INDIVIDUAL!
I want to be one who inspires everyone, but is there really anyone who inspires everyone? There is One who has the capacity and that’s the Creator – and He lives in me. But He made everyone differently, so I can’t always see what others see, nor do they always see what is seen by me. And when I realize this it sets me free, just to be as I will be.
If I change to fit, then I won’t, because if I alter the puzzle, then the pieces don’t. I merely need to embrace my gifts and find my place, and not struggle to conform to another’s place.
I am as I am by I AM, so to find myself I yield to Him. As the others, I’ll never be the same, so to try to be – is just insane.
God made everyone individual and unique, so the one who’s different is not a freak.
Fear not to be as you are, because if you’re not, you won’t go far. You were created to be original, not counterfeit, so don’t worry if you stand out, or try to fit.
Be as you are, the way you were made to be, by I AM, and you’ll be free.
Only by being individual, can you fit, for its God’s puzzle, and the way He created it.
Here’s God’s saying to help ye:
“I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE” I am free to be me.

Dim or Delight
I don’t like the light in my closet. When you turn it on it gives a little light but then never gets bright. It promises to shine but then ends up inadequate. And it’s not that I don’t like drab light, it’s alright in the right setting. But what I don’t like is a light that’s supposed to be bright acting dim. It’s aggravating because it’s disappointing. When I flip the switch the first gleam gives me hope of good light but it never gets bright and my heart sinks because it’s not right. I think it’s because the nature of the Almighty within me loathes lukewarmness and I perceive that He says to me “Don’t let your light be disappointing!”
If you’re lukewarm it means that you had a chance to be hot and chose not. Don’t begin to be bright but then end up dim, for in mediocrity - the outlook is grim. God offers His Glory, so be filled to the brim, you’re called and created in the image of Him.
Delight in the Light and let it shine bright!
Rev 3:14-16
'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

NAKED?
I wonder what happened to the soldiers who wore God’s clothes.
John 19:23-24
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece. 24 They said therefore among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:
"They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots."
Therefore the soldiers did these things.
NKJV
The Spirit of God has tangible substance and ability to saturate and be transmitted through the molecular structure of things.
Mark 5:28-30
28 For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well."
29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched My clothes?"
NKJV
Matt 14:35-36
35 And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick, 36 and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.
NKJV
Acts 19:11-13
11 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.
NKJV
So what do you think happened to the soldiers who wore Jesus’ clothes? The Bible doesn’t specify but I’m inclined to believe that it was something supernatural.
Would you like to wear God’s clothes? And if you did do you think something supernatural would happen to you?
He’s not raining raiment from heaven but has poured out His Spirit so you can be clothed in the power that empowered the clothes.
Luke 24:49
49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."
NIV
Mark 1:6-8
6 Now John was clothed with camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, "There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. 8 I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
NKJV
Acts 1:4-6
4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
NKJV
Acts 1:8
8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…
NKJV
You have an invitation:
To be immersed in the essence of the Almighty.
To be supernaturally saturated with the substance of His Spirit.
To be filled with all of His fullness until you overflow with God’s Glory.
2 Cor 5:1-5
5 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, 3 if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
NKJV
“not because we want to be unclothed, but FURTHER CLOTHED, that mortality may be swallowed up by life”
If you’ve been clothed, you are clothed, but how clothed are you? Is your mortality being swallowed up by life? It’s possible to be filled to the full so that life becomes greater than death. To be so saturated that Satan, the spirit of fear, lack and all sickness and disease - merely flees, from the presence of the Almighty in thee.
James 4:7-8a
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
NKJV
And the revelation of the mystery is “Christ in you the hope of Glory.”
Col 1:27
27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
NKJV
Not only are you supposed to “hope in” but also to “have” the Glory of God. You’re called to obtain it.
2 Thess 2:14
14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
NKJV
And you shall obtain it because you’ve been “justified” so that the “hope of Glory” shall “not disappoint.”
Rom 5:1… 2… 5
5 Therefore, having been justified by faith… we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God…
…5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
NKJV
Eph 3:16-21
16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height — 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
KJV
John 19:23-24
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece. 24 They said therefore among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:
"They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots."
Therefore the soldiers did these things.
NKJV
The Spirit of God has tangible substance and ability to saturate and be transmitted through the molecular structure of things.
Mark 5:28-30
28 For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well."
29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched My clothes?"
NKJV
Matt 14:35-36
35 And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick, 36 and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.
NKJV
Acts 19:11-13
11 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.
NKJV
So what do you think happened to the soldiers who wore Jesus’ clothes? The Bible doesn’t specify but I’m inclined to believe that it was something supernatural.
Would you like to wear God’s clothes? And if you did do you think something supernatural would happen to you?
He’s not raining raiment from heaven but has poured out His Spirit so you can be clothed in the power that empowered the clothes.

CRUCIFY THYSELF!
“All I want to do is change the world!” usually really means, all I want to do is change MY world, or, I want the world to be the way I want it to be, I want it to change - for ME! Everybody wants to “Change the world!” but who wants to love the world, be the light of the world and lay down their life for the world? God did, but do we?
We want what we want and will try to use God to get it. Under the guise of goodness we go, but deep down we know, that our motives are low and we can’t truly live, until we let go.
Quit trying to change and improve your own life and just die already! You will never know yourself until you die to self. For there is One greater than self. But you can’t know the greater until you lose the lesser - your life that is. You want to “win the world” but the gain is found in loss. If you refuse to lose you can’t live.
Most people are focused on increase to increase and can’t increase because they need to decrease.
John 3:30
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
NKJV
Or they focus on decrease to increase when what they need is decease.
Gal 5:24
24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
NKJV
Gal 2:20a
20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me…
NKJV
Now this is a good theology. But for most “Christians” it’s more of a theory than a reality because they keep trying to get out of the crucifixion. By subtle subversion they believe there’s no need for self sacrifice. They avoid the pain of making the flesh abstain while trying to obtain the gain. But the pain remains because in death is gain. They’re obsessed to “be blessed” but they must die so it can be possessed. They cry and try, and pray and say, “Lord let there be another way!” But there’s only one way.
Matt 26:39
39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will."
NKJV
And the way is death and the deed is self denial. Crucify thyself. Not the body but the flesh, die to yourself and all of your own dreams and desires. You must be willing to give, and give it all! Before you can live, and live - at all. There are millions of prayers, but the purest one is, “NOT MY WILL, BUT THINE, BE DONE!”
Luke 22:42
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
KJV
2 Cor 13:4
For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you.
NKJV
Matt 16:24-27
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
NKJV
1 Cor 15:31
31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
NKJV
Gal 6:14
14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
NKJV
Rom 6:3-11
3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NKJV
Rom 8:12-13
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors — not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
NKJV
Gal 5:19-26
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
NKJV
1 Cor 1:18
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
NKJV
Col 2:13-15
13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
NKJV
Gal 2:20
20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
NKJV
2 Cor 5:14-15
14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
NKJV
Phil 2:5-11
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
NKJV
Rev 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
NKJV
Rev 2:10
Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
NKJV
We want what we want and will try to use God to get it. Under the guise of goodness we go, but deep down we know, that our motives are low and we can’t truly live, until we let go.

Phil 2:5-11
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
NKJV
Rev 12:11
