I AM CHOSEN

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

Galatians 2:20 NKJV

“My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, dispensing his life into mine!”

Galatians 2:20 TPT

My encouragement to you this day is to remember who you are in Christ. Not who you used to be in the world , not who you used to be when you first met Christ but look at your growth. Look at how far you’ve come. Not everyone is on the same level and that’s fine. When you gave your life to Christ you became born again. You became a babe in Christ. So where you’re at right now is ok. You’re growing . Christ is in you now. The fleshly desires must be daily crucified. You continue growing when follow Holy Spirits direction and not the flesh or heart, remember the heart is deceitful.

Being Christ lead Spirit lead is hard at times because the culture is pulling you one way and the flesh the other.

Challenge yourself to go a full day being lead by Holy Spirit. I say this to you because we all mess up. We all fall short. Sometimes we do things not realizing that it’s the flesh due to the fact that we’ve gotten to accustomed to doing it. Muscle memory I guess. Unlearn it. Unlearn the way you think , react and speak . Unlearn the characteristics of your old man. You are a new creation. When something is new, materialistically speaking , you try your best to keep it looking new. Shoes, clothes, appliances etc. you polish it up , keep it clean and remove stains . Do the same in your life.

Come to Lord with a heart of repentance daily. Begin to live that Christ crucified life.

There are so many benefits.

As God’s obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn’t know better. Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One who called you. For Scripture says: “You are to be holy, because I am holy.””

1 Peter 1:14-16 TPT

So I pray that you will Allow the Lord to reshape every part of you. That you will give him access to mould you. That whatever May come you will stay grounded in Him. That you will have eyes and ears to see and hear like him. I pray that His wisdom will rest upon you in Jesus name . amen .
