Many Christians say or do things that have no basis and no impact. Don't sell out for cheap emotional experiences and call it the spiritual life. Our pulpits are not teaching the Word of God. Churches are becoming Christian recreation centers. This is what allows the F.O.G. to settle across America (Failure of spiritual leadership. Open rebellion in the streets. God’s Word rejected). The spiritual life can’t be lived apart from the filling of the Holy Spirit and knowledge of God’s Word. God has a protocol. He expects the right thing to be done in the right way. Growing old is inevitable—growing up is optional. God mandates you to grow up spiritually. Spiritual growth requires you to choose to be consistent in the daily learning and application of God’s Word. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).

You can’t operate in the Christian life with an unrealistic self-image. An unrealistic self-image leads to unrealistic expectations and creates a role model out of self. A person with an unrealistic self-image can’t look into the mirror of God’s Word and see themselves as they really are because they don’t have objectivity. They are totally subjective and focused on themselves. Apart from Satan, arrogance is the greatest enemy of a Christian. “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord” (James 4:10) is a mandate from God. There is no substitute for humility in the spiritual life.

We are witnessing the loss of America’s client nation status and impending severe divine discipline. We have lost our focus on God and our spiritual vigor. “From whom much is given, much will be required” (Luke 12:48). America is under liability to the Supreme Court of Heaven. The future of our nation depends on whether enough Christians fulfill the unique spiritual life God designed for us. As the pivot of mature believers shrinks, then the nation loses its client nation status with God. A client nation is a national entity under the patronage of God that is assigned the responsibility for the preservation, communication and fulfillment of the canon of Scripture, evangelism at home and around the world, and providing a safe haven for the Jew. Believers within the client nation are said to be salt, preservation, and a light to the world. “You are the salt of the earth” (Matt 5:13).

Our Lord Jesus Christ said He would return for us. “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to Myself, so that where I am, you may be also” (John 14:3).

He paid our penalty. “He who knew no sin was made sin for us” (2 Cor 5:21). “Whoever receives Him has the power to become the sons of God, even to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12). Jesus Christ walked out of the grave alive and He is alive today. This is the meaning of Easter.

You have to decide whether you want to live a Christlike life or live the life the world offers. You’re being recruited by the world 24/7 through social media. Jesus Christ’s spiritual life during His earthly ministry is the template He left for us to live the Christlike life. “For you have been called for this purpose because Jesus Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps” (1 Pet 2:21). The power of Christ is the template. “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls” (Matt 11:29). This is an amazing promise from the Lord. Zugos is the Greek word for yoke. The yoke refers to using God’s grace provisions by means of the mentorship of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit uses the template to cut you into the Christlike life as you acquire the mindset of Christ by learning His Word. The zugos is illuminating and enabling. “I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength” (Phil 4:13). This is the power of Christ.

As a Christian, the best thing you can do is respect God and heed His mandates. When you obey God's ordinances, you get three things: length of days, long life, and peace. To reverence God and His Word is the most morally pure thing you can do. “The laws of God are correct and obedience causes rejoicing and enlightenment” (Ps 19:8). God’s ordinances provide warnings and unlimited blessings while you are living in the devil’s world. Being obedient is how you demonstrate you love God. “Whoever says, ‘I love God’ and is not obedient is a liar and the truth is not in him” (1 John 2:4). You can misdirect your love, which is very easy to do when you get occupied with the wrong things.

Do not complain is a mandate from God. Complaining is a sin and the sin nature’s number one pop-off valve. Complaining and serving the Lord with a superabundance of happiness are mutually exclusive. “Do all things without complaining or arguments so that you will prove yourself to be blameless and innocent children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world” (Phil 2:14-15). You can’t be a light without the filling of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God in your soul. The attractiveness of God’s Word is the light. Do not complain. “You are a letter from the Lord Jesus Christ to the lost world” (2 Cor 3:3). Shine.

Think about what you’re missing by not seeing with the eyes of your soul, by not having faith. Faith is the muscle of the spiritual life. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen” (Heb 11:1). Without faith you can’t please God. “Without faith, it is impossible to please God, for he that comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him” (Heb 11:6). With the eyes of your soul, you can have the confidence and assurance in the Biblical descriptions of what awaits you in the future. For your soul to see God’s promises you must have them in the mentality of your soul and then you can stand on faith and believe them.

Jesus told His disciples, and you, to get in the boat and quit making excuses (Matt. 8:21-22). You need to know the Bible to get God’s direction for your life. The Lord instructs you to do something very simple—obey Him. But you can’t obey what you don’t know, and you will never know what God has for you without learning the Scripture. “We have this treasure in our earthly vessels so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be from God and not from ourselves“ (2 Cor 4:7). God’s provisions are found in the Bible. They will help you if you learn them, use them, and operate on faith.

The power of Christ is accessed through faith by means of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. “God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Tim 1:7). Jesus Christ's spiritual life during His earthly ministry is our template for how to live the Christian life. The template is found in the Word of God. It is the mind of Christ. The Lord wants you to yoke up with Him, “Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me” (Matt 11:28-30). This yoke will give you rest and peace of mind. The power of Christ results in: compassion and graciousness, lack of fear, confidence, and protection. “So that the name of the Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you and you in Him according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Thes 1:12).

If you are going to evaluate your spiritual life properly you must not have an unrealistic self-image or a misguided assumption about what impresses God. “But he who glories, let him glory in the Lord. For it is not he who commends himself who is approved but whom the Lord commends.” (2 Cor 10:17-18) “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” (Luke 18:14)

There is a connection between what you think and your health. Anxiety produces mental-attitude sins, such as fear, anxiety and worry. Constant mental tension will eventually affect your health. The faith-rest drill is concentrating on God for perfect peace. “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You” (Is 26:3). God mandates that you should not be anxious about anything. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Phil 4:6).

People testing is one of the biggest problems you’ll have as you advance spiritually. The solution to people testing combines personal love for God and impersonal love for all mankind. Without this virtue love, you will surrender control of your life to others. “Be not deceived; evil company corrupts good morals” (1 Cor 15:33). We create evil companions by getting close to those who distract us from the Word of God. If someone maligns or slanders you, let God handle it. Don’t seek revenge. Take it to the Supreme Court of Heaven. It is open 24/7.
