JAN 1 AND 2– DAILY BREAD –HOLY SPIRIT/SPIRIT OF TRUTH…

JAN 1 AND 2– DAILY BREAD –HOLY SPIRIT/SPIRIT OF TRUTH — SCRIPTURE{KJV}: [JESUS SPEAKING] Matthew 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you John 14:15-21 If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him: but ye know Him; for He dwells with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. John 3:3-8 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto Him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind blows where it listeth, and thou hears the sound thereof, but cannot tell from where it comes, and to where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, He shall testify of me: John 16: 7-16 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. Rev. 22:12-14 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Rev. 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

PONDERING: Jesus teaches that the SPIRIT OF GOD was within Him, and He is the KINGDOM OF GOD. As Believers we have the Holy Spirit within, [sent to us by Jesus] but as long as we are in the flesh our own spirit/ego of man born of the water of our mother’s womb, competes for the stage. Jesus seems to be saying that when our Spiritual Birth is complete that we will be like the wind, able to travel as does the wind, and also able to be invisible as the wind. When Jesus returned to HIS disciples after HIS resurrection, He had that kind of a Body. [Mathew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24:31; John 20:26; John 21:14] Before Jesus left for the cross He prayed for us that we would one day be ONE with Him, as He is ONE with the Father, [John 17] and when that happens the Kingdom of God that is within us [Holy Spirit] will turn us inside out in a Spiritual Birth and we will be in the Kingdom of God, ONE as they are ONE able to travel and appear as the wind blows, ONE in marriage with the Spirit of Truth of GOD. In the meantime, the HOLY SPIRIT within the Believer will testify to us of the Truth. We are those who have the Testimony of Jesus who satan wishes to destroy. [Rev.12:17] But we overcome satan by the blood of Jesus and by the word of our testimony, willing to die for the Truth that we might Eternally Live. [Rev.12:11]

PRAYER: FATHER, thank You for looking for us and finding us, and for revealing to us what we are without You, a revelation that empties us into humble submission and desire for Your Goodness and Holy Truth. Thank You for giving us the Bread of Life when we told You of our hunger for You. Thank You for loving us and giving us Your Holy Spirit to lead us into Eternal unity and service to Your perfect Will. Guide us each day in our imperfection here on earth so that we can accomplish what You would have us do here before we are called to be with You. All in Jesus Name. Amen
