER called to lead your own LIFE .You are a LEADER called to lead the will of God upon your own life .This calls for receiving spiritual wisdom in hundred percentage in all areas without ignoring any part. Reading psalms alone or the four gospels alone or old testament alone or focusing on revelation alone or just success in personal victory or success in victory of just our own household etc... is not being leader called to execute the glorious will of God. Often we fail to note the right and wrong attitude that govern each one of us by which we perceive ourselves ,others ,GOD & situation .We like to blame others for their wrong attitude . Little do we realise our wrong attitude resulting in nonperformance from our own end leading to inconsistent behaviour .One sided behaviour .
In executing will of God its unavoidable to note that each decision is a complex mixture of God, oneself and others .
We alone cannot pull the strings.Look at life and ministry of Jesus.His life was punctuated with disciples, others etc .
In each interaction he said specifically -I did not come to do my will but that of the Father.
Ask ourselves the question what are we up to ?
We are focused on our will .
What governs our will ?
Our fear ,anger, hatred & ignorance .
Do we ever appreciate the good attitude of others ? We have to thank God for each moment we experience good attitude or behaviour from others.
For we are perceived by others based on their attitude moment by moment.In Acts 9:1-17.We see a Saul with such a judgemental attitude about others & a changed Paul who never judges or blames anything .
In acts 13:27 we see a Peter who considered gentiles as inferior, not important .
Today we too ignorantly consider the millions of people around us inferior, useless or with a ' don't care what happens to them attitude' . Little forgetting the fact that we are held accountable in front of God, as we are Christ's Ambassador' .
You are a Leader . You have to be updated with 100% growth in spiritual wisdom.
Ez 33:1-9

Matthew: 25. 21. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Ruler over many things! To rule is to see with great insight . In the kingdom of God everyone rules, everyone sees each other in its perfectness . The ministry of new covenant is the spontaneous result assisted by the holy spirit. Where individual outlook is not the concern instead the glory in others which is Christ in you is of priority. This makes interaction a reality with purpose. Looking back there is hundreds of interactions we made with others . But how many has resulted in leading others to eternal life ? How many are there that are just passing time in this world and who fade away with time . To see its value, see the interactions of disciples and Jesus with others that transformed many an individual to such greater levels that each interaction resulted in adding more enriched wisdom making greater victory, greater joy ,greater peace ,greater faith & greater interconnection with God. Self sufficiency is a mark of a disciple of Christ.

Genesis: 15. 5. And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
The kingdom of God is not a lonely place.It does not make sense to be a lonely place. Its a place where perfect people coexist with God. Where each one no more needs to be concerned about himself like God himself.Where the beautiful experience is the only thing which matters. Yes !
God is concerned or thrilled about man for whom he had paid a price of eternal patience. For its realisation is so thrilling that joy is expressed without end. Endless joy.Similarly when we too become perfect we start to see others in their beauty . What's beauty in others ? What's beauty in God ? G L O R Y
The glory of God is eternally revealed both in himself as in the multitude.Now we are don't see others in this glory . Its a pity. We see others mostly by our own thoughts and opinions about others and God. With our fears, doubts ,sorrow, ,pain etc. With our convictions about others etc..Which keeps on varying like the waves .To such an extend that what ever spiritual wisdom gained is even used in some manner to judge others or demotivate others ! The law kills .The ministry of old covenant. The ministry of new covenant sees like Jesus . Who is so thrilled with joy for humanity. Hebrews 12:2 Not for what it is but for what God is making it. Mat 25:21-23. To receive appreciation from God eternally without ceasing is something this world could never know....

Dictionaries - Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology - Kingdom of God
Kingdom of God
The heart of Jesus' teachings centers around the theme of the kingdom of God. This expression is found in sixty-one separate sayings in the Synoptic Gospels. Counting parallels to these passages, the expression occurs over eighty-five times. It also occurs twice in John (3:3, 5). It is found in such key places as the preaching of John the Baptist, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near" ( Matt 3:2 ); Jesus'earliest announcement, "The time has come… The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" ( Mark 1:15 ; cf. Matt 4:17 ; Luke 4:42-43 );the prayer Jesus taught his disciples, "your kingdom come" ( Matt 6:10 ); in the Beatitudes, "for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" ( Matthew 5:3 Matthew 5:10 ); at the Last Supper, "I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God" ( Mark 14:25 ); and in many of Jesus' parables ( Matthew 13:24 Matthew 13:44 Matthew 13:45 Matthew 13:47 ; Mark 4:26 Mark 4:30 ; Luke19:11 ).
It was once popular in certain circles to argue that the expressions "kingdom of God" and "kingdom of heaven" referred to two different realities. It is now clear, however, that they are synonyms. This is evident for several reasons. For one, the two expressions are used in the same sayings of Jesus, but where Matthew uses"kingdom of heaven, " Mark or Luke or both use "kingdom of God."Second, Matthew himself uses these two expressions interchangeably in 19:23-24, "it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven … for a rich man to enter thekingdom of God." Finally, we know that "heaven" was frequently used as a circumlocution for "God" by devout Jews. Due to respect for the third commandment ("You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God" [ Exod 20:7 ]), pious Jews used various circumlocutions for the sacred name of God (YHWH) in order to avoid the danger of breaking this commandment. One such circumlocution was the term"heaven." This is seen in the expression "kingdom of heaven" but also in such passages as Luke 15:18, 21 ("Father, I have sinned against heaven and againstyou") and Mark 11:30.
Revelation: 21. 1. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
The kingdom of God gathers its essence around God and man- as Eternal Father and eternal children with Eternal Life with the Father . In this eternal life we see what was lost and needs to be regained as Jesus told to Nicodemus.
John 3:3-7 .Because in the beginning it was Genesis 1:27 .We will make man in Our image- Who is to reign.
So in Luke 3 we see Adam as Son of God. But in Genesis chapter 3 we see man being deceived by Satan .
Losing glory . Losing life. Becoming slave to Satan, slave to flesh, slave to death , slave to fear. God's wrath .
Ignorance.
Promise,hope, love, kindness ,& mercy of God a far cry. The ultimate expression of God is Love. In kingdom of God it states the eternal love of God which bonds with man. This eternal state of Love is eternal oneness that Jesus declares in John 17:22-24. This oneness experience ,the full existence of both God as well as Man in eternal realm .Where Jesus says about resurrected life , that God said-" He is the God of Abraham Issac and Jacob God of living not God of Dead. " Kingdom of God also defines the " wisdom that God is " & " the ignorant state that man is " with respect to wisdom of God. The Light to which no one can approach. The wisdom that unfolds- the depth of living with God as His children . God is spirit .His children of spirit. End of reign of Satan both in Heaven as well as on Earth in every domain .
Rev.12:13
The death of Jesus on cross brings this reign of Satan and His ruling over mankind to its end.The spiritual authority of man to reign is regained and is given back to Him . To live in newness of life .To live as children of God .
To understand the eternity from oneself- backward as well as forward through the kaleidoscope of Sea of Generations and connecting both Jew and Gentiles . Ephesians 2:1-20

Romans: 4. 18. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: 20. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21. And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24. But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25. Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. -
Reason to hope in God is His will ,Promise & Mercy .He is the executor of it. For this ,He has placed His Truth as its foundation.Let everything change but His word remains unchanged.
But what destroys hope and faith ?
A simple example will reveal. Let suppose we are caught in a situation of physical sickness.Even if we are not a doctor our mind conjures such convincing medical theory about the specific sickness that we are sure to define with clarity our infirmity to ourselves as well as to others . Its so convincing that even our listener becomes so convinced about our physical condition .
Why ?
We were able to add so many facts and figures to support our opinion or thought. In doing so it created a negative hope in ourselves. But little do we realise in the same moment if we are asked to define what God hopes and defines about this situation ; are we in a position to define it in depth ? The answer that rekindles hope, faith both in ourselves as well as others? This calls for growth in spiritual subjects which is being rich in God. Often this richness in God is in a state of poverty in us . Many a time we rely on our own wisdom . We ignore the wisdom that holy spirit reveals with God's glory against our own wisdom . 1 Cor 10:13, Luke 12:21, Mat 13: 3-23 .
John 3:3-10
See the rootlessness of word in Nicodemus who fails to grasp the substance of rebirth that Jesus proclaimed.
Hebrews 5:12 reveals our state- still drinking liquid food where solid food consumption should have been the state attained.

