The Deeper Life: the deeper life is rooted in eternity. It begins in Him Who was in the beginning with God. God gives us eternal life.
The Higher Life: is the life Jesus is living for us at the right hand of God, and living in us, for it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me (Gal. 2:20}
The Inner Life: is all the life we have as Christians. It is the life hid with Christ in God. It is life real and sufficient, for we are complete in Him.
The Outer Life: is that expression of life that makes Christ known to others. “What you are speaks so loudly, men cannot hear what you say.”
Pray About Everything
“Call to me in times of trouble. I will save you, and you will honor me.” Psalm 50:15 (NCV)
Matthew 16:15-16
"What about you?" Jesus asked. "Who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." —
There is no other name under heaven that can save us (Acts 4:12). We are to confess Jesus before men, knowing that when we do, we can be sure he will confess us before the Father in heaven. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, our Savior and Lord. We may not know all the theological gravity behind those words — after all, Peter didn't when he confessed Jesus as Christ — but we can make a commitment to know him and follow him until we do know more. Jesus asks us to open our hearts to his lordship and begin the journey toward fuller knowledge and experience of him.
Time with God
“My efforts have no meaning when God’s presence isn’t there.
God will provide the power, if I take time to pray.”
Spending time with God WILL transform your life!
James 1:22
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
What we know and what we believe are not all that significant if they do not show up in the way we live our daily lives. Pure and simple, faith not lived out in everyday life is not faith; it is facade. Just as Jesus had told us to put into practice what we have learned from him, his brother James reminds us the same thing:
when we learn the truth of God's word, there is only one thing left for us to do: put it into practice!
