Your Oneness and Identity in Christ

 YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST IS NOT A GOAL, IT'S A STARTING POINT.

Most Christians spend their entire lives working toward something the new birth already made them. They strive for a righteousness they already possess. They pursue a holiness they already carry. They treat their identity n Christ as a destination they have not yet reached - and the enemy never has to work hard to keep them defeated. Because a believer who is working toward their identity will never walk in their authority. 

 The church has produced generations of believers who are working towards something they already are. They are striving for a righteousness they already possess. They are pursuing a holiness they already carry. They are trying to become something that the new birth already made them. And the enemy has not had to work hard to keep them defeated. Because a believer who is working toward their identity will never walk in their authority. A believer who treats who they are in Christ as a destination they have not yet reached will spend their entire Christian life in the posture of a beggar when they were born into the posture of a king. 

    And this is not a minor theological error. This is the central misunderstanding that governs most of  the Christian life because everything flows from identity. 

Every prayer is shaped by what you believe you are. 

 Every declaration is colored by what you believe you carry. Every act of faith is either empowered or crippled by your answer to the most fundamental question in the Christian life. Not what can God do, bụt who are you in Christ right now.

This is identified as the root problem with devastating clarity. We have preached condemnation and sin so long that we do not know how to preach righteousness and to tell people what they are in Christ. When someone does tell them, they feel it is false teaching." The church has been so saturated with the consciousness of what it was before salvation that it has never entered the consciousness of what it became at salvation. And the result is a body of believers who know the cross intellectually but have never entered the new creation experientially. 

 Who know they are forgiven but have never grasped that forgiveness was only the beginning. Who know they are saved but have never discovered what they were saved into. Because salvation is not the destination. Salvation is the starting line. The new birth is not the finish line of the Christian life. It is

The Shocking Truth About How Religion Shrinks What Jesus Finished

 God didn't give you a limited redemption but most believers are living as if He did. Why? Because they're measuring infinite truth with a natural mind. 

In this message, you'll discover why Jesus Christ is your Redemption, Wisdom, Sanctification, and Life-and why the limits of those realities are the limits of Christ Himself. This will challenge everything you've been taught about faith, reason, and what's actually possible in your life.

    You're measuring God's redemption with your tiny mind and missing everything. 

   God made Jesus Christ to be your redemption and you're setting limits on it based on what your natural mind can understand. 

     You're shrinking infinite power down to the size of your human reasoning and it's costing you everything God intended for you. 

Now, I want you to notice that God has made Jesus Christ to be our redemption. 

Apostle Paul said in Ephesians chapter 1 verse 7, "In whom we have our redemption." 

     First Corinthians 1:30 declares that he is our redemption. You dare to measure that. You dare to set limits on that. The limits of that redemption are the limits of Jesus Christ. He was made unto us wisdom from God. The limits of that wisdom are the limits of the eternal Son of God. He has made unto us sanctification. The limits of that sanctification are the limits of Jesus. He is our life. And the limits of that life are the limits of the life of the son ot God. Think about what that means. 

When you try to measure your redemption, you're trying to measure Jesus Christ. When you try to set limits on what God can do in you, you're trying to set limits on the Son of God. 

When you say, "I can only go this far," I think you're saying, "Jesus can only go that far." And that's absurd. You see, our feeble reasoning has pushed faith out of  the arena. The devil can combat successfully against our reason. But if faith gets reason's place, Satan is defeated. 

The great body of the most advanced Bible teachers today are held in the bondage of sense knowledge. 

 Their interpretations are often evasions because of the opinions of men. They dare not take their real place. 

 Consequently, the Word of God has little effect. They know what the Word says,  but they explain it away because it doesn't fit their rational understanding. They diminish it, water it down, make it reasonable to the natural mind. 

   Let us humbly and fearlessly, and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, take our place if we are new creations created in Christ Jesus. 

   Let us ask our Father God to set the limits of that new creation instead of allowing theologians to do it. 

  Faith will lead you where reason cannot walk. Reason has never been a mountain climber. 

Faith, like a mountain sheep, can scale the loftiest mountain peaks without fear. Reason looks at the mountain and says, "Impossible."

  Faith looks at the mountain and climbs. I offer this as a subject for meditation, not controversy. I offer this as a contribution after years of heart searching, of reaching after the bigger, fuller life in Christ.

