John 14:12 (NKJV) “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. By design, we cannot exercise anything beyond what we are willing to believe. It is literally the only way the Kingdom of Heaven works.

Here’s the thing, knowing who we are in Christ, when we find ourselves in a wilderness moment, is absolutely necessary for our success as a disciple.

Mark 2:16-17 NKJV “And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, “How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

Part 3 2/19/23 James 1:22 (NKJV) “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” MSG, ACT ON WHAT YOU HEAR!

Matthew 4:23 (NKJV) Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.

James 1:22 (MSG) Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. ACT ON WHAT YOU HEAR!

• James 1: 22-24,NLT- But don’t just listen to God’s word. YOU MUST DO WHAT IT SAYS. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. • For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. • You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (MSG) Let me go over with you again exactly what goes on in the Lord’s Supper and why it is so centrally important. I received my instructions from the Master himself and passed them on to you.

Colossians 1:13,NLT- For He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of His dear Son.

Jesus told us “That which is born of the Spirit is spirit, and the words that I speak to you are Spirit.” Jesus’ words are what bring out the faith that’s in our born-again nature.

Here’s the deal, everything about our new world, our authority, dominion, and our effectiveness all hinge on this one Kingdom of Heaven foundation; we have to stay on the love line. Which will absolutely require complete trust that God’s way is right.

Our real life is 100% spiritual. But most Christians only refer to this life, our humanity, as real life. The spiritual life is a someday life when we get to Heaven. Let me ask you this, do you honestly believe you belong to a different world right now? How often do you think about that world? How the eternal world applies to this temporary one.

“Home for Christmas” is simply a reminder for us as we celebrate another Christmas holiday, to embrace being at home with Christ, and being comfortable with Him in our daily lives. Which means acknowledging who we are in Him.

Matthew 16:19 YLT “and I will give to thee the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.”

Our new talk, “Home for Christmas” is simply a reminder for us as we celebrate another Christmas holiday, to embrace being at home with Christ, and a big part of that is acknowledging who we are in Him.

As we celebrate another Christmas holiday, as we take part in all the family and social events, all the traditions, sometimes just a simple reminder for all of us as believers to remember is why we’re here.

Thanks-giving should be at the heart of every believer confessing Jesus as their savior because it connects us on a more authentic level with His presence.

Here’s a truth we should give a little more consideration, thanksgiving is a heart acknowledgment of something someone did for us. For the born again, thanksgiving is a spiritual force that connects us to more of our Lord’s grace.

When we get used to something, it’s difficult to change direction. But when we choose to maintain an environment of change, we position ourselves for a higher level of influence.

Canaan represents a new life God has for each of His people. A life that sometimes in the natural looks bigger, more intimating, than we might be comfortable with.

The reason we are captivated by Jesus is because he first was captivated by us.

Canaan is the Promised Land. Canaan represents a new life God has for each of His people. Represents God’s best. There are benefits both individually and corporately in Canaan.

Matthew 16:1-3 (NKJV) Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said to them, When it is evening you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red; and in the morning, It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening. Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the...
