Archived – September 7, 2025 View This Weeks Note View All Past Notes View This Note w/o Blanks Keeping A Positive Mindset Before Jesus Returns!(Part 4): Live From Fullness! September 7, 2025 Keeping A Positive Mindset Before Jesus Returns!(Part 4) Live From Fullness! 9.7.2025 Review In this challenging day, it is important to stay focused on Jesus and to seek FIRST the Kingdom of God! You are a spiritual being living in a physical body connected to a 3 dimensional world – height, width, and depth. We must put spiritual things first place in life if we are going to follow God and His will! This 3D world will give way to a New Heavens and Earth one day with probably more dimensions than we understand! There is already a recognized quantum reality or dimension in an invisible world of sine waves that connect us to the cyber world. That is what I call a 4th dimension. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is using this quantum (small and invisible) world to change people’s perceptions of things right now! And the global government in the future headed up by a global leader the Bible calls antiChrist will use this quantum or invisible and small world to connect with every person worldwide one day! There is another dimension – a 5th – that influences our world more than the quantum dimension of electronics and sine waves. That 5th dimension is the spiritual realm! There you find God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, the angels of God, fallen angels, demon spirits, and Satan himself. Last time , I talked about: 1. Living by faith and how this helps you keep a positive mindset before Jesus returns. Today I want to talk about: 2. Live from fullness! This will keep you from deception and from being deceived.! There is so much “chatter” right now. So much “noise” from so many places. That is the difference between now and when I came to Jesus in 1976. Now you MUST make a choice as to what you listen to every single day! Don’t live on empty! Double up on your Word time! The darkness outside will fill a spiritual vacuum inside! John 1:16 (NKJV) And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. We are spirit, soul, and body! We live from what is inside of us. We are to walk in the spirit, that is, let our human spirit, our spiritual life and our relationship with Jesus rule what we think, what we look at, who we hang out with, what we choose to listen to each day. Otherwise, you will fall into what Jesus called deception! Matthew 24:4 (NKJV) And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. Definition (Daniel Webster’s 1828 dictionary): Deceive 1) To mislead the mind; to cause to err; to cause to believe what is false, or disbelieve what is true; to impose on; to delude. 2) To beguile; to cheat. 3) To cut off from expectation; to frustrate or disappoint; as, his hopes were deceived. 4) To take from; to rob. They deceived the enemy by disguising the destroyer as a freighter. Listen to the synonyms of deceive: beat, beat out of, beguile, betray, bilk, buffalo, burn, cheat, circumvent, clip, con, defraud, delude, disappoint, double-cross, dupe, ensnare, entrap, fake, falsify, fleece, fool, gouge, hoax, hoodwink, outwit, rob, scam, swindle, take advantage of, take for a ride, trick, victimize. Delusion: An erroneous belief that is held in the face of evidence to the contrary. A false belief that is resistant to confrontation with actual facts. A belief held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 NKJV The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 1 John 2:21-23 – NLT So I am writing to you not because you don’t know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and lies. And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist. Anyone who denies the Son doesn’t have the Father, either. But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 1 John 4:1-6 – Modern English Version Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.This is how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and is already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world, and therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are of God, and whoever knows God listens to us. Whoever is not of God does not listen to us. This is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. Here is a list of behaviors that deception and delusion motivates: Lying, abortion, same sex marriage, transgenderism, homosexual behavior, lesbian behavior, pornography, living together without marriage, adultery, incest, relative values or values that change from person to person and in different situations, socialism, communism, control, atheism, lawlessness, fear, godlessness, amorality, divisiveness, inequality, rioting, violence, racism, borderless nations, compliance without questioning facts, and a one world government. And, here is a list of behaviors that come from living in fullness: Honesty, integrity, faith, hope, love, belief, trust, purity, care, support, life, health, optimism, community, godliness, transparency, prosperity, blessing, aid, confidence, family, marriage, forgiveness, mercy, grace, patience, friendship, kindness, brotherly love, confidence, fearlessness, prayer, peace, joy, faithfulness, honor. To remain free from deception and delusion today, and to live in FULLNESS, there is only one way – we must listen to and obey the WORD OF GOD. If we hear the word but do nothing with it, we will remain deceived and deluded, just like most of the world. But if we choose to listen to and obey the WORD and the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we can remain free in this strange day of deception and delusion. Don’t live on empty! Double up on your Word time! The darkness outside will fill a spiritual vacuum inside! 