How about for you?......what do you call living?
We hear it all the time and it comes from the mouths of the materially rich, the
highly educated and the worldly successful, the famous and the food connoisseurs, motor
car collectors and motor cycle fanatics.....'that's living'.
Maybe even the retirees down at the beach resort, the lotto winner with the newly
purchased penthouse suite in the latest concrete jungle. Any Freddy can own a Harley
Davidson even I owned one, I didn't pray to Jesus for it ( I was a lost sinner unsaved
at the time) and I wasn't paying it off either. Actually I rode motor cycles for 18
years. We hear it every day in so many ways but St Paul says this and I totally
agree......'to live is to let the Christ Live'.....now that's really tapping into
another sphere altogether...1 Corinthians 13:11.
For him, this spiritual man, this prisoner of the Christ, this servant of the unseen God,
this man that the world today is not even worthy to know about let alone know......for
him, his opinion was, his attitude was..........
I am really living it, I am really living in the ultimate realm when I let
messiah have his way in my life and I am like the grain of wheat that has fallen into the
dirt and died to me, my wants, my flesh, my self......click here.
St Paul was actually talking about partaking of his, Jesus the Christ's holiness when he
said this. Brother Paul did not go about leading people astray like the prophet Balaam of
old who was a lover of monies. Brother Paul briefed his main, chief disciple, St Timothy
and said......
- BE CONTENT WITH FOOD AND CLOTHING. THERE WAS NO MENTION, THOUGHT OR CONSIDERATION EVEN
FOR A ROOF OVER HIS HEAD, SHELTER OR A ROOM.......1 TIMOTHY 6:6.......SELAH!

St Paul said in the very same chapter and letter that useless men and
women with corrupt minds who have not the truth suppose that hanging around with Jesus or
following Jesus is going to make for gain and brother Paul advised Timothy to withdraw
from people like this.....1 Timothy 6:5...selah again.
Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all that the rest may also fear. So when
we hear of and witness money making and marketeering church men and women give them a real
good rebuke for their souls sake and for all the rest listening on.
As long as men and women have not partaken, tasted of his, Jesus holiness they will
continue to go down the same old marketing road of selling God's Word and never
experiencing that agape love and joy of the Christ which comes from departure from known
sin, selfless living, humility without accolades and the reproach of the Christ outside
the rich religious synagogue gates. It all simply remains what it has always been just
organised religion with the name of Jesus stitched on the end very cleverly....click.
- Self esteem will never be spoken about ever again once we give up our all so important
lives. No longer will you run out of steam or burn out as they say all because you will be
firmly fixed upon him Elohim and you and self will be a thing of the past buried where all
sin belongs.........in Egypt/the world. Amen
