Your death, through humbling yourself to serve those who do not deserve service, and Love while refusing thoughts of darkness, likewise release power to set both you and them free from Satan’s grip. Each time you do the actions that are the opposite of your old ways, then your old self dies a little. I then replace what died with a new nature which comes from Me – a nature of pure Love and Light. You sacrifice self-interest through an action and I replace it with selfless Love. You sacrifice thoughts of bitterness and revenge and I replace them with an attitude of mercy and forgiveness. You sacrifice preservation of pride and I give you beautiful, honest humility. This is how your daily deaths will be become your transformation into a new creation. Matthew 22:37-39 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And ha second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Galatians 2:20-21 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God–this is your true and proper worship. John 12:24-25 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. “He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. John 14:23 Whoever loves me will keep my word, says the Lord, and my Father will love him and we will come to him. John 14:15,21 Jesus said to his disciples: “… whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”
