ETERNAL LIFE!

Today's affirmation from A Year In The Now...


"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of Life – the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you . . . ETERNAL LIFE . . . therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us ETERNAL LIFE."
(1 John 1:1, 2; 2:24, 25)



Today I will live in the now! I will live in the now because I am living my life from the inside out: spiritually, first — mentally, second — physically, third. My reality is determined by the eternal part of me, where the fullness of the Godhead lives; I am a spirit being trying to find definition in the material world.


Today I will let that abide in me which I heard from the beginning — those eternal God-words that I heard when I was in Him at the creation of all things. I will base my knowledge on the speech of the spirit – those "I Am" concepts that my finite memory has not contained, but are still a reality in my inner man!
















Today I will be empowered and energized by my awareness of what is eternal in me. The transient events of the day will be trivialized by the triumph of the ever-living, ever-lasting Mind of Christ. The "eternal me" is bigger than the events of this day, so they will not be able to overwhelm or overpower me in any way!


Today I will examine the building blocks of my world-view, and whatever I find in my foundation that is not based on the fundamentals of eternal truths will be challenged to change. I will make the choice to begin to receive my information from the voice of my Creator, rather than from the alternative messages that I have received since my earth-birth.


Today I will take the concept of seeing the big picture to a whole new level, as I focus on the larger ideas of purpose and destiny. My life is more than my current circumstances — I am here for a reason — my life matters because it is a valid and viable part of the grand scheme of things. I will believe this until I can feel it.


Today I will be able to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, and still fear no evil, because I am alive forevermore. Death has no sting for me, because the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus liberates me from its grasp, and His eternal love produces fearlessness in me!


Today I will really live my real life, and today I will live in the now!


Father, help me to stay connected to my eternal life today.
In Jesus’ name, amen.

Now that I recognize my anointing, my Christ, I am one of the many brethren, I can sleep on the boat in the midst of the storm. God in me recognizes God in you. jeff

I love the tree pic. It reminds me of your message about the two trees. It was wonderful.

YITN, always perfect on the day and different each day, each year. Score !!!!!

I can feel it, the validity and viability of my life. I believe it. I see the big picture bigger each day.

I receive my information from My Creator, I Am with I Am.

My perception in my experience does not consistently coincide with the above.

The experience of it
