True Devotion

JOHN He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

JOHN Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

1. Circumcise the Heart 2. Put you in love

BEING.LED.OF.THE.HOLY.SPIRIT_ MINNEAPOLIS.MN SUNDAY_ E-53 You can know Him, but is there feeling, a feeling, a real love feeling, a real fellowship? That's the way, that's the secret to the success. That's the way, is a real genuine love that's not put on. It's real and God knows it's real. And so does Satan know it's real, when you love the Lord with a real genuine love.

HIS.WONDERS.TO.PERFORM_ CHICAGO.IL SUNDAY_ A E-37 You don't know Christ by hallelujahs. You don't know Christ by dancing in the Spirit; that's an attribute. You know Christ by knowing Him as a Person that's come into your heart in the form of the Holy Ghost, and taken your sins away, and planted an undying faith in a resurrected Lord Jesus. That's the only way. Not by an intellectual conception, but by a new birth to change you.

HIS.WONDERS.TO.PERFORM_ CHICAGO.IL SUNDAY_ A And you're changed from the creature that you once was. That's how you know Him. Then you dance in the Spirit. Then you can clap your hands, as it was, or whatever emotions that the Lord puts upon you. That comes afterwards. But you can have that without having Him. There's the trouble. See? Be sure that it's right. And you'll know it by what kind of life it makes you live, by the love and the faith that's in your heart to Him. If you're Abraham's child, you'll have Abraham's faith, for that's what made him a servant of Christ.

I JOHN 4 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

GALATIANS 3 13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:

II CORINTHIANS 5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

MIGHTY.CONQUEROR_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ E-46 The Bible said that His Blood and water separated from each other, and any doctor or anything can tell you, that knows the chemistry of blood, that only sorrow will do that. He never died from a Roman spear; neither did He die from a nail drove in His hand or His feet, but He died of a broken heart, being rejected. "He came to His Own, and His Own received Him not."

LIVING.DYING.BURIED_ JEFF.IN EM 1-14 SUNDAY_ S...and died a death that no creature could die except God Himself...

LIVING.DYING.BURIED_ JEFF.IN EM 1-14 SUNDAY_ S...the very creatures of time, that He'd die to redeem, had spit in His face...

LIVING.DYING.BURIED_ JEFF.IN EM 1-14 SUNDAY_ S 31 Man will never know what that was. That's the reason there could be no one else could ever die like that. I don't care how much that you could be tormented, how that they might put your feet in stocks, or saw you by inches, or burn you by inches; you could not die that death, because your makeup's not like that. He had to be God. He had to be more than man in the makeup, God died. He died of a broken heart, with such grief for the world, until a chemical reaction taken place in His body that could not take place in you. You cannot suffer like that. There's no way for you to have that kind of a grief. So there's only One could do it, and He did it.

LIVING.DYING.BURIED_ JEFF.IN EM 1-14 SUNDAY_ S He had on a robe and they tore it off of Him and gambled for it. He was embarrassed to the utmost.

PSALMS 22 6 But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

PSALMS 2211 Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there is] none to help.12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan have beset me round.13 They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening and a roaring lion.14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

PSALMS 2215 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

PSALMS 2217 I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

PSALMS 69 1 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.2 I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I took not away.

PSALMS 69 7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

PSALMS 6914 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.16 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

PSALMS 6917 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.18 Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries [are] all before thee.

PSALMS 6920 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there was] none; and for comforters, but I found none.21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

GOD'S.PROVIDED.WAY.OF.DEALING.WITH.SIN_ PHOENIX.AZ FRIDAY_ But there's where He conquered death. There's where He conquered hell. There's where He conquered the grave. There's where He conquered for your peace. Hallelujah. There's where He conquered your feelings.

MIGHTY.CONQUEROR_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ E-21 And as they went out, He'd conquered the grave. And then there was a great mist hanging over the earth yet, so He had to conquer that mist of sin, that mist of stench of the sins of the people. And with His own Blood, His vesture dipped in Blood, He conquered the atmospheres above. Blessed be His holy Name. He cut the fogs of hell from place to place, until He cut a hole through the sky that Adam's lost children could pray through to the victory. He conquered the atmospheres. He conquered sin. He conquered death. He conquered hell. And He rose triumphantly.

John 6 [AMP] 44 No one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me, and [then] I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day. 45 It is written in [the book of] the Prophets, And they shall all be taught of God [have Him in person for their Teacher]. Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father comes to Me.

118-1 SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4 The cloudy skies and storms of life are no signs of God's disapproval. Neither are bright skies and still waters signs of His love and approval. His approval of any of us is only IN THE BELOVED. His love is elective which He had for us before the foundation of the world. Does He love us? Ah yes. But how shall we know? We shall know because He SAID SO, and manifested that He did love us for He brought us to Himself and gave us of His Spirit, placing us as sons. And how shall I prove my love to Him? By believing what He said, and by conducting myself with joy amidst the trials that He in His wisdom allows to come to pass.

MATTHEW 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
