"Then God spoke to Moses, telling him, "I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but I was not known to them by my name 'the Lord.'" 

"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth" (Acts 1:8)

In continuation of my last blog post, how do we "stay" in Him. Let's look at what Jesus model for us in this.  How did He live in this world and experience all the trouble we experience yet remain joyful at all times?

"These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full." (NASB)

This is my adaptation of Psalm 23. 

“The one who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and the one who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And the one who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. The one who has found his life will lose it, and the one who has lost his life on My account will find it" (Matthew 10: 38-39 NASB).
