“God’s plan is to make known his secret to his people, this rich and glorious secret which he has for all peoples. And the secret is that Christ is in you, which means that you will share in the glory of God.” – Colossians 1:27 – It was always God’s intention and plan to engage with us, to have a relationship with us birthed in love and expressed in intimacy. God has never separated himself from us, He is a fountain of everlasting love and his heart is forever towards us.
“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.” – 2 Corinthians 1:20
Your heart wants to be in the “Yes” place with God. His goodness, His kindness, His peace, His joy, and He will strengthen you. God always acts in the affirmative, never the negative. His promises are not NO, but they are YES. Everything God has promised to us has been completed in Christ and Christ is now complete in us. “And you have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.” – Colossians 2:10.
Christ promised his disciples that the glory of God would come and live within them. That promise is for every child of God in Christ. The glory of God now lives in us. We are the hands, eyes, mouth, ears, heart, feet of Christ in this world. Christ lives and works through us. Christ in us enables us to be Christ to this world.
God is constantly re-affirming and declaring the finished work of Christ in our lives. He has given us the faith of Christ and He has given us every spiritual blessing in Christ. We are constantly being nourished by his promises and by the Holy Spirit working in us. We are never alone. We are never disconnected from God.
God has done everything well and everything possible for you to live a life of experience and knowledge with the power and authority of heaven working in you.
God’s word is His promise to you and all God’s promises are YES and Amen in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit alive in you is the power to bring those promises alive in your life.
The Battle you face is a battle for your identity, listen to the Holy Sprit declare his truth over you. Don’t listen or be intimidated by the noise and bombardment of the enemy. Dr Caroline Leaf says, “You are not your trauma, you are not your mistakes, you are not your thoughts, you are not your feelings, you are not your mental health struggle. No matter what happened or happens YOU get to decide your identity!”
You are part of Christ, every day is part of the adventure of being in Christ. Don’t wish your life away, see yourself birthed in the image of God and every day is a day of new possibilities.
As Christ is so now are you. You are loved, valued and accepted in Christ. God has made you as his child. BE YOURSELF. Don’t be manipulated or pressured into being or copying someone else.
Living Grace