   I know it is not in the realm of reason, but I know it is where faith walks. And GOD is challenging us in these last days to get the light and the knowledge that will fit us for the closing of this dispensation. 

THE MESSAGE THAT JOHN WESLEY BROUGHT WAS TRUTH , but it was only part of THE TRUTH . John Calvin had only a little of the light. There have been revelations continually from the Word during these hundreds of years. 

  Don't you think it is time that we passed out of the swaddling clothes period into the stature of the perfect man in Christ Jesus. We've been spiritual infants for too long. We've been content with milk when we should be eating meat. We've been  satisfied with the basics when God has so much more for us. 

If you've beginning to understand that you've been limiting God's power in your life with your human reasoning,  read on , because what I'm about to show you will break those mental chains and release you into everything God intended. 

  So, let us DARE TO CLIMB THE HEIGHTS OF GOD . Let us say without fear, " I AM WHAT HE SAYS I AM." HE IS IN ME WHAT HE SAYS HE IS.

I can do with His ability in me what He says I can. This makes life big and rich. This makes us worthwhile to HIM. This will make us partners with HIM. We will be in that prized inner circle with  HIM. One of the trusted ones. 

WHEN HE HAS A DIFFICULT MISSION , HE will call on us. You see, he will find it easy to reach us as we constantly visit him. 

   Take your place. Enjoy your rights. 

Now, let me show you what this looks like when you stop limiting GOD'S REDEMPTION with your  reasoning.

  You're facing a situation that seems impossible. Every logical analysis says it can't be done. Your natural mind is telling you to give up. Be realistic.  Accept defeat.

But then you remember Jesus Christ is your  redemption. And the limits of that redemption are the limits OF JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF . So, if Jesus Christ has no limits, then your redemption has no limits. If nothing is impossible with God, then  nothing is impossible in your redemption.

So, instead of listening to your reasoning , you activate your faith. 

You don't look at what your mind can understand. You look at what the Word says. And the Word says, "All things are possible to him that believes." 

The Word says you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.

The Word says , "Greater is HE that is in you than he that is in the world."

   Your reasoning says, "Those are just nice verses that don't mean what they actually say." Your faith says those verses mean exactly what they say. And you choose faith over reason.  You speak to that impossible situation. You declare what the Word says. And you watch faith take you where reason could never go. 

   You're struggling with a problem that requires wisdom beyond your natural ability. Your education doesn't cover it. Your experience doesn't prepare you for it. Your intelligence isn't sufficient for it. And your reasoning says you're not qualified to handle this. But then you remember Jesus Christ was made unto you wisdom from God. And the limits of that wisdom are the limits of the eternal Son of God. 

So, if God's wisdom is infinite, then the wisdom available to you is infinite. If God knows everything, then you have access to that knowledge through Christ who is your wisdom. So, instead of  panicking because you don't know what to do , you ask for wisdom. 

Apostle James says, "If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives liberally."  You're not limited to your natural intelligence. You have access to divine wisdom. Unlimited. Infinite. Always  available. And as you ask, as you expect, as you believe, that wisdom comes, not as a mystical feeling, but it comes as  clear direction, as sudden insight, as understanding you didn't have a moment ago.  Because Christ is your wisdom, and the limits of that wisdom are the limits of God Himself. 

You're dealing with an area of your life that NEEDS TO BE SET APART for GOD. 

  YOUR REASONING SAYS IT'S TO0 HARD. You've tried before and failed. You'll never be able to live wholly in that area. Your past failures prove it's impossible.  But then you remember, Jesus Christ is made unto you SANCTIFICATION. And the limits of that sanctification are the limits of Jesus Christ. So, if Jesus Christ is perfectly holy, and he is your sanctification, THEN YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THAT SAME HOLINESS. Not by trying harder, not by religious effort, but by Christ in you. So, instead of trying to sanctify yourself in your own strength, you let HIM be your sanctification. You stop trying, and start trusting. You stop striving, and start resting in the FACT THAT He is your holiness. CHRIST IS YOUR HOLINESS. 

  And what was impossible in your own effort, becomes reality through His life in you. 

