All the spiritual growth of a Christian comes as he/she “presses” in from one level of revelation to another. Are you
ready to “press” into another level of revelation(revealing) of Christ? God has a better plan that many of us have been experiencing in our Christian walk. The false idea is that Jesus Christ is not in charge of my spiritual life and I can go on living as usual. In our scripture text Joshua told the people…. “Weve never been this way before.” The Christ-Life message has one intention.....To fulfill what God our Father has always wanted for us by giving us a greater understanding of who we are in Christ so that we can “go on” into the “FULLNESS” of the Christ-Life. The written Word of God mixed with faith is the key. It is only as we see Christ in The Word that we are able to become who He says we are In HIM, and HE is able to become who HE says HE IS....IN US. As we continue to study “present truth” each of us will begin to sense, by The Holy Spirit, Christs Life surging through us and touching the world.
OUR WHOLE CONCEPT OF CHRISTIAN LIVING HAS BEEN FALSE
That is why Scripture says in Eccl. 7:8……” Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in
spirit(spiritual) is better than the proud in spirit(natural). Many Christians believed God was able to save them, but few are able to believe Him to KEEP them. And because of this “selling-God-short” mentality, folk are constantly “fainting in the day of adversity because their strength is SMALL.” The Gospel of separation that has been
preached to us for all these years hinges on the preacher being able to get us together with God.
Therefore, the success of ministry has been dependent upon getting a person to Christ, buying them a Bible, and then leaving them stuck in salvation, never progressing and possessing by not understanding processing. Over the years, the greatest, most freeing truth in the Word of God which is our IN CHRIST position has not been taught to us. Probably some of these ministries could not help themselves, because the Lord had not revealed these truths to them, but they are in the Bible and the Holy Spirit, according to 1 Cor. 2:9-10, will reveal truth to anyone who is seeking HIM. Remember, TRUTH is a PERSON. Jesus said….” I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE…” So, there are multitudes of Christians who have not experienced the SPONTANEOUS LIFE of God in their Christian walks. These remain as easy prey for satan as he continually attacks their spiritual lives, causing them to live defeated and frustrated lives.
GOD SEES HIS SON IN US, THEREFORE, HE SAYS THE SAME THING ABOUT US AS HE SAID ABOUT HIS SON……” THIS IS MY SON/DAUGHTER IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED….”
A consistently victorious/overcoming life happens to a person who begins to see themselves as God sees them…. who begins to see themselves IN CHRIST. Gone forever are the spirits of judgement and condemnation, inadequacy and hopelessness, defeat and discouragement, confusion, chaos, and joylessness. Gone forever is doubt, fear, and unbelief. Gone forever is self-pity as a result of sickness, shame, sin, and misfortune. Creatively, we begin to manifest the Life of Christ in everything we put our hands to. This message is not meant to help you to be victorious because you already are victorious. You are IN CHRIST and Christ is the REAL YOU. You just are not aware of it yet. This is to help you, the NEW CREATURE, to begin CREATIVE, Christ-Living.
Too many of us have given up on experiencing consistent joy and peace in our Christian walks. Too many of us feel
that living has lost its excitement. Too many of us have not found purpose in this life. Why is this? Why do people give up on God so easily? Why do people give up so easily on themselves?
SOLELY BECAUSE THEY HAVE AND MAINTAIN THE ‘WRONG’ PERSPECTIVE!
MESSAGE TITLE…………..”
A BEAUTIFUL MIND
The movie starred Russell Crow and it depicted a real-life story about a mathematical genius who had been creatively hindered all his life because he heard and saw people who werent there. We are exactly the same! We are all geniuses and co-creators in our God-given spheres of influence(purpose), but we are hindered because we hear and believe the wrong voices. God has given us a wonderful, beautiful mind because we have the mind of Christ. But the rewards of our “creative mind” (the mind of Christ) are all on hold because instead of pursuing Gods purpose for our lives, we are continually pursuing those other voices while trying to convince everyone around us that we are just regular folk like everybody else. We allow those voices to convince us that there`s nothing special about us and then we go on with life thinking negative (confusion) and being negative (a mediocre life).
Therefore, Im extremely excited about sharing truths about the “creative” Christ Life. I feel that you can experience what Im experiencing……the REVELATION of Christ IN ME…..the hope…….”
THINK ON THIS….THE VERY ONE WHO MADE THE WORLD AND THE VERY ONE WHO CONTROLS THE WORLD AND EVERYTHING IN IT LIVES IN YOU. THEREFORE, EVERY OBSTACLE IN YOUR LIFE
HE PUT THERE SO HE CAN OVERCOME IT (IN YOU FIRST).
You must, in order to live creatively, concentrate ALL YOUR efforts on making Jesus Lord of your life. Begin by
giving ALL the Glory to God for EVERYTHING. Your every accomplishment can be seen as Jesus Himself working through you. Your every word can be Jesus speaking through you. Your positive actions, your positive feelings, your reaction, and responses to lifes situations should be Jesus’ qualities coming through you. Start looking at your shortcomings and failures as testing pressing you more into HIM. Look at your mistakes as opportunities to manifest His Glory, as holes in your vessel to pour out His Power. Paul said...” I WILL GLORY IN MY WEAKNESSES.” Begin to see Jesus as you and you as Him. I didnt say it, but Scripture says….” As He IS, so ARE we in this world (life).”
YOU MUST BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THE AWESOME POWER IN YOUR MIND. YOU, YOURSELF, MUST DECIDE EVERY DAY WHO YOU ARE. WITHOUT DAILY SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES AND SPENDING QUIET TIME BEFORE HIM, THE HOLY SPIRIT CANNOT REVEAL JESUS AS YOU!
The Christ-Life is something different in each of us. Sad to say that many of us think His manifestation of Himself in us looks the same in ALL of us. They struggle along in their own idea or version of Christianity, and never experience the FULLNESS of Christ in their lives. They seem to prefer their own version of who they are (defeated), rather than who God says they are in His Word. Living the Christ-Life should be an everyday adventure for each of us. Because “WE NO LONGER LIVE, BUT ITS CHRIST LIVING IN US.” When you really catch the VISION that ALL youve ever wanted to do and every place youve ever wanted to go is the longing of Christ IN YOU and not you, and its already been appointed for you to do. JUST STEP OUT IN FAITH AND DO IT. The way has already been made…….HE SAID…..”I AM THE WAY!”
