40 Days Of Purpose!
Date: Wed, Sep 1, 2004
Subject: 40 Days Of Purpose!! Day #1 / It ALL Starts With God:
Colossians 1:16
The Word:
For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him (by His service, intervention) and in and for Him.
- Colossians 1:16
Let Us "Start at The Very Beginning," as Julie Andrews said in "The Sound Of Music."
IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned,) and created the heavens and the earth. [Heb. 11:3.]
- Genesis 1:1
Perhaps you feel or have felt "without form and an empty waste, and darkness is or was upon the face of the very deepest parts of your being," but The Holy Spirit Of The Living God IS Moving, (Hovering, Brooding) Over YOU Saying, "Let There Be Light, The Light Of Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection Life In The Name Of His One And Only Begotten Son!" God IS Good - Suitable, Pleasing - (ALL The Time) and In Jesus He Approves Of YOU, Separates YOU from the darkness, Translates YOU Into His Kingdom Of Light, Sanctifies, Sets YOU Aside For His Use And Glory, Justifies YOU (Just As If YOU Had NEVER sinned), Calls YOU Righteous and Puts YOU In A Right Standing (Personal) Relationship With Him.
TODAY IS "The Day Of Salvation," YOUR Day to enter into THE FULLNESS Of What God Has For YOU In Jesus' Holy And Precious Name! IN the beginning [before all time] was the Word [Christ], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. [Isa.9:6.] He was present originally with God.
All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. In HIm was Life and the Life was the Light of men. And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it - put it out, or has not absorbed it, has not appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it.
- John 1:1-5
Jesus says, "I AM The Beginning And The End, The First And The Last," so He needs To Be and MUST Be "Our ALL and In ALL!" Search us, O God and Experientially Know Our Hearts, Try Us And Experientially Know Our EVERY Thought. Is there a wicked way in you?
JESUS IS, WAS and should throughout ALL Eternity BE "The (ONLY) WAY" for us to (Truly) Live, Move and Have Our Being! If He is NOT, then we have sold ourselves short of ALL that He Has Prepared For us In Glory and right here on Earth for the brief time of our visitation. As non-Believers, we ALL had to change our way of thinking and make ourselves a different set of rules to exist in this present world of darkness, but as Bible Believing Christians, we MUST Follow Our Owners Manual (The E-Man-U-EL), His Spoken, Written AND Living Word! He has given us EVERYTHING (ALL Things were Created In, Of, By and For Him) that we need to Live our Life Unto Him In Christ Jesus.
It's ALL about Him and NOT you or me, so how can we "re-mind" (Be Ye Transformed By The Re-Newing Of Your Mind In Christ Jesus, Washed By The [Living] Water AND "The Word") our "self" that Living (REAL LIFE) Is For God and NOT my "self?"
[Now] He is the exact likeness of the unseen God - the visible representation of the invisible; He is the First-born - of all creation.
- Colossians 1:15
The Father, Our Father Who Art In Heaven has drawn us to Himself, transferred us Into The Kingdom Of "The Son Of His Love" out of the control of the dominion of darkness. We have been Redeemed By The Blood Of The Lamb Of God, Who Takes AWay The sins of the World, [which means] the forgiveness of our sins, so should we not ALL DAILY Look Unto Him through Prayer, Praise, Prophecy, Promises, Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs, as The Author, Creator and Finisher Of Our Faith In Christ Jesus? He existed before ALL things and In Him ALL things consist - cohere, are held together. [Prov. 8:22-23.] He's "The Head Of The Church, [His] Body," so that He ALONE In EVERYTHING and In EVERY Respect Might Occupy The Chief Place (That Space In Your Heart, Mind, Soul, Spirit And Strength) - Stand First And Be Pre-Eminent. The Sum Total Of The Divine Perfection, Powers And Attributes Dwells In Him PERMANENTLY, so should He not Be Our Chief Focus, Goal and Purpose? And God PURPOSED that through - by the service, the intervention of - Him (the Son) ALL things should Be COMPLETELY Reconciled (He Has Given Us ALL "The Ministry Of Reconciliation) back to Himself, whether on Earth or in Heaven, as through Him [the Father] made Peace By Means Of The Blood Of His Cross.
- Colossians 1:20
REAL LIFE Is (There Is [Wonder Working] POWER) In The Blood Of Jesus! By His Stripes YOU and I "ARE" Healed, Whole, Fulfilled and ETERNALLY Blessed. He Presents us Holy, Faultless and Irreproachable In His [The Father's] Presence (In Front Of ALL His Creation) and He Will Provide ALL Of Our Needs According To His Riches In Glory, so Continue To Stay With, In The Faith Of Christ, Well-Grounded, Settled, Steadfast and Rejoicing As Divine Stewards Which "ARE" Entrusted To "MAKE" The Word Of God FULLY Known To ALL Nations And Peoples! Preach, Teach, Heal, Proclaim, Warn And Admonish EVERY ONE In ALL Wisdom, Knowledge And Understanding. THIS IS Our "Purpose" In Jesus' Name. Amen And Amen. God Bless and Love to ALL,

Subject: 40 Days of Purpose! Day #2 - You Are Not An Accident / Isaiah
44:2
The Word:
Thus says the Lord Who made you and formed you from the womb, Who will help you: Fear not, O Jacob My servant, and you Jeshurun - the up-right one [applied to Israel as type of the Messiah] - whom I have chosen.
- Isaiah 44:2
What is "The Greatest Commandment?"
Jesus says, "Hear..." That's right, "Hear, O Israel, The Lord, Our God, The Lord IS One!" The Nation Of Israel was (and IS) Chosen of God, ALL Nations and Peoples ARE and SO ARE YOU!
God Wishes That NONE Would Perish, but that ALL Would Come To Repentance In Jesus' Holy And Precious Name. He Longs to "Pour His Living Water" Upon ALL who are thirsty and "Open Up The Flood Gates Of Heaven" Upon the dry and weary lands. He HAS "Poured Out His Holy Spirit" Upon ALL Flesh and wants to "Pout Out His Blessing" Upon ALL your descendants, but not ALL will receive His Goodness, Grace, Favor, Tender-Mercies or Loving-Kindness.
[John 7:37-39; Isa. 35:6, 7; 44:3.] Are YOU "Springing Up Among The Grass, As Willows Or Poplars By The Water Courses?" [Isa. 44:4.] THIS IS HIS PERFECT AND ACCEPTABLE PLAN AND PURPOSE FOR YOU! NOTHING in your Life is by chance!! We MUST Make God "The Reference Point, The Key Point" For Our Life.
For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn every one among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought
- not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance; but to rate his ability with sober judgement, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him.
- Romans 12:3
Although we do NOT ALL have the same function or use "In The Body Of Christ," as individual parts, we DO Have Mutual Dependence On One Another, because we ARE "One In The Holy Spirit AND One In The Lord Jesus!" EVERY Single Gift and Talent was GIVEN to us "To Serve Him AND One Another" With Zeal, Singleness Of Mind, Acts Of Mercy, Genuine Cheerfulness, Earnest Endeavor, Joyful Eagerness, Aglow and Burning With His Spirit Of LOVE.
Rejoice and exult in hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer.
- Romans 12:12
THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU!
What area of your personality, background or physical appearance are you struggling to accept? God ALREADY ACCEPTS YOU In Christ Jesus! Your sins have been washed aWay by The Precious Blood Of The Lamb." I want (more than anything) for you to Know and Understand that your ENTIRE Life has been REDEEMED (mentally, physically, Spiritually, emotionally, financially, sexually, COMPLETELY), Past, Present AND Future! ANYTHING you face Today or tomorrow can ONLY come Your Way if and when God ALLOWS it to. No weapon formed against you shall prosper and He Will NEVER Give you more than you can bear!
Jesus died upon The Cross Of Calvary (in your stead) for EVERY single thought, word or deed that was (is and is to come) in direct violation, contrary or contradictory to Him and cried out, "IT IS FINISHED," so come on Home to The Father, come on Home to The Son, come on Home the battle's over, Christ Has Won and "The Victory" IS Ours In Jesus' Name. Amen and Amen.
God Bless and Love to ALL,

