I have told you what I have heard in the Father's presence. Repent and come to me so you will live.

Notexactly, you told me--

You do not know the presence of God. No one knows but the son.

And now you say you do know the presence??

Gotta remember your fairy-tale stories so you do not sound confused..

Not everyone who cries to me Lord, Lord shall enter the kingdom of heaven but only those who do the will of my heavenly Father.

The works I do in my Father's name bear witness for me.

Who am I ?

I know Him and I keep His word.

My brothers mother and sisters do the will of my heavenly Father so as to hear the word of God and do it.

Jesus told the disciples the Holy Spirit would bring to rememberence all that Jesus dad taught them.
And so it is, He does with all that are filled with the Holy Spirit tuned to His instruction.
The more a man sets aside preconceived ideas, and let's God make corrections the better , but the more academics one accumulates, the more difficult it is to take new training.
With out the Holy Spirit one cannot have this relationship and remains in sin.

The Holy Spirit ?

The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, comes in the name of the Lord. He takes from what is the Lord's and declares it. He does not speak on His own but declares what He has heard thereby glorifying the Father and the Son.

I do nothing on my own, I only say what the Lord has taught me for the One who sent me is with me He has not deserted me because I always do what pleases Him.

I judge as I hear and my judgment is righteous because I am not seeking my own will but the will of Him who sent me.

I haven't ever heard such a thing. But He did say to remain in His word and follow Him.

" If you continue in my word you are truly my disciple"

"My brothers, mother and sisters hear the word of God and do it."

"Man does not live by bread alone but by every word from the mouth of God."

"It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is useless. The words I spoke to you are spirit and life."
The one area that the west can learn from the east is meditation.

Meditating on the word of God is the only meditation that helps the believer.

Without the word there is nothing.

"Genuine worshipers worship the Father in spirit and in truth."
