    John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

    The Greek word translated "life" in the scripture above is "zoe" and it means life in the absolute sense or life as God has it.

    Everyone who is breathing has life in the sense of physical existence, but only those who receive Jesus into their hearts can experience life as God intended it to be.

    Jesus came to not only save us from the torment of eternal hell, but also to give us this "zoe" or God-kind of life in abundance.

    In John 5: 26, we are told;
    "For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself..........and the Son has given the same life to those who received Him.

    The life of God is not awaiting us in heaven, but is presently possessed by every born-again person in his or her spirit. Glory!

    We can release this "zoe" life and enjoy it now by losing our natural life and finding this supernatural life.

    The way we lose our life is to deny any thoughts, emotions, or actions that are contrary to the Word of God, which is life ("zoe" in Jn. 6:63).

    When we line our thoughts, emotions, and actions up with the instructions of God's Word, then we will find this "zoe" life manifest in our bodies and souls as well.

    The Word is spiritual and must be understood through the spirit (1 Cor. 2:14). The Bible is simply a physical representation of Jesus and spiritual truth. It is inspired of God and therefore, totally accurate and reliable, and yet, until we receive the spirit that these words express, the Bible will not profit us (Heb. 4:2).

    If we want to know what spiritual truth is, we must believe the Bible, for it is spirit and life. It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63 NKJV)

    If we want to be led by the Spirit, then we must follow God's Word. If we want to hear from the Spirit of God, then we must listen to what God says in His Word. The Spirit (Holy Spirit) and the Word (Jesus - Jn. 1:1) are one (1 Jn. 5:7).

    In Him we have life!
    Step out with this understanding and see victory all around you.

    It's a resoundingly blessed week for you in Jesus name.

    WePrevail by His Word!
