United to the triune God through Christ, our spirit is infused with His power through His Spirit, and Christ lives in and through us (Ephesians 3:16-17). Since Christ is in us, even though our body is dying, His Spirit gives us His life (Romans 8:10).
When Jesus moves into our spirit, we walk by the
direction of His Spirit (Galatians 5:16, 25). We have supernatural strength
regardless of how we feel in body and soul.
Slowly, the Spirit changes us from glory to glory
until people see Jesus when they look at us (2 Corinthians 3:18). All of the
fullness of the triune God dwells in us through Jesus, at the same time that we
are in Him (Colossians 2:9; Romans 6:8).
Following the leading of God’s Spirit moment by
moment throughout the day results in physical productivity, a healthy mental
and emotional life, spiritual power and material blessings that we cannot even
imagine.
We submit our negative thoughts to the Lordship of
Jesus Christ for healing. We even lay down our positive thoughts; and, instead,
take up His thoughts as our own (Philippians 2:5).
Rather than to spend our financial blessings on
frivolous amusements and earthly treasures that are here today, but gone
tomorrow, we actually prefer to donate to our local church and to missionaries
doing the work of the Lord.
This makes the fruit of our labor last into eternity
(1 Corinthians 1:9, 6:17; 2
Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 1:3-14, 4:32, 5:22-33; Galatians 5:22-23; Acts 15:28). We submit our will to God's will and out of His glorious riches, He
provides for all of our needs (Philippians 4:19; Matthew 6:33).
Prayer:
Father God, You love us so much and You reveal
Yourself to us in a multitude of ways all throughout the day (John 14:21). We often get too busy to even notice Your
blessings. We spend our time so absorbed in our own plans and the issues in
front of us, that we fail to see Your provision and direction for us in the
midst of it all.
Make us ever mindful of Your intimate union with
our spirit, Your sanctification of our soul - our mind, will and emotions - and
the fact that You rejoice in our death, when we come to dwell with You for
eternity (Psalm 116:15). We praise You with all of our heart, mind and
strength.
Thought for the Day:
There is little need to understand Biblical Truth
prior to forming our union with God's Trinity, because once we utilize the
faith of the Son of God for salvation, the Spirit will teach us all things. - 1 John 2:27
