Galatians 2:20 (KJV)I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
II Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
These two scriptures are very significant scriptures because they describe a new beginning in a person’s life. When we decide to get saved it was a very powerful process that is more than we can understand at that particular time. However or whenever you got saved, it wasn’t about just you going up to the alter at a church or speaking the words of salvation over yourself because you were sad and/or feeling guilty about the things you had done. For many of us including myself that was what we thought.
The true meaning behind making such an important step in our lives is acknowledging that Christ died for us, that He is the Son of God, and that He rose again on the third day. Once we acknowledge this we are transformed into new beings or as the Bible states, new creatures. At that moment when we believe, we are inviting Christ to come into our lives and take over. At that moment as it says in the above scriptures we are crucifying our old selves on the cross with Christ in the Spirit realm and we are being raised up as new, pure, clean, untouched beings. This is such a powerful process that takes place.
As we begin this new journey with Christ we are then motivated by the Christ that dwells within us. When I say Christ I’m talking about the power of God. Christ wasn’t Jesus’ last name but rather the power, the anointing that dwelled within him. If you look throughout the New Testament in the Bible it refers to Jesus sometimes as Jesus Christ, and sometimes as Christ Jesus. Jesus was the man, and Christ was the power, the anointing.
Once we get the revelation of what has truly happened when we decided to make Him the head of our lives we can truly begin to operate from the Christ within us. I think a lot of believers have yet to realize what is dwelling on the inside of them. Religion and tradition has played a huge part of downplaying that realization. We are now in a time where the body of Christ is being to awaken from a dormant state, people are starting to realize that they don’t have to put up with the devils antics anymore, that He is already defeated. They are starting to realize that they too can operate just as Jesus did when He was walking the earth. It’s is a glorious time in Christ now, I know the world is saying that this is one of the worst times that has ever happened in American history, but the true believers are saying that this is one of the best times that has ever taken place in the body of Christ. People are looking for answers and can’t find them, the systems in which they entrusted their lives too has failed them. It’s our time people of God, our time to be that beacon that the Bible talks about, its multiplication time.
Let’s begin to let the Christ in us shine like never before, it’s our time people.
I hope this has been a blessing on your lives.
