A MAN WITH GOD'S MIND
“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, BY A NEW AND LIVING WAY, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; LET US DRAW NEAR WITH A TRUE HEART IN FULL ASSURANCE OF FAITH, HAVING OUR HEARTS SPRINKLED FROM AN EVIL CONSCIENCE, AND OUR BODIES WASHED WITH PURE WATER.”(Hebrews 10:19—22)
Without God's revelation of what He has made us through the blood of His son Jesus Christ, one will be forever in bandage of self condemnation from the past life. The first work of the Holy spirit in anyone who have Him is to give the fellow an undaunted assurance of what God has made him or her which is not visible, though it has visible evidences. It is after you're established in faith of God's sonship that one can be useful unto God for others.
The work Jesus said to have finished on the cross in the gospels as He was giving up the ghost is much more than what any casual Christian can ever admit unless he or she sees it through revelation of God.
When we come to this knowledge which is by revelation, one will be totally devoid of whatever the past life has spotted in him or her. Such fellow can go ahead anywhere anytime, without withholding anything, giving the total testimonies of his or her past life which tells what mighty works Christ already done in the fellow, (it tells the goodness of God in us). It is that boldness that always disarms the devil our accuser.
The bible in James 4:7 says: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” How do we submit to God but accepting His laid down rules. That precedes and aids the power to get the devil fleeing from us. Casting out the devil anywhere is never on the loudness of our voices. As you humble yourself to God's verdict, there will the power of the Holy Ghost through the knowledge of who we're in God be released. Pretense in the spiritual don't work; either you're real or fake!
When I newly gave my life to Christ, I was very optimistic in sharing what I have seen, tasted, touched and handled in Christ, I went to visit a woman who lost her husband few months back, the spirit of God told me she was involving in adultery, I was afraid to tell her in the public, I went away. Due to unrest conscience I went to the woman the following morning. As I told her about the adultery, she replied me. “If any man be in Christ he's a new creature, all things are passed away and behold all things are become new.” I was watching the drama when she said, “if it were yesterday, I would've admitted, but as you left yesterday Someone came in and warned me, I've decided never again; I am now a new person!”
Do you see what I saw that day? Just overnight, she already established in the faith of Christ through justification over the past! But it has to do with sincerity.
Peter in the book of Luke 5:4-8. After he saw the great fishes filled his net, in verse 8, the bible says “When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; FOR I AM A SINFUL MAN, O Lord.”
But in Acts 10:9-14. When God let down the cage of different kinds of common and unclean beasts and asked him to eat, to the same Lord before whom Peter was a sinner in Luke 5:8, that same Lord Peter was bold to say in Acts 10:14 “But Peter said, not so, Lord; for I HAVE NEVER EATEN ANY THING THAT IS COMMON OR UNCLEAN.”
Lord help us! The same Peter of Luke 5:8, the same Peter we heard saying "I have never...” What a transformed mind!
Paul summarized this in 2Corinthians 5:17 and Galatians 6:15. which reads: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.”
YOU'RE GUILTLESS OF ANY PAST SIN IF YOU'VE SINCERELY ACCEPTED CHRIST, BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY? THEY ARE NO MORE YOUR OWN!
GREETINGS FROM THE THE SANCTUARY OF PEACE, THE PLACE OF GOD'S GRACE.
