JESUS IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE

Jesus is the resurrection and the life.
If any can believe it they will never die.
If any can receive it they will never die.
Press on into this Kingdom life.

Gifts and fruits of the Spirit must appear in us,
Every Kingdom element must be restored.
All ministries and offices the Word records,
And perfect unity is a must.

The little separate kingdoms exalting men,
The Babylon of voices must surely fall,
And speculated doctrine with convincing call,
Shall topple at the Lord’s command.

Emotion can’t inherit eternal life,
But yielding to God’s Spirit is what gives us life.
The fruit of reasoned doctrine is only strife.
Submission to the Spirit gives us life.

All the man-made orders exalt the flesh.
To grow to life in Jesus, all our flesh must die.
The Spirit of the Kingdom makes the flesh all die,
So live to God and kill your flesh.

Jesus Is The Resurrection And The Life

God created you to always stay connected to the Almighty

The godless outlook is meaningless, purposeless, and ultimately unsatisfying. God created you to always stay connected to the Almighty in love. In that bond, you find the only place where meaning, purpose, and satisfaction can exist.

Scripture says “I shall be satisfied when I awake with His likeness.” You can only be satisfied as God transfigures you into the likeness of Christ. Without that holy union with the divine, the godless person reaches out for meaning, purpose, and satisfaction but always comes up empty.

Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones sang, “I can’t get no satisfaction.” And you can have no satisfaction without Christ.

So, the godless mind looks for satisfaction in all sorts of places that can’t yield satisfaction. The result is depression and addiction. In the end, many naturalists turn to the occult trying to find meaning. They end up enslaved to Lucifer in one way or another.

The godless outlook is the reason the world is in chaos. It’s the reason schools and news programs promote all their senseless ideas.

If you have been born again, there’s no need to have a minute godless outlook. You can walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, listening to the voice of the Father and yielding to His Spirit, every second of every day. If you lose your focus, just confess your fault to Him. He is faithful and just to set you back on the Pathway to Life.

JESUS IS THE O

Jesus is the only Truth that matters.
He’s the only Truth that can withstand the test.
In His presence all my arguments are shattered.
In His presence is the only place of rest.

I will seek Him and know Him.
I will walk in all His ways yielding to His grace.
I will seek Him and know Him.
Pressing on to know the Lord . . . until I see Him face to face.

The intelligence of men just doesn’t matter.
As they analyze, their thoughts are sadly vain.
All their reasoning is so much empty chatter,
When the Lord’s the only Truth that will remain.

CHORUS

Reasoned dogma cannot test the True Foundation.
Jesus is the Truth and Doctrine I embrace.
All the ramblings of my interpretation,
I will disregard and I will seek His face.

We Christians too often forget to tune in to God

Since the ungodly thinker knows nothing, the ungodly thinker can’t rationally make any claims. If the ungodly thinker can’t rationally make any claims, it’s irrational for the ungodly thinker to claim no one can know anything. And yet, the ungodly thinker claims to know my inner experiences with Christ. The ungodly thinker ends up claiming to be all-knowing. I’ve had a few who claimed to be a god. Some claim to know God doesn’t exist, which is a claim to know all things.

Skepticism is an empty outlook. It’s a godless outlook. With such an outlook, there’s no rational reason for goodness, kindness, or love. Skeptics may gain personally from some sort of imitation goodness, kindness, or love. Skeptics may want to make themselves appear to be good people. It makes them feel good. Plus, it makes others trust them and like them, which is useful for their self-interest. What they do is self-serving.

By the way, this self-serving self-righteousness is a mental trap into which any of us could easily fall. Guard your heart. We, as Christians, spend far too much of our time in godless thinking. We forget to live in the presence of the Almighty God. We forget to tune in to God. We tune out far too often. We come into the spiritual realm, and we go back out. However, one day, you’ll go in and never come back out. God will cleanse you from your fleshly nature and form you into the likeness of Christ.

And make my life a song.

THE PATTERN OF DISCUSSIONS WITH UNGODLY THINKERS

I’ve patiently worked through this pattern of thinking with many godless thinkers. Doing that is time-consuming. It requires persistence and a respectful attitude. It takes active-listening skills and patience. After well over 100 conversations like this, a pattern developed. I could predict where the ungodly thinker would take the conversation. Here’s the pattern:

1. The ungodly thinker insists he or she is correct and the one who knows.
2. The ungodly thinker finally admits he or she knows nothing.
3. The ungodly thinker claims no one (and that always included me) can know anything.
4. The ungodly thinker claims Christ can’t reveal anything to anyone, which is a claim to know every human being’s inner spiritual experiences.
5. The ungodly thinker finds a way to justify making claims.
6. The ungodly thinker insists he or she is correct and is the one who knows.

