LIVE LIKE THE WIND--POWERFUL JOINT HEIRS WITH CHRIST

LIVE LIKE THE WIND—POWERFUL JOINT HEIRS WITH CHRIST

God says in Jeremiah 1:5: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose.” To have true liberty and delight in this world, we need to know ourselves as Spiritual people and be led by that Spirit within us.

 

John 3:8 says: “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” When we allow the Spirit to rule, we should be going wherever it pleases. Second Corinthians 3:17 tells us: “The Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” And Galatians 5:1 tells us we should “stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.”

 

Once free and endeavoring to walk by the Spirit, we’re like the wind. We are free to obey the Spirit and go where we’re guided. Colossians 2:16: “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon,” where you hang out or what you do.

 

No one can judge you, only Jesus. Paul says he doesn’t even judge himself: “But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self” (1 Cor. 4:3).

 

Paul tells us: “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh is lusting against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law” (Gal. 5:16-18).

 

Verse 25 of Galatians 5 says: “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

 

We are told in Romans: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the Spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our Spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ” (Rom. 8:14-17).

 

Verse 29 tells us: “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”

 

This means that you and I are spiritual brothers and sisters of Christ. And not only are we related, but we also have Christ in us. When we learn more about how quantum physics works, we will understand how Christ can be in multiple places simultaneously. The Bible tells us in Colossians 1:27: “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you.”

 

As spiritual people with Jesus Christ in us, we are above every single demon, just like Jesus! Philippians 2:10 declares: “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.” We use Jesus’ name to operate with the same power.

 

And Colossians 2:15 says: “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them.” We also triumph over evil when we consciously make ourselves available to Jesus Christ, gently blowing us as he says happens with the wind: “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going” (John 3:8).

I’ve found this wind image to be very true when I minister to someone one-on-one. I consciously go to the Lord first and thank him for ministering through me. Then I open my mouth and say what he inspires me to say. Sometimes it just starts as a simple conversation with the person or a few questions, sometimes a prayer, and sometimes a bolder flow of a prophetic message straight from heaven. Often the message is as much of a surprise to me as it may be to the person I minister to. When I begin to minister, I don’t predetermine anything because I know Jesus will work it out in whatever way he knows will be best for the person receiving. It always delights me when I get to minister like this because, like the wind, I can hear myself speaking, but I never quite know which way it will come out or where it will go!

 

So, as Paul puts it in the book of Romans: “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  He that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? God that justifieth?

 

“Who is he that condemneth? Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

 

“It is written, ‘For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.’ [That’s before we became Holy Spirit people!] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

 

“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom. 8: 31-38).

 

Let’s believe it, receive it and act like it! We keep reminding ourselves of who we really are and that no devil spirit or demon is spiritually bigger than we are. Like Jesus, we stand. “Resist the devil and

and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).

 

And with all people, we walk in the Spirit. “And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Cor. 3:17). And “we walk in love” (Eph. 5:2).

 

Let’s live free, letting the Spirit direct us like the wind, loving people, and kicking the devil’s butt!
