Walk in the Reality
Dearly beloved, if we are to walk in the spiritual power that we received in the new birth, the Word of God concerning who we are in Christ must live in us richly. The Word produces results; the flesh profits nothing, it only produces consequences. As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him.
God gave us the revelation that it is “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” It is no longer I that live; Christ lives in me. If any man is in Christ, he is a new creation. We are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus on the basis of his good works so that we can walk in them. Old things passed away; behold, new things have come, and all the new things are from God.
We received the spirit from Him that raised Christ from the dead; it now dwells in us. The spirit is power from on high. In Christ, we are now enabled by the power of the spirit within.
We are complete in Christ, completely filled in him who is the head of all principality and power. Unto each and every one of us was grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ. This is the reality of the new birth and it is the truth. Read it for yourself in the Church Epistles. The Word of God reveals His will concerning who we are in Christ.
Oh, dearly beloved, believe the words of God, this potential power dwells in each and every one of us and we can operate it as God energizes His spirit in us. Our Father made it available to us in Christ Jesus.
We can speak by the spirit of God to our Father as much as want; nothing is stopping us. We can speak words of comfort, edification, and exhortation when the Church is assembled. We can receive revelation: word of knowledge, word of wisdom, and discerning of spirits. We can operate the manifestations of believing, miracles, and gifts of healings. God intended the Church to have this power in manifestation for godly profit.
Every born again one has this “dunamis”, this spiritual ability, this power latent in them.
Receive not the grace of God in vain; walk in the spirit, in the complete reality of the Christ within you, which includes the spiritual ability, the manifestations it is capable of producing, your sonship rights, the power of attorney to do the works Christ did and greater, the right to approach His throne of grace with boldness and confidence in prayer; walk in all of it.
You are His dearly beloved and highly favored in Christ. He freely gave us all things with Christ; He blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm in Christ. You are a powerful member of the Church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Study His Word so that you know the exceeding greatness of His power to us who believe, which he energized in Christ when He raised him from the dead, he ascended, and God caused him to sit at His right hand in the heavenly realm.
It is true, dearly beloved; it is all true. This is our reality in Christ Jesus our Lord, and this is only the beginning. It will take our Father the ages to come to display the exceeding riches of His grace to us in Christ Jesus, and He will show all these riches to us with loving kindness and with His tender mercies. We are His dearly beloved and highly favored children.
Believe His revelation concerning who we are in Christ and walk in it with all boldness and confidence. Freely you have received, freely give. He works in us to will and to do by the good pleasure of His will.
God is not a respecter of persons, but of believing. His Word provides us with many examples of those who walked with Him. We can learn from them, believe and walk with the same power as they did.
You will become what you look at, what you believe, and what you confess. Believe His Word and who it reveals we are in Christ and what it says we can do; we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
Dearly beloved, you become “Christ-like” to the extent His Word lives in you, to the degree you renew your mind to who you are in Christ. Walk in the reality of who you are in Christ with believing boldness.
