No longer I who live
"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Galatians 2:20 NKJV). Jesus Christ, who awaits us, is looking down from the throne room of God the Father and interceding on our behalf that we would endure to the end. Jesus Christ has given us His heart, His personality, and His example in the church. He has given us the Holy Spirit so that you and I might grow into His image and reflect it in this world. As a man, Jesus did supernatural and powerful things, such as deliverances and things only the heavenly Father could do. He showed the church that what is impossible to the carnal man is not impossible to the spiritual man. He brought light to the dark world that has been covered and blanketed with selfishness and pride. There's only one way to live for Jesus Christ and that is to die to self. As a born-again believer, to die to self is not only in our vocabulary, but it becomes a daily habit. To live is not me, but letting Christ live in me. It is not about gaining power, nor is it about prosperity upon this earth. It is about representing Jesus Christ and His heavenly presence in the church today. We all need to come to the place where we will say, "Not I, but Christ". God bless you. Amen