Hebrews: 10. 23. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 38. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. -
Hope becomes a reality in spirit. Salvation of Soul is the hope that God has destined , most of the time our hope is pertaining to physical realm alone . The result is- purpose & existence of current moment both of ourselves as well as others is not discerned. This leads to confusion in mind thus losing of hope. God never lose' hope for He is the keeper & owner of our souls . If we withstand the Lack of ignorance we can tolerate the mistakes of both ourselves & others.
Hope exists in midst of our mistakes or failures .If we were faultless then hope was not required.Its in midst of our ignorance & realisation of our failure that we see God is FAITHFUL in His promise.He remains unchanged .He goes on shining . Mathew 5:45. Hope is a surety that God cannot lie . His glory remains permanent in hope .
The father in the parable of prodigal son exhibits a hope that's unceasing till the moment the prodigal son returned .
Till the return, the mindset of the son was in a state of confusion, failure to understand the very existence of his Father or the servants or his brother . The mind of prodigal son was earlier trying to find a sort of victory but in doing so, he was alienating himself from his father. Victory is in vain when we run after it without inclusion of God . Real victory is when God is included in what is achieved . The victory that provides meaning not only to flesh but also to mind and spirit.
What merit if at the end of victory the spirit is lost and world is gained. Victory is gained with spiritual growth in spiritual subjects leading to understanding of the eternal oneness. The prodigal son realised the eternal oneness with his father .
Until he realised it , he never knew his failure . Yet that was not a reason for his father to lose hope about His son.
Are we able to keep our hope in midst of failure of others like the Father of the prodigal son ? Or does our hope remain only when perfectness is displayed in others ?
Rom 5: 5-21,Mat 16:25-26, Luke12: 16-21
Failure is stepping stone to success . Failure is never a reason to lose hope.
Its in midst of failure, hope becomes the greatest catalyst to one's mind .
The prodigal son got his victory in the hope about his father not about his own personal pursuit of world.
If you take responsibility and blame yourself ; you have the power to change things.
But if you put responsibility on someone else ; then you are giving them the power to decide your fate !

John: 14. 26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Hope is always peace to mind .Hope is motivation required for mind.Hope results in faith and courage to act.Hope results in victory.Hope succeeds over sorrow, fear, anger, hate ,envy ,jealousy & cowardice. Hope rekindles love .Hope restarts everything. Hope never fails.Hope is impossible without holy spirit.Trusting in our own wisdom is not hope .
Hope through holy spirit is surely Joy . Joy is the experience of mind that repeats again and again from the same objective. When you or me become source of Light , others experience joy each moment. We desire others to exhibit light. What others desire from us is the same . Often this does not happen even if demanded. Resulting in hope and joy becoming a matter of distant past. Its impossible because the way of the Lord is discerned only through the holy spirit.
The reason of every situation is the word getting executed . The word appears simple to read but to discern a revelation of God's purpose for a particular situation needs to be revealed by the holy spirit to each one individually.
The transformation of both you , me and others each moment results in prophecy executed . This transformation does not in any way make the preacher a better person than the preached but a source of light . When each one of us become light ,unknowing we become source of joy for others. Yes ! Each situation however tough, can be a source of joy.
The fact that Jesus lives is the surety of hope although each moment is tough ,yet be joyful .Our duty is to safeguard hope all the time. For God never has any reason to give up hope in Y O U ,M E or O TH E R S. Phillipians 1:4-5
He who started the good works in you shall complete it unto the day of Christ.
Hope becomes pretensious or hypocritical if we are not able to accept what's hoped for this moment ,instead waiting to hope at a late future when things will be acceptable to one's own self or yardstick of opinion or attitude. Malachi 3:6
God never changes his view about you or me , not that we are good in any way but because God remains good all the time. Psalms 100:5, Isaiah 53:11

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.
Growth in hope is equal to growth in knowledge, consciousness about prophecy, conviction about prophecy ,faith in prophecy ,desiring for prophecy, attitude towards prophecy, behaving or interacting with wisdom about prophecy.
The prophetic mind sees the situation as result of each prophecy getting executed . Mathew 26:54
Prophecy is not just about prediction moreover a transformation in you and me through word of God by holy spirit and grace every moment. Being more of a witness to Jesus this moment is prophecy getting executed. Without any change in our worldly attitude , prophecy doesn't make sense, 2 Peter 3:3-7 . A prophetic mind is sure about situation and people with H O P E which God too Has. Hope in christ is hope about Others to be glorious creatures. 2 Cor. 5:17-20
Finding current moment to reveal this to others is hope in others without judging condeming ridiculing others .john 12:48-50. I came not to judge but to save. John 12: 47-50

2 Corinthians: 4. 14. Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Beware! ! ! Grow in hope ,Grow in hope ,Grow in hope !
The greatest need , to grow in hope - without any doubt .The outer man will cease to find reason to what he tried to pursue so eagerly from this world might come to vanish .
As written in James. When the Sun shines the flower will fade , what remains then ?
Only faith Love and Hope .
Hope in life after death for Christ was the joy of surety about others. That others would be raised with him and would be with him . Rev 3:20-21 Will drink with Him.Where there will be no more tears .The confidence about others to be with us with God ,eternally in new heaven and new Earth is growth in hope . Interaction with others ,so others too grow in hope as eternal beings & glorious people like 1 thess.4:16
So that 1 John 3:1-3 becomes a reality.Running a race where there is joy .A joy that increases 'cause of a particular surety of Others .Which is surety about salvation of others.For others to be saved ,others too need to hear like us.
ROM 10:14-17.If we devote time for this, then life will be without regrets .Luko 16:14-19 is a great pointer .
The rich man and Lazrus .Regret turns to be his only companion eventually , where instead of experiencing increasing joy, a perpetual sorrow is what's building up because during his lifetime his devotion was towards the ways of this world.
1 John 2:15-17 Increase in hope makes us conscious about others in reality.To the weak who are without hope in Christ , the interaction in hope to them may appear quite meaningless .At one time I was like this.... . My thinking was like - these spiritual people are all cheats & are ignorant fools.I used to shun , mock & ridicule them .But when the Loving kindness of the Lord dawned on me ,I realised & learned to look through the window of understanding to see what's in store, that's really worth to be stored for as inheritance.
John 9:3-4 From then onwards the greatest objectivity was gaining Others to Christ without condemning, judging ,ridiculing others but bearing others like Christ bore me even till now ! The ignorant foolish sinner that i am yet not rejecting me .
His hope in me is God's will & promise , Psalms 139:14-17- that My father is at work in me not because of my merit but because of His grace and mercy .To grow in hope is to grow in spiritual subjects as ardently like the caterpillar spending the few younger days devouring the green leaves without rest.
Beware grow in hope ! Only hope gives joy in mind For the days are coming when no one can work .
Jesus has given us a life with joy increasing not a life of increasing regret. Regrets will be realised only when we bid farewell to life in various occasions.Retirement is bidding farewell to an active life .But what awaits is a loneliness that's filled with a vacuum of nothingness if it was spend in ignorance of hope .Sorrow can never be replaced .
The parable of the five wise virgins is a eye opener. The time came when it was alas a disaster. That could not be mended.Work for the day ,work not for the night. Jesus does not ask you or give you a Life to retire ,to live without meaning or purpose but to live a life that's increasing in hope - that's Salvation to the whole world in His glory but in His T I M E.
Abraham was given the promise which God did in His time .In which God is the sure executor. If He can do it in me , surely, surely He can do it in others so easily . For I am the worst of sinners that He chose to love me not for just this world but to spend a life with Him eternally .I praise all humanity for what each one is through Christ .What a glorious future awaiting each one of us ,oh what a Joy .For my father is working .John 5:14-19
Luke 16:19-31, James1: 11, John 5:17-25.John 9:4-5 , Rev 3:11-22, Ecc 12:1-14, Mat 25:1-36
Jesus has offered a life of joy, not regrets .Look back to see what's gained for eternity ! !

1 Corinthians: 13. 13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. -
Hope is the vision that solves the riddle of life after death.Hope is the reality that the word of God proves.Hope is the surety that defines the meaning and purpose for each one of us .Hope is the reason of why God is behaving to us in such glorious manner.Hope is the reason why we too are equipped to behave with others in likewise glorious manner.
Hope is the surety of future existence not according to me or others or according to any myth. Instead its proved beyond doubt by the word and its PROPHECY. Why word prophecy? The word consists of thoughts of God .It establishs the will of God. It was send to prophets & got executed one after another. What ever God has willed is already prophetically declared to such clarity & precision that each moment is about revealing glory of God to everyone who accepts the word in faith. The word is further revealed as light by the holy spirit, similar to how petrol has to be poured as an external source of energy for generation of power . Likewise holy spirit reveals light which when acted upon by faith releases the glorious power of God that reveals everything that the word Hopes for .
Thus affirming the clause --
What is truth ? The word of God is truth .Truth sets you free .
Free of what ? Free from every blindness of mind .Hebrews 12:2,Mathew 26:54,Mathew 16:21,,Mathew 16:24
1 thes 4:16,1 john 3:1-3
Hence proper clarity about hope is the most important tool for the mind to act in faith and love.Often ignoring hope in its proper sense creates all confusion in interaction ; oneness is lost between man and God as well as man and man.
The surety of Moses from exodus 3 onwards, the surety of prophets in their lives ,the surety of john the Baptist in his declarations , the surety of Jesus right from his tender age , the surety of Paul from Ephesians 3 onwards all show a growth in hope, in truth as the future window without doubt but with conviction. Like a flight journey lets say from Sharjah to a destination Thiruvanathapuram,the pilot clearly sees the destination with such clarity that his navigation gives us the confidence about an invisible destination that's hoped for. Do we exhibit such a hope through our spiritual life so that others have surety about where they are destined for ? John 17:8,Heb 12:2,Luke 24:44-50

