THE UNBELIEVING BELIEVER The Average Believer Here is a sorry picture, an unhappy one. It is a denial of the Word. It is a confession of Satans supremacy. It is the affirmation of weakness. It is a subtle inspiration from the adversary that declares that God is a liar. The average believer wouldnt admit it if you asked him. He says, I am in Him. I am in Christ. I know that I am a New Creation. I know that I have Eternal Life, but I cant conquer this. I cant overcome that. Im so weak. I just live in bondage. I cant rise above my circumstances. Such Christians do not know that God delivered them out of the realm of darkness where they were living and translated them into the kingdom of the Son of His Love. In Him they have their redemption from all these things that they are suffering now. In the mind of the Father they are redeemed. Not only are they redeemed, but also they are masters where they once served as slaves. Psa. 27:1: Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? That was not written to Israel. This is a New Creation truth. Here is Salvation. Here is Light. There is no reason why you should ever walk in darkness again. He is the Light of Life Jesus is the Light of Life. That Life is Eternal Life. The Eternal Life that you have received has in it the Light, the Wisdom, and the ability of God. It is now the very strength of your life. You have Gods ability and Gods strength. You neednt be afraid of anybody or of anything. He is the very strength of your physical body, of your mind, and of your spirit. You see, it wouldnt honor the Father to have a family of weaklings. It wouldnt glorify Him to have His children held in bondage by the adversary. He wants His children free. He has set them free. Now you can see what Eternal Life does for a man. You can see that Eternal Life is the Nature of the Father, and that when it gains control of our sense-ruled minds it can lead us out of any weakness, any condition, any circumstances where we have been held in captivity into the very Light and Life of Christ. Every believer is a master in the mind of the Father. We are Gods men. We are the New Creation folks; and it is a disgrace to Heaven to have us wallow in weakness, failure, and lack. Let us say now, I am what God says I am. The Two Kinds of Life.
