Time For Renewal

I have been away from posting these past weeks as the Lord has been working in me a living understanding of the teachings I have written by his revelation of the Spirit. It is time, now to begin another period of experience and knowledge in the Lord. This one thought has been with me this morning as I was reading in Philippians, and I shall state it as follows:

As we mature in Christ, we must learn to make lighter the things of this world and heavier the things of Christ and of Father God. As we pass through life, it is sad when we consider our physical circumstances over the needs of Christian service, part of the maturing process is the understanding of just how temporary our physical life is and the care for it must not override the care for the requests and needs of the Spirit life of God. There is no physical need that can separate us from the love of the Father. There is no physical circumstance that can keep us from his fellowship, unless we give it greater worth than Him. Loving temporary things more than Yahweh God will lead us into a fearful state of mind. Men's hearts fail today because of this fearful stress. Some are even nuisances to their fellow neighbors, begging for physical needs, all from fear, not knowing there is One who cares for His own. What a shameful state when we walk in fear ( I am speaking from experience). If we stand fast in the Lord,even though sins may befall us in the flesh, we shall overcome by holding fast our faith and humbling ourselves by asking forgiveness from our Lord and giving Him proper place. He will meet our needs and sometimes wants, but all should be considered as lost for the sake of the gospel of Christ Jesus our Lord.

Philippians 3:8-11 (New King James Version)

⁸ Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ ⁹ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; ¹⁰ that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, ¹¹ if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
