A Puddle of Water Colossians 3:16-17

Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to God with [His] grace in your hearts.

17 And whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him.

What are these Words?Matthew 6:33-34 -33 But seek ([a]aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness ([b]His way of doing and being right), and then all these things [c]taken together will be given you besides.34 So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.John 14:16 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your [a]moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and [b]recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.Mark 11:24-25 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].  And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and [a]let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop.Matthew 22:37-39 - And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect -the capacity for understanding, thinking, and reasoning, as distinct from feeling or wishing). This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself.

Have a home in your heart and mindLet ‘the Word Spoken by Christ have its home, prepare you heart as a:A place of safety, thriving, rest. (Home is a sanctuary …A place of refuge and safety), a place of rest- Don’t grieve the Holy SpiritPrepare your heart...John the Baptist...prepare the way for the KingDo whatever you can to prepare your heart – Even if it takes eating locust and wearing sheep skinPrepare your heart and Mind - Like a guest is coming to stay for a whileLet your actions be invitingGet rid of clutterRenew your mind- Consecrate yourself to ChristRomans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.Dwell in you in all its richnessRichness is a product of growthLet these Words that have found refuge in your Heart and mind Produce FruitJeremiah 17:7-8 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not [a]fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.(Corona season)You become a fountain – That is full and water flows all around you. If you don’t have a pool of water – puddle of water around you, then you either not filled or there is an obstructionThe tree that doesn’t produce is cut – Matthew 7:19 - Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.And the byproduct of this is:…….and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom [in spiritual things,
