Acting Like Jesus
As believers in Jesus we are offered tremendous provision! Christianity stands alone in these provisions and an available personal relationship with our Creator. (2 Peter 1:3-4 TPT)
THE PROVISION
Whoa!!! Talk about loaded verses. It would be good to return to times of mediation in the Word to adequately mine the richness of the Scriptures. How much has God given us!!! Our first understanding must come from the fact that before we can function in something – something or Someone must be put imparted to us! I love the wording of these powerful passages regarding this extravagant gift. “Everything we could ever need has already been deposited in us by His divine power!” WOW!
The word translated “power” is the Greek word dunamis. We generally take to mean miraculous power. Literally it means “force” and can be translated “ability.” He has freely and lavishly deposited within us this powerful force through knowing Him. Beyond anything else, knowing Him is the richest most wonderful gift.
However, let’s not stop there but receive what that relationship provides for us…a partnership with His divine nature!! It just gets better and better. Not only has He deposited divine ability within us but He wants us to participate in His very nature. This translates into the practical side of one’s relationship with God. Being a Christian looks like something…it is something that should be evidenced in our day to day lives!! That’s why Jesus said: (John 14:15 AMP)
Our love should look like something…there should be a difference in the lives of those in relationship with God who are partakers of the divine nature, having His force or ability working through them. There are many ways we could go with this but let’s just continue on in the context of Peter’s Second Epistle.
THE PARTICIPATION
I don’t know about you but I am anxious to participate in and with that Divine nature!!!(John 8:48-59 TPT)
These verses are more than an equation. They are a blueprint for a lifestyle that will produce Christlikeness in each of us and we will also be active participants in the fruitful life God has planned for us! I WANT THAT!!! And if I do – the first thing that I must do is to be devoted to this! We are devoted to many things but only we know where our heart’s devotion is directed.
Out of this devotion we will supplement what we believe with actual goodness. Now that is a broad stroke but it’s living in a way that is opposite of the evil that is in this world system, abhorring anything that is against the principles and actual display of the love of God. (Romans 12:9-10 TPT)
Once we are devoted to love and goodness we must press on into understanding. I believe one of the greatest needs of our hour is to snap out of our cultural stupor and be alert and discerning! This will then translate practically to our function of self-control with a desire to suppress the works of the flesh and express the life of the Spirit! (1 Thessalonians 5:5-8a TPT)
This drunkenness is not with regards to alcoholic beverages as much as it is with alertness and unimpaired awareness to the Lord’s ways and His leading! Functioning in this type of a lifestyle will then produce a patient endurance, a will to hold up under the adversity of our day and remain steadfast and immovable! (1 Corinthians 15:58)
Out of this solid, sustaining faith will grow godliness…we will continue to look more and more like Jesus and His life lived out. In real time that will translate to an expression of mercy and unending love towards those around us. Our relationships and the way we treat each other will express Jesus to the world. We will be the most merciful, forgiving, longsuffering, ever-loving people…evoking curiosity towards Christ! (1 John 2:5-6 TPT)
This is the ultimate goal! To walk in His footsteps, to walk as He walked, love as He loved, give as He gave, and live a life that is pleasing and fruitful for the glory of the Father!
As lovers of Jesus, let’s be encouraged by these powerful verses written by our brother, Peter. He was such an example of a life transformed by the power of God working in Him! This is available to us! Let’s be wildly devoted to a life lived for the glory of the Father!! Much love from all of us at WILD!

