ONE YEAR OF WALKING IN THE FOOTPRINTS OF JESUS


ONE YEAR OF WALKING IN THE FOOTPRINTS OF JESUS…Connecting the Dots…!  My Sunday School class did this twice ending on June 24, 2015 and August 24, 2019

…We have followed in the steps of Jesus from HEAVEN…to  HEAVEN!
…We’ve read, observed, tasted, learned and experienced how Jesus lived in a human body
…how He fulfilled His created purpose to redeem the world from the bondage of sin;
And demonstrated how to live in this sinful world without participating in the sin and yielding to the flesh.
…He gave those who believed and were born again, His Very Own Spirit to finish His work by telling the lost in sin they have been redeemed.
…He returned to Heaven to prepare us a new home!

SO…where do we go from here?  What do we do with what we have learned and experienced?  What did Jesus say we were suppose to do while He was gone?

SUGGESTIONS: 
Remember His last words in Matthew 28:18-20 and Acts 1:8
***THE HOLY SPIRIT has been given…as our Teacher, Guide, Helper, Comforter and Constant Companion!  Galatians 5 (16)
***The Holy Spirit is A GIFT OF POWER!  He also gives GIFTS to those He indwells!
Check out:  ROMANS 12…I CORINTHIANS 12…EPHESIANS 4
***He unites THE BODY OF CHRIST and designates each BODY Part.  JESUS IS THE HEAD!

…Our Created Purpose, our Spiritual Gift and our Body Part in Christ are ALL perfectly fitted, matched and designed to produce an Abundant Life that satisfies SELF in EVERY facet.  It is who and what you were created for and God’s Completed Will for you!!! ...CONNECT THE DOTS!  

…We need to get personally, intimately, emotionally, lovingly, mentally absorbed, devoted and obsessed with the REALITY of HIS PRESENCE LIVING IN EACH OF US PERSONALLY!

***GOD THE FATHER, JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF GOD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD…ALL…HAVE AN ENEMY! 
He has many names, but we know him best as The Devil and Satan. 
He HATES GOD and all that belongs to HIM. 
He IS EVERYTHING OPPOSITE OF GOD…BUT, he is in no way equal to GOD. 
He was created by GOD and will be destroyed by GOD. 
He knows his days are running out so he is NOT holding back anything that would kill, steal and destroy ALL that is GOD’S!
(See JOHN 10:10 a summary of Life)
…DO NOT FEAR him!  We have the WEAPON that defeats him!  We must KNOW our WEAPON and be Expert with it…like any Good Soldier!  We MUST have an abundance of AMMUNITION…for the enemy is relentless!   (Begin with EPHESIANS 6:10-19)

***We have our ammunition of The Holy Spirit of God and The Holy Word of God so let us go forth empowered…Amen!

Planned studies to continue focus of Reality of Holy Spirit living in us and working through us: Ephesians;  1 & 2 Peter; Hebrews.
