The mind, the body, the soul, and the spirit. Think everyday where all of your members of your body are focused on; pray that it is on following JESUS.
We are not perfect, and we are all a work in progress. But, may the focus, goal, and effort be made to constantly try to follow Jesus from head to toe, heart and soul, mind and spirit; this way we can live it.
GOD IS GREAT!! Of course. HE is a wonderful counselor.
May we that believe realize that we are a work in progress. We are constantly working more and more each day towards the path of righteousness; knowing that JESUS is the only way.
Though we go through many sinful things before we are allowed to realize the light. May we realize that once we are " new creation" in CHRIST that this is not the time to judge anyone to condemnation. But judge sinful acts in love in order to show people the true path of righteousness; through JESUS CHRIST!
Many will be after us in their walk towards HIM! Regardless of how we learned or were taught the ways of CHRIST! Regardless of how harsh. May we take away sinful teachings, and just keep the loving teachings that inspired, and pass those on to others. Growing in love daily through reading, believing, praying, and trying our best to live a righteous live. Being strong enough to be in a sinful situation and praying to the LORD in the situation, and watching how HE uses you to make the situation turn into a praise of HIS holy name. AMEN!!
Jesus loved all. Jesus kept a betrayer with HIM, fed him, preached to him, and sat with him. Jesus fed believers and non-believers. Jesus did miracles in front of believers and non-believers. Jesus prayed for those that killed HIM. Jesus loved those that did not love HIM. Jesus is the all in all, the epitome of what a human can do with the vessel ( body), and a testimony of the Spirit/love of GOD.
The Son of GOD; Jesus Christ.
The light, the truth, the way, the life, the love, the saviour, the messiah, Yeshua, the bridegroom, the servant, the teacher, the master, the sacrifice, the lamb, the WORD of GOD, the prince of peace, the light of the world, the gift of life and more........JESUS CHRIST; always thank to GOD for this gift.
Please pray the LORD's PRAYER and please read:
ROMANS 6
1 What should we say then? Should we remain in sin so that grace may be given the more fully?
2 Out of the question! We have died to sin; how could we go on living in it?
3 You cannot have forgotten that all of us, when we were baptised into Christ Jesus, were baptised into his death.
4 So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father's glorious power, we too should begin living a new life.
5 If we have been joined to him by dying a death like his, so we shall be by a resurrection like his;
6 realising that our former self was crucified with him, so that the self which belonged to sin should be destroyed and we should be freed from the slavery of sin.
7 Someone who has died, of course, no longer has to answer for sin.
8 But we believe that, if we died with Christ, then we shall live with him too.
9 We know that Christ has been raised from the dead and will never die again. Death has no power over him any more.
10 For by dying, he is dead to sin once and for all, and now the life that he lives is life with God.
11 In the same way, you must see yourselves as being dead to sin but alive for God in Christ Jesus.
12 That is why you must not allow sin to reign over your mortal bodies and make you obey their desires;
13 or give any parts of your bodies over to sin to be used as instruments of evil. Instead, give yourselves to God, as people brought to life from the dead, and give every part of your bodies to God to be instruments of uprightness;
14 and then sin will no longer have any power over you -- you are living not under law, but under grace.
15 What is the implication? That we are free to sin, now that we are not under law but under grace? Out of the question!
16 You know well that if you undertake to be somebody's slave and obey him, you are the slave of him you obey: you can be the slave either of sin which leads to death, or of obedience which leads to saving justice.
17 Once you were slaves of sin, but thank God you have given whole-hearted obedience to the pattern of teaching to which you were introduced;
18 and so, being freed from serving sin, you took uprightness as your master.
19 I am putting it in human terms because you are still weak human beings: as once you surrendered yourselves as servants to immorality and to a lawlessness which results in more lawlessness, now you have to surrender yourselves to uprightness which is to result in sanctification.
20 When you were the servants of sin, you felt no obligation to uprightness,
21 and what did you gain from living like that? Experiences of which you are now ashamed, for that sort of behaviour ends in death.
22 But, now you are set free from sin and bound to the service of God, your gain will be sanctification and the end will be eternal life.
23 For the wage paid by sin is death; the gift freely given by God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
GOD BLESS US ALL,

I don’t diss it. America could not have been founded without Christianity. But I’d rather that God be of the universe than a man.
‘Works for me anyway.
I am reminding you, brothers and sisters,
of the Gospel I preached to you,
which you indeed received and in which you also stand.
Through it you are also being saved,
if you hold fast to the word I preached to you,
unless you believed in vain.
For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received:
that Christ died for our sins
in accordance with the Scriptures;
that he was buried;
that he was raised on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures;
that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.
After that, he appeared to more
than five hundred brothers and sisters at once,
most of whom are still living,
though some have fallen asleep.
After that he appeared to James,
then to all the Apostles.
Last of all, as to one born abnormally,
he appeared to me.
1 Corinthians 1-8.
Anima Christi - Soul of Christ
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O Good Jesus, hear me.
Within Thy wounds, hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee.
From the malignant enemy, defend me.
In the hour of my death, call me.
And bid me come to Thee, that with
Thy saints I may praise Thee for ever and ever. Amen.
Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills the breast!
Yet sweeter far Thy face to see
And in Thy presence rest.
No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
Nor can the memory find,
A sweeter sound than Jesus’ name,
The Savior of mankind.
O hope of every contrite heart!
0 joy of all the meek!
To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!
But what to those who find? Ah! this
Nor tongue nor pen can show
The love of Jesus, what it is,
None but His loved ones know.
Jesus! our only hope be Thou,
As Thou our prize shalt be;
In Thee be all our glory now,
And through eternity. Amen.
Veni Creator
Come, O Creator Spirit blest! And in our souls take up Thy rest; Come with Thy grace and heavenly aid, To fill the hearts which Thou hast made. Great Paraclete! To Thee we cry, O highest gift of God most high! O font of life! O fire of love! And sweet anointing from above.
Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts art known, The finger of God’s hand we own; The promise of the Father, Thou! Who dost the tongue with power endow.
Kindle our senses from above, And make our hearts overflow with love; With patience firm and virtue high The weakness of our flesh supply.
Far from us drive the foe we dread, And grant us Thy true peace instead; So shall we not, with Thee for guide, Turn from the path of life aside.
Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow The Father and the Son to know, And Thee, through endless times confessed, Of both, the eternal Spirit blest.
All glory while the ages run Be to the Father and the Son Who rose from death; the same to Thee, O Holy Ghost, eternally. Amen.
HE is definitely the GOD of all things.
AMEN
