Transformed into the IMAGE OF GOD!
This is the second installment of thousands of teachings, eCourses, TV Shows, and podcasts of the School of KINGDOM Living. If you missed Part 1, please go read it! (CLICK HERE) Through the School of KINGDOM Living, it is our great privilege and honor to help EVERYONE find their identity IN CHRIST. Never forget that God, our Father, DID EVERYTHING through the cross of Jesus, and we are now Ambassadors of Grace, empowered to live in and from the Father's Heart of Love.
What matters MOST (being transformed) should never be mistaken for what "demands the most." Followers of Jesus rely completely on the Grace of God, led only by Holy Spirit as He reveals the Father and the Son. Holy Spirit reveals, and the Son teaches, guides, and leads forever.
The Father and the Son made a plan before the foundations of the world were laid. Their plan for us has not changed, but Jesus has fulfilled it! Jesus is at the right hand of God, interceding for us. The question of the moment is, "Can you imagine God the Father failing to answer Jesus’ prayer on our behalf, EVER?"
Romans 8 :34 "who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, WHO ALSO INTERCEDES FOR US."
Jesus AND Holy Spirit are praying for us. How can we fail? Seriously, it would serve us to understand the TRUTH, walk in it, abide by it, and actually BELIEVE IT. Because we continually communicate with God through Christ, we have been given HIS RESTORED VISION.
John 9:32 “Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.”
The School of KINGDOM Living has a specific mission and several clear objectives. First, our mission is to help EVERYONE understand their Identity and Purpose IN CHRIST. We were made in the image and likeness of God, our Heavenly Father, and the Son, Jesus. Our entire identity and purpose are wrapped up and centered on one thing, and one thing only, our IDENTITY AS SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE LIVING GOD OF THE UNIVERSE!
To find our identity, we rely completely and solely on Holy Spirit as He reveals the Father and the Son. Holy Spirit reveals, and the Son teaches, guides, and leads forever.
The School of KINGDOM Living is about exercising FAITH in HIS REST to find our identity and purpose IN the finished work of Jesus Christ. According to the Bible, Jesus DID IT ALL, and we are to receive this TRUTH and rejoice. The ultimate will of the Father and the Son is to transform us into the Father's image and likeness. It is the Father's good pleasure to fulfill His original plan, which is to love us as His forever Sons & Daughters.
The School of KINGDOM Living is about allowing Jesus to transform us by Grace as a FREE Gift of the Father's LOVE, MERCY, WISDOM, and FAVOR. Followers of Christ know that once BORN AGAIN, we are new creations, the old is gone, and we are made the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST. We are eternally one with the Father and the Son through the Spirit.
While the BLIND NOW SEE through the eyes of CHRIST, please realize that satan and his demons are completely defeated. satan and his demons have no authority or power. They have been blinded and are led by the father of lies, who, by the way, only knows chaos. Think! satan and his hordes have no prophecy, and THEY ARE BLIND. Followers of Jesus, on the other hand, have the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. We have the CREATOR OF ALL THINGS INSIDE US, the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY guiding us, and the LIGHT OF THE WORLD showing us the way, and THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE US! How can we fail?
Romans 8:27 "and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."
Stop and think. How can we fail when God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit pray for us continuously, forever? And, keep in mind, the Cross finished everything, completely defeating the devil and his plans.
Ephesians 5:27 "that HE MIGHT PRESENT TO HIMSELF the church in all her glory, HAVING NO SPOT OR WRINKLE or any such thing; but that SHE WOULD BE HOLY AND BLAMELESS."
The Blood of the Lamb cleansed us from all sin, Jesus is the BREAD OF LIFE, and He came to FEED US ALL to give us ETERNAL LIFE and to live in and from the Father, once again. The River of Life, the Holy Spirit, is living water that transforms us from the inside out. From our innermost being flows RIVERS OF HIS LIFE.
It’s Time for a TRUTH STACK! We are NEW CREATIONS IN CHRIST!
Whenever we need to KNOW THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH about any subject or topic, I recommend pulling out your TRUTH STACK. A TRUTH STACK is a list of Scripture passages on a particular subject or topic, thus forming your understanding of the Father’s ABSOLUTE WILL based on ABSOLUTE TRUTH.
For example, below, please find my TRUTH STACK regarding “becoming a new creation IN CHRIST.” After reading and soaking through the Scriptures below, ask and answer the following questions. Are BELIEVERS literally “New Creations,” alive from the dead? Is our old self, our flesh nature, truly dead? Did we literally die and get raised to life through Christ, and if so, what does that mean exactly? After reading and soaking through the Scriptures below, answer the question, “What now?”
2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."
2 Corinthians 10:5 "We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ."
Romans 6:10 "For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God."
2 Corinthians 5:15 "and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf."
Romans 5:15 "But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many."
2 Corinthians 5:14 "For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died."
1 Peter 3:18 "For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit.
Romans 6:4 "Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life."
Romans 8:2 "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death."
Colossians 3:1 "Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God."
Colossians 3:3 "For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God."
Because of Jesus’ finished work, our identity HAS BEEN FULLY RESTORED.
