Not of The World Prt 2 - 2 Cor 2:7






"For we live by faith, not by sight." - 2 Corinthians 5:7
This verse needs to be explained. When we live by faith, we live by what we believe, in our case, Jesus Christ. We live in Jesus, and Jesus in us.

"Jesus replied, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them." - John 14:23 This is proof that Jesus lives in us. Another proof (my favourite) :

"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." - John 14:18

How did He come to us, not physically but IN THE HOLY GHOST!

Jesus lives in us, and we have His power. Many people say: 'We don't have all of Jesus' power, we only have a measure'. Let's look at what Jesus said:
"Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father" - John 14:12

How are we supposed to do more than what Jesus' did with less power than He had? We have full power, full adoption as His sons and daughters!

"Do not be conformed to this world, but continuously be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may be able to determine what God’s will is—what is proper,pleasing, and perfect." - Romans 12:2

Many Christians do their best to impress people of the World as well as be a follower of Jesus. It is IMPOSSIBLE. Jesus said so:

"If the world hates you, you should realize that it hated me before you.  If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as one of its own. But because you do not belong to the world and I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you" - John 15:18-19

Something that does not belong to something cannot be part of it, unless it changes and becomes that criteria to 'fit in'. TRUE Christians can never 'fit in' with the world, because we are chosen out of it. Christians can fit in Christians though - no, I wasn't objecting that. What I am trying to point out is that a Christian will always face temptation from the world, that already belongs to Satan (according to 2 Corinthians 4:4) . And Satan governs this world to do what he wants it to do, but we are Christians and have overcome the world. How? you may ask:
"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.'" - John 16:33
Jesus is securing all my points  here:

A) In this world we will have tribulation (temptation)
B) Jesus is the only one who brings peace
C) Jesus is in us, meaning we have overcome the world!

CONFESSION:
Jesus lives with me, my life is filled with blessings, peace and prosperity. I have overcome the world. I allow God's spirit to work in me right now and command Satan out of my life and everything that includes me or pertains to me, in Jesus name, Amen!

The Godly Godliness

1 Timothy 4:7 -  7  Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;  rather, train yourself to be godly.  The godliness Paul is talking about here means piety to God, a revered holiness. What do I mean? Well, on what we do we should have a holiness for him. Our clothing, people should be able to say 'this is a real Christian'. Our behaviour should also have a holiness. A fear of God. As the Bible says, the fear of God gives life. This holiness is about the things you do, how you respond to God and to the things of God. Our character influences the way we live and what we do-it's the way people determine who you are, for it is always the inner man the speaks out. They are books and magazines you shouldn't read, things you shouldn't watch and games you shouldn't play. The excuse 'it's Christian' won't work this time! Watch with your children - make sure you are sure of what they watch. Never forget who you are in Christ: His own, o...

STOP HOLDING ONTO FLESH!

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.14.21.kjv We can see from this verse that a true follower of Jesus obeys his commands. But why do we find it difficult to follow Jesus? It’s because we are still holding onto flesh. We don’t want to let go, we think we can be both of God and of the flesh. But for you to work with God, the flesh must be dead. The flesh is your mind, emotions and your will. I repeat, God cannot work with you if the flesh is still alive. We cannot still hold on to the flesh. We are still sitting on the fence, not going in or out. Jesus said: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16 KJV http://bible.com/1/rev.3.16.kjv Let’s stop holding onto the flesh!

The Power In The Name

"There is none like God...who rides through Heaven to your help, through the skies in His majesty" - Deuteronomy 33:26  Many of us expect an answer when we pray - immediately. We try to control God  thinking we know best, when God does. But if the Holy Spirit lives in us, patience live in us too, because it is of the Spirit (Gal  5:22 ). We have everything we ever need or ever will need - the only thing you have to do is activate it. The power in the name of Jesus, as soon as you activate it, is ready and available to use. Anyone can say Jesus, but they can't use its power because it's either:  A) not given to them or  B) they don't believe.  What can I do to activate the power?  To activate this power, you need faith and full relying on God. No matter what, even in temptation. You see, a Christian's life is one with more temptation. But that's good - because:  A) We overcome them all!  B) It's when we show and display J...
