STAYING CONNECTED TO CHRIST 4-9-25 VIDEO
ABIDE-permeant position-unbroken fellowship and communion. Maintaining a Spiritually home in Christ. Its not our job to work for or earn what Jesus has already provided for us. Everything that now belongs to Him and through Him is ours. We are free from bondage. We abide in Christ. Nothing shall separate us from His love. Its a permanent position.
GEN 3: 8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9 But the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, Where are you? AMP
They lost God-consciousness and gained self-consciousness.
JN 15:4 Our seamless union, you in me and I in you, is pictured in the vine: the shoot cannot bear fruit outside of this union. In its abiding in the vine, fruit happens naturally - as with your abiding in me.
5 I am the vine and you are the branches; it is the one who understands this mutual union that naturally bears much fruit - which is impossible to happen apart from me. MIRROR
JN 15:7 My words find voice in you. With your abiding in me and my words abiding in you a conversation is inspired where you will request that which arises in your desire from our union and it shall come to pass for you!
8 These union-inspired desires bear the very fruit that endorses the Fathers glory! This is where true discipleship is born. MIRROR
JN 15:11 I have spoken these things unto you so that my joy will continuously infuse you - you dont have to invent your own if you can tap into mine! This is the ultimate bliss! MIRROR
JN 15:9 The love of the Father for me is my love for you - abide in my love for you! MIRROR
RO 8:1 With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ's being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud.
2 A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death. MSG
Ps 90:1 LORD, YOU have been our dwelling place and our refuge in all generations [says Moses].
PS 91:11 He ordered his angels to guard you wherever you go.
12 If you stumble, they'll catch you; their job is to keep you from falling.
13 You'll walk unharmed among lions and snakes, and kick young lions and serpents from the path.
14 "If you'll hold on to me for dear life," says God, "I'll get you out of any trouble. I'll give you the best of care if you'll only get to know and trust me.
15 Call me and I'll answer, be at your side in bad times; I'll rescue you, then throw you a party.
16 I'll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!" He ordered his angels to guard you wherever you go. MSG
HEB 2:14 Since all his children have flesh and blood, so Jesus became human to fully identify with us. He did this, so that he could experience death and annihilate the effects of the intimidating accuser who holds against us the power of death.
15 By embracing death Jesus sets free those who live their entire lives in bondage to the tormenting dread of death.
16 For it is clear that he didnt do this for the angels, but for all the sons and daughters of Abraham.
17 This is why he had to be a man and take hold of our humanity in every way. He made us his brothers and sisters and became our merciful and faithful King-Priest before God; as the One who removed our sins to make us one with him. TPT
COL 3:17 Let every detail in your lives - words, actions, whatever - be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way. MSG
1 JN 3:22-24 We're able to stretch our hands out and receive what we asked for because we're doing what he said, doing what pleases him.
23 Again, this is God's command: to believe in his personally named Son, Jesus Christ. He told us to love each other, in line with the original command.
24 As we keep his commands, we live deeply and surely in him, and he lives in us. And this is how we experience his deep and abiding presence in us: by the Spirit he gave us. MSG
1 JN 3:5 Surely you know that Christ showed up in order to get rid of sin. There is no sin in him, and sin is not part of his program.
6 No one who lives deeply in Christ makes a practice of sin. None of those who do practice sin have taken a good look at Christ. They've got him all backwards. MSG
1 JN 3:9 People conceived and brought into life by God don't make a practice of sin. How could they? God's seed is deep within them, making them who they are. It's not in the nature of the God-begotten to practice and parade sin.
10 Here's how you tell the difference between God's children and the Devil's children: The one who won't practice righteous ways isn't from God, nor is the one who won't love brother or sister. A simple test. MSG
1 JN 2:28 And now, children, stay with Christ. Live deeply in Christ. Then we'll be ready for him when he appears, ready to receive him with open arms, with no cause for red-faced guilt or lame excuses when he arrives.
29 Once you're convinced that he is right and righteous, you'll recognize that all who practice righteousness are God's true children. MSG
GAL 2:20 So here I am dead and alive at the same time! Im dead to the old me I was trying to be and alive to the real me which is Christ in me! Co-crucified, now co-alive! What a glorious entanglement! I was in him in his death; now I discover that he is infused in me, in my life! For the first time, Im free to be me in my skin, immersed in his faith in our joint-sonship! He loves me and believes in me! He is Gods gift to me! MIRROR
2 COR 5:17 Now, in the light of your co-inclusion in his death and resurrection, whoever you thought you were before, in Christ you are a brand new person! The old ways of seeing yourself and everyone else are over. Acquaint yourself with the new! MIRROR
JN 8:31-32 Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him. "If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure.
32 Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you." MSG
1 JN 4:13 His own Spirit is the source of this gift, of knowing that we are continuously, seamlessly and very consciously present in him and he in us. MIRROR
JN 6:56 The eating of my flesh and drinking of my blood is the celebration of our seamless union - you in me and I in you - because you wont find you until you find me!
57 As the living Father has sent me and also sustains me so will I sustain the one eating me. I live through my Father - just like my daily food sustains me, so his life permanently resides in me - now you may also continually and habitually feast on me and live through me! MIRROR
COL 1:27 Within us, God is delighted to exhibit the priceless treasure of this glorious unveiling of Christs indwelling in order that every person on the planet, whoever they are, may now come to the greatest discovery of all time and recognize Christ in them as in a mirror! He is the desire of the nations and completes their every expectation!
28 This is the essence and focus of our message; we awaken everyones mind, instructing every individual by bringing them into full understanding [flawless clarity] in order that we may prove (present) everyone perfect in Christ. MIRROR
1 JN 2:15 Don't love the world's ways. Don't love the world's goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father.
16 Practically everything that goes on in the world - wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important - has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him.
17 The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out - but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity. MSG
PS 37:5 Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way,
youll find he pulled it off perfectly!
6 He will appear as your righteousness, as sure as the dawning of a new day. He will manifest as your justice, as sure and strong as the noonday sun. TPT
RO 8:31 All these things point to one conclusion, God is for us! Who can prevail against us?
32 The gift of his Son is the irrefutable evidence of Gods heart towards us. He held nothing in reserve; but freely gave everything we could ever wish to have; this is what our joint sonship is all about. Everything we lost in Adam is again restored to us in Christ. Sin left mankind with an enormous shortfall; grace restores mankind to excellence!
33 God has identified us, who can disqualify us? His word is our origin. No-one can point a finger; he declared us innocent. MIRROR
RO 8:37 On the contrary, in the thick of these things our triumph remains beyond dispute. His love has placed us above the reach of any onslaught.
38 This is my conviction; no threat whether it be in death or life; be it celestial messengers, demon powers or political principalities, nothing known to us at this time, or even in the unknown future;
39 no dimension of any calculation in time or space, nor any device yet to be invented, has what it takes to separate us from the love of God unveiled in our Lord, Jesus Christ. MIRROR
