God reveals himself to us.  Since the creation of the world; the fall of Man, this hope has been in people who have looked forward to Jesus. We speak,  however,  sometimes we need to wait.  Prayer is listening to God. We have a clear purpose- we are all created by God, but not everyone is a child of God.  We become a child of God when we are born again in Christ Jesus. It's about God.  No one can charge you, no one can condemn you.   No one can separate us from God.  Revelation 3 Key:  Jesus is the way into the Kingdom of God.  To get into the Kingdom of God,  we need the right key; Jesus.   Whether you go in or stay out is up to you.  Many believers have not gone through the door to experience all God has for them.  Revelation 3:17-22 These doors are not the doors that you open to let God in.  These

Bible reference:  Romans 8; 2 Corinthians 13:4-6 Jesus ministered among people in all different ways.   When we try to fit people into a box, it doesn't work as we are all different.   Put yourself to the test, to see if we're in the faith.  Jesus won the victory,  we need to know live with Christ. Romans 8:1-17 Where do you reside?  Live by the Spirit; put to death the misdeeds of the sinful nature. If we are God's children, then we are heirs in Christ. Believers will be disciplined by the Lord. It will happen first in Gods house.  We're not talking about condemnation but discipline. By our faith in Christ,  we are secure.  You cannot change by self-will.  The Spirit must work in you.  Corruption of the world or grace of God. By which of these are we governed? God turned his face from his Son on which the condemnation of the world was put on him.  Cross reference: Genesis 6 (corruption of the world) God's divine nature was satisfied by the death of Chris

Besides being born again in Christ,  a healthy body and mind is a blessing we can have.  Not all families experience this. Luke 22:19-20 1 Corinthians 1124-26 There was an old covenant,  then a new covenant.   Communion was and is a big part of worshipping God.  His loving instruction is we participate together in communion.  We proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.  There is no instruction that it's only done on a Sunday.  The early church did communion each day they met.  Jesus blood gives us the right standing before God.   We are righteous by what is done on the cross. Hebrews 4:16 How can we know? How do we pass the test? 2 Corinthians 13:4-6 Answer:  Christ Jesus is in us.  If Christ is not in us, we're in big strife.  In Christ we declare his death; we are made right. Communion is not just a ritual to be observed.   We are to count our blessings one by one, and see what God has done.

They respond to God's favor and blessing.   We want God to continually build us as we walk with him.   A willing mind,  a willing action.  God's love.   The Father wants us to worship him in spirit and in truth.   The carnal mind cannot wa
