Your Body Should Reflect Your Spiritual Stand

Happy New Week everyone,

Yesterday, I wrote on the Sons of God having the mind of Christ which also implies having the fullness of God in us, and as we submit to the Spirit of Truth/Christ through the meditation of the word, we get transformed and His lifestyle which includes His mind, will, and emotions becomes our mind, will, and emotion, which allows the Spirit way of life, or the fullness of Christ, manifest in our body. My focus today is on the fullness of Christ in our body.

Romans 8:11 says, “And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then] He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you.” Many of us believe, it is only when Jesus returns that our bodies would then be transformed, but that doesn’t correspond with Jesus living inside of us. Jesus living inside of us if for the total transformation of our soul which would affect our bodies. Whatever the soul stands on, that is what the body follows. The fullness of Christ has been given to us and is meant to be manifested in our daily lives, but it is only that which our soul allows that gets manifested through our body.

When you want to lay hands on a person to get healing, your Spirit already has the fullness of Christ which contains healing, it is when you believe, which is the job of your soul that is activated in your body when you lay hands on the sick and the fullness of Christ comes straight from the Spirit through the soul, to the body and into the person sick. If the body wasn’t important, why do we get healed when we declare the power of Christ on our body? It is the perfection of Christ that enters into the body and restores the sick person. It is the same when you raise the dead, casting out demons and so on. It is Christ in you who flows through you and enters the recipient.

Our bodies are meant to manifest the life that we carry as long as we believe, which is what our soul must achieve by being transformed daily. In other words, we are not meant to grow old or fall sick, this is because we manifest the life we carry, as Jesus is, so are we here on earth, (ref.: 1 John 4:17).

Romans 8:11 says, if the same Spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead dwells in you, that same Spirit will also restore to life your mortal bodies. The transformation starts the moment you receive the Holy Spirit, and also because we are no longer under the first Adam. Under the first Adam, we were bound to die. Sickness, old age, wrinkles on the face are all signs of death which we got from the first Adam. But now that we are in life Who is Jesus Christ, we are to manifest His life. The level Christ meets us when He returns is He makes complete, but the transformation won’t start when Jesus returns, it has started, and we are to believe and confess Life to our bodies and see the transformation take place as our soul gets transformed day after day.

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!
