Christian Life Is Living Beyond Feelings!

‘but you are not in the flesh but in the spirit; if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you.  Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His’ (Rom 8:9).

The reality is, man is a spirit, and he has a soul and he lives in a body.  Our real man is the spirit.  It was dead because of sin and was quickened and made alive to God when we received Jesus in our life.  Now, the Spirit of Christ dwells in you.  You are not in the flesh but you relate your life from your spirit where the Spirit of Christ dwells to lead you and guide you.   Christian life is not carnal but spiritual because you are alive to God; alive to righteousness.  You are dead to sin and alive unto God. 

Being ignorant of this Truth, you will live your New Life in Christ by your feelings.  But you have the Life of God in you and the Holy Spirit to help you live this supernatural life in this world.  Yes, the Bible says in 1 John 4:4, ‘you are of God, little children and have overcome them, because, He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world’.  Colossians 3:4 says, ‘when Christ who is our Life..’.   No wonder why Paul wrote in Gal 2:20, ‘I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.’  

We live beyond the lower natural life; live by the Spirit who empowers us to live in the spirit by the faith of the Son of God Jesus Christ who loved and gave Himself up for us.  Search the Scriptures and study the New Creation realities.  Christ, the perfect sacrificed Lamb paid the perfect price for us to live a life above every adversity and challenge. We are more than conquerors in Christ.  We are in this world but we live above this world.  We reign over the elements of this world, sin, sickness, poverty and the devil. 

Jesus has given us the authority to trample the serpents and scorpions and overall the power of the enemy; nothing shall by any means hurt us.  We are superior to satan to cast him out and to demolish his schemes and plots! Go beyond your feelings and live by faith!  Know who you are, what you have and what you can do in Christ.  Live as a New Creation He has described you in His Word and made you to be.  

The Righteous is bold as a lion (Prov 28:1).  Fear is not his nature!  He functions in the Spirit of Love, Power and of a Sound Mind.  We are Kings and Royal Priests in Christ.  The Bible says, Ecclesiastes 8:4, ‘for the word of a king is authority and power, and who can say to him, what are you doing?’  We are called to use the authority and power Christ has endorsed us with and do great things for His glory!

Rise up to who you are in Christ and fulfill His destiny for you!  Romans 5:17, ‘for if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of GRACE and of the GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.’

CONFESS WITH ME:

I AM A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST!  I HAVE THE LIFE OF GOD IN ME.  I LIVE ABOVE EVERY ADVERSITY AND CHALLENGE; I REIGN OVER SICKNESS, SIN AND POVERTY.  I REFUSED TO COMPROMISE WITH ANYTHING CONTRARY TO WHAT CHRIST HAS MADE ME TO BE!  IN CHRIST I AM VICTORIOUS AND NOT A VICTIM.  I AM MORE THAN A CONQUEROR THROUGH CHRIST WHO LOVED ME AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME.
