Today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers has a very important message to share with us!
Moral Dominion
Death hath no more dominion over Him…in that He liveth, He liveth unto
God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive
unto God. — Romans 6:9-11
Co-Eternal Life. Eternal life was the life which Jesus Christ
exhibited on the human plane, and it is the same life, not a copy of it, which
is manifested in our mortal flesh when we are born of God. Eternal life is not
a gift from God, eternal life is the gift of God. The energy and the
power which was manifested in Jesus will be manifested in us by the sheer
sovereign grace of God when once we have made the moral decision about sin.
Ye shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost — not power as a gift from
the Holy Ghost; the power is the Holy Ghost, not something which He
imparts. The life that was in Jesus is made ours by means of His Cross when
once we make the decision to be identified with Him. If it is difficult to get
right with God, it is because we will not decide definitely about sin.
Immediately we do decide, the full life of God comes in. Jesus came to give us
endless supplies of life: “that ye might be filled with all the fulness of
God.” Eternal Life has nothing to do with Time, it is the life which Jesus
lived when He was down here. The only source of Life is the Lord Jesus Christ.
The weakest saint can experience the power of the Deity of the Son of
God if once he is willing to “let go.” Any strand of our own energy will blur
the life of Jesus. We have to keep letting go, and slowly and surely the great
full life of God will invade us in every part, and men will take knowledge of
us that we have been with Jesus.
This is SO good! I am referring especially to the underlined portions! We KNOW that HE has given us Eternal Life, but the right perspective makes all the difference inthe world! Eternal Life is NOT just God bestowing a GIFT on us! He is giving us HIMSELF! Holy Spirit is the presence and power of God manifested on the earth in this age, and HE desires to live BIG in each of us, and ALL of us! I hope that this inspires YOU to learn more about Holy Spirit, His power, His ways and His presence! HE is waiting on YOU, so GO FOR IT! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Worship with "The Passion":
VERSE 1:
The passion of our Saviour
The mercy of our God
The cross that leaves no question
Of the measure of His love
CHORUS:
Our chains are gone
Our debt is paid
The cross has overthrown the grave
For Jesus’ blood that sets us free
Means death to death
And life for me
VERSE 2:
The Innocent judged guilty
While the guilty one walks free
Death would be His portion
And our portion liberty
BRIDGE:
I give my whole life
To honour this love
By the Lamb who was slain
I’m forgiven
The sinner’s Saviour
Crown Him forever
For the Lamb who was slain
He is risen
Shalom in Him!
