Living Like Christ - Lisa Patterson

Today we want to study Living Like Christ. Although it is impossible in our own bodies to be like Christ, we are the image of Him when we come into Him. We are Christ's creatures in this earth if we have made Jesus Lord of our life. The way to know is to accept him as your personal Saviour and Lord of your life. That means you will have no other gods before Him. He wants you to have a one on one realationship with Him. He wants our all-in-all. We cannot do anything of our own without the Lord Jesus Christ coming in to help us. We don't realize we are helpless creatures until we need Him and everything else has failed. The devil would want to get you to sway from the Lord and nor do anything by reason of being devilish, cornered, sly,skiddish,foolish,controlling,manipulating and the list goes on. There are ways to know the devil has been in your territory and it may not look like it because he's a master of deception. It is best to stay in God's

Word and refresh and renew your mind to the light of His Word. When you do the devil can't attack you as easily as he does when you're out in the world. He knows he cannot get past God. It is better to be up under the umbrella of God and live in a shack than to have millions of dollars and be up under the world with the enemy. He only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. That is the danger of him and he doesn't always come in so fast and fearce. That's why you need to study the Word and let it get into your spirit. For the foolish things of the world will encamp you and make you think you are in the right place. But it won't be long you'll see the truth. God will show up because someone has prayed for you. There is always somebody the Lord sends to pray for you. We must realize that is how much God loves us. He gave His only begotten Son that whoever would believe on Him might be saved. He does not pull and tug you. He is a gentleman. He will never force himself on anybody and when He does come, you will know it by the peace that accompanies Him. Dear Lord Jesus, please take this time to hear our petition to come to you with our whole heart. We need you today and love you today. And want you into our lives. We humbly ask for your forgiveness of our sins.
The Lord would say , "  It is time to come to Him completely and hold His hand. The enemy would want you to think that everything is coming down on you and nothing is happening that you have been told. So be of good cheer because He is come to take you by the hand and love you like you have never been loved before. It's a new yr. and there are gifts waiting and surprises inside. So come and get yours today!"
Help us to be more like you and be the person you really created us to be. We thank you for all you have done for us and all you're about to do. Let us shine a light to the lost world to let them know about the Lord Jesus and what he has done for us. We ask for our prayers to be answered according to your perfect Will. We need you today. You died for our sins and we thank you for that. No one else would do that for us. We also know that when we die it is eternal and there's no turning back. So we ask you to help us get in with the right fellowship of people to help keep us where we need to be with you. Thank you for cleansing us of all our sins. We ask in your Holy Name, Amen. This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that God Loves You and wants you to come to Him today.