This isn’t surprising when you understand something about the spiritual realm. Jesus Christ is the Light. He Lights every person. When someone rejects the Light, that righteousness, wisdom, and knowledge that flows from Christ, that person is turned over to their own fallen mind that’s subject to demon lies. Demons want nothing but to kill, injure, and destroy.

The Godless Outlook

Most godless thinkers don’t easily admit they can’t get knowledge. They have no path to knowledge. They end up with bare claims and smokescreen fallacies if you can get down to the root of their thinking. (That takes patience.)

 

Even those who teach postmodernism deny that they can’t get knowledge. Keep in mind that postmodernism is the belief that no one can attain knowledge. They teach that, and they still end up on both sides of the argument. They claim no one can know anything. Then they make a special case for themselves. You can’t blame them for using a double-standard. After all, how can they argue for postmodernism if they admit they don’t know anything?

 

Some of them will finally admit, after much discussion, they can’t know anything. Then, they claim to know all things by claiming to know Jesus Christ can’t reveal reality to you. Worse than that is what they usually do next. The next move they usually make is to reverse themselves and find some way to justify their own thinking. They claim to be the right ones after claiming no right or wrong exists. And they claim you are in error after claiming no truth or error exist.

 

REALITY

 

Jesus is real. All wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. He is the Light Who gives light to every person. Not all will thank Him or give Him the glory. Many take the glory for themselves. All who sincerely seek Him find Him. He leads, teaches, and corrects all who follow Him. Those who listen to His voice and yield to His Spirit to the point that He can do His righteousness through them begin to mature in the Spirit. With maturity comes better and closer communication with Christ.

Jesus Has Come To His Body

Human pride and ego would like to find something worth keeping in the fallen carnal mind.

One astronaut says there’s no doubt the universe is full of life but that this life is so different from what you would expect that you can’t see it. Think about that reasoning.

The reason there is no evidence is you can’t see the evidence, so there is evidence, but you just can’t see it.

Premise: you can’t see the evidence for the supposed “life in the universe.”
Conclusion: The universe is full of life.

The fact that you can’t see the evidence proves the universe is full of life.

Fantastic!

A top evolutionist tells you evolution can be observed but not when it’s happening. The premise is you can’t observe evolution while it’s happening. The conclusion is you can observe evolution.

Premise: You can’t observe evolution while it’s happening.

Conclusion: You can observe evolution, just not when it’s happening.

The fact that you can’t observe evolution while it’s happening proves you can observe evolution happening when it’s not happening.

Really?

Another evolutionist tells you the problem with those who don’t believe in the stories of evolution is they lack imagination.

Premise: someone’s imagination.

Conclusion: the stories of molecules-to-humanity evolution happened.
Imagination proves that evolution happened.

Oh?

These examples are real. Real people said those things. You need true premises, and the premises must prove the conclusion. Without truth, sanity disappears.

Only in the Living Christ is truth. He is the truth. All wisdom and knowledge is hidden in Him. Human pride and ego would like to find something worth keeping in the fallen carnal mind. There is nothing of value there. It must be converted or transfigured into Christ from glory to glory by listening to Christ’s leading, choosing Christ’s leading, and allowing the Spirit of Christ to do His righteousness through you by His grace. Each choice is a single step into the Kingdom of God and all the authority and power that comes with being a mature son of God.

JESUS DIED AND ROSE AGAIN

Jesus died and rose again.
If you will receive it,
He will set you free from sin,
So, by faith, believe it.

Jesus paid the price for you.
If you will receive it,
What was lost will be made new,
So, by faith, believe it.

Bob and Kathy Stenson, Freeware. Use it freely.

Jesus Died And Rose Again

Yes. He will set you free from sin in four ways.

First, He covers your past sins by His blood. He paid your debt.
Second, if you sin again, confess your sin to Him, and He forgives it.

Third, the fleshly nature that is in you is temporary and dying away. That is not who you are. You are a ministry and you have a ministry. You’re ministry is Christ in you, the hope of glory. That part of your spirit and mind that has been transformed into Christ who you are. He is your identity, not the sinful flesh. If your flesh trips you up, you are not your flesh. You are the Christ in you. Christ in you cannot sin.

