A biblical Christian has
repented of their sin and of doing things their way. They have asked God to
forgive them and have asked Jesus to come into their heart and be their Lord
and Savior.
They learn from the Bible that God’s plan of salvation includes entering into
Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. They are glad to hear that all they have
to do is live by faith--faith that their old man or carnal nature is crucified
and faith that they have been resurrected from the dead and given new life--the
life of Christ.
They understand that Jesus is the blueprint and He will recreate them in His
image as they yield to Him.
They have a game plan and that is to spend each day listening to and learning
from the Lord.
They renew their mind with the Holy Bible and have a servant’s heart toward
God. They take pleasure in loving, witnessing, and ministering to people o9f
all walks of life because Jesus lives in them and they are a member of His body
and therefore happily do His thing.
They have been relieved of the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of
riches, and the lust for other things. Their life is hid with Christ in God.
This world is not their home. Their burden is light and their yoke is easy.
They have a glorious and eternal future. For now, they are willing to suffer
rather than to fail to please God, if it is necessary to their particular
ministry.
They practice looking in the mirror of the Word and when they walk away, they
remember what they look like because they are doers of the Word.
The put on the full armor of God and stand against the enemy.
They long to congregate with like-minded people so that, as a body, they can
help one another live, move, and have their being, in Christ.
They abhor the thought of a worldly church and understand that the church is
built upon the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone.
And they understand that God ordained the church to be a place where Christians
urge one another on to love and good works.
That church is a tight-knit group of like-minded people who walk by the spirit
and not by the flesh. They operate the same as the human body--all having their
unique function, yet always working as a unit, being single-minded on serving
the Lord.
I prophesy that you will Rise & Walk"
