Thoughts of humility and pride cannot exist at the same time in our brains. We have to get rid of one of them. If humility is our thought then pride cannot be in the picture whatsoever. If pride is our thought then humility is non-existent.

If we are ever going to truly go where God wants us to go we are going to have to get in the proper position and that position is humility. God resists the proud but give grace to the humble. The word of God tells us to humble ourselves. We must understand our position in Christ and how we are to position ourselves for Him to speak to us.

Joy is not some emotion that we work up. Joy is a gift of the Holy Spirit. True Joy that surpasses all understanding just like peace comes from God and God alone.  As a follower of Jesus Christ we want to share this joy with others.  However, it is a task to verbally express something that is so inexpressible or even you might say unspeakable.  Though that may be true it should not stop us from trying.

Even if we cannot explain the joy we have inside we still can share that joy with others and bring life to other people’s life.  Today we will find out who has had this kind of Joy and how we can have it and sustain it.

The life that God has destined for us as His children to live is within our grasp. However, most American Christians are frustrated in their journey because they know there is more but can't seem to step into all God has for them. That would be the threshold of Authority. If we take that step over the threshold into the authority and power God has given us our lives will truly never be the same.

We were never meant to stay spiritual babies.  Babies cannot eat solid food or anything such as meat because they are not mature enough to physically digest.  We as children of God are to grow up and mature in the knowledge, wisdom and our relationship with God but still not lose our child-like faith in Him.

Most Christians equate spiritual maturity to a stoic and staunch way of living.  However, God's Word say something a little different.  The Pharisees, Saducees and Scribes in Jesus' day where men who were considered the "spiritually mature" but Jesus didn't really give much credence to them or their maturity.

His qualifications of maturity differ quite a bit from the religious institution of His day and still do to many of the churches of today that bear His name.  This week's teaching is about going from milk to meat and growing up in Christ.

We are children of God and we are free. Or at least we should be free. Why do so many people that call themselves Jesus followers, Christians, godly people, etc... live in bondage? Maybe it is because they have allowed the work of Jesus Christ to be full manifested in their lives. Maybe it is because they are used to the chains of bondage and have learned how to live with them. The list of why could go on forever.

Jesus said, "you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. And he who the Son sets free is free indeed". For anybody in bondage, to anything, those words should not only encourage you but excite you to the possibility of being set free from what it is that keeps you from being all Jesus destined you to be.

The law of sin and death were defeated on the Cross and through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. That is why He made those outlandish, bold and to many arrogant statements. But when you overcome death, hell and the grave there is pretty much nothing else that can compete with you. So, yes Jesus came to seek and save the lost and to set ALL the captive free.

As Children of God we are His sons and daughters that are destined for greatness. Not greatness like the world see it, fame, fortune, power, prestige. All those are self-centered and egotistical thing to chase after. The greatness our Father has for us is so much greater than what we could ever image. We have a purpose for our life.

That is why it is imperative to develop our relationship with our Father God so He can reveal it to us. Although we would like for Him to reveal it all at one time He won’t. It is a progressive revelation. He reveal more as we grow more. God has chosen to use people in this world to change this world. Why? Because God loves people. We are the “apple of His eye” so to speak. He prizes us above all created things.

We are not like animals, or trees, or the earth. We are much more valuable than that. God has done everything that He needs to do to set us up for greatness. Our job is to listen and obey. Yeah, easier said than done. That is why we must depend on and use the power of the Spirit of God living within us to be all He has destined for us to be
