Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,

 “5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:  6 Who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,  7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.  8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death — even death on a cross!  9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,  10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,  11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:5-11 (NIV)

To be likeminded with Christ Jesus in thought, word, and deed endeavors toward the full stature of Him which requires our adherence to the Holy Spirit – Comforter, Counselor, and Teacher who reminds us of all things Jesus. God has a part and each of us has a part; and there is more that those “in Him” are to do before Christ Jesus’ return. That is, God has an active part and we have an active part which moves beyond the moment of salvation. The LORD God made one blood covenant with mankind after another through Noah until Abram, renamed Abraham who is called the father of faith because his actions gave evidence of belief in God and that he believed God. Those blood covenants preceded the mystery of God’s plan revealed through His seed born of a virgin woman – Mary who was engaged to Joseph (both of the line of King David), Whose Name would be JESUS; the only begotten Son of God was sent to exemplify how we were created to operate with dominion over all the earth.  

The Messiah – Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing walked in perfect obedience to the will of God the Father even unto death so that we might (free-will) be redeemed, reborn, and reconciled by the blood of Jesus as sons & daughters of God with all rights & privileges restored as heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ Jesus. To be an heir is to be a partaker of an inheritance which is for the living. In other words, an inheritance is for use on this side of heaven. The LORD God has called us into the kingdom of His only begotten Son. That those reconciled unto Him by the Blood may manifest the promises bestowed by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit with Whom we are sealed until the Second Coming of Christ. For we are blessed to BE a blessing for self and others, neighborhood and workplace, country and the world. “. . . Go ye into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature [of whole human race]. He who believes [who adheres to and trusts in and relies on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] and is baptized will be saved [from the penalty of eternal death] . . .” Mark 16:15-18 (AMP).  

Speak the promise . . . Harriet