Subject: (Day #3) 40 Days of Purpose / What Drives Your Life? John 14:6
The Word:
Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.
- John 14:6
WOW! I NEVER viewed Jesus as "The Bully" type, but putting other words in His Mouth might sound like this, You'll Have To Come By (Get Through) Me FIRST (in order to get to My Father Who Art In Heaven)! Is this like, Over My Dead Body? Without Him as "The Way," there is no going, as "The Truth," there is no knowing and without Him as "The Life," there is no win, place or showing. Apart from Him, we can do NOTHING! Has Jesus said these same exact words unto you? Has The Father revealed (Given you The Revelation Of Jesus Christ as Messiah, The Anointed One) to you, HIs Way, His Truth and His Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection Life In Jesus' Holy and Precious Name? He ALONE IS "The Door (WAY), The Gate" by which we MUST (enter Into, go through and) BE SAVED! Let's face it, there isn't a person on the planet (who has ever heard even a sliver of The Gospel Message, The Good News) who does not think that Thomas (One Of The CHOSEN Twelve) was a doubter and who is this statement directed to, but him.
Him yes, but DEFINITELY NOT him alone. EVERY One at some point or another has doubted The Things Of God (EVEN) The Word Of God! THIS IS God's Purpose for YOU: To Be Driven, Moved Along By His Holy Spirit, From Glory To Glory, Grace To Grace, Image To Image, Shining EVER Brighter Until The FULL Light Of Day (The Day Of Our Lord Jesus). THE Zeal for (and of) His House should be consuming you, burning you up, setting you ablaze (like a candle, a torch, a bonfire), so that your Light, His Light Of Life is shining In and Through you, (EVER) Brighter in this present World of darkness. Arise and Shine for your Light Has Come and The Glory Of The Lord IS Risen Upon YOU! Do you REALLY Know Him? Have you REALLY Learned to Recognize Him, HIs Perfect and Acceptable Word, Will and Way? I want to know and He Wants you and me To (Experientially) Know "The Father" In Each and EVERY Way, through ALL circumstances in our LIFE, to recognize, SEE Him (In Spirit and Truth), His Hand at work in, upon, through and around us for ALL The Days of Our Life In Christ Jesus! To ask a "King James" question, "Knowest Thou THESE Things?
In the past, God spoke to and through Moses, but the veil has been lifted and though we see through a glass darkly, dimly, we can Understand With "The Mind Of Christ," Touch The Hem Of His Garment, Feel The Lord's Presence, Love With The Love Of The Lord, Give as He Has Given FREELY Unto us, Taste and See That The Lord IS Good (ALL The Time)!
Living On Purpose IS The Path To TRUE Peace / Shalom, Wholeness, Fullness, Blessings, Love and Understanding.
What is the driving force in your Life and what do you want it to be? I observed that the basic motive for success is the driving force of envy and jealousy!
- Ecclesiastes 4:4
LOOK and SEE what your basic motives are (God Does) in this Life and for The Life To Come. What motivates you? Do you want to succeed? True SUCCESS comes in and through OBEDIENCE to God's Word! What Drives YOU? As Christians, He Is Our Defense and we shall NOT be moved, unless we are moved upon by His Holy Spirit, Living, Having His Being In and Through us. BE DRIVEN and May His Force (ALL The Power Of HIs Holy Spirit) Be With YOU ALWAYS (EVEN Unto The End Of The Ages). Envy, strife, gossip, back-biting, discord and jealousy can only lead to one result, a LOUSY One :( Guilt, resentment, anger, fear, materialism and the need for approval will only do the same for you and others. Don't let the past control your future. If you hold onto past hurts, you'll NEVER get over them. Jesus overcame the World and By His Power we can too!
When you find yourself to be H-ungry, A-ngry, L-onely or T-ired... HALT! Hunger and Thirst After Righteousness, Be (righteously) angry, but sin NOT, get alone with God, for you are NEVER REALLY alone with, in Him and AlWays (In ALL Ways) Remember that in your weakness He Shows His Strength (Paul Gloried In That). If you walk in fear, you miss out on opportunities, because you are afraid to venture out. God IS The Ultimate Artist, so move against fear with Faith and Love (That Conquers ALL)!
Your clothing is NOT your person, who you REALLY ARE and your value is NOT determined by your valuables. REAL security ONLY exists in and for God. Do NOT allow other's expectations to control who you are or The Way you Live your Life. THIS IS A SURE way to fail and Jesus says, NO ONE CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS! Give TRUE Meaning To Your Life, Simplify, Focus ALL Of Your Attention On The Author And Finisher, Completer Of Your Faith, Motivate Your-"Self" and Prepare For ALL Of Eternity In Jesus' Name. Amen And Amen.
God Bless and Love to ALL,

Subject: (Day 4) 40 Days of Purpose!
Made To Last Forever / Ecclesiastes 3:11
The Word:
He has made everything beautiful in its time; He also has planted eternity in men's heart and mind [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun, but only God, can satisfy], yet so that man cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
- Ecclesiastes 3:11
What (EXACTLY) has God done from (IN) The Beginning (or to coin an old baseball saying: IN The Big-Inning) - To The End?
He has provided The Way out of this present World of darkness IN-to His Marvelous Kingdom Of Light! While we (YES, YOU & I) were yet sinners... He died for us (in our stead). We ARE His Workmanship, "Created" For (To Do) Good Works In Christ Jesus, which were "Created" for us (To Do) Before The Foundations Of The Earth Were Laid (IN The Beginning). He Calls us (ALL) to offer up our "self" as a Living Sacrifice (Of Praise), which is Our REASONABLE Service (WORSHIP)! Our Lives, though temporal on this Earth, but a breath, yet Eternal (IN The Spirit) are To Be Poured Out As A Drink Offering Before His Altar Of Love And Throne Of Grace And Mercy.
THIS IS YOUR PURPOSE, because YOU and I were "Made To Last Forever" and God Planted Eternity IN the human Heart.
I have a "Friend" [John 15:15; 1 Corinthians 15:58; Hebrews 6:10] who alWays (Pray Without Ceasing) Prays, "Lord, Stamp Eternity On Our Eyeballs!"
Life (HERE) on Earth (as we know it) is Just "The Pre-School" to our Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection Life IN Jesus! SURELY you have ALL heard some-One, at One time or another (including your-"self") say, "Life is hard," but Truly, Truly, I would say unto you, "Living is (sometimes VERY) hard, but Life (Jesus IS The Way, AND The Truth, AND THE LIFE [that I Am talking about HERE]) IS GOOD (God IS Good ALL The Time)!" We MUST bring ALL things into subjection Unto Him, because The Word Of God Says, As A Man (woman or child) Thinks, So IS He (or she). FOR we know that if the tent which is our earthly home is destroyed (dissolved), we have from God a building, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
- 2 Corinthians 5:1
TODAY'S BOUGHT: "The Tent" vs. "The House!" Death IS NOT "The End," It IS "The Beginning." Our #1 Goal IS (and AlWays should BE) To Work Towards Eternity. GOD IS BIGGER than ANY temptation or trial that you may face Today or in the future, so Live EACH and EVERY Day of your Life here on Earth as though it was your VERY Last (after ALL, we ARE Living In The Last Days). There IS MORE to Life than Just "The Here And NOW." TODAY IS "The Day Of Salvation," but we are continually supposed To Be GROWING (Day By Day), SHINING EVER BRIGHTER until The FULL Light Of Day! NEVER Be FULLY Satisfied with where you are at in your walk and relationship with God, In Christ Jesus. It is quite alright, ok to be content, but ONLY find your REAL SATISFACTION (Pay CLOSE ATTENTION Mick Jagger) IN GOD!
Since I was "Made To Last Forever," What Is The #1 Thing That I Should STOP Doing AND The #1 Thing That I Should START Doing RIGHT "Here and NOW?"
YOU & I (ALL Of God's Human Creations) "HAVE" A Divinely Implanted Sense Of A "PURPOSE" (In Our Heart) Working Through The Ages Which NOTHING Under The Sun, THE SON, But ONLY GOD CAN SATISFY, so let us ALL use our heart, mind, soul, Spirit and strength to accomplish and fulfill His Eternal Purposes, In Jesus' Name. Amen and Amen. God Bless and Love to ALL,

