Over the last three weeks we have discussed living life from out of “Being of the Life”. In our efforts to do so…have you ever pondered what is the seemingly immovable obstacle in every believer’s life that prevents such effective change unto freedom and transformation in our lives? Certainly issues like unforgiveness, bitterness, judgments, vows, traumas, distorted beliefs, and such are true obstacles to change. We can walk ourselves through repenting, renouncing and asking for forgiveness…yet all too often they seem to fall short…there seems to be a greater obstacle…a boulder that prevents effectual change. What is it that…

  There is a being of the life (Jesus is the life) , and there is a living of life. Being of the Life speaks of identity. Living life speaks of doing…the fulfillment of living out the being of the Life. God has already imparted the being of the Life…however, the living life that the being of the Life is to manifest is dependent on our choices. We are purposed to live life out of our being of the life…rather than performing for acceptance and worth out of being of this world. In Galatians 2:20 we read that “I have…

  In John 14:6. we read He is… “the Life”. Life here is zoe meaning the principle of life to spirit and soul. This verse is not saying Jesus is alive…it is saying He is the Life. The life referred to here is spiritual life. Our personal spirit is of that Life. It is not the Life but is of it.

    Every person at some point considers the meaning…the purpose of life. Likely this is so true because at the root of our existence is the need for purpose, worth and identity. Actually these three are all inter-connected…one establishes the other. Our struggle to identify purpose is largely due to how the world measures what is important in life…possessions, position, family status, accomplishments and such. If you are under the belief that every individual gets to choose and establish their own purpose then you may well be at odds with God’s plan for your life. The ancients whom were…

  Valentine’s Day…the day of loving expressions being shared. Love may very well be one of God’s greatest mysteries. It escapes reasoning…challenges all those that enter in…at times pulls us to our limits…yet in its true form brings such joy and purpose into our life.   1 Cor 13:4-8 says it best…”Even if I dole out all that I have [to the poor in providing] food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or in order that I may glory, but have not love (God’s love in me), I gain nothing.  Love endures long and is patient and…