2 Corinthians 4:16 (NKJV) Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:16 (PHILLIPS) The outward man does indeed suffer wear and tear, but every day the inward man receives fresh strength. Proverbs 4:23 (NKJV) Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23 (MSG) Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that’s where life starts. As I minister, I deplete my spiritual energy and must recoup! You expend spiritual energy just living in a negative world! You must recharge your spiritual supply, and that must happen every single day! You cannot stand against deception and against the world, the flesh, and the devil if you are spiritually empty! You can’t live in FULLNESS unless you fill yourself up with something! And tht somethings needs to be the Word of God! What I am filled with controls me! Ephesians 5:18 (AMP) Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him. Ephesians 5:18 (CJB) Don’t get drunk with wine, because it makes you lose control. Instead, keep on being filled with the Spirit Ephesians 5:18 (Wuest – The New Testament: An Expanded Translation) And stop being intoxicated with wine, in which state of intoxication there is profligacy (recklessness). But be constantly controlled by the Spirit, If you are filled with the Word, what controls you? If you are filled with the Holy Spirit, what controls you? Live from fullness by spending time with God every morning! Exodus 16 and the story of God feeding Israel with Manna in the wilderness is an excellent example of our need to fill our spiritual tank every day. Our spirit needs food just the way our bodies need nourishment. Exodus 16:14-21 (NLT) When the dew evaporated, a flaky substance as fine as frost blanketed the ground. 15 The Israelites were puzzled when they saw it. “What is it?” they asked each other. They had no idea what it was. And Moses told them, “It is the food the LORD has given you to eat. 16 These are the LORD’s instructions: Each household should gather as much as it needs. Pick up two quarts for each person in your tent.” 17 So the people of Israel did as they were told. Some gathered a lot, some only a little. 18 But when they measured it out, everyone had just enough. Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over, and those who gathered only a little had enough. Each family had just what it needed. 19 Then Moses told them, “Do not keep any of it until morning.” 20 But some of them didn’t listen and kept some of it until morning. But by then it was full of maggots and had a terrible smell. Moses was very angry with them. 21 After this the people gathered the food morning by morning, each family according to its need. And as the sun became hot, the flakes they had not picked up melted and disappeared. Every one of us needs a fresh supply of spiritual manna every single day for our spiritual nourishment. We cannot live on yesterday’s manna! Job 23:12 (NKJV) I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food. Acts 20:32 (NKJV) So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. The Word is like a huge spiritual protein shake! Or better yet, like a well balanced meal after a workout. Philippians 4:13 (A. S. Way) No, I have learned, in whatever condition I am, to be independent of circumstances. I am schooled to bear the depths of poverty, I am schooled to bear abundance. In life as a whole, and all its circumstances, I have mastered the secret of living – How to be the same amidst repletion and starvation, a missed abundance and privation. I am equal to every lot, through the help of him who gives me inward strength. Living from Fullness means by default that you are putting the Word of God – the Bible into practice in your daily life! Without putting the Bible into personal daily living in your mind, in your actions, in your relationships, in your words, in your finances, in your work, and in your physical habits, you will be swayed by the culture around us! Psalms 119:89 (NKJV) Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven. Set feelings and emotions aside and act and live as though God’s Word is true! Romans 10:8 (NKJV) But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): The word that is in your heart will come out of your mouth! If it doesn’t come out of your mouth, is it in your heart? The Word is in me in the measure that I put it into practice! James 1:22-25 (NLT) But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. 23 For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. 24 You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. 25 But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it. Matthew 7:24-27 (NLT) Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.” Action Points: 1. Are you living by the Word of God in your daily life? 2. Are you putting the Word into practice? 3. Do you live from fullness within? 4. Do you take time every single day to feed on God’s Word and build yourself up spiritually?
