The Spirit of Jesus Christ

 Some may say that Christ is head of the church, but when it comes to matters outside “the church” they hesitate and question, because of fears from belligerent dictators, world financiers, disease, famines and wars. Fear strips us from living “normal lives.”

 If we are not careful, we start to believe that these things have authority and just maybe God doesn’t care, leaving our hearts waning with thoughts of hopelessness and despair. As a result, it becomes increasingly difficult to fully enjoy the Lord and His vast supply. It is impossible to walk in light and darkness simultaneously. When we accept the light of His love we rise above the powers of darkness and hopelessness.

If we received the Holy Spirit, the spirit of Christ, the Anointed ONE, we have a win –win situation. Paul, a man acquainted with many trials and persecution, came to this conclusion. ¹⁹ because I know that through your encouragement and prayers and through the help of the Spirit of Jesus the Anointed, I will soon be released from this dark place. ²⁰ I don’t expect that dishonor and shame will plague me in any way, but I do hope that I will continue to be able to speak freely and courageously about Jesus, and that now and forever the Anointed One will be glorified and placed above all else through this body of mine—whether I live or die. ²¹ For my life is about the Anointed and Him alone.

 Jesus demonstrates the human side in which he was able to live victoriously, thus we need that constant supply of the same Spirit. Christ, refers to the resurrection side of the Lord’s victory; we are also in great need of that resurrection power.

Christ, Our Life Supply

Do you fear that the evils in this world will intensify so much that it will overthrow every Godly institution and work? No circumstance or condition should in any way cause us to stop eating and drinking (believing) in the absolute sovereignty and Lordship of Jesus Christ. The concept of eating and drinking Christ comes from John 6… ⁵⁶ If you eat My flesh and drink My blood, you will abide in Me and I will abide in you. ⁵⁷ The Father of life who sent Me has given life to Me; and as you eat My flesh, I will give life to you. ⁵⁸ This is bread that came down from heaven; I am not like the manna that your fathers ate and then died! If you eat this bread, your life will never end. Eating and drinking simply means to believe and trust the Lord for our life supply and satisfaction.

The reality is that all things are governed by the Lord, according to His timetable and His purpose. He allows certain things to be for a moment. Nothing and no one can operate outside of His permission. He is the head of all things, not just the creator but the head of all things, and all things must answer to Him.  Rev. 15: 3,4 And they *sang the song of Moses, the bond-servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying ,“Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are Your ways, King of the nations! Ancient emperors, Middle East dynasties, European dictators, supporters of all slave economies, African warlords, and eastern dictators, drug lords, the good, the bad and the indifferent, all must answer to the Lord.
