When God becomes our husband, it’s definitely not a religion.
Bible tells us a different kind of life.
A life that is meant for us.
John 1:35-37 TPT
The next day, Jesus walked right past where John and two of his disciples were standing. John, gazing upon Jesus, pointed to him and prophesied, “Look! There’s God’s sacrificial Lamb!” And as soon as John’s two disciples heard this, they immediately left John and began to follow a short distance behind Jesus.
John 1:38 TPT
Jesus turned around and saw they were following him and asked, “WHAT DO YOU WANT?”
John 1:38 TPT
They responded, “Rabbi (which means, Master Teacher), where are you staying?”
John 1:39 TPT
“Jesus answered, “Come and discover for yourselves.” So they went with him and saw where he was staying, and since it was late in the afternoon, THEY SPENT the REST of the DAY WITH JESUS.”
John 1:40-41 TPT
One of the two disciples who heard John’s words and began to follow Jesus was a man named Andrew. He first found his brother, Simon Peter, and told him, “We have found the Anointed One!” (Which is translated, the Christ.)
John 1:42 TPT
“Then Andrew brought Simon to MEET JESUS. When HE GAZED upon Andrew’s brother, he prophesied to him, “You are Simon and your father’s name is John. But from now on, everyone will call you Cephas” (which means, Peter the Rock).”
John 1:43-44 TPT
“The next day, Jesus decided to go to Galilee, where he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Come and follow me.” (Now Philip, Andrew, and Peter had all grown up together in the village of Bethsaida.)”
John 1:43-44 TPT
John 1:45 TPT
“Philip went to look for his friend, Nathanael, and told him, “WE’VE FOUND HIM! We’ve found the One we’ve been waiting for! It’s Jesus, son of Joseph from Nazareth! HE’S THE ONE whom Moses and the prophets prophesied would come!””
John 1:46 TPT
“Nathanael sneered, “Nazareth! What good thing could ever come from Nazareth?” Philip answered, “Come and let’s find out!””
John 1:47 TPT
“When JESUS SAW Nathanael approaching, he said, “Here comes a true son of Israel—an honest man with no hidden motive!””
John 1:48 TPT
“Nathanael was stunned and said, “But you’ve never met me—how do you know anything about me?” Jesus answered, “Nathanael, right before Philip came to you, I saw you sitting under the shade of a fig tree.””
John 1:49 TPT
“Nathanael blurted out, “Teacher, you are truly the Son of God and the King of Israel!”
John 1:50 TPT
Jesus answered, “Do you believe simply because I told you I saw you sitting under a fig tree? You will experience even more impressive things than that!”
“I prophesy to you eternal truth: From now on, you all will SEE
John 1:51 TPT
an open heaven and gaze upon the SON of MAN like a stairway reaching into the SKY with the messengers of God climbing up and down upon him!””
John 6:53 TPT
“Jesus replied to them, “Listen to this eternal truth: Unless you eat the body of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have eternal life.”
John 6:54 TPT
“Eternal life comes to the one who eats my body and drinks my blood, and I will raise him up in the last day.”
When we take communion, it is by faith.
Jesus has already healed us.
Nature of sin inside us has already been forgiven.
Jesus took away the root of sin.
When we take communion, it is a reminder that our sins has been forgiven.
No longer need to walk in condemnation, guilt, shame, fear and inferiority.
Automatically a slave of sin but Jesus has already took it away.
Today, we are the righteousness of God in Christ.
Eating and drinking is receiving His life.
Forgiveness of sins is powerful.
John 6:55-56 TPT
“For my body is real food for your spirit and my blood is real drink. The one who eats my body and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in him.”
John 6:57 TPT
“The Father of life sent me, and he is my life. In the same way, the one who feeds upon me, I will become his life.”
John 6:58 TPT
“I am not like the bread your ancestors ate and later died. I am the living Bread that comes from heaven. Eat this Bread and you will live forever!””
John 6:59-60 TPT
“Jesus preached this sermon in the synagogue in Capernaum. And when many of Jesus’ followers heard these things, it caused a stir. “That’s disgusting!” they said. “How could anybody accept it?””
John 6:61-62 TPT
“Without anyone telling him, JESUS KNEW they were outraged and told them, “Are you offended over my teaching? What will you do when you see the Son of Man ascending into the realm from where he came?”
John 6:63 TPT
““The HOLY SPIRIT is the one who gives LIFE, that which is of the natural realm is of no help. The WORDS I SPEAK to YOU are SPIRIT and LIFE. But there are still some of you who won’t believe.””
Man’s word without God’s word can only last awhile.
God’s word are spirit and eternal.
Spirit man has been activated.

Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, WE LIVE by EVERY WORD that COMES from the MOUTH of THE LORD.
Why we need to speed up the growth of our spirit man? Because if we don’t, we will be following the impulses of the flesh and lead us to death.
Today, we can overcome this flesh.
Eat daily spiritual food.
The Devil is always coming after our identity.
When we are spiritually hungry and thirsty, this is the time where the Devil comes into our thoughts to attack us.
IF WE WANT TO LIVE THE SUPERNATURAL LIFE THAT ONLY JESUS CAN GIVE, THEN WE NEED TO EAT THE SUPERNATURAL FOOD OF JESUS' WORDS THAT ARE SPIRIT AND LIFE!
It’s a choice that we can made.