If Jesus acted like this one on social media then I would not want to have nothing to do with Jesus https://hcongrove2.com/2025/11/11/miss-you-know-who-you-are/ so I am happy that I knew Jesus before I met Heather Congrove. What Heather Congrove said about me was hurtful, but she is too stubborn to see that. I don't want anything to do with Heather Congrove because she turned me off from being her friend. I don't want anything to do with her friends. She has nothing Godly about her. She says, “I devote my time to reading the Holy Bible,” but I will blast someone on my social media accounts because she made me upset, so I am going to make her upset, but two wrongs don't make a right. If you don't want Godly advice then do you want to change your life around to become a Christian. When you are slandering someone's name on social media then you are making Jesus look bad. You have called me some hateful names, but if I was not a Christian then I would not want a relationship with Jesus because I would think Jesus would want to ruin my reputation online, but that is not who Jesus is, so you are not representing me at all. Your friends are not representing Jesus at all. If you don't want to listen to my advice then I am going to walk away. If you want to call me names then I am going to have to walk away from Heather Congrove. I am just laughing at Heather's Congrove because each time she talks bad about me then she is not representing Jesus, so that is one her hands not my hands, but I am not sorry about that. I don't need to call her names because two wrongs don't make a right. That is meant to call me unstable. She called me unhinged. It is not nice to say, “She is not mentally unwell.” She is not a Christian by her actions online. She can talk about God all day long, but that does not matter to me because she talks, but she does not act, so she is the one that is double minded, not me. If you liked this post then I pray for you. If you commented on this post then I pray for you. I am doing my journaling this morning. If Heather Congrove turned you away from Christianity then I will pray for you. Her friends can turn you away from God too, so I will pray for you. I don't want anything to do with Heather Congrove. I don't want anything to do with her friends. They are getting my focus off my relationship with God then Jesus too because of what they are saying about me online. I am very disappointed in Heather Congrove. I am very disappointed in her friends too. They have poor behavior online. I have emailed them, but none of them have replied back to me, so they don't have anything to say to me when I confront them about it. They can talk behind my back, but they don't know how to tell me that in a message, so I would say that it is a cowardly thing to do. I have no problem telling it to people because I don't gossip about people. You can keep talking to me, but I will keep enjoying my life. I love my life. I want to be happy because I want to help God reach other people out there. I am not abusing anybody. I am not doing anything to anybody, Brittany. I saw Brittany that liked Ms Anthrope’s post, but I don't know if that is her. Right now, I am having some down time. I already read the Holy Bible this morning. I still have to rewrite Genesis 29 in my notebook later today. I am not going to put up with this drama anymore. If someone is claiming they are Christians then they are mean to you, so don't think Jesus is that way because Jesus would never be mean to you. Jesus loves you. Jesus does not want to harm you. If something bad happens to me then Jesus did not do that. Things happen on this Earth that we cannot explain. God is the only one that can change you. Jesus is the judge of the world. Jesus did not come to Earth to condemn the world, but to save the world. Jesus did not come to save the sinners. Jesus loves you, so he wants the best for you. God is the Father. Jesus is the Son. The Holy Spirit is always around us. I am sorry that Heather Congrove has ever hurt you, so don't think Jesus is like Heather Congrove. Do not think Jesus is like her friends because Jesus is nothing to do with her friends when they act like that. Some of her friends are Buddhist. She has friends from different countries. People from different countries can be Christians too. I don't know what else to say about this drama. Let me tell you if you see friends with Ms Anthrope then she will get your eyes off your relationship with God then Jesus https://contentedmisanthrope.wordpress.com/ too. It is not right for an adult to do things to a child https://contentedmisanthrope.wordpress.com/2025/11/04/blaming-victims-instead-of-perpetrators/ either. Then