"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you." Romans 8:9-11
So many Christians I know are worried about the weakness of their own flesh. If you are one of them, in the Name of Jesus stop it. The weakness of our flesh has been overcome by the power of our Father's might! We now have Christ dwelling within us and our mortal flesh has been quickened. Which means that it has been made alive together with Christ by the power and victory of God's very own Spirit. We are now one with God through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! We are now the Temples of the Holy Ghost and the very presence of our Father that now dwells within us cleanses us and strengthens us from all sin! “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16 We are now new creatures in Christ, old things are passed away from us, and behold all things are now new for us! “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 Before we were saved our flesh was weak, but now the weak have been made strong in Christ! We have been saved from our corrupted flesh; the weakness of our flesh has been done away with by the strength of the power of the Anointing of God that has been given us!
Jesus was with God from the very beginning! He was One with God and to save us from our weaknesses, He came to Earth as a man, born of a woman. He took on flesh, flesh that could be destroyed, flesh that could be tempted in every way that we can be tempted. “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” Hebrews 4:15 Jesus’ flesh could be destroyed, it wasn’t some supernatural flesh, it was just like ours and it was killed! Think about it, Jesus’ flesh had taken on every sin and every sickness that the world would ever have, and it was destroyed on the Cross, and afterwards it laid dead and lifeless in a tomb. Then after three days the power of God’s Anointing came upon it and Jesus’ flesh was quickened. The dead flesh of Christ was raised and made alive together with God! This is what has happened for us now that we are saved, our dead flesh has been raised up and made to be alive together with God!

“For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.” Ephesians 5:30
We are not in the flesh any longer, because we now have the Spirit of our Father dwelling within us. We have our Father's Spirit within us right now; today is the day of our salvation and now is the accepted time. This isn’t some whacked out theology, think about it, all God is saying is that His Anointing has overcome the weakness of our flesh!
"Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:11 Christ is now in us and His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, is now life for us and it is life abundantly! The power of our Father that raised Jesus from the dead and that forever eliminated sins ability to even touch Him, is now alive within us. We have been made alive together with the same life force of God, the Holy Spirit, that raised Jesus from the dead and that quickened Him together with God. The wage of sin is death, but the gift of our Father is life eternal through Christ Jesus our Lord! God tells us that we are to consider ourselves to be dead to sin and thus we also should consider ourselves to be dead to the wages of sin.

We are able to think this way about ourselves because God has given us the Mind of Christ. “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:16 God’s Mind knows and understands the power of His Anointing and the power of His salvation for us! The Anointed Mind of Christ, that God has given us, knows the Truth that human flesh apart from Him is nothing but sin. And it also knows the absolute Truth that our Father's Strength, provided to us by Jesus’ sacrifice, has overcome the weakness of our flesh! Our Father has given us a mind that knows Who He is within us and a mind that knows we are no longer alone! The mind that God has given us fully understands that we have been crucified with Christ, and nevertheless we live, yet it is not us that lives, it is Christ within us Who lives! The mind that God gives us knows that He can do all things through us by the power of His Anointing that He has given us!
Ask yourself this, do you really consider yourself dead to sin? If you don’t, ask our Father why you don’t? God’s eternal Word says that we should consider ourselves to be dead to sin and alive unto Him just as Jesus is. We have studied that God has given us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, and we seriously have to ask ourselves, did He or didn’t He do it? We have studied that through the power of Christ that we have full access to a life without falling. We have seen that God has given us exceedingly great and precious promises and that we have taken on the Divine nature of God Himself! We have all of this because of the power of Christ! This is who our Father has made us because He loves us, He never leaves us and He never forsakes us, so our quickened flesh is always strong through the power of His might! If you stop and actually consider that all of this greatness and freedom we have is only because of God, it is easily grasped and believed. Because our Father has the ability to make us that way, He is God!
Satan wants us to dwell on our flesh: we’re just a human, our sin nature, our shortcomings, blah, blah, blah. But the Word of God proclaims that our mortal flesh, the very thing that the world and satan wants us to consider as an unmovable restriction in our lives, has actually now been made alive. Through the power of the Holy Spirit within us, our Father has now quickened our flesh! God knew that our flesh was nothing but corruption, so He did something about it, He gave us something to overcome it, something that pertained to godliness, He gave us Himself, and the Light has driven out the darkness!
Is this blessing for now or is it for Heaven? Turn to Romans 6:6, “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin, for He that is dead is free from sin.” Now look at Colossians 3:3, “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” “If then ye be risen with Christ, seek the things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” Colossians 3:1 “And hath raises us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:6
Stop and recount the points that we have studied over the last several postings. We need love, so our Father gave us His love! We have a sinful body; so our Father quickened it with His Anointing! We need faith, so Jesus Authors and Finishes our faith! Our Father has given us all things that pertain to life and to Godliness. Everything the Father has, He has given us, as Jesus taught in the parable of the Prodigal Son! With Jesus, God can do everything through us! We are now one with Jesus and He is glorified in us! We are one with our Father, exactly as Jesus is One with Him, because we are now one with Jesus! Jesus dealt with our flesh on the Cross, and since He did, our Father has freely allowed us to walk in His Divine nature!
