Being a Christian - Day 0 - Introduction

"....having the same mindset as Christ..." - Philippians 2:5

This week we will be talking about BEING A CHRISTIAN.


A Christian is a heir of God. Psalms 82:6 says "You are heirs of God and children of The Most High" We have the same mindset as Christ! What fascinating things can we do with God in us? Remember when God created the world? He commanded the light to form out of darkness, he commanded that animals of the sea and land should come onto the earth. Genesis 1:27 says "And He made them in the likeness of His own image" This means we function like Him, move like Him and talk like Him. When the demons see us they flee! James 4:7 says "Resist the Devil and he will flee from you" Why does the Devil flee? Because he has God in us! Spiritually we are gods! Not the type that need to be worshipped! We are of the Spirit of God!"Ye are gods..." (Psalms 82:6 KJV) What do demons know? Do they know that there is one God? Why do they flee? "Even demons believe there is a God and when they hear of it they tremble and shudder" (James 2:19) We are Heirs of God! We have the same authority! Luke 10:19 says "I have given you authority to stamp on these spiritual snakes and scorpions, and they shall never harm you"  Wow! We do not deserve this. We have sinned. 1 sin is too many to get into heaven, but guess what? 'What?' Jesus paid the price!

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...