You're facing circumstances that are draining your life, your energy, your vitality. You're exhausted. You're depleted. You're running on empty. And your reasoning says you just need to rest more. Take a vacation. Slow down. But then you remember, JESUS CHRIST IS YOUR LIFE. And the limits of that life are the LIMITS OF THE LIFE OF THE SON OF GOD.  So, if his life is eternal, inexhaustible, unlimited, then the life available to you IS THE SAME. Because he doesn't give you some  of His life, He is your Life. HE IS YOUR LIFE. 

So, instead of just trying to manage your exhaustion, you tap into His life. You draw from THE WELL THAT NEVER RUNS DRY. You access the THE ENERGY THAT RAISED JESUS CHRIST  FROM THE DEAD. And you find that in your weakness, His strength is made perfect. That when you're depleted , HIS LIFE FLOODS IN.

Right now, speak  🗣️ out . " JESUS CHRIST IS MY REDEMPTION,  MY WISDOM, MY SANCTIFICATION, MY LIFE."

Not I hope he will help me. Not maybe he will give me some of these things. Jesus Christ is these things to me. Because that's what the Word says, and God's Word is final. 

Now, here's the problem with most Christians. They hear these truths, and their reasoning immediately kicks in. That can't mean what it sounds like. That's too good to be true. THAT'S EXTREME.  That's taking it too far. And so, they water it down. They explain  it away. They make it reasonable to their natural  mind. They set limits based on what makes sense to them. And in doing so, they push faith out of the arena, and let reason take its place. 

And the moment reason takes faith's place, Satan wins. Because the devil can successfully combat your reasoning. 

He can out-argue you. He can present evidence. He can use logic. He can make you doubt. He can confuse your mind. But he cannot combat faith.

   When faith takes its place, when you believe what God said, regardless of what your reasoning says, when you stand on the Word even when it doesn't make sense,  Satan is defeated because faith doesn't operate in the realm where Satan has power.

   This is why so many Bible teachers, even advanced ones, are in bondage. They know what the Word says.  They can quote the verses. They can explain the Greek and Hebrew, but they're held captive by sense knowledge. THEY CAN'T ACCEPT ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T FIT THEIR RATIONAL FRAMEWORK. So, when the Word says something that seems too good to be true, they explain it away. They say it doesn't really mean that. They add limitations. They insert qualifications. They make it reasonable.  And in doing so, they rob it of ITS POWER.

 BUT I'M TELLING YOU TODAY, stop letting theologians set the limits of your new creation. Stop letting your reasoning determine what God can do in you.  Stop measuring infinite redemption WITH YOUR FINITE MIND. 

LET THE FATHER SET THE LIMITS in you.

Greatest Guarantee Is That Our Father Leads His Children

      One of the greatest guarantees we have as believers, as children of the Lord, is that our father leads us.     

    The Bible mentions this truth countless times. And one particular scripture we will look at today before we pray together is found in Isaiah 58:1. 

     And it says, "The Lord will guide you always.  He will satisfy your needs in a sun scorched land and wil strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. And this is just one of many. 

 We see the promise of the Lord's guidance in individual promises throughout scripture. 

  And we see it in the stories of men and women that walked with the Lord. 

 We see how the Lord has led them through valleys, through deserts, wildernesses, difficult situations, and how he guided their daily life. And I believe he does the same today for those who trust HIM.

    If there is one thing we can be sure of, one thing we can bet our lives on, it's that God doesn't change. 

 If God says he will do something, he isn't just saying it to get our hopes up, he means it. And particularly when he speaks through the pages of his word, you can definitely be sure that whatever He says will come to pass. 

The Bible says in Isaiah 55:1,  So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth. It shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. 

 Numbers 23:19 also assures us, "God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. 

 Hath he said and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken and shall he not make it good? 

  That's why I know that if God says He will lead us, if he says he will go before us, then he means it. In fact, I feel we don't give God enough credit for how much he is willing to be with and in us in our struggles and lead us. 

 There was a time in my life when I discovered that I got unsettled easily whenever I felt I didn't have enough. 

 I didn't like when contracts dwindled. 

 I didn't like when my bank account went down. 

 I was constantly agitated because I felt like all of these things relied on me. I had to make it work. And I became worked up when it didn't work out. I needed things to work. 

 I claimed to be a Christian, but I didn't really trust the Lord to lead me in this particular area of my life. 

 It took a while, a long while, but one day I came to an understanding. 

 I came to realize that one, I wasn't really trusting God to lead me in this part of my life.

3:30 When I did start trusting him, I realized that he's made provision for me in this area, and Ijust had to trust 

3:37 him to lead me through it. And I asked him to. 

