As He Is, So Are We In This World

1John 4:17:

1Jo 4:17 In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world.

Jesus Is Lord of All, creator of all things in heaven and on earth, and all things where ever. When we stop to admire this about Him in us, we have the assurance of boldness of every moment is about Face to face with Him now, and forever. 

We can realize our need for closeness with Him and each other, in Him, and when He appears it is a completion of His love for us. We express this now by our lives and attitudes with everyone, at all times and through it all we attain His perfection in us.

This is what I think... "As a man thinks, so is he."

Prisoner/Praiser

JEREMIAH 32:1-7:

The Word of God came to the man of God, speaking to him about Nebuchadrezzer, and Zedekiah the king of Judah stationed in Jerusalem. The Lord told Jeremiah that Israel was going down, and the king that led them to this capture would be led by the king of Babylon, to Babylon. That king Zedekiah would not escape this down fall, but will look eye to eye and face to face, in speech at him, his greatest enemy, and God would do this. That was why Jeremiah found himself shut up in the court of guard, which was in the kings house. Also Jeremiah said by The Word, The Lord will visit you Zedekiah, and you Judah, for evil, and even if you fight the Chaldeans, you will not prosper.

The Lord said to Jeremiah, that his uncle will come to him and tell him to buy land in Anathoth, and buy the redemption rights to it....as a sign what will happen after the Babylonians took them over...

So he did that and had the deed witnessed and an unseal copy witnessed and then put it in a vessel that would keep it safe for a long period of time!

Jeremiah was placed in prison as A Praiser of The Truth!

In this day we are those who are "The I am's"...In Christ Jesus.
