Victory is but a word if we do not push through. But what do we push through? Our fears mainly, but also our flesh. Our flesh wants one thing the Spirit wants another. The flesh sees it one way, but the Spirit sees it another. The flesh stands on one thing, but the Spirit is nowhere to be found. They will always be at enmity with the other. Therefore, obedience is imperative if we are to go on. The Lord is looking for an overcoming church in this hour. He is looking for those who will go on.
What are you standing on dear believer? Are you standing on doctrine, your beliefs, your church affiliation, your ideas of right and wrong? Christianity is not your arguments. Christianity is not your ideas. Christianity is not your likes and dislikes. Christianity is not your fears. Christianity is Christ. And until we are standing on that we will always be standing on the wrong thing. Until we are standing in the Spirit of Life. We will remain in the spirit of death.
If anyone wants to be my disciple, he must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me (Matthew 16:24). For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). The door of the cross always leads to the law of Spirit and life, but anything that falls short of that door and fails to enter in, remains in the law of sin and death. This is not about the atoning work of the cross. It is about the life giving work of the cross. If we love Him enough for the blood. Let us then love Him enough for the rest!
He wants you to go on dear believer. He wants you to love Him enough for the rest. Will you bring Him all that you fear, all that you are afraid to let go? Will you bring Him all of your head knowledge about Him, all of your arguments, all of your ideas. Bring Him in fact everything you stand on, everything you are afraid of, put it all in a bundle, and give Him the whole thing. Then have no reservations about what He takes out of that bundle. Let it be His right to choose. Let Him put to death whatever is needed, and then step through in obedience coming into what is Spirit and Life on the other side.
You may just find everything looks different here than that which you left behind. Many things you thought were important are now nowhere to be seen. Not that all of your former circumstances are changed, many may very well have remained the same, yet nothing is really the same. You have stepped into a new land now. There is light and life. Suddenly everything is hushed. Everything is quieted. You need no more. That is not to mean there are not mountains you see. Faith to be worked out. Battles to be won. But you knew it would be true when you took that step. You knew it would be true to come through. But You have found what you are looking for, You have found what is needed. Let Him then take everything, until only that which is really needed remains. This is the victory that has overcome the world. This is the church of the cross. This is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that has set us free from the law of sin and death. That is the church that is needed in this day. That is the church that rules and reigns. That is victory.
