As a Son or Daughter of God, you must have come to the understanding that you are a new creation, (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:17), and you live by the faith of Jesus (ref.: Galatians 2:20). What this means is that you have the life of Christ Jesus. And by having the life of Christ Jesus, the you that lives in your body is the very essence of Christ Jesus. But why doesn't it appear to us as that?
Jesus who is God was born as a man. He had to be equipped to know that He and the Father are one. In other words, He had to learn that He was God. As He said in John 10:30; 14:9-11, He is in the Father and the Father is in Him, and He and the Father are one, all this shows that Jesus is God Himself. This is the same for us, the moment we become born again, filled with the Holy Spirit. We become all that Jesus is. But why is it that in many cases we don't function as the Jesus we know?
The reason we don't function as Jesus is because of ignorance. We need to be better grounded in the fact that we are in Jesus, and Jesus is in us. So, how do we go about this?
As we study and meditate on the word of God, we are to see Jesus in all that is in the scriptures. As we know, the Old Testament is Jesus concealed, while the New Testament is Jesus revealed.
Also, as we study the scriptures we see ourselves in it as Jesus! Why? It is as though we lost our memories and we need to remember and know who we are. By studying who Jesus is, are also studying ourselves. The more we connect into all that Jesus is, we manifest Jesus as ourselves, in our actions. Just as Jesus said in John 14:12, "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father."
To do greater works than what Jesus did is as Jesus performing signs after His resurrection. This was why Jesus said, "...because I go to My Father." in order to send the Holy Spirit, which is His Spirit.
If we don't see ourselves as Him, then we cannot see greater works than what Jesus did cannot be made manifest. It is just a journal of memories of who we are when we meditate on the word of God.
Whatever we do is led by the Holy Spirit, who is His Spirit. We must be humble if we want to allow Him to flow through us, as us, because we are in Him, and He is in us. And humility is to focus on Jesus ONLY, and not on ourselves, whom the devil forces us to focus on.
And don't forget that the area the devil wants us to focus us has been crucified, in simple terms, it is dead and gone. The life in us is the very life of Jesus. So, if we focus on Him, we reveal Him, who is us, but if we listen to the devil, we act as the person we are not.
Focus on Jesus, and you'll remember who you are, because as He is, so are you in this world, (ref.: 1 John 4:17).
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!