John: 3. 16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Hope of God.Hope of Man.
Hope of God is in man , centered around growth of man to eternal life from perishing by spiritual death .
It was this spiritual hope of God He preserved and divined His will upon Jesus Christ through whom the world was saved.When we change our attitude about Hope we too will understand hope is centered around others rather than situation.God's provision is already there in a situation so He asks man to be concerned about His kingdom and His righteousness. Mathew 6:31-33. The growth in eternal hope is an unavoidable spiritual subject.Without which ministry of new covenant becomes meaningless.2 cor 3:5-7,Mark 1:17,Mathew 28:19-20,Luk 24:44-50,Acts 1:8,
Hebrews 10:27,ROM 8:14-17,Hebrews 11:1-4,Hebrews 4:1-4
Hope in man is the surety of God.When we have hope in man with a surety that God has , the need to interact with man in the most perfect manner becomes a reality. John 17:17-19. The word to be preached to others should be with faith about them that they too are children of promise , God being its executor .Making man," fishers of Men"- needs hope in man to grow like Jesus . Just as the cross was nearing His hope in man about His justification, redemption, salvation was growing to such an extend that his inner joy ,peace & happiness was increasing .The cross thereby is the greatest exhibition of God's interaction with man every moment .

1 John: 3. 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.
The devil sinned by Himself.There was Sin inside Himself.Man was deceived by Satan.This is why Mercy was showered upon Man by God from the very beginning.The very cause and reason of God's mercy was this deception of man by devil which eventually lead to death loosing spiritual glory becoming slave to Satan as well as slave to God's anger.
Eph 2:1-9. This mercy is experienced through salvation ,redemption, justification, rebirth ,covenant , promise , faith & a eternal hope . God's Mercy is pinned on Man because of His eternal hope on Man . We must question our concept of Mercy by asking ourselves , our objective about mercy - Is it based on eternal hope about a person that we too show mercy on Others or is is based on any social need of society like marriage or whether we are from the same school ,same native place, same language or some other worldly similarities.
True mercy is showered upon others because God showers His mercy upon us till we reach that beautiful Shore.

Hebrews: 4. 15. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. -
Realising the need of the Others is to understand how Others themselves see it & face it .This is impossible without a mind to share the troubles or trials of others. This sharing of trials of others calls for ignoring self ,by manner of our own opinion & attitude about situation or people. Instead of seeing & sidelining it as others point of view.
The good Samaritan did this exactly .
God is always a listener to our prayers because of His merciful heart that is ready to share our troubles.Praying for others is sharing the views or opinions of others to God not as how we see it but as they see it.There is a reality in ignorance or weakness. To this when mercy is exhibited without others saying we come to realise it. And respond to it.
The holy spirit leads when a merciful heart is available.When the holy spirit reveals light, its also God showing His mercy to ignorance, as well as answer for the prayer .Therefore understanding the reality of today about Others is one of the most difficult tasks .Mercy is understanding the reality of today about Others and being able to respond to it.
When Jesus asked Peter to lead my folks , in a way He wanted Peter to understand the reality of today in the case of Others .Often both we as well as others play a waiting game .Waiting for something to happen . God never waits for our prayer but hears it , responds to it in a manner that we are never ridiculed .We are accepted without condemnation or judgement.Mercy never judges or condemns but hopes the will of God for others in its glory.

Johny Philip
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.
True mercy realises ignorance of others as well as one's own self.Revealing wisdom alone is not mercy .Hoping in faith about revealed wisdom to be put to action alone is not mercy .Giving ample time to realise a wisdom takes a toll on time.The attitude and opinion of mind to change from its conceived notions and to accept or realise takes time.
This calls for enduring as well as bearing one another.Which in other words is equal to allowing others to behave as themselves for the time being.This can be possible to rational mind only if it is sure like Jesus ,who is the keeper of souls about SURETY of OTHERS. Our surety similarly , could help us to exhibit this mercy unconditionally to others .
Extending mercy is forgiving others with great hope of a future about them.Which is really FAITH in others.
To have faith in others its important to be convinced that God is executor of His promise as well as covenant.

Isaiah: 53. 11. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. -
Bearing with iniquities is becoming one with Others to their level of ignorance .Accepting the ignorance of others not in flesh but in spirit.SPIRITUAL IGNORANCE of others is often one of the most ignored or unaccepted area of human interaction.The main reason for above is our own spiritual ignorance.Our own spiritual ignorance is often relying on our own wisdom rather than spiritual wisdom revealed by holy spirit.Relying on own wisdom is actually relying own our own will rather than God's will .Romans 12:2,Isaiah 55:8,ROM.8:14-17,Proverbs 3:3-5
Only when we are ready to be children of light do we really accept ignorance of Others.When we become children of light we are becoming ministers of new covenant.2 Cor 3:5-7. Only when we become this are we able to SEE others as really the glorious new creature .The old is gone.2 Cor 5:14- 19. Jesus came down to our level of understanding which was by showing Mercy on an everyday basis so that we see what we should see..Philippians 2:6-9.To See that , our mind's understanding should be opened.Hebrews 5:12-14. Where we should have grown to a level of solid food, we are still in infancy.Where newness of life is still a far cry .Still living in state of drinking milk.Mercy is accepting the infancy of others without imposing , judging ,condemning or without behaving in any unwanted complex manner, as if I know everything .I alone am right . Do I say- my opinion ,my thoughts alone are superior ?
No.
Mercy is allowing or giving ample time to others to discern .For who sowed or who watered is not the point, its God who makes the word Grow which ultimately achieves its result. This God does in His patience with endurance .Malachi 3:6
For its He who has predestined each one of us as well as others.As we see in the case of Moses and Paul.
Both have been chosen vessels to exhibit God's Mercy. But Ananias did not realise it initially.Acts 9:14-17, Eph. 3:3-7
Mercy always looks at others as How God looks at others .Psalms 139:14-17,ROM. 8:30-35
This attitude within Us is what's makes Others encouraged to really make a growth . We expect others to exhibit their faith filled life ,on the contrary its our own faithfilled life is what Others crave & desire to see. Often we DEMAND others to exhibit a life of FAITH . But we should be the ones to exhibit a faithfilled life for them to realise that- yes, living by faith is possible. Hebrews 10:38 is P O S S I B L E .
Abraham, Noah ,Joshua, the prophets ,the disciples- all where exhibitors of Individual faith .They also exhibited a faith that boldly declared ,"I am sure about YOU." I will never lose my hope about you .Because God never loses hope about you .You too are more than conquerors. ROM 8:37, ROM 1:16
Mercy of God
He never has reason to Give up on you or me or anyone ever .
This He testified through spiritual sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ and who is mediating for whom I Hate, whom I fear .whom I like. True Mercy reveals Faith about others, making them the greatest personalities that God Has willed with absolute surety- like Abraham. ROM 4:17-20

Romans: 11. 29. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 30. For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31. Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 32. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
To receive salvation of Soul ,one must obtain it through faith . To have faith one must hear and discern about salvation .To discern it ,one must realise when the glory was lost in the 1st place.To realise the lost glory , one must be under the mentor- the Jewish law .Its through the Jewish law one initially comes to know about sin and hence a SINNER.For the wages of SIN is DEATH.Through realisation of sin, realisation of death , glory lost as well as condemnation to hell and God's anger and seperation from God is discerned. Its this realisation that discerns- slavery to Satan ,deception of Satan , why Christ died for Sinner and why cross defeats Satan. Cross is salvation ,cross is redemption ,cross is faith ,cross is discernment of Saviour Jesus Christ, cross is discernment of God as Abba Father & oneself as Child of God . Child of God is born again in spirit and God is spirit and its a born again child of God in spirit that's led by the Holy spirit .Holy spirit makes one discern the Will of God upon oneself and this will of God includes to be the witness of Jesus Christ . The various gifts of holy spirit is given to each individual .Promise is given by God to each child of God and this promise is the sum and substance of eternal hope and this in turn the LOVE of God . The new Heaven and New Earth and covenant with man by God for which Jesus Christ is the mediator and to hold on to first faith to last. Its revelation of this will of God which only Holy spirit can reveal from moment to moment .
​
Why brotherhood is more of a priority than situation. What is weakness of flesh and why forgiveness of Sin is a must for God and why we too must forgive SIn and who is the, real Enemy is it people or Satan?
Are people my enemies by their bad ,unjust behaviour or is Satan the true enemy . Between whom is the enemity ? Enemity is between God and Satan and slaves of Satan .It was this enemity that was broken defeated by God through Jesus Christ when we were still sinning, helpless, without faith , spiritually dead .
Jesus bought us the peace with God and converted us from enemies to friends .For this individually one is made ambassador of Christ . He does not keep an account of our Sins any longer. Its here he saved us and abolished the law so there is no more breaking of law .ROM 4:15.
Real mercy that we must show is towards others in their ignorance of spiritual wisdom just like ourselves.
Receiving discerning alone is not enough but to grow in it to yield consistent result is demand of situation.
John 15:16. Encouraging one another is a true merciful act , not ever judging or condemning.
Do we use our memory , as an asset to remember the wrong doings of Others as we perceive it ! !
Where as God is not using His memory for remembering our Sins.Hebrews 10:17
This is an enslaved attitude that we see in others .Whereas God uses His memory for thoughts that are centered on us which He had even before we were born .
In its hope and faith He is waiting just like the prodigal son's Father.
What are we aclaiming about our memory ? Boasting about our memory ?
Often using it to recollect the weakness of others which prevent us from LOVING others, preventing us from forgiving others ,preventing us from showing mercy to others, preventing us from listening to holy spirit .The helper teaches us in interacting with others by revealing light to others, but on the contrary we reveal only mistakes of others and we pride in it ! God does not pride in it at all.But instead blesses us .
Mathew 5:45