3:42 I told him I was going to trust him through it and that was how the trusting began and he began to lead me. 

  The beginning was rocky and sometimes I still don't let HIM lead as I should. But l asked, I trusted, am l at the place where I trust God 100% to lead me?  I don't know, but I know He probably started with me at zero.  This journey taught me a few things I'd like to point out this morning. 

 One, I found that we can trust God differently on different issues. We commit things to God differently. 

  Some believe in God leading them through their financial life, but don't trust HIM to lead them through other areas, say family, relationships,  healing. or even through emotional pain. And if we don't trust God on an issue, we really aren't open to HIM leading us through it. And we need to trust God through all, through everything. 

     The Bible says in Proverbs 3: verses 5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. 

 Seek His will in all you do and He will show you which path to take. 

 The second thing I noticed in my own experience is that trusting the Lord to lead us is a journey and that journey is gradual.  That gradual process however doesn't start without a commitment. 

     You have to start by trusting the Lord to go before you and lead you a day at a time. 

     Asking HIM to lead you daily is most important because if you can't trust God to lead you for a day, you definitely can't trust HIM for a month. It has to start with the most basic, the lowest value of time you have and can abide with. 

   You have to be able to give that to HIM.  You have to let HIM lead you through that first.  It is when you allow HIM to lead you that things change.  And believe me, you have to allow the Lord to lead you.  You have to be willing to follow because God can't lead someone who doesn't follow HIM. No one can really. 

   The Bible says in Isaiah 45:2 when the Lord was speaking to Cyrus, he said, "I will go before you and make the crooked places straight. I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron." And that is what he is saying to all of us this morning. 

 When the Lord leads you, he goes before you and clears your path. When the Lord is in charge of your life,  you make better decisions, better choices. You see better.  You have the help of not just the natural but also the supernatural world, the heavenly realm. 

 That is the advantage God's leading offers us. 

 Also, besides the fact that the journey of God leading us daily helps us to make better decisions,   it also attunes us to knowing the voice of God. 

     It helps us to know when God is speaking. It strengthens our discernment. 

     The Bible says in Isaiah 30:21 that your ears shall hear a word behind you saying, "This is the way. Walk in it." 

   Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left, when this voice speaks, you recognize it. And it's only by that recognition that we can be led properly. 

   People who have given themselves to following the leading of God know his voice. They know when the Lord speaks. 

 That's one of the ways we train ourselves to hear the voice of God.  It's how we train ourselves to know what He is saying each time. By constantly listening, by constantly following. Scripture says in John 10 27,  "My sheep listen to my voice, I know them and they follow me."  John 10:5 also says something profound. It says, "And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him,  for they know not the voice of strangers." 

  This means that these sheep have learned and been able to discern the Shepherd's voice by constantly following His lead, constantly listening to HIM. They know the voice of a stranger. They know when it's not their Shepherd. They know when it's not the Lord. 

 That is a perfect picture of what we must become as believers.

We must be so used to following the leading of the Lord that we already know His voice. 

 We know what He says because we have walked with HIM, gone through His word, learned His voice, and we know HIM. 

 If you are ready to commit to following His voice this morning, if you are saying in your heart, "Lord, teach me to follow you, go before me, and lead me today", then I congratulate you and invite you to say this prayer this morning, a prayer to invite HIM into your day. 

🙏🏽 

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for this morning and for this Word. 

 Thank you for explaining it and causing me to see light in it.  Thank you for using this Word to open my eyes. 

 Thank you for being intentional about my life because I know I didn't receive this devotional by accident. 

 You made it possible for me to see it, hear it, and be blessed by it. Thank you Lord.

 Heavenly Father, I know I have not been faithful or stable in following your leading. 

 I have not always treated Your direction with the seriousness it deserves. Many times I have gone ahead of You. 

 I have done things on my own, trusted my thoughts, leaned on my understanding, and made decisions that seemed right in the moment. 

 I have not truly keyed into the leading You have made available to YOUR children, YOUR sheep, those who belong to You. Lord, l acknowledge this before You today. I apologize because l know I have not made You a part of my life in this area as I should. I have not acknowledged You as I should. 

 I have not paused enough to ask what You were saying or waited enough to hear YOUR instruction.

 I have often preferred my own pace, plans, and reasoning. And for that, Lord, I ask YOUR mercy. 

