RIGHT BELIEVING = RIGHT DOING

LORD I THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME FAITH AND THE GRACE TO APPLY THAT FAITH TO WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO DO AS I WRITE.

BLESS THE LORD!

So if you read the blog yesterday the Word teaches us that In Christ Jesus we have been made holy.
That it wasn't a suggestion but a decree and declaration.

Right believing will manifest right doing.
Amen
My brother In Christ in Singapore, Pastor Joseph Prince said that.

I am no longer endorsing men but I am giving honor where honor is due.
Too often we fail to honor the very integrity that we preach.

Thinking more highly of our selves than we out to and not honoring the different gifts and parts of the body, forgetting that God has given each of us different abilities and that He has enabled us to do them well by His Spirit.

The mantle is the Holy Spirit.
Amen

So now we know that all who received Christ as Lord and Saviour, we have been made holy through Christ Jesus.
Washed by His blood and that it is the Word of God that sanctifies us.
If you don't know and believe that you are holy it's hard to put sickness under your feet.

Do you believe that you have been delivered from the power of darkness?
Or is someone telling you that you are disqualified?
The Word teaches that you not allow anyone to disqualify you.
No man can disqualify what God has qualified.
Amen.

That kind of disqualifying haunts the people who preach it when they have symptoms, and it's hard for them to believe because they poured that mess into someone's heart.
Pray for a turning from the lie to a turning to the truth. (repentance)

LISTEN
While some are yelling at their congregations and blaming them for the state of their life, giving the impression that they aren't good enough or doing enough to qualify for deliverance or blessing...

While some believe that young men and women are departing from church because it isn't fun enough,
Instead of truth the people are looking to make it fun ( It's not that it isn't fun to worship and serve God's purpose, it's that people are tired of being condemned.)

This is what the Lord wants you to know:
Since you have died with Christ to the basic principles of this world (sin), it's not necessary for you to live like you still belong to it.

What does that mean?

Anything based on man's idea of what is right apart from God is going to perish forever.
Like you trying to discipline your self to read the bible everyday, or you simply trying to be good.
(man's efforts)
Like trusting in the psychology of personality types, you may as well read a horoscope and put your trust in that.

You might start out building something with the principles used in corporate America like how IBM runs it's business and succeed but because whatever it is really wasn't rooted and grounded In Christ, it is going to dry up.

See that no man manipulates you with deceptive philosophy and useless prideful words that depend on human tradition and how the world system conducts business.

All the fullness of the Godhead bodily dwells In Christ. You are complete In Him.

This is the deal.
The only thing that will remain Is Christ and His Word.
You have been raised with Christ and since you have been raised with Christ, the Word says to set your hearts on things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God, not on earthly things.

What does that mean?
Does that mean become a hermit and pray all day and all night?
No.

That means to rely on what Christ has already done as being what makes you holy, successful and qualified, trusting in His supernatural help, partnership, love and not your natural ability to abstain from things.
This is how you are justified not by your doing but His doing.

You died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
Therefore if any man be In Christ, he is a new creature: old things ( thinking) is passed away; behold all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17
But people haven't put on the new because they have not truly learned about Christ according to Ephesians chapters four and five.

They are praying Lord please help me with this sin nature because they haven't learned that He already has.

Folks are learning a lot of things, they get the Easter story and how Jesus fed 5,000 and walked on water and raised Lazarus, but they don't understand that He has raised them up to sit in heavenly places with Him.

If they have been taught by Christ and not just about Christ who is the truth they would know that He says:
Put off the lifestyle of the man who was lost and lacking power, the dying man's clothes, the grave clothes.
Ephesians 6:10

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; put on the new man, who after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Put on your white robe.

Putting on that which is renewed in the knowledge of God, The One that created you.

He said, babies this is who you are now, you are children of light.

When you understand where you are seated you put to death everything that people preach you shouldn't do and you should do.

Don't do this, do that.
And the things that you do, you do them all in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God The Father by Christ.
You have been circumcised in the spirit and that old mess has been cut away so shake it off.

You don't commit sin in the Name of Jesus.

The things that belong to the earthly nature(the part that has no power): sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed which is idolatry, anger,rage, malice, slander, filthy language, fornication, covetousness, uncleanness.
These things aren't done in the authority of Jesus.

These are the things that give place to the devil.

This is not ethics which asks us to become what we are not.

This is The Gospel that shows us who we are In Christ.

Whatever makes the truth manifest is light.
This is how the peace of God rules in our hearts.

Colossians 2:6-23
Colossians 3:1-17
Meditate this today in a couple of different versions.
NASB, KJV, AMP

SET YOUR ATTENTION ON CHRIST.

LOVE Y'ALL