1 Peter: 2. 10. Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. -
​
God is a God of Mercy.Why God is merciful? As we are children of light ,on everyday basis revelation as well as receipt of light & transfer of light is absolute requirement.For this the holy spirit is at work in us as helper .
This light revelation is always a very tiring , time taking & patient process .1 Peter 4:17 So God is patient.
Similarly we too must be merciful to others .To transfer & receive wisdom from us is a tiring process both for ourselves as well as others .Its ignorance that plays the greatest barrier by way of our own wisdom resulting in wrong attitude formation.So the greatest reason of being children of light is to be merciful .Eph.5:8,Mathew 5:14,John 9:4-5

1 Peter: 2. 9. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10. Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
To be a child of light is to reveal light and inspiration to others !.For this receiving light and understanding the attitude of receiving light the toughness as well as the patience required to transfer light is to be greatly understood. Every one likes wisdom and light .But wisdom and light is always the purging of our ignorance not purging of what we already know or gained. This always creates a trying situation for the mind equal to facing a new tough situation. Our mind will try to rely more on our own wisdom when new wisdom is being transferred to us by the holy spirit. This will be like what Jesus said ,The flesh is weak but spirit is willing. Revelation of light is to inner man.1 Cor 2:10-17. There an inner conflict always , as revealed light is to be accepted in faith .As the righteous shall live by Faith .What's revealed light ? 1 cor 4:1-2
Its as tough as to receive as well as equally tough to transfer .
Look at Moses and Paul as an example ! Both had to face such trying moments in order to receive wisdom at the same time much more tough in order to transfer it to others on regular basis.Never ever judging others but considering others as justified by God. As vessels of Mercy of God. Only if we too see others as well as ourselves as vessels of mercy could we accept ignorance mutually.The greatest test of mind is to accept others as vessels of Mercy of God always.1 peter 2:10 .Light flow only when mercy abounds.The greatest help or blessings are received to a person not in anything else but Light.For light makes the Other VICTORIOUS.In every new situation the need of the hour is light not anything else .This is often what we tend to ignore too.Ignorance of light results in lack of faith which in turn creates directly FEAR in mind .When we are merciful to others we are actually accepting the FEARS of Others like God accepts our fears always .Psalms 100:1-5 .He is always good and merciful
Titus 3:3-6, Heb 10: 38, Ex 4: 1-24

Romans: 11. 29. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. -
God has no apprehensions about you and me.He is sure about you and me.He is sure, out of His wisdom.His wisdom is hidden in His word.The power of His word shines in darkness to make the necessary inner transformation in our mind .
This He does all the time even without our awareness of the same.Mathew 5:45. Because of which He told Ananias about Paul with such surety ! Though what Ananias said was true. Acts 9:14-17.
Our duty is to have no element of doubt about others like God , then He can use us as instruments of LIGHT.
1 Peter 2:5-8. Called to be priests of LIGHT to OTHERS ALWAYS.Only this surety of others in us will create the confidence in others to accept our service in revealing this light.If our attitude about Others is negative we can never accept what's revealed to us by the Holy Spirit.We should never forget the fact about the justification of all ,by blood of Jesus which paid the price that was impossible by man to ever execute. Psalms 49:7-9,Revelation 5:8-9
Hence this justification covers no further sacrifice but Faith.Its our Faith that staggers about Others ! Often we try to exhibit faith which is for our own personal individual need .But as a Royal Priest its our duty to exhibit faith for Others ! Mark 2:1-7 .It was the faith of the four people that mattered for the healing of the sick man.We have been preached by Others but growth in us is from God.1 Cor.3:5-7. It does not matter who preached how its preached. Its God's will that predominates to make it happen .For God will not be debtor to any one.He will repay by making His word through you as if its through His mouth.Mathew 10:20,Isaiah 55:8-11.Its my word from my mouth . it will not fail to establish that which it was intended in beginning.Hebrews 10:10-17 God will not remember the sins any longer .So why hold apprehension about others ? Psalms 100:5,1 Peter 2:10 Before vessels of no mercy but now vessels of mercy.
Under Jewish law no mercy but under grace always MERCY abounds . Rom 4:19-25, Habb 3:17-19,Ps 34:1-17

John: 9. 4. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world
Live as children of light.To live as children of LIGHT its important to discern between two priorities that enslave us .The attitude towards world .The attitude towards people.Light is revealed only when attitude towards people are priority .The attitude towards people should take the centre stage of mind like Moses and Paul to be living as exhibitors of LIGHT.
For it is ' will of God' that's priority rather than situations .Today unknowingly we are driven by situation rather than people !.Each current moment is spend only with objectivity of situation and its solution and how it can be overcome.
In so doing what's totally ignored ? Its the will of God.
The great and precious promise is given inorder for us to execute the will of God in current moment.Will of God truly reveals LIGHT .When LIGHT is revealed there is no cause to judge OTHERS but revealed LIGHT to be exhibited or transferred.This is what Jesus always exhibited .Even when the adulterous women was brought in front of Him the occasion was used to reveal LIGHT rather than judging.I CAME TO SAVE NOT TO JUDGE.Judgmental mindset occurs when we are actually comparing others with the world. We are ignoring the fact 1 peter 2:10-11.Which states you and me are children of MERCY. Psalms 100:5 God is a God of mercy .Which means His ATTITUDE towards us always remain as Merciful.Never ever without it.What's our attitude towards others ?Does it contain conditional attitude ?
Sometimes its merciful at other times its demanding ?Such a variation puts the other at doubt about himself in a state of confusion .Why we are always able to approach Jesus ? He sees us as perfect without blemish justified by His blood by His own self always. This is His attitude about US.Mathew 5:45,Hebrews 10:17
What's our attitude about Others ?
Its our attitude that paves the way for others to be able to approach us to receive light or to be judged.If others are to be judged they will never come to us rather distance from us. For mercy abounds in place of IGNORANCE.
Who is there who is always fully wise ?

Hebrews: 12. 2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. -
Adding truth to interaction with that which has value becomes value enriched.What's of value is children of God.
What's of decay is things perceived of this world. 1 John 2:16-17. Doing the will of God amounts to adding value to others by transferring LIGHT.Ephesians 5:8,John 9:4,Mathew 5:14
When value addition occurs in others ,apart from us --individually the joy it produces increases in a special manner.
The joy that we get from world is based on handling current situation and winning it.But once its won its joy is over ! As that current situation has passed away only to be replaced by a new one. Which again is a test. So to say either we travelled through it like a stranger in a foreign land.1 Peter 2:10-11.
But in current moment if wisdom is added to Others -Others too who are recipients of eternal life travel along with us all the way to eternity. This results in a victory , a joy that's not momentary but increasing . A joy that's not of a particular value but in an increasing nature. As the cross was nearing its completion the world was passing away for Jesus but salvation to children of God was getting closer to its goal. John 3:16, Galatians 3:12-14
This was also a direct result of His interaction with the word . John 17:8. The power of word .Which is will of God.
Which when accepted in faith releases power of God.1 Cor.2:4-7. God has no apprehensions.For all His words become a reality.Likewise doing the will of God ,we needn't have any apprehensions.Its God who executes it. ROM.1:16. Be sure of its saving power. The way of world passes away.Doing the will of God does not pass away because its value enrichment is connected to that which lasts - Others.Eternally.
Result
A joy that increases on everyday basis.May the God of surety,( about us ) supply this desire for wisdom to execute His will abound in our minds forever . Amen.

