Living the Life of Christ

Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Pastor Carl Tedford here!
 
Do you want to Live the Life of Christ in an Expert Way?
 
Then here is a simple, highly effective Strategy
Each of the Four Parts starts with an Action Word, spelling out something we Must Do.

1.  Stand on an Unshakable Foundation (Truth)
      Truth about: 

      God - how He instructs us to live

​     Ourselves - our weaknesses, our tendencies, our struggles                                                

• How we craft the weapons the devil uses to defeat us every time with our thoughts, habits, desires, emotions, attitudes, character, perspectives, biases, and resistance to meaningful change

 
     The Devil                                                                                                                 
     “Be well balanced, sober of mind, and self-disciplined, be alert, vigilant and cautious at all times; For that enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion (fiercely hungry), seeking someone to devour.  But resist him. Be firm in your Faith against his attack- Rooted, Established, Strong, Immovable, and Determined.

 I Peter, 5: 8-9

2.  Demonstrate Unfailing Commitment to Righteousness.

• When we stumble and fall, pick yourself up and immediately return to the Path of Righteousness for His Name's Sake
• Analyze why you failed and placed Boundaries and Safeguards to ensure Victory next time
• Employ the Proactive of Work of the Holy Spirit to Lead and Guide you and Forewarn you of the dangers of Self, Temptation, and Satan

3.  Deny yourself One Decision at a Time.  Do not be overwhelmed by the complexities of living life. Instead, focus on the important Choice to be decided Right Now. Deny your old nature and its desires, and do it God's way, One Decision at a Time.

4.  Make the Right Decision Everytime.  This is Righteousness with the Cumulative effect of compound interest over time, which pays rich dividends of joy, Peace, Contentment, Fulfillment, and Purpose  

So in review,
How do I live the life of Christ in an Expert Way?
Remember the Strategy
 
Stand on an Unshakable Foundation(Truth)
Demonstrate Unfailing Commitment to Righteousness
Deny yourself One Decision at a Time, and
Make the Right Decision Every Time.
