Celebrate Christ in You!
We just had one amazing weekend of rich fellowship in West Sussex, England.
Effective Fellowship
"I pray that the communication of your faith may become effective through the understanding/acknowledgement of every good thing we have in Christ." Phil1:6
If Christ in us, is not enough what will be? Christ in us the Hope of glory! If Christ in us is enough anything else will loose it's attraction and hold on us, but it is so glorious when we can recognise him in each other. He is bigger than man's opinion, bigger than your past. He is the eternal truth of your life. God chose you in Him before time began. Eph1:4
The weekend just reminded us what Jesus came to restore in us and desires to reveal in and through us. He no longer lives in temples made with hands. God’s strategy is Christ revealed in the individual. People relate to people. The nations await the revelation of their true identity reflected in us, God in a human body, the word becoming flesh in us.
I am reminded of the song: "I see Jesus in your eyes and it makes me love Him, I feel Jesus in your touch and I know He cares, I hear Jesus in your voice and it makes me listen and I trust you with my life because you're His, I see Him in you", what a revelation.
The gospel is the revelation of the now.
"The righteousness that comes by faith does NOT say: who will go up to heaven to bring Christ down or who will go down to the abyss? To bring Christ up from the dead, but what does it say: Near you IS the word, in Your heart and in Your mouth. "Flesh-bibles" Rom10: 6-8
Enjoy the Now of the gospel. If the enemy can keep you waiting for a future event, you will miss the now of experiencing and expressing your Father intimately. He is our exceedingly great reward.
John who once said; Look at the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world was deceived into believing this lie. He sends His disciples to Jesus to ask him the question: Are you the One who is to come or shall we expect some other?( Luke7: 17-21) Don't let the enemy keep you busy with a futuristic gospel.
Discover the today of your salvation of God's favourable opinion of you.”
Jesus said; “today when you hear my voice." You are so complete in Him.( Col 2:10) No experience positive or negative can abolish the finished work of Christ on your behalf. All God has done in Christ was complete and enough to satisfy the Father, once and for all. He saw the fruit of His travail and was satisfied. God entered His rest concerning you. God is not fooling himself when He looks at you. He sees Himself reflected in you. You are born from above. You are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus. When God looked at man He entered His rest in silent satisfaction. He beheld, His image and likeness.
To appreciate what God appreciates is the greatest act of praise and worship we can give him. To believe what He believes is what will liberate and transform you. Have the faith OF God.
“I have been crucified with Christ: the life that I now live is not for myself; but the life which Christ lives in me; and my present life is lived by faith in the Son of God; who loved me and sacrificed himself for me.” Gal2:20 NEB
What a joy to know that Christ is so at home in us, He is our very identity.(1John 4:17-18)
Read this passage until God gives you a revelation of this truth.
God is hopelessly in love with us. Enjoy His embrace.
Love
