This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit as I worshiped the Lord in the beauty of His Holiness. The Holy Spirit began speaking to me about living in the realm of having been born anew in the Spirit of my heavenly Father rather than having been born into the earth by my natural Dad.
There is a huge difference and many times as iniquity tries to overwhelm us through accusation of satan, the Holy Spirit reminds us of whose we are and whom we serve. The word talks about workers of iniquity who use the iniquity in your background to rob you of the blessings of the Lord. We as having been born anew by the Spirit of the Lord need to know our rightful position as children of the Most High God and walk in that authority.
In John.1:13 &14 we read these life changing words of truth : But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Now let us meditate on this truth for our lives and change our minds, convert our hearts and allow these facts to be the reality in our everyday lives on earth as this was the very reason Christ Jesus came to give us this opportunity to change our existence on earth. This is because we could not birth ourselves and each have parents who have iniquity and we had no power to change ourselves and free ourselves from the iniquity in our families. However when we choose Jesus as our Lord and Savior we are born afresh with a completely different heritage as John points out here.
The rights we have in life determine the kind of life we have and what is available to us to live from. Now when we become children of God we have the rights and privileges to enjoy and experience all that is available in our Fathers house. Firstly in our Fathers house there is liberty from every oppression of the devil and a separation from sin and iniquity because our elder brother Jesus removed every handwriting of requirements that were written against us by removing them from our lives through the forgiveness of our sins.
Jesus did not forgive us after we repented because He replaced us by becoming sin and iniquity for us and taking the punishment on our behalf so we could be free once and for all.
Just for an eternal minute remember that on the night Jesus was betrayed and denied by His followers He took bread, blessed it and broke it saying “This is my body which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.” Then He took the cup and said “ This is the New Covenant in Blood shed for you and many for the remission of your sins. Do this in remembrance of Me.”
These statements give us the right to experience everything Jesus did for us. He came to save us from our enemies and the power of those who hate us. Not to condemn us because we were already condemned and subject to death. He came that we should begin to experience life which sin had robbed us of. We were experiencing the wages of sin which is death and Jesus paid the price for us to now experience the wages of righteousness which is life and that more abundantly.
When the accuser of the brethren satan comes after us he seeks to bring us out of the place of security that Christ purchased for us and use the iniquity of our natural heritage to attack our minds.
However the Holy Spirit comes to our rescue by reminding us of the One who has freed us and given us the power to walk in absolute freedom from every oppression that seeks to torment us. The word the Holy Spirit brings us is what we must pay attention to and use as our answer to every accusing thoughts and darts of the enemy to completely quench their mission sent to weaken and rob us of our God given rights and privileges.
Let us meditate on some of the realities of what Christ did for us. In Acts.3:19-21 and Acts.3:26 we read these words. Allow your hearts and minds to be completely saturated with these truths so you continually walk in them : Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. 26: To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”
We see Peter explain to us that our responsibility is to repent so that we can experience our sins being blotted out and receiving a new refreshing from the Presence of the Lord. This refreshing from God’s Presence is to position us to have a restoration of all things we have lost in life and then turned away from our iniquities and experience the blessing of the Lord which makes us rich and adds no sorrow.
Walking in a place where sorrow and sighing flee away from our environment. Jesus has made all these facts/truths available and we need to repent and then receive and embrace them wholeheartedly and go on to partake of them in the now of life. We become workers of righteousness and fruit bearers of righteousness that delivers from death.
Let me take you a step further in what the Holy Spirit ministered to me from the word this morning to completely establish your foundation on the truth of who and what Jesus means and is towards you in everyday life.
In Romans.8:3 &4 the Apostle Paul writes these words which lift the soul to rapturous splendor of the reality of our position in the Lord : For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
The righteous requirement of the law is fulfilled in us who walk in the Spirit. Everything God said we need to experience the blessing has been fulfilled in us when we walk in the Spirit so blessings will come upon us and overtake us as in Deuteronomy.28:1-14 and the more Jesus added on our behalf.
Rejoice because you are the fulfillment of what God promised through Jesus therefore you cannot but win and triumph in all things that pertain to your life and godliness. Let this reality be your sword of offense against the enemy.
One more promised and accomplished word to close out the word of the Lord for today that should refresh, empower and enable you to have complete triumph in all things in life and bring conclusion to outstanding situations that require resolution in your favor.
In Colossians.2:13-15 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. Here again we see that Jesus has removed out of the way all trespasses and wiped out which is the key word, the handwriting of requirements that were written against us ever succeeding and triumphing in life.
They have been removed from blocking us and we are no longer subject to principalities and powers but to the ever present triumphing power of the Holy Spirit to experience the life and that in its fullest measure Jesus paid for us to experience in the now of life so His name is glorified in our lives. Jesus has made us more than Conquerors through His never failing love and loyalty to our triumph in life.
As you take hold of these truths and facts today because they have already happened. They are not promises you are hoping God will do. They have already been accomplished and you now need to receive them working in you now as you hear them and experience what Christ Jesus purchased for you.
Lay hold of every grace supplied through these words today and experience the full measure of everything contained in them as it is the Father’s good pleasure for you to have the Kingdom working on your behalf always and in all circumstances.
May you be completely enriched and empowered in your walk in the Lord going forward in Jesus name and see the miraculous as normal in your daily experience in life in Jesus name. Amen.
