Living A Crucified Life

As Christians we usually don’t understand completely what the apostle Paul means when he said; I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: [Galatians 2: 20 [, we have so many different teachings about crucifying the flesh, I will be the first to say that a few are correct in what they are teaching. One way to understand how you can have different ministers teaching truth about a subject like , crucifying the flesh, taking up your cross, and other subjects in the Bible, and I’m just singling out these for this post, at 4crossministry.com we teach a growing up into the full stature of Christ [Ephesians 4: 13; Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:], the scriptures also reveals that God didn’t give  the Spirit by measure to Jesus [John 3: 34; For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.] but when we are born again we receive the spirit by measure, we are born again with a incorruptible seed by the word of God,[1 Peter 1: 23;] that seed is Jesus, when we hear the word of God preached, or taught from someone, somewhere it is then sowed in our heart, or earth is what the word relates our heart to when the sower sows the seed, Jesus even taught a parable on the sower [ Matthew 13: 3-9,] and when the Lord taught about the sower the one thing that was always perfect was the incorruptible seed [the word of God], now Jesus tells us about the sower, we can see that the sower would sow the seed in different types of grounds in the earth, the wayside, stony places, among thorns, some fell in good ground, Jesus was also illustrating how some ground need to be plowed and work more then others, and sometimes some ground just will never except the seed, but the scriptures tells us about what the word can do when the plowman and the sower work together as one in Christ Jesus, the scriptures says [Jeremiah 23; 29. Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD: and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?], if you see what Jeremiah is saying, this will helps to understand about the plowman and the sower being one, this all goes back to growing up in Christ Jesus and Christ growing in us, when the seed is sowed in our heart/earth we have to make a prudent choice to turn from our sins, and cry out to Jesus from our heart and confess/voice and repent. Jesus tells us about a rest we can find when we come to him {Matthew 11: 28; Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.}. But the Lord told of another rest, you can see it when we finish what he completly said in the next two verses {Matthew 11: 29-30; Take my yoke upon you,and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. When the LORD gave Moses the plans to build the Tabernacle it had to be perfect, it is a picture of the Lord coming, from how it is set up in the form of a cross, [Exodus 40], God put wisdom in all that are wise hearted to build the tabernacle [Exodus 36: 1-3;], all of this from Geneses to Revelation is a blueprint for us to grow to the full stature of Christ Jesus.

Cause And Effect
The Father Is The Head Of All Things

Mountain's And Valley's

When the Father leads us to his Son Christ Jesus and we bend our knees at the altar of his feet and begin confessing our sins, and laying down everything that has brought us to this point in our life’s journey and it is at this moment that a tremendous load of relief comes over us, it is like we have laid down such a heavy weight from our sinful life, this is the gift of God’s love and salvation towards and for man, then as we begin our journey out of Egypt (Egypt pictures our life enslaved to our sin with Lucifer being our task master) like the children of Israel was after a Pharaoh was raised up that didn’t know who Joseph was, because of the increasing growth of Israel they were enslaved for fear of them becoming an enemy, now all that the children of Israel  did as a son in their journey to Canaan’s land we will experience in our journey, that is what makes the Word of God come alive in our own everyday life (types and shadows of the Old Testament) some of the same thing in our own spiritual and natural life can be pictured in Israels journey from Egypt to Canaan’s Land {there is a book by Rev. Bernice R. Hicks called Israel’s Journey From Egypt To Canaan’s Land a must read}. When we are on this journey the Father allows thing to happen so that we can see who we are within as we walk with Jesus the living Word of God, see the Light of the world Christ in us will shine out things in our heart that isn’t like our LORD Jesus Christ, and it is because we are continually crying out to God that he make us like him in his righteous image, and to give us clean hands to lift holy before him to praise his name, and feet to walk a straight path because he is the Lamp unto our feet and a Light unto our path, because we need a pure heart to see God, we want our mouth, thoughts, feelings bridled and in subjection to the mind of Christ, and to put on the mind of Christ we have to be willing to go where he has been to get to where Jesus is taking us. When we begin to realize that the Father is the head of all things that is when a little light of understanding opens our eye’s to see that these things (causes) are to bring forth an effect from within our heart to without of our mouth, the effect is to make his name known to all nations (people) and we do that by Thanking the Father for the cause that he allowed to bring the effect, Bless, Praise, Magnify his Wonderful Name in all things, even when we miss it when it happens, see that thing (cause) the Father allowed was to show you what he wants you to bring to the altar by your choice of desire to be one with him through the Son, that is part of the journey, we want the resurrected Christ but so many don’t want to follow the life of Jesus in obedience to the Father from their birth to a garden, to a cross, death, and descend to altar of grace where the Father hears your cry and you are alive, not you but Christ in you. See there is times God will allow things (causes) to come and we will thank, praise,bless, and magnify his name and that will be the Power of the Resurrected Christ in us, not our strength but his, yes, we will fell when things (causes) are sent to reveal what isn’t like the LORD because we are weak, poor, and in need of a Savior, we have to learn to depend fully on the Father for everything. I am writing this with understanding because of experiences in my own life living a crucified way of living and yes, I see my weakness everyday striving to be like my LORD Jesus Christ, and me bringing my failures to the altar I’ve seen his Governmental Name’s guide my life daily. The Father Is The Head Of All Thing’s!
