IT IS IN EXPERIENCING GOD THAT OUR LIVES ARE CHANGED: CHARLES PRICE
Here are my notes from Charles Price (Living Truth Ministry 5th April 2010 (Easter)
It is in experiencing God, The “Mystery of Life” that our lives are changed – through union with Christ.
“It’s in our weakness that God’s strength is made perfect.”
“Without Me, you can do nothing.” – John 15
“It is My Father living in me.” – John 14:10
Enabling, empowering, living in dependency on God.
“Apart from Me you can do nothing.”
Jesus taught spiritual principles enabling God to work supernaturally THROUGH Him.
“Jesus Christ was never less than God; but he never lived as more than a man.” In other words, Jesus subjected himself to limitations and he drew on resources you and I can also draw on – God, the Ultimate Source.
“The Son can do nothing by Himself.” – John 5:19
“By myself, I can do nothing.” – John 5:30
Do things THROUGH Him, rather than FOR Him.
Matthew 15:36, John 11:41
Jesus continually(or should that be constantly) acknowledged dependency on His Father. (Thessalonians 5:18, Colossians 3:17)
Say: “I believe in the Holy Spirit.” “I can’t; but You CAN!”
Jesus was always giving thanks (to the Father). Develop an “Attitude of Gratitude”.
Believe it, then you’ll see it!
The language of faith is not ‘please’, but ‘thanks’ (in advance).
Acts 2:22
The humanity of Christ. A “man” who demonstrated what true humanity was meant to be. It’s His (God’s) responsibility. Let Him loose in you.
John 14
Spirit of Truth, Church of Holy Wisdom
The way we live in union with Jesus resembles the way Jesus Christ lived in union with God.

God needs human beings in partnership, our hands at work, together with a regeneration of spirit …to help peace become a reality for others.
Christ chose US, the ‘little ordinary people’ to go out and change the world… for the better. He doesn’t have a Plan B. It’s up to US to implement His Plan A, being the hands, ears and eyes of Christ to help heal a hurting world…today
“Lord,
Use my ‘little’ life as a vehicle for Your endless possibilities

Hi
CAN’T KEEP UP…BUT THANKS FOR THE “THANX”
I’ve had many many hundreds of thousands (even “zillions”) of comments on my various other WordPress blogs at https://craigsblogs.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/craigs-list-of-blogs-updated-sept-2011/
in recent years …true!) …a few of my blogs (including this one) went “balistically viral” a few years back.
Obsessive or WHAT! Am really pleased you are enjoying my writings, as the reason I write is to share. However I am unable to keep up with the comments and was spending entire days just on replies on my various blog pages.
Though I’m rather “driven”, I still get really, really fatigued (there’s a few books there). so sorry can’t reply individually to all you good people scattered around the planet, but DO try to read as many as possible daily (and even moderate a few when I get a “mo”), I got swamped with comments on my various blogs, so have had to close them off on all of my blogs, except for one or two of particular interest to me
Sorry and hope you can understand.
* “Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”
~ Franz Kafka
I do really appreciate your liking, linking to and/or following this blog (and “writing in”), so “thanks for the thanx”
“As we live and move and have our being, so from this vision, we create heaven in our own lives… and perhaps even heaven on earth.”
– craig (as inspired by Acts 17:28 and the words of Felicia Searcy)
“Aim at the earth and you may not get off the ground.a
“Aim at the stars and you may reach the moon.”
“Aim at heaven and you’ll have earth thrown in…
and you may even hit the stars.”
– craig (as inspired by the famous quote by CS Lewis – 24th May 2012)
“When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”
– Leonardo da Vinci
When (or if ever) you arrive in heaven, let faith, hope and love be the wings that carried you there.”
– as adapted from the inspiring words of Jonathan Edwards, former minister in New England, Massachusetts
“The Greatest Race: Living by (with) faith, hope and love is the highest podium any person can reach, God’s podium that anyone stand on.”

“Having pursued the goals, the dreams set before us and run the race with persistence and endurance, after giving it all. Then one day standing on the summit of life, breathing in the pure sweet oxygen of achievement, totally satisfied in running the greatest race, the race of life one that ANYONE can run and win.”

“If a man is called to be a street-sweeper,
he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted,
or Beethoven composed music, or
Shakespeare wrote poetry.
He should sweep streets so well
that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say,
here lived a great street sweeper
who did his job well.”
– Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

Instead of trying to reply to each one of you, I’ll just keep on writing (which I’m often told is what is “safest” for me!)
“If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I’d type a little faster.”

“I wish you well on a rainy day
I wish you rainbows to brighten your day
To feel your quiet moments with a special kind of warmth
to remind you that happiness can happen
when you least expect it.
I wish you rainbows to make you laugh and smile
to show you the simple beauty of life
and to give you the magic of dreams come true.
I wish you rainbows
I wish you well.”
– Larry S. Chengges
”Since I can never see your face,
And never shake you by the hand,
I send my soul through time and space
To greet you. You will understand.”
