LIVE YOUR UNLIMITED LIFE IN CHRIST
18/11/24 08:30
We limit ourselves in our humanity and Godliness if we have no conception of life in the Spirit. If our beliefs are no more than a mental construct consisting of what we think is right information, then we are seeking life in ‘the letter that kills’ and that is a place where real life will never be found.
IT’S NOT COMPLEX
A full life in the Spirit is experienced as Christ come in our flesh accompanied by the anointing and the gifts. Not for nothing did Jesus urge that we not leave home without being baptised by the Holy Spirit. Good people may live a diligent life without the latter and do not minister in vain. But they would have ministered with more spirit and life and greater authority had they lived the incarnation with the anointing and the gifts. The Christian message is more than words and compilations of written truth. This message is spirit and life itself when those who speak it are joined by Jesus and the Holy Spirit to the life hub of the cosmos which it the three personed God.
“The great evangelical realities and historical events to which the New Testament bears witness continue through the presence of the Holy Spirit to confront and impress themselves upon our minds in virtue of their self-evidencing force and continue to take shape in our understanding through their intrinsic truth. It is in this way that the Gospel provides the unique perspective within which the distinctively Christian doctrine of God is continually to be shaped and expressed.” Thus, Christ come in our flesh means that the life of God lives in us to be expressed as us.
THE PRESENCE MANIFESTS AS YOU
We can do better than evoke manifestations of the Spirit. We can be a manifestation of God as sons/daughters who are the expression of the resurrected Christ. The most fruitful invasion of heaven of earth is an incarnated Bill Jones and an incarnated Church. Catholics have it almost correct but miss the truth which is this: The host does not become the life of God. You do.
