Episode 18: Philippians 3

Today's meditation is based on Philippians 3 from the Passion Translation 
I never limit my joy, or fail to rejoice in the wonderful experience of knowing my Lord, Jesus Christ. I am heart circumcised and worship God in the power and freedom of the Holy Spirit, not in laws and religious duties.  I boast in what Jesus Christ has done, and not what I can accomplish in my own strength. All of the accomplishments, I once took credit for, I have now forsaken and regard them all as nothing compared to the delight of experiencing Jesus Christ as my Lord. To truly know Him, means letting go of everything from my past and throwing all my boasting on the garbage heap. It's all like a pile of manure to me now, so that I may be enriched in the reality of knowing Jesus Christ and embrace Him as Lord in all of his greatness.  My passion is to be consumed with him and not clinging to my own righteousness, based on keeping the written law. My righteousness will be based on the faithfulness of Jesus Christ, the very righteousness that comes from God.  I continually long to know the wonders of Jesus more fully, and to experience the overflowing power of his resurrection working in me. I haven't yet acquired the absolute fullness that I'm pursuing, but I run with passion into his abundance, so that I may reach the purpose that Jesus Christ has called me to fulfill and wants me to discover.  I don't depend on my own strength to accomplish this. However, I do have one compelling force, I forget all of the past, as I fasten my heart to the future. I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal, and gaining the victory prize, through the anointing of Jesus.  I cling tightly to my life giver, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform my humble body and transfigure me into the identical likeness of his glorified body, through his matchless power. Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing. ---- Planetary Presence
