Jesus is perfect and has no ego. The natural man has a personality to live for self and a dark inner nature.

The human being created by God cannot see the totality of his personality. He can see glimpses of his creation but most is hidden from his eyes. There is a deep part of his inner creation that is unscrupulous and desires to pursue darkness.

As human beings we lack the ability to evaluate ourselves. God sees everything about your personality and knows you better than you know yourself.

It is impossible to live in oneness with Jesus until your genetic dispositions are aligned with God. This can only happen to the believer who is genuinely seeking the will of God and submitting to the Holy Spirit. You can never make yourself like Jesus but He can transform you into His character.

Your individuality is broken when you relinquish control of your life to Jesus. Jesus begins to refine you with His values and you learn to live in oneness with Him.

The change into a new creature is a long process and painful at times. If we could just understand God wants to give us all the things we desire in a way that will not bring evil or destruction upon us.

When you look at yourself thank God for the awesome person He is creating in His likeness!

Jesus hears your every thought and sees your every action. This is the reality of our omniscient God who shatters the ability of a person to hide hypocrisy.

With God your life is an open book. Nothing can be concealed.

You may think you can get away with what is done behind closed doors but you are gravely mistaken.

Hypocrisy is the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform.

As an example, you are pretending to be a Christian but failing to walk with the moral standards of Jesus.

Jesus spent much of His ministry confronting the Pharisees, the religious leaders of the day, over hypocrisy. They operated with false motives and disparaged the teachings of Jesus.

Jesus ridiculed the Pharisees who could discern a coming storm but were oblivious to the spiritual things of God.

The Christ follower is humble and understands like David “my goodness is nothing apart from You”.

God doesn’t expect a human being to be perfect but He does expect you to have an open heart to accept the conviction and correction of the Holy Spirit.

Walking with God is about change. As a new creature in Christ you are letting go of the past and praying for the transformation of your personality to be more Christ like.

It is impossible to hide from Me. I see everything?

The challenge is asking yourself “Am I willing to relinquish control of my life to God. Until you reach this point you are deluding yourself about walking with God.

Most Christians operate mostly out of their flesh and reject the power and authority of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said the starting point is you must be born of the Spirit and Water.

The Spirit baptizes you into the death and resurrection of Jesus and the Water transforms you from your natural life at birth into a new creature sealed with the Holy Spirit.

If you are a born again believer, the wind or Holy Spirit blows where it desires. You can discern the presence of the Spirit at work but cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. You are literally operating under the authority of the Holy Spirit and not through your flesh. You are living in uncharted waters on an unpredictable journey crafted by God.

God is opening doors and guiding your pathway. It is like getting on an elevator and resting while the Spirit delivers you to your destination.

God is a Spirit and we are instructed to worship Him in Spirit and Truth.

Walking by the Spirit requires vigliant prayer, reading the Bible, and listening for the voice of God.

The promise from God for the Christ follower is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ will set you free from the law of sin and death.

The flesh brings death and the Spirit offers freedom from the bondage of sin.

The beauty of walking with Jesus through the Holy Spirit is you can experience a personal and embracing relationship with the Living Christ every day of your life.

I became a Christian as a very young man. I imagined Jesus as a God located in heaven who could not really help me down here on the earth.

I needed help in my marriage, my work, and finding wisdom and peace to cope with all the challenges of life. I thought salvation was about life after death. Oh was I mistaken!

In my mid thirties I found the Living Christ and He changed everything about my life. The presence of Jesus became alive in all the moments of my life.

I personally met Jesus early one morning and I saw His greatness and glory. This was the most terrifying experience in my life. I can tell you unequivocally Jesus is the most powerful force in our universe.

You may not accept all my words about Jesus which I can fully understand. Jesus has to be experienced.

There is only one way to validate the truth about Jesus. You have to meet the Living Christ. I am going to introduce you to Jesus without any religion, fanfare or requirements to justify yourself with Him through laws or works.

Here is a big secret about Jesus! He hates religion. Jesus wants to set you free from the bondage of laws and regulations.

The instructions of Jesus are designed to keep you away from evil, provide protection and give you an abundant life.

Jesus desires to have a personal and embracing relationship with you. He wants to be your best friend.

Jesus desires to speak to you and fill you every day with His thoughts. This is awesome because Jesus is omniscient and sees everything in your future. He knows your every thought, where you will eat lunch today, who you will meet, and how you will spend your time and money.

