Through the Door and Living the Life

The Life of Freedom
(Basic Law No.1: Regardless Of The Situation You Find Yourself In, You Are, Have Always Been, And Will Always Be Free.)

       The moment you walked through the Door called Jesus you officially died to the old sin-natured self and in that same instant the True You sprang into being, conceived and birthed by Almighty God .That's what God says in His Word:  " You have been born again, not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm) but from one that is immortal " (1). Your new life comes straight from Almighty God as validly as your human life came straight from the union of your human father and mother. .WOW ! That blows my mind.
         Let me put it this way: When you invited Jesus into your life, He came. The very presence of Jesus, the Creator and Upholder of all things (2), completely destroyed  the old you, that false pretender to the throne and brought to birth the True Person,the Real You, to your rightful place in your True Life (3).      Feast your new-born eyes on some of the  following : "If anyone believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things I do . . ." ". . .His divine power has bestowed upon us all things requisite to life and godliness . . .great and precious promises that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature." " He has raised us up and seated us together with Christ in heavenly places" (4).
               WOW!  WOW! and DOUBLE WOW! ! !
                My friend, you don't know what you have. Sadly, most born-again Christians do not fully grasp what they have. Almighty God walks and lives in them. He is their very life source. Yet they still bow and scrape before man's ways, still listen to the fear-filled chatter of their as yet unresurrected flesh, still afraid to unleash the awesome power of their True Nature, still not understanding the words their Heavenly Father has, for two thousand years, waited for them to lay hold of and use with wild, heavenly abandon. Words like: " . . thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere." "I came that you might have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance, to the full, till it overflows". (5)
                 Just look at those key words: Always; Triumph; Everywhere; Life; Abundance; Full; Overflows. Those are some of God's superlative words for you, my friend. He wants you to live life in His power, to lay hold of the True Lifestyle He has planned for you. He waits so impatiently for you to step up to Him and say: "Yep. I'll buy that. That's for me. I'm grabbin' all I can and then some more right now. I don't have to wait. This abundant life is mine because You made me for it and it for me. It's like putting on a new suit. It fits well and looks good. The old me is gone. The new, shiny Me is here and I intend livin' it's New Life to the Full. Yeaaah!"
           So remember this as we venture forth onto the  Royal Highway: the New You, from the moment you came into existence, "is free, has always been free and always will be free" through the New God-given Life within, free to begin living a New Life of total, unstoppable victory over all and every situation, free to exercise the God-power of that New Life over any and every situation daring to come against you in any way. Through Jesus you are "more than a conqueror" (6).

Let's dance down God's Yellow Brick Road.
