WELCOME TO MY 'AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ROOM'! TRAVEL WITH ME DOWN 'MEMORY LANE', AS I LOVINGLY, SHARE WITH YOU IN REVIEW, "MY LIFE - 'IN JESUS CHRIST'." Continuing......August 12, 1956 THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! Amen. [Luke 14:25-35 www.audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html]
REMEMBER, DISOBEDIENCE IS BRED DUE TO THE LACK OF 'LOVE'. If you do not 'love' Him, you do not trust Him. If you do not trust Him, you will not obey Him. REMEMBER THIS FOR THE FUTURE.
[Deuteronomy 6:5; Psalm 31:23; Luke 7:42; John 14:15, 14:23; 1 Corinthians 13:4, 13:8, 13:13; Galatians 5:22; 1 John 3:16; 1 John 4:8, 18, 19, 21, 5:3; Revelation 2:4]
'Obedience' to the Holy Spirit, the 'Counselor', our Helper, who comes into everyone's life when a person first believes, will, through the Holy Word, make certain, day by day, [sometimes, moment by moment] that 'the born-again' person is in 'the will of the Father'. All a person has to do is to stay 'listening', 'asking with the intent to obey'. [1 Samuel 3; John 14:26; James 1:2-7, 4:1-10]
When we do this, truly, each day is like being 'in the Garden', 'ever with a 'child's expectant heart'. Ah-h-h-h.
D. All you have to do, is to 'learn' to hear and to obey His voice, not the 'mindless chatter' from - YOURSELF, THE WORLD, OR, THE DEVIL. [See what happened to Adam and Eve, and do not make the same mistake. (Genesis 2-3).] He is still the 'Good Shepherd'. [Psalm 23; John 10:11] He will ALWAYS BE GUIDING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HOLY BIBLE. THUS, it behooves us to - 'KNOW WHAT IS WRITTEN'!
E. This 'process' now and to the 'end' of the 'journey of life', known as 'sanctification'; becoming 'exclusively the LORD'S', will take - some 'practice', [like the rest of your earthly life!]. So do not get - discouraged! What He has begun, He will finish, by His Continuing Grace. [Some things are worth - repeating.]
F. Of course, these are but 'introductory', 'nutshell' comments to you. As you venture forward with me, you will see that 'after' a person 'comes to faith' in God through Jesus Christ, the person is pardoned and reconciled to God, [renewed from 'the Fall', able to 'hear' God through the 'spirit' within, Genesis 3] But, that is only - 'justification'. [Yeah, you are out of the way of hell, on your way to 'living forever and ever in the Family of God.] BUT, then, the 'fun', the 'fulfilling life' really begins - 'sanctification' or - getting ready for a life well-lived, until the end of the journey, 'glorification'. A person becomes 'His work in process'. [Romans 8:28; Ephesians 2:10] And, He has 'good works' He will lead you into doing. [2 Timothy 2:15] If you were to get to the end of life, if any of us got there without 'this growth process', shall we say, without some 'grooming', well the future would be just like this present age. Egads!!
No, we all have to continue in His 'grace', for there is a 'spiritual' process of growing 'in the grace of the Lord', leading us to be able to allow the Holy Spirit to 'produce fruit' [change our ways and attitudes, Galatians 5]. This is necessary so that we 'think like Jesus', 'speak like Jesus' and 'act like Jesus', - BE LIKE JESUS -more and more, 'from the heart'. It is just like the process of 'physically' growing up. We learn at different stages through our circumstances. And, yes, I have found that 'growing' in both -the physical and spiritual realms - can be compared to the earth's natural seasons - SPRING, SUMMER, FALL, WINTER.
WE ARE ALL UNIQUE!! THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKS WITH EACH OF US, INDIVIDUALLY. BE ENCOURAGED!
[Psalm 139:13; Isaiah 44:2, 49:2; Jeremiah 1:4-5, 29:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9, 1 Corinthians 10:12-13; James 1:2-8, 4:1-10]
Therefore, you will find over the next months, years, [how ever long the Lord wills], posts giving testimony, witnessing, the marvelous 'work-in-progress'- of a 'modern-age' 'follower and disciple' of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I pray that you have or will find, this wonderful, 'abundant life', if you have not already done so. If you have, may you be further encouraged to continue to look forward to even more growth. You can find, no better life, for real! Be sure to take some special time with the first post at this, and in each of the 'rooms' of my home. First things are always - FIRST. Blessings to you from 'my testimonials' 'in Jesus'. Do not laugh too hard. Amen. Amen.
