“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth” Colossians 3:2
The word from God today is palpable referring to the ability to live in the presence and reality of Jesus.
The person of Jesus lives in heaven. You cannot see Him or meet in His presence on earth.
You have to come to the palpable Jesus through the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Christ and lives in all believers. He is not illusive.
The Holy Spirit makes Jesus very tangible. Jesus becomes alive in your heart, mind, and body.
The frontier of God is like crossing a boundary from the world into the kingdom of Christ.
Jesus becomes tangible when you reach out to Him with an open heart.
The decision to live for Jesus will create an endearing and embracing relationship with God. Jesus will become your best friend whom you can trust implicitly.
Jesus will become real. You will hear His voice. Jesus will become embodied in your personality, thinking patterns, and emotions.
The beginning of salvation is easy and then comes the arduous work. This work is prayer, reading the word of God, and training yourself to live under the authority of the Holy Spirit.
Your relationship with Jesus is defined by sin. The Holy Spirit is relentless in convicting you of sin and teaching you how to live by the values of Jesus.
Jesus wants you do His will on earth as it is done in heaven. This is very difficult because we all have inner nature to live for self.
This is where the Holy Spirit plays an important role in your life. He keeps you on a pathway with God and transforms you into the character of Jesus.
Jesus has nothing to do with religion or keeping laws. He wants your obedience to Him regardless of the cost or sacrifice. Jesus requires you to walk by faith believing in His promises. You live by faith not by what you see with your eyes.
Jesus won’t give you a life free of troubles. He probably will increase your troubles but He promises to give you the strength, joy and peace to live above the adversities of life.
Jesus keeps His promises!
