YOU HAVE ALL THINGS IN CHRIST
Therefore, let no man glory in men. For
all things are yours
(1 Corinthians 3:21).
s u n d a y 24
In Luke 11:11-13, the Lord Jesus said, “If a son
shall ask bread of any of you that is a father,
will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for
a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg,
will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts unto your children: how
much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy
Spirit to them that ask him?” Here, He was teaching
people of the old covenant, the Jews, about faith in
God; how to “get” things from God.
However, today, for us as new creations in Christ,
things are different. We don’t try to “get” anything from
God, because we have all things in Christ. The Bible
says, “According as his divine power hath given unto
us all things that pertain unto life and godliness…”
(2 Peter 1:3). The tenses show that it’s already done:
God has given you ALL things that pertain to life and
godliness.
Many have misunderstood the teachings of Jesus
on faith. Those teachings really don’t apply to the new
creation, because He was teaching a principle to men
and women of the senses, who didn’t understand faith
as a lifestyle. They didn’t understand how to live from
inside out.
Everything you desire in life is already inside you.
There’s no need to try to “get” anything from God as
though it’s coming from outside. You don’t need to
try to get what you already have. What you need is to
know how to bring into physical manifestation, that
which already belongs to you in Christ.
There’s no provision of the Gospel that isn’t
already your legal possession in Christ. You only need
to speak them forth. What you say becomes. Whatever
you desire or require today is already yours; call it forth
and it’ll appear. Glory to God!
CONFESSION
I’m an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ; I own
the world. The silver and the gold are mine, and the
cattle upon a thousand hills are mine. I lay up gold
as dust, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. The Lord has
brought me into a large place; a place of abundant
supply and wealth untold! Blessed be God!
