WORD OF GOD

Luke 9:23

If you wish to be a follower of mine, deny yourself 
and take up your cross each day, and follow me.


---- Mine,the cross is a terribly hard thing to carry but if you truly desire to be Mine, to follow Me, to obey My command, then there is no way other than this to enable you journey from this life to the next. The cross is an inescapable fact; how you carry it determines the person you desire to be. It is not a one time event. Every day for as long as you live, you are required to pickup your cross whatever that cross may be, deny yourself what is often legitimate for a greater good. Self control, self discipline, self denial is possible only if you are truly humble and are prepared to give up what you want for what I ask of you. 

There is no easy way, ---- My Own, the road that leads to the Kingdom is narrow and hard and few take it. However, once you are committed to following Me I assure you that I will walk with you every step of the way.

WORD OF GOD

Ephesians 1:13-14

You, on hearing the word of truth,

the Gospel that saves you,

have believed in him.

And, as promised, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit,

the first pledge of what we shall receive,

on the way to our deliverance as a people of God,
for the praise of his glory.

---- Mine, having believed in the truth that that the father sent Me and that I in turn have poured on You My Holy Spirit who seals You in My life and Blood, and floods you with grace; believe also in the inheritance that the Father will grant to you as His child. For in believing in Me and in the Gospel that saves you, in being baptized with water, fire, and the Holy Spirit, you are a member of the household of God and as a child of God you are heir to the Kingdom of God. To you and to all who believe has been granted the fullness of life in My Spirit. Rejoice and be glad for your faith has saved you, has delivered you from slavery to sin for the sake of the glory, praise and honor of My Name in time and in eternity.