1 Corinthians: 3. 10. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13. Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Strength of interaction as an asset.
If interaction is made with spiritual wisdom then the strength of interaction becomes more and more enriched, powerful to such an extend that a person becomes more valuable than situation . But if interaction is prioritised by situation with wisdom related to world, the value of person diminishs to such a level that the value of the person is almost ignored .
Priority of world takes over .
So what's the asset that the mind desires ?
The asset the mind desires is the world.This results in an interaction that's weak or lacks any interest or purpose other than meeting the objectivity of world. But then if we look back , what asset are we carrying for tomorrow ?
What's the asset we are carrying for tomorrow ? Will it be things that can be burned or that can lose its value ?
Strive to create an asset that does not get burned up on that day ! ! The asset of eternal value ! The asset called - OTHERS.Others become an asset when interaction with others are truly spirit led and ministry of new covenant is exercised on regular basis. 2 Pet 3:1-18

Ephesians: 2. 18. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21. In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22. In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Regular spiritual interaction with Others assisted by holy spirit results in growth in both others as well as ourselves.This growth is equated to building a house from its foundation.Which is like an asset. Often we ignore what this asset is or how this merits as an asset.This truly merit as an invaluable asset when we take into account what's added into each one of us .Yes! Its spiritual wisdom.Spiritual wisdom is the only tool with which reason of interaction finds meaning between each other .The strength of interaction between each other.The value of interaction between each other.
The meaning of why I interacted with one person yesterday ! The meaning of why I interact with one person today !
The meaning of why I interact with one person tomorrow ! This interaction finds a thrilling meaning .
The meaning is -There is a VALUE in the Other that I see that gets regularly added in my mind. The value that desires me to possess the other like a treasure whose value does not decrease but increase eternally.Yes relationship is always based on some sort of value.God has greatest value for us to such an extend that individually He has made us UNIQUE .
Like when we look back have we ever been able to see a replica of Abraham or Joseph or Moses ! Generations upon generations have passed.Have we ever found our replica from the past ! No.You are specifically you.Unique to God to such an extend that among infinite numbers that's countless individually each one is known.
John 10:4 We are indispensable to God.In building a house and its foundation one stone empty is a vaccum that cannot find strength to house.So valuable.This makes all the more why each one is of value to other eternally.Interaction becomes victorious not out of experience but out of wisdom .When we go for an interview the general question is do you have experience ? If one lacks it they are often turned down . In eternal life no one has pre- experience but wisdom is added moment by moment to such an extend that each moment a most amazing miracle happens in human interaction which is not possible when we interact with world. John 2:1-7 The disciples were filled with faith in Jesus when His glory was revealed. Yes . Its all about glory revealed in each one of us when we interact with spiritual wisdom. 2 cor3:3-18. John 2:11

Ephesians: 3. 1. For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2. If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you ward: 3. How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4. Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5. Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6. That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 7. Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
To be thrilled in interacting with others on everyday basis not because of situation or because of behaviour but because of what others are! The mystery of what others are when revealed by holy spirit creates a desire to interact with thrill to such extend that yesterdays interaction becomes an asset to eternal life. The vaccum of eternal loneliness needs to be filled with brotherhoodness. The experience of requiring to live eternally with eternal hope becomes more real.Demands of situation becomes just a passing event . Value of others in spirit increases oneness both with God and man.
John 17 is full of this mystery being explained by Jesus vide His prayer to Father.

Matthew: 22. 29. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Commitment to will of God and word of God.Commitment to will of God is same as commitment to word of God which is truth also.But often commitment to this truth suffers when fear replaces faith.Fear replaces faith when we question word or truth with any other idea opinion thought that is either put forward to us or coming up in our own mind due to our own wisdom.Jeremiah 9:23,Psalms 112:1-2 ,Psalms 112:6-7
This is mainly because we try to find light from word of God by our own strength like using the ten commandments by our own strength.For light is revelation of word of God by revealer the holy spirit.When light is revealed it becomes such a conviction that a hundred thousand questions are answered in our mind in same instant with necessary answers .
Surprisingly these questions too are not those we know how to frame.Even they are framed to help us by the holy spirit.
The end result is each revelation of light each moment makes an individual such an enlightened person that he/she experience a surety which we often say or exclaim as - my mind yells me to do like this or we take certain bold decisions . About which we ourselves wonder from where did we get such wisdom to behave reason act or talk etc.
This happened solely because even without our knowledge we were assisted by the holy spirit .In turn we got enlightened.If we realise this and accept this assistance of holy spirit then it becomes such a regular practise that consciously we will always revert to the holy spirit for each situation .Acts 22:10-17,Eph 3:1-7,Mathew 10:20
In other words to be sure about a commitment is to be fearless in the commitment.Often failing to act in direction of commitment is often the main problem to success.Not that the will of God does not prove hundred prevent success.
The will of God is the only proof of INDIVIDUAL success .The best surety to the life of an individual.The best way of how the life of a person should be shaped developed so that it becomes successful in every manner looking back or looking forward .Many a times we ask ourselves the question what's the meaning of my life ?Why even all these achievements in life did not make any sense to me ? The reason is just gain of world alone as ultimate goal of life results in loneliness that in the race to achieve it ,we never realised we were distancing ourselves in our mind a life from God & from others.
This will find meaning only when life is travelled a little bit individually when a sense of loneliness which acts like a fear starts to engulf the mind.To escape from it no matter what ever worldly solution is added nothing can suffice the mind.
The best example is the rich man and Lazer .The rich man experiences a loneliness which is intolerable .The greatest blessing God gives us through will of God is remove this vaccum of loneliness .As Jesus said.I will be with you all days till end of age.Mathew 28:20-21.

For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Attitude towards commitment to cross.Committed to the cross with proper wisdom gave a joy to suffer in the case of Jesus.Like wise we too must have proper wisdom about the cross that we need to carry which is Mathew ,16:24
And be committed to bear it with joy.But what's bearing the cross? Bearing the cross is direct interaction with another person on man to man basis and suffering the other due to the reason of joy that we will get out of gaining victory over the other person.Mark 1:17 . Jesus got victory over us by patiently enduring us even till this moment and to its end .
That's why He could be our mediator and saviour eternally.We are vessels of His mercy, kindness ,blessings, love & affection .Without commitment to win we cannot interact with others during current moment as the meaning or purpose of interaction becomes undefined or priority of interaction shifts from individual' victory to world and its gain .
1 john 2:14-17. Fishers of men priority changes to fishers of fish !
What's our priority when interacting with people ?
This is a question not to be put to others but to be discerned by own self. This priority can only be discerned and executed through spiritual gift and instruction through holy spirit.Example Peter was asked to go to gentiles at house of Cornelius. Acts 10:27-35, Mat 16-27

James: 1. 2. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 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. 6. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. 9. Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: 10. But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. 11. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 12. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Will of God is associated with temptation.This temptation is a blessing.Why ?
Its only when an individual undergo temptation he/she realises, discerns & experiences the ignorance of wisdom regarding what is to be endured.The will of God has objectivity of being witness to Jesus .Luke 24:44-50
This cannot be possible without experience of the same.Its like a young girl being taught or read about pain of child birth .Pain of child birth can be discerned only after experiencing it personally.But how do we define temptation ?
Its an experience of a situation in which the bearer cannot shun its responsibility to another person in any manner other than to face it.1 Cor. 10:13,Psalms 27:1-5, ROM. 5: 3-10 ,ROM.8:17-18
Its only when you undergoing temptation , the need to know or gather knowledge really dawns .That's when wisdom is craved . Thirsted not out of fear but with joy.Not out of hatred but with courage .Not out of irritation but out of patience.
What it all amounts to ?
To understand the other person properly !
Question ?
Do we ever properly understand the other person ?
NO.
We either hate or doubt or become angry or distance or fight with the other person .This is result of our ignorance of other person.Psalms 100 clearly defines why God is good all the time and why He is kind, patient ,forgiving, never getting angry or doing anything according to our sins.He understands us according to what we are ae per our unique nature.According to our ignorance.
To be an Ambassador of truth ,Christ ,Holy Spirit ,eternal life --experience of the same is a requisite.That is what gives us the inner strength, to trust ,have faith & remain attached to the other.Like how Jesus said with confidence.I will not leave you nor forsake you instead be with you till the end .
Were we good in any manner that we should be desired ?
Was it due to any inner quality we had ?
Titus 3:3-4
Similarly brotherhood is the result of desiring the presence of other with ability to understand the moment by moment ignorance of other and yet be tolerant to other without killing .That is to say to endure the other person not with curse but with joy knowing the end result is success in the other person.We often desire success in personal life.Success is often considered as one sided personal victory over situation .Have we ever desired victory over the other person by making the other person too, as victorious as ourselves .Revelation 3:20-21
Jesus desires our victory to same level of His own victory.Victory of others eternally is victory in joy.Victory of worldly physical things are required but they are short and will pass away.The parable of Lazer and rich man is an example .
Victory in physical alone is inviting loneliness in latter .Life is short ." Acquire not loneliness," but instead togetherness eternally as early as possible.Can we too say -I will desire your presence and be with you till end of world, always ? Like Jesus .Then we are His disciple .Ps100:1-5, 2 Cor 5:19-21, Luke 16:19-31, Mat 28:18-20
If you are an ambassador for Jesus- expect that it is natural that we come across ,meet & interact with people who seek their own victory . It should not deter us , but as ambassadors we need to remain focussed & interested in their victory Mathew 16:24, John 12:26

