The Reality on the Ground
Dearly beloved of God, the reality on the ground is that we truly are the sons of God, we have access into the kingdom of God, and our sonship rights are accomplished realities because Jesus Christ paid for them with his life.
We were at one time dead in sin, and we came short of the glory of God. We were guilty before God. We were children of wrath. We were deserving of the condemnation against us.
Now, in Christ we are justified before God. That means that we no longer come short of the glory of God, we will be glorified together with Christ. We are no longer dead in sin; we are born of His spirit, and we are alive before Him. In Christ we are now righteous before God, and we stand before Him without any sense of sin, guilt, or condemnation. Jesus Christ paid for all of this and it no longer comes between God and us. Jesus Christ redeemed us.
Jesus Christ gave us the introduction to God and we now have free, unrestricted access to Him 24/7/365, and He exhorts us to boldly approach Him, and speak freely with Him with confidence because of the right way of believing, which is in Jesus Christ and his accomplishments.
Remember these things when you pray, when you operate the nine manifestations of the holy spirit, as you minister to people, as you operate the power of attorney, as you witness His Word, as you teach. It was God’s idea and will for us to be able to do these things. He wants us to do these things and to have the confidence it takes to do them.
God is not holding us back, dearly beloved. He exhorts us to boldly use our access to Him, to pray always with every prayer and prayer request in the spirit and stay on watch for the needs of all the saints. The spirit in manifestation will help our infirmity of not knowing what to pray for and it will intercede for us according to God’s will.
Our part is simply to walk by believing Him; to believe what our Father says over what the five senses and the world may say.
It’s easy to say “believe,” but it requires some discipline to think, confess, act, and face every situation believing God instead of believing the evidence you see with your eyes.
The world will never agree with our believing, believing that is in God and His ability to overcome in any and every situation.
Fuhgeddaboudit! The key to our success, regardless of the situation, is to walk in fellowship with our Father and to do His will. He will do the delivering.
That’s the reality in the arena on the ground where the wrestling with the adversary takes place. Our believing is in God, and in His ability to overcome, so that is where we stand, dearly beloved. That makes us more than conquerors!
