Power Study A 44 - Notes

Luke 9:23 - "And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."

Luke 14:27 - "Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple."

Colossians 3:3 - "For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God."

John 15:5 - "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."

We do not try to crucify our self life. Instead, we access the ascended life in Christ and live from that perspective.

By abiding in Christ (basking in His love flowing into our hearts), engaging and developing a lifestyle of intercessory prayer, and praising and engaging in adoration to God through the scriptures, we maintain our daily walking in the Spirit.

The Psalms is a good source for this as they engage the 7 petitions in the Lord's prayer. Look for the particular Psalms that focus largely on adoration to God -- then personalize them and make them a part of your prayer life.

Example - Psalm 100:
I make a joyful shout unto the Lord now and forever,
I serve the Lord in my Christ calling with gladness,
I come into His presence with singing.
I am a son and heir of His Kingdom,
I enter His gates with thanksgiving,,
and His courts with praise,
I give thanks to Him and bless His name,
For the Lord is good and His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to eternity.