Romans: 12. 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.
The will of God that He had already designed in His mind for each child is so glorious that there is nothing better an individual can ever dream of becoming.The will of God always has the thrill and joy of God Himself .When an individual is thirsting to execute the will of God, its God who is thrilled much more than the individual.All of God's resources are outpoured to the individual to discern and execute the will of God. The greatest barrier to the will of God is the individual's own opinion that blinds him .Discerning the will of God ,executing the will of God etc is only with the assistance of Holy Spirit.from beginning to end. 2 Cor.3:5-9. It will appear to come from us but its gods gift.Executing the will of God also requires to discern the spiritual gift God has given to each individual which Paul had defined through the categorical example of Christ's body' various members.Discerning the spiritual gift only makes the individual become a mutual requirement to others as well as himself .A mutually win win situation. Normal human interaction is a one sided self centered selfish interaction in which individual opinion play a great part. In gift related interaction, its always selfless.Like the mouth and hand .Hand cannot demand that I am more important or vice versa.Both need each other equally to grow and achieve .There is no individual greatness only God's greatness alone rains.Well the reason of explaining the will of God to this extend is to keep it as the primary goal to stay committed to the will of God .
Others should also be encouraged to discern it for themselves and grow in it. Situation is created for this rather than a personal gain from this world.1 john 2:14-17. 2cor 3:5-7 , Rom 12:4-10, 1John 2:14-17, 1Cor 13:1-4, Acts 3:6-16, Eph1:16-19

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. 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.
The growth in wisdom about end point is essentiality of growth in commitment. As the end nears, the consciousness of commitment has to increase.The alertness of mind is absolutely required.The final moments of cross reveals the focus of a mind with commitment. The only thing that occupied the mind of Jesus was completing the will.Often in every endeavour what's lost is this consciousness of end point or growing in wisdom about the commitment. Ants is the best example.Proverbs 6:6-9.It does not have a leader.Growth in commitment always creates self motivated person who is always seeing opportunity related to the end point of commitment.When end point of commitment is there ,current moment is filled with hope, faith ,surety ,love, joy & happiness.It does not waste time on failure at all.It does not think negative.Confidence is the signature.
Proverbs: 6. 6. Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7. Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8. Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. 9. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

Hebrews: 12. 2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Commitment. Commitment is an essentiality for success in life.Commitment is a character of God.Therefore commitment is an essential requirement for His children too.God is committed to His promise ,covenant ,selection, His decision & His will. As His children who are recipients of all of above we too are required to respond to above by being committed to above acts and declaration of God.In one word- observing Faith to all of above .Setting commitment is a procedure .
We need to target the end result of a work .The end result should always give us a Joy.Define the end result to once own self.Living by Faith in New covenant is an individual act -target, goal & objectivity.In the old testament God gave a promise to Abraham about the promised land .The collective generation was led by many individuals to canaan as a group.In New testament End of Faith is Salvation .Individual commitment is unavoidable.
Question .Are we committed to the Salvation of our Soul? Commitment is dependent upon realisation of who we are .
Galatians 4:28-Children of promise.Setting a spiritual commitment results in defining what I am living for. Habakkuk 2:2-3,Mathew 16:21,Hebrews 4:1-4,Hebrews 11:6
A well defined commitment makes our mind sharp and focused in everyday life .What is to be looked for in a situation .
Why should I look for something specific.To look for something specific , we need wisdom .What wisdom should I need? No doubt! Its TRUTH. Which is word of God. John 17:17.It sets You free.This commitment makes God reveal everything .John 5:19-20.This commitment made Jesus always listen to the Holy spirit to discern the wisdom from Father regarding the Will. We too are given a will by Father. Romans 12:2,Mathew 26:54-56. Jesus always after discerning the situation through holy spirit would affirm ," this happened so the scripture might come true." This moment is connected to the End Point.He started and Finished with a great focus in mind.This was assisted by the Helper the Holy Spirit.We too are given the holy spirit .But why we rely on our own wisdom instead of the helper the holy spirit ?1 john 2:14-17
What's our priority ?Abraham, Issac, Jacob etc.... Moses, Joshua all witness of past had a committed life . Committed to what ? What's our commitment towards- ? .Are we looking today towards achieving this today as our priority ?
Or are we still distracted ? Like sheep without Shepherd. Mathew 9.36-38,
What are we looking as main priority in current moment ? Does what we look enable us to be connected to the end point? If such a target is there ,a need or necessity is there for us also to crave for listening from the holy spirit each moment. John 16;13 The helper is given to us.But he is left out in our life to a great extend .This is the main reason of being unfocused in LIFE.DISTRACTED in LIFE.This moment appear meaningless .Life appears without joy ? John 19:30
It was with joy Jesus exclaimed the last words -ITS FINISHED.It was based on completion of a perfect will.
Unless we are focused today into achieving what's interconnected to will of God ,when are we going to achieve it ?
On the last day ? John 9:4. As children of light we are to dedicate our life to the commitment .Refocus our commitment.
We achieve what we desire only if a committed life style is adopted. Often we have commitment because either situation or others impose so many things upon us .Even Satan.This results in changing objectivity unfocused behaviour.
Jeremiah 17:5-9,Mathew 16:22-29,Romans 8:14-17 .To be led by holy spirit is a possibility only when we individually assess our commitment to God.In order to be a witness of Jesus Christ we need to check our priority
& commitment in every respect.Luke 24:46-49 .Even resurrected Jesus revealed the truth to the disciples out of His commitment both to His own self as well as to His disciples. Mathew 28:18-20.The great commission remains an untouched perspective in everyday life because our commitment to the cause of Saviour Jesus Christ is at a sad question mark.Hebrews 5:12Why we are always tossed by this world ? What is our objective for today ? What do we want to achieve today as a part of our life today ? Anything in particular ? If Jesus asks us like how he asked the blind man ,What do you want me to do for you today ; will our answer embarrass him ?
Acts 22:10-17 Paul at the outset of His successful spiritual life started with what I have to do ? Ended with 2 Timothy 4:6-8.In a short blessed life span that God has given us , with a born again status, we need to recheck by our own selves , are we living a life with commitment .We tell children, others in office , to juniors about commitment but that's about what sort of commitment ? Are we worried at all if others live a life absolutely non committed to salvation ?
Instead of blaming them are we revealing any truth to them ? John 17:8-9- 11-17-18-19-24
​
Comiitment makes this moment connected to end point .What end point is there in our life today ?Does today thrill us with joy to look at opportunities that will shoot us to that end point?The great and precious promise is there.The holy spirit is there .The grace is there .The truth is there. The love, kindness & mercy of God is there .So strive to look for a thrilling opportunity today .Its surely there. Heb 3: 12, John9: 3-8, John 5: 4-8. Lifestyle of a person without commitment always blame others situation as well as self. A person with commitment never blames anyone. Only sees opportunities in everything. A life of joy . No reason or time to judge others.

John: 16. 28. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
True existence of oneness with Father is only when relationship with Father is renewed through truth.Truth is revealed only by Spirit of truth .Acceptance of truth from revealer of truth alone makes growth in faith.Walking in Faith.Being one with Father is walking in faith.Psalms 112:6-7
Opinion is the biggest hindrance to walking in faith.For on everyday basis we are facing situation as well as various opinions that define situation.This can be equated to a airplane hijacked by terrorists.Demands of terrorist become superseded by the purpose of the plane journey to such extend that somehow we want to escape alive becomes the sole objective of situation .Result ! The real purpose of journey is lost.The will of God is the Sole purpose of our journey.
God does not have to be concerned about His own self.For He is God.Therefore All His thoughts are concerned only about His children and that is out of His Love towards us.This is the full content of will of God .We as human beings always has a self part.Self part always experience a Concern about our own self.Which can be in so many ways.
Self development ,Ignorance of truth ,Own fears and anxiety etc.
For God no such things ever exist. For He is God.Result is existing in peace existing only as a Source of eternally loving Us.Its because of the above reason that truth can be trusted .Truth should be trusted .Truth alone should be trusted.
For ALL goodness remains rooted inside the realm of will of God.Every thought or opinion outside will of God does not contain goodness at all.ROM.8:5-7,Hebrews 11:6
Often we think there could be a goodness arising out of our own opinion or others opinion because many a time both appear to us as truth.Like what happens in Numbers 14:1-7,Acts 9:13-17,ROM.7:15-19,Proverbs 3:4-5,Jeremiah 9:23, Jeremiah 17:5-9......
Only what Spirit of truth reveals is will of God.What ever Spirit of truth reveal is goodness in perfect form.Never ever have to question or doubt it like Jesus.Who is One with Father.