Subject: (Day 5) 40 Days Of Purpose!
Seeing Life From God's View / Romans 12:2 The Word:
Do not be conformed to this world - this age, fashioned after and adopted to its external, superficial customs. But be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind - by its new ideals and its new attitude - so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
- Romans 12:2
Tell me, What is my life without Your Love and tell me, Who Am I without You by my side?
- George Harrison
Bringing our EVERY single thought, Word and deed into submission, subjection to God's Perfect and Acceptable Will and Way, is an IMPOSSIBLE task, apart from His Holy Spirit Doing His Mighty Work In And Through us. The Lord's Brother, James asked, "Who can tame The Tongue?" Being (thoroughly) washed by "The (Living) Water & The Word" takes far more than "scrub a dub dub, three men in a tub." Our complete and total sanctification depends on, "Not By Might, Not By Power, But By My Spirit, Says The Lord!" ONLY through The Precious Blood Of Jesus, Shed Upon The Cross of Calvary, can we be "Truly Saved." THIS IS GOD'S PURPOSE & PLAN FOR YOU!
Yet you do not know [the least thing] about what may happen tomorrow. What is the nature of your life? You are [really] but a wisp of vapor - a puff of smoke, a mist - that is visible for a little while and then disappears [into thin air].
- James 4:14
The Word Of God Says, "As A Man Thinks, So Is He." So, What do YOU think of that? The Way you See Your Life, Shapes Your Life (ESPECIALLY) when you are following in "The Way" Of Christ!
YOU "Have" A Destiny and ALL of Life (as we know it in this present World of darkness) "Is A Test." God tests your Faith through problems, trials, tribulations, EVERY circumstance and situation that He ALLOWS to come your Way. NOTHING is by accident and ALL THINGS ARE Working TOGETHER For His AND Our ULTIMATE Good! How do you act when you can't feel God's Presence In Your Life? Will you come forth as gold and Hear Him Say, Well Done, Good AND Faithful Servant? He who is faithful in a very little [thing], is faithful also in much; and he who is dishonest and unjust in a very little [thing], is dishonest and unjust also in much.
- Luke 16:10
You may beg to differ with the opinion expressed in the above portion of Holy Script, but you'll have to take that up with God. God Is Faithful And Jesus NEVER Fails! His Word Is Faithful And True (CONSISTENTLY). Say these following words out loud:
"I Am A Child Of Destiny, That's Who I Am. I Am A Child Of Destiny, Bought By The Lamb And I Know Where I'm Going And I Know Whose I Am And That He Loves Me And Gave Himself For Me. I Am A Child Of Destiny."
REAL (Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection) LIFE Is A Test AND A Trust!
What has happened to you recently that you now realize was a test from God?
What are the greatest matters that God has entrusted to you? What is your life?
- James 4:14 NIV
Your Life Is Hid In Christ Jesus, so Go Out (To ALL Nations & Peoples), Seeing (With Your Spiritual Eyes Wide Opened) Life From God's (Heavenly) View and Accomplish The Work He Has Fashioned YOU To Do, According To HIs Holy AND Precious Word, Will AND Way, In Jesus' Name. Amen AND Amen. God Bless and Love to ALL,

Subject: Day 6) 40 Days Of Purpose! Life Is A Temporary Assignment / Ps.
39:3,4
The Word:
My heart was hot within me. While I was musing the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
Lord, make me to know my end, and [to appreciate] the measure of my days, what it is; let me know and realize how frail I am - how transient is my stay here.
- Psalm 39:3, 4
John Wesley, Founder of The Methodist Church, AlWays spoke of "The Burning Heart" and The Believers, on The Day Of Pentecost, saw burning flames, as tongues of fire, resting upon the heads of those who Prophesied "The Things Of God." Too many people in the World AND "In The Church" are warming themselves by the burning coals of fire, as Peter The Apostle of Christ did before Jesus' Crucifixion, but ALL of us need to draw closer to The One, Our God, Who Is A Consuming Fire, to Know Him MORE and allow Him to Make Known to us, our end.
Do you APPRECIATE "The Measure Of Faith" that He Has Bestowed On YOU? In realizing how frail we are, apart from Him, that our days are as short as hand-breadths, our meagerly existence, alone on this Earth at His Best is merely a breath, we walk to and fro like a shadow in a pantomime, in the valley of the shadow of death; in emptiness, turmoil; each heaping up riches that Will NOT Last, not knowing who will gather them up after us and this futile lifetime is as NOTHING In His Sight. And now, Lord, what do I wait for and expect? My hope and expectation are in You.
- Psalm 39:7
THIS IS GOD"S PLAN AND PURPOSE FOR YOU! They that wait upon The Lord shall renew their strength and mount up with wings as eagles to rise above this present World of darkness and accomplish His Perfect Will And Way.
JESUS Is Our Eternal Hope, The Hope Of Israel, The Hope Of The World AND The Anchor beyond The Veil that leads and guides us into The Holy Of Holies, before God's Throne Of Grace AND Mercy.
WHATEVER it is that you ask "In His Name" or have expectations of "In Him," He Will Do Exceedingly, Abundantly, Above AND Beyond. Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.
- 2 Corinthians 4:18
SO, Let us Look Unto JESUS, The Invisible God, Seated At The Right Hand Of Our Father Who Art In Heaven, Worship Him In The Holy Spirit, The Truth Of God's Precious Living Word and EXPERIENCE Everlasting (Deathless), Abundant, Resurrection, Eternal Life!
Your Identity (Who YOU REALLY ARE) Is In Eternity (The Invisible Things Of God) and NOT the here and now. Our Goal Is To Stand For His Truth and Honor, continuously and continually bringing Glory, Thanksgiving and Praise To "The Most High God," In Jesus' Name. Amen and Amen. God Bless and Love to ALL,

Subject: For God's Family! John 15:5; Ro. 12:5; Heb. 2:10; 1 John 3:1;
Eph. 1:5
The Word:
I am the Vine, you are the branches.
Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me - cut off from vital union with Me - you can do nothing.
- John 15:5
So we, numerous as we are, are one body in Christ, the Messiah, and individually we are parts one of another - mutually dependent on one another.
- Romans 12:5
For it was an act worthy [of God] and fitting [to the divine nature that] He, for Whose sake and by Whom all things have their existence, in bringing many sons into glory, should make the Pioneer of their salvation perfect [that is, should bring to maturity the human experience necessary for a perfect equipment for His office as High Priest], through suffering.
- Hebrews 2:10
SEE what [an incredible] quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, that we should [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are! The reason that the world does not know (recognize, acknowledge) us, is that it does not know (recognize, acknowledge) Him.
- 1 John 3:1
FORMED FOR GOD'S FAMILY
For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted [revealed] as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will - because it pleased Him and was His kind intent;
- Ephesians 1:5
OH, to Know "The Mind Of God," The Love Of God, His Perfect, Acceptable Will and Divine Purpose for Our Life In Christ Jesus. READ and Acknowledge the above Scriptures, Know and Understand with ALL of your Heart, Mind, Soul, Spirit and Strength that from Genesis to "The Revelation Of Jesus Christ," THIS IS GOD"S PURPOSE FOR YOU! You do NOT have to go to seminary or Bible college to "BE" Ordained Of God. Each and EVERY Member In The Body Of Christ (From Adam to TODAY and until Jesus Comes Again), His Church has been "Formed For God's Family," to fit perfectly in place, as Living Stones, built upon The Foundation Of Christ, The Solid Rock with The Twelve Apostles as Pillars, line upon line, precept upon precept, stone upon stone, until we come "TOGETHER" as One In Him, To "BE" His Glorious Temple! You "ARE" A Child Of DESTINY, bought, paid for by The Precious Blood Of The Lamb and He wants you to Know where you're going, that He Loves you and gave Himself for you. We "ARE" His Workmanship, Created In Christ Jesus to do Good Works In His Holy and Precious Name! It "PLEASES" God when we walk as Children Of The Light, Children Of The Most High God and Obey His Plan (as Revealed In The Holy Scriptures). Like pieces of an intricate jig-saw puzzle, we MUST find our place In Him, so that the FULL picture of His Glory, Honor and Praise Comes Together and the World becomes to see and know Jesus as Savior, Healer, Baptizer In The Holy Spirit and Coming King!
You Were Formed For God's Family. He "IS" Our Father Who Art In Heaven and as His Beloved Children, we are to Hallow His Holy Name. You "ARE" The Bride Of Christ and The Bride Groom "IS" Coming Again SOON, so we MUST Prepare Our"self" for The Wedding Feast, The Supper Of The Lamb. Those who do NOT get right will get left and be the main course at The Supper of God. How can we start treating other Believers like Members Of Our Own Family? Pray The Lord moves upon your heart to Love as He Loves, to See as He Sees, because the World Will Know that we "ARE" Christians By Our Love For Him and One Another. Do unto others as you would have them do unto YOU, In Jesus' Name.
Amen and Amen.

