My life is nothing without My Lord Jesus Christ living inside of me. His Love for me empowers me to live!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 2:
20 My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives His life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God Who loves me so much that He gave Himself for me, dispensing His life into mine!
I seek no identity apart from Christ. The Holy Spirit is the One Who empowers me to write to you daily for I am no scholar in any area of my life. He has empowered me to hear and I am truly grateful for that!
Paul further wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 1:
26 Brothers and sisters, consider who you were when God called you to salvation. Not many of you were wise scholars by human standards, nor were many of you in positions of power. Not many of you were considered the elite when you answered God’s call. 27 But God chose those whom the world considers foolish to shame those who think they are wise, and God chose the puny and powerless to shame the high and mighty. 28 He chose the lowly, the laughable in the world’s eyes—nobodies—so that he would shame the somebodies. For He chose what is regarded as insignificant in order to supersede what is regarded as prominent, 29 so that there would be no place for prideful boasting in God’s presence. 30 For it is not from man that we draw our life but from God as we are being joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. And now He is our God-given wisdom, our virtue, our Holiness, and our redemption. 31 And this fulfills what is written:
If anyone boasts, let him only boast
in all that the Lord has done!
The world encourages self-promotion whereas we are to identify with Christ and empty ourselves of any other false identity we have promoted in the past. Those false identities were temporary at best and have no true power behind them. They were simply misperceptions of who we really are.
Jesus Christ is the only answer to our future so we must empty ourselves of soulishness and worldly opinions in order to take on Christ fully and completely. The world’s opinions are at best based on half-truths but Christ is based on the full Truth which originates out of Heaven. Why spend any more time thrashing around with lies when you can walk in Truth and promote peace in your soul?
Yes, this is a broken world and we must contend with demonic influences, often on a daily basis. However as we walk in THE SPIRIT, we will know exactly how to navigate through every situation. There will be times when we confront demons head on. Other times we will be led to skirt the situation without confrontation. The Holy Spirit will guide us in all situations as we walk as living sacrifices unto Our Heavenly Father.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Romans Chapter 12:
1 Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? To surrender yourselves to God to be His Sacred, living sacrifices. And live in Holiness, experiencing all that delights His Heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship.
2 Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His Eyes.
Once my mindset lines up with the reality that I am nothing without Christ, my intimacy with Christ grows as well as my passion to do only what I am called to do according to the book written about me in Heaven.
