You read 1 Corinthians 1:30 and found that Jesus Christ is your wisdom. You found out wisdom consists of righteousness, holiness, and redemption. Now, you know how righteousness works. You see how it leads to holiness, and how you’re set free, or redeemed, from sin, death, and the power of the devil.

God leads, and you yield to His leading. As He leads and you yield, He transfigures you and produces holiness in you. Each time you yield to God it’s like one step on your journey. Each moment, God has a leading for your life, and you either listen and obey, or you resist Him.

I Commit To You, Lord

I commit to You, Lord; I commit to You.
Lord, help me, please help me commit it all to You.
I’ll have all Your fullness when You have all of mine.
Oh how I long to let Your fullness shine.
Flesh will cease to hinder when conformed to the Divine.
I’ll have all Your fullness when You have all of mine.

Christ Will Return

Some have gotten their eyes on the return of Christ, but forgot that He must first appear in His saints. God called you to shine like the Son.

Most Christians don’t realize the word “coming” in the Bible is “parousia” in the original Greek. Parousia is a compound word. It’s made out of two words. The first part means “alongside.” The other means “goods or property.” Christ is coming alongside His property. The word “parousia” doesn’t mean “return.” It means “abiding presence.”

When Christ returns, He will return for a bride without any spot or wrinkle.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water [water is a type of the Holy Spirit] through the word [utterance], and to present her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless. ~ Ephesians 5:25-27

He will return for a completely pure and unified body of Christ that walks in His orders by His leading and power.

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me [like Moses] from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. ~ Acts 3:19-22

Moses was referring to Christ when he said, “Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you.” And “heaven must receive Jesus until the restoration of all things.”

I Came Here For a Reason

I came here for a reason,
This is my time and season,
And on you I’m believing,
So let Christ move through you.

Remove all that does hinder,
Unto Christ now surrender,
Let no thought be deceiving,
I know I’ll be made new.

Let the Holy Spirit flow through you continually.

If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. ~ 1 Peter 4:11

Assumptions and worldviews can never move in the power of the Holy Spirit to do the works of God. You may say the right words, but they have no transforming power without the flow of the living Christ in them. You may do all the right things, but they will be dead works unless Christ does them through you. Remain under the Anointing. Let the Holy Spirit flow through you continually. When you speak as the oracles of God, you speak the living Christ. When you speak by the Holy Spirit and someone listens to you, they receive the Logos and Rhema of God. That’s how faith comes to them. The same is true of the work you do. Walk in the power and authority of God. It’s yours. Christ paid for it. You have no way to do anything of spiritual value in your own power.

I BEAR MY CROSS AND I KEEP PRESSING IN

The plans that Jesus has for us are good,
And He controls all things.
Whatever happens, I can see His Hand,
His work, accomplishing.

I bear my cross and I keep pressing in,
And long to be set free from sin,
With Jesus as my constant, faithful friend,
Right from the start and to the end.

Let patience have her total, perfect work.
Complete Your work in me.
The trumpet sounds and I can hear the call.
I long for liberty.

I bear my cross and I keep pressing in,
And long to be set free from sin,
With Jesus as my constant, faithful friend,
Right from the start and to the end.

The things we suffer as we live each day,
Aren’t worthy to compare.
To glory that the Lord creates in us,
The splendor He prepares.

I bear my cross and I keep pressing in,
And long to be set free from sin,
With Jesus as my constant, faithful friend,
Right from the start and to the end.

You stand in His presence. You enter into His presence with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. The fear, or deep respect, of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. There, in His presence, you listen to His voice. You become sensitive to His leading. When His faith comes, you yield yourself to His faith and allow Him to say His words and do His works through you as you yield the members of your bodies to His righteousness.

Christ doesn’t want you to base your thinking on assumptions, presuppositions, or your worldview. He wants you to know Him. He wants to speak to you through His creation, the ministries in each member, the Bible, spiritual gifts, and any other means of divine revelation He chooses to use. He wants you to acknowledge Him in all your ways. He tells you the Bible is His word, His utterance, without error. He explains the meaning of the Bible and His creation to you. He confirms the reality of His being. You don’t need assumptions.

If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. ~ 1 Peter 4:11

I AM REDEEMED!

I am redeemed!
I am saved!
I’m a child of the King!
I have left my past behind me,
For His blood has washed me clean.
So I am walking in the Spirit
Filled with Jesus through and through.
Old things have passed away, praise God!
Now all things are made new.

Christ wants a relationship with you. He doesn’t want you to try to reprogram your fleshly mind so you don’t have to stand in Christ’s presence anymore. Christ doesn’t want you depending on your own mind no matter how accurate your worldview might be. You can’t reform your fleshly nature anyway. The flesh must die. Christ wants to live in you and do His works through you. He wants a connection continually forever. He wants a meaningful relationship with you. Here’s how He talks about it:

For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns—broken cisterns that cannot hold water. ~ Jeremiah 2:13

You can’t store the Spirit of God, but you try to store it in your cisterns. Your cisterns are creeds, religious forms, or rituals. Your cisterns are theologies, credentials, buildings, or organizations. Your cisterns are worldviews, learned precepts, or preconceived ideas. You must let Him flow through you continually. Your God is a flowing stream. He will be a Fountain springing up within you if you yield to Him. He’ll provide your credentials in Christ. He’ll correct what you’ve learned or established as your worldview or theology. He’ll show you what came from Him and what came from some other source. He’ll direct every aspect of His church in gifts, ministries, operations, offices, and orders. Through Scripture, He’s already given you clues as to how He’ll do this.

Creeds and confessions can act as a firewall against heresy for those who don’t know Jesus Christ. The Bible does the same. Those who don’t listen to the voice of Christ don’t have Christ as a foundation. They may sing “On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand.” However, they stand on the creeds and confessions rather than Christ. They know about God. They don’t know God. That being said, the Holy Spirit can speak to you through the creeds and confessions just as He speaks through the Bible. You need to know Him. Knowing about Him isn’t enough. You need to cut off the influence of the ungodly.

I AM DEAD TO THE WORLD

I am dead to the world and the world is dead to me.
I am dead to the world and the world is dead to me.
I am dead to the world and the world is dead to me.
I walk in love and joy and peace–the Spirit sets me free.

I am dead to the world and the world is dead to me.
I am dead to the world and the world is dead to me.
I am dead to the world and the world is dead to me.
I’m crucified today with Christ, the cross has set me free.

I am dead to the world and the world is dead to me.
I am dead to the world and the world is dead to me.
I am dead to the world and the world is dead to me.
I meditate upon my gifts and on my ministry.

The ministry has nothing to do with the flesh. Your ministry is Christ in you working through you. In the Bible, a ministry is service or a person in service. Every member of Christ the body has and is a ministry.
Today, some people use the word “ministry” to mean a corporation or organization. That’s not the meaning in this song.

The Flowing Stream

When you pray for wisdom, God doesn’t give you a bucket of wisdom. Wisdom doesn’t work like that. Wisdom is a flowing stream. Wisdom is the Person of Jesus Christ streaming through us. The problem of the double mind becomes obvious when a Christian talks about something like the history in Genesis. When they talk about the Creation or the Flood, they might say something like the following:

Atheists and deists observe the same things we as Bible-believers observe. Here’s the difference. Atheists and deists hold worldviews different from ours. Their worldviews deny the validity and truth of Scripture. Our worldviews affirm the validity and truth of Scripture. We presuppose the Bible is God’s word. We presuppose the Bible is without error.
