Becoming Friends with Jesus: Unveiling a Deeper Connection

Are you looking for a deeper connection with Jesus and a greater understanding of God's plan for your life? Together we will explore the profound message found in the Book of John, specifically in chapter 15, verse 15, which invites us to be friends of Jesus rather than mere servants.

"Jesus is not only one to save, but Jesus wants to have friends."

This statement is a powerful reminder that our relationship with Jesus goes beyond the concept of Him being our savior. He longs for a meaningful friendship with each of us.

John 15:15 - Transitioning from Servants to Friends 

The key passage is John 15:15, which says, "I no longer call you servants
because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."

Here, Jesus makes a significant shift in how He relates to us. He no longer refers to us as servants but as friends. This change in terminology signifies a deeper, more intimate relationship.

Understanding the Servant-Friend Distinction

Towards the end of Apostle Abraham sermon, he points out that a servant may not fully understand the master's actions and might not be privy to the master's secrets. In contrast, a friend enjoys a closer, more open relationship.

Think about it in terms of your personal relationships. You might not tell your sibling everything, and there might be certain things you wouldn't share with your best friend. But with your best friend, you are more likely to open up and reveal your deepest thoughts and secrets. The same principle applies to our relationship with Jesus.

Becoming Friends with Jesus

If you desire to comprehend what God is doing in your life and be a part of His plan, you must strive to become a friend of Jesus.

The invitation is extended to all - to take that step and establish a deep, meaningful friendship with Jesus. This connection will give you unique insights into God's purpose for your life and grant you access to the secrets that only friends are privy to.

In conclusion, MKMI GA invites you to transform your relationship with Jesus with us. Instead of just seeing Him as a savior, embrace the opportunity to become His friend. By doing so, you'll gain a deeper understanding of God's purpose for your life and discover the hidden secrets that only friends of Jesus can access. So, why wait? Start your journey towards a closer friendship with Jesus today.

Understanding the Enemy: Unveiling Satan's Tactics

In the journey of faith, understanding the adversary is as crucial as knowing the path to salvation. Scriptures such as John 14:30-31, John 10:10, Acts 10:38, 2 Corinthians 2:17, and Proverbs 6:16-19 shed light on the nature of our adversary—Satan. Satan, the archenemy of humanity, employs various guises to deceive and manipulate. From the serpent in Eden to influential figures throughout history like Hitler, his tactics remain consistent: to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Notably, Satan doesn't always appear in obvious forms. He once used Peter to tempt Christ (Matthew 16:23), and even Judas, one of Christ's disciples, fell prey to his influence (John 13:27). Saul, the persecutor of Christians turned apostle, was also manipulated by Satan (Acts 9:1-5). Acknowledging Satan's existence is not to give him undue power but to arm oneself against his schemes. Christians are reminded that "our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against t...
