Take a Deep Breath for the Words of Life
1/9/2024
Below are some “off-the-cuff cool things” Jesus said.
“Whose face is on this coin?”
“You must be Reborn.”
“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
“Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.”
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.”
Where did that stuff come from?
Did Jesus...
1. Have these cool one-liners memorized and ready to pop out when he needed them?
2. God the Father just spoke through Jesus’ mouth?
3. “The mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace” - Jesus took a deep breath and found the words that were not from his brain or experiences, not from being reactive or defensive or prideful—but rather had the aroma in His spirit of LIFE to grow the Seeds or to frustrate the enemy? Z-AXIS! Z-AXIS! Z-AXIS! Z-AXIS! Z-AXIS! Z-AXIS! (Available to you, to us!)
“Whose face is on this coin?”
“You must be Reborn.”
“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
“Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.”
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.”
These are absolutely not “cool one-liners” that fell from heaven and dropped out of Jesus’ mouth! This is the Zoe-axis of never letting circumstances take us out of the spirit, off of the Z-axis.
Take that deep breath.
“Don’t worry about what to say or how to say it. My Father will speak through you on that day.”
Don’t try to be clever or smart or “scriptural,” don’t jab or resist or attack or defend. Take that deep breath where “the mind controlled by the spirit is life and peace” and see where God takes that.