Ms Anthrope says, “She believes in a loony bin with a straight jacket on here,” but https://contentedmisanthrope.wordpress.com/2025/10/17/friday-vibes/ ignore her. Ms Anthrope claimed that I was harassing this person https://contentedmisanthrope.wordpress.com/2025/10/03/obsession-is-kinda-funny/ but I never talked to this person in my life. I have never seen this WordPress account in my life https://torncorners.com/ so don't start making up lies about me. She deleted the other posts that people made about me because Bubblybackwash is my friend, so she no longer thinks about me like that. Ms Anthrope you were harassing me https://contentedmisanthrope.wordpress.com/2025/09/27/psa-about-the-psycho-stalker-repost-??/ so you are lying about me again. You are calling me a stalker, but you are the one that called me a prostitute, a woman that sleeps around, worse than a sex offender, Christian terrorist, psycho, lunatic, Meth addict and you have called me other names too. She took my friend, Jenn T Bubblybackwash’s posts down, so thank you for doing that https://contentedmisanthrope.wordpress.com/2025/08/07/somebody-stop-me/ so be safe. I would rather be a female dog in a circus then a mean person https://contentedmisanthrope.wordpress.com/2025/09/04/thursday-vibes/#respond sorry. Heather Congrove behaves like Ms Anthrope https://contentedmisanthrope.wordpress.com/2025/09/11/the-freak-is-finally-gone/ so that is not a good thing. I think she took some posts down about. I don't know what else to say about these people. I know they don't know Jesus. I know they don't know God. They don't know the Holy Bible. Now, you are making lies about harassing other people. I don't know most of these people that liked the post about me. I don't know anybody that made a comment about me on that post. I have talked to Ms Anthrope. I have talked to EarlThePearl137. Some of those people that liked the post about me subscribed to me on WordPress. I don't know what to say about this situation. After I am done with this paragraph then I am going to send it as an email. I am going to share the link on my Blogger through text too. I am just going to have a good day. I don't know what else to do today. I am going to print these pages out today. I have to go pay a bill. Then I will go get my pills. Then I am heading home. I am getting my tonsils out tomorrow. They are going to call me when they are ready to do the surgery. I am going to go home that day. They told me how painful it is going to be. You will have a hard time swallowing after you are done with the surgery. You are going to eat soft foods. I have a lot to talk about today. The throat is going to heal them, the scab is going to fall off then it is going to hurt you again. I snore very loudly when I sleep. I stop breathing when I am sleeping. Jenn T l, I bet you are happy that Ms Anthrope took your comments down when you were bad mouthing me in the post. You are done with Ms Anthrope, now. You are done with Heather Congrove. I am done with Heather Congrove. I am done with Ms Anthrope. Please ignore this post https://hcongrove2.com/2025/11/11/miss-you-know-who-you-are/ because that is not how Jesus acts. I don't need to be friends with several people to make me popular https://www.bubblybackwash.com/?m=1 because I do have friends that truly care about me. I am going to share the URL links to my friends, so you can make them popular. Do not attack my friends. I will never get back on Facebook again https://www.facebook.com/@princesscrystalsays/?hr=1&wtsid=rdr_0SS9oaImmq9EXo2sI sorry. I will never get back on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/princesscrystalsays_/?hl=en sorry. Crystal Amon is on several websites https://voyagejacksonville.com/interview/check-out-crystal-amons-story so that is a good thing. She is on WordPress https://princesscrystalsays.com/about-crystal-amon-founder-of-princesscrystalsays-com/ too. I never want to get back on WordPress. She is in magazines https://boldjourney.com/meet-crystal-amon/ too. She is on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/crystalskauffman?trk=people-guest_people_search-card too. Jenn T supports me when I am going through a time. She says encouraging things to me when I am going through a rough time. Crystal Amon encourages me with uplifting words too. She talks me through things. I have some good friends in my real life too. I don't think Crystal Amon is on Thread. I know she is on Blogger too. She is very popular on the Google Search Engine search, so that is a good thing. I am going to stay calm today because they are not worth arguing with, so I am going to move on. You can reach her on Blogger