Hello everyone,
Yesterday, it was made clear that
God dwells in us, Him living in us is the grace of God given to us, where I
explained that the Holy Spirit is a whole package of other things all put
together as one. Having the exact authority with God is one thing, activating
it is another thing. Today, I will explain how to manifest authority of God in
us in our physical world.
Manifesting the authority of Christ
in our everyday lives is very important. In my authority series few weeks back,
I wrote on this, but there are things I left out which would be added as I
explain how to manifest the authority of Christ in our everyday life.
In manifesting the authority of
God, we need to first of all know and believe the authority, and this is done
on through faith. Faith here in simple terms means to receive that which has
been offered by God through Christ, which is why in Romans 10:17, it says, “So then faith comes by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God.” The only way you have access to the authority
of Christ is to know about it, and this is done by those whom God has sent to
spread this good news [ref. Romans 10:14-15]. There have to be a communication,
it doesn’t just come to you like that until someone spreads the message, even
through God Himself passing this message, there must be communication. It is
when the message has been passed it is then up to you to receive it.
Now, when you look at the second
half of Romans 10:17, it says, “…and
hearing by the word of God.” This implies that the ability to hear the
right message that causes faith in your heart is not from you but from God! The
faith you use when you become a member of the body of Christ is not your faith,
our faith is so carnal that it cannot take the load of what God has in store
for us. So, you need a perfect and pure heart that has passed the God-test and
only Jesus passed this test. Again, you see why you cannot boast in your
abilities.
Galatians 2:20 says, “I have been crucified with Christ, it is
no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live
in the flesh I live by the faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave
Himself for me.” The KJV made it clearer by saying the life we now live, we
live by the faith of the Son of God, thus making clearer that it is
Christ’s faith that we use in living here on earth. So, when the scriptures
say, “For the just shall live by faith”, it simply means we activate the faith
of Christ as we live here on earth. The faith of Christ was one of the several
gifts given to those who received Christ into their lives, so we can make use
of it as we receive the word.
Now, the faith of Christ in us
gives us the ability to hear the word of God which is translated to faith. The
word when received is a seed which should be planted and grown in our heart,
and how is this done? It is done through the constant meditation on the word of
faith which you heard. An example could be a person who is sick, he hears the
word of faith which says, “By the stripes of Jesus, you were made healed.” In
order to activate this, he needs to meditate on the word in his heart, get it
established in his soul, that is, his mind, will and emotion which then
translates into the body. Then he has to confess the word as his affirmation on
what he stands on which then brings healing to the body. Confession is very
important, it brings out and establishes what the heart has concluded upon.
In manifesting the authority of
Christ in simple terms could simply mean believing the word and then confessing
the word. The believing in split seconds have to do with the meditation of that
word, allowing it to become the only truth you know, which of course has been
the only truth in the first place.
There are deeper insights in
manifesting the authority of Christ in our lives even from meditation, log on
tomorrow as I continue on how to manifest the authority of Christ here on
earth.
May the LORD bless
you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you
and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus
today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus,
I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God
raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank
You for saving me!” Congratulations,
you’re born again, you are now brand new!
