Go beyond pride to inner peace and joy. Set aside pride and find the humility that attracts the presence and grace of God. Learn to continually experience the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) spontaneously flowing from within you. “God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. (James 4:6)

Jesus talks.
Hear Him.
“My sheep
Hear My voice.”
Listen
Within.
“Don’t judge
People
Or condemn
Them.
Forgive,
Freely give,
And receive
God’s gifts.
Show others
The mercy
You want
To receive.”
Go do
What Christ tells
You to.
(Luke 3:22, Luke 6:37-38 John 14:15)

God spoke from Heaven
Over Jesus Christ.
This is what He said.
“Hear Him!”
It’s essential that
You learn how to hear
Him!

“No one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:11) If you want to know God’s thoughts you need to hear “words taught by the Spirit,” (1 Corinthians 2:13) not words taught by a human being. Listen to “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27)

Experience real Christianity. Live and demonstrate it every day — no program, no ritual, no controlling leader — just an intimate surrendered obedient never-ending Spirit-led relationship with the risen Jesus Christ and with other Christ-followers.

October is Reformation Month when many Christians celebrate and honor heroes of the faith who dared to boldly criticize church and tried to improve the way it functions. If those heroes (Luther, Calvin, Zwingly, Knox, and others) were alive today I think they would be speaking out for improvement in church once again! Let the risen Jesus be the literal Head and director of His body, not just the figurehead for human control to hide behind. Google: Beyond Church Ekklesia.

If instead of presenting Jesus as a mere weekly lecture subject, churches would train and release people to listen directly to Him, (John 10:27) obey His voice, (John 14:15) and actively demonstrate His presence and reality, (1 Corinthians 2:4) Christianity would “turn the world upside down” like it did in the first century. (Acts 17:18)

Here’s what Jesus says about people who go to church and all they do is sit and say, “Lord, Lord,” a few times before they return to business as usual. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven.” (Matthew 7:21)
