For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
If you are struggling in any area of your life, you are thinking outside of Me. For if you who have believed in the good news of salvation in Christ and have received Him by confessing Him as Lord, I have put you in Him and sealed you in Him by My Spirit as a pledge of all good things now and to come. And I have made Him to be wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption for you. 1 Corinthians 1:30. These are all in your possession, the possession of redemption.
It has pleased Me to give you, His flock in the world, the Kingdom and to make every one of My magnificent promises, and there are many, “yes” to you in Him. You do not have to beg for forgiveness, healing, provision, prosperity, strength, joy, peace, the gifts of the Spirit, solutions to your problems, or the fruit of the Spirit, they are all yours already in Him. The answer is “yes,” and all you do is say “amen” and take it, as much as you can hold. You can come with Him, the High Priest of your confession (“homologia,” that is, agreement with Him that the promises are yours and who you are in Him (an overcomer and more than a conqueror, successful, wise, healed, and prudent) to My throne of grace with confidence and receive mercy (forgiveness, healing, provision, and so on) and grace (wisdom, prudence, temperance, skill, strength, answers, inventions, that is, My life in you) just when you need it.
Faith in who you are in Christ and who He is in you turns your humanity to a whole new level, the level of divinity because to operate in faith you have to think like I do, talk like I do, and act like I do. And I have given you an entire book, the Bible, filled with My thoughts, which are faith thoughts. My thoughts are My wisdom and if you will take them as your own, you will walk in wisdom as well.
I raise you up out of the natural to the supernatural by giving you My thoughts and My Spirit. The greater one in a Covenant relationship brings the lesser to His level and I do that by My Words in your heart and mouth and My Spirit in you and on you. You can have as much as you will seek and receive.
“As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” says the LORD: “My Spirit which is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says the LORD, “from now and forever.” Isaiah 59:21.
Adam was created in Me and in My image and according to My likeness. I walked with him each day and shared My thoughts and Words with him and then with Eve as well. But when they left being in Me by thinking outside of Me, thinking the thoughts of a liar, they cut themselves off from the divine flow and life became a struggle for them. They no longer thought, talked or acted like Me but like a creature of disobedience, an unclean spirit of unrighteousness, who walked outside of My parameters of wisdom, peace, and love, outside of the flow of righteousness, peace and joy in My Spirit. Lies cannot find a place to land in truth which is light.
When you get outside of Me, who am love and light, which is your source, your life becomes a toilsome struggle.
But I have solved that for you who have come to Me through Jesus. In Christ, you step out of humanity (i.e., the contrary facts of the flesh) into divinity (the truth of My Word). You go from the realm of darkness to the realm of light, where all becomes light, which consists of all good things given and perfect gifts. And you do it by simply changing your earthly thoughts of worry, confusion, fear, and impossibility to My thoughts, for My thoughts are higher than your thoughts, as high as the third Heaven above the earth, but I have given them to you if you will not harden your hearts but receive them so they can land in you, plant, put down roots and grow.
If you will just agree with Me you will become like Me. It is that easy. But most people, even those who say they believe in Me and love Me, will not agree with who they are in Christ. Instead they speak of themselves as sick, in pain, lacking in funds, and having no joy. They speak of depression and confusion, of darkness and not light. They complain and say it is Me giving them the trials to make them saints. This is sin. You are maligning My Spirit and all that Jesus has done and is doing for you. You are behaving like those who are not in Christ.
Start seeing yourself as Paul did, he called himself, his new born again from above self, as “a man in Christ.”
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven. And I know how such a man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows—was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak. On behalf of such a man I will boast; but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in regard to my weaknesses. 2 Corinthians 10:2-5.
He knew that in Christ he was absolutely full of My fullness and that was not of his doing but Mine. But that is who he was in Me. And so are you.
If you are struggling with faith in My promises for your life, you do not have a faith problem, but an identity problem. You are paying attention to the wrong thoughts.
Jesus combines divinity with humanity in one flow. He makes heaven and earth meet, in Him you are reconciled and complete. When the revelation of who you are in Christ comes, your struggle is done. Healing, provision, miracles flow in that higher realm of thought. You are not limited to the earth where when you miss it and mess up it is over and done, where a terminal disease is just that, where poverty and lack are the norm to many, but life in the spirit is not like that. Limiting yourself to human thinking and wisdom dismisses you from My realm, which is the realm of miracles, not because I dismiss you, I rather invite you into My realm, but to operate there you have to think above and not beneath, you have to operate in heavenly wisdom and not earthly or you will never go forward to the victory. Not because it is not there for you all prepared in advance but because you will not show up by faith and take it. Like the Israelites I redeemed from the slavery in Egypt, I had gone ahead of them to the promised land since the foundation of the world and prepared the way for them to take possession but they limited themselves by not thinking My thoughts with Me and never took what was theirs for the taking.
A renewed mind takes My thoughts and makes them their own thoughts, an unrenewed mind rejects My thoughts and stays at the level of the flesh and discounts the spirit. Your spirit can only move with My Spirit if you renew your mind by raising it to My thoughts, especially when trouble strikes, and indeed, even when it is what people call “normal,” you should be walking above that in the extraordinary realm where I operate. I invite you in to join with Me in partnership to do great and mighty deeds that you could not know when you limit your thoughts to the things of the earth alone. In Christ you have My divine flow for your natural life on earth. You can walk in heavenly wisdom making days of Heaven on earth.
An unrenewed mind cannot flow in the divine. With a mind focused below you cannot step into My ability and wisdom, but a renewed mind can move with Me in My realm.
Living in, abiding in My Word is living in Christ. He is the vine, you are the branches, I am the vinedresser and you produce the fruit of the Spirit. I send My Word to heal you and deliver you from your destructions. My Word causes you to step up from human thoughts and fear to divine thoughts and faith. Which takes away the struggle and turns toil to ease of operation.
Come up higher where I have seated you in Christ at My right hand and take My thoughts as your own. My thoughts are wisdom and wisdom is the principal thing to put your life in the flow of shalom peace no matter what facts you are facing. Knowing the truth (My Will in the situation) will cause the facts, no matter how contrary to My Word they may be, to line up with the truth and the impossible to man becomes possible and the result is what you call a “miracle,” but what I call My Will being done on earth as it is in Heaven. When your life is in line with My Word everything will have to move at your arrival on the scene, and that is the result if you are in Christ.
I was in Christ reconciling the world to Myself through Him and now you who are in Him must go out to reconcile others to Me through Him as well. The way to deliverance, the door to freedom, is the Word of revelation I speak in your spirit to change the facts to line up in agreement with the truth.
When you are in Christ, Christ is also in you. This is the way He lived with Me as well:
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves. John 14:10-11.
But then He explained you should live exactly the same and the result will be, just as it was with Me and Him that with Me doing the works so it will be Him and you with Him doing the works in and with you.
Truly, truly, 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 the Father. Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. John 14:12-14.
By putting you in Christ, I make you sinless before Me, and when you dwell in Him, He dwells in you, I dwell in Him and He dwells in Me so by being in Christ and Christ in you, you are in Me and I am in you to will and to do within what you then work out.
Jesus prayed for you at the Last Supper, I think now you will understand what He is asking for you:
“I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.” John 17:20-21.
And then He asks Me one more thing: the glory.
“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.” John 17:22-23.
I love you. Come operate in My realm with Me and watch amazing things begin to move in your life. Just change your troubling thoughts to My triumphant thoughts and watch how fast things will change to line up with the truth.