Jesus wants to fill you with His strength, wisdom, joy and protection. This is not make believe. The attributes of Jesus come from heaven and cannot be found or duplicated through any other source.

Jesus desires to give you a quality of life you can never achieve on your own.

Ask and you shall receive Jesus! But ask by faith with an open heart and you will be overwhelmed by the presence and love of Jesus.

As a footnote to believers, last night the Holy Spirit came upon me like a lightning bolt and said there will be a change of leadership in the government of the United States this year. This is not something I have been spending a lot of effort in prayer. I have felt for a long time God has given up on our country. Expect the unexpected with God!

The word from the Holy Spirit today is vacarious which means experienced in the imagination through the feelings or actions of another person.

I struggled with this asking God for clarification. The Holy Spirit told me this is about identifying with Jesus through your mind and emotions.

This is how we all can find hope, joy, and victory regardless of our circumstances.

Vicarious living is bringing the reality of the Living Christ into your heart, mind and soul.

This is not make believe; it is God giving you glimpses of who He is and the wonderful plans He has for your future.

Today you might feel distress, anxiety or fear so come to Jesus in Spirit and Truth. He will give you a refresher of His goodness and remind you He is a powerful and loving God.

Jesus knows you better than you know yourself. He is making you into His character which takes time.

Vicarious living is walking by faith believing in the promises of God and not what you see with your eyes.

Vicarious believers stand on this promise; “My God will supply your every need according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.”

The vicarious people of God believe “I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength.”

The Christ follower is filled with vicarious faith because God keeps His word.

The vicarious mind set for today is “Nothing is impossible for Jesus!”

And this is not imagination! Jesus has power and dominion over all things.

Jesus is the glorious retreat from the ugly world we live in today!

The words of Jesus define how you relate to Him. The analogy is to think of Jesus as the vine and the believer as the branch.

If a man abides in Jesus He promises to abide in you at all times through the efficacy of the Holy Spirit. This will allow you to bear much fruit as a powerful witness for Jesus.

Jesus reminds believers you can do nothing if you are apart from Him. It is only in demonstration of the Spirit and power that lives are changed.

The Holy Spirit wants believers to have a symbiotic relationship with God. The term symbiotic means a mutually beneficial relationship between two parties. God is speaking about a believer and Jesus.

If you want the best from Jesus you must take Him seriously!

This symbiotic relationship is created by a believer who commits his life to Christ and vigilantly seeks the will of God. You will encounter the Living Christ and your life will never be the same.

Jesus tells all believers if you attempt to keep your worldly life you will eventually lose it but if you are willing to lose your life for Jesus you will become a new creature in Christ filled with the goodness of God.

We live in a pernicious world under the influence of Satan. He is a highly injurious and destructive influence.

As a believer, we walk with Jesus by faith and submit to the authority of the Holy Spirit. Jesus promises to provide a powerful buttress of support against evil but you must be abiding in the Holy Spirit and not operating by your flesh.

The warning from Jesus is “Anyone who does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.”

He who is in Me is greater than he who is in the world!

The word from God today is evolution which is defined as the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form.

We are examining the transformation of a human being from their natural life at birth to a new creature in Christ.

This transformation begins with receiving the gift of salvation. God seals you with the the Holy Spirit who is the life of Christ. He is always at work creating new life in a believer.

The Holy Spirit works to change your thinking patterns and moral values. He changes your perspective on life from living for self to seeking the will of God.

The relationship between faith and experiences will influence your spiritual growth with Jesus. God wants you to trust His promises regardless of difficult or impossible challenges in your life. If you interact with God by experiences you will have an up and down journey filled with anger and blame for His lack of support.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you!

The benchmark in your journey is making a decision to abandon yourself to Jesus without any exclusions and seek His will for your life. Until you reach this point you will vacillate between God and living for self.

The process of evolution into a new creature will be accelerated by coming into a personal and embracing relationship with the Living Christ. You will hear the voice of God and the Word will become alive and powerful in your life.

Walking with Jesus is experiencing many different seasons. The seasons are designed to teach you obedience, strengthen your faith when facing trials, and build fortitude (the courage of Jesus) when dealing with all kinds calamities.

The righteousness of Christ will come to you by demonstrating your faith in facing all the challenges of life. Your works or religious activities are of no value to building your faith. Without faith you cannot please God.

Jesus desires to have your unquestioning obedience and loyalty to Him. He wants to be the centerpiece of your life.

