More of Jesus

RELATING TO GOD & CONNECTING TO GOD STARTS WITH GOD

They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan–the one you testified about–well, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.” John 3:26

27 John replied, “A person can receive only what is given them from heaven…He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:30 LESS ABOUT ME & MORE ABOUT JESUS.

To mature physically we INCREASE but, to mature spiritually we DECREASE! “If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.” - Mother Teresa

“Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” Matt 10:39 Lose your life – What does it mean?

Not about me Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith... Hebrews 2:2

Not about Stuff Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.... Ecclesiastes 5:10 “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. Matthew 6:24

I become Less & Jesus becomes Greater, is not a formula, it’s a journey. "Never make a principle out of your experience; let God be as original with other people as He was with you.” - Oswald Chambers

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” Romans 12:2 “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ”. 2 Corinthians 10:5

PLAY THE BRAIN VIDEO

“Watch your thoughts for they become words. Watch your words for they become actions. Watch your actions for they become habits. Watch your habits for they become your character. And watch your character for it will become your destiny!” - Margaret Thatcher

Renewing my mind involves spending time with God! “ You are my friends if you do what I command. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you”. John 15:15

Renewing my mind involves daily obedience! Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey —whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? Romans 6:16

“The Renewing of my mind” can be measured by the time it takes from His words to my obedience!

“Watch your thoughts for they become words. Watch your words for they become actions. Watch your actions for they become habits. Watch your habits for they become your character. And watch your character for it will become your destiny!” -- Margaret Thatcher He must become greater; I must become less. John 3:30

But When God?
