Be the head! Belong to Christ! If we belong to Jesus, who paid for us with His very own God-blood, we have access to the promises of God! The promises, found in His word, are yes, and amen; success in life through Jesus Christ!
29And if you belong to Christ [are in Him Who is Abraham's Seed], then you are Abraham's offspring and [spiritual] heirs according to promise. Galatians 3:29 (Amplified Bible)
So what exactly are the promises of God? Do they involve doing everything right, being perfect, and righteous out of our own striving? NO! But shouldn't we be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect? YES! That is why Jude, (the brother of Jesus, who calls himself the brother of James, the other brother of Jesus who calls himself, a bond servant of Christ) Jude says, "To HIM who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you faultless..." Only Jesus is able to present us before God as perfect, because He is the only perfect One. We must be crucified with Christ, to be risen with Him in glory. Even the prophets of old, the heroes of faith in Hebrew will not be perfected until that day when Jesus returns.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 1 Corinthians 13:9-11 (New King James Version)
Hebrews 11:40
God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.
Luke 13:32
And He said to them, “Go, tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.’
Oh Lord, help us to put away the things that lead us to believe lies about our inheritance in Christ. Holy Spirit lead us to love-sickness over Jesus. That we may hunger to experience Him, to become One with God through His Son.
21That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me. 22I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: 23I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me. John 17:21-23 (Amplified Bible)
We must have this encounter with the God-man Jesus! Lord we ask for it! Just as Jesus died to the flesh and has risen in glory, let us die to our flesh and put on our hope of glory, Jesus. We say 'yes' to receiving the burden of longing for Jesus to return, to desiring greatly whatever it takes for His path to be prepared, for the way of the Lord to be locked in our sight. THANK YOU GOD! for making us your sons and daughter, co-heirs with Christ Jesus, our Lord and King. All glory to You God, who is the author and finisher, the perfecter of our faith. Thank You Holy Spirit God, for the gifts of faith, hope, and love. Increase in us, Jesus.
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Galatians 3:26-27(New King James Version)
Deuteronomy 28:13
And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMISES, OUR FATHER GOD, HOLY IS YOUR NAME, OH GOD! PRAISES BE YOURS FOREVER! I LOVE YOUR WORD! (john 1:14)
