------------------------------------------

Chris.

The most amazing time in the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ was not His Miracles and other acts of Love and Mercy that He did, but it was the period of Easter in His Experience. Even though Christ knew what was ahead, He even went into this time in a very special way and attitude. Even in going to the Cross, Christ had a picture, a vision of what His going to the Cross was going to achieve for humanity. So, He went through Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension and now is back at the place of Intercession at the Right Hand of God on high. This encourages us to keep hold of the vision that God has given us for the ministry that we are doing now.

If we have the wrong expectations, then we shall not receive anything from the Lord. Expectations can be really warped by fallen culture and by life’s experiences. As True Believers we need to have expectations that are in line with God’s Word.

We should be living in the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit is living in us if we are True Believers. This is a daily Challenge to me, and a Joy and Privilege too. We have the Holy Spirit, that is Biblically very sure if we are True Believers. There is absolutely nothing more to do about that. What is important is the application of this Truth. We should be sensitive to the Holy Spirit within us and begin to live in the Holy Spirit.

Chris.

Our attitude when in front of the Word of God must be humility and being teachable. If we lose this attitude, then we are in spiritual danger. I meet some people today who are so strongly opinionated about God’s Word bur they are not humble or teachable. My heart is sad when I meet such people, especially in Church or in Mission organisation.
