FATHER has placed the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead in us. Our problem is the lack of knowledge, understanding, and application of what has already been deposited in us.
Our minds to need in grow in understanding. As Proverbs chapter 4 urges us: Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.
Some of us need to change our expressed identity found in the words of our mouth. We are no longer sinners but instead, we are overcomers in Christ and have our being IN HIM. Our greatness is solely attributed to Him and that power made available through faith.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:
19 I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith.
Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you!
How can I truly be an advertisement for Christ? By the operation of this immense power as it works through me. These writings are meant to help us gain understanding of what we already possess through Christ.
Paul continues:
This is the mighty power (20) that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the Heavenly realm!
21 And now He is exalted as first above every ruler, authority, government, and realm of power in existence! He is gloriously enthroned over every name that is ever praised, not only in this age, but in the age that is coming!
We have the same power FATHER used to raise Christ so we don’t need to petition FATHER for more power than that which is already resident in us!
How do we release this power? By faith. How do we exercise faith? By immersing ourselves in the Books of Ephesians and Colossians then speaking those promises out of our mouth. Our words either activate faith or unbelief. It is our choice.
Your whole life flows from your spirit. All the self-help books are designed to tweak your mind, will, and emotions thus they are only temporary in nature. Why not focus on The Word which is life-changing and permanent by nature?
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:
6 HE raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with Him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ!
Notice the verb tense. This has already happened in the spirit realm when we were saved. That power was already provisioned in us to be raised up and become fully operational. It was simply waiting for us to make the decision to follow Christ. Now is the time to walk in this glorious revelation.
7 Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display of the infinite riches of his grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ. 8 For by grace you have been saved by faith. Nothing you did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the Love gift from God that brought us to Christ! 9 So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving.
The devil does not want us to get this revelation because he knows that once we do have the revelation, we will take command of our life by the power and authority resident in us and put into operation. The spirit of deception has been revealed and we must respond if we are to become advertisements of THE LORD. Without this power and authority being operational, why would the world be interested in our message? If there is no manifested benefit, then we simply are thought to have another opinion and the world has plenty of opinions to select from.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians chapter 5:
17 Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new. 18 And God has made all things new, and reconciled us to Himself, and given us the ministry of reconciling others to God. 19 In other words, it was through the Anointed One that God was shepherding the world, not even keeping records of their transgressions, and HE has entrusted to us the ministry of opening the door of reconciliation to God. 20 We are ambassadors of the Anointed One who carry the message of Christ to the world, as though God were tenderly pleading with them directly through our lips. So we tenderly plead with you on Christ’s behalf, “Turn back to God and be reconciled to HIM.”
Can our mission be expressed any clearer than what is written above? It is time to expand the Kingdom of GOD.
