Life of God in You

By Rodney Rutter

When a person receives Christ, he becomes the offspring of God: (John 1:12-13) "as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God".
The Lord Jesus said in John 10:10 that the reason He came is that men might have divine life; the triumphant and victorious life of God, and have it in overflowing measure. This life is what makes the believer a superman in Christ. It is what makes you extraordinary, with power to do the impossible. Having received this life, you're to live triumphantly every day and reign victoriously through Christ Jesus. That's your calling: "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place" (2 Corinthians 2:14).
Being born again, you're no longer an "ordinary human being"; you're now a partaker of the divine nature. Divinity is now at work in you. Become conscious of your divine nature. Fear, weakness, sadness and depression won't have a place in your life when you live true to your calling as one who's been appointed unto the triumphant life in Christ.

Colossians 2:13-15(NLT)

"You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He (God) cancelled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross."

God has made us alive with Christ! Wow, man, this is awesome!

I am alive with Christ. Not just alive like as in breathing, ALIVE WITH CHRIST. That is why John could declare in 1 John 4:17 as He (Jesus) is so am I in this world. There is a Christ Life into which the believer has been placed (Colossians 3:3).

The way to enter into this reality (TRUTH) is to agree with God. It is quite practical. Romans 6:11-13 encourages us to consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to God. Be conscious, aware and decide to operate in the Christ Life, the victory life. Refuse to operate as the first Adam, put on Christ and live like the second Adam, who is from above.

I am from above, I hail from God (1 John 4:4), my life is hid with Christ in God. Make this your confession.

Acts 17:28(NLT)

"For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’"

1 John 4:9(NKJ)

"In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him."

This is the mind-set of the righteous. God wants you to have a divine attitude to life. He continuously proclaims your oneness with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17). Begin to see yourself as the offspring of God, a spirit being manifesting the glory of your Father within you.

This sounds radical, but only for the natural man. For the real you, created in the true image of God in true righteousness (Ephesians 4:24), this is
