My Food is to do the will of My Father in heaven.

I have always loved this scripture, John 4:34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work."
I focus on the food of this world way too much. Everything that feeds me physically everyone should agree should be good food, food that's good for me, with a treat every once in a while, and yet for me too much of my time even physically is spent on food that is not good for me! Ice cream, snacks of every kind, food that tastes good, but isn't good for me!
Spiritually I need to be fed only the food that my Father provides, where He leads and guides me, the places of His pasture.
This world offers all kinds of spiritually food, and spiritual candy of every kind as we watch our favorite TV shows or movies. "Lord why do I focus on so much that doesn't give me life, bring me around to the place where I want You more than any other thing. Lord I don't want this world or the things of this world, I just want you, and what You provide, because you are so kind, solving I know what you have for me is only good things, so I can trust in you, come to You, and receive what I need form You, however You choose to provide what I need!
Lord let me finish the work You gave me to do, I want to focus on that, and not on all the things around me that draw my attention off of You! You are the only One worth looking at, because you created everything else, so who else should I focus on but You!! Lord help my vision, my vision to be about You, on You, for Your glory, in Jesus Name, Amen!!"

Jude

I Love this scripture I read this morning, and all of Jude is a challenge, read it! 24 Now to Him who is able to keep you[f] from stumbling,
And to present you faultless
Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
25 To God our Savior,[g]
Who alone is wise,[h]
Be glory and majesty,
Dominion and power,[i]
Both now and forever.
Amen.

Let us crucify the flesh with it's passions!

My wife has this really cool dream. She went into this really beautiful house and then she was working out in this field and shoveling stuff. Then she would bring this stuff, guided by a 13 year old, into the basement of this house and dump it there, if this wouldn't effect the house in any way!
So the Lord showed me that this house is us the bride, and more specifically it's my wife and I. The poop that was brought in was the impurity of our flesh, our dung. More specifically my flesh, my dung. What I bring into this marriage is either my flesh, or His Spirit. Let us crucify the flesh with it's passions. (Romans 6:1-71) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
1 Cor 6
12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13 Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”[b] 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body[c] and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Press in closer and you will see

As we press in closer to The Lord, remember that He already pressed into us, and even became one of us, then He died and rose again so that He could come and reside in us, you can't get any closer than living inside someone.
"Lord You love us soooo much. There is none to compare to Your Love, it is greater than any heighth, greater than any depth, Your Love is deeper than any sea, and with Your Love oh Lord, You Loved me, thank You, in Jesus Name, amen."

The sin that so easily besets us!

Hebrews 12:1&2 let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith,
The word beset here means competitor, thwarting in every direction. The sin we struggle with is life threatening, the very abundant life Christ promises us, let us, people of God, lay aside every sin which so easily entangles us..."help us Lord, in Jesus Name!"

Leaders like mighty men!

Zechariah 10:4b & 5A "From every ruler together. They shall be like mighty men, who tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets of the battle. They shall fight because The Lord is with them.
This is a promise, and I believe a promise to all leaders who walk in Christ, and not in this world and the things of this world, which we are ALL tempted to to walk in, but this type of walking only has death, and no life to it.
"Lod help us to walk in all the things You have for us, and leave nothing behind. We want all of You Lord, and none of us, You are everything Lord, You are good!!" In Jesus Name, amen!!

The Fruit of The Spirit

Gal 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,[c] fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders,[d] drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Imagine our lives so lived by The Spirit that we didn't fulfill the flesh at all, then God would be able to give us the desires of our hearts, cause they'd be pure!!