Fourth, each time you are tempted by being drawn away from Christ by your own sinful carnal mind, Christ in you also rises up to lead you in righteousness. This is a war. It is a conflict or fight. Only you can control your will. When you turn your will to listen to Christ in you, faith comes by hearing the Word. Christ is the Word. Christ, that Word of leading, authors faith in your heart. Faith gives you access to the power of God’s grace, and God’s grace does God’s righteousness through you instead of obeying the fallen carnal mind. This is victory over sin in little steps. With each step, it’s the parable of the Sower. The Seed is the Word. Christ is the Word. That Seed, Christ, in you is built up. The carnal is diminished and less influence. More than that happens in this process, but you have taken a step. You are more fully conformed to Christ than you were a moment ago. And you have been set free from sin to a level you never were before.

Humility is realizing all we have to bring is submission: hearing God’s leading and yielding to His Spirit.

Humility

Humility is realizing all we have to bring is submission: hearing God’s leading and yielding to His Spirit.

Intellect, effort, works, etc. are futile efforts of pride.

Add one interpretation or self-effort to anything God gives and it’s distorted.

One Christian told me, “God gave us intelligent minds and we need to use them.” That sounds good, but it’s not how the Bible speaks of the human mind. When we are born again, our spirits are joined to the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is there to lead from that time going forward. We aren’t called to figure things out and lean on our own understanding but rather to listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Even when reading the Bible, the Holy Spirit speaks to us and gives us the interpretation. When we come in with our own understanding, we don’t really see Scripture as God intended it.

2 Corinthians 3:14–16 (KJV)
“But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. Nevertheless, when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.”

The veil is the fleshly mind, the soul under the influence of the flesh. It acts as a veil to distort every aspect of life, even Scripture. But when we turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV)
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Allow Him to direct your paths.

Jeremiah 17:9-10 (KJV)
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart…”

The human mind cannot be trusted.

Matthew 15:19 (KJV)
“For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.”

The world and demonic powers have planted their seeds in the minds of every person. They have built strongholds in your mind that are difficult to overcome. Those strongholds become so much a part of you that they seem to be more real than reality itself, but they are lies on top of lies.

Romans 12:2 (KJV)
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Once we are born again, we begin to listen to the Holy Spirit. We shouldn’t add to His words or diminish any of His words. And we need to allow Him to lead us and do His works through us. That’s how He transforms (transfigures) our minds.

Romans 8:6-7 (KJV)
“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God…”

At every moment, our carnal mind is giving us advice and trying to influence us. Often, evil spirits are also involved. However, if you have been born again, the Spirit of Christ lives in you, and He also speaks to you. When you are tempted by your carnal mind, the Holy Spirit shows you the way to escape.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (KJV)
“(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”

The Holy Spirit has given us weapons. The words He speaks to us are our sword to pull down the strongholds (preconceived ideas, bitterness, emotional triggers, theologies, imaginations, habits, and disorders) the enemy has built in our minds.

Philippians 2:5 (KJV)
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus…”

This is a new mind. When you are born again, you receive the Seed. That Seed is the Living Word, Jesus Christ. He is holy and cannot sin, and He lives in you. As you listen to His voice and yield to His Spirit to the point the He does His works through you, that Seed, Christ, in you becomes greater and the old carnal nature gets weaker.

Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

This is your most important work. Do not submit yourself to the ideas of the world. Yield your mind to God.

Ezekiel 36:26 (KJV)
“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you…”

God intends to transform your heart as you listen to His voice and walk in submission to Him. This is what it means to walk in the Spirit. You walk a step at a time. God leads. God’s faith comes by hearing God’s Word. God’s Word (Jesus Christ) authors God’s faith in you. You believe. God’s faith gives you access to God’s grace. God’s grace does God’s works through you as you yield. The Seed (Jesus Christ) is planted deep in your heart, and you continue to be transformed from glory to glory with each step.

Hebrews 10:39 (KJV)
“But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.”
1 Peter 1:9 (KJV)
“Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.”

God has saved your spirit, and He will be faithful to complete the work by saving your soul, your mind, your heart. He is bringing life to your soul each time you listen and yield to Him, when you are led by the Spirit. But don’t try to be double-minded, depending on the Holy Spirit plus your own intellect. That won’t work. You have nothing you can add to God’s revelation, though your pride may want to add to what God says.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus…”

This is a new mind. When you are born again, you receive the Seed. That Seed is the Living Word, Jesus Christ. He is holy and cannot sin, and He lives in you. As you listen to His voice and yield to His Spirit to the point the He does His works through you, that Seed, Christ, in you becomes greater and the old carnal nature gets weaker.

Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

This is your most important work. Do not submit yourself to the ideas of the world. Yield your mind to God.