John 1:6
The Word:
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.
- 1 Corinthians 13:3
And what this love consists in is this, that we live and walk in accordance with and guided by His commandments - His orders, ordinances, precepts, teaching.
This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you continue to walk in love - guided by it and following it.

Subject: 40 Days Of Purpose! A Place To Belong / Ephesians 2:19; 1
Timothy 3:15
The Word:
Therefore you are no longer out-siders - exiles, migrants and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens; but you now share citizenship with the saints - God's own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself; and you belong to God's [own] household.
- Ephesians 2:19
If I am detained, you may know how people ought to conduct them-selves in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and stay - the prop and support - of the Truth.
- 1 Timothy 3:15
OK, Children Of The Most High God, It's Time For Us (As Citizens With The Saints In Heaven [We "ARE" Seated In Heavenly Places]) to learn how to get along (AND "Belong") To The Household Of God and SHARE! You are NOT on the outside looking in, exiled (excommunicated), a migrant or alien (even if you live in Roswell, NM), but you ARE Included AND "Have" The Rights Of A FULL Fledged Citizen In The Kingdom Of Light, to Know God's Purpose and Plans For YOU and They ARE For Good, His and Yours. We have been Bought With A Price, The Precious Blood Of Jesus, Redeemed, Saved, we are NOT our own, but God's Property, Consecrated, Separate, Set Aside, Sanctified, Set Apart as His Chosen People, In His Household and For Himself. Want to "Belong" to something BIGGER and Better than your-"self"?
YOU BELONG TO GOD!
Perhaps you feel left back, held back or detained in ALL that God has for you.
God's Perfect and Acceptable Plan and Purpose for your Life here on Earth is "A Work In Progress" until we enter ALL Eternity. Patience is a Virtue of which few (yes, even in The Church) have any!
Unfortunately, when we take even a quick glance at The Holy Scriptures, we can see (even if only through a glass darkly, dimly) that just One of The Fruits Of God's Holy Spirit In Our Life "IS" Patience! If a Worldly company can advertise, We Will Sell NO Wine Before It's Time, why is it that Christians Will NOT Wait Upon The Lord To Renew Their Strength AND "BE" Continually Overfilled By The Presence Of God's Holy Ghost? We "ARE" Of The Household Of God, so should we NOT act accordingly? If you In-Deed "ARE" FILLED With God's Holy Spirit Of "Grace, Goodness, Tender-Mercies, Kindness, Truth and POWER," WHERE IS THE LOVE? We're pulling out ALL the stops here, tearing down the pillars, stays, supports and props, "the works, rules and regulations of man" that have been TOO long in place, so that we CAN "Get Back To The Heart Of Worship," because It Is ALL About Him, ALL About Jesus, The VERY Foundation Of Our Faith, Hope and Trust, He "IS" The Chief Cornerstone AND The Capstone Of "The Living Temple Of God!" The Household Of God "IS" The Church Of Jesus Christ, His Body, His Bride and as "integral" parts, Living Stones, built One upon another, when we find Our Place In Him, according to God's Word, Will and Way, we find His Plan, we Enter Into The Door, The Sheep Gate and His Divine PURPOSE for Each and EVERY Believer, By Faith, since the Creation of Adam and Eve. Give your WHOLE "self" (110%) Unto The Lord and THEN, Unto One Another and you "Will" FULL-FILL His Purposes In Jesus' Name. Amen and Amen. God Bless and Love to ALL,

Experiencing Life Together / Col. 3:15; Ps. 133:1 The Word:
And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from the Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts - deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds - [in that peaceful state] to which [as members of Christ's] one body you were also called [to live].
And be thankful - appreciative, giving praise to God always.
- Colossians 3:15
BEHOLD, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
- Psalm 133:1
Who (reading this) wants their ENTIRE Life "To Be" Peace-FULL, Harmonic (In Heart, Mind and Soul), Thank-FULL, Appreciative, Good (God "IS" GOOD ALL The Time), Pleasant, TOGETHER In Unity (The Communion & Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit) and Continually Giving Praise, Glory and Honor (ALWAYS & IN ALL WAYS) To God? THIS IS GOD'S PLAN & PERFECT PURPOSE FOR "YOU!" We (Each and EVERY One Of us) "ARE" Called Of God "To Live" As MEMBERS Of Christ's One Body, yes, we "ARE" MANY Parts (each with it's own special gifts, talents and abilities), But There Is ONLY One Lord, One, God and One Spirit.
BEHOLD (Bless Ye The Lord), LOOK (FULL In His Wonder-FULL Face [Unto The Hills and]), SEE (where Your Help [Mate] Comes From), Fix your gaze Upon The Author and Finisher of Your Faith (for with-out It, Him there is NO Pleasing God), Set Your (Seek His) Face Like A Flint Towards "The NEW Jerusalem," Let The Zeal For His House CONSUME YOU, Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus and the things of this Earth Will Grow strangely dim In The Light Of His Glory, Goodness, Tender-Mercies, Loving-Kindness, Grace and Favor!
Brethren (Sisters In), we are Called to Dwell TOGETHER (as One) In The Unity (In The Community) Of His Holy Spirit, In and Among The Fellowship Of The Saints (we're talking "The Saints" Right Here and NOW on Planet Earth, NOT Heaven), The Church, The Temple Of The LIVING God, His (SPOTLESS) Bride and Ever-Present Body. Are you Thank-FULL "To Be" A (ACTIVE, FUNCTIONING) Member Of The Body Of Christ, With Jesus As Your Head & Covering? Do YOU "APPRECIATE" ALL that The Lord Has Done (AND CONTINUES TO DO) For YOU? SHOW IT!
Paul The Apostle Exhorts The Church To "REJOICE" In The Lord "ALWAYS" and Again (and Again) He Says, "REJOICE!"
Are we Giving "PRAISE" (Laud) To God In ALL Ways and In ALL Things? We should be, because God Says (and He Can NOT lie) that ALL Things "ARE" Working TOGETHER For Our Good.
Why? So that we CAN (and Will) Dwell TOGETHER (Now and For-EVER More) In His Perfect Unity. Know and Understand (if you get NOTHING else out of this writing, GET THIS) that God Makes "ALL Things" B-E-A-UTI-FULL In His Time, His Timing "IS" PERFECT (Jesus NEVER Ran Any-Where) and His Time Has Come, TODAY "IS" The Day Of Salvation / Yeshua, so let us ALL Come TOGETHER As One (ALL Nations & Peoples, EVERY-WHERE), In His Holy, Precious Word, Will and Way, In Jesus' Name.
Amen and Amen.

Subject: 40 Days Of Purpose! Restoring Broken Fellowship / 2 Corinthians
5:18
The Word:
But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself (received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself) and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation - that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him.
- 2 Corinthians 5:18
If you want to get involved in FULL TIME Ministry, "THIS IS GOD'S PURPOSE FOR YOU!" He has given each and every Christian on the face of planet Earth "The Ministry Of Reconciliation," so what "IS" YOUR Calling, but to bring ALL others Into "The Saving Knowledge Of Jesus Christ" By (His Perfect, Acceptable) Word and In Deed! Faith without Works "IS" DEAD (and we REALLY don't like "dead," do we). Through "LOVE," every Member of The Body Of Christ can bring this present World of darkness Into Perfect Harmony with God and His Marvelous Kingdom Of Light. THIS "IS" The Gift that He has Given, Bestowed Upon ALL inhabitants of this celestial ball, should they "CHOOSE" Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection "LIFE" In Jesus' Holy And Precious Name!
Some of us needed to be engrafted in Christ, Messiah, The Anointed One, others are of natural descent, but ALL of humankind "IS" in desperate need of Salvation By (The) Faith (Of Abraham), because of sin, our immoral and unspiritual condition that leads us to pass aWay and leaves NO HOPE for the future. God In Christ "RESTORED" us to Favor With God, not holding or counting up our trespasses against us, but "CANCELLING" them and casting them into His Sea Of Forgetfulness! Christ In YOU "IS" The Hope Of Glory, His Goodness, Tender-Mercies, Loving-Kindness and Grace, but NOW...
YOU are Commanded To Go Into ALL Nations And Peoples, To Preach, Teach and Heal, so that they can Come To Believe In Jesus, The Hope Of The World.
Through Him we Become Endued With Power From On High (By The Ministry Of The Holy Spirit, God's Spirit Of Grace), we are viewed as In and Examples Of "The Righteousness Of God" and we Become "What We Ought To Be," Approved and In Right Relationship With Him, By His Goodness (My Goodness, Says The Lord and God "IS" Good ALL Of The Time). SO... Let us "BE" Good-Fellows (and Fellas), Workers, Laborers, Helpers, TOGETHER As One In Him, Taking "The Love Of God" and "The Good News Of Jesus" to ALL. DO NOT Receive God's Grace, His Unmerited Favor In Vain, Empty Ways and DO NOT Receive "IT" To No Purpose! PRAY, Exert His Holy Influence On Souls and (U) TURN Them To Christ, Keep, Strengthen, Baptize and Disciple Them ALL In Jesus' Name. Amen and Amen.

