Topic: How to be hungry for GOD and How to fill ourselves with His Presence every Second of our earthly existence

Bible passage-- Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled”


You need to know what happened to you by faith in the death of Jesus Christ Crucified on the Cross of Calvary


Things like
--The person you are from biological birth died inside the Crucified body of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary and became replaced by a new personality (Human and Christ) at the same time thus Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? *Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?* 6:2 *God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?* 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were *baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?* 6:4 Therefore *we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life*. 6:5 For *if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection*: 6:6 Knowing this, *that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin*. 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 6:14 For *sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace*."

--The Power of Sin cannot control this new person thus "Galatians 5:24 "And *they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts*."

--The Power of Righteousness controls this new person thus 2 Corinthians 5:14 "For *the love of Christ constraineth us*; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:"

--Every ancestral curse from Adam via lineage ancestry was cancelled together with their written codes, consequences and effects thus Colossians 2:10 "And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 2:14 *Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross*; 2:15 And *having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it(His death on the Cross of Calvary)*."

--Every principality and power which is waiting to enforce the ancestral written codes/patterns standing contrary against our lives were rendered powerless and publicly disgraced on the Cross by Jesus death in whose death our old-person/nature also died and became replaced by Christ Own Life as He had while in this earthly existence thus 2 Corinthians 5:14 "For the *love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again*. 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 5:17 *Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new*."

--You have been taken out of the powers of darkness and translated/transferred into the kingdom of God’s dearly beloved Son (Jesus Christ Crucified) inside whom we now have the forgiveness of all our previous sins which is our true freedom thus Colossians 1:12 "Giving thanks unto the Father, *which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light*: 1:13 *Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son*: 1:14 *In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins*:"

--The devil who has power of death over our lives because of Adam’s submission to disobedience has been destroyed over our lives by the power of Jesus' death on the Cross of Calvary thus Hebrews 2:14 "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, *He also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;* 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham."

--The fear of death which has kept all human being in bondage for *all our lives* from the point of Adam’s disobedience till date by the devil was also destroyed by the death of Jesus on the Cross thus Hebrews 2:14 "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, *He(Jesus Christ Crucified) also himself likewise took part of the same;* that *through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil*; 2:15 And *deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.* 2:16 For verily He took not on him the nature of angels; but *He took on him the seed of Abraham*."

--You are now justified; as someone without sin before the presence of AN ALL HOLY GOD; hence you now have *an endless relationship with the GOD-HEAD* which permits you to call God; your Father just like Jesus while on earth hence each prayer word or prayer-point you engage must begin with *Father, Abbah My Father...e.t.c.* thus Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, *boldness to enter into the holiest(the presence of the GOD-HEAD) by the blood of Jesus, 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh(His Crucified Body on the Cross of Calvary)*; 10:21 And having an high priest over the house of God; 10:22 *Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water*. 10:23 Let us *hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised; )* 10:24 And *let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works*: 10:25 *Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together*, as the manner of some is; *but exhorting one another: and so much the more,* *as ye see the day(the rapture) approaching*."

--As you call God; your Father, you will have an internal peace and joy and confidence that God is truly your Father, not something you are forcing yourself to believe or your pastor/preacher/priest is forcing you to believe; it is REAL thus Romans 8:15 "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; *but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father*. 8:16 The *Holy Spirit Himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God*: 8:17 And if children, *then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together*."

--As you call God your Father, or call the name of Jesus or talk with Jesus inside your heart or talk with the Holy Spirit, you will get an internal confidence that *all your sins, addictions or negative lifestyle, fears and worries* are *completely forgiven you by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB and you will not have any feeling of guilt within your heart* thus Romans 5:9 Much more then, *being now justified by his blood*, we shall be saved from wrath through him."

--You can boldly say inside your heart, with your mouth; in private or in the public with other human beings that you are holy by grace through faith in Jesus Christ Crucified at any point or phase of your life *not while committing sin or after committing sin* thus Romans 5:1 "Therefore *being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ*: 5:2 By whom also *we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand,* and rejoice in hope of the glory of God....Romans 5:9 Much more then, *being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him*."