Ezekiel 36:26 (KJV)
“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you…”

God intends to transform your heart as you listen to His voice and walk in submission to Him. This is what it means to walk in the Spirit. You walk a step at a time. God leads. God’s faith comes by hearing God’s Word. God’s Word (Jesus Christ) authors God’s faith in you. You believe. God’s faith gives you access to God’s grace. God’s grace does God’s works through you as you yield. The Seed (Jesus Christ) is planted deep in your heart, and you continue to be transformed from glory to glory with each step.

Hebrews 10:39 (KJV)
“But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.”
1 Peter 1:9 (KJV)
“Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.”

God has saved your spirit, and He will be faithful to complete the work by saving your soul, your mind, your heart. He is bringing life to your soul each time you listen and yield to Him, when you are led by the Spirit. But don’t try to be double-minded, depending on the Holy Spirit plus your own intellect. That won’t work. You have nothing you can add to God’s revelation, though your pride may want to add to what God says.

IT’S YOU LORD WHO WORKS YOUR WORKS IN ME

The work You did for me on Calvary, (Col 1:29)
It is enough to fully guarantee,
That from sin, I’ll wholly be set free.
It’s You Lord Who works Your works in me.

You have conquered animosity, (Heb. 2:14)
When You bore my sins upon the tree.
You’ve forgiven each atrocity.
It’s You Lord Who works Your works in me.

In thankfulness, if I try to re-pay, (Isaiah 64:6)
If I bring works like filthy rags to Thee,
This is no gift, but if I yield to Thee,
Then, it’s You, Lord, Who works Your works in me.

Just as I am without one single plea, (Gal 3:3)
That’s how I must come and submit to Thee,
And to your faith and hope and love so free,
Which is You, Lord, Who works Your works in me.

My own works could never set me free. (Titus 3:5)
Flesh of mine has no capacity,
To please You, God, or end captivity.
It’s You Lord Who works Your works in me.

It’s not based on my ability. (Heb. 12:12)
It isn’t judged on much activity,
But each work that starts and ends with Thee.
Is You Lord Who works Your works in me.

Not my own faith, but that which flows from Thee, (Romans 3:3)
My own hope is dissatisfactory,
Not my own love. but Your own charity,
Is You Lord Who works Your works in me.

By Your Spirit You have set me free, (Romans 8:2)
From all sin so I can always be,
Pure and good and manifesting Thee,
It’s You, Lord Who works Your works in me.

All that’s good and perfect comes from Thee. (James 1:17)
You abide as light inside of me.
Take away my flesh so totally,
That it’s You Lord Who works Your works in me.

Bring each thought into conformity. (Romans 12:2)
Bring each action into harmony.
Let your Spirit all my portion be,
Then You, Lord, will work Your works in me.

Just by yielding now, oh Lord, to Thee, (Matt. 5:48)
You will give me total victory.
No more sinning? Now, how can it be?
It’s You Lord Who works Your works in me.

Without the Lord controlling your process of logic, you add to or filter the data.

You need to turn to the Lord. Without the Lord in your process of logic, you add to the data, information, or evidence. On the other hand, you may filter out some data, information, or evidence. Filtering can give you a skewed view of reality. It’s a form of lying. This adding and filtering requires no effort. The deceitful and desperately wicked human mind does it automatically.

I’ve talked to many of these Christians who try to interpret Scripture through the veil of their fleshly minds. Some are willing to seek the mind of Christ. Some refuse to seek the mind of Christ. Some prefer the darkness of their fleshly minds.

Third, there’s the problem of the data, information, and evidence. Can you examine the source of the data, information, or evidence? Where do you get it? Do you look at websites you trust and blindly trust what’s written there? Should you recklessly trust government agencies? Should you uncritically trust what comes from employees of universities? Would it make sense to unquestioningly trust the word of scientists? Should you obediently trust “news” organizations or “fact-checkers?”

These persuaders tell you to fall in line. You’re supposed to kneel to them in submission. Even some social media organizations threaten you and censor you if you say anything that conflicts with their message-control system. If you think these sources are pure, you’re fooling yourself. Much of what persuaders call “data” is fake. Persuaders use false “information” and “evidence.” Much of what persuaders call “science” has no basis in observations. You seldom can examine the actual source of the “data,” “information,” or “evidence.” You don’t know what has been distorted, discarded, or ignored.

In Internet discussion groups, you can see logical errors and irrational thinking. However, this problem goes beyond Internet discussion groups. It’s epidemic in classes, lectures, news programs, books, videos, informal conversations, peer pressure, and every other form of communication. You’ll see it among intellectuals, experts, professors, pundits, and almost everywhere. You also find it among your friends and family members. Irrational thinking is not the exception. Rational thinking is rare.
