There are times we experience certain situations or conditions in our lives, some of which we could call storms. These things in many ways could bring a lot of discouragement especially when it has been on top of your prayer list. One may say the solution is in Jesus. But this statement isn't something you're ignorant of, and isn't something you have discarded or disregarded. The issue is that the situation keeps biting harder and the hope of strength to keep on holding onto Jesus starts becoming sort of difficult to hold to. If your story seems to appear as this, I'm here to bring you a deeper revelation to what you most likely weren't looking at.
The first thing we need to remember is that Jesus has the highest authority in heaven, earth and under the earth. He has no equal, neither does He have any rival now and beyond eternity, (ref.: Ephesians 1:21). What this means is that when He says a thing, no one dares imagine standing in the way of the word of Jesus, not even standing in the way itself. His authority is so mighty that His name itself is action because it carries power, like a lightning bolt which is an understatement to the power and might of Jesus' authority.
So, why did I say all that? I said all that to awaken the living hope that God has given to you on a platter by Grace through faith in Grace Himself.
With this, let me take you down history before Jesus was glorified to take up all authority, and this was while He was physically here on earth, as a man. If you observed all the challenges He saw (which of course wasn't a challenge to Him), there was not one challenge Jesus didn’t tip over easily, and why was that? It was because Jesus never rested on His ability for a second, rather He rested on the ability of God, whom He carried and was living in Him.
What Jesus knew when He was here, was to see God greater than any challenge that could ever surface. In other words, it could appear as He would ask Himself, if God were here right now, would He tip this challenge over like a pack of card? And since He knew the answer was always a yes because He knew who God is, then it was God and not Him facing these challenges.
Let me explain further, when Jesus asked His disciples to cross over to the other side, where they were faced with a storm, (ref.: Matthew 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-41; Luke 8:22-25), Jesus rebuking the storm wasn't actually Him rebuking the storm, but God. Jesus had understood that He was nothing but God. Only God existed in Him, so there was no Him existing but only God existing. This was the reason why He said if you've seen me, you've seen the Father, (ref.: John 14:9), why He said all I do that which I see my Father do, and not of Himself but of His Father, (ref.: John 5:19), and more.
Now, the reason those who are born again, and filled with the Holy Spirit face challenges that trouble them over and over are because of two major reasons. First, we still think we need to do something, or we need to attain a certain amount of knowledge, like the way we would when we go to school before we could tackle these challenges. This second is that we haven't gotten a real grasp of who Jesus really is in terms of His authority and being one Spirit with Him.
Now, there is nothing you are to do in terms of you acquiring knowledge as a person to use as an entity, rather, you are to be conscious of the fact that has happened, which is that all of Jesus is now all of you (1 Corinthians 6:17), just the way Jesus knew and understood that all of God was all of Him. This is what happens when you become born again and filled with the Holy Spirit. What happens at that point is that you die, and Jesus possesses body, which means that the Spirit inside of you the moment you get born again becomes the Spirit of Jesus. So, there is no you ANYMORE!
What we think is that there is an us who needs to know Jesus, so that we can use the power He has given us to attack the challenges. What we didn't know is that Jesus became us, in a better and true way, Jesus possessed our body. It is our soul which carries the information of the old life that is ignorant or not well informed of who now dwells in your body, (ref.: 1 Corinthians 3:16; 1 Corinthians 6:19; Romans 12:1&2).
Our study and meditation on the word of God is to know the characteristics and abilities we now have. As you see Jesus in the scriptures, that scripture is talking about you exactly.
Today, when you see these challenges REMEMBER, it is Jesus facing these challenges because there is no you anymore. And also remember Jesus is above all things, meaning you are above all things, so command those things to bow IN THE NAME OF JESUS! Even the Spirit realm know Jesus has possessed you, but your soul is ignorant of this truth.
You must meditate on the word of God to unlearn the old things the soul carries and learn the new things of Jesus, whom you have become. The more you do this the more confident you are in taking charge of the authority you have, which is the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ.
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!
