Happy New week everyone,
There is a life God expects us to live, and it is the God kind of life which we live through faith. Outside of faith, we do things which are carnal which are of the five senses, and God isn’t pleased with this. Romans 8:6 says, “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Why does being carnally minded bring death? Being carnally minded is the life Adam lived when He fell, to illustrate this life would be to uproot a plant away from the soil, the plant may still look good, but as minutes or to some hours pass, the plant starts fading away. It lost its life the moment the plant was uprooted from the soil, which was why God told Adam in Genesis 2:17, “but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” But Adam died at age 930 years, the truth is that he died the moment he ate of the forbidden fruit, or why do you think you grow old?
As I said at the beginning, God wants us to live the God kind of life, and when you have God in you, are you supposed to grow old and die? If this is so, then it shows the new nature has no power over our bodies! As a new creation, you are not under the old Adam who brought death to us, but we are now under the new Adam who is life and peace. And as Romans 8:6 says, “…to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” If the signs of the old Adam was obvious here on earth, then being under the new Adam who is Jesus should also be obvious on earth also.
Where do you think sickness or healing come from? Sickness comes from death, which is a nature of the old Adam, while healing and miracles come from life which is the nature of the new covenant. As sickness accumulates it result into death, while healing and miracles reflect the true nature of God. Now, since all these could be seen here on earth, it means, we need to exercise our faith level properly in order to understand that we are no longer under death anymore.
When you become a new creation in Christ, your spirit is 100% just as Christ’s which has been completely transformed. But our soul, where our mind, will and emotions are, needs to be transformed every now and then in order to detoxify the lies of the old nature, this is where faith comes in. Again, faith could be seen as letting go of the lies of the old nature and believing and receiving the truth of the new nature of God in Christ Jesus. As you keep accepting the new nature, it immediately affects your bodies.
The body follows everything that the soul believes, so if you believe you are sick, the body follows that immediately and reflect the sickness, while on the other hand, if you believe you have the health of Christ in your life, the body reflects the health of Christ in your life, it’s all according to your faith, which was why people received their miracles from Jesus according to their faith and He made them know that. He released the grace into their lives, it was left for them to believe and receive it that was all.
Now, that God has given us His life through grace, the moment you believe and receive completely that you have God dwelling in you, therefore, you are to reflect God in every area of your life and that you can’t grow old because you are planted in Christ, you would then see how you start to glow and not grow old. If God wants you to stay a certain number of years here on earth, just because your soul and your body are now in sync with you new spirit, you would move just as Enoch did, not leaving anything behind. And again, it’s just if your faith has reached that level. We are not under the old Adam but under the last Adam, that is for those who are now new creations. If you are not yet a new creation and want to benefit from this great grace, you too can tap into this free gift of salvation by saying the prayer at the end of this blog.
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!
