Through Christ We Talk Like God

“He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself so to walk, even as He walked.” 1 John 2:6

I know that we have just begun our studies together on what salvation means and there is so much more that the Holy Spirit is going to anoint us to study about what we have. But right now, this very second, we need to desire in our prayer lives and in our hearts, that our Father begins to speak and use phrases through us just as the scriptures that we study do. Through the anointing of the Holy Spirit we should talk like our Father talks. We need to begin to desire to speak and use the Words that our Father uses! Words like, “today is the day of our salvation and now is the accepted time." Or Words like, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Our Father wants all men saved and He has given us a new heart and a new spirit so that we are empowered with His desires to want the same! And in Jesus' Name, those who come against us, will be as Paul was and they shall be saved. There is nothing wrong with boldly seeking and proclaiming openly God's Truths! We should talk like our Father talks. We are born of Him and He is alive within us; it’s our heritage, it’s who we are in Him, and it’s Who He is in us! Out of the abundance of our hearts, our mouths will speak our Father's Truths!

Over the next several sections we are going to discuss what salvation truly means. Before we move on though, ask yourself this one simple question, what exactly is salvation? Think about it, pray about it, and ask others about it. If your experience is anything like mine, you will marvel at what you hear. Even though the term is used in virtually every church service, and being used by Christ to lead people to salvation is the purpose and goal of all believers, it is often an extremely difficult question for some to answer: what exactly is salvation? Our Father is not a God of confusion; He wants each one of His children to be fully enlightened with all of His Truth. Our Father wants us all to know Him intimately, and He wants us all to be completely and accurately equipped with the Truth that will set us and the world free! Salvation is awesome; it for everyone, and it is now! We have been given the Holy Spirit to teach us all of the things that pertain to our salvation through Jesus Christ! We are all one in Christ and through Him we should be of one heart, one mind, and one accord!

Be blessed this day in the power of our Fathers might and through Christ, our Father is able to be all that He is within us this day! And hold on, because what we are about to study together will absolutely set us, our families, our friends, our coworkers, and the church, free. A-men!
