Way too deep for me too early in ...Oh my gosh Glen! Way too deep for me too early in the morning (of course others' late morning).<BR/>This is so true. It is cool that Jesus is showing you some of these things too. <BR/>Have you ever thought about how Jesus voluntarily gave up His power and authority (which are rightfully His), so He could come down to earth and truly be as men. Weak. He did not have the Holy Spirit until baptism, though it is His own Spirit, but He for go"ed" the power of the Spirit, so that He could truly stand for us, as one of us. He was baptized, not nearly as a matter of technically to set an example for us (though functions as that as well), but He needed the infilling of the Holy Spirit(His, but now with the power of the Spirit), to do the works that He was sent here to do. That is the same for us, we must be filled with the Holy Spirit, and allow Him to manifest in us as He wills, to do the work that He has, not what we think we should do.<BR/>Kind of weird, but I truly believed, that though Jesus is the Son of God, when He made Himself as man, He was as weak as we are. He had to pray often, and spend time with His Father, because He needed that spiritual manna to keep Him strong, and keep Him at a place where He was able to allow (His) the Holy Spirit to work. That is just has it is for us. Jesus did not come to earth to do His will, as He saw fit (though He is God, He allowed Himself to be weak and short sighed as man, and thus was just as needy of the Power of the Holy Spirit and relationship with the Father as each of us), but He willingly surrendered His will to the will of the Father, and allowed the Holy Spirit to guide and empower Him as He (Spirit - Father) saw fit. He really was as a man, just like us, and He stood for us, taking our punishment (all of ours) on Himself has a man (though He was only capable by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit).<BR/>Just some food for thought. But I think that if more lovers of Christ saw how He too surrendered Himself to the Holy Spirit, not choosing His will, but His Fathers (our Fathers) will, we might understand to take our eyes off ourselves, stop trying, and look to Jesus, surrender our lives to Him completely (efforts, understandings, will), then that is when we allow Him to fill us overflowing, and His works are accomplished through us by His will, strength, wisdom. And many times, I don't think we are even fully (or at all) aware that He has used us to accomplish His work at all (which helps keep us from the temptation of pride).<BR/>Again, just some cud to chew on. I really don't think as most, and don't really follow the crowed just to be following. <BR/>Love Always,<BR/>CarrieCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340233064194634976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134376417664046019.post-30714241049410990872007-10-05T06:17:00.000-07:002007-10-05T06:17:00.000-07:00Amen Glen!

He really is ALIVE and is more real than anything we can see, touch, taste, smell, or hear.<BR/><BR/>Oh how I pray for the saints of the Most High that they would embrace the personhood of Christ and seek after Him. They will not be disappointed. Jesus is glorious and His love is abounding to all who will receive it....personally.JesusBmyKinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955649369535453102noreply@blogger.com