Subject: You Were Created To Become Like Christ / Col. 1:15, 2:7; Romans
8:29;
Created To Become Like Christ
The Word:
[Now] He is the exact likeness of the unseen God - the visible representation of the invisible; He is the First-born - of all creation.
- Colossians 1:15
Have the roots [of your being] firmly and deeply planted [in Him] - fixed and founded in Him - being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving.
- Colossians 2:7
For those whom He foreknew - of whom He was aware and loved beforehand - He also destined from the beginning (foreordaining them) to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the first-born among many brethren.
- Romans 8:29
When you "Like" Some-One, you want, desire, strive, determine, work, Love, press-on and give (just about ANYTHING) to "Become" Like them. As Jesus "IS" On This Earth, The Word Of God Says, SO "ARE" WE! He rose from, came out of the grave on The Feast Of First-Fruits, which established and confirmed Him as "The First-Fruits From The Dead" and therefore, He "IS" The First-Born, God's One AND Only Begotten, but among MANY Brethren (that's you, me, ALL The Saints Of God that have come before us [from Adam & Eve, right up to TODAY] and ALL who Will Follow after us Into ALL Eternity!
EVERYTHING that Jesus did when He walked "This Holy Ground" (Called Earth), is what we ARE "Called Of God" To Do HERE & NOW, until Jesus Comes Again In ALL Of His Glory, Power AND Might. He says to us, "If you have seen Me, you have seen The Father," Our Father Who Art In Heaven, Hallowed Be His Holy & Precious Name! How much should we strive to use EVERY Gift, Talent, Ability & Fruit Of His Holy Spirit (Working Upon, In AND Through us) to bring Honor, Thanksgiving & Praise To Him? GOD'S PURPOSE "IS" FOR US TO BE IMITATORS OF CHRIST, TO BECOME LIKE HIM (Mentally, Physically, Spiritually, Emotionally, Financially, Sexually and COMPLETELY), LIKE-MINDED, which in this Present World of darkness does not necessarily alWays mean "Like-Able." In this World you WILL Have Tribulation, Trials and Turmoil, BUT "Be Of GOOD CHEER," cause Jesus Has Overcome the World, so we ARE Overcomers too, In His Name!
The Word Of God Tells us, "As A Man (Woman or Child) Thinks, So Is He (or, so ARE they)." THIS IS TRUTH and we MUST GRASP IT! We are To Be CONTINUALLY Being Transformed (Into His Image) and Translated (Into His Marvelous Kingdom Of Light) by the re-newing of our minds through the washing of His Living Streams Of Water AND The Word, but VERY unfortunately, too many CONFESSING Believers, Christians, Disciples, Followers Of Christ and Church Goers are NOT spending ANY time In The Word Of God on a REGULAR, DAILY BASIS At ALL! Lord, Have MERCY On Poor Sinners (and so-called Saints) Like us. YOU, YES, YOU Were CREATED (In The Image Of God - Body, Soul & Spirit) By God Himself To Come (Unto Him, ALL Who ARE Weary & Heavy Laden AND He Will Give YOU Rest, Peace, Wholeness, Fullness, Blessings, Shalom) To The Saving (Salvation / Yeshua) Knowledge (Wisdom & Understanding) Of Jesus Christ AND To Be Like Him (In EVERY Way, Shape & Form), So... "Be, Come, BECOME" and Bid EVERY One Else, From ALL Nations & Peoples, Tribes & Tongues to do The Same (Jesus Christ "IS" The Same, Yesterday, TODAY & Forever) By Faith In Jesus' Name. Amen & Amen.

How We Grow / Ephesians 4:14, 15
The Word:
So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching, and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the pray of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous (Literally, dice-playing) men, (gamblers engaged) in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth in all things - speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly.
Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him, Who is the Head, [even] Christ, Messiah, the Anointed One.
- Ephesians 4:14, 15
On a PURELY (Natural) Visual basis, The Body Of Christ appears to be dis-located and out of joint, but The Truth Of God's Holy And Precious Word "Reveals" To us that we "ARE" Whole and in ALL its various parts, closely joined, firmly knit together (formed in our mother's womb) by the joints and ligaments with which we "ARE" supplied. God Has Given us EVERYTHING that we need to Live Our
Life Completely and Totally Unto Him!
Our Job and Calling is to get EACH Part, EVERY Member of The Body Of Christ, His Church and Bride to WORK (out our Salvation with fear and trembling) PROPERLY (Decently and In Order, According To His Word, Will & Way) [with God's Holy Spirit Power adapted to Its needs] In ALL Its functions, Growing To FULL Maturity (In The FULL-ness and Stature Of The PERFECT Man, Christ Jesus), from vessel to vessel, Glory to Glory, Grace to Grace and Building Itself UP (Humble your "self" In His Sigh and He WILL Lift "YOU" UP) In (God's) LOVE!
We MUST NOT continue any longer in "The Things Of This Present World Of Darkness," perversness, folly, vanity, emptiness of their souls and the futility of their minds. Their moral understanding is darkened, their reasoning is clouded, they are alienated, estranged, "Self"-banished From The Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection Life Of God In Christ Jesus and with NO SHARE In It, because of the ignorance, the want of knowledge and perception, willful blindness that is deep-seated in them, spiritual apathy, callousness, past feeling, abandonment of themselves [as prey] to unbridled sensuality, eagerness and greediness to indulge in EVERY form of impurity that their depraved desires may suggest and demand, due to their hardness of heart (towards The Things Of God) and to the insensitiveness of their moral nature, but we (As Children Of The MOST High God) are No LONGER Of This World and MUST WALK IN "THE LIGHT!"
If Paul The Apostle said, "We ARE Living In THE LAST DAYS," then why are we walking around with our head in the clouds as if God's Word is NOT TRUE?
My Dear Sweet Brothers & Sisters In The Lord Jesus, WE ARE LIVING IN THE LAST HOURS, MINUTES & SECONDS AND JESUS IS COMING REALLY, REALLY SOON! It is TIME (TODAY Is "The Day Of Salvation) for us to WAKE UP & GROW UP, because ALL Nations & Peoples MUST (Experiencially) Know "The Saving Knowledge Of Jesus Christ as Savior, Healer, Baptizer In The Holy Spirit and Coming King!" This is NO JOKE or fairytale and EVERY ONE has their SOUL at stake, your Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers, Sons, Daughters, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Friends, Co-Workers, Neighbors and EVEN Your Enemies who are still walking in the darkness "MUST Be Saved" and It's ONLY By Faith In The Precious Blood Of Jesus.

