LIVING FROM GOD’S REALM
PART TWO
«“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7»
I submit to you that there are two ways to live as one who is justified and redeemed: you live by faith or by sight.
Habakkuk 2:4 says:
«“The just shall live by his faith.”»
And 2 Corinthians 5:7 says:
«“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”»
Faith is the advantage of the believer.
If you live only by facts, circumstances, and what you can see, you are choosing to live according to the limitations of the natural realm.
But God has given you His Word because you are living in a body and, through His Word, you can connect to His Spirit within you.
THE WORD CONFIGURES US
This is powered by knowledge.
Jesus said:
«“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth…” — John 16:13»
The Word of God wires us and configures us.
If you don’t know this, you can carry eternal life yet live as though you have no life; carry so much power yet be defeated.
There are so many possibilities in the life of God.
1 Corinthians 3:21 says:
«“For all things are yours.”»
Shut down your carnality and begin to operate in the fullness of His grace.
DISCOVER WHAT YOU CARRY
Think of a smartphone. You can pay so much for a powerful phone and yet use very little of what it can do.
Find out the possibilities that are in the life you carry.
Refuse limitation, because the life you carry is not a limited life.
Stir up the life that is in you so you can manifest the reality of that life.
FAVOUR IS PART OF THE LIFE YOU CARRY
Think of the world. You can go for an interview and prepare even more than another candidate, yet you were not chosen.
Esther was also not simply operating by natural qualifications.
There is favour.
Psalm 5:12 says:
«“For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.”»
As a believer, you are encompassed with favour as with a shield.
The system of this world may want to manipulate this favour to disfavour, but you must have the consciousness of what you carry.
I AM AN OVERCOMER
I can carry this life and still be disadvantaged in destiny if I do not understand what I carry.
I carry the life of God.
What cannot destroy God cannot destroy me.
What cannot overcome God cannot overcome me either.
1 John 5:4:
«“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world…”»
I am an overcomer through faith.
Hebrews 11:6 says:
«“But without faith it is impossible to please him…”»
STIR UP THE LIFE WITHIN YOU
Divine life is not understood by ignorance.
God has called us to glory and virtue.
2 Peter 1:3-4 tells us that His divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness and that we are partakers of the divine nature.
Divine life empowers us to escape the corruption of this world.
So, know what is in the divine life.
Refuse limitation.
Stir up the life that is in you.
Begin to manifest the reality of the life you carry.
LIVE FROM GOD’S REALM
The end-time Church should not try merely to improve the flesh. This world cannot teach us how to live.
We must learn to live how God wants us to live:
By faith, not by sight.
You carry God’s life.
You carry His wisdom.
You carry His power.
You carry His love.
You carry His dominion.
You carry treasures.
Therefore, develop the consciousness of the life within you.
Live from God’s realm.
PRAYER
Lord, I acknowledge the power, wisdom, love, and dominion of Your life within me. I acknowledge the treasures of Your life within me. Help me to know what I carry, to walk by faith and not by sight, and to manifest the reality of Your life in me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
