Christ is Risen!
He has willed to love us - with the Heart of the Man, Jesus Who is God, the Son of God, and the anointed Christ – has risen from the dead.
"The new kingdom which my Father is about to set up in the hearts of his earth children is to be an everlasting dominion. There shall be no end of this rule of my Father in the hearts of those who desire to do his divine will."
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Jesus the Way to the Father
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will knowmy Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
John 14:1-6

“SANCTIFICATION”
By nature, I am
Selfishly centered, Always
Ambition bound.
Desires are to please,
Not God, but my fellow man,
My ego grows large.
My love reaches out,
Only to find my pleasures,
Are not those of God’s.
Wrapped in vanity,
My soul glued to my nature,
God’s will is hidden.
My selfish nature,
Blinds me from brotherly love,
Serving only me.
I hid from God’s love,
Yet my soul craves salvation,
In Fatherly love.
Holy Spirit lead!
Teach my heart to love others,
Man's true brotherhood.
Open up my heart:
Transform my worldly pleasures,
Into God’s service.
Come Holy Spirit,
Come live in my heart today,
I AM your servant.

The Spirit of Truth
And I will send to you my Spirit of Truth.
"But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come."
John 16:12-14
