When we hear good news, it always bring about joy.
If we are not champion would Jesus loves? Let’s see.
JOHN 13:23 KJV
Now there was LEANING on JESUS' BOSOM one of his disciples, whom JESUS LOVED.
John is writing about himself.
God gives us exactly what we like!
Enjoy being spoilt by God
When you got born again, your spiritman is excited about heaven, what God has prepared for us.
God don’t want us to be separated from Him.
When you love someone you want that someone to be close to you
The joy the happiness the excitement can never be put inside a machine
God created our spiritman to be joyful!
Sitting down is a position of rest.

DEUTERONOMY 32:10 NKJV
“He FOUND him in a DESERT land And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness;
He ENCIRCLED him,
He INSTRUCTED him,
He KEPT (GUARDED) him as the APPLE of HIS EYE.

Moses when he was a leader, he was not been used by God.
When he finally was a shepherd and not a leader, he was been used by God
The world is by their own will power and ability
We are not subject to all these. Our journey in life is very different. To love Jesus is to know He first loves us.
Eyes is where we put our attention on. The eyes is the place of focus. The centre is the focus.
John was closing eyes when he lean on Jesus. He was resting on Jesus’ love.
We are the centre of Jesus’ attention
God put you at the centre of His attention.
Most importantly is to have attention of Jesus

“This is how much GOD LOVED the WORLD: HE GAVE HIS SON, HIS ONE and ONLY SON.
We decide whether we are loved and not loved by the 5 senses.
Love is not a feeling.
GALATIANS 2:20
What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn’t work. So I quit being a “law man” so that I could be GOD’S MAN.
Christ’s life showed me how, and ENABLED me to do it.
I identified myself completely with him.
Indeed, I HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST.
My ego is no longer central.
It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God.
The “trying to be” is law.
Anything self effort is law.
Spiritually we were all crucified
We don’t need to change our God’s mind to have good opinion of us. He already has good opinion of us
Can you see yourself as the one and only child through Jesus?
You have the standing in the spiritual. We are all champions in God’s eyes.
The old has been crucified.
GALATIANS 2:20 TPT
“My OLD IDENTITY has been CO-CRUCIFIED with MESSIAH and NO LONGER LIVES;
for the nails of his cross crucified me with him.
And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—
WE LIVE IN UNION AS ONE!
My NEW LIFE is EMPOWERED by THE FAITH of the SON of GOD who LOVES ME SO MUCH that he gave himself for me, and dispenses his life into mine!
It is the old man. The old self.
The old self is the one that needs to impress and do something to get blessings.
We just need to grow in this new life. New life of a champion.
COLOSSIANS 3:3 NKJV
For you died, and YOUR LIFE is HIDDEN with CHRIST in GOD.
God only see Christ and our life is hidden with Him
We are the wife of the champion
Jesus do all the fighting and He gives us the championship.
He fights so hard for the champion to be legally ours.
In the spirit we can hide behind Jesus! He won’t allow us to be hurt.
Jesus is our bodyguard!
PSALM 107:41 TPT
God raises up the poor and lowly with his FAVOR,
giving them a SAFE PLACE to live where NO ONE CAN TOUCH THEM.
God grants them a LARGE FAMILY and BLESS them!
Jesus chose to be obligated to us. He chose to be obligated to protest us and love us to our grey hair.
Why do we scare of growing old and nobody takes care of us?
The God of this universe said He will take care of us until our grey hair.
