you are in Christ Jesus now and he says because you're in Christ Jesus there's no condemnation for you at all so if you have given your life to Jesus that means you're on this track then there's no condemnation over you my dear child and

seven or eight years that we've been here in Colorado but it's a growing burden and the more I taste it with you all fellowship and growth in the body of Christ the more the deeper the burden is for me to the deeper the burden is for

you fall asleep, you know, a lot of people even in religious Christendom are in the habit of saying prayers before they go to sleep. Unfortunately, most of the prayers are, Lord, don't kill me while I'm asleep. If my If I should die before I wake,

shall live by faith everything in the Christian life is not static stagnant meaning it's staying in one place it's all a part of growing if you turn with me to 2 Corinthians chapter 3 Verse 18 we see

So, we've been considering getting a firm grip on the Christian life. God will do his part if we do our part. God could never make Adam holy

christ how we here and this is something that has defined the direction and identity of us as a group of believers we're not just a group of believers that like this building or like each other and find certain things in common and find some

you could forgive me of all my sins let me not stop there because the gospel is from Faith to Faith I don't stay stagnant in my Christian Life the narrow gate speaks of the cross

but I feel that's a very dangerous place to be. And I think it's symbolic of our Christian life as well that if our Christian walk ever becomes so routine that I know what to do next or like Merv was bringing out in what he

want to tell you that that I think there are two types of people in this world two types of religious people whether they call themselves Christians or any other religion and let's just talk about those who call themselves Christian

talking to me about the gifts of salvation, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, justification, sanctification, the foundations of the Christian truth. I was given this book

our Father in Heaven we want to thank you for this morning we want to honor you Lord we want to exalt the name of Jesus Christ in this meeting Lord I pray that you would help me know what to say what not to say you know the

actually on his birthday last year uh about how I felt like so much of how I had been filled up through Christ was because of sacrifices he had made that's nothing compared to what Jesus has done for me and what Jesus was saying is here's

one verse one he speaks of the lord jesus christ he was fully convinced that this man this brother of mine is god as well and that was a challenge in those days for the for the israelites the jews they saw jesus as just a man but they

show me jesus what you have for me today what you have for me tomorrow i believe such a christian with a mindset like that we'll also walk in a way of uh a victory and at the end of our lives also we can say like paul jesus that which you had for me to do on

if you if you've been a Christian for a number of years and somehow today there's not a looking forward to Jesus coming I say check your foundation something's not right do you didn't did did you not wake up today and in some aspect think Lord

up now that are not deep students of the word. They don't even bring a Bible to the meetings. I it's uh tragic. And the Western world which had Christianity long before India has given up on the Bible. In our churches everybody brings a Bible

God who's who the your father who sees in secret. That's the phrase that I the Lord has been underlining in my heart. And it's because Christians are taken up with the external that when you think about Jesus and what what all he did,

thought I would share this at the beginning when Phil or I travel like this to different places uh unlike most of Christendom that makes a big deal out of missionaries you know I've been in churches where missionaries go off or

Unless the father himself has revealed Christ to you, you will be deceived. And the Pharisees, you read in John 5, they searched the scriptures. They studied the Bible more than Peter did. And even though we preach, we say you

lack in my life a spiritual unist or something that's un Christlike not seeing it manifested in my life I pray and ask that the Holy Spirit reveal something to me take of the Lord Jesus and reveal it to me or disclose it to me

is this on am I on yes it is okay um let's begin by praying together and I like to take us to a few requests a number of our families are sick um and also Anova Christopher mentioned Anova asked asked for prayer
