To desire to be like Jesus means that the world, the flesh and the devil, must be put to the spiritual sword. Only Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the only begotten Son of God, must be our goal and guide in life. No one can ever be like Jesus unless they repent of their sins and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. They must be a born again child of God, their Father, through the shed blood of the Lord, on the Cross of Calvary. Only those who truly aspire to walk in God's ways, as revealed in God's word, the Holy Bible, can ever become like Jesus.

Without any shadow of doubt by far the greatest person who has ever lived on earth, is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, God the Father's only Son. He alone created all the stars and planets and all the natural creation upon earth. This includes all land and oceans and all animals, birds and fish. His greatest creation was and is the creation of every human baby that has ever been born. He has guided mankind through His great inventions and above all shown His great love for all people. This He did by redeeming them from their fallen state and giving them the opportunity of eternal life in heaven.

Every human being begins life after contraception in the mother's womb. After about or just before nine months everyone enters this world corrupted by sin and Satan's lies and deceitful ways. The only sinless being who lived His life on earth, was Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Adam and Eve, the first created beings, were also perfect and god like, in the beginning. Adam was given his authority, as ruler of this earth, by God. However, in the Garden of Eden, Satan deceived Eve into eating fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which was in the centre of the Garden. God had allowed them to eat fruit from every other tree, but not this one. Adam also ate of the fruit. Immediately, their inner being or spirit, became corrupted. They disobeyed God so sin then entered the world through them. They had inherited a sin nature and its effects spread abroad throughout all of God's perfect creation

Sometimes we find ourselves in a literal dark place in life. At night we sometimes have to get up when all outside and inside is dark with little or no light. It is important not to stumble or fall. The world we live in is full of darkness and often hard to find the right way to go. There appears to be no light switch to lighten our way and show us what is the right thing to do. An electrical switch will make little or no difference to our pathway in life. However, there is a great light that can change our circumstances forever. This switch is available to us through the light of God's ways as revealed through His word, the Holy Bible. This knowledge is revealed by the Holy Spirit and brings the light to our spirit, our inner person.

In order to maintain a vibrant life channel with God, all Christians must spend quality time, in prayer. It is the very oxygen, our real life blood and connection with our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Prayer needs to be consistent and based on God's word, the Holy Bible. Prayer must be a daily practice. It must also be a two way meeting place where we pray to God and our spirit hears from God. To be really effective, every Christian must be obedient and put into practice that which the Holy Spirit directs them to do. A true prayer channel must have the willingness of the participant to bring every plan or need before God's throne.

To be seated is to be ready, not to be anxious, but also to be prepared and to know and to be confident that you are in the right place, at the right time. Christians have their total confidence in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Right now and into the eternal future, their peace is secure. They are not worried or concerned by the strife occurring in the darkness in the world around them. God's children have escaped the snares of the flesh, the world and the devil. Their lives are full of God's transcending peace. They desire to do God's will and purposes and nothing else.

To follow someone means that you accept what they stand for and who they are and you are willing to put it into action. You desire to be like them and put into daily practice what they believe and what they do. They and their way of living becomes the role model for your life. In every day life there are people who are often leaders in their field of endeavour who become role models of society. Often they are considered people worthy enough to be imitated for their integrity and performance. For all born again blood bought Christians our role model must always be Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We learn to become disciples and follow Him and His word, the Holy Bible.

The greatest kingdom is the kingdom of God. The place where God desires to share all His goodness with His people. Those who are obedient to carry out His will and purposes are those who are already members of His Kingdom. They are repentant, forgiven, blood bought children filled with the Spirit of God. These people desire to follow the Lord and do what He has commanded for their lives, day by day. Already they are carrying out and fulfilling, in Christs name, the truth and goodness of the will of God. These people have already become citizens of the kingdom of God.

Mankind is a tripartite being composed of a spirit, soul and a body. His spirit is the only part of his being that can be recreated, after repentance of sins and acknowledgement of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. They thereby become capable of communicating with God, through the Holy Spirit. The soul of a person consists of their mind for thinking, their emotions for expressing their feelings and their will for decision making, and of course their body, their exterior house. Our will is the part of our soul that chooses and determines our pathway in life. It chooses what we will say and what we will do.

All born again, blood bought Christians, inherit, through the Holy Spirit, their recreated spirit, which is enabled to become, in Christ, more than a conqueror. We are well able to conquer the flesh, the world and the devil. This also includes the ability, of our spirit, to subdue bad thoughts, uncouth speech and harmful and violent actions. Our body, as well as our mind, our will and our emotions, need to become subservient to our recreated spirit. In order to do so our spirit must remain obedient to the Holy Spirit's revelation and knowledge that reveals the word of God, the Holy Bible. This needs to become a continual victorious practice. If you sometimes fail, repent and then keep on prevailing.

