I am so thankful you decided to join us today! Online Shout Out! May the Lord bless you richly as you seek and serve him. This is the 9th Month—->A September to Remember——->Fullness. Our Series is called “Wholly Living.” “Wholly” definition: Entirely, Completely, Totally, Abundantly, Fully.

John 10:9-10 (NIV): “I am ‘THE GATE;’ whoever ‘ENTERS’ through me will be ‘SAVED.’ They will come in and go out, and find ‘PASTURE.’ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have ‘LIFE’, and have it to the ‘FULL.‘” 

Living Holy Is Wholly Living

Living Full is Fully Living!

Jesus Said, “I Am The Gate,” The Door —> Thyra (Gr): A portal or entrance (the opening or the closure, literally or figuratively). In a parable or metaphor: the door through which sheep go in and out; the name of him who brings salvation to those who follow his guidance. “An open door” is used in the opportunity of doing something. “The door of the kingdom of heaven (likened to a palace) denotes the conditions which must be complied with in order to be received into the kingdom of God. 

The Kingdom of God Is A Gated Community 

Jesus Said, “We Come In and Go Out.” The Car Wash = I have a sticker that has a sensor, and it opens the gate! We Have “Access” To The Heavenly Realms. 3 Heavenly Realms: Atmospherical, Celestial, Majestical. Ephesians 2:6 (NIV): “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” 

“Asking” Comes With “Access.” John 16:23 (NIV): “In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.” 

Jesus Said, “We Will Find Pasture.” Pasture = Nome (Gr)–Land of Supplies, Typically for Feeding;

Also, means a place of increase or growth.

Jesus Said, “Unless You Eat and Drink of Me There Is No Life In You.” Fullness Doesn’t Come Without Feeding. John 6:53-54 (NIV): “Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.’”
