We confess our sin. We say, “I
repent”. Then later when again tempted we succumb to the temptation and here we
go again…confess, repent, tempted, succumb and on and on it goes. Or better,
around and around we go in the wilderness of our soul never going up the
mountain but going around it. We make camp in the wilderness around the word
unmerited which closes our eyes to the completed work of Christ rather than looking
into His grace (favor).
When
we finally get to the place that we truly have had enough of this and truly
begin to work out our salvation in fear and trembling and turn to Him and only
Him we will find Him waiting to reveal our true self which is within Him. He
has been there waiting for us to come to Him who is our life.
We will never
come to know Him apart from His word because He is His Word and it is
established forever. To look for multiple ways to get out of our mess that we
created out of our own mouth is what the Apostle James calls double minded.
Actually the literal
Greek says such a one is two souled, is unstable in all his ways and he should
not expect anything from the Lord. The word
unstable in the Greek is even stronger than unstable for it is close akin to
anarchic.
In Eph 4:22-25
Paul says to once and for all with all finality throw off the lie that we now
have two natures and to cast off in one final act the old man which was
corrupted in lust filled lies and renew our thinking to that of the spirit and
thereby once and for all put on the new man which has been created out of God
within righteousness and holiness out of the veritable manifested essence of
truth.
If you have been
born from the highest place out of the spirit of God (Jn 1:13) you have been
given His promises to partake of and thereby receive a divine nature (2 Ptr
1:4) as one birthed anew.
If you have been
born anew you are seated NOW within Him in heavenly places. RENEW YOUR MIND AND
TAKE YOUR SEAT! From that place of seating you will be at rest and will be ready
to administer His love and all which His love contains.
These three
remain forever – faith, hope, love – the greatest of which is unconditional
love!
