Becoming A Spiritual Person in 2008





"All of us, at some point, need a miracle! That is when you really begin to appreciate and wish for MORE spirituality -- the power to, legally, tap into another dimension and alter the natural course of earthly events".









FOUNDATION: Does God See You As A Spiritual Person?





It does not matter if you think you are a spiritual person or if your associates think of you as "so spiritual". The only truth about who you are spiritually is what Christ Jesus says about us.


John 4:23-25 (King James Version)

23 "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."




A friend of God seeks to hear God's truth for the purpose that as soon as he or she knows that it is God's truth, the person realizes that God is speaking directly to him/her and abandons everything and everyone else to follow with God.




Friends walk together. That is why the phrase above, "follow with" God.
Most of today's relationships, even in the churches, are superficial, hypocritical, cheap and self-glorying. This can only be because people are that way with God.



Probably one of the greatest truths we may ever know from the heart and lips of Christ, Himself is this:






John 15:14-16 (King James Version)

14 "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you."

We shall cover these areas that block friendship with God:

Superficial, Hypocritical, Cheap and/or Self-glorying.




by God's grace, later today -- definitely by the weekend.
