LIVING ABUNDANTLY
IN CHRIST
We have perfect and divine health and healing, soundness of mind, financial prosperity, peace, joy, success, and a special ability to accomplish God's will for our lives. And we have been given rest!
So Then Why Do We Work So Hard?
Because we have been
conditioned to do things our way instead of God's. We have learned to
work hard daily just to survive and get
by, but that is not
God's best for us.
Ephesians 4:24 "And that
ye put on the new
man which after God
is
created in righteousness and true holiness.
As Christians we should
learn at salvation how to become the "new
man in Christ" or "new
creatures in Christ" so that life won't have to
be a
struggle.
However, many of our
churches don't guide their members into a life
of Christ, they just
preach salvation and leave the new Christian on their own.
They are unable to change because they are not instructed how to
cultivate their new life in Christ just as seeds are planted into the
ground. It's a process and it is a part of being a successful
Christian.
You can begin the process of living abundantly by:
1. Thanking/praising God for what He has done and is doing for you.
2.
Deciding to live in Christ
3. Following Him
4. Learn and obey the Word of God (Bible)
So
if you're in the midst of difficulty or you're just disappointed with
your life, you can begin to change your circumstances by first thanking
and praising God right now for what you have today and who you
are!
This is where your abundance in Christ
begins.
If you
can't do this, then it will be difficult to manifest the spiritual
and personal
growth
you desire to achieve, the ability to serve God
at your utmost, and your
ability to realize your dreams. This is
because you will always be
working hard on our own ability instead of God's.
Acts 10:34
Then
Peter opened his mouth, and said, "of a truth I perceive that God is no
respecter of persons."
You have no excuse not to be
thankful and follow God's Word because
it is for YOU! No
matter what you've done or what your background.
Before you you continue with
Part II of this Living Abundantly In Christ Bible study, I want you to
take time to be thankful to God and begin the process of Godly
abundance. Stand, kneel or sit and begin praising God in the
name of Jesus Christ for all He has done for you and is doing today.
I
Thessalonians 5:19 Rejoice
evermore.
Philippians
4:6 ...with
thanksgiving let your requests be made
known unto God.
I do this everyday, especially in difficult times to insure that I give God the ability to change my circumstances -- and He does!

It Makes Perfect Biblical Sense - That You Can Have What You Say!
Are You living abundantly? If not, you need to learn the fundamentals of faith and prayer to become all that you were meant to be. If you don't know how to have faith and you don't understand prayer principles, you won't be able to have what you say the way Mark 11:24 says that we can do by using the "prayer of faith."
STOP PRAYING WITHOUT
RESULTS. GET PERFECT BIBLICAL SENSE AND YOU'LL BEGIN TO GET
ANSWERED!
