Hello and thank you, and many are the blessings as patience has its perfect work in all those that would be willing to allow the letting…. Oh that our hearts might embrace the letting the more, for unto Him be all things… Blessings from a fellow follower, Not me

James 1:4 (NKJV) But let patience have [its] perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why do the words of truth put such a high value on patience having its perfect work….? It is because patience is the work horse of faith, being that patience is that that causes one’s eyes to turn away from themselves and look to Christ…. For this is the work of patience, for no other work is of more consequence in the believer’s life then getting one’s eyes off of oneself and onto Christ…. For this is the great lesson of patience, keeping one’s eyes off of anything other then Christ…. For if truth be known, whatever has one’s heart becomes that one’s god, patience being the work horse of faith that destroys the other that would take one’s eyes off of Christ… For patience waits for God to do something in one that that one cannot do for oneself, this something being, the forming of Himself in the believing one…. For this is what the salvation offered in Christ is, the forming of the Divine nature in the believing one, this new nature’s nature is not to sin just as the fallen nature’s nature was to sin….. For this new life, is that life that is created in the image and likeness of God, being the Three in one having Their image and likeness manifested in the creature, the Is, the expression of the Is, and the effect or consequence of that Is… For this word patience is translated, steadfastness, perseverance, endurance in other translations, all pointing to the same truth of maintaining the keeping and the looking to Christ regardless of any and all circumstances of life…. For it is when faith sees that righteousness does exist and it is the manifesting of this righteousness which is the manifestation of God’s will in all things… Patience being that work of faith that brings forth this manifestation of righteousness…. For without the manifestation of righteousness being manifested in one’s life the Divine nature is not being brought forth, in other words, Christ is not being formed in one… For patience’s perfect work is the bringing forth of the perfect image of this perfect Three in One God in one, each having Their respective image brought forth…. Oh that the heart of man would let patience have its perfect work, for the bringing forth of that expression of righteousness which is the Divine nature being brought to life in one… To him that would have it be done, let it be done unto….

Hello and yes, for it is the daily that causes growth… Oh before God may be that daily, blessings Farouk, may unto Him be our all…. A fellow follower, Not me

I’m of the heart that when one recognizes the daily draw, it is evidence of Christ being formed in one… Oh may the Lord increase that recognizing for our growing in Him… Many blessings, a fellow grower, Not me

I hold true that one’s death on the cross with Christ is the foundation of discipleship….. May that discipleship ever be increasing, a fellow believer, Not me

Luke 9:23 (NASB20) And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What part of our salvation are the words ‘take up his cross’ meant to portray…? The simplicity that is in Christ Jesus makes our salvation as simple as believing what God has said He did for mankind… This, what God said He did for mankind is believing that when Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world He did this by taking all of mankind with Him to death…. Thereby fulfilling the law that says, ‘the soul that sins that soul shall die’…. For mankind’s death with Christ on the cross is how Christ fulfilled the law concerning man, thereby God can be ‘both just and the justifier of him that has faith in Jesus’….. For to the degree and depth one believes this truth, to that degree and depth will that one walk in newness of life… For taking up one’s cross is one willingly taking their place, by faith, on the cross of Christ with Him, grabbing onto His death as one’s own…. Taking up one’s cross is meant to portray this faith that would willingly grab unto His death as one’s own death rather than sin…. For this is the purpose of this faith to free one from the power of sin that one was born under when they were born into this world…. For one’s death does free one from all the power that sin has over the believer, it is this willingness to believe in one’s death with Christ on the cross that is the faith that frees…. For this faith that is willing to die rather than sin is the faith that will experience Christ being formed in one, it being the new creation that sins not…. For it, the new creation is a new life that Christ needs to bring to life in one, this life man himself can not bring to life, but is something Christ can and will do if man will accept the salvation offered in Christ and choose to be dead on the cross with Christ…. Thereby as scripture says, ‘take up one’s cross daily’, meaning, that by faith remain on that cross through all the circumstances of life…. For this is the one and only way to be made free from all the influences of one’s fallen nature, which nature has been separated from one by one’s death on the cross with Christ…. For the believer is to live by faith, that faith being that when Christ died on the cross He took all with Him to death, taking up one’s cross is by faith holding onto this truth that He might bring to life in one the new creation without the hands of self tainting it with that which self can do, or, in other words, ‘that which is not of faith’… For our salvation is a free gift, it can have nothing of self in it so one might not glory in oneself but in what Christ Himself has done in and for one…. The cross being that place of separation, blessed are they that do indeed embrace by faith their death in Christ, for the salvation offered in Christ as a living reality will be experienced by the faith that so grabs unto this taking up one’s cross and by faith trusting Christ to live His life in and through, being that life that sins not…. For if one is not grabbing onto their death in Christ one is not taking up their cross and is leaving something on the table that was meant to be experienced by the believing one…. To the experiencing of the freedom of the new life that the cross brings to life in the believing one….. Unto Him, Not me

Your post caused by heart to rejoice, for it is true, the more one sees their need for learning, the more capable that one is… Oh, to fully follow after Him, blessings, Not me

Thank you for the scriptures and your thoughts, may we all grow up into Him that we might put a smile on His face…. Many blessings, unto Him be our all, a fellow follower, Not me

I would wholeheartedly agree with you, I hold true this is the truth being brought forth in; 1 Corinthians 4:4 (NASB20) For I am not aware of anything against myself; however I am not vindicated by this, but the one who examines me is the Lord. Paul was not aware of thing against himself, but just because he wasn’t aware of anything didn’t mean he did have any, then he goes on to say it is the Lord that is the One to say…. Many blessings as today, (Lord willing), we walk in more righteousness than yesterday, and tomorrow more still… To the growing in Him, a fellow grower, Not me

Thank you for the verses, and may you be blessed in the loving of our Lord….. Many blessings, a fellow servant of His, Not me

Thanks, I’m of the mind that that is why scripture says; ‘whatsoever is not of faith is sin’, be that because all the workings of self are sin… Oh to the knowing of Him the more,,,, many blessings, a fellow servant of His, Not me

Thank you for the sharing of your understanding, may God so bless the seeking one’s with such a knowing of Himself… Oh to that knowing, a fellow seeker after Him, Not me

I hold true that anything that self does is sin, it matters not what particular flavor of sin, just that it is the workings of self… May we all be blessed with the death of such a creature…. As we look to Him, many blessings, Not me Thanks for your thoughts, may you be blessed in your relationship with Christ as He is revealed in you… Many blessings, a fellow follower of His, Not me