Transformed By Truth / Matthew 4:4; Acts 20:32 The Word:
But He replied, It has been written, Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God. [Deut. 8:3.]
- Matthew 4:4
And now, brethren, I commit you to God - that is, I deposit you in His charge, entrusting you to His protection and care.
And I commend you to the Word of His grace - to the commands and counsels and promises of His unmerited favor. It is able to build you up and to give you [your rightful] inheritance among all God's set-apart ones - those consecrated, purified and transformed of soul.
- Acts 20:32
So far, THIS is DEFINITELY my most cherished chapter in Our 40 Days Of Purpose, because it's ALL about The Word Of God, It's ALL about Jesus (not that each and every topic has not been, but THIS brings EVERYTHING to the forefront). Why is it that far too many confessing Christians DO NOT read their Bibles and feed on their Daily Bread, The Bread Of Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection Life, yet they expect to get results? Obedience brings along God's Blessings and what you take in mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, financially, sexually and completely, will determine what you give out, so it's garbage in - garbage out, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks and you shall know a tree by it's fruit.
How's your fruit?
We have been committed to God through The Prayers Of Jesus and The Saints, but have we Truly made our own personal commitment to Him, made an investment In His Charge, Plan & Purpose for our Life or REALLY entrusted our "self" to Him, Into His Protection & Care? His Banner Over us Is Love, THIS Is His Standard and we MUST Heed His Call, so Onward Christian Soldiers! He Is Our Defense, we have His Holy Spirit Deposited In us, He's Our Hope Of Glory and we are Sealed Until The Day Of Redemption, but too many of us Do Not walk in this Blessed Assurance and many of us Do Not even know or understand who we ARE In Christ. It Is "The Word Of His Grace" (My Word Is Spirit & Truth), The Working Of His Holy Spirit (His Spirit Of Grace, Favor) that transforms, renews our minds, purifies our souls and consecrates, sanctifies, sets us aside as instruments and sets us apart for His Use, His Glory, so that we can BOLDLY Go Before His Throne Of Grace & Mercy and Rightfully take hold of Our Inheritance In The Kingdom!
God's Holy Commandments, ALL-Knowing Counsel and Precious Promises ARE YES & AMEN (So Be It) for us In Christ Jesus. His Spoken, Written & Living Word Is Able to Build YOU UP Into The Man, Woman or Child Of God That He Created YOU To Be. THIS IS THE TRUTH & PURPOSE FOR WHICH YOU & I WHERE CREATED and It's ALL in The Book, YOUR Bible, The Living, Moving and Active Word Of God! We Can NOT Live The (Spiritual) Life He Had Intended For us from the foundation of the World until we are upheld and sustained by The Bread Of Life Himself, Jesus Alone, One On One, In A Personal, Intimate Love Relationship. His EVERY Word (from Genesis To Revelation) Is Holy, Spirit, Grace, Favor, Truth, Breath, Sustenance For Our Souls, Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection Life and LOVE (God Is LOVE) That Comes Forth From The VERY MOUTH OF GOD! Should we not pay VERY close attention to what He has to say to us and ALL Nations & Peoples In Jesus' Name? Amen.

Transformed By Trouble / 2 Corinthians 4:17 The Word:
For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory - beyond all measure, excessively, surpassing all comparisons and calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!
- 2 Corinthians 4:14
When God's Word ends with an exclamation point, you have to Come To Know and TOTALLY Understand that He's trying VERY Hard to get His Ultimate Point Across to His Chosen Ones (that's you and me :) When we're "Leaning On The EVERLASTING Arms," we have SUCH Blessedness that our hearts are FILLED with JOY and THIS Vast, Transcendent Glory, Goodness, Tender-Mercy, Loving-Kindness and Favor Will NEVER Cease To Exist For us (In Jesus)! He Is ABLE To Do Exceedingly, Abundantly, Above & Beyond what you or I (even the WHOLE Corporate Body Of Christ) could ever conceive, pray, ask or seek. We Serve, Worship An AWESOME God! When we walk "In The Light," we come to That Place (we ARE Seated In Heavenly Places) where whatever comes our Way, we realize that God Is In Complete & Total Control, our Life is but a breath and in these fleeting moments of time, these "light" afflictions (Our God Is "The Father Of Lights") of ours (that He Allows to take place for His PURPOSES) are slight (in Light of Eternity) and "These Too Shall Pass." He Works ALL Things TOGETHER For His Good & Makes ALL Things B-E-A-UTIFUL In His Time and His Time Has Come, for TODAY Is The Day Of Salvation, so let us REJOICE and Be Glad In It, In Him. You and I as The Body Of Christ are Being Prepared, His Holy Spirit Is Producing In us EVERYTHING that we need To Live Our Life Unto Him and Achieve His EVERLASTING PURPOSES, so "Wait" Upon The Lord and deal, cope with these light afflictions, slight distresses and Allow Him To Achieve For us THIS "Weight" Of Glory!
None of us, No ONE (but God) could EVER measure His LOVE for us. It's deeper than the deepest of oceans, longer than the roads that each and every One of us, ALL The Saints have ever traveled, since the beginning of ALL time, wider than the gap that Jesus filled for us, so that we could Be Reconciled To God and higher than the highest of Heavens where God Himself Sits Enthroned. He Is King Of Kings and Lord Of ALL, NOTHING Can Compare To Him and No One could EVER surpass The GREATNESS Of His LOVE! ALL the calculations of mankind throughout the ages could NEVER add up, subtract, multiply or divide The Truth Of His VAST, TRANSCENDENT GLORY & BLESSEDNESS that will NEVER Cease for those of us who have been "Transformed By Trouble" and Have Come To Know (Experientially) The Love Of God In Jesus' Name. Amen & Amen.

Growing Through Temptation / James 1:12
The Word:
Blessed, happy, to be envied is the man who is is patient under trial and stands under temptation, for when he has stood the test and been approved he will receive [the victor's] crown of life which God has promised to those who love Him.
- James 1:12
NONE of us are EVER tempted by God, but by our own selfish ambitions, wants and needs, because The Word tells us, "He Himself tempts No One." We are led astray by our own evil desires, the lust of the eyes and the flesh, which is why Paul The Apostle said, I die to my"self" DAILY, beat my body into submission (God's Perfect And Acceptable Will Is For ALL Things To Come Into Submission, Under Subjection To Christ) and Job made a Covenant, a Commitment (with his eyes) that he would not look upon a woman (lustfully), so let Each and EVERY One of us set our face like a flint towards God's Plan & Purpose for us In Christ Jesus. The Bottom Line Question Of The Day, EVERY Day Is, "Do YOU LOVE Him?" It was Jesus Who said, "If YOU LOVE Me, YOU WILL OBEY (to OBEY Is BETTER Than Sacrifice) My Commandments." I can tell you this, Obedience AlWays costs you something, but the Blessings Of God Are Eternal!
Are you "Happy" with your present Walk & Relationship with God In Christ Jesus?
The Joy Of The Lord Is Our Strength, no matter how weak or ineffective you may think your Christian Witness is. The MOST POWERFUL thing we as Believers have to give is God's LOVE and In THAT, The World Will Know that we ARE REAL, Honest-To-Goodness Christians. Have you remained patient under trial?
Patience Is just One Of The Fruits Of God's Holy Spirit Living, Moving and Having His Being Upon, In and Working Through us (Work out Your Salvation with fear and trembling). Have you stood up under temptation? The Bible tells us that when we are tempted (for whatever reason and in whatever Way) that God AlWays Provides "The Way" OUT! It's YOUR CHOICE as to whether you will Choose to take it or not, but when we have done ALL that we can to stand, The Word Of God exhorts us "To Stand Therefore."
Jesus "Stood The Test (of ALL time)," cried out, "NOT My Will, but THINE Be Done" and was "Approved By God" on more than several occasions, but ULTIMATELY Conquered sin and death through His Life, death and RESURRECTION! Whatever challenges you are facing TODAY or whatever crisis (Crisis is an opportunity riding on a dangerous wind) may come in the future, we can overcome them By The Precious Blood Of The Lamb and The Testimony Of Our Faith In Him. He Is NOW Seated at The Right Hand Of God As "The Victor", because He laid down His Life for you and me, which is "The Greatest Love Of ALL" and Our Father Who Art In Heaven Crowned Him "The Lord Of Life." ALL Of God's Promises ARE Fulfilled In Him and By Faith we shall receive "The Victor's Crown Of (Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection) Life" In Jesus' Name. Amen and Amen.

