Take Your Place Kenneth Copeland [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding [the wonders of His Person]more strongly and more clearly. And that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection. – Philippians 3:10 The more you fellowship with God around His Word, the more youll know the power outflowing from His resurrection. Youll develop joy. Youll develop faith. Youll start developing Gods own characteristics... just by fellowshiping with Him. Youll begin to understand who you really are in Jesus. I remember one day I was reading the story of the woman with the issue of blood who touched the hem of Jesus garment and was healed. Id read the story many times and pictured myself as almost everybody in the story...just experiencing how it would feel to be someone in the crowd or even the one who was healed. Suddenly God spoke to my spirit and said, Read that again and this time picture yourself as the one wearing the garment. I was stunned. Lord, I said, how can I do that? I cant take Your place! Thats just whats wrong with the Body of Christ, He told me. Thats the reason the world doesnt know anything about Jesus. You identify with everyone except Me. But I sent you to be MY witnesses, to imitate ME, to stand in MY place...not everybody elses! So, I read that story again. This time I pictured myself in the role of the one with the anointing of the Holy Ghost. Instead of crawling up to touch the hem of His garment, I was the one wearing the garment, freely giving what God had given me. After all, the Bible does say, Clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ. Did you know who scares the devil most of all? Believers whove found out they can do that. Believers who, instead of begging for a little touch from Jesus, are letting His very life flow out to others. Come on, give the devil a scare. Fellowship with your Father around the Word and start discovering who you really are today.