https://crystalsamon.blogspot.com/?m=1 too. This page does not exist https://crystalamonwriter.com/p/princess-crystal-says-newsletter-6f156abe6f131e4b but that is okay. She is a nice person that loves God. I love God with her. If you don't like how someone is treating you online then block them. If you don't like the way they talk to you then block them. It is not okay to treat people like dirt. It is not cool to publicly call people out in a mean way. It is not okay to embarrass people. If you are ruining people's reputations then that is not a good thing either. I really don't know what else to talk about. I just don't know what to say about people that do not represent Jesus online. You can talk about Bible verses online, but that does not make you a Christian. I am looking up behaving more like Jesus https://www.google.com/search?q=behaving like Jesus &client=ms-android-motorola-rvo3&sca_esv=91bd149827a5c7e1&sxsrf=AE3TifMtyA5Tg1nqe-iSxG9LOA91jI7Fmg:1763047167876&ei=__YVaZ-fNcSk0PEPwfG5UQ&oq=behaving like Jesus &gs_lp=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-4gMFEgExID_iAwUSATEgPuIDBRIBMSA_4gMFEgExID7iAwUSATEgP-IDBRIBMSA-4gMFEgExID_iAwUSATEgPuIDBRIBMSA_4gMFEgExID7iAwUSATEgP-IDBRIBMSA-4gMFEgExID_iAwUSATEgPuIDBRIBMSA_4gMFEgExID7iAwUSATEgPuIDBRIBMSA-4gMFEgExID_iAwUSATEgPuIDBRIBMSA_4gMFEgExID7iAwUSATEgP_EFe7FpqGh64N7xBTW7N6CpE4dh8QV1ohRSSjizHvEFlL4fgmfop5XxBWb3H9qO6nue8QVI6RQWmsjbWfEF94lHWDgdT8zxBb7yRpmAga5C8QWrtuRlnSBoE_EFdjh3k6uFHpTxBSoHIeZRh-Gm8QWhABfBxnkV9boGBAgBGAqSBwgxNC4xOS4xMKAHqYEGsgcHMC4xOS4xMLgH3ynCBwsyLTQuMTUuMjMuMcgH8AY&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp because I want to be more like Jesus.

Christians are made to become like Jesus on Earth https://redeemercitytocity.com/articles-stories/the-more-you-see-of-jesus-the-more-you-become-like-jesus too. Quora has things on there. Online preachers can help you become more like Jesus https://robertbsloan.com/2014/05/12/philippians-think-like-jesus/ too. Facebook had good advice too. I am happy that I have a relationship with God then Jesus https://www.jesusfilm.org/blog/be-more-like-jesus/ too. The Holy Bible talks about Christ-like behavior https://www.openbible.info/topics/being_like_christ too. I have never been a man in my life https://manhoodjourney.org/love-like-jesus/ but it has been a good day so far. We need to think like Jesus https://preparedtoanswer.org/article/8357-how-do-i-start-thinking-like-jesus every day. You need to fellowship with other Christians https://christianity201.wordpress.com/tag/being-like-jesus/ too. We can watch Christian things https://faithlifetv.com/items/1177209 too. We need to learn more about Jesus https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decl_19651028_nostra-aetate_en.html now. YouTube had good things on there. Tell me how can I be saved https://www.christianforums.com/threads/who-then-can-be-saved.8332869/page-27#post-78312081 now. TikTok has some videos on it. Reddit has questions answered. Amazon has Christian books on there https://www.amazon.com/Act-Like-Jesus-Study-Guide-ebook/dp/B081MTRVZ8 too. Young children can learn how to be more like Christ https://contextforkids.com/2023/12/27/episode-124-being-like-jesus-forgiveness/ too.

You can become like Jesus https://danolinger.com/2020/07/09/on-being-like-jesus-part-6-getting-low/ too. I am almost done with the fifth page. I am going to make such pages then I am done with the journaling today. I like to journal in the mornings because I have a lot of things going on my mind in the mornings. If you want to become like Jesus then you are going to unfriend people that get your eyes off God then Jesus too. I don't know what else to tell you. I am typing six pages a day. I have a lot on my mind. I am not going to mess with people that make me upset. I might shorten this up to be fine pages then add another page after this page. I think I am done with this situation.
n
n Now, I am going to write three more paragraphs. I am no longer going to be part of this drama. I don't want them to start drama with me again. I don't want them to start drama with anybody else. They need to leave people alone. I need to leave people alone. They need to get a life instead of talking bad about people.
n
n Be safe online because you don't know what they could do with you online. I don't know what else to say in this post. I am going to write a separate page after I get off here, but it is going to be about something else.
n
n This is going to be my last paragraph. I am going to have a wonderful day. I am glad people are getting sleep. People need to sleep to make it through the day. I am going to think about what I am going to do on that page I am going to to type up.
