What Do You Believe?

"That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one. I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me." John 17:21-23

Ask yourself this question honestly; do you believe all of these verses that we have studied together over the last couple of days? If you don’t, here is what you do: First of all remember this Godly Truth, there is now no condemnation for us, none whatsoever! Say that out loud, there is now no condemnation for me in Christ! Faith comes for us from hearing the Truth of God! Jesus has set us free from condemnation by sending the Holy Spirit to dwell within us. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:1 God is not out to condemn us; He is ever living to save us to the uttermost! I thank You Lord for Your grace and the Truth is God does not want us condemning ourselves either, once again thank You Lord! But what God does want for us is to live in the fullness of His Truth and to be set free by it! God wants to live within us and one with us. God wants to cause us to walk in His Truth, and it’s not a burden, it’s pleasant, it’s life and peace that passes all understanding, and God’s Truth is easy to be borne and it will set us free!

If you are struggling with accepting who you are in Christ Jesus now, the Truth is your not alone, you have the Spirit of Truth dwelling within you, and He knows exactly and completely what you need. And that Spirit of Truth will cause you to call out for God for help. It’s really just that simple, all we have to do is ask! We don’t have to get all caught up in how we ask, God knows our hearts! “Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.” Matthew 6:8 You may be empowered to start to believe immediately, it may take some time, but when we ask, we receive! “Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:24 It is God’s will for us to live as He is in this world, and He empowers us to do so by Anointing us to be one with Him in this world? “In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17 Amplified Bible We are able to have confidence and boldness because of our union and communion that we now have with God! “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14 We are now one with God and we now have union and communion with Him and God’s Light has driven out all of the darkness that was in us by crucifying us with His Anointing! We are blessed in the power of our Fathers might today and everyday, forevermore!
