WHO IS "THE REAL, THE TRUE, THE LIVING" JESUS?
Just sharing some thoughts on the LIVING Jesus (see https://thelivingjesuschrist.wordpress.com/)
“Man is looking for better methods, whilst God is looking for better people.
God’s method (plan) is simple: 
it’s PEOPLE.”
Picture (top)
– from Charles Price (Living Truth)
Spirit brings you into union with God. God is at work in you and through you (even we “ordinary” people, yet with extra-ordinary faith).
“Lord,
Fill me with Yourself (a ‘triple-helping’ please, as my good friend, Lindsay (‘The Prophet’ daily requests)”
and God does…always!
Charles Price from www.livingtruth.ca/
PS:
Homework (“oh no”!: Read John 17 and Acts
“The Son can do nothing without the Father.”
“I am here to fulfil.”
Whatever He says, DO IT!
Listen. Ask for His co-operation.
God is the initiator of anything significant.
Jesus gives a command.
Every act is precipitated by an act of obedience.
Depend on Him. Just TRUST
He takes the ordinary and produces the extra-ordinary – his raw material is the ordinary.
God does things you and I could never do… so revealing His glory. Jesus’s disciples put their faith in Him.

THE (MY) GREATEST RACE
Paul had a purpose in living – he had the single-mindedness of an athlete in training. St Paul lived with a selfless attitude in serving and giving.

HOW TO TURN THE ORDINARY INTO THE EXTRA-ORDINARY
Here are my notes from Charles Price (Living Truth Ministry 30th August 2009)
My Note:
Where the term “Him” is used, use whatever term which you use to describe God, Source of Life
*
“The Son can do nothing without the Father.”
“I am here to fulfil.”

Listen. Ask for His co-operation.

THE (MY) GREATEST RACE
Paul had a purpose in living – he had the single-mindedness of an athlete in training. St Paul lived with a selfless attitude in serving and giving.
What we put into our minds determines what comes out in our words and actions. Paul tells us to program our mind with thoughts that are true, honourable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and worthy of praise.
Don’t let anything take your eye off the goal – knowing Christ. Focus all your energies towards winning the race.
Shine your light brightly for Christ, the One who makes the ordinary extra-ordinary.

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.
Charles Price www.livingtruth.ca
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

I’m in my Father. Union with Christ enables us to function efficiently. The key is giving THANKS. You are experiencing your dependency on God. Put faith in God and allow Him to work in YOU.

Living in Faith and Gratitude (from Charles Price)
Here are my notes from Charles Price (Living Truth Ministry 10th April 2010) Web site: www.livingtruth.ca
The language of faith is THANKS – acknowledging our dependance on God (it’s a relationship of love and dependancy). Book ‘Experiencing God ‘ by Henry Blackaby and Claude King. With Faith in the Farther, Jesus could do anything… and we’re even more dependant on Him (working in and through us). God is at work around you. He invites you to work WITH Him.
“I can’t do it, but YOU can.”
“With God, all things are possible!”
My “little” comment (I see God and Jesus like a “partnership, a creative presence”….as “co-workers/co-drivers” with me each step of the way along the amazing journey of life) *
Peter preached the humanity of Christ. He exhibited true humanity. God working in the Son. Jesus working in us and THROUGH us.
“Jesus was never less than God, but he never lived as more than a man.” – Charles Price
” If you love God, you can live as you please.” – St Augustine
John 15, 17:20-21
His desires are our desires His motivations are our motivations Then His will becomes our experience.
I’m in my Father. Union with Christ enables us to function efficiently. The key is giving THANKS. You are experiencing your dependency on God. Put faith in God and allow Him to work in YOU. Say: “My agenda today is YOURS.” TRUST and OBEY! Say ‘Yes’ to Him! YOU (God) are the initiator of everything. “The Son” can do no nothing without the Father.”
Faith is trust in an object – which does things for you (This makes you less conscious in the exercize of your faith).
We all need a focus for faith, on which to “hang” it (and Jesus is that focus for my faith).
Acts 2:22.
We don’t become clones. Jesus uses our unique personalities and gifts. He is the Source.
Paul: “Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.”
We are His workshop expressing himself. Allow Him to fill us with Himself. I place my trust in YOU.
Charles Price www.livingtruth.ca

LIVING IN TRUST AND DEPENDANCE (by Charles Price)
With submission to Christ, then life on earth makes sense
(by His Word and through His Spirit).
Christ gave new life through a new spirit – His Spirit (immense)
“I have come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly.”
Christ gave His Spirit that you may live …more abundantly
Christ is in YOU
* I look to You
* I trust in You
* I depend on You
“If any man is in Christ, he is a new creation.”
The spirit involves personal transformation – a new spirit and a new mind.
“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

LIVING IN TRUST AND DEPENDANCE (by Charles Price)
With submission to Christ, then life on earth makes sense
(by His Word and through His Spirit).
Christ gave new life through a new spirit – His Spirit (immense)
“I have come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly.”
Christ gave His Spirit that you may live …more abundantly
Christ is in YOU
* I look to You
* I trust in You
* I depend on You
“If any man is in Christ, he is a new creation.”
The spirit involves personal transformation – a new spirit and a new mind.
“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
(Romans 12)
Christ is in YOU
Christ gave Himself to live in you …humbly
We can live in dependence (quiet) in Him
Allow Him to work through you.
“I abide in Him, the Father”
– words of Jesus
However, it’s the Father in me does the work – it’s a partnership (like a co-driver/pilot)
Christianity (applied) is a relationship – one of mutual dependence.
“I by myself can do nothing””…however
You can do it…and together we can do it!
It’s a change of consciousness, our mindsets.
Say to yourself: ” Let Jesus do what seems ‘impossible’ in and through me.”
This was the essence, the core teachings of Jesus Christ.

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.
“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.

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’s in our weakness that God’s strength is made perfect.”
“Without Me, you can do nothing.” – John 15

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.

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

HOW TO TURN THE ORDINARY INTO THE EXTRA-ORDINARY
Tags: Jesus, Jesus Christ, Charles Price, Faith, inspiration, empowerment
Here are my notes from Charles Price (Living Truth Ministry 30th August 2009)
My Note:
Where the term “Him” is used, use whatever term which you use to describe God, Source of Life
*
“The Son can do nothing without the Father.”
“I am here to fulfill.”
Whatever He says, DO IT!
Listen. Ask for His co-operation.
God is the initiator of anything significant.
Jesus gives a command.
Every act is precipitated by an act of obediance.
Depend on Him. Just TRUST
He takes the ordiniary and produces the extra-ordinary – his raw material is the ordinary.
God does things you and I could never do… so revealing His glory. Jesus’s disciples put their faith in Him.

THE (MY) GREATEST RACE
Paul had a purpose in living – the single-mindedness of an athlete in training. He lived with a selfless attitude in serving and giving.
What we put into our minds determines what comes out in our words and actions. Paul tells us to program our mind with thoughts that are true, honourable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and worthy of praise.
Don’t let anything take your eye off the goal- knowing Christ. Focus all your energies towards winning the race.
Shine your light brightly for Christ, the One who makes the ordinary extra-ordinary.
Charles Price
