Your Attitude Should Be That Of Christ Jesus


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!