John: 5. 17. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 18. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. 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.
Eternal oneness is relationship between God and man as Father and Son.This father and Son relationship is result of word which is truth .John 5:17-20.Oneness with God exisit only through the eternal word.This word joins us with God eternally.He being its source and we being its recipient.T his relationship creates Father Son relationship.
John 10:30 I and Father are One. Its through this oneness with Father on eternal basis with ABSOLUTE SURETY that we experience oneness with whole of generation.John 17:17-19 Your word is truth. Sanctify them with thy word .Not only them but also those who will believe in word from them.
Do we trust wisdom ?
If we really trust wisdom we should admit the fact that we admit our ignorance of wisdom too.For we experience what ever is revealed to us . The rest of it is revealed eternally.
What's revealed to us -if we are to trust ,there is the golden rule ! -
Your word is TRUTH.God is sure about His absolute Truth.We should also be sure about His word as Absolute truth .
Why should we too be sure about Gods word as absolute truth ?
This acceptance in mind results in believing in the totality of eternity.Without a sound belief in eternity the very existence becomes a confusion.
How do we relate ourselves to others .How do we interconnect ourselves with generations.How do we explain to our own selves what's reality of our existence .What's the real purpose of our existence ?What's real purpose of our existence.
We do not realise perhaps--> transforming to this world is the total chaos that blinds us to such an extend that both God and Man become totally a most meaningless priority. Romans 12:2 .The real priority that keeps mind focused is Truth .
Its this revelation of truth that Jesus exhibited to us.Which is in other words will of God.Hence will of God which is the truth must be the only priority.But in order that will of God become our absolute priority we should accept the fact that even with what is revealed we should accept it as Truth.This decides whether we are slave to our opinion or slave to truth.Why we are many a times tossed in our Faithlessness! !!!!Growing in Faith is growing in truth .Not living in our own opinion which varies a million times .Even to such an extend that we do not even know why we formed an opinion about anything at all .And a particular opinion caused unpredictable behaviour as well.In order to be of a predictable behaviour--> growth in truth is the key.2 Peter 1:3-7.

Ps103:10-14.Value based interaction always see everything as ignorance of wisdom not as breaking of law .
In fact ignorance of wisdom in the form of light is what we are.Ephesians 5:8,1 Thess 5:8-9 .He has not called us to suffer His anger but experience His love.The result of above is UNCONDITIONAL interaction with man.We too there fore must be able to offer unconditional interaction to OTHERS as its lack of wisdom that others too have like us.
ROM.7:15-19. Unconditional interaction allows others to interact with us with the benefit of gaining wisdom which allow oneness which allow faith which allow trust to increase.This increase inturn increases the VALUE of OTHERs .
This value is equal only to glory of God.John 17:22.The interaction based on value which is unconditional interaction does not ever judge the other person .Its AlWAYS trusts the other person. The moment wisdom is dawned in the other person,faith developes and he is free! So why should I judge others at all? John 21:14-17.Jesus did not bother to judge PETER at all but considered every behaviour of peter as ignorance.Even His attitude to gentiles as UNCLEAN.Acts 10:27-28. This calls for eternal patience . For growth in wisdom is never overnight but over a time period no one can assess.Don't put a limit to growth in wisdom .For wisdom is infinite.
John: 4. 23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. - This is the concept behind God being ETERNAL FATHER and WE being ETERNAL SONS.
He is fullness of wisdom and light. We are just opposite of wisdom and light.John 1:1-4,Galatians 4:5-6,Spirit of Sonship.John 5:17-20, 1Tim 6:15-17, Ps103: 10-13, Luke 2:40, Eph4:15,Isa 54:13, Isa 53:11, Dan12:2-3, Rom 8:14-17

Rev: 5. 9. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
Direct interaction between man and God or between man and man can be executed in two manners.
One is opinion based interaction .The other is value based interaction.
The common mode that is applied is opinion based interaction.In opinion based interaction is based on how I perceive this situation and others or God .This undergoes great change or variation .such that even I cannot be sure how I am going to perceive my tomorrow therefore I cannot be sure how I will perceive God or Others tomorrow.
The bible describes enough examples of this.
Started with one perception ended with another .Started with acceptance ended with rejection .
Abel and Cain onwards this is seen.Joseph and brothers .Moses and Israelites in book of numbers 14:1-7,King Saul .
Peter denying Jesus . Mathew 26 ,Elijah the prophet . The opinion based interaction is inconsistent interaction based on perception since behaviour varies on daily basis. The strength of interaction never increases but is just a thin line .
Jeremiah 17:5-9. When its broken I do not know.I cannot predict.I say I believe but because of the change of my opinion I cannot believe or trust .I believed in God but when trials came my opinion too changed .Even though God did not change I changed . Being a slave to my opinion, my interaction with others too undergoes a million oscillations in a hundred thousand manners that the other person is always in doubt or confusion as to what or how the behaviour will be next moment.The lasting behaviour happens only if its based on VALUE based interaction.This is how God interacts with Man.This value bases - Truth as the yard stick.From Adam to last man this is the principle God uses.
Redeemed to His image through precious blood and waiting with patience so that no one will be lost but saved.
Each one remains one with other just as we are one.John 17:23-26. Look back and see the variation of oneness is such a thin line in the case of man .Each one sets his own yard stick to oneness in such unpredictable manner & overconfident way that it ends in seperating each other and saying this is the limit for today.Yesterday this was the limit that does not mean today its the same - that is to say we cannot take it for granted because I interacted like this yesterday today I will be same or you can interact with me like yesterday .No . not allowed.I give you permission to interact with me based on How I perceive you today.Which is based on my opinion.Peter had said I will even die for you .But notice the extend to which he went before the rooster made it three times.Opinion and its difference really rule interaction to various degrees of anger, hate & seperation .This is not love .Its only interacting based on opinion.In plain oneness there is no proof or evidence but trust in the other.Hebrews 11:6. But opinion based interaction always demands proof or evidence prior to trust or interact.If you prove to me you are this- I accept you as this .You can interact with me like this .etc etc.Even if you prove I should perceive it also.Its so much demanding ,even if i provide the prrof & perception, it still doesn't last. So opinion based interaction is one without Oneness.Without love .Without commitment of any sort.
Its just what this Moment is to me .In value based interaction this is never the case.The opinion of God never changes about God & about man.He remains faithfull even if we are unfaithful.He never changes from his selection .ROM 11:27-29. When Jesus came to this world he saw zero in man in everything.Eph.2:1-4,Titus 3:3-4,ROM 5:4-9
Faithlessness .Isaiah 53:1-12.Yet none of these was or is a deterrent for Jesus to change his behaviour .Reason !
its value based interaction.Which has reference to the truth about what Man is ! Image of God Son of God.Glory of God Children of promise .Children of light .Has eternal life .Mathew 5:45,John 12:47-48.I came not to judge but to save.Unconditional interaction is offerred to conditional man who behave in opinion based manner.Malachi 3:6
What a friend we have in Jesus.Who see us only in Value according to the value set and defined in truth, which is His word. Who says -" I see you only that way never according to your opinion perception or behaviour or attitude ."
I remain in my Nature.Psalms 100:5,Jermiah 9:24,Isaiah 1:1-6.,My people do not know me.Truly a disciple or child of God should live on value based interaction pattern not opinion based interaction pattern .Where wisdom and its growth offer unconditional interaction without preconceived notion or change .Where oneness is really a permanent lasting behaviour that can be trusted & taken for granted .Where the joy of oneness increase as wisdom grow .Value increases ,does not decrease or vary .
What's the value we give to the other -Limited to my opinion .Of which I myself is not sure.
If the other person too is the same imagine how pathetically we are living .
Saying we love but reality is just a passing show of moments with different perceptions of same people in different light.!
2 Tim2:13, @ Cor 5:14-21,
Are we available to others unconditionally without opinion based interaction but Value based interaction that's rooted in truth so oneness and love will be experienced and growth be reality .Value be reality .Not insult be reality.Acceptance be reality instead of rejection .Following Jesus is oneness with God and man UNCONDITIONALLY.No law to bar as judgement to prick the mind. Rom7:7-25, Mat 26:69-75

