10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
The abundant life means to live a holy life not in the flesh but with prayer and supplication and to love God with all your heart mind & soul. You need to make decisions honouring your heavenly father in spirit & truth and rebuking those fire filled darts from the enemy. When you walk in newness with a refined heart you walk in the spirit aligned with Christ and the father who has come to make their abode with you.
Philippians 4:6-8
King James Version
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
There is no way to achieve this if you don't renew your mind. Romans 12:2 You can live your life which is a vapor here today and gone tomorrow and never learn or understand the way that Christ means or taught. It's achievable and it's the abundance of life that a person lives when they are in Christ and it leads to eternal life. We need to make honest decisions. He has to be our righteousness measurement and the person we go to to seek righteousness. He is Holy and so should the branches be. You cannot be holy if you cannot understand. It takes more than just reading God's word but that does help. You're going to forgive people and redirect and delegate your mind and thoughts and the direction of your life should be aligned with God's will. You can shrug it all off and say we're not under the law well then did not he come to give you an abundance of life and have you misunderstood? You know he said everything in this life particularly that is of the flesh is of the world and not of God. If a man loves the world and is loved by the world he does not have the love of God. You got huge icons that are worshiped by the world and they are miles apart from God because that's not God's way. God said I put life and death before you choose life.
And I'm going to give you one example of living in the flesh. Many people are addicted to many things. The Bible says what masters you will be your master. Some people are mastered by alcohol and they drive drunk and cause accidents and deaths. Why because they have a master which is unholy and with filth of indulgence. They act like the world and they stumble like the world. Just today it's probably the second time I saw this girl come and ask me for a cigarette walking towards me. I said to her I don't do that and I don't smoke but when I was young I did that. I said it's no good for you. You know what she said that talking on your cell phone can give you cancer and she made some other innuendos of what can you give you cancer. She said that her nanny smoked for years and she's completely fine. I told her that it's like driving your car when you know the brake shoes are bald and you can't stop it but you don't care. You just reason with yourself it'll stop. Then shortly after that I was on route to another location and a workman wearing a yellow vest made some mocking innuendo as I passed by about smoking and about coming to preach the gospel and I kid you not. Either he had seen me before or he was a child of the devil. I did walk by him and tell him many sinners will be in hell. I will puke the lukewarm preacher or Christian out of my mouth. It's not easy because it is written not to stand in the way of sinners and to seek peace. Don't let them steal your peace sometimes you have to turn the other cheek. So what is really important is to live in faith and to understand what faith really means. You might think this life is boring. A righteous holy life is not boring and it is the right way to live and the way God meant us to live. The way of the world might appear right because you have been accustomed to fornication and to living a life of unrighteousness but you are to follow the master. Look at what Christ told Apostle Peter when he gets old somebody else will be leading him to places he doesn't want to go and specifying what manner of death he will encounter to glorify him. He said to follow him which is a cross and many people deny that cross and ignore it and go around it. Even true Christians can simply say we're not under the law and he did it for me and I don't have to do it. He said pick up your cross and follow me and contend for the faith once delivered on to the saints. He said I send you out amongst the wolves. He said he who denies me before men I will also deny before my father. How can you love him if you can't stand up for those things that be of God. No God is completely against homosexuality and lesbianism and all forms of transgenderism. In the beginning God made the male and female and when these groups have a large protest what they are really doing is protesting against the God who created them. It's a sad state of affairs because in the end it leads to destruction. Nations that forget God are turned into hell. Look what Jesus said about Galilee that it would be easier for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment then for Galilee because if the works being the miracles and all the outreach that was done in it had been done in Sodom it would have repented in sack cloth and ashes a long time ago. 4:40 a.m July 9, 2022
