“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.” (1 John 3:1)
It’s not everyone that gets elevated to become a child of God. To be a child of God is the greatest honor a human person can ever enjoy. Stop and think about it for a second. God, out of pure love for you, determined that He would give His life to you. So, if you were having trouble in your marriage or finances, all you need is do exactly what the Father would. Brood with the Word of God and then speak forth a divine outcome. (Read Genesis 1:1-3)
John 1:11-13 says, “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” This means that you can no longer be limited by blood. The limitations of your former earthly bloodline have been obliterated. You can walk out of every limitation that you considered, “hereditary.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he isa new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
This also means that you are no longer subject to the will of man. No witchcraft or intention of people can jeopardize your life. Even when people scheme against you. Because they did not will you into being, they can’t regulate the circumstances of your life. Maybe, your boss fired you for actually making a mistake. First of all, you made the mistake because you have yet to understand the God-life in you. Still, the Bible says, “...we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to Hispurpose” (Romans 8:28). There is nothing anyone can do to limit the life of God in you.
Then, the Bible says, that you are no longer subject to the will of the flesh and this one is the big one. You can switch off any enticement of the flesh by speaking words of the Spirit. If you want to pray or fast more, just declare it with your mouth. If you want to end a habit, don’t try. Speak words of the Spirit. Romans 8:13 says, “For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” The God-life is lived by speaking words empowered by the Spirit.
Hear me, you are unlimited. Now this is the lavish love of God, that you, a former human being, should be raised to the status of the God-kind. And this is the love that He extends to all humankind. The Bible declares that “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
God’s gift of His life to you was His ultimate act of love. You are loved beyond blood, beyond the will of people and beyond the dictates of the flesh by a God who demonstrated “...His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8)
If He did this much for you at your most unlovable state, how about now that you are His child. Is there a prayer He won’t grant? John 16:24 says, “Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” Understand that “... it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32)
Have a great day.
Faith-Filled Confession
I am loved by God beyond my wildest imagination. This is why I have the life of God in me. I live beyond the limits of my former bloodline, beyond the limits of the will of men and beyond the dictates of the flesh. As Jesus is, sinless and righteous, and pleasing to the Father, so am I in this world. Hallelujah!