Our enemy, Satan, is always trying to convince God's children, that they are not good enough to really be children of Almighty God. This is done by planting false thoughts in their minds and bringing back situations concerning things that were wrong in the past. The good news is that Jesus has already paid the price for our sins and for everyone in the entire world. All who have repented of their sins have had their past iniquities washed away by the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus. The Holy Spirit then came to reside in their inner person or spirit and from that very moment, they became a child of God, by faith in Jesus, destined for eternal life and everlasting glory.

Satan is an inveterate liar and all he does is done in deception. All who do not worship Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour live in his kingdom of darkness. This kingdom is founded on lies and is full of his deceptive ways. Those who follow him, without consideration for God and His ways, remain in spiritual darkness. They are deceived into either believing that there is no hell and eternal punishment and if there is a heaven, they will get there on their own merits. This means believing whatever they like as long as it agrees with their unregenerate spirit. God's word has no relevance in their thinking or their way of life.

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the almighty Trinity of God. Who together as one Holy Being, rule the universe from the eternal heavenly throne. They are in charge of all the affairs of mankind that are currently placed in their hands. As well, all circumstances, are overseen by Him. This situation continues on for yet a little while until all people and beings are judged at the white throne judgement. On this occasion the devil and his demonic beings and all of mankind who reject God's grace and love and His forgiveness, will be eternally judged. Because the names of these people are not found written, in the Lamb's Book of eternal life, they will be sent to everlasting hell in the never ending, lake of fire.

Whatever you are believing for confess God's word over the required object or event that you desire. You must believe that what you say will come to pass. Make sure that when you say God's word over the situation, that it is what God desires for your life. When you know that it is God's will and purpose then earnestly confess His word over what you desire. As you keep on confessing God's word your faith level will rise to the point that you will know with certainty that what you are praying for, will come to pass. If you keep thinking and confessing bad things to happen, that's what you will get! It is important to always praise and thank God for His continual goodness towards you. When we trust in God and His word, we already know that it has come to pass, in the spiritual realm

Whoever desires to know the true path of life must live and walk according to the revelation knowledge of God. This knowledge of His precepts and commands can only be found in God's word, the Holy Bible. No wisdom or understanding given by mankind, alone, can reveal the path to everlasting life. Not only does God's word show you the path of eternal life but also how you are to live your life, on earth. To gain this most wonderful gift of eternal life we must first acknowledge Jesus Christ, as your personal Lord and Saviour. Then you must be willing to repent of your sins and seek His forgiveness. Always be willing to be obedient and walk in His ways.

Every person who has ever lived or is living now or will be born in the future was is and will be able to be redeemed. There are no exceptions to God's mercy and grace. You and everyone else is included in God's wonderful plan to reconcile His fallen creation to Himself. This has been made available through the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross, at Calvary, nearly two thousand years ago. This is an everlasting reconciliation for all who are willing to repent of their sins and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. These people have already or will become inheritors of His eternal life and blessings, for evermore.

Everyone who lives on planet earth has been created by God and have one of two possible eternal destinations. These two destinations are either heaven or hell. There is no in between . It is either one or the other. Heaven is full of goodness and eternal peace and hell is full of the devil's treachery and pain. Both places are the final destination of the real you – your eternal spirit. Your old body is only for your habitation upon earth. The choice of where you live forever, belongs to you. If you repent of your sins then you inherit eternal life, through Jesus Christ.

Christians lose out because they fail to keep their eyes on the Lord and His word, the Holy Bible. This means they fail to remain steadfast in their love for the Lord and their desire to obey his will and purposes for their life. It really matters to be obedient and diligent in intercessory prayer and in your daily learning, reading, meditating upon, confessing and applying God's word to all the situations you are involved in. Always find out what God requires and then obey and hold fast to all that the Lord desires you to do. Don't look at other people or situations but keep holding on to what ever the Lord has told your spirit to do, and do it His way, only.

Every Christian must learn to live and walk by faith. Where do Christians get their faith? All Christians can obtain and develop their faith by learning from God's word, the Holy Bible. This needs to be on a daily basis of reading, meditating upon, confessing and applying God's word to all their circumstances and situations. There is no other way to obtain and develop your faith except through God's word. No amount of overcoming situations as a result of life's battles will give you sustaining God like faith. Your faith must have a sincere, sound foundation. That foundation must always be God's word, alone.

In order to tell other people about the wonders of God's salvation, we must be willing to preach and teach God's word. Without teaching the word of God, the Holy Bible, you'll never get the major benefits that God intends you to have. The Lord's example is so practical and also so necessary. Jesus knew what was so important. It was to show people the reality of God's great mercy and demonstrate His almighty power. Many people of Israel, just as many people in our world today, were sick and weary of life. Jesus came to give them new hope and a new life.
