Fit to Follow

Fit to Follow

“Whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” MATTHEW 16:25 Some will say, “I am willing to die now that I have followed.” The person who knows the Cross says, “I am fit to follow now that I have died.” Why is this important? Because Jesus knows that no human being is qualified to follow Him until they have first died. Jesus knows a man cannot live until he has died and been raised to life again. He therefore bids us to die right away, that He may raise us from the dead by His Indwelling Spirit and place us immediately upon the correct path.

Heavenly Perception

Heavenly Perception

“God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us… raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” EPHESIANS 2:4,6 The difference between those who overcome and those who do not overcome is a difference in their own PERCEIVED position. We all ought to perceive that in Christ we are seated in the heavenly places. We cannot overcome without this perception, this seeing, this revelation. If our perception is earthly, we will remain earthly. If our perception is heavenly, we will overcome. ​​​​​​​ Source: “Lord of All” by Chip Brogden http://www.chipbrogden.com/lord-of-all Like this?
