What Are You Proving?

Romans 12:2 (NKJV)
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I recently wrote a Word for the day using the above scripture. Today I’m going to reference the same scripture again because I believe God is calling us to a new level of maturity and responsibility. The above scripture tells us to be renewed so that we may prove what the perfect will of God is. So my question to you today is; what are you proving?

If you stop and take inventory of your life, what will you find? Will you find that you are living a life for others and a life dead to self, letting Christ rule and reign? Or will you find a life that is comfortable and steady with the major influence of your decisions coming from your own wisdom. When I began getting the words to write down, I was receiving images of a people that have a love for God and a desire to do His perfect will but are stagnant in their walk.

The stagnation has come from years of religion and tradition, and inadequate teaching. When someone looks at you from the outside how do they relate your life to Christ? Do they say yeah I know he or she is saved and goes to church or do they marvel at the power of God and his anointing upon your life? Now both characteristics are excellent ones but I sense that majority of people in church today can only relate to the first one. The Bible says that we are Kings and Priests, and that we are heirs to the Kingdom of God. If this is the case why aren’t people equating the walk that most of us walk with that? As just mentioned, people think Christian and they think salvation. There is so much more to living this life on earth in Christ. There are opportunities not being taken advantage of because people are not fully proving the perfect will of God.

Well you may ask how do I do that? The first step is to be born again, but we got that down pact. The next steps are to move into the realm of relationship with God. This realm is the most intimate of all and this is where you get direction, strategy, strength and so much more. If you are familiar with the Tabernacle of Moses and have actually studied it, you should have seen that the Tabernacle is a foretelling of Jesus and the walk with God.

There are three rooms; the Outer Court, Inner Court, and Most Holy Place. There is only one way into the Tabernacle. In the first room (outer court) you have an alter for sacrifice and the brazen laver filled with water. In terms of the Christian walk the alter represents the sacrifice Jesus made on Calvary. Sadly this is where many Christians begin and end. The very last room is the Most Holy Place; this is the dwelling place of God. This is a place where only the Priest may enter and if you weren’t a Priest than you would have died if entered. This is the place God desires for all of us to get to. When Jesus sacrificed His life it says that the veil ripped. The veil that the Bible is referring to is the veil that kept the Most Holy Place separate. There is no longer a wall of separation that prevents personal relationship with God because we were all made into Kings and Priest through the blood of Jesus.

The question is do you know who you are and what you have that is dwelling within you? We need to move past the elementary teachings of salvation and move into the place of true relationship with God. Once this occurs than we will see an emergence of a new type of saint. A saint that is not bound by the systems of this world, one who speaks power that is preceded by manifestations, and one who when people look upon they see the Father.

Hebrews 6:1 (NKJV)
Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

If you are tired of everyday church I charge you to take action and control over your faith. You have the power to move as one with God and not just sit on the sidelines marveling at the ones who are.
Are you proving yourself as a King and a Priest or just as a sinner saved by grace?

I encourage you to fully study the Tabernacle of Moses.
