Read Rhapsody Of Realities Your True Origin And Identity . Sunday, December 28th . Pastor Chris They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world (John 17:16). There’re those who say that having received the life of Christ, you still have your old nature. Thats not true, according to the Scriptures. You don’t have two natures; you have only one, and its the nature of God. The question however is, “Where do you live? With what consciousness do you function?” As Christians, we live simultaneously in two worlds. Once youre born again, you’re alive to God; you’re awakened to the fatherhood of God and to the reality of the Kingdom of God. You must realize that you’re a new creation, born of the Word and Spirit of the Lord. Therefore, even though you’re in this world, youre not of the world. When the Lord Jesus said, “I’m from above”; the Jews sneered at Him. They knew He was born physically in Nazareth; yet He said to them, “I’m from above.” They were offended at Him because they didn’t understand spiritual realities. Jesus told the truth about His origin and identity. Like Him, youre from above. You have the same life and nature with Him. This is who you are now; not who you’re “trying” or “growing” to be. When a woman gives birth, the baby doesnt become more human as he grows. No matter how small the baby is at birth or the fact that he doesn’t walk immediately, cant sit, eat, and talk; hes still completely human. It’s the same with you; you’re hundred percent divine. Youre of God; you hail from Him. Your origin is in Him. Youre not of this world! This is the reality. PRAYER Dear Father, I thank you for my origin and identity in Christ. I refuse to operate by the failing principles that govern the world’s systems. I operate by a higher and different set of rules, for Im from above; separated from the world unto the glory-life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. ; 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light
