Choose to Live...BREATHE!
From the Prophetess Chamber
--Thursday Morning Spiritual Insight
I woke up from hearing this prophetic thought --"so many of my people are living as "mere men." This is the behavior of Christ-followers who are still acting selfishly, while being controlled by their old, sinful nature. It is those who are still serving themselves first, despite having Power from the Holy Spirit. This "mere men" syndrome is what the scriptures call being still worldly, carnal, unspiritual, and living out of the flesh.
(1 Corinthians 3:3)
The essence of the prophetic thought is this:
In Colossians 2: 21-22, the Apostle Paul addresses the issue of legalistic rules, rituals, and "self-denials," and the danger of relying on human traditions (the culture’s model), rather than on the teachings of Christ; such as, don't touch, don't taste, and don't handle certain things--these rules are designed to bring destruction and death, to anything, that God calls good, in one’s life. They are not the path to spiritual growth.
These type rules are human teachings, and are not spiritual, and may seem wise, because they require strong devotion, but they provide no help when you are being attacked by any desire that stems from the flesh. Paul warns Christians not to be taken in by deceptive arguments that sound true but are not; and if we submit ourselves to their rule, we will neglect the reality that, as a believer in Christ, we have already been completely forgiven (Colossians 2:14).
Many of Christ followers, because of leaning into their own understanding (or somebody else's "model") of spiritual light; grow old mentally, look twice their age, and are dissatisfied, unsatisfied and have accepted all the accouterments of what the world calls “old.”
The spirit of the living God said, "I have spoken life, and my grace of Zoë life, to everyone who have received me So many are patterning themselves after the world, dying early, disease -ridden, infirmed, in rest homes, struggling alone, and have submitted to "familial” spirits masquerading as my true spirit; even after having lived for me so many years, and even after preaching life, yet continue to living in death; because they follow the world's “pattern of life—and not mine!" “I have come that they “might” have life—and/or according to their own “choosing”—might not!
You must pursue God’s life and not the world's interpretation of what life is. Life in Adam— all die. Life in Christ— all live!
Will you be "desperate" enough to live?
The Prayer of Acceptance to become a “Christ(ian) Believer”
" if thou will confess with your mouth and believe in your heart--you will be saved!"
Born-Again! Born from above! His presence now lives in you and will cause you to --live!
You no longer have to walk this journey alone! Connect with those who have the true life of Christ residing inside: abundant life, divine health and His wealth of provision for you. Jesus Christ gives only life--not death! Ask Him to come abide "in you!"
If you have just confessed this--and God is leading you out of cultural norms that cannot bring about the Zoë life of God—then I welcome you to connect with us. You will need discipling, to help you follow “the life,” and the infused and inspired words of truth! — This is the next step to abiding, (living), “in Him!”
Jesus does not save us, make our bodies the dwelling place for His Spirit…and then baptize us with holy fire and power—only to walk in this earth as a mere human beings!
We are not mere human beings but powerful supernatural and spiritual beings. Our spirits are alive with the nature and life of God, the same nature that sustains Him as the Almighty One! No other God like our God!!
Together, living as the “family of God,” each of us bring to “one another” the special gifting needed to supply every need to His Body of supernatural believers! You might say, we are the original Incredibles!
EMBRACE WHO HE SAYS YOU ARE! For certain you are not mere-humans, just trying to get by!
My wonderful friend, I exhort you to listen well, to the scriptural teachings of Jesus, as you navigate the complexities of life, as a believer. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep His divine wisdom at the forefront of your thoughts and affections, (heart) actively retain and reflect on them, and maintain an emotional connection with them. Stay vigilant! For they are life to those that find them, and health to all your flesh. (Proverbs 4:20-22)
