I love to imagine what the church would be like if we heard from God daily, we had no fears, and did what He said. And imagine if we all really believed what God says about us.
Let’s start with this promise (my version of Colossians 2:9,10) – For in Him (Jesus) the whole fullness of Deity continues to dwell in bodily form – giving complete expression of the divine nature and you are in Him, made full and have come to fullness of life – in Christ you too are ‘ filled full’ with the Godhead: Father, Son and Holy spirit, that is, you are perfect in Him.
Did that say I am filled full with God and I am perfect in Christ? Yes!! I could probably stop there as that promise sounds enough to do all that God has called us to do but I’ll add a few other verses.
Let’s look at Luke 10:19 which was when Jesus was talking to the disciples.
Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and physical and mental strength and ability over all the power that the enemy possesses and nothing shall in any way harm you.
BEHOLD means to see or observe something that is remarkable or impressive. In other words TAKE NOTE! We have authority, power, physical and mental strength and ability over all the power of the enemy and NOTHING will harm us – and this was written before the Holy Spirit was given!
1 Cor. 2:16 We have the mind of Christ and hold the thoughts, feelings and purposes of His heart
Prov.28:1 the uncompromisingly righteous are bold as a lion.
You won’t need these promises if you stay as you are in your comfort zone. You actually only need them if you are uncompromising, desiring God’s will over your own. Don’t leave these promises on the pages of your Bible. Step out into that adventure with God. Partner with God, claim His promises, be all you’re called to be and see what He will do through your life to bring His kingdom to earth.
