I REVEALED THE LIFE IN CHRIST GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THROUGH HIS WORD. I UNDERSTAND THAT GOD'S WORD IS THE TRUTH I STAND UNDER. GOD'S WORD IS MY SHEILD AGAINST DOUBT, FEAR AND UNBELIEF. WITH GOD'S WORD I RESIST THE DEVIL AND THE DEVIL MUST FLEE FROM ME. WITH GOD'S WORD I DRAW CLOSER TO GOD AND GOD DRAWS CLOSER TO ME. WITH THE WORD OF GOD, GOD WASHES MY HANDS OF MY SINS AND PURIFIES MY HEART OF MY DOUBLE - MINDEDNESS.
TODAY GOD'S WORD IS MY FOCUS, MY SPIRITUAL MIND AND MY HUMAN MIND ARE IN AGREEMENT ON THIS.
"FREEDOM FROM HUMAN REGULATIONS THROUGH LIFE WITH CHRIST."
PAUL SAYS, BECAUSE YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST IS FIRM:
"SO THEN, JUST AS YOU RECEIVED CHRIST JESUS AS LORD, CONTINUE TO LIVE IN CHRIST, ROOTED AND BUILT UP IN CHRIST, STRENGTHENED IN THE FAITH AS YOU WERE TAUGHT, AND OVERFLOWING WITH THANKFULNESS. SEE TO IT THAT NO ONE TAKES YOU CAPTIVE THROUGH HOLLOW AND DECEPTIVE PHILOSOPHY, WHICH DEPENDS ON HUMAN TRADITION AND THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THIS WORLD RATHER THAN ON CHRIST. FOR IN CHRIST ALL THE FULLNESS OF THE DEITY LIVES IN BODLY FORM, AND YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN FULLNESS IN CHRIST, WHO IS THE HEAD OVER EVERY POWER AND AUTHORITY. IN CHRIST YOU WERE ALSO CIRCUMCISED, THE PUTTING OFF OF THE SINFUL NATURE, NOT WITH A CIRCUMCISION DONE BY THE HANDS OF MEN BUT WITH THE CIRCUMCISION DONE BY CHRIST, HAVING BEEN BURIED WITH CHRIST IN BAPTISM AND RAISED WITH CHRIST THROUGH YOUR FAITH IN THE POWER OF GOD, WHO RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD.
WHEN YOU WERE DEAD IN YOUR SINS AND IN THE UNCIRCUMCISSION OF YOUR SINFUL NATURE, GOD MADE YOU ALIVE WITH CHRIST. GOD FORGAVE US ALL OUR SINS, HAVING CANCELED THE WRITTEN CODE, WITH ITS REGULATIONS, THAT WAS AGAINST US AND THAT STOOD OPPOSED TO US; GOD TOOK IT AWAY, NAILING IT TO THE CROSS. GOD HAVING DISARMED THE POWERS AND AUTHORITES, GOD MADE A PUBLIC SPECTACLE OF THEM, TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN CHRIST BY THE CROSS.
THEREFORE DO NOT LET ANYONE JUDGE YOU BY WHAT YOU EAT OR DRINK, OR WITH REGARD TO A RELIGIOUS FESTIVAL, A NEW MOON CELEBRATION OR A SABBATH DAY. THESE ARE A SHADOW OF THE THINGS THAT WERE TO COME; THE REALITY , HOWEVER, IS FOUND IN CHRIST.
DO NOT LET ANYONE WHO DELIGHTS IN FALSE HUMILITY AND THE WORSHIP OF ANGLES DISQUALIFY YOU FOR THE PRIZE. HE HAS LOST CONNECTION WITH THE HEAD, FROM WHOM THE WHOLE BODY, SUPPORTED AND HELD TOGETHER BY ITS LIGAMENTS AND SINEWS, GROWS AS GOD CAUSES IT TO GROW.
SINCE YOU DIED WITH CHRIST TO THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THIS WORLD, WHY, AS THOUGH YOU STILL BELONGED TO IT, DO YOU SUBMIT TO ITS RULES: "DO NOT HANDLE! DO NOT TASTE! DO NOT TOUCH!"? THESE ARE ALL DESTINED TO PERISH WITH USE, BECAUSE THEY ARE BASED ON HUMAN COMMANDS AND TEACHING. SUCH REGULATIONS INDEED HAVE AN APPEARANCE OF WISDOM WITH THEIR SELF - IMPOSED WORSHIP, THEIR FALSE HUMILITY AND THEIR HARSH TREATMENT OF THE BODY, BUT THEY LACK ANY VALUE IN RESTRAINING SENSUAL INDULGENCE. (Colossians 2:6-23)
I AM FREE BECAUSE GOD CANCELED THE WRITTEN CODE AND GOD DISARMED THE POWER AND AUTHORITIES. GOD TRIUMPH OVER THEM IN CHRIST BY THE CROSS.
TODAY CHRIST IS MY REALITY, I HAVE DIED WITH CHRIST TO THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THIS WORLD AND ITS SENSUAL INDULGENCES.
MAY THE GOD OF PEACE, WHO THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE ETERNAL COVENANT BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THAT GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP, EQUIP ME WITH EVERYTHING GOOD FOR DOING GOD'S WILL, AND MAY GOD WORK IN ME WHAT IS PLEASING TO GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, TO WHOM BE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER." AMEN! (Heb.13:20-21)
"CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANKS BE TO GOD." AMEN!