 Father, this morning, I ask that YOU help me to follow YOU. Teach me what it means to truly lean into YOUR leading and not merely speak about it. 

 Help me to become more attuned to when YOU are speaking to me. 

 Help me Lord to know what you are saying at every point in time. Let this become a real part of me. Let it not be a rare or occasional experience, but let it become a way of life for me. 

 I ask that being attentive to YOUR words, whether You speak to me through scripture, through peace in my spirit, through conviction, or through a gentle nudge in the right path, would become as natural and as steady as breathing. 

Train my heart to pause before You. Train my spirit to listen. Train my life to respond. 

 And Father, I know there are many voices in the world.  Many of them are not You, but they want to be heard regardless. Lord, I do not submit myself to these voices. I submit myself to You. Help me to know when you are speaking. 

Help me to know when it is You that is leading me. Fill me with a renewed spirit that is able to discern truth from lie. A spirit that is able to discern YOUR voice from that of the stranger. I refuse to be deceived even as I learn to follow YOUR lead in this journey. 

 Father, I know also that one of the ways I can be sure of when You are speaking is by knowing Your voice, by knowing what You can say, by knowing Your heart through YOUR Word. 

 And I know that the way to grow in this is to stay in YOUR Word and let Your Word abide richly in me.

 So this morning, Lord, I ask for the grace to be committed to a life of studying scripture. 

  Help me to be committed to a life that truly prioritizes Your Word. l ask that You would give me a deep hunger for YOUR Word today.  Let there be in me a fresh desire to sit with scripture, to meditate on it, to understand it, and to treasure it. 

Let it not be difficult for me to settle down and read through scripture from this moment on. 

Remove every resistance. Remove distraction, laziness, inconsistency, and every excuse that keeps me from feeding on Your truth. Help me to have a study life. 

 Help me to love Your Word, to return to it daily, and to build my thoughts around what You have said. 

 Let Your Word shape my decisions, direct my steps, and become the standard by which I recognize YOUR leading. 

 Heavenlv Father. I thank You because I know You have heard me this morning. I thank You because from now on You lead me. You go before me, and You show me which way to go, what to do, and You make the crooked places straight. 

Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful day. Thank you for what you're about to do. 

And thank you for this new journey that is starting today. In Jesus' name, amen. 🙏🏽 

Thank you for believing this prayer with me this morning. And from now on, the Lord goes before you and leads you. Don't forget to always start your day by saying this prayer. "Lord, go before me and lead me today." Also, please share freely with whoever willing to be lead by God any part of today's devotional that was a blessing to you. 

 Once again, thank you for joining us this morning and have a blessed day ahead.

Worship God. In the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Seven Lessons for Our Day

 We may each draw modern-day lessons from the messages of the seven messengers in the Ephesus to Laodicean periods ( From the book of Revelation) :

1. Put priorities straight. If, for example, knowing whether the thousand years begins with our Lord’s return or with the completion of the church seems more important than telling people what the thousand years will do for them—then one’s priorities are backwards.

2. If someone threatens you with eternal torture because you cannot conscientiously agree with him, take it patiently.

3. Do not profess “None of self, and all of Thee” when you really want “Some of self, and some of Thee.”

4. Do not insist others do it your way. Do not feel challenged when they don’t. It is better to lose a would-have-been battle, than to rule with an iron fist and lose your Christian life.

5. First, harmonize all Scriptures on a subject, then say, “This is truth.” The just shall live by faith.

6. Desire and try to do your part, and help others do their part, in presenting this gospel of the kingdom in all the world. Sactification. 

7. It is vital to see one’s own shortcomings to see the need of Christ’s merit. Salvation depends upon one’s relationship to Christ, not upon an acceptability to even the best man-made institution.  Back to the Word.

What is Coram Deo?

 Coram Deo is a Latin phrase meaning “before the face of God.” It is often associated with John Calvin and other Reformers who summoned the Christian to live all of life in God’s presence.

For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

- Psalm 56:13

More specifically, pastors have been charged in the presence of God to preach the word.

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.

- 2 Timothy 4:1-2 , from apostle Paul.

The Coram Deo Pastors Conference was created to remind pastors of our great God, to recharge preachers to teach with clarity and conviction, and to reinvigorate the weary soul for a life of ministry faithfulness before the face of God.
