In Christ in Heavenly Places

Heard Steve Thompson on Friday night, and he gave me a lot to think about. Heard that God is "waiting on me." Jesus is waiting for His enemies to be made into a footstool...who is He waiting upon? Upon me! To do His will! To make His enemies into a footstool. And that the creation is WAITING for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed (to come forward). God isn't going to DO stuff...He is waiting upon His people to BE the Christ(s) He made them to be. Christ in Me, the Hope of Glory! I was created to live in both realms, heavenly and on earth at the same time. Jesus lived in both realms simulateously. Why don't I experience it? Hmm

Bible wasn't written to tell me what is wrong with me and what I shouldnt' do. It is a mirror, telling me who I am. I'm a person sharing in the divine nature! I am a part of a brand new race of beings. Christians tend to see their progress as their conciousness of sin, but it doesnt' take faith to believe I'm a sinner, but it takes faith to beleive I am loved! Jeremiah 17:9 is my past, my old, dead life.

I was created to live and to rule with Christ on earth. And to agree with what God says about me isn't arrogance, it is humility. God wants me confident of who I am and what I can do in Christ. The devil wants me weak, helpless, introspective, and looking at my faults.

I must "walk toward" the prophetic word.