Mark: 1. 17. And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
Following Jesus is becoming fishers of men.Fishers of men requires an individual interaction with a person .
Individual interaction with a person needs wisdom about the person from God on regular basis.
Individual interaction is often a clash of opinion, notion ,attitude, thoughts ,feelings etc .
This tend to differ as quickly as it is formed.It often leads to distancing, anger ,hatred etc
To survive in its midst is the key of following Jesus.
For why should I interact individually with a person with whom in no way I can adjust ?
The reason is truth about the individual is not what I feel about the individual.Truth about the individual is God's will about the individual.It is God who makes that individual into a glorious personality .For this He uses those who follow Him as His instruments.Jesus is sure about His individual interaction .This surety of individual interaction results in joy about the outcome or the end result.Interacting with surety with individual results in the individual being confident to succeed with hope, faith & courage .For individual interaction with surety is interaction with truth .
Which is wisdom revealed as light.This is possible only by the holy spirit.
In acts 9:14-17
We see individual interaction of Ananias with Saul .
Without the help of holy spirit and wisdom we see an Ananias governed by slavery of His own opinion.
Which is nothing but a meaningless exhibition of fear and doubt.No purpose is seen.
But the moment He receives wisdom about Saul, His reason to interact individually takes a purposeful nature.
A faithfilled interaction which is sure about victory .We all know the result was the transformation of Saul to Paul .
This calls for relinquishing our own opinion as well as not getting caught up in our own opinion when we interact individually.Often we get caught up in our own opinion resulting in difference of opinion unknowingly leading to anger, hatred & seperation .
Therefore being free of own opinion is of utmost importance if we are to be sure about individual interaction.
Individual interaction is an absolute requirement to be a follower of Jesus Christ because Salvation is individual.
Salvation comes through faith .Faith comes through hearing .Its this instrument that a send out person is assigned for.
Not for himself to form or impose any doctrine or principle or idea or opinion into the mind of the individual.
Such a neutral approach results in successful individual interaction.Which does not demand any sort of obedience to what's revealed or transferred.For which patience is rule of the game. Thats why Jesus waits patiently.
Successful individual interaction is an eternal growth in wisdom about truth . This results in all round development of a person's mind.This results in the individual finally getting personally connected with the holy spirit directly .
As is the case of Paul. In the second stage we see a Paul who is directly led by the holy spirit.
Jesus reveals this same principle
Luko 24:44-50, Acts 1:8
The duty of Ananias is over , once this direct interaction with holy spirit is achieved.Till then individual interaction with wisdom is a great requirement. Once the disciples were in direct interaction with holy spirit ,we see them individually being led to reach to Others in a greater level in turn.

John: 10. 4. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
Following Jesus !
Jesus following us was the - first phase .
When he came to us .when we were sinners, slaves to everything, slaves to Satan & slaves to our own opinion.
After we were liberated we are following Jesus - phase 2
Following Jesus is hearing His voice as wisdom which is not Law but word revealed as light .
Eph.5:8
John 9:3-4
Mathew 5:14
Isaiah 42:7-9
Revelation of light is by holy spirit who will convert the word into light not word into law.
This revelation of light results in faith .
This faith results in glory .
This results in execution of will of God.
This results in oneness with God.
This results in oneness with others.
This results in seeing God ,seeing oneself , seeing others in the perspective of God .
When we see in perspective of God , oneness results in JOY.
Joy is the experience of mind -when there is a motivation for pursuing anything without distraction but with determination and priority.
Often the will of God is ignored because we don't experience any joy in mind in executing the will of God.
Hebrews 12:2
Jesus was full of joy in executing the will.
This kept him focused , determined without distraction to Start and complete the will of God.
Will of God is not imposed but taken up by our own self out of oneness with God and Man and assisted by the Holy spirit .
This results in wisdom, where received wisdom is imparted as light.
John 9:3-4
Isaiah 53:11
In revealing light God becomes part taker of His love kindness mercy everything..
But we receive his light only if we relinquish Our own opinion & others opinion from our mind.
Then only our mind craves desires and hunger for hearing ,accepting light.
This only results in Oneness with God.
If there is no experience of oneness with either God or man & only indifference then how or why would we boast of desiring an eternal life ?
Which is nothing but living in oneness with God and man eternally .
Culmination of this oneness is - Jesus after completing His ministry went back to father.
John 17:8-9
John 17:23-24
How to start and complete the will of God ?
Become one with God.
Becoming one with God is getting out of our Own opinion world.
Listening to wisdom.
2chronicles 1:9-11
Solomon asked for wisdom to rule
Wisdom to be with subjects
Wisdom to be king .
This God gave freely.
We ask for what we need physically .
We do not ask for its wisdom.
The moment we receive anything our problem starts as we lack the wisdom to discern it & see the opportunities resulting out of what we received.
Joseph received everything.
But it was God's wisdom which enabled him to discern the will of God in midst of Egypt's abundance as well as its seven years of Famine.
Ignorance of wisdom results in seeing abundance or famine only .
The will of God in its midst is left untouched .
What a loss?
Isaiah 53:11
Its wisdom revealed by holy spirit that Jesus always discerned the true will of God in which He SAW US as How God SAW US

Hebrews: 12. 2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Growth in oneness is always growth in joy .
This growth in joy results in losing self consciousness . This results in undistracted determination & priority to execute the will of God .
Jesus started and completed the will of God upon Himself.
Like wise we too have a will of God that needs to be started and completed with the whole of our life.
ROM.12:2
Mathew 16:24
This becomes our prayer earnest desire as we grow in oneness with God .
But growth in oneness is nothing but growth in wisdom.
Proverbs 9:10.
Why is it growth in wisdom ?
Wisdom never expects anything in return other than surety of victory in everything .
Surety of victory in everything.
Surety of victory of Others.
ROM.1:16
Paul was sure about victory of others because wisdom is sure to make others victorious .
As God is good .
To be good God always reveals to all.
Mathew 5:45.
This revelation of wisdom always removes anger hatred etc .
Because surety of victory brings joy that removes every feeling of anger and hatred and sorrow which are deterrents to priority and determination.
To execute will of God its priority and determination are essential.
Which is done not out of pressure but a different phenomenon.
We can give something out of obligation.
We can give something out of no choice or slavery .
We can give something because we experience a joy in giving by our own selves.
Like when a mother breast feeds her child..
The mother too experiences a joy, a desire , craving intense desire to give.
Its a selfless act .
It does not say " oh what a boring thing ." No.
It is ready to forget self to give everything to child with such a joy ,surety ,hope, courage, determination & priority.
Doing this breast feeding is out of sheer oneness with child.Never expecting any reward or wages.
Again doing will of God is Mathew 16:24-28
We pray to God to reveal His will on everyday basis because of this oneness with Him.
John 17:23
Jesus never expected any reward other than the reward of victory of Others .
For growing in oneness there is a price to pay.Become selfless in this world .
Selfless means be ready to be rejected by men.
Isaiah 53:1-12
Rejected by men.

John: 5. 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.
The oneness of Jesus with Father was so great that it resulted in doing the will of Father as the greatest priority.
Nothing else could distract His attention other than execution of will of Father.
For will of Father is receiving the THOUGHTS of Father into the mind of Jesus .
When these thoughts are received into mind , the perception of all things are according to those thoughts .
The result is in SEEING EVERYTHING IN LOVE.
For GOD IS LOVE.
Jesus came to reveal mankind that God is love.
Everything that Jesus talked or did was nothing but exhibition of who really the FATHER was ! ! !.
Is there a greater revelation than exhibition of love ?
Is there a greater asset than love ?
Through love everything is there .
Remove love out of the equation, everything else loses VALUE.
Jesus gave us the value when He paid the price .
Revelation 5:8-9
True love reveals the value of OTHERS to others .
True love reveals the value of others in an increasing manner.
What's the benefit of increasing value to an INDIVIDUAL ?
We are able to perceive ours and their's EXISTENCE.(Its based on how you and me perceive our individual value )
Value related existence always result in joy happiness courage hope faith .
It always reveals kindness and mercy.
But what are all of the above ?
All of above is revelation of wisdom about the individual .
what we often ignore is this wisdom.
We presume that without wisdom all of above noble act can be done or executed .
No, not at all..
Each of above is revelation of nothing but wisdom .
Oneness with God results in experiencing everything that God is .
Psalms 100:5
God is Good .
Its this attitude that changes our prayer mindset.
If God is always good, what should I expect CURRENTLY or in FUTURE ?
Only Good!!!!!
Only good things to happen . only good in ourselves .
Only good things in others .
Oh my God !
This will result in nothing but thanking and praising God .
Adoring God .
Worshipping God .
So what's prayer ?
Its really expressing our thankfullness of past present and future which is always Good because God is good.
This results in a joy that's always always always an experience of happiness in everything.
Hebrews 12:2
Even enduring the cross there was the joy .
Why ?
God is good.
So everything is good.
Nothing but good.
Jesus started & as well as finished what he started.
This was the will of the father.
For this , he had a faith in father .
True oneness result in a state of mind that's always full of an inner joy !
This inner joy results in undistracted execution of PRIORITY .
Today what's our state ?
Always distracted by a million things .
Jeremiah 17:5-9
Its high time to analyse our prayer attitude ?
Is it an interaction with a God who is good or not good?
If we are one with God is there any law or rule to seperate us between God ?
Real oneness removes all barriers of law because what ever God is thats what He makes us too.
Yes, He made us into His IMAGE.
Genesis 1:26-27
The ever glorious image .
Oneness result in an always thankfull mind attitude .
Prayer is all about thanking for everything .
For God is Good ALL THE TIME.
​
Eternal life is all about nothing but "goodness". A goodness which sprouts from an eternal God is always good. A oneness with this goodness is without any BARRIER.
If your own son is your own mirror image what law will you use.. why should any law be used. Where was the law when Adam and Eve had glory. Was there any purpose for law at that time to separate God and man..?
Gal4: 6-7
2Cor 5: 16-19
Luke 2: 40
What we need for growth is wisdom about oneness , not separation by law. A growth through grace & Mercy...
