The conflict between self and God!

“I and the Father are one.” John 10:30

The goal for a disciple is to live in oneness with God. This is not easy with the temptations in life and the desire to please self.

The starting point is you have to be in submission to God and have a genuine desire to do His will. Until you reach this point your actions will fail God.

God wants to live through all your thoughts, words, and actions. He has placed the Holy Spirit inside your body to help you navigate through life and reject the emotions and urges of self.

Jesus is your role model. He never yielded to self or fell into depression or gloom. He was successful in all his endeavors. How can you and I emulate the life of Jesus?

You cannot lead a spiritual life through an intellectual approach. You have to be born again with Water and Spirit. Your old life has to disappear and the life of Jesus come into fruition.

This will give you a new outlook on life. You will understand in the depth of your heart Jesus is the Creator of life and has power and dominion over all things in heaven and earth. This changes your perspective on living. You now realize nothing is impossible for a disciple of Jesus.

The objective of a disciple is to apply the teachings of Jesus into your life. Jesus has given you the tools to accomplish this mission. They are praise, prayer, the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus wants to infuse you with His abundant life—your health, relationship with spouse and others, work, finances, and recreational pursuits.

The secret is to keep “letting go” and walk with Jesus by faith. Turn to Jesus for help when troubles arrive. He is your rock and your fortress and will never fail you!