--You can boldly declare that you are ready for rapture any time any day by His mercy and grace and the Holy Spirit Power sustaining and upholding your new creation life thus Hebrews 7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 7:24 But *this man(Jesus Christ Crucified), because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.* 7:25 Wherefore *He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him,* seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 7:26 For such *an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,* and made higher than the heavens;"

--You can boldly say that no sin or temptation can overtake you now or in the future by His mercy and grace thus Jude 1:24 "Now unto him *that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,* 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."

--We are now the righteousness of God by grace through faith in Jesus death on the Cross and His resurrection thus 2 Corinthians 5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

--Every need and desire of our earthly lifestyle is completely mate inside Jesus Christ Crucified thus "We are complete in him who is the head of all principalities and powers" (Colossians 2:10)

--We are situated/seated with Jesus Christ Crucified both in the seen and unseen realm *in the heavenly places above the overcoming power of any demon/devil/principalities/powers/challenges/negative-circumstances" (Ephesians 2:6)

--We are *equal priests and kings by the blood of Jesus death on the Cross of Calvary* (Revelations 5:9) which is actually the priesthood of Jesus Christ Crucified now dwelling inside our mortal-bodies

--Jesus is now the person living inside our mortal-bodies hence we have the hope of glorifying God in our secret thoughts and external behaviours as well as qualified for rapture any time the trumpet of the archangels calls. (Colossians 1:27)

--Every plan of the devil and his accusations is nullified by the blood of Jesus speaking mercy and better things over our lives each fresh second of our earthly existence even as the Holy Spirit controls us to manifest God's righteous and perfect-will effortlessly which is our testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified. (Revelations 12:11)

--The Holy Spirit is able to keep us without sin/blemish/wrinkles till the end as long as we keep acknowledging our human frailty and seeking to obtain mercy from His throne of grace so that we may always find and have grace to serve God acceptably with holiness and Godly fear all the days of our earthly existence thus 1 Corinthians 1:6 "Even as *the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you*: 1:7 So that *ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ*: 1:8 *Who shall also confirm you unto the end*, that *ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ*. 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord."

"But *the mercy of Jesus Christ Crucified* has overcome judgement/condemnation/human-frailty/guilt" (James 2:13)

--Romans 9:15 "For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 9:16 So then *it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy*."

--Hebrews 4:16 "Let us therefore *come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need*."

"....When the time is right, I the LORD(Father, Son and the Holy Spirit) will make it happen" (Isaiah 60:22b)

Hi

"And he said unto me, MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU: FOR MY STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." (2 Cor.12:9 kjv)

Jesus said, Remember always when you are engaging life issues/hurdles/trials/temptations/pleasures/heart-breaks/depressions/frustrations/confusions e.t.c.
That

I(Jesus; Your GOD and SAVIOUR) is with you not just admiring you *go through these issues of human living* but *He is inside our mortal-bodies engaging those issues of human living with us, for us, inside us and through us* untill the end of time"
(Matthew 28:20)


Because,
"It is inside HIM(Jesus Christ Crucified) we live,
Inside Jesus Christ Crucified we move,
Inside Jesus Christ Crucified we have our existence and expressions" (Acts 17:28)


In this New Creation life; bearing in mind the *complete mystery of His gospel which we believed* thus "Christ Jesus Crucified dwelling and expressing HIMSELF through our mortal-bodies; the HOPE OF OUR GLORY" (Colossians 1:27)

Great Grace Brethren!!!

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Jeremiah 51:19 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for He is the former/maker/creator/originator of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name. 51:20 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; 51:21 And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider; 51:22 With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; 51:23 I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers. 51:24 And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD. 51:25 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. 51:26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD.

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6 kjv)

the emblem of suffering and shame;
and I love that old cross where the dearest and best
for a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
and exchange it some day for a crown.

has a wondrous attraction for me;
for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above
to bear it to dark Calvary. [Refrain]
3 In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
a wondrous beauty I see,
for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
to pardon and sanctify me. [Refrain]

its shame and reproach gladly bear;
then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
where his glory forever I'll share. [Refrain]

Till her glory bursts forth.(Refrain)

thy furnace
Meet for my Master's use (Refrain)
