WAKE UP THE MIGHTY (PART 3). JULY 29TH.
TEXT: Ephesians 2:1-6King James Version
(KJV)
2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now
worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the
lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and
were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he
loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with
Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
If you claim to be alive, you are dead,
but if indeed you are dead, then you are alive. When you burry a seed, the
element in the earth, the ground will begin to work on it till it penetrates
and breaks the outer shell, stirs it up on the inside, until the potentials of
that seed is stirred up and it releases a shoot that breaks through the earth
(the ground) to begin a new life (Eph. 2:1). The same is applicable to the life
that is sown in the spirit, the Spirit of God will begin to work on that soul
until that life is quicken and the spirit comes alive, until this begins to
happen, transformation is not taking place in your life.
Those who are easily moved and carried
away do not have their roots deep in the life of the Spirit, and are still
under the influence of the spirit of the power of the air. When you are well
planted in God, you are not easily swayed.
If a man would live for God, you must like Paul, bring your body under
subjection, and not be conformed to the world. Paul made us to understand that
we are transformed by the power that comes from studying the word of God, that
is how we are changed and the giant on the inside is awakened. Your walk with
God should not be characterized by religiosity or by trying to prove you are
anointed. Let the glory on your inside rise as you deepen your walk with God,
then you won’t have need to call attention to yourself. When you get to that
place where you easily live for Him, you do it with gladness because the life
in the spirit is not a form but a glorious relationship full of gladness in
God. The reason some of us walk under a closed heaven is because we have not
come to the place of complete surrender. Let God have his way and the glory
will follow.
