Be Conscious

Thought For Today: Being Conscious that you’re from Above Posted on September 19, 2012 by Christ Embassy Online And he said unto them, ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; l am not of this world (John 8:23). The most sublime and profound communication ever to proceed from anyone came from the lips of Jesus. The Jews in His day couldn’t comprehend the wisdom and audacity with which the Master spoke. That’s because Jesus communicated with a spiritual language while they were men and women of the senses. For example, when He said in the scripture above, “I am from above,” He wasn’t referring to a physical life. He was referring to a spiritual life! Jesus knew that His life didn’t come from Mary, because He was the Word of God made flesh. Conscious of that reality, He could say with boldness that He was not of this world. Now, the Bible says concerning us that as He (Jesus) is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:1 7). If you’re born again, you’re no longer an ordinary person; you’re from above just as Jesus, and you have the same indestructible life that He has. The Bible says we’ve been born again “not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Peter 1:23). You’ve been born again of that same living Word, which came from heaven, which means you too can declare like Jesus, “I am from above!” I would to God every believer in Christ will live with this consciousness. It will change everything about you and bring a supernatural perspective to your life! Don’t think like the rest of the world; yes, you may look like them physically, but the life in you is from above. Train yourself in this consciousness. Speak a different language; the language of the Kingdom that you’re from. Refuse to speak sickness, disease, lack, and failure. They’re not part of your heavenly Kingdom. For example, it doesn’t matter that others around you are catching the flu, you’re from above; the life in you destroys and casts out the flu. I encourage you to carry this consciousness to work, school, and wherever you go. When you open your mouth to speak, others may think you’re out of your mind or you’re being boastful (like they thought of Jesus) but that shouldn’t change your confession of who you are: you’re from above!

What does the Bible say about setting goals?

The Bible offers a balanced approach to setting goals that includes making plans yet doing so with wisdom and humility. Jesus’ illustration of building a tower implies that it is a good thing to have set goals ( Luke 14:28 ). To live with no motivation or planning is not God’s desire.  Proverbs 6:6-11  says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard;     consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief,     officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer     and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard?     When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber,     a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber,     and want like an armed man.” Laziness causes a person to neglect work and fail to exploit the window of opportunity. Summer is the preparation time for winter, and we dare not wile it away. Failure to plan ahead will result in “poverty” and “want.” Wisely setting goals leads to better results: “Th

How do I know if I am a Christian?

Jesus taught that the condition of a person’s heart will manifest itself in his or her behavior: “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart” ( Luke 6:43–45 ; cf.  Matthew 7:16 ). So, when considering whether or not you are a Christian, you can consider the kind of fruit that is produced in the life of a Christian: 1.  Complete trust in Christ’s death and resurrection as sufficient payment for the debt we owe God.  A Christian is one who  trusts Christ  exclusively. Doubts come when we fear we must add something to the work of Christ to ensure our salvation.  Ephesians 2:8–9  makes it clear that we are not saved by our works, but by God’s grace alone. No matter how righteous we may appear, none of us come close to e