Subject: (Day 27) Defeating Temptation / 2 Timothy 2:22; 1 Corinthians
10:13
The Word:
Shun youthful lusts and flee from them, and aim at and pursue righteousness - all that is virtuous and good, right living, conformity to the will of God in thought, word and deed. [And aim at and pursue] faith, love, [and] peace - which is harmony and concord with others - in fellowship with all [Christians], who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart.
- 2 Timothy 2:22
For no temptation - no trial regarded as enticing to sin [no matter how it comes or where it leads] - has over-taken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man - that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear.
But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out - the means of escape to a landing place - that you may be capable and strong and powerful patiently to bear up under it.
- 1 Corinthians 10:13
Be SURE to make a copy of these two Scriptures and this message for your"self" and forward them along to ALL that you know, because there is NOT One of us (No Not One) on the face of Planet Earth in this Lifetime that does not come up against some shape or form of "Temptation." How do we defeat, conquer, overcome or resist it? The Word Of God tells us that If (and when) We Resist "The Devil," He MUST Flee from us, but according to this Portion Of Holy Script, we (in turn) MUST Flee youthful lusts, the lust of the eyes, the flesh and whatever "this present World of darkness" has to offer us. ALL of us have sinned and fallen short of The Glory Of God and that is why Jesus had to come and die on our behalf, in our stead, upon The Cross Of Calvary. It is His Precious Blood (Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection "LIFE Is In The Blood") that cleanses us from ALL sin and un-righteousness. EVERY One of us has been shunned by some One at sometime or another and we ALL know what it is like to feel unwanted or rejected. As confessing Christians, we are Called of God to keep our"self" separate from the World, to lead Holy Lives and be set apart for His use, His PURPOSES, so we need to SHUN ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that is of the evil One. The Word Of God tells us, "WHATEVER is NOT Done By Faith `Is´ SIN!" It Is Our Total DEPENDENCE upon God´s Holy Spirit (Living, Moving & Having His Being In us) that Leads & Guides us Into ALL Truth & Understanding and OBEDIENCE To God´s Perfect & Acceptable Will & Way Blesses us and Keeps us In His Holy & Precious Word. He Is Our Defense and we Shall (should) NOT Be Moved by the ways of this World. Although we are ALL individuals and unique In The Kingdom Of God, NONE of us are exempt from the trials and temptations that come. God Is Faithful and Jesus NEVER Fails! He was tempted in EVERY Way that you and I are, but He did NOT sin, He did NOT Give Himself over to ANYTHING that did not further His Walk & Relationship with God, so why should we? He has Given us EVERY Ability (Spiritual & Natural Gifts & Talents), Strength Of Resistance (in our weakness He Shows Forth His Strength) and Holy Spirit POWER To ENDURE UNTIL THE END! Jesus ALWAYS Provides "The Way" for us to escape (even The Coming Judgement Of God).
Aim, Set Your Sites and Pursue Righteousness (A Right Relationship With God In Christ Jesus Through The Ministry Of His Holy Spirit) - ALL The Virtue, Goodness, Tender-Mercy, Loving-Kindness, Right Living and Perfection That HEAVEN has to offer YOU In His Holy & Precious Name! Be Transformed by the re-newing of your mind, Conform To The Will and Image Of Christ In ALL of your thoughts (as a man [woman or child] thinks, so "IS" he [or "ARE" they]), words (out of the ABUNDANCE Of The Heart the mouth speaks) and deeds (Do Unto Others As YOU Would Have Them Do Unto YOU).
Paul The Apostle Exhorted Each and EVERY One of us to "Earnestly" Pursue Faith, Hope & Love, but The GREATEST "IS" LOVE and It Is Through God's Agape LOVE that we ALL Come Into The Unity Of His Holy Spirit and Experientially Know His Shalom, Peace, Wholeness, Fullness and Blessings
- which is Harmony with others in The Communion and Fellowship Of The Saints, as we Call Upon The Name Of The Lord Out Of A Pure, Holy and Blameless Heart, In Jesus' Name. Amen and Amen.
God Bless and LOVE To ALL,

Subject: 40 Days Of Purpose! It Takes Time / Ecclesiastes 3:1;
Philippians 1:6
The Word:
TO everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven:
- Ecclesiastes 3:1
And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ - right up to the time of His return - developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.
- Philippians 1:6
TO EVERYTHING & EVERY ONE there is a season (TODAY Is "The Day Of Salvation"), and a time (God's Perfect Timing) for EVERY MATTER or [HIS] PURPOSE Under Heaven (The Heavens Declare, Proclaim, Broadcast His Glory, Goodness, Tender-Mercies, Loving-Kindness, Grace & Favor, but The Earth Is His Footstool and from where I sit [In Heavenly Places] I Am Convinced and Sure [Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine] of THIS VERY THING, Jesus AlWays Finishes What He Starts, He's "The Author AND Finisher, Completer Of Our Faith." We (you, every One on the face of planet Earth and I) are His Workmanship, Created In Christ Jesus Unto Good Works In His Holy & Precious Name and we are Continually and Continuously being Worked On Through The Ministry Of His Holy Spirit Until "The Day Of Jesus' Second Coming!" YES, you and I are a Work In Progress, we are "Under Development," Being Perfected and Being Brought Into FULL Completion as The Perfect Man, Being Built Up In Christ as The Church, His Temple & SPOTLESS Bride! OK, so we look into the mirror of God's Holy Word and realize that we are NOT ALL that we are supposed To Be, BUT His Love Letter To Us Says, "Walk By Faith (The Faith Of The Son Of God Who LOVES YOU & Gave Himself For YOU) & NOT By Sight," NOT by our Natural eyes, but through The Eyes Of His Holy Spirit (that Leads & Guides us Into ALL Truth & Understanding). What Will He Require Of YOU In The Autumn Of Your Years? We MUST Cry A Humbling Tear, ask for forgiveness, repent, turn & think differently about ALL that His Holy Spirit Whispers In Our Spiritual Ears. He LOVES us and Sees us as Holy, Pure, Blameless, Sweet, Innocent, Wonderful, Marvelous, Righteous, In Right Standing & In A Right Relationship With Him, Through The Precious Blood Of Jesus Christ And In The Unity Of His Holy Spirit!
Is it NOT About Time (The Time For EVERY Matter & PURPOSE) To Come Into Complete & Total Submission To The Perfect & Acceptable Will Of God, According To His Holy & Precious Word & Way? THIS Is What God Requires Of us, THIS Is His PURPOSE & Will For YOU & Me! Paul The Apostle beat his body into submission, took EVERY thought and Word into captivity and accomplished GREAT & MIGHTY Things For The Kingdom Of God (Which Is Righteousness, Peace & Joy In The Holy Ghost), so why don't we? Let us "Take The Time" to Listen To What The Spirit Of The Living God Is Saying To The Church Of Jesus Christ TODAY. ALLOW Him To Live, Move & Have His Being In EACH & EVERY One of us and SURELY His Will Shall Be Done In Jesus' Name. Amen & Amen.
God Bless & Love To ALL,

Subject: 40 Days Of Purpose! God's Power In Weakness / 2 Corinthians
12:9:13:4
The Word:
But He said to me, My grace - My favor and loving-kindness and mercy - are enough for you, [that is, sufficient against any danger and to enable you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect - fulfilled and completed and show themselves most effective - in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ, the Messiah, may rest - yes, may pitch a tent [over] and dwell - upon me!
- 2 Corinthians 12:9
For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He goes on living by te power of God.
And though we too are weak in Him [as He was humanly weak], yet in dealing with you [we shall show ourselves] alive and strong in (fellowship with) Him by the power of God.
- 2 Corinthians 13:4
Subject: (36) 40 Days Of Purpose! You Were Made For A Mission / Proverbs
11:30
The Word:
The fruit of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise captures human lives for God [as a fisher of men] - he gathers and receives them for eternity. [Matt. 4:19; 1 Cor. 9:19; James 5:20.]
- Proverbs 11:30
Made For A Mission
Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
- John 17:18
But none of these things move me; neither do I esteem my life dear to myself, if only I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have obtained of [entrusted to me by] the Lord Jesus, faithfully to attest the good news (Gospel) of God's grace - His unmerited favor, spiritual blessing and mercy.
- Acts 20:24
TOO Many ("self" confessing) Christians can stand (In Truth) On This Word Of God, "NONE Of These Things Move Me."
Why is it that SOO many of us "esteem" our life dear to our"self," rather than Live The Life Of The Faith Of The Son Of God, Who LOVES us AND Gave Him"self" For us? Needless to say, NOT enough of us are humbling our"self" and Praying DAILY for God to Heal Our Land. We don't bend a knee or walk The Walk (let alone Run The Race To Finish The Course Laid Out For us and FULLY Receive The Joy In The Holy Ghost, God's Holy Spirit, which IS just a small part of The Kingdom Of Heaven, The Kingdom Of God!
Each and EVERY One of us has obtained and been entrusted with A MINISTRY By The Lord Jesus. It Is To Reconcile The World Back To God, By Faith In Christ, The Gospel (Good News) Of His Unmerited Favor, Tender-Mercies and Through The Workings Of His Holy Spirit Unto Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection Life. If NONE of these (VERY SPIRITUAL) things Move you, I would suggest that your conscience has been seared or you have Never, Ever Truly Been Spiritually Awakened, Born-Again, Born-Anew or Born From Above.
If you have SEEN Jesus, you have SEEN The Father, Our Father Who Art In heaven and as He Is on this Earth, so are we Called Of God To GO, Do and Be. His Mission of Spiritual SERVICE and WORSHIP is Our PURPOSE, In JUST The Same Way and THAT Is Why We MUST Follow Him According To His Holy And Precious Word, Will And Way! God so Loved this World that He Gave His One and ONLY Begotten Son, Jesus and in turn, He Also HAS SENT us, you, me and EVERY One, EVERY Body who confesses His Name Above ALL Names. Our GREAT Co-Mission is to take The Love Of God and The Good News Of Jesus to ALL Nations and Peoples. Are you doing EVERYTHING in your Power to accomplish His PURPOSE for your very existence? Jesus says, "Follow Me and I Will MAKE YOU Fishers Of (ALL) Mankind." Are you gathering, receiving, capturing human lives for ALL of Eternity? The Bible says, "He Who Is Wise" Does These Things! The (Reverential) Fear Of The Lord IS "The Beginning Of Wisdom," so it is more than OBVIOUS that we ALL Need (Desperately) to Grow In The Grace, Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom Of The ALL-Mighty. THIS IS The Holy Fruit Of The Righteous, The Lasting Fruit Of The Holy Spirit that is produced when we ALLOW Him to Live, Move and Have His Being Working Upon, In and Through us. Apart from Him we can do NOTHING, but By His Grace, Through The Unity Of His Holy Spirit and as we Equip The Saints For SERVICE In The Kingdom Of God, we Can FULL-FILL His GREAT COMMISSION, God's PURPOSE for your Life In Christ and we Can Do ALL Things In Jesus' Name. Amen and Amen.