Build a strong bond with Jesus through prayer and intercession. This is life changing and touches the heart of God.

Just before Jesus was crucified He explained the purpose of the Cross.

God spoke His judgment over the world. Satan was defeated and cast out from any control over death.

The standard of righteousness was established by the Cross.

God lifted Jesus up to Heaven and this act gave Jesus the ability to draw all people to Himself.

God created the gift of salvation through the Cross. This miracle allows a human being to live in oneness with Jesus on earth and then forever.

The moral law introduced by Moses was replaced by the Cross. The blood of Jesus forgives all sin and the righteousness of God comes by faith in Christ.

This miracle is for all. Just ask and you will be made into a new creature in Christ filled with the life of Jesus.

Last night the Holy Spirit told me to think of Jesus as a linchpin which is defined as a central cohesive source of support and stability.

You can have this supernatural strength the rest of your life just by reaching out to Jesus.

Jesus keeps His promises. He has power and dominion over all things.

Jesus is a perfect God!

The Holy Spirit has been warning me for a long time about the future. We are facing the wrath of God in the form of judgments.

This is not meant to scare anyone but to help you prepare for the inevitable.

The judgments will include wars, pestilence, famine and food shortages, economic chaos, and Antichrists posing as men of God.

Why is God so angry?

We do not fear or respect God and have betrayed Him by our moral standards.

Many governments have passed new laws violating the precepts of God without any consideration of the biblical consequences.

Our society accepts or endorses the new laws and progressive liberal attitudes prevailing in the world. Sexual immorality is rampant and accepted by many as a normal path of life.

Living for self is ingrained in the heart and mind of many people.

How can we prepare for the coming tribulations?

You must be in oneness with the Living Christ. This is characterized by total abandonment to Jesus and abiding with Him under the authority of the Holy Spirit.

Pray for the faith of the patriarchs. The Christ follower must have unwavering faith regardless of the conditions in his life. He must trust God not what he sees with his eyes.

Most believers build their faith on experiences. If your faith is contingent on experiences then the calamities will upset and destroy your faith.

You must be in contact with the Living Christ and hearing His voice with consistency. This will give you confidence in God without any reliance on religion.

The Christ follower must live in prayer and intercession and make this a strong discipline in your life. Prayer is conversations with God and intercession is bringing down strongholds through the work of the Holy Spirit.

Read the Bible under the authority of the Holy Spirit. The Word is alive and powerful. The words of Jesus are life changing.

Once you are in contact with the Living Christ religion will no longer have any influence in your life.

The coming judgments are going to be brutal and will cause deep inner pain, brokenness, and anger. God will seem like He has disappeared. Believers will need to seek the blood of Christ to cover their sins and the healing power of God to stabilize their emotions and the injuries to their spirit and soul.

The Living Christ will bring a confluence of His goodness, restoration, and healing into the lives of believers in His perfect timing.

Stand firmly on the rock of Christ!

Walk with Jesus by faith anchored to the Holy Spirit.

Jesus has power and dominion over the heavens and earth. He will protect and deliver the remnant of Christ.

A powerful revival is coming!

The priority of Christ for a believer is to give up your freedom and your rights and become a slave of Jesus Christ. This seems like a drastic and unfair request from God but it is the heart of Jesus for a believer. Very few believers will honor this calling from God. It is just too costly.

This has nothing to do with religion or works. Jesus wants all of you for His purposes. The commitment is to be obedient and loyal to Jesus regardless of what He does with you. Or, how long you live in the desert.

If you choose to surrender your life to Jesus He will fuse your personality into oneness with Him. You will hear the voice of God consistently and begin to think and act like Him. The beauty of abandoning yourself to Jesus is living in His presence at all times.

Walking with Jesus is painful at times and requires cutting ties with the world. You will suffer like Jesus and feel the agony of being crucified along side of Him.

The surgical work of the Cross is designed to take away your ego and pride. You learn to serve Christ in very difficult circumstances and become isolated from the world.

The calamities come and it seems like God doesn’t care about you. Life becomes precipitous with no way out.

Many times Jesus will shut you down. The visions and revelations will disappear and Jesus seems very distant.

What is the purpose of all this pain and suffering? Somehow God will use you to further His Kingdom and bring glory to the name of Jesus.

It makes no sense now but some day you will see Jesus for who He is, the Creator of the Heaven and Earth. He is from everlasting to everlasting!
