If
you have any encouragement from being united with Christ,
If
any comfort from His Love, If any fellowship with the Spirit,
If
any tenderness and compassion,
Then
make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same Love,
Being
one in spirit and purpose.
Do
nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit,
But
in humility consider others better than yourselves.
Each
of you should look not only to your interests,
But
also to the interests of others.
Your
attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who,
being in very nature God,
Did
not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
But
made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant,
Being
made in human likeness.
And
being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself
And
became obedient to death—even death on a cross!
Therefore
God exalted Him to the highest place
And
gave Him the Name that is above every name,
That
at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow,
And
every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord;
To
the Glory of God the Father.
Therefore,
my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--
Not
only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--
Continue
to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
For
it is God Who works in you to will and to act
According
to His good purpose.
Do
everything without complaining or arguing,
So
that you may become blameless and pure children of God
Without
fault
In
a crooked and depraved generation,
In
which you shine like stars in the universe
As
you hold out the WORD OF LIFE--
In
order that I may boast on The Day Of Christ
That
I did not run or labor for nothing.
But
even if I am being poured out like a drink offer
On the sacrifice and service coming from your Faith,
I
am glad and rejoice with all of you.
So
you too should be glad and rejoice with me. (Philippians 2:1-18)
Belonging
to Christ is a Super Natural state of being
Where
Christ lives in and through us.
We
have given up our lives in this world and received His LIFE.
If we
belong to Christ we will have His comfort and His fellowship
In the
Holy Spirit,
And we
are like-minded with those who also belong to Christ,
Because
we all have the mind of Christ; Being One in Spirit and Purpose,
There
is no division in the Spirit of Christ;
The
Father, Son and Spirit are ONE;
If we
belong to Christ we are ONE as the Father, Son and Spirit are ONE.
If
we have received Christ as Savior, Lord and Anointing,
We
are dead to this world, but alive to and in Christ,
Therefore,
there can be no selfish ambition or vain conceit
Coming
out of the things in this world; they mean nothing to us.
Each
one of us has been given ALL there is to have: God's Kingdom.
If
we truly possess God's Kingdom there is nothing more to have.
Christ
came to earth, giving up All His Glory in Heaven
Knowing
that the Father kept for Him what He could not lose;
He
is and was God INCARNATE; God in flesh.
He
humbled Himself and became obedient to death on a cross.
We
who belong to Christ must humble ourselves
And
be obedient to death to this world.
If
we do not die to this world we cannot belong to Christ.
Christ
said of His followers that they were no more of this world than He
was.
(John
17:14)
Are
you willing to give up the glory of this world that is temporary,
For
the Glory of the Kingdom of God and Heaven that is Eternal?
The
glory of this world is passing away and is almost gone.
(1
Corinthians 7:31)
There
is no hope for this world or in this world.
It
is hopeless, helpless and condemned apart from Faith in Christ Jesus.
(John
3:18-20)
Faith
in Christ is a NARROW Way that only a few find.
Faith
in Christ is obedience to Christ and His Word;
Receiving
Him and His Word as the Bread of LIFE.
We
live in a DEPRAVED GENERATION as did the apostle Paul.
Everything
is DEPARAVED apart from Christ and His Word.
This
world is DEPRAVED because it is ruled by Satan.
This
is what Christ saved us from; from being CONDEMNED with the world.
If
we belong to Christ we understand this reality.
I
pray that all who read this message understand this reality
And
are living in and for Christ.
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