The Word:
He who believes in the Son of God - who adheres to and trusts in and relies on Him, possesses this divine attestation - has the testimony within himself. He who does not believe God (in this way) has made Him out to be and represented Him as a liar, because he has not believed - put his faith in and adhered to and relied on the testimony - the evidence that God has borne regarding His Son.

The Word:
And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature (of the whole human race).
- Mark 16:15
That Your way may be known upon earth, Your saving power [Your deliverances and Your salvation], among all nations.
- Psalm 67:2
TODAY Is "The Day Of (Your) Salvation / (Your) Yeshua / (Your) Jesus, God's Deliverance, His Saving Power" and there is no easier or more effective Way (Jesus Is The Way, Truth and Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection Life), but God's Perfect and Acceptable Word, Will and "Way" to bring God's Preaching, Teaching and Healing (Openly Published, The Love Of God and The Good News Of Jesus, The Gospel) to be made known upon Earth (on Earth as It Is In Heaven), among ALL Nations and Peoples, EVERY Creature of the WHOLE Human Race, In Jesus' Precious Name, NOT by might, NOT by (our own human) power, but By His Holy Spirit, Says The Lord (and through the internet)! To Become A World-Class Christian and Truly FULL-FILL God's ULTIMATE PURPOSE in our EVERY Day Life (In Christ), we MUST Submit To His Authority (In Obedience) and use EVERY Avenue available to us to Spread "The Word," Get "The Word" OUT and INTO The Public's Eye. REMEMBER, Jesus said, Let Your Light (The Light Of Life and The Light Of ALL Mankind) SHINE out and into this present World of darkness. YOU "ARE" The City On The Hill (God's Holy Mountain)!
Use radio (shortwave, am, fm, satellite), television (cable, digital, uhf), newspapers, magazines, the telephone (land-line, car phone, cell phone), your computer or WHATEVER form of spoken, written and MOST Preferably (YOUR) Living Word to Make "That Way, God's Way" Be Known. God Is Gracious, Merciful, Loving, Kind, so we should ALL Be Thankful, Praising, Singing (Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs), Glad, Joyful, above ALL Blessed and Blessing each other. They (The World) Will Come To Know that we "ARE" World-Class Christians, True Believers, Followers, Disciples Of Christ and Children Of The Most High God "By Our Love" For Him and One another. God Is LOVE!
Has Jesus REALLY appeared to YOU? Do NOT be reproved or reproached by Jesus for your unbelief, lack of Faith (Without Faith It Is IMPOSSIBLE To Please God), hardness of heart, because you refuse to Believe Him, See Him, Look At Him Intently, since He Is Risen From death and the grave. It is When We Believe, Adhere To, Trust In, Rely On The Gospel, The Good News Of Him that we "ARE" Truly Baptized In The Holy Spirit and Saved from the penalty of sin, eternal damnation, condemnation and the second death. After hearing such things from The Messiah / Christ / The Anointed One, His Disciples went out and Preached EVERYWHERE, The Lord kept working with (in, upon and through) them, Confirming "The Message" By Signs and Wonders, so should we not ALL Go and Do Like-Wise In Jesus' Name. Amen and Amen.

Subject: 40 Days Of Purpose! Living With Purpose / Proverbs 19:21; Acts
13:36

Many plans are in a man's mind, but it is the Lord's purpose for him that will stand. [Job 23:13; Ps. 33:10, 11; Isa. 14:26, 27; 46:10; Acts 5:39; Heb. 6:17.]
- Proverbs 19:21
For David, after he had served God's will and purpose and counsel in his own generation, fell asleep [in death], and was buried among his forefathers, and he did see corruption and undergo putrefaction and dissolution [of the grave].
- Acts 13:36
At This Point In Time, should we not ALL Want, Need, Desire and Be WILLING To Serve The PURPOSE Of God In Our Generation (I Am talking about M.M..M...M....My G.G..G...G....Generation) as King David did and as The Son Of David, Jesus did in His (and continues to do NOW in Ours)? EVERY (form of) Life in our known and un-known universe has God's PURPOSE stamped ALL over it, especially those of us whose Eternal, Everlasting, Abundant, Resurrection Life In Christ has The Seal Of His Holy Spirit upon them until The Day Of Redemption!
Are YOU Serving (Worshipping) God's Word, Will, Way, Counsel and PURPOSE according to The Plan that He has laid out for you? There may be MANY thoughts, ideas, perceptions, personal understandings or mis-understandings that could lead and guide you into your very own (seemingly Good) plan and NOT God's, but it is ONLY The Lord's PURPOSE for your Entire Being that Will Allow YOU To Prevail and Take A Stand In His Holy And Precious Name! After you have done ALL that you can to stand, stand therefore and let The Holy Spirit Do His Job, which is to lead and guide you into ALL Truth (Jesus), The Understanding, Wisdom and Knowledge Of God and To Bring ALL Things Into Remembrance, what Messiah, Christ, The Anointed One, Gods One and ONLY Begotten Son Said and DID, so that we Can and Will Go and Do Like-Wise. (He [or she] who has ears to hear, let them) Hear, O Israel (Natural & Spiritual), The Lord's Counsel, Believe, Receive and Obey His Instruction and accept His Correction (God Disciplines Those He LOVES), so that YOU May Be WISE, FILLED with ALL The Presence Of God (through The Ministry Of His Holy Spirit Living, Moving and Having His Being Upon, In and Working Through YOU) in these present times that we Live and In The Time To Come, Maranatha, Come Lord SOON! God Looks (The Eyes Of The Lord Go To And Fro) for Loyalty, Kindness, Integrity and above ALL else, His LOVE To Be (Consistently) EVIDENT in the Lives of those who Call themselves "Christian."
The reverential, worshipful fear of the Lord leads to life, and he who has it shall rest satisfied; he cannot be visited with [actual] evil. [Job 5:19; Prov. 12:13; Isa. 46:4; Jer. 1:8; Dan. 6:27; Ps. 91:3; 2 Tim. 4:8.]
- Proverbs 19:23
Noah, Daniel, Job, ALL The Saints of Old and New Covenant could not stand, but for The Grace, Favor Of God and their Faith In His Goodness, Tender-Mercies and Loving-Kindness. He Is Faithful and True, so should we ever even come close to consider looking unto another or giving our very souls over to another?
Where else can we go, for He ALONE Has The Words Of Eternal Life! God LOVES YOU, though the mountains shall fall and snowmen sleep in the sea. He REALLY ONLY Wants, Wishes (that NONE would perish, but that ALL would Come to Repentance), Desires YOU To Come Unto Him, Be Forgiven, Cleansed, Purified, Sanctified, Holy, Blameless and Made WHOLE, so that His Plan and YOUR"S can Come TOGETHER (as One) and Each and EVERY Day Of Your Life (In Christ) Is PURPOSE Driven In Jesus' Name. Amen and Amen. God Bless and Love to ALL,

He REALLY ONLY Wants, Wishes (that NONE would perish, but that ALL would Come to Repentance), Desires YOU To Come Unto Him, Be Forgiven, Cleansed, Purified, Sanctified, Holy, Blameless and Made WHOLE, so that His Plan and YOUR"S can Come TOGETHER (as One) and Each and EVERY Day Of Your Life (In Christ) Is PURPOSE Driven In Jesus' Name. Amen and Amen. God Bless and Love to ALL,
< Mark
