When we behold Jesus in our lives, our image of ourselves transforms into Christ. We are complete in Christ, God’s desire for us is that we know and experience his glory in our lives. So, we know that we are never disconnected from God.
God’s promises alive in our hearts are to change our self-image so he can trust us with things in our lives. He works in us to transform our core beliefs to make us come into greater depths of his glory.
Grace is Christ and Christ is grace. Grace brings freedom, liberty, joy, peace, and righteousness. We must eat from the right tree, the tree of Christ not the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.
God is grace, grace is the being caught in His loving arms and His warm embrace. There are no bad days, or good days there is just the favour of God working in and through us.
“God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” – Ephesians 2 : 8-10. – We now live in the empowering grace of God. We have the unlimited favour of God at work in our hearts. Grace is the unmerited, unearned, and undeserved favour of God in Christ Jesus. A person not a doctrine nor a teaching but someone who died, rose and is now seated at the right hand of the Father who is continually and consistently praying and advocating for us. Grace brings freedom, liberty, joy, peace, righteousness, and most of all intimacy with our Abba Father. It is not something we possess or take hold of but someone who has caught us by His loving arms and warm embrace.
It is our self-image that changes, it is how we see ourselves in the purposes of God. God has made us NEW CREATIONS in Christ, we died to our old nature and now it is our self-image that changes in Christ.
We transform our core belief systems through circumstances. Our hearts our nourished, nurtured and protected in the circumstances of Life. God has promised to transform our lives from one degree of glory to another. We are complete in Christ; we are Sons of the living God. We are one with Christ and we are united in the very life of Christ.
In every circumstance of life we have Jesus alive in us. This is the truth; it may not be our experience, but it is the truth. The question is – What is God doing in this situation? And how is it making we grow in my understanding and relationship with Christ?
“But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.) And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.” – Romans 8 : 9-11– God is not visiting us He is inhabiting us. The Church should never pray for revival, it means we do not believe and possess the glory of God that is alive in us. We have been made right with God and now He dwells inside his people. It was NEVER God’s intention to visit us but to inhabit us.
Living Grace
