John 8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
Life indeed is a battlefield, and Christianity is a call to war against the kingdom of darkness, and a call into a loving relationship with God. We are in a serious business, and you can't afford to live your life on negligence or chances. Every believer is called to partner with God to defeat the enemies of their journey back to heaven. But the relationship between God and us can only benefit us if we are conscious of it. Our confidence comes from awareness of God's presence in our lives. Knowing fully well that you are not alone in that struggle will give you more than a conqueror´s vibe.
Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
2 Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
When you are single, you do things that please only you, and you don't need to worry about hurting anyone´s feelings. But when you are engaged or in a relationship, you will begin to take precautions with your activities, your statements, and your associations, knowing fully well that you have a partner and are accountable to them. When we say yes to Jesus and begin a relationship with Him, we have shifted most of our responsibility to Him, and He expects us to be loyal, faithful, and obedient to his instruction. Relationships can only last if one respects each other´s boundaries. God has a boundary. And we are to respect His boundary; He is living inside of you, and he said you cannot carry him into a dirty place because He is a Holy God; He wants you to obey all His commandments, which is the term and condition of your relationship with Him. The proof of our love for God is in obedience. God dwells in those who love Him; He does not force Himself on anyone; He stays where He is respected and valued. If you value your relationship with God, you will respect him and maintain boundaries.
John 10:30 I and my Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Jesus Christ's confidence comes from awareness of God´s presence in his life. He knew that he was sent to do the work he came to this world to do, and he followed the instructions of the one who sent him. He does not make decisions without God´s involvement; he takes orders from above. He was so sure that the Jew would not be able to stop him because He that sent him is always with him. He relied solemnly on His father´s instructions. He lived his life to please Him because he knew that his victory could only come from pleasing his Father. He knew what could disconnect him from God, so he avoided such things and such places. He may be tempted to do something contrary to the will of God, but because of the value he had for the relationship, he was able to conquer such feelings. People hold what they value in high esteem; if you really value your relationship with God, you should protect it, knowing that your life depends on it. Many believers today are not aware of their relationship with God, and some have forgotten; they allow themselves to be carried away by the happenings of this world. And that is why they are losing battles left and right. If you ignore His existence in your life, He will ignore you and focus His attention on the people who value Him. He says that He will honour those who honour him. 1 Samuel 2:30 (Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed). I pray for you, your throne will not be given to another person, in the name of Jesus. Many have lost their crowns because of negligence. Friends, you are no longer alone; God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are living inside of you. You are more than a conqueror. He that is in you is greater than all your enemies and their master Satan, but you need to know who you truly are, begin to internalise it, and then manifest it openly. So many believers are victims of their ignorance.
Psalm 82:6 (I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes).
Friends, lack of awareness of who you are in Christ can be disastrous, but that will no longer be you from today, in Jesus name. Relationships are formed by agreement between parties. Jesus Christ wants to form a relationship with you. He said I should ask you to pray this salvation prayer below as a sign that you have accepted his proposal. Quickly say yes to him and be blessed, in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and accept You as my Lord and Saviour. I believe you died for me so that I could become a new man/woman. Forgive me all my sins, wash me with your blood, and give me a new heart. Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. Now I believe I am born again. And I am a child of God. Amen!
