KINGDOM OF GOD - JESUS' FINAL WORDS

God is a spirit.. nobody knows what He's like, but we know that Jesus is like God
-our destiny is not what we do but what we become
-everything we do in life is so that we can be Christlike
transformed (process) to conformed (result)

we must not mistake the vessel for the treasure! the vessel is not the main thing
-the real treasure is the spirit within us, spiritual life
-the church, our bodies are the vessels

3 commands between power and presence

-simply by believing in Jesus is not enough.. even the demons knew Jesus
-a disciple wants to learn abt everything Jesus teaches now and forever

only if we are Christlike, only then we can enjoy God
God is one being in 3 persons
-no self-centeredness
-love is the core attribute of God
-to be immersed in the love of God all day long
the only way to know God is being transformed by His love
1. scripture study
2. Jesus is always in prayer
3. Jesus fast
4. Jesus worshiping every week
6. Jesus spend time talking abt the kingdom of God
7. Jesus always in silence and solitude.. the most impt
-Christianity is not knowing God but fully known by God
-dont worry what others are doing.. we are not to compete with others...
-cultivate the fruit of the spirit
-we must work, but not in a way that burns us out, not affecting our spiritual life

-God often use the painful times to get our attention
-power, wealth and prestige is not wrong in itself.. but if they are distractions, then its not worth it
