Day #5 of 20-day Blog mini-series #2
Chapter TWO, "In Christ Jesus our Lord"

    
"In Christ Jesus our Lord"
          Jesus said, "I and my Father are one. " (from John 10:27-38) Those who heard Him understood what He meant and considered it blasphemy. They charged Him with claiming to be Deity saying, "Thou, being a man, makest thyself God." Jesus replied with the scripture that declares the same for God's people, "He called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken." Therefore, Jesus extends to all believers the status of Deity!

Question to ponder:

Have you received the gift of the Holy Spirit of truth?   _________________________________________

Keith's "Comments from the Author":

          "Now, please do not confuse the gift of the Holy Spirit with the diversities of spiritual gifts the Holy Spirit brings, such as, word of wisdom, word of knowledge, prophecy, speaking in tongues, and so on. These are manifestations of the Holy Spirit. The gift of the Holy Ghost precedes all of those. But we must ask the Heavenly Father to give us the gift of the Holy Spirit. 
         Moreover, if you have not asked for the gift, then you cannot 'know the things that are freely given to us of God' because your natural mind 'receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.' Unless we learn through the Spirit the things that are freely given to us of God, we cannot fulfill the purpose for which God created us. Selah."

"Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ ... For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many." (1 Corinthians 12:4-18)

*HAVE A WONDERFULLY BLESSED WEEKEND!  See you MONDAY, and please make sure to invite your friends who are lost or who just need encouragement too! God bless you!*

Day 2, Paragraph 2 of Weekday Blog #1

*Starting our morning and day off great with the 10-min Weekday Blog*

Our first DAILY blog, every Weekday in JUNE!

Thank you for joining us for this
ground-breaking JOURNEY...
through the 1st CHAPTER of Keith's book,
“Keep the FAITH…Keep Your VISION”!

If you will read this book in its entirety, then you will be equipped
to begin walking with the confidence and authority that Jesus Christ
came and died to provide for us, in order that we may work *with*
Him, be *fulfilled* in our work, lead a *successful life*, and...
      

Day TWO,
Paragraph TWO:

    
Why does it happen that so many people end up taking wonderful visions and dreams, things they carried with them through life, to the grave?  Why is it those people talked about doing great things, but never put them into action to get them out from within their hearts where God placed them?  The answer is simple.  They never found out what God's purpose was for putting them on earth to begin with, so their lives were mere shadows of what they had the potential to be, having no real meaning.  They did not fulfill the purpose for which God created them.   because only in His purpose is the secret to a successful life to be found.

Question to ponder:

What is at least ONE thing that you hold as a passion or vision in your heart, that you haven't done anything with in your life yet?  _________________________________________

Keith's "Comments from the Author":

"This I have learned:  ‘Succeeding’ in something like sports, business, music, and the like, cannot be enjoyed fully based on the world’s standards for success.  True fulfillment can only be enjoyed as you gain those 'successes’ at the same time as you are finding out from God how He wired them in you to be.  And, working *with* Him to fulfill those purposes for which He created your talents and abilities within you to use toward your successes, as you work *with* Him.  Though I won awards for success in the business world, there was always underlying discontentment.  Though I achieved success in the world’s eyes, the fulfillment I was seeking came only when I sought God and what only He could reveal to me as 'Manufacturer' of all I am and that He wired in me to do and to be, *with* Him.  Until that point, succeeding in achieving high-dollar sales and production teams was not enough to override my feeling miserable doing it.”

"Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. &nbspBut seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
(Matthew 6:31-33)
