TouchofGod.World - Teaching Your Identity In Christ Pastor Marc Whelan

This week we look at whether we are liars in the face of God. We say that we know Him, but we may erroneously believe that we are loving Him while not actually obeying Him, His commandments and precepts.

By checking ourselves and ensuring that we focus on Him and act on His commandments to us, we keep away from error and sin that can so easily ensnare us.

This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 John 1:59; 1 John 2:1-16.

We all want to be on the best path in life. The Word of God, Jesus Himself, is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Without Him we can do nothing. Without Him we cannot be on the best path. The devil therefore lures us to more familiar activities and distractions. We get to choose what we should watch, listen to, and who to be around. Our soul is being affected in a positive or negative way, moment by moment every day.

Our old carnal way is what we are used to. It is what we used to enjoy. Things are different now that we are born again but the old man that died can be resurrected if we do not guard our mind from becoming re-conformed to the world (Romans 12:2 warns us against this.) Therefore there is a constant battle for our attention. Both God and Satan want our focus. God, for our own good because He loves us and knows the dangers of you slipping back into Satan's darkness. Satan wants to keep you from becoming transformed by understanding the Truth of the Word of God. Hence, the choice each hour, each minute is yours. What will you feed your soul? The World or The Truth so that you can be transformed into the person God created you to be?

This program reminds us of the defeat of sickness and disease, as a result of God defeating the devil and his powers of darkness by him being  disarmed (Col 2:15). The devil may still have the ability to inflict sickness and disease and other oppressive evil measures against humanity, but he has no authority to do so because of being disarmed by  God in Christ, at the Cross (Col 2:15).

Now,  the believer, having faith in, and using the name of Jesus, can triumph in Him (Jesus) over evil, by speaking God’s Word over a situation. As a result, the believer, in Christ, using faith, can set a person free from any work of the enemy including sickness and disease.

We also speak about the nature of how the human race multiplies and continues to reproduce fallen human beings due to the lineage back to  Adam. That is until a person decides to become born again, giving their life over to Christ, receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. Their old spirit is then recreated, their lineage to the fallen human race being severed. At this point, since they are a new creation (2 Cor 5:17), their new lineage now goes back one generation to Christ Himself.

This program is best described by simply quoting the scriptures discussed in Ephesians 1 verses 17 to 21:  17 [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, 18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), 19 And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, 20 Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], 21 Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.

Today we look at how to be at peace in Christ by not being anxious for anything. Knowing your Heavenly Father is key in order to be able to trust in Him in every circumstance, in everything in your day. Know that He is for you and not against you. Be set free from all worry and anxiety so that you can be secure in the love and peace of God in Christ.
