Ensconced in Christ Jesus!

“Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” 2 Corinthians 5:10

The definition of ensconced is to be established in a comfortable and safe place. In the context of God, this refers to living in oneness with Christ the Lord.

This can only happen if you are anchored to God through the Holy Spirit who is sealed within you.

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness through prayer, meditating on the Word of God, and listening for the voice of Christ.

You can lead a life pleasing to God if you are submitting to the authority of the Holy Spirit. This is because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus will set you free from the law of sin and death. Christ lives in you. 

The Holy Spirit examines all your motives and is at work to build the values of Christ into your life. He convicts you of sin and keeps you on track with God.

An excellent discipline to build into your spiritual life is to commit your works each day to Christ and ask Him to fill you with His thoughts. This helps to keep self out of the way, avoid temptations and allows you to experience the reality of the Living Christ.

Jesus speaks to His people and desires to be your fortress of comfort and safety. Walk by faith reaching out to Him for your every need.

A Christmas message for all!

I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I desire to protect you from the swirling troubles and the distresses of living in the world but you must come to Me with an open heart and a willingness to listen for My voice. I want your obedience above all else. You can trust Me implicitly because I keep My Word. Look no further than Me for your every sufficiency. I am Christ the Lord and have power and authority over the heavens and earth. I died so you can live!
