Revelation 260909 - No Longer !

Service was uber awesome! And cg was great.

I just wanna share a revelation I received from Adam during cgm.

Gal 2:20 says:

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

As I look back at the things Ive went through, the struggles Im now going through, I began to remember the life that Jesus lived. Whatever Jesus went through, we will go through. Likewise, just as we are identified with Christ in His death, we are also likened to Him through His death on the cross.

What does it mean? Do we fully grasp the revelation behind it? Well, I did. But it wasnt easy.

The gospel is a threefold process: Death, Burial, Resurrection.

Sometimes we wonder, why are things happening the way they do.

We may not fully understand, we may not comprehend,

We may not even be directly involved in whats happening; Its beyond our control.

But..

Like Jesus, we will go through the life He went through, afterall, we are His 'followers' right? So following in His footsteps, is part and parcel of our walk of faith.

So therefore, it is no longer I who live, but CHRIST, who lives in me. This life of trials and tribulations, for me, this current life of misunderstandings, confusions, sufferings, is Christ in us, manifested.

Because what does it mean for Christ to live in us?

As simple as it is, our lives, becoming HIS life.

So dont be overwhelmed by things that happen, its no longer our life, but HIS life.

So much so, that the life we now live, we live by FAITH in the Son of God! In some translations it says 'the faith OF the Son of God.

We are like a tape recorder, the moment, we accept Him, we surrender to Him, we say, 'let my life Lord, be Your life.', literally, a PLAY button is pressed.

And we begin to 'imitate' and 'act out', more so, we LIVE OUT the life Christ lived.

Yes, we have no control sometimes, but just as how He died and was buried, likewise, we can have this assurance, that we will be identified in His resurrection, His victory, His power and glory, in this lifetime! Let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done, on EARTH, as it is in heaven.

Many people say, prosperity is for heaven, that we have to live our lives in lack here on earth, come on, you mean to say all this while you've been praying the Lord's prayer but you totally missed the point and what it means? Of course not.

Then some will say, 'oh, its talking about the NEW earth.'

Then God's will for all to be saved in THIS earth, will not be fulfilled, the end wont come, the new heaven and the new earth wont exist!

Jesus lived a life of abundance, afterall, the roman soldiers were fighting for his clothes!

Who in the right mind will fight for some cheap and worthless fabric?

You mean God is so dumb that He made the people in the bible look dumb?

This aint Simpsons my friend. LOL.

He grew up as a carpenter. He had a career. He was healthy, but He became sick on the cross. He was prosperous, but on the cross He became poor, etc. Im sure in primary school, you already know the meaning of the word "became".

The bible said, "He became poor so that we can become rich..."

It didnt say, "He was poor so that we are rich".

In this first place, this is BROKEN ENGLISH! LOL.

To 'become' is to go through a stage of transition, thats why Ps always says, you may be poor today, but if you follow Jesus you'll not stay poor all your life!

Because why?

It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in Me.

That the life I now live, I live by faith.

Death - Burial - Resurrection.

People then say "Resurrection means in the future, so how can we say we will experience the abundance and healing of God in this lifetime?"

Because God is El Cheapo, but El Shaddai, the God of MORE than enough!

God did not save us, to live a life of death and burial and stay there till we are dead!

He has come, to give us life, and life more abundantly!

He will make you the head and not the tail, above and not beneath,

Blessed in your coming in, blessed in your going forth!
