This Life we are Sojourning as Pilgrims unto our

Day of the Lord

What is the Gospel? Blessed
Hope - The Return of Jesus Heb. 11:13, 1 Pet. 2:11
In this current age Jesus is patient with the wicked allowing
them time to repent before He executes His wrath at the Day of the Lord. The
righteous are treated unjustly under persecution & sufferings till Jesus comes to
vindicate them. Believers are called to endure and patiently persevere unto the Day of
the Lord knowing they are loved by God and will be greatly rewarded when Jesus
returns. The saints persevere in the context of night & day prayer where temporal
justice is released through prayer to strengthen the heart of the church to persevere and
to bear witness to all of the coming justice at the Day of the Lord.

The only reasonable response is

for me to repent, reorient &
surrender everything in my
existence: to love & glorify you
by taking up my own cross
laying down my life in sacrificial
love that you would bee seen as
beautiful & glorious. I am
empowered to live this
crucifiedlife only by the power
of the Holy Spirit. Lk. 9:23-25,

Ordained Narrow, Difficult Path of Life

Of Sanctification for Every Believer
(Matt. 7:14). This path consists of times when life is fully of
suffering and times when life is full of blessings . (Phil. 4:12-13).
The believer mourns and longs for Jesus more in the midst of
seasons of abundance because the blessings themselves do not
satisfy. The believer can rejoice in difficulty cause of the love they
always have in Christ. (Rom. 8:31-39). The Lords leadership into the
ups and downs of life is meant to apply just the right amount of
pressure to sanctify the soul of the believer to present a pure church
to Jesus at His return. This path requires a continual denial of self
to obey and give ourselves to Jesus in love. We must continually
resist & renounce all sin, pride, desire for riches & worldly pleasure
to live humbly & give extravagantly so that we can enter into the
superior pleasure of knowing Christ which far surpasses the
inferior pleasure of sin.

Our Many MinistryAssignments Every Believer is called to the full time ministry of making disciples of Jesus.
This is to be walked out within any occupation or season of life. The Lord wants
to accompany discipleship with the power of the Holy Spirit to do signs, wonders
& miracles to bear witness to the bodily resurrection of Jesus and the coming
bodily resurrection of His Church at the day of the Lord. Some assignments will be
enjoyable & powerful, some will be difficult & mundane. But the true disciple will
have a willingness to serve anywhere and endure persecution in humility & love.
(Matt. 28:18-20; 23:11 Heb. 6:5; Acts 2-5; 2 Tim 3:12; Acts 1:8)

GREATEST COMMANDMENT
The summit of success from heavens
perspective is to love Jesus with all
our heart, soul mind, & strength and
having genuine love for people. To
Love Jesus is to obey Him through
the life defined in the scripture and
specifically in the sermon on the
mount (Matt. 5-7). We will each be
rewarded differently based on how
well we loved and obeyed Jesus.
Jesus Himself will Judge each person
based on the quality of love we had
for Him and the quality of love we
had for people, as well as how this
was replicated in others through our
lives. Mk. 12:29-31; John 5:22-30;
Matt. 16:27

Abundant Life as an Internal Reality in this Age:

Our portion in this age is continual access to increase in deep fellowship with Christ through His indwelling Spirit. Through this fellowship, Holy Spirit sets us
free from sin and gives us a love, Joy, peace, & thankfulness in the midst of any circumstance. This internal abundant life must be cultivated and it also doesnt
imply continual emotional bliss, but rather the ability to live free from the tyranny of sin & to love God and know His love in any and all circumstances as we grow
in the relational knowledge with Him. Ultimately in this age, this fellowship with Holy Spirit doesnt cause a final perfection but causes love for Jesus to mature
causing us to walk more Holy & to long for His return (we miss him). The true believers great longing is to be with Him in fullness when He returns and we are
united with Him forever at our bodily resurrection. Holy Spirit gives us power to walk in victory and overcome the war with sin & satan every day until the war
stops when we receive our resurrected Bodies. John 10:10; 1 Jn. 3:1-3; Eph. 2:18; Rev. 22:17; Matt. 9:15; 1 Thess. 4:17; Rom. 8)

Way of Discipleship - Imitate Christ - Go and write down everything that Jesus commanded and then do them all.
