always do the things that are pleasing to Him."

John 8:42

Yahshua said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me; for I proceeded
forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but

He sent Me.”

John 12:49-50
"For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has

given Me commandment, what to say, and what to speak. And I know that His

John 14:10
“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that

would lead us all to the place where we too could confess, “I do nothing of my own
initiative. I always do the will of the Father. I do not even speak a word on my own, but
I speak that which the Father gives me.” Does this seem like an unattainable dream? This

is the Father”s expressed will for us.

The Bride of Christ has no will of her own, even as Christ had no will of His own. He
lived for another’s pleasure. The Father’s satisfaction was Yahshua’s satisfaction. The two

were one. This same unity is Yahshua”s desire for us.

John 17:20-23
“I do not ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through

their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You,
that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that You did send Me. And
